【0254 Construction in full swing】

The villagers knew that as long as they followed Wei Gongzi to do things, they would be able to eat.

As for the technical difficulty, since Wei Gongzi has promised to provide technical help, there is no panic.

Wei Gongzi will definitely provide technical support, otherwise, he will not be able to pass the review.

Weibao attaches great importance to the quality of the project.

The project is not just a package in the past, Wei Bao will also send people from the Quality Supervision Bureau to track and supervise, to meet the standards to accept, if there are violations in the construction process, unqualified places, immediately stopped, this is no joke.

It only took one morning for such a large system project to be contracted out, which is a speed that later generations could not imagine.

Although it was a bit sloppy and a bit child's play, Wei Bao himself was quite satisfied.

Because large projects cannot be completed overnight, the initial stage is excavation and foundation laying, which requires a lot of labor! You don't have to wait for a technician to be in place to get started.

The villagers also thought of this, and these early hard jobs were enough to satisfy them with food.

In Wei Bao's planning, the President's Mansion includes: an inner garden, an outer garden, a horticultural scenic spot, a European-style garden, a Chinese garden, an orchid pavilion and a fountain, and a Buddhist hall designed on the mountain.

Although Wei Bao believes in Buddhism, he does not go to the level of visiting in the morning and evening, but he doesn't know why, when designing the president's mansion, he would think that Wu Xuexia also believes in Buddhism.

Although he didn't plan to have anything to do with Wu Xuexia, Wei Bao didn't have much affection for Wu Xuexia, but he occasionally thought of her.

The outer garden has greenhouse potted plants and a rose garden, and the inner garden is a Chinese and Western garden, with rockery and strange stone landscaping, flowers and trees supporting silk to shade the sky, and under the bright sun, you can let it cool off!

You can also enjoy sitting on the floor and listening to the music, an informal musical feast full of birds singing.

The environment here is quiet, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the transportation is convenient, and it is indeed appropriate to choose this place as the president's mansion!

Surrounded by mountains, it will become an official residence for President Wei that needs to live for a long time, divided into mountains and flat land, and the planned construction area is between the mountain and flat land, next to the harbor.

No matter from a strategic point of view, or from an economic point of view, Weijiazhuang is a pearl in the north of China, but the biggest premise that President Wei has to face is that he must first gain a firm foothold before being eliminated.

It will be an exquisite garden with exquisite landscaping, insects and birds, and beautiful scenery, making it an excellent place for leisure and recreation.

The building area is divided into several areas from the outside to the inside: the inner garden and the main house; Potted greenhouses and rose gardens; Romantic and beautiful scenery in a Western-style garden; The Oriental garden features such as arched bridges, curved ponds, and flowing water in the Chinese garden make people feel like they are in ancient China.

They are all very distinctive buildings.

Outdoor gardens, football fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, large artificial lakes, large swimming pools, golf courses, amusement facilities, among them, President Wei has many modern entertainment concepts, which have been planned into the design.

No matter how weak the power in his hand is, this is his personal strength, and President Wei likes to watch this power gradually expand!

He believes that one day, this power will be overwhelming!

Let the heavens and the earth change color, and let the air condense for it.

The team of tens of thousands of people was fully launched, and almost all of them were employed, even if some people were unable to engage in heavy physical labor because they were young, old, or disabled, they were all resettled!

President Wei is a person who stresses humanity and attaches great importance to feelings, no matter how others treat him, he always faces the world with a positive, positive, sunny and positive attitude.

President Wei has no intention of becoming a Buddha, and only hopes to give a place that can be given with a meager strength, warmth and sunshine.

After a short period of literacy education, some people who were originally optimistic about the formal establishment entered the political committee and the management committee, and the number one person in the political committee and the management committee, without asking, was naturally President Wei.

The No. 2 person in the political committee is also President Wei, and all the political work is in the hands of President Wei alone.

The No. 2 person in the management committee is Luo Sanzi, and the No. 3 person is Fan Xiaolin.

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya's presidential secretariat is a supplement to President Wei's work, so it can also be considered that Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya are the second and third people in the political committee.

For such special institutions as the Statistics Agency and the Military Industry Agency. President Wei took a lot of thought, the Military Industry Administration must be subordinate to the military system, and the Statistics Bureau is also subordinate to the military system.

The number one person in the army is himself, and the Statistics Office has been given a lot of power, and Lin Wenbiao, who is in charge of the Statistics Office, is actually on an equal footing with Chang Wuye and Tan Madman, who are in charge of the management and construction of the army.

Chang Wuye's status is not low, but he mainly occupies the position in the form of President Wei's chief of staff, and in fact, it is Tan Madman who is responsible for building the army.

Is it to put Lin Wenbiao in front of the madman Tan, or to put the madman Tan in front of Lin Wenbiao?

Wei Bao finally put Madman Tan in front of Lin Wenbiao, and he himself had enough prestige to take charge of the military! All the backbones who entered the escort team were personally selected by him, although some of them were transferred from the original old Linzi Liuzi Gang, but they were also completely loyal to President Wei!

Because, Lao Linzi is a gang and has no political system, and President Wei's Tiandihui itself has the characteristics of party politics.

President Wei originally thought of directly using the XX Party, such a party name, but he felt that it was too sensitive, and there was no need, even if it was just called the Heaven and Earth Society, and if it was well managed, it was the same as the political party, and it had the same attribute and effect.

If it is not properly managed, no matter what party it is called, it will be a plate of loose sand, without a clear purpose, unable to form a management system, and it is useless to call it anything.

"Technician, what should I do?" Wei Bao asked Lin Wenbiao: "Where are the best technicians in Daming?" ”

"The best and skilled people in the Ming Dynasty must be in the Ministry of Imperial Works. Or people who have retired from the Ministry of Industry, there should be many such people around Zhili. These people are not hard to find. However, the Ministry of Industry should be regarded as a yamen with sufficient oil and water, but I am afraid that even those who have retired will not lack silver, and may not be willing to come to us. Lin Wenbiao said.

Wei Bao thought about it and felt that what Lin Wenbiao said was very reasonable, not only about silver, but also about a 'identity' problem, people used to be on an errand in the Ministry of Industry, and they ate imperial grain and were officials, and they were just a small people, why did people give up their family business, not be a big landlord, and go to work under you, a landlord?

At this level, Wei Bao deeply realized that only the signboard of the government, the signboard of the court, and the signboard of the country are the signboards of the iron-clad recruitment of talents, and other organizations do not have this advantage even if they are rich.

"Let's figure it out! In any yamen and institutions, there are always some people who are not good and dissatisfied, but there are people who are really talented and learned, and they cannot be promoted and reused, and they find ways to get such people. Wei Bao said.

Lin Wenbiao immediately agreed: "Yes, president!" ”

Wei Bao knew that Song Yingxing was an all-rounder and knew a little bit about everything, but as he had more contact with Song Yingxing, he knew that Song Yingxing, a Jiangxi scholar, was not omnipotent, after all, a person who was less than forty years old knew a wide range of things, and it was difficult to specialize. You can't count on him entirely.

Finding technical personnel from the Ministry of Industry who specialize in a certain aspect is more conducive to the strict control of project quality.

Song Yingxing devoted his life to the scientific investigation and research of agriculture and handicraft production, and collected a wealth of scientific materials; At the same time, his intellectual foresight made him a critical thinker of feudalism and the academic tradition of the Middle Ages.

Song Yingxing's writings and research areas cover different disciplines of natural sciences and humanities, and his most outstanding work, Heavenly Creations, has been hailed as "the encyclopedia of Chinese crafts in the 17th century".

His main contribution is that he summarized the knowledge of agricultural production and handicraft production that had appeared in China for thousands of years, and also summarized the technical experience, and made it systematic and organized, and then wrote a book to make it possible to pass it on.

Song Yingxing's books include agriculture and handicrafts, such as machinery, bricks, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, fire, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction, and other production techniques.

In agriculture, Song Yingxing made a detailed record of the whole production process of rice soaking, breeding, seedling rolling, and grass cultivation. For example, "wrap and a few days, frustrate its sprouts, sprinkle in the field, give birth to inches, and its name is the day of the seedlings." The seedlings are uprooted and planted on 30 days. The seedlings are expired, old and long, that is, planted in the mu, a few grains of grain, and the fruit is self-sufficient. At the same time, he also pointed out various problems that deserve attention in rice cultivation.

In terms of handicrafts, Song Yingxing tries to use quantitative methods, and when he describes the production process, he pays special attention to the quantitative relationship between raw material consumption and finished product recovery, and has a clear concept of quantity. When analyzing the seedling migration, Song Yingxing pointed out: "Where the seedlings produced by one acre of seedling field are for transplanting 25 acres", that is, the ratio of seedling field to Honda is 1:25 stone, which is an important ratio data that modern Jiangxi still follows. Song Yingxing made a preliminary explanation of the oil yield of various oils: "Where flax, castor beans, and camphor trees are worth 40 catties of oil per stone. The vegetable brigade gets twenty-seven pounds of oil per stone. Brassica gets thirty pounds of ...... per stone." The specific and accurate data description of oil crops has both theoretical significance and practical value.

In particular, the "Machinery" chapter describes in detail agricultural machinery and tools, including vertical shaft windmills, sugar carts, ox rope wheels, etc., which are of high scientific value.

Song Yingxing was the first scientist in the world to scientifically discuss zinc and copper-zinc alloys (brass). He made it clear that zinc was a new metal and for the first time documented how it was smelted. This is one of the important achievements in the history of ancient metal smelting in China. For a long time, China became the only country in the world that could smelt zinc on a large scale. Song Yingxing's method of refining brass with metal zinc instead of zinc compound (calamine) is the earliest record in human history of using copper and zinc to directly fuse two metals to obtain brass.

Song Yingxing paid attention to discovering the essence from general phenomena, and also made some achievements in natural science theory. They are embodied in biology, chemistry and physics.

He recorded the case of farmers cultivating new varieties of rice and barley in "Tiangong Kaiwu", studied the influence of soil, climate and cultivation methods on the changes of crop varieties, and noticed the mutation caused by the hybridization of different varieties of silkworm moths, and explained that through human efforts, the characteristics of animals and plants can be changed, and he came up with the scientific insight that "the soil veins vary from time to time, and the species are divided with water and soil", which advanced the understanding of ecological variation of ancient scientists in China and put forward a theoretical basis for the artificial cultivation of new varieties.

The movement of life is presented to human beings in an extremely complex form, and how many species came into being has long haunted people's minds. Song Yingxing took a big step forward in science in understanding this issue. When talking about the influence of soil slopes, climate, and Wei Pei methods on the changes of crop varieties, he said: "If rice loses water in ten days, the death period will come, and a kind of early rice will be conjured, and the one that is small but not sticky will be inserted in the high mountains, and it will be different." When talking about the cultivation of silkworm seeds, he pointed out: "If the white male is matched with the yellow female, the use will become a cocoon." "Today's Han family has an early male with a late female, and the illusion is a good seed, and it is different." Here, Song Yingxing is ashamed of the important scientific idea of species variation. In particular, it is worth pointing out that the species variation recorded by Song Yingxing seems to be caused by changes in the environment; Some result from the crossing of different breeds, which involves a deeper understanding of species variation. In this sense, Song Yingxing is one of the pioneers of the theory of biological evolution. It is no wonder that Darwin, a famous British biologist and the master of the idea of the evolutionary gun, took the relevant exposition in "Heavenly Creation" as an important example of his argument for the mutation and evolution of species.

In physics, the newly discovered book "On Qi and Gas" is an outstanding chapter on acoustics. Through the specific analysis of various sounds, Song Yingxing studied the occurrence and propagation laws of sound, and put forward the concept of sound is qi propagation.

In terms of chemistry, Song Yingxing analyzed the chemical properties of various non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, tin, lead and zinc, compared their activity, and proposed a method to separate or test the metals concerned by using the differences between them. Commenting on the separation of gold and silver, he pointed out: "Whoever sells gold ginseng and counterfeit ginseng is the only one who can enter the silver, and there is no hope for the remnant." If you want to go to the silver and store the gold, then the gold is beaten into thin slices and cut into pieces, each piece is coated with soil and mud, and the goose sand melts in the whirlpool, and the silver is sucked into the soil, so that the gold flows out to make a full color. Then put a little lead, and then into the Lin vortex, hook out the inner silver, and there is no centimeter in it. ”

Referring to the refining of mercury and sulfur (i.e., mercury sulfide), he pointed out: "For every catty of mercury, you get 14 taels of Zhu, and 3 taels and 5 coins for the second Zhu", and this increase is partly "born from sulfur". The analysis of the separation and compounding methods of these metals and compounds shows that Song Yingxing has paid great attention to a large number of chemical reactions. Recognize the relationship between the interaction of various material components in chemical reactions, as well as the relationship between various material components before and after chemical reactions, and have the idea of "conservation of mass".

Conservation of mass means that in any isolated system, no matter what changes or processes occur, the total mass of matter remains unchanged. In the history of science, people's understanding of the conservation of mass has gone through a long time, and was later established by the famous French chemist Lavoisier in the study of combustion processes. This was already in the second half of the 18th century. However, Song Ying first glimpsed the profound mystery of the movement of this substance in the analysis of the method of separation of gold and silver, in the preparation of mercury sulfide, although his understanding is not as coarse as the latter, but after all, it is more than 100 years earlier than the latter.

"The work of making banknotes is given to Song Yingxing to be fully responsible!" Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao: "We must train him as our own chief engineer, try to keep him, and let him turn his heart to Weijiazhuang." ”

The reason why Wei Bao said this is because he is also a southerner, and he knows very well that it is not easy for southerners to live in the north, and it is very troublesome to adapt to the climate, food, culture, and habits in all aspects. Moreover, Song Yingxing's family is also a wealthy man in Jiangxi, and he is not short of silver, but he was stranded in Beijing to take the imperial examination, and he was unwilling to write home to get money, so he was recruited by himself.

"Don't worry, son, I think Song Yingxing is doing well with us, he is in charge and has a very high status." Lin Wenbiao said: "I will let a special person spy on him, and once there is anything, he will be the first to know." ”

Wei Bao nodded, he was still satisfied with Lin Wenbiao's work.

The technical staff is not in place, but the normal work cannot be delayed.

Although at the beginning most of the excavation is shallow excavation, laying the foundation work.

But digging sand in the river, digging sand on the seaside, building river embankments, seawalls, and building port wharves, all have to work in the water, which is not easy for people in this era! Because there are only a few small fishing boats in this area, not even large boats, let alone modern professional engineering boats.

The construction of a reservoir requires damming, both upstream and downstream, and the excavation of tributaries to divert water from the dams upstream.

Then it is to organize manpower to desilt and dredge the river.

It is the confluence of several large rivers and is not easy.

Reservoirs are hydraulic structures that hold back and store water and regulate the flow of water, which can be used for irrigation, power generation, flood control and fish farming. An artificial lake formed by the construction of a barrage at the mouth of a ravine or river.

After the completion of the reservoir, it can play the role of flood control, water storage and irrigation, water supply, power generation, fish farming and so on. Sometimes natural lakes are also called reservoirs, natural reservoirs. The size of the reservoir is usually divided according to the size of the reservoir capacity, which is divided into small, medium, large, etc.

What President Wei asked for was the construction of two large reservoirs! Either he will not do it, or if he does, he will permanently solve the problem of frequent droughts and floods in this area.

Anyway, when Wei Baolai was traveling, he saw that this piece was a smooth road, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and patches of green food crops, which were beautiful, and he didn't believe that he couldn't achieve these achievements in his own hands.

In the upstream of the flood control area, a comprehensive utilization reservoir capable of regulating and storing flood water should be built at appropriate locations, and the reservoir capacity should be used to hold back and store floodwater, reduce the peak flow of flood water entering the downstream river, and achieve the purpose of reducing and reducing flood disasters. There are two different ways for reservoirs to regulate floods, one is for flood detention and the other is for flood storage. Flood detention is the temporary retention of flood water in a reservoir. When there is no gate control on the spillway of the reservoir, and the reservoir storage level is level with the elevation of the spillway weir crest, the reservoir can only play the role of temporary flood retention.

In the case that there is no sluice gate in the spillway, in the stage of reservoir management and operation, if the water level of the reservoir can be lowered to the limit water level of the reservoir before the flood season, and the restricted water level of the reservoir is lower than the elevation of the crest of the spillway weir, the storage capacity between the limited water level and the elevation of the crest of the spillway weir can play a role in flood storage. A portion of the flood water stored in the reservoir can be used in a planned way during the dry season.

When the spillway is equipped with a sluice gate, the reservoir can play a greater role in flood storage, and the reservoir can adjust the amount of discharge by changing the opening degree of the sluice gate. Due to the gate control, the flood control limit water level of this kind of reservoir can be higher than the top of the spillway weir, and the opening degree of the gate can be adjusted at any time during the flood discharge process to control the discharge flow, which has the dual role of flood detention and flood storage.

The precipitation that falls on the ground of the river basin and partially seeps into the ground, and the water that is discharged into the river channel from the ground and underground in different ways is called river runoff.

Due to the variable and non-repetitive nature of river runoff, the water flow varies greatly from year to year, season to season, and region. Most water-using sectors, such as irrigation, power generation, water supply, shipping, etc., require relatively fixed quantities and times of water use, and their requirements are often not fully compatible with natural water sources.

In order to solve the problem of redistribution of runoff in time and space, to fully develop and utilize water resources, and to adapt them to the requirements of the water-using sector, some reservoir projects are often built on rivers. The beneficial function of the reservoir is to regulate the runoff, store and replenish the flood, so that the natural water can better meet the requirements of the water use department in time and space.

The joint-stock business company spontaneously established by the villagers in charge of the construction of the reservoir has reached more than 300 people, although it is far from enough, but it is possible to do some preliminary work.

Because there are no large wooden boats, Wei Bao is especially built by people!

The imperial court forbids the sea, and the main prohibition is to go to sea trade! In fact, no one said anything about fishing in the offshore waters, and fishing in this era relied on manual work, so there was no possibility of large fishing boats.

But now with the technology to build a steam engine, all this is no longer a problem!

It's time to develop large steam galleons!

In fact, the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty at this time was still first-class in the world, although it had lagged behind several emerging countries in Europe in terms of artillery manufacturing technology, which were mainly engaged in pirate trade and asked for money from the sea. But in the area of shipbuilding, the Chinese have always had an advantage!

In particular, Wei Bao was ahead of the world for more than a century and was the first to come up with the steam engine!

Wei Bao believes that even if he doesn't have to do anything, just having a steam engine can make Huaguo's maritime shipbuilding technology continue to maintain the world's leading position!

Because the steam engine can give people the concept of 'mechanics', whether it is physics or chemistry, in fact, it is the development of various mechanics!

The biggest advantage of the integrated project is to save manpower, and the excavated earthwork can be used to build dams, and can also be used to make cement bricks and adobe bricks.

While the construction is in full swing, spring ploughing has also begun!

Actually, because of the cold in the north, it is not yet time for large-scale spring ploughing, but Wei Bao has brought a lot of cold-tolerant high-yield crops, and a large number of seeds have been cultivated a while ago, so this is not a big problem.

The excavation of aqueducts and drainage canals was carried out at the same time as land reclamation, artificial sowing, and irrigation.

Wei Bao had dinner, accompanied by Wang Qiuya, and went out for a walk.

"Mother, haven't you eaten yet?" Wei Bao saw Huang Ying walking back and asked curiously.

"Now that I'm back to eat, your father is still in the field, and he can't come back when he shouts, and he follows the devil." Huang Ying complained with a smile. You can see that she is tired, but she is happy.

No matter how great the current grain pressure is, it is predictable that a large-scale harvest will be expected in a few months after a large-scale clearing and sowing of wasteland.

"Just plant it, plant one season in the first half of this year, and plant another season in the second half of the year, pay attention to the selection of good seeds." Wei Bao Road.

Huang Ying glanced at Wei Bao, "Do you want to teach?" When it comes to farming, Mommy and Dad know more than you do. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "That's." ”

He is three knives for industrial construction, and for agricultural construction, he is purely illiterate, and he does not even have a specific concept, anyway, the seeds have been handed over, and as for what can be developed in the future, he can only rely on these local villagers, and he still trusts the team of the Agricultural Bureau selected by himself.

There is still one day left to go to Shanhaiguan.

Wei Bao's time was very tight, and during the walk, he mentioned to Wang Qiuya the work of improving the organizational structure of the management committee, and asked her to discuss with Xu Rui, Luo Sanzi, Fan Xiaolin, and a few more people to settle down the whole team as soon as possible!

It's okay not to be out of work, but it's time for the team members, the organization, to get it out.

As the boss, Wei Bao's main job is to give orders, propose what to do, and then go to see how his subordinates are doing? He is only responsible for the beginning and the ending. As for the completion process in the middle, it mainly depends on his subordinates, unless he really has a certain understanding of these aspects and has a certain degree of certainty, he will not be able to shake his hands. Otherwise, there is generally a non-interventionist attitude.

"The Secretariat of the Chairman, the Industrial Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Science and Technology Bureau, the Military Industry Administration, the Public Security Bureau, the Supervision Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Justice Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Personnel Bureau, the Labor and Social Security Bureau, the Land Resources Bureau, the Construction Bureau, the Railway Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Cultural Bureau, the Health Bureau, the Heaven and Earth Ticket Number, and the Heaven and Earth Silver Number." Wei Bao said to Wang Qiuya.

Wang Qiuya snorted, and wrote down everything Wei Bao said in a small notebook. She and Xu Rui have both developed a habit of always remembering what Wei Gongzi said and writing it down first. Otherwise, if something is wrong, they can't afford to be guilty, and most of the things of Wei Gongzi and President Wei are major events related to the overall situation.

can manage a team of more than 10,000 people, landlords of this level, even if you look at the entire Ming Dynasty, are rare! What's more, the land controlled by Wei Bao has already ranked among the first-class big landowners in the Ming Dynasty!

It's just that Liaoxi is located in a desolate place, and in this kind of place, even if there is a big land, not many people will pay attention to it and it will not cause much sensation. If it is a big landlord with such a large land in Nanzhili and around Jinling, it will definitely shake the world.
