Zhu Shun immediately arranged the bereavement of the members of the Self-Defense Forces, and then convened the ministers of each agency to begin preparations for the industrial city.

Zhu Shun was most concerned about the output of cement, and looked at Zhang Tao, the director of the Industrial Administration: "What is the daily output of the cement plant?" ”

Zhang Tao happened to have good news to tell Zhu Shun, and reported: "At the head of the meeting, several students from Beijing Normal University invented a new vertical kiln, and the output increased greatly through the vertical kiln method. ”

"The daily output of a vertical kiln has reached 20 tons, and the round kiln of the cement plant is currently being gradually rebuilt, and it is estimated that by the end of this month, it should be able to completely rebuild and achieve the goal of 10 vertical kilns."

"In this way, the daily output is 200 tons of cement, and the output value of 6,000 tons of cement in a month."

The emergence of the vertical kiln is indeed a surprise, the production capacity of cement has increased greatly, the cement fired by the round kiln in a day is only 4~5 tons, and the vertical kiln invented by the students of Beijing Normal University has directly increased the production capacity to 20 tons.

The industrial city is a concrete city composed entirely of wrought iron and cement, and concrete roads have to be paved, and the cement used is counted in tons of cement, and the monthly output of 6,000 tons is obviously not enough.

Zhu Shun gave Zhang Tao a new instruction: "30, at least 30 vertical kilns should be built, pushing the monthly output value of cement to nearly 20,000 tons." ”

The order of 30 vertical kilns made Zhang Tao embarrassed, not that he didn't want to expand the cement plant, but the construction of the cement plant was not too difficult.

But the construction of the cement plant is not only as simple as adding 20 vertical kilns, but also supporting facilities such as a steam limestone plant and a steam clay plant.

These supporting steam factories need a large number of steam machinery, and all kinds of steam machinery produced by the Beiping Machinery Bureau are lined up until the next year, and it is difficult to squeeze out a part of the steam machinery to build an ore steam factory.

Zhang Tao, as the director of the Industrial Bureau, needs a bowl of water to be level, so as to convince the public, even if a batch of steam machinery is forcibly requisitioned, the factory owners will definitely have resentment in their hearts, after all, they have already given the order.

Zhu Shun understood Zhang Tao's difficulties, and as the acting director of the Industrial Administration, he enjoyed so much power and treatment, so he had to assume the responsibility of allocating resources and concentrating construction.

How to solve the additional 20 vertical kilns, that is Zhang Tao's matter of the industrial administration, Zhu Shun only looks at the results.

The most important cement problem in the construction of an industrial city has set a goal, and the next step is the Infrastructure Department.

Zhu Shun looked at Li Zhouqiao, the only shy young man here with no hair on his mouth, and saw that the head of the meeting's gaze fell on him, Li Zhouqiao took a deep breath and stood up and walked to the middle of the main hall.

In the middle of the main hall is a wooden bracket, on which a wooden board is nailed, and Li Zhouqiao lays the green sandalwood in his hand on the wooden plank, which is a panorama of the industrial city.

At the moment when the drawings were rolled out, Li Zhouqiao was much more confident, and even began to be high-spirited: "The appearance of the entire industrial city is tic-tac-toe, which looks like a nine-square grid, and is divided into nine districts in total. ”

"The names are named according to their respective directions, the eastern district, the southeast district, the northeast district, etc., and each district is divided into a tic-tac-toe, forming a hutong street where the workers live, a total of 72 alleys."

"Each alley can accommodate 10,000 people without removing the shops such as wine shops, teahouses, vegetable markets, and silk villages."

10,000 people!

Except for Zhu Shun, who had a calm face, all the high-level executives of the industrial associations present looked at it intently, and looked at the city that looked small, but if it was really built successfully, it would be a four-level city.

There are seventy-two alleys, and 10,000 people live in the alleys every month, and the number of people living here in the Ming Dynasty has reached 720,000 on the surface.

By the time the industrial associations took control of the north of the Yellow River, there were definitely more than 720,000 people.

The houses built by the Infrastructure Department are all two-story cement houses with a small yard, and the plan is to live for three or four people, but there is no problem for more than ten people.

Such a huge industrial city will probably take twenty or thirty years to build.

Zhu Jin, who was teasing the thrush, put down the bird cage and asked a question: "There are tic-tac-toe characters in tic-tac-toe, it should be eighty-one alleys, why are there only seventy-two alleys?" ”

Li Zhouqiao knew that someone must ask this question, and replied with high spirits: "A perfect city of achievements cannot only have residences. ”

"There will also be schools, pharmacies, shopping streets and other buildings, as well as the white mansion of the workers' association, which will be moved into the middle of the tic-tac-toe."

Zhu Jin nodded as if he didn't understand, and said: "Then I want a garden, right in the center of the tic-tac-toe, and the kind with a fountain, which will be used to open the Xingyuan Opera Troupe in the industrial city in the future." ”

The Lizhou Bridge cannot be the master of this matter, and the Infrastructure Construction Department is only responsible for the construction, and how to build it in the end must be determined by the Strategic Department.

After introducing the grand plan of a million metropolises, Li Zhouqiao continued: "Since it is an industrial city, there must be something more in line with the identity of the steam capital. ”

"First of all, there is the waterworks, which are to lay cement pipes over the industrial city to supply water to the workers of the city."

"As for the construction of the waterworks, we have almost studied it, and it can be built after a while."

"Secondly, there must be new steam machinery such as biogas street lights, steam locomotives, and steam engine ships."

Flat, hard concrete roads are lined with steam locomotives, slowing down at each stop to carry workers rushing to the steam factory.

When night falls, the rows of biogas street lamps next to the cement road brighten up, illuminating the entire industrial city.

Workers who go home from work go to theaters, teahouses, wine shops and other places to enjoy the bustle and hustle and bustle after nightfall.

A large number of workers also gathered on the horse's head, ready to rush to the capital on steam engine ships with black smoke spewing out.

The high-level members of the industrial association are all looking forward to the scene depicted by Li Zhou Bridge, and they are eager to live in an industrial city that is more immortal than the fairy palace.

Instead of the dilapidated county seat of Daming, there are not a few merchant streets in the county, not to mention, and the brick houses and tile houses are dilapidated.

There is sewage flowing everywhere, and the people who are anxious can find a corner where no one is there and solve it anywhere, and the smell is terrible.

Especially on rainy days, there are only a few streets paved with green bricks, and most of the county is full of mud.

When the rain is a little heavier, it will pour into the mud house at home, not to mention, and it will wash feces and urine all over the house.

This is the case in the county and state cities of Daming, even Jingshi is no exception, needless to say about the outer city of Jingshi, all corners of the inner city are also stinky, and there is feces and urine everywhere.

So much so that there was a bitter smell in the well water.

The industrial city depicted by Lizhou Bridge is enough to make the executives of the industrial association feel like a fairy palace with its flat concrete roads, drainage systems, public toilets, and waterworks.

Not to mention that there are biogas street lights, steam locomotives, and steam engine ships, and in my lifetime, I can live in a county town that I have never seen before, and I will die without regrets.
