Wang Shengrong, Yan Han, He Yan, and others rested for half a month, and then left Guangzhou City and returned to the headquarters of the group army.

Half a month's vacation is not short, in fact, it can be longer, but there is no need for this, for the time being, the People's Army and the Ming Court will not go to war, and it is enough to take a vacation once in a while.

Wang Shengrong, Yan Han, He Yan, and others still have one more thing to deal with when they return to the army, that is, the matter of the military restructuring, and after the army is restructured, it will be more convenient for the army commanders to command the army.

In the event of a small or medium-sized battle, it is sufficient to send a division directly, and there is no need to mix firearms units, advance troops, and grenadier units in advance.

After Wang Shengrong, Yan Han, He Yan and others left, a very important but relatively small event occurred in the city of Guangzhou, and the People's Military Government issued a circular stating that all businessmen who were interested in cement would attend a meeting of the People's Military Government on time the day after tomorrow.

In response to this notice, businessmen have a lot of discussions.

"I heard that the People's Army is going to hand over this cement method to us, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"According to the grapevine, the People's Army will use a lot of cement, and as long as we make cement, the People's Army will buy it and make a lot of money."

"This cement is very interesting, the cement road is smooth, and I want to make a cement road in my own home."

……

Businessmen who felt that cement could make money, businessmen who were interested in cement, and even some landlords who no longer had much land in their hands but had a lot of money, were all interested in cement and were ready to attend meetings of the people's military government.

Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin are no exception, they get more information, know the importance of cement to the people's military government, as long as the cement is produced, there is no need to worry about no buyers, the people's army can buy it all, it is a good opportunity to make money.

Indeed, the People's Army needs to use cement in many places, such as building roads, water conservancy facilities, building houses, and so on.

For example, cement bricks, the original bricks and stones need to be calcined at high temperatures, but cement bricks do not need to be used, slag, sand, etc. are used as the main raw materials, and cement is used as a coagulant, and cement bricks have the advantages of high hardness and fast production.

The KPA already has a number of major plans underway, such as the construction of water conservancy facilities in various parts of the country, and the use of concrete roads to connect all the cities under its rule.

The importance of water conservancy facilities is well known, in the event of drought, floods and other disasters, crops will be reduced or even harvested, if there are hydraulic facilities, such as reservoirs, when drought can be transported from the reservoir to irrigate the fields, crops will still be reduced, but the yield will be reduced a lot.

It can be said that water conservancy facilities are a good guarantee for the annual crop yield, and even the common people have spontaneously participated in the construction of water conservancy facilities.

After all, there are previous official roads, which are composed of dirt roads and gravel roads, at least they can pass vehicles, and they are not unusable, and it is a waste of manpower and money to change to cement roads.

However, if you think about it carefully, the significance of the cement road is extraordinary, no matter how the previous official road is repaired, it is inevitable to encounter potholes, and it is also very muddy and troublesome to pass on rainy days.

What's more, the current carriage does not have such a thing as a shock absorber, and when encountering potholes on the official road, it is a torture for the people sitting on the car, if the car transports fragile items, even if some shockproof measures are done, it will be easy to break, porcelain, eggs, etc. are fragile items.

In addition, horse-drawn carriages are undoubtedly faster on flat concrete roads than dirt roads and gravel roads, and time is money, which is very important for both business and military.

"If you want to get rich, build roads." Under the influence of various factors, Fang Nancai made up his mind to build cement roads on a large scale.

Now is the stage when the People's Army Government has the richest money, and all the money of the People's Army comes from the large families that occupied Guangdong and confiscated it, and this money is enough for the People's Army to develop and use for several years.

The richest people under the Ming court were not the Ming court, but the larger number of landlords and merchants, who harvested their wealth enough to support the development of the people's army.

However, this money must be used in important places, and it can bring rich returns to the people's military government in the future, and the cement road is one of them, and the more commercial taxes the people's army collects for commercial development.

Soon, two days passed, and many businessmen in Guangzhou gathered in a conference room of the People's Military Government, and the meeting was presided over by Wang Mu, Minister of Industry.

Seeing the young Wang Mu, none of the businessmen dared to despise him, they all knew that the top leaders of the People's Army were a group of young people, and it was such a group of young people who constantly defeated the Ming court and successfully occupied Guangdong.

When they were young, no one dared to say that they could do this, maybe not even a tenth.

On the main seat, Wang Mu said: "Welcome to the meeting, everyone here is interested in cement, cement is very important to our people's military government."

Everyone has also seen that the cement roads built with cement are much better than dirt roads and cement roads, and even not worse than brick and stone roads, and the most important thing is that the cost of cement roads is not high, and our people's military government intends to use cement roads to replace the official roads built by the Ming court, not only cement roads, but also a large amount of cement ...... built by our people's military government in various places to build water conservancy facilities."

After Wang Mu's words, he mainly showed the importance of cement to the people's military government, the more the merrier, and then Wang Mu talked about the use of cement in other places, such as building houses, building cement roads in personal homes, highlighting the convenience of cement.

In the end, Wang Mucai said: "Our people's military government has a great demand for cement, and I learned that some people are interested in cement, so I asked the metropolitan governor for instructions to hand over the cement technology to capable people, and go to various places to open cement plants. ”

Hearing Wang Mu's words, no one in the conference room wanted to leave, they came here not only for interest, but more importantly to make money.

This is doing business with the people's military government, which is equivalent to "imperial merchants", the imperial merchants of the Ming Dynasty made a lot of silver, and there were not many powerful people who dared to bully, of course, to be able to become an imperial businessman, indicating that its background is not ordinary.

In general, it is the imperial businessmen who can make money, and they want to become the "imperial merchants" of the People's Army, with such an identity on their bodies, they also have advantages in other industries.

However, the businessmen in the conference room must have thought too much, and the KPA would not buy the cement produced by the cement factories opened by these merchants at a price lower than the cost price, but they would definitely not make much money from the KPA.
