Chapter 1367: The Orchid Fair

Chapter 1367 Lan Rendezvous

After holding the first cultural meeting in Lanzhou, Su You accompanied Ouyang Fa and others to Liangzhou, shifting from agriculture to industry.

Su You has great ambitions, and since Ningxia Sanlu does not lack an industrial base, all states will do it.

But big factories still have to rely on big cities.

Lanzhou is the best place, with the advantages of water transportation, there are advantages of land routes, in addition to gold, silver and copper, there are salt, iron, coal, miscanthus salt, silica, potash salt, and there is the capital to become a large industrial base.

In addition, Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Xingqing Prefecture should also be handled in this way, and the time should be faster, so as to lay the foundation for the next wool industry, cotton industry, and military industry.

The task is daunting, but it is not impossible, because of the abundance of minerals, abundant energy, abundant livestock, and extremely low labor costs.

After opening up several large gold, silver and copper mines, Suyou began to build the Liangzhou Iron Works.

The mature open-hearth steelmaking method is still used, and the iron plant also needs to be equipped with three acid and two alkali plants and cement plants.

A huge factory has begun to take shape, and all kinds of equipment have been transported from Lanzhou.

The transportation of this equipment was very difficult, taking the Bianqu Canal from Zhengzhou to the Yellow River, turning Luoshui to Yan'an, and then sending it overland to Lingzhou and then into the Yellow River to bypass the Yellow River Waterfall and Hetao Bay.

After that, it was transferred to Lanzhou and then sent to Liangzhou by land.

Therefore, it is not possible to transport large workpieces, the main things are the instruments, the tools, and the two latest machine beds.

The rest needs to be started from scratch in Hexi.

More than a dozen carts were transported from various drawings alone.

It is not enough to rely on only one Shi Yong, Su You also transferred two generals from Sitong to come over, Su Hui and Shi Luan.

Su Hui assisted Li Shunju in managing banking affairs, and Shi Luan and Shi Yong were in charge of the construction of the industrial base.

Chaogu should be responsible for manpower coordination and government affairs coordination.

Su Oil is in charge of the overall situation of industrial distribution and logistics.

Shen Kuo panacea, do whatever you need to do.

Fortunately, Ningxia is blessed with high anthracite mining, and even coking plants can be omitted first.

Coupled with the iron materials prepared by Chaogu before, as well as the asbestos mine and quartz sand in Qilian Mountain, Lanzhou No. 1 Iron Plant will soon be put into use.

It took 24 hours for the first furnace to produce 10,000 catties, and it was still at the level of the first furnace in Yezhou that year.

However, the steel quality of this batch of steel is excellent, which is better than the original Qingfeng steel in Western Xia.

When the Great Song Dynasty industry began to spread, when Sitong was beneficiating all day, only the coal mine iron ore in Xixia was the best, and Zhao Ji was so angry that he fell something.

Hearing that Su You began to use the new method of steelmaking in Western Xia, Zhao Wei asked that the steel must be sent to Bianjing City to show him.

Of course, Su You would not be so unlevel, so according to the style of the Tianfang Damascus knife, plus the Hetian white jade sent by the Khotanese merchants, plus the local gold and silver of Ningxia, Zhao Ji created two black sweat style riding knives and a Han sword.

The jade sword, that is, is used to pretend to be forced, but Zhao Ji likes it very much.

In June, Jia Yin, supervised the revision of the history of the country, Wang Qi, on the "Official History of the Two Dynasties" 120 volumes.

Before the restructuring of Yuanfeng, he was the second prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he worked part-time to study national history.

This is the result of Wang Qi's handover and resignation work after he assumed the post of prime minister.

This book originally had a lot more historical information than the "Renying Record", but the book pretended to be the edict of Renzong, not Kou Zhun but Ding Wei, and I thought it was ridiculed.

Yi Mao, Su Youlu Hexi Confucian descendants of the name to enter, test its text, awarded as the state of learning.

Lanzhou Institute of Technology was established, Xingzhou Confucian Temple was rebuilt, and the school palace was added.

The edict obeyed.

Bingchen, edict: "From now on, it is not based on the size of the matter, and the book province takes the decree, the door province repeats, and the book province implements."

The three provinces have the same purpose, and they do not carry the words of the three provinces. ”

On that day, Cai Jing played, and the Zhongshu Province took the sole purpose, and the matter was too heavy.

Zhao Ji issued an edict: "The three provinces are even, the Chinese book is discussed, the door is reviewed and recalled, and the book is inherited;

If there is something inappropriate, it can be played by itself, and it is not appropriate to mess up the system. ”

Although the previous official system imitated the names of the three provinces, the Zhongshu, Menxia, and Shangshu could all take orders and orders, causing some confusion.

So Zhao Ji still let the Chinese book take the decree, but gave the subordinates and the right to discuss the book, and they could supervise it.

Guihai, edict: "The six Cao affairs of Shangshu Province should be taken from the decree, all of them are Shangshu Provincial Inspection Regulations, Shangzhong Province." ”

Another edict: "Those who have received the decree of the Zhongshu and Menxia Province shall not be approved from now on, and they will all be sent to the Shangshu Province for implementation." Order. ”

Another edict: "Shangshu Province has to play the six imperial history dereliction of duty." ”

These three edicts strengthened the power of the left and right sides of Shangshu Province, and avoided the possibility of the officials of the six ministries colluding with Zhongshu and setting up Shangshu Province.

At the same time, Shangshu Province is used to balance Taiwan, Taiwan is used to balance Zhongshu Province, and Zhongshu Province is balanced by Zhongshu Gate.

In the afternoon, the edict dismissed the Dali official and went to Zhongshu Province to complain about the case.

This is to separate the judiciary from interference from the Ministry of Books.

Wuzi, in the imperial history, there are ten people who are appointed to speak or judge.

Ouyang Fa and Liu Fengshi "Catalogue of Dunhuang Stone Chamber Testaments".

Li Shunju, Chaogu, and Liang Yi buried more than the pseudo-summer palace ban, and the mausoleum was completed, and then moved to Langzuo to restore the festival and make the ceremony, and Du Bing often buried the prince.

There are many things in the pseudo-summer, which can be used by the palace to help the Beijing teacher.

The edict compiled the "Sermon of the Two Dynasties of Benevolence and Youth".

There was another big event in June - the completion of the Lanzhou iron pontoon bridge.

The completion of this pontoon bridge not only marks the disappearance of the Yellow River's role as a moat separating Hexi from the Central Plains, and the state's control over Ningxia has been unprecedentedly strengthened, breaking the traditional geographical and political pattern, but also marks the initial results of Ningxia's industrial system.

Ningxia No. 3 Road can use its own resources, technology, workers, and equipment to carry out industrial production.

The iron bridge is the general design of the Royal Institute of Technology, of which the bridge structure designer is Chen Zhaoming and the barge designer is Shen Kuo.

The forging welding and riveting process used in the iron-hulled barge is also coated with wooden boards, wire mesh and dibutin glue to prevent water ingress.

The biggest feature of this bridge is that each barge is equipped with two iron masts, and there are holes in the top of the masts, which are connected with several steel cables to pull the bridge deck and increase the strength of the bridge deck.

This is the achievement of science and engineering mechanics, the traction bridge, the first time in front of the world.

The bridge deck is an iron frame made of angle iron riveting process, and thick wooden planks are laid on it, which can pass two four-wheeled carriages loaded with 3,000 catties at the same time.

Where the two ends of the bridge are docked, a traction suspension bridge structure is adopted, and the suspension bridge can be stowed away for the passage of ships.

However, this function is almost not used now, and there is no decent port above Lanzhou on the Yellow River, which is to make technical reserves for the future erection of the Xingluo pontoon bridge.

Later, the Longhai line, the starting point is Lanzhou, and then through Tianshui, Baoji, Xi'an, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Shangqiu, and finally to Lianyungang.

In fact, this line is also an important trunk line today, Tianshui is Qinzhou, and then along Weishui to Chang'an, and then along the Bianqu through Luoyang, Xingluocang, Zhengzhou, Bianjing, Chenliu, the route is almost identical.

However, after Chenliu has changed, because of the importance of Hebei, the trunk line has been adjusted upward, and the end point is Dengzhou in Jiaozhou Bay.

The only difference is that one is the railway, the other is the highway and the current Bianqu.

And in addition to Chang'an, the waterway traffic is not worse than the Longhai line in later generations.

The importance of this trunk line is undoubted, and now with the Yellow River iron pontoon bridge, this trunk line will continue to extend upwards until Shazhou, connecting to the Western Regions.

In July, the first Ningxia Material Trade Fair was held in Lanzhou.

The magnificent iron pontoon bridge of the Yellow River, standing majestically in the torrent, shocked the merchants who came here.

Su You also erected two iron lions at both ends of the iron bridge, because they were hollow, so they were huge in size and plated with copper.

Today, Lanzhou Iron Works has three large open hearth furnaces, 30,000 catties of sunrise steel, and there are enough materials for Su oil to waste.

The rolling Yellow River iron bridge is crossing, and four metal giants that are more spectacular than the Luoyang copper camel in the Han Dynasty are guarded, and countless people in Tibet see this scene that shows the majestic national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and they directly kneel down to the dust and bow down.

In addition to steel plants, cement plants, chemical plants, machinery plants, etc. were also established, and various machines and lathes were also produced.

Two batches of wool have been harvested, and Yixi Weishe sent people to the countryside with grain to send warmth, and the people of Ningxia were overjoyed, and finally realized the glory of being the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Under the great guidance of Iswickischer, sheep have become a valuable means of production that can be regenerated three times a year.

Xingzhou, Lanzhou, Liangzhou three woolen industry bases in succession, absorbing a large number of people as workers, producing felt, wool and wool.

The goods brought by the merchants were mainly jade, furs, jewelry, and spices.

The materials provided by the Great Song Dynasty were a large number of metal utensils, precious metal ornaments, cheap woolen wool, and various high-end deep-processed products such as crystal porcelain, glassware, fine wine, medicine, silk, and linen.

There are also the most popular iron pots and swords.

In addition to Lanzhou, Su You also sent cowhide rafts, carrying large quantities of goods plus table salt, down the river to bring warmth to Wuyuan at the top of the Hetao and the border of Yunnei Prefecture in Liao.
