Chapter 206: Serving the People
Thanks to the cement as a great weapon, the foundation of the fortress is made of concrete, and the solidity is unmatched in this era.
In order not to appear too abrupt, Huang Han still adopted the brick-clad structure of the Ming Dynasty in appearance.
In the eyes of outsiders, this small city is not tall, and it is also a brick structure, but there are many more concave and convex surfaces.
Huang Han gave the new city the well-known name "Tiger's Den", and at the same time, many skilled craftsmen would go to the "Tiger's Den" to make their home.
There are a number of newly built houses, all of which are blue brick houses made of cement instead of lime, and are estimated to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake.
Every household has a kang that burns coal for heating, and not only that, every household will have a honeycomb coal stove.
Newly built houses are designed with flues, and as long as they are used properly, the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning is minimal.
The honeycomb coal furnace is not complicated, it is relatively simple to manufacture, now this product has been relatively mature, the shell has iron and ceramic, and the same is true for the flue, the ceramic flue is more difficult to install, but compared with the iron flue, it has the advantage of being more corrosion-resistant.
The manufacture of honeycomb coal is simpler, the coal is mixed with a certain proportion of clay and then loaded and compacted with an iron mold, and then a honeycomb briquette is taken out, and the honeycomb coal used indoors must use anthracite, and the briquettes used to burn the kang can use bituminous coal.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, there are no sheltered houses and no coal for heating in the north, and I don't know how many displaced people will not survive the harsh winter.
Huang Han was glad that it was summer when the tide of displaced people broke out in Yongping Province, as long as they were given food, health control was strengthened, and no one was allowed to drink raw water, basically no one died easily.
In half a year, nearly 300,000 displaced people and local people participated in labor, a large number of bricks and tiles were produced, a lot of cement was sent to the construction site, and the steel produced by the steel plant became agricultural tools, construction tools, and even steel bars and honeycomb coal furnaces.
Therefore, before the arrival of the harsh winter, Huang Han was calm and calm, because the "Red Banner Army" system had been prepared for a long time, not only the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" and their families would spend the winter in warm houses, but also the local people and all the displaced people would not appear to die of freezing and starvation.
Most of the production would have stopped in the winter of the ancient north, how could the Huang Han from modern times make everyone hibernate? The coal in hand can be said to be inexhaustible, so that this winter is not cold and completely possible.
First of all, steel plants and coal mines will be in full production, and the labor required will not be less, and cement factories, brick kilns, wine workshops, and vermicelli workshops will not stop working.
The women-led quilt factories will continue to work, and with another two to three thousand women selling baked sweet potatoes and potato chips, the "Red Banner Army" system will basically have no idlers.
This is another win-win masterpiece, the common people get jobs and wages during the slack time, the economic conditions will be improved, Huang Han will get profits, consolidate the economic foundation to form a virtuous circle, and next year's strength will go to a higher level.
Craftsmen with crafts migrate to the "tiger's den" to work, of course, the treatment is very different from the homeless, several families of the homeless people squeeze into a small courtyard with a kitchen and toilet, ordinary craftsmen are exclusive, and the housing conditions of the master craftsmen are even better.
The work of migrating the displaced people was orderly, because Huang Han did not arrange for these people to rent land for farming, but also did not arrange for them to live in a house.
Without exception, these homeless people were not temporarily arranged to live in the homes of local people, and you can imagine how uncomfortable and even ridiculed they were.
Knowing that although they still shared the yard with other homeless people when they went to the "Tiger's Den" city, it was much bigger, and they could not only get jobs but also land rent, so the homeless people were happy to leave the already crowded Kaiping Town.
The "Tiger's Den" city will break ground again in the spring and start building more houses, because when building the city, the first consideration was to solve the imminent problem of the displaced people to survive the winter, and even the headquarters building of the "Red Banner Army" was not built.
It is estimated that in another year's construction, the first people to work in the city will have detached houses, and the planned streets will be lined with two- and three-story shops.
Huang Han will not give housing to anyone for free, everything will follow the market economy model, but he will not earn money for real estate development in the system, and the people in the system can buy housing in installments or rent it.
The selling price of the house is sufficient as long as the cost is calculated plus 1% of the profit, but if a foreign merchant wants to buy or rent a house and shop to do business, the price will be at least doubled.
There is no need to worry about the people who can't afford to buy a house and are reluctant to buy a house, because every family in the system can get a job opportunity and will get a reasonable remuneration.
The real estate of the "Tiger's Den" city does not allow for huge profits, on the contrary, due to centralized procurement and large-scale construction, the cost is saved, and the cost will be saved by one or two percent compared with the people's self-built houses.
According to the cost price of a price increase, the sale of commercial housing is close to free service for the people, although it is not profitable, but it will produce good social benefits, and it is also convenient for the overall planning of the city.
After Huang Han arranged the work, he took four of his relatives to the capital as soon as possible.
Although he set off a whole day late, it is estimated that the women pushing the roasted sweet potato stall car will not be able to get up fast, but Huang Han can be sure that he arrived in Beijing three days in advance.
He plans to use the three days to arrange the advertising of roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips, and strive to be able to sell by the time the salesperson arrives with the goods.
Huang Sifang had already been looking at the city gate when he got the news that the head of the family was about to enter Beijing, and he was surrounded by Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua, as well as a few Jinyi guards and eunuchs.
Huang Han's outstanding achievements during this period are simply unparalleled, but the trouble is not small.
Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for him, if this friend was a little more restrained, maybe they would have become generals and chief military officers, and now they are too talented to be guarded from the fourth grade.
Fang and Li were ready to take advantage of Huang Han's return to Jingshi to persuade this impulsive young man not to miss his good future because of some miscellaneous matters.
Old friends naturally warmed up when they met, and Huang Sifang invited everyone to the "Sifang Express" general number not far from Guangqumen.
The houses and facades here are ready-made, the area is not small, and the former owner used to be a chariot and horse dealership.
Due to bad luck, when he was delivering goods to his employer last winter, he encountered the Houjin army who suddenly entered the customs, and the last hundred or so donkey horse carts and dozens of men did not come back.
