Chapter 133 Kiln Gang Planning

The meeting on the development plan of the kiln gang was held for three days, and all the middle-level and above cadres of the kiln gang attended the meeting. Whether it is the leaders of Lingshui Wharf or smelting plants, lime factories, kiln factories, etc., Zhang Zhimu asked to participate. Zhang Zhimu thought that these people would not only be able to express their different opinions when they came to such a meeting, but also a good education for them themselves, allowing them to feel the glorious future of Yaogang firsthand. It can also enhance their sense of ownership. The meeting also invited some other delegates, such as those who had made suggestions to Zhang Zhimu. There is also the person who proposed to Huang Yukun that he could kill a few more sheep to save feed, and so on. Lu Bingyi's students all enjoy the intermediate treatment of the kiln, and Xiao Hongyu and several of them enjoy the intermediate treatment of the actors also participated in the meeting. The meeting also invited some celebrities from the kiln to attend the meeting. Zhang Zhimu asked them to come here because he wanted to expand the influence of the kiln. These people are naturally honored to be invited to the kiln. After they went back, the propaganda effect was much better than that of the Yaogang people themselves.

The meeting was held in a large classroom in the middle school and was attended by more than 100 conference delegates. The delegates attending the meeting were seated according to the names on the seats, and each delegate had a glass of water on his table. From time to time, there are service staff to refill tea and water for the delegates.

The meeting was even more lively than Zhang Zhimu expected, and there were even heated debates on some issues.

The meeting was presided over by Li Zhi himself, Yang Yulin, Song Jiaxin, and Yang Qinglian were responsible for making meeting minutes on the stage, and the service on the stage was also responsible for Song Jiaxin and Yang Qinglian. The two beauties also attracted the attention of many male representatives, and this kind of knowledge-based beauty seems to attract the attention of men more.

Zhang Zhimu first made a speech, combining his kiln development outline with a large wall chart to introduce to the delegates of the meeting. Finally, Zhang Zhimu said: "Our kiln is now getting bigger and bigger, there will be more and more problems in the process of development, I will have a lot of unexpected things to rely on, before the meeting, several gentlemen of our kiln gang personally gave me a lot of good suggestions, and many places in my development outline have absorbed their suggestions." I hope that at this meeting, you will put forward your own opinions. I am not afraid of disagreements with me, and I assure everyone that if my opinion is wrong, I will accept the correct opinion. You can argue and debate different opinions. But there is a requirement, that is, no matter how you argue, you must be right about things and not people, because everyone here is here to discuss the development of Yaogang, all for the better development of Yaogang, in order to better build our common home. If there are different opinions, it is also necessary to explain the facts and reason. Zhang Zhimu's request behind him is very timely, because some issues are arguing, which is somewhat a**. But because of Zhang Zhimu's prior request, everyone was very restrained.

The discussion at the meeting became more and more intense, and in the end, no matter how big or small, they were all mixed up in the discussion. Zhang Zhimu knew that this was a channel that was not usually discussed and communicated, so he released it here. Zhang Zhimu knew that it was better to release it than to keep it in his heart.

There are a few suggestions put forward by everyone that impressed Zhang Zhimu very deeply.

One is that when Zhang Zhimu introduced that after the preliminary calculation of Mr. Lu Bingyi and Mr. Lu Chengxiang, the navigation project of the Xiaoling River would require 100,000 taels of silver, Tang Jingyao, who had been the governor of the river, stood up and put forward a different opinion. The last time he and Duan Jingzhong came to see Zhang Zhimu, he basically didn't speak, and his years of officialdom made it easy for him not to say much. He had been observing Zhang Zhimu, and when he felt that Zhang Zhimu was a person who could really listen to his advice, he felt that he might have a chance to use his talents.

So he will never miss such an opportunity to show himself.

Tang Jingyao said unhurriedly: "I don't think 100,000 taels of silver is not enough at all. For this Xiaolinghe project, I personally walked along the river to Lingshui Wharf. The channel of this Xiaoling River is very deep, and after the water is impounded, the water level is raised by one or two zhang without the need to build an embankment. However, there is a problem that the river is almost all the same width, which brings a problem: if there are more ships on the two lines, the ships will not be able to dock on the way, because in this case, it will affect the navigation of other ships. The solution is to widen the river at intervals to serve as a dock to avoid stopping ships or loading and unloading goods. In addition, the construction of the wharf in Yaogang was not counted, according to Mr. Zhang's introduction, the wharf should be located at the turn of the Xiaoling River. I have seen the situation there, where there is a lot of work to build a wharf, not to mention the widening of the entire river, and the construction of many vertical river forks as berths for goods and personnel. These constructions also cost money. I roughly estimated that it would take 200,000 taels of silver. ”

Regarding this opinion, Lu Chengxiang and Lu Bingyi respectively talked about their own views. Basically, I agree with Tang Jingyao's opinion that the river should be widened at an interval in the river for avoidance, and the construction of the wharf should also increase investment, but I disagree with the opinion that 200,000 taels of silver are needed.

Lu Chengxiang said: "The barrage of the Fen River is ready to be built on both sides of the dam body with stone cement joints to build the rammed earth in the middle of the dam body. We have already bought a quarry near the Lingshui Wharf, and the stones used to build the dam can be obtained nearby, and it doesn't cost much silver. We can produce the cement and steel used in dam construction. ”

But Tang Jingyao disagreed, saying that the steel and cement must be counted as silver, because these things can be exchanged for silver if the dam is not built.

In fact, the difference between Tang Jingyao and Lu Chengxiang's algorithm is here. The result of the controversy was that the project was budgeted at fifteen taels of silver, and it was used leniently and strictly.

Another question is whether a small city enclosed by a wall should be built for the defense of the kiln. One faction said that a small city must be built surrounded by walls, and that the loss of the last time could not be eaten.

The two factions argued, and finally Zhang Zhimu proposed his own solution. Zhang Zhimu's suggestion was to build a square circle tower with the high post of the kiln gang as the center, that is, the city wall that everyone suggested to build was replaced by a circle tower. This ring building is made of reinforced concrete skeleton and blue bricks, and it has been built into a five-story building, which can be used for office and other purposes. The windows are fitted with steel railings. When something happens, this building is the city wall. And every window can be a firing port. This ring building has two door openings, east and west, and pullable doors made of steel plates. The high-rise buildings outside the city can be independent castles, and they are not easy to capture, and they can be observed on the posts of the kiln gang, and they can rely on each other to support each other. The main thing is that our strategy should not be to stand up to the beating, but to fight the opponent who does not dare to attack. This small town is mainly home to important departments such as the head of government and finance.

As a result, Zhang Zhimu's opinion was accepted by everyone.

There is also the internal management problem of the kiln, first of all, the problem of wasting the big pot of rice for eating. At first, everyone agreed to give out meal tickets and meal tickets. Later, after arguing and arguing, it was decided to issue the internal currency of the kiln, which could be used for food, and the saved money could be exchanged for silver. And there is no time limit when you want to exchange it, and you can change it when you want to, and there is no handling fee when you exchange it at the same price as silver.

Some people applaud this method, because there are many people who put the monthly pocket money issued by the kiln on their bodies, because they do not have their own homes, and there is no other place to put them, it is very inconvenient.

And it can only be circulated in the shops inside the kiln, and if you don't go out of the kiln, as long as there is paper money.

Zhang Zhimu knows very well that after the implementation of this method, his significance is very huge. is as clear as Zhang Zhimu and Lu Chengxiang, he and Zhang Zhimu understand it as soon as they look at each other. In the future, more and more people will use Yaogang banknotes. Traders can trade paper money in the kiln, and when they leave the kiln, they can exchange it for silver and take it away. Slowly, the banknotes will be the currency in circulation. The key is to keep this banknote valuable, and ensuring credibility is the life of banknotes.

Fortunately, the ink is now easy to use, so with several special color formulas and encryption measures, it is unlikely that counterfeit banknotes will appear with the current technology. After the meeting, it is necessary to study the issue of printing and distributing banknotes of all denominations.

There is another question, which has also been determined after some debate. It is to issue a weekly newspaper of Yaogang. Those literati and old gentlemen advocated the use of classical Chinese, and they wanted to maintain the tradition, represented by Zhang Zhimu, who resolutely opposed it. In the end, the majority agreed to run the newspaper in the vernacular. First of all, this newspaper should be made a weekly newspaper, which will be published every seven days. Everyone didn't understand the meaning of the week and the week, Zhang Zhimu said: "This is something that has been implemented abroad, and in the future, we will have to take a day off for every six days of work and study." Seven days is a week, or a week. ”

Zhang Zhimu, who came from his previous life, knows the importance of public opinion, and with this newspaper, one can guide public opinion, and the other can also let everyone know the development and changes of the kiln through it and improve cohesion. It can also raise everyone's interest in learning culture, praise good people and things, and criticize those bad habits. If you don't agree on something, you can also discuss it in the newspaper. Therefore, we welcome your contributions.

In the end, Zhang Zhimu resolutely announced a decision that does not need to be discussed, that is, all girls in the kiln gang are not allowed to bind their feet, and there are kiln gangs who are willing to put their feet in the kiln gang will help, and they will also take paid leave and give subsidies. It was also announced that in the future, men and women in the kiln gang will be paid equally for equal work, and everyone will be equal.

Although some people oppose this decision in their hearts, seeing that Zhang Zhimu made the decision so resolutely, there is no way to oppose it. They knew that in fact, Zhang Zhimu didn't need to ask for their opinions on the matter of the kiln, and it was best for others not to object to the things he decided.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, such discussions were already a precedent for democracy. The sensation caused is really not small, that is, the several construction projects that are about to start in Yaogang have been sensational enough in the year of successive disasters.

According to Lu Chengxiang's suggestion, some work can be carried out in winter, such as digging earth and stones. As soon as the frozen layer is removed, the lower part can be excavated. In this way, the construction of the bridge across the Xiaoling River can start first. Zhang Zhimu suggested that the bridge should take care of two aspects of the bridge, one is to facilitate the car, the slope of the bridge should not be too steep, and the other is that the bridge should be driven under the bridge, and the bridge arch should not be too low. In this way, the bridge was built on the slope of the river bank to build two stone piers with cement joints, the bridge extended and lengthened on both banks, and the road along the embankment passed under the bridge, which was actually equal to the bridge became a bridge with three holes, one hole in the middle is for boats, and the other two holes are for people and horses. The pit foundations of the piers are now ready for excavation. Those young people who were idle and had nothing to do rushed to the construction site.

Lu Chengxiang looked at it and said that this was easy to do, and the drawings for building the wharf, Mr. Lu Ma Shan, drew it, and the amount of soil and rock excavation there was even greater. Barrage dams can also be excavated first, and it is best not to be idle.

Zhang Zhimu listened to Lu Chengxiang's report, and also felt that if he could do it in winter, he should not wait until the spring of next year. However, it is necessary to arrange the food and accommodation of the workers on the construction site, and they must not freeze and starve.

In this way, the entire construction of the kiln began ahead of schedule.

Tang Jingyao was arranged by Lu Chengxiang to be in charge of the Xiaolinghe project, and Duan Jingzhong was arranged to be in charge of the road repair project, and they were also equipped with a trained management team, where there were both financial personnel and technical personnel who could survey. Of course, the general technical director is still Mr. Lu Bingyi. The two men were mainly responsible for the management of the project, and for the convenience of their work, they were each given a four-wheeled glass carriage. The two who took office repeatedly said that they would do their best to die. It's no wonder that they could have such an opportunity to display themselves from a prisoner waiting for death, which they never dreamed of. However, they all put forward a request to bring a deputy, and Lu Chengxiang agreed without hesitation. Of course, they chose their own troubled brothers, the former officials who were imprisoned together.

However, Huang Yukun and Sister-in-law Xu's reaction to Zhang Zhimu made Zhang Zhimu's eyes light up. Yaogang has reserved some guest rooms for receiving guests who come to Yaogang to do business. However, many of the guests who had finished their errands came back in winter, and some of them still brought their families with them, and they were reluctant to leave as soon as they stayed. The people who participated in the kiln gang meeting this time had already ended a few days after the meeting, and there were a few people who had no intention of leaving. It turned out that it was the heating of the kiln that made them reluctant to leave. I didn't live in the heating room anymore on this cold day, and it was warm and comfortable. You can take a hot shower at night, they say, even in the palace, it's not so comfortable.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhimu said, "It seems that we have another opportunity to make money." Zhang Zhimu remembered the development of commercial housing in his previous life, if he used the comprehensive advantages of Yaogang to build a batch of commercial housing to attract rich people to move in a well-equipped community, then it would also be a big business. The arrival of these people will also bring more business opportunities.

Huang Yukun asked Zhang Zhimu: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "In the future, we will set aside a small area, build a number of houses, and provide heating, biogas, hot water and electricity, and sell them to those rich people who want to enjoy the winter happiness. Those who didn't come to Yaogang to buy a house were embarrassed to go to the street. ”

Huang Yukun and Sister-in-law Xu listened to Zhang Zhimu's words and bent over with laughter. Sister-in-law Xu said: "Mr. Zhang's words are too right, these rich people are like this, they may be reluctant to eat and wear, but they are definitely willing to spend money compared to others." Besides, those who live in the kiln in winter are really happy. In the past, even if my family was rich, it was not very sinful in winter, and it was terrible to choke on the smoke of the stove and the kang. Besides, you see that the one who lives and doesn't leave, that person is not a rich man. They know best how to enjoy it. The one who brought his dad will definitely be able to buy a house if he has it. If you have money to buy your own house, you will be able to honor your father. Why stay here and not leave? ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "We won't stay if we leave, but we must not go out if we don't leave." They live comfortably, and when they go back, they show off back, which is to promote it for us. Zhang Zhimu originally wanted to say that there was advertising, but after thinking about it, he had to explain what advertising was, so forget it.

Huang Yukun took out a finished zipper in his hand and said, "Lu Qi, the zipper they made is so good, I think it's stronger than the one on your pants." I discussed with Sister-in-law Xu and planned to set up a factory specializing in making clothing. First use this zipper to make a batch of leather clothes, with this zipper leather clothes are tighter and lighter, otherwise in order not to breathe, the left and right doors have to press each other a lot, and the clothes will be very bulky. We're among the newcomers. Pick out a couple of tailors and they all thought it was a good idea. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "It's a good idea, and it must be made into a high-quality product." Another great idea, I suggest you make long-legged leather boots. In the past, because long-legged leather boots were not easy to wear, they had to be made wide, not to mention the feet, and breathable. Wouldn't it be easier to do if there was a zipper? ”

Huang Yukun said: "That's right. Such long-legged leather boots are sure to be popular. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "You can also use zippers to make handbags. By the way, Li Jing's backpacks have all been changed to zippers. Think about it slowly, in the future, we will have to design our own military supplies, and zippers are indispensable. ”

Huang Yukun said: "By the way, this matter will be studied slowly. I'd suggest giving each of us a lock. So that your own things can be locked on their own. ”

After paying attention to Huang Yukun, Zhang Zhimu came to Li Yunhe and them again, and saw that Li Yunhe and they were busy designing a steam engine, Zhang Zhimu didn't want to disturb them, but Li Yunhe stopped and called Zhang Zhimu. Zhang Zhimu had no choice but to stop and said, "I didn't want to disturb your work. ”

Li Yunhe said: "It's okay, we've finished discussing it." As he spoke, he handed Zhang Zhimu a thin piece of iron. ”

Zhang Zhimu asked: "Is it the silicon steel sheet I want?" ”

Liu Yun said: "Yes, do you see if you are qualified?" I'll measure it to be less than a millimeter. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Great, put it all away." I'm going to use it right away. ”

Li Yunhe said: "We probably designed the steam engine, in order to produce such a thick transmission shaft, we also have to design a larger lathe, just a new steam engine for him." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "In the next few evenings, I will give you a lecture on hydraulic and pneumatic transmission, some beds can be driven by a steam engine through hydraulic and pneumatic transmission. A lot of problems are solved with hydraulics. In addition, Lu Qi's lock and zipper have been successful, and they have to arrange someone to take over the production. Free Lu Qi and them, I have a new task arrangement. ”

Li Yunhe said: "There is a new task. Fortunately, I trained the talent earlier, otherwise it would not have been enough. Rest assured, a workshop has been poured out specializing in the production of locks and zippers. The workers in our workshop have already used locks, this thing is really convenient, and we will definitely be able to earn a lot of silver back in the future. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "There is also a thing to earn silver, and the production is still simple. It is steel nails and iron nails, large and small. The small ones can be sold by the pound, and the large ones can be sold by the piece. This stuff will be in high demand. ”

Li Yunhe said: "Yes, there are ready-made wire drawing equipment, which can be made while it is hot, and someone can do it, and it doesn't take much technology to do this." I'll arrange this right away. ”

Leaving Li Yunhe, Zhang Zhimu came to find Lu Qi again, and Lu Qi said: "The two tasks assigned by Mr. Zhang have been completed. Training is now being given to the technicians and workers who will take over. There are ready-made things, and these people accept them very quickly. Some of them have already started to design smaller locks, and I should have no problem taking a look. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "I came to you today just to ask you to hand over your work quickly, and I have more important tasks to hand over to you." ”

Including Lu Qi, several people in his team were very happy when they heard that there was a more important task. They asked what were the more important tasks. Lu Qi said: "The work here is almost over, but if there is any question, we can come over at any time to help solve it." ”

Zhang Zhimu was very happy to see that these people were eager to fight, this is a group of people who like to challenge new difficulties, with these skilled craftsmen, many problems have been easy to solve.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Why did I give this task to you now, because this task is too arduous, and you must be mentally prepared for certain difficulties." I will also invite Lu Bingyi's disciples to participate in your tackling of key problems. ”

When these people heard Zhang Zhimu use the word "tackle", they felt that the task must be very heavy, but this aroused their interest. Lu Qi said: "Say it, Mr. Zhang." We brothers just want to do something rare. When they saw Li Yunhe and them building a large steam engine, they were very anxious and wanted to do something more difficult. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "I know that Lu Qi can make textile machines. But it's a manual loom, and I'm going to have you do a steam-powered automatic loom. Don't worry, take your time and think about whether it's a bit difficult. ”

Lu Qi and the others didn't expect that Zhang Zhimu would give them such a task. Lu Qi said: "We didn't expect to use steam power to drive the weaving machine, but I understand the principle of weaving. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "The basic principle of the loom, simply put, is that two sets of threads move back and forth to clamp another line, it should be said that two rows of threads move back and forth to clamp another line, the two rows of lines are combined into a cycle, and the other line is sent into the position twice to let the two rows of threads clamp, so that the weaving is getting longer and longer." The problem is that all of this has to be done synchronously and coordinatedly by machines, which is difficult. ”

Lu Qi said: "Everything is done by the machine itself, which is too difficult. We had never thought about it before. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "I can introduce you to the basic structure and principle of the rapier type textile machine. ”

Zhang Zhimu regretted it very much, he visited the textile factory several times in his previous life, and every time he went to see the excitement, he didn't carefully see what the textile machine was like. Just from the introduction of the worker, there is still a little impression, these days, with a little memory, Zhang Zhimu finally sketched out the general principle of the rapier textile machine in his brain.

This rapier textile machine uses a rapier instead of a shuttle to pass the weft back and forth. Such looms are divided into the following parts:

1. Opening

2. Weft insertion

3. Weft beating

4. Drop-off

5. Coiling
