Coming to Dinghai, it has been more than 2 months, from June of the fourth year of Qingli, gradually entering August, summer has passed, and the autumn wind is getting cooler day by day.

In addition to the steel mill and the railway, Zhao Xin put more thought on the adjustment of the Dinghai Navy, the huge manpower, coupled with the craftsmen recruited from the Daimyo's Mansion and the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the Dinghai Navy has become a large construction site.

The money was spent like flowing water, and even the officials in charge of the funds were a little dumbfounded.

Not every place, like the Daimyo's Mansion, not only has a lot of government allocation, but also its own revenue, which can support millions of dollars a year, what kind of place was the original Dinghai Navy, a small island on the border, at most only a few thousand people, but now, at least more than 350,000 people, sweating here.

The victims received from Huainan East Road, basically, have been in place, except for a small number of old, weak, sick and disabled, not suitable to go to sea by boat, temporarily settled near Haizhou and Hongze Lake, the rest, all to the Dinghai Navy, a total of about 270,000, which greatly surprised the expectations of Huainan East Road, they themselves thought that it might take a year or two, after all, such a huge number of victims.

In addition, there were nearly 80,000 laborers, some of whom were streamlined from the Daimyo Prefecture and the Smelting Division of Bianliang, and some of whom were craftsmen recruited from various places.

At any time, money can solve all problems, let alone the navy, as long as the basic raw material problem is solved, they can already be responsible for production, instead of a large number of shipments from outside.

The cement factory has expanded several times, and the special environment on the island, with two months to go, Zhao Xin has set up a series of fortresses on the Dinghai Navy to ensure their safety.

Although in later generations, the defense of the islands was even more difficult, and it was necessary to face possible attacks from various places, but in this era, all the great powers in the whole of East Asia had their eyes on the land, and the power at sea was almost none.

Otherwise, whether it was the Jin of the Northern Song Dynasty or the Mongolia of the Jin Dynasty, they could easily defeat the Southern Song Dynasty from land, but a Yangtze River and a sea barrier could withstand them for hundreds of years.

Yuan and Meng, also after destroying the Central Asian countries, obtained far more than the defense of this era, at the same time, in the hands of the Arabs, obtained a large number of maritime power, which broke through the defense of the Yangtze River and perished the Southern Song Dynasty.

In this sense, as long as you are careful, if you are only for your own use, the cement will not be lost.

In fact, the entire Dinghai Navy is very extravagant in the use of cement.

The difficulty of the cement itself is not great, and it is not a high-grade cement, but just a simple, responsible for the bonding of cement, which has appeared in the ancient Roman era, and those ancient buildings that are still very shocked are not difficult in that era.

Mix clay and lime in a certain proportion, add some shells, or volcanic rocks, these are already the recipes that have been explored, the Northern Song Dynasty has actually begun to produce a large number of them, and Han Qi in Longxi has also established at least 4 large-scale cement factories in Longxi, responsible for the production of cement and the construction of fortresses.

However, their production is more like the previous blacksmith workshop, their own production, at most there are a little more concentrated people, but Zhao Xin's side is a real industrial production, the efficiency has increased by more than 100 times, and the cost has been reduced to a considerable extent.

Take the cement of the cement plant now, in terms of cost, at most, it is one-tenth of the production of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a huge difference among the large-scale production products.

Of course, cement, a strategic material, can be produced by the navy and used for its own use, but it is not possible to sell it to the outside world, and there are special uses in the military, and its use in many aspects must be restricted, which Zhao Xin understands.

After his arrival, he began to gradually adjust, and the original houses built will gradually change, and in the end, the Dinghai Navy will be popularized into a small building of six or seven floors.

There is no way to do this, before Zhao Xin was no more, the person in charge spread out the residence, even if it was only 30,000 houses, more than 6,000 sets, but it covered an area of more than 1.2 million square meters, that is, 1.2 square kilometers.

It doesn't seem big, the entire Dinghai Navy, hundreds of square kilometers of land, this is really not big, but these are more than 8 people living in one house, when this expansion is 10 times, or even 20 times, the land suitable for the Dinghai Navy will not work.

With six floors, the total plot ratio will be expanded by more than three or four times, so that even if it grows to three or four million in the future, it will be within an acceptable range, and the residential area will be controlled below 100 square kilometers, which is the limit.

At present, the land that can be used and suitable for the main house is about 200 square kilometers, and one million can be demarcated, and the rest can be planned for light industry, commerce, and management areas, which is more in line with urban development.

The road has been planned, the houses have also risen one by one, and the cast-in-place houses have been built, although it is a little slower, but there are at least 2,000 buildings, and the main project has been completed, just waiting for the interior decoration.

However, the current house is a little weird, the glass has not been produced yet, and the original windows are still used for the time being, which is not suitable for the upper floors, but Zhao Xin really has no ability to develop the glass now.

In fact, the research of glass has already started in Miaojiazhuang, which is nothing more than mixing some raw materials such as quartz or synthetic quartz, and calcining them to turn sand into glass.

However, Zhao Xin somewhat underestimated this difficulty, after having a high-temperature thermometer, in fact, the temperature is no longer a problem, which can be seen from the newly established ceramic workshop.

Based on some skilled workers, the final construction of 4 large-scale ceramic kilns, they produce low-end and high-end ceramics respectively, at the precise temperature, not only the quality of the large-scale improvement, the yield rate and the probability of kiln change are also greatly reduced.

Under the premise that the kiln change is uncontrollable, no kiln owner is willing to change the kiln, every rare treasure, that is in thousands, or even tens of thousands of kiln changes, was born, although this rare treasure is precious, but compared with the cost of thousands of ordinary kilns, it is not a little bit worse.

Stable yield, excellent quality, coupled with the vision of industrialization, from all aspects of the deduction of costs, deduction of labor, new ceramic kiln, all aspects of consumption, at least reduced by seventy, the cost has also been greatly reduced, relying on the original steel daily necessities channel, soon, through the dealers, marketing in the world, has become an important source of income.

It is precisely with these daily necessities and these endless sources of cash that Zhao Xin has the ability to invest in large-scale construction, investing 5 million yuan at one time to promote the development of the navy in all aspects.

The five vertical and six horizontal trunk roads have been planned, and the planning of various branch lines, even the main house, has been integrated into the entire urban planning.

Even, Zhao Xin also took into account the dense population relationship in the future, and took the initiative to integrate the traffic command and trunk branch lines into it.

There is no electricity, no traffic lights, but it can be commanded by manpower, and a police force is set up first, responsible for managing the daily operation of the city.

Although there are no motor vehicles, in the future, under the performance of steel, bicycles will be required, and there will be some human-powered tricycles, etc., which will become the focus of travel compared to horse-drawn carriages, and vehicles that use fewer horses.

People in this era will not know how much effort Zhao Xin has spent in it, even if it is Tokyo Bianliang, a large city with an unprecedented million people in the world, their layout concept is still based on small cities, adding Fang City, adding some functional areas, and changing very little.

However, Zhao Xin started from the urban management of later generations, and took into account the future expansiveness.

For example, the relationship between trunk lines and branch lines has been directly mentioned to key places, and even some theories that have not been popularized on a large scale in later generations have been applied.

Reducing the number of neighborhoods, replacing them with separate buildings and taking a square block, most of the cities in later generations have adopted the four-sided road application method, so that the flow of people is dense, it is easy to form congestion, and bicycles and motor vehicles are mixed, and it is not safe.

In the block as a unit, at the intersection of the dead end, for the diagonal, on both sides of the trunk road, mainly for the driving of large motor vehicles, and the diagonal for the branch line, the diversion of pedestrians and a small number of bicycles, so that although the density of the road is increased, but a good diversion, and even to a certain extent, for pedestrians and bicycles, to some places, there are still some shortcuts.

On both sides of the branch line, there are some recreational, green spaces, sports facilities, and it is also convenient for the surrounding people to do physical exercise.

In fact, this is the solution proposed by experts after the emergence of urban syndrome in later generations, and some call for the demolition of the courtyard walls of the community, but urbanization has been formed, and thousands of cities have formed a fixed pattern, and it is very difficult to change.

For example, the Nanjing Bridge, a milestone in the construction of bridges in New China, but in fact, curbed the use of the Yangtze River waterway, and some radical experts proposed to blow up dozens of bridges on the Yangtze River, and the utilization efficiency of the Yangtze River waterway and the navigation benefits could be increased by at least 5 times, but unfortunately, the cost was too great, and no one dared to do it.

That is, Dingjun, such a blank piece of paper, a city from scratch, coupled with Zhao Xin's forward-looking vision, in the end, it contributed to all this, anyway, the drawings of the entire city were drawn by Zhao Xin, and they didn't understand it, just do it.
