Chapter 137 Power Plants and Steel Mills (Asking for Votes)
(Thanks to Long Lancao for the tip)
Wang Yue's bicycles were first equipped for the use of various management personnel, and because the streets and highways of the starting point city have been completed, the bicycles can be used in a big way.
The demonstrations of these people should be endless, and the points store has another hot-selling product, and the price of the bicycle is five taels. Only workers and their families who are registered with the Public Security Department and have a legitimate job in the starting city are eligible to purchase only one.
If bicycles are to be truly popularized, they must be localized. Now the introduction of bicycles is to facilitate the commuting of the majority of workers, saving their time, that is, saving Wang Yue's time.
The Credits Roll is now becoming a substitute for the Silver of the Beginning City. Wang Yue set up an exchange point in the city, the starting point of the city of silver coins to exchange points for two percentage points deducted from the fire consumption, other silver two exchange points for five percentage points, points for any silver two silver coins exchanged for no fire consumption, that is, one two for one tael.
Any items purchased here will only be charged with point coupons, and the shops on the ground floor of the residential buildings that will be built will only be able to trade with point coupons after they are opened. If you refuse to carry it out, you will be fined and expelled, and the people of our starting city are very rich and do not worry about coming here to do business.
The silver coins of the starting point city are of high purity, stamped and made, and the obverse is a vehicle pattern of the starting point city, and the reverse side is a chrysanthemum and other floral patterns, and there is a circle of fine serrations around the edge, so it is very exquisite. In order to prevent bad money from driving out good money, other silver taels were exchanged for silver coins in the starting city, and three percentage points of fire consumption were deducted.
The integral vouchers are printed on modern coinage paper and modern color plates, so there is no fear of being counterfeited at all. In order to adapt to people's habits, the front of the integral roll is printed with "Ming starting point silver round scroll". The denominations are fifty taels, twenty taels, ten taels, one tael, half taels, two cents, one penny, five cents, two cents, and one cent. One point corresponds to exactly one point.
With paper money, the establishment of a bank will be a matter of course.
Wang Yue thought it was very good, but he didn't know that it was illegal to mint coins privately in Daming, and he wanted to exterminate his family.
The land acquisition for several roads was coordinated by the Ministry of Households, and it was going well, and he just had to pay anyway. The highway construction is in charge of Zhou Lixin, a clever young man who learns everything quickly, and he has participated in the construction of almost every street in the starting city.
More than one million acres of cultivated land around the starting point city, near Shijingshan, and Miyun have been cultivated by tractors of all sizes, and upland rice, corn, and potatoes have been planted by the resettled people. The temptation of five acres of land for one person in the starting point city, as well as a subsidy of three coins of silver, is great to be exempted from all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Many of those people remained to engage in agriculture, which was more cost-effective than planting their own land.
After the war and the loss of people, the land in the surrounding counties of Jingshi was barren, and the land price plummeted, and Wang Yue began a new round of land acquisition.
Of course, the payment method is that grain is the most popular, and whether it will cause the price of grain to plummet, it is not Wang Yue's concern. The price of grain has fallen, and the people in the city are still the happiest.
"Are you crazy? What do you do by buying so much land? Zhang Ziyun is incomprehensible to Wang Yue's crazy behavior.
If it is a peacetime tun land, it is easy to understand, but now that there is war and drought, no matter how much land there is, if no one plants it, then the money will be wasted. So Zhang Ziyun felt that Wang Yue was a loser.
Wang Yue smiled and said: "Those lands are not worth much in other people's hands, but they are different in my hands." ”
Wang Yue plans to build a large farm and vegetable base first, with mechanized farming tools, reclamation and planting without worry, and the water source is provided by pressurized water wells in the fields. Agriculture is the foundation, food is not worried, in order to gather more people, with a large population, is big industry still far away?
He then asked Zhang Ziyun again: "Hasn't Hexiang come back yet?" ”
Zhang Ziyun complained: "She has been obsessed recently, she doesn't come back for lunch, and she doesn't come back before ten o'clock in the evening." That lab is amazing, but is it necessary? ”
"Oh, Hexiang's research spirit is admirable, and she will definitely be a top scientific and technological talent in the future. I wonder what happened to some of those assistants I gave her? I hope they can get something with Hexiang, then I will be relieved. Wang Yue said.
Zhang Ziyun rolled his eyes and said, "You really don't have anything light or heavy, both men and women are sent to her, can she be at ease?" ”
"It's good to get used to it, I'm short of talents now, all kinds of talents!" Wang Yue said with a smile.
An experimental center located in the southeast area of the starting point has been built, which is divided into physics laboratory and chemistry laboratory. Of course, it cannot be compared with the 21st century, and the Physics Laboratory in the starting city only includes the physics and electricity laboratories in the middle and high schools. The chemistry laboratory is also relatively rudimentary, mainly for students to conduct basic chemistry experiments.
It's all already amazing, and it's definitely the most professional and blackest technology experimental center in this time and space. The laboratory is a three-story building built of brick and stone structure, with tiled walls and tiled floors, which is transparent and clean, and such an environment is unimaginable for these Ming people.
It was here that He Xiang and more than 50 students studied, and through the knowledge of physics and chemistry, these people finally gradually understood the essence of all kinds of novelties in the starting point city.
Now Hexiang is mainly focusing on electrical engineering, learning electrical related knowledge through physical experiments and computer simulations.
The Shijingshan Industrial Base, which is under construction, will definitely give priority to electricity, and will mainly rely on high-power diesel generators before the power plant is put into operation.
Wang Yue has already gone to Shijingshan and got 40 2,000-kilowatt diesel generators, with a total installed capacity of 80,000 kilowatts, which is larger than the installed capacity of ordinary small power plants.
These generator sets will be installed in the power plant of the future and will be used as electricity for the industrial area before the thermal power plant is put into operation. There will be two types of power plants, the first of which will be a waste heat power plant with an installed capacity of two 25,000 kW units, using the high-temperature flue gas of steelmaking and coking. The other phase is two 300,000-unit pulverized coal furnace power plants.
Because the ready-made equipment is all in the new century, the smallest pulverized coal furnace is 300,000 units, and there may be overcapacity after it is put into operation, but there is no way, only to bite the bullet.
The same is true for steel-making plants, with an annual output of 500,000 tons per year, which will be five times the current national output of Daming. If Emperor Chongzhen knew about this, he would probably be scared directly. You must know that Daming is still pig iron wrought iron, and the crude steel produced by Shijingshan Steel Mill is crude steel.
Wang Yue can't help it, he still found this steelmaking equipment with great difficulty, and the Celestial Empire is ready to support the industrial construction of Africa and Indonesia. Who told us that the Celestial Empire now prohibits steel mills below one million tons?
