Chapter 22 New Construction The General Army Visits

Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He discussed for a while the issue of army building and personnel arrangements for the main officers of the army, and when they left Zhang Zhimu's office, it was already very late. The three of them had just come to the door, and the bell of "Dangdang" sounded from the direction of the square, which turned out to be the big clock on the top of the station and began to tell the time.

Zhang Zhimu and the three of them stood on the guard and looked in the direction of the station, and they could see the flashing lights on the bell tower from a distance. In order to take care of people's viewing at night, the clock installed a calcium carbide lamp on each side of the bell, and used a glass reflector to reflect the light onto the clock face.

Several main roads of the kiln gang have been set up with a lot of street lights, and with a number of buildings, it seems that the whole kiln gang is in the night, which is brilliant and a little domineering.

Looking at the night of Yan Shan, Chen Yufeng said something very emotional: "You don't need to talk much, the people of Yaogang will come out to defend their homes desperately." ”

"It won't be long before we have lights on in every house. At that time, our kiln was really a city that never sleeps. Zhang Zhimu imagined the scene when the electric lights were lit everywhere. However, at this moment, Zhang Zhimu is still thinking about a question in his heart, this kiln gang was originally a place where there were several families and were poor, but because of his arrival, it suddenly became an extremely special place with a lot of advanced technology and advanced economic development. How much of a contribution can this play in the development of history? Although Li Zicheng did not occupy Kaifeng in the end, he still occupied most of Henan according to the original historical trajectory, and then occupied the vast part of Hu, and directly developed his power to the north bank of the Yangtze River. According to the original historical trajectory, after occupying Shaanxi, next year, when the Yellow River and Fenhe River were not civilized, Li Zicheng led hundreds of thousands of troops to sweep Shanxi. At that time, Zhang Zhimu was confident that he would lead the kiln gang people to block Li Zicheng and hold the kiln gang. But can we make changes to the next step in history? At this juncture of history, how much effect can such a little change play in the development of history?

All this can only be tested by time.

Zhang Zhimu attaches great importance to this kiln gang cadre meeting, this is the last such meeting before the end of the year. For the afternoon meeting, several giants in Yaogang held a meeting in advance to exchange views on some things and unify their thoughts.

At this meeting, the leaders of all units distributed in the kiln gang came back to attend the meeting as instructed. The meeting was held in the large classroom of Yaogang Middle School.

The leaders of all units made work reports respectively. At first, the leaders were not used to speaking in front of people. But Zhang Zhimu will use questions to guide them to finish their words. Slowly, everyone will be natural.

Now the smelting yard is developing rapidly, and there are more than 13,000 prisoners, prisoners and workers. Four large blast furnaces have been newly built and four top blowing steelmaking furnaces have been built. Six small blast furnaces were stopped. Now the semi-automatic production line of longitudinal seam pipe has been produced, and the rail has been successfully rolled. There are two problems now, one is that the transportation problem greatly restricts the production of steel mills; The other is that there are too many men in the smelter, and I hope that the company can send some women. Now the conditions of the workers are good, and they all have silver, but they can't marry a daughter-in-law. When Li Dong talked about the second thing, everyone burst into laughter.

But Zhang Zhimu didn't smile and asked: "How is the dormitory of the workers in the smelting yard built, if the workers marry a daughter-in-law, do they have a place to live?" ”

Li Dong replied: "We are also the same as Yaogang here, we have been building houses constantly, but we can't guarantee that every worker who marries a daughter-in-law will have a house." The house has to be built slowly. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "In this way, if you can guarantee to arrange a marriage room for a worker, we will find a way to introduce you to a daughter-in-law." ”

Zhang Zhimu said to Huang Yukun and Sister-in-law Xu, who attended the meeting: "The living conditions in our kiln are so good, I want to marry a daughter-in-law outside, it shouldn't be a difficult thing." I'll leave it to you. ”

Sister-in-law Xu said: "It's no problem to marry a daughter-in-law from the outside, but the women of our kiln gang have a high vision." "Yaogang Weekly" called on everyone to fall in love freely, I don't think there is a need to call for it, everyone has already started to fall in love. We also have a problem on this side. There are quite a few people who have proposed to us to get married. I'm going to talk about it this time, so let's talk about it now. ”

Zhang Zhimu asked: "How many new houses do we have?" ”

Liu Benqi stood up and said: "A while ago this year, the main focus was to protect our key construction projects, and these key projects are almost ready to start large-scale residential construction. There are 840 units of three-bedroom and 1-living room and 1,680 units of two-bedroom apartment. By the end of the year, there will be more than 200 sets of Tonhouse, and more than 50 single-family buildings. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "In this way, we will take care of those who are married, both men and women work in the kiln, and if they get married, they can be given priority to give them a house, and those who get married in the kiln gang must register their marriage in our kiln." Huang Yukun: You also need to set up a marriage registry office, which is also responsible for relocating housing according to the situation. Remember, both men and women must be over 18 years of age to register for marriage, and close relatives are not allowed to marry. ”

Zhang Zhimu's words caused a whisper below. Zhang Zhimu didn't explain again.

Huang Yukun said: "This is a good thing, those of us who have long been on good terms, especially those who have been on good terms in times of trouble, should have had a home a long time ago." However, you must also know that many of our workers do not live in very good conditions, and they will occupy a two-bedroom house when they get married. How many people can be arranged? ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "We still have too few houses. I have an idea. Li Dong, you can also use the factory method to build a house, the floor slabs of the houses you build are now made upside down with a one-time template bracket, I think your floor slabs can be mass-produced in the factory, and then transported to the house site to be hoisted. A lot of cement parts can be prefabricated, so that your permission to build a house will be greatly improved, do you say yes? ”

Liu Benqi said: "Mr. Zhang, your method is too good. When I went back, I set up a prefabricated parts factory. Because our homes are basically the same structure, the quality of the prefabricated structural parts in the factory may be better. In fact, we can also use this method in other buildings, and the construction efficiency will be improved a lot. ”

Fan Chengkun said: "More than 2,000 full-time dock workers have been recruited on the Lingshui Wharf, and now the Lingshui Wharf is the wharf with the largest loading and unloading capacity among the wharves on the entire Fen River. Because it is close to the kiln, it is convenient to do anything, passenger and freight transportation, and it is also convenient to settle silver. So there are more and more boats here. Some ships have to wait at the dock to load and unload. Considering that after the impoundment of the Xiaoling River, many small boats will divert to the kiln gang, and we have not expanded the wharf there. Our more than 2,000 dock workers are young and strong, and they have long been trained in the military. We now manage more than 15,000 people, young and old. I suggest that we also build a school at Lingshui Wharf so that our children can go to school nearby. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Commander Fan's suggestion, I think it is right, there are many children at Lingshui Wharf who go to school in Yaogang, but it is inconvenient. We will implement the school as soon as part of the following work. ”

Then, the local leaders reported on their work. There are already three small kilns and three large kilns on the lime kiln, and they are burning cement every day. The lime is no longer burned, and the lime used is basically purchased from outside. There are already more than 500 people in the lime kiln.

The largest expansion was the brick and tile factory, which had more than 2,000 people on the side, almost tenfold in size. Even so, it is not enough to meet the needs of kiln construction, and almost all the nearby brick and tile factories in Shanxi are producing bricks and tiles for kilns.

There were also more than 800 people at the quarry.

The construction of Yaogang here is all focused on guaranteeing, and it is also being delivered one after another. The use of the newly built passenger station is the most concerned, as it is the window for entering and exiting the kiln every day. The entire waiting and ticketing halls are paved with marble floors, and the steps in and out are also made of marble, thanks to Li Yunhe's stone cutter. After the marble is cut, polish it and throw it away.

The station can be said to be magnificent. In particular, the bell tower on the top of the station is even more talked about. Every time a punctual time comes, the bell will ring the corresponding bell according to this number of times. The loud, low chime will be heard far away.

The Yaogang Wharf Passenger Station has also been built and is waiting to open. Rows of berths have been built at the wharf of Yaogang, waiting for the arrival of the ship.

The central circle building of Yaogang has been completed, and it is being illuminated outside with green bricks.

The five-story building of the Yaogang Circle Building, which is almost the same as Yangzhou, has been completed and the interior decoration is being carried out.

Most of the road construction work has been completed, and more than half of the personnel can be withdrawn.

All the previously planned work was completed according to the plan or ahead of schedule, and the kiln people showed great enthusiasm in the process of participating in the construction.

Lu Bingyi's report made Zhang Zhimu and everyone very encouraged, especially he said: "Our kiln this year's agricultural output can be very considerable, although the spring was affected by the locust plague, but because of our good management in the later stage, watered several times, and applied ammonium chloride fertilizer, the crops recovered very well, and it is foreseeable that this year's harvest is good." ”

Although Yaogang bought a lot of grain from outside, it was not the grain produced in his own land after all. I was uneasy that I couldn't produce grain in my own field, so Lu Bingyi's words made everyone very excited. I'm wondering if this successive years of disasters will be over.

Yan Boju interjected: "I also saw that the crops in the whole of Shanxi, that is, our kiln, are okay. We can't make silage from our own crops. But we're going to have to buy green crops from people who don't have much food in the fields, and we're going to have to get more silage this year. Our silage last year was a big deal. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Yes, our current silk softener can be driven by electricity, and it is more convenient to knead silage. This year, we have more cattle, horses and sheep than last year, and we have to prepare in advance. ”

Huang Yukun said: "Our kiln gang is now added together, and there are almost 150,000 or 60,000 people. Not only do we have to prepare winter food, but we also have to prepare winter vegetables in advance, which is a lot of money. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "You have to study this matter carefully with Mr. Lu and prepare in advance." It is best to prepare the vegetable cellar that should be dug in advance, and it is best to build a permanent vegetable cellar. ”

Lu Chengxiang's introduction of the situation made Zhang Zhimu and everyone attending the meeting feel excited. Thanks to the efforts of the Yaogang people, the economy of the entire Shanxi Province has shown signs of recovery. There is an endless stream of people coming and going north through the kiln every day. In particular, the Yaogang people opened a large traffic channel, which can send people and goods from the north to Yangzhou, Zhangjiakou in the south, and it is fast and safe, which is unimaginable in the previous stable years. Logistics, the flow of people and finance are all flowing through the kiln, and the flow is constantly accelerating.

Things are so strange, there is a war on that side, but the kiln gang people are like waving a huge shield, blocking the war to the side, on the shield side, the wind and the sun are beautiful, a peaceful scene. Kiln gang coins are now not only commonly used in Yaogang, but also can be circulated in many places in Zhangjiakou and Kill Tiger. Because there, it's a big deal that you don't want to keep the kiln gang coin, and you can go to the kiln gang ticket number to exchange it for silver at any time.

Now every day from Yaogang to Zhangjiakou, Kill Tiger Mouth, Yuncheng, and other lines of the shuttle, often to send two shifts a day, many short lines are also every other day or every few days to send a shuttle.

However, some people at the meeting also raised an opinion, saying that if we transport people and goods at the same time, will it affect our own business. Zhang Zhimu said: "The business in the world is not done by one family, only when everyone's business is done, our business can become bigger and bigger." ”

As many people have already come down from the finished construction site. After discussing with several giants of the kiln, Zhang Zhimu arranged the new kiln construction plan in advance.

The first Kiln Gang Museum

There are a lot of cultural relics and antiques in the seizure of the bandits every time the kiln gang people suppress them, and Zhang Zhimu has long had the intention of building a museum, because the cultural relics in his hands do not need to be exchanged for silver. This time, Dong Jichang was brought back from Beijing, and he was able to take charge of this matter. Nowadays museums don't need to be too big, just have three floors with a basement. The first and second floors are used for exhibition halls, the third floor is used for offices, and the basement can be used to store valuables.

The second item is the Yaogang Library

This is also a civilized city must be a building, now the whole Ming Dynasty is constantly in turmoil, the people are not living, a lot of ancient books of rare books are not worth silver, just can collect some. With these good books, the kiln gang can also reprint some in lead characters by himself. Of course, Yaogang's own books should be printed more. In the future, this is also a place for Yaogang people to read books.

The third item is Yaogang Hotel

The few rooms that Yaogang used to receive guests have long been insufficient. Although the conditions and environment of the two newly built inns are much better than those in other places, they are okay to receive ordinary guests, and the grade of receiving some high-end guests is obviously not enough. Building a high-end hotel can also improve the image of the kiln.

The fourth item is the railway from the smelting yard to the kiln gang

This is a project that needs to be launched immediately, but this project needs to use a lot of manpower and material resources, and there are four formal bridges that need to be built, not to mention small culverts and small ditches. Fortunately, there is no need to dig a cave in this section, just fill in some ditches, bulldoze some small hills, and so on.

The fifth item is seven elementary schools

The current Yaogang Primary School is built in one direction of Yaogang Bagua City, and now it is necessary to build a primary school in each of the other directions, so that primary school students can go to school nearby. Because there are too many students in one school to manage, they need to be divided into different schools.

Lingshui Wharf Primary School is counted separately.

The sixth item is Yaogang Hospital

Medical and health care is the shortcoming of Yaogang, because Zhang Zhimu himself knows too little about medical things. Therefore, on the basis of Zhang Bingchen's health center, it is necessary to invite famous doctors to build a hospital composed of various specialties.

The seventh item is the office building of the kiln head office

Needless to say, several departments of the kiln head office are distributed in different locations, and it is very inconvenient to have something. It is necessary to build a corporate office building.

Eighth item shipyard

Build a shipyard based on the current repair and renovation shipyard. Prepare for the start of shipbuilding work right away.

The ninth prime meridian landmark

Since the prime meridian, that is, the zero longitude line, passed through the kiln, a sign needed to be established. Make a sign out of copper in the ground and build a monument on the ground. This should also be a landmark building in the kiln gang.

The tenth item is the greenhouse of the warm cellar

Since the kiln can now produce float glass in large quantities, Zhang Zhimu plans to try to build a glass greenhouse in winter to produce vegetables.

When Zhang Zhimu announced these construction projects in the name of the kiln gang head office, everyone applauded and expressed their support. Although they may not be able to understand the significance of these ten constructions of the kiln, it is even difficult to understand the construction itself. But they know that after each construction is completed, it will bring great changes to the kiln. So they are all strong supporters.

According to the usual practice, tonight, these leaders of Yaogang are going to get drunk again, because it is difficult for them to meet each other in normal times. That is, there is such an opportunity when the kiln gang holds such a plenary meeting. What's more, they are responsible for their own work and report to everyone, and they have basically won the praise of the leaders of the kiln. So they also took this opportunity to relax.

Originally, Zhang Zhimu also wanted to be lively with everyone, but it didn't work. First, Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi, came; Second, after Shi Tao saw Zhang Zhimu, he said that they had brought back a group of talents from the smelting field and asked Zhang Zhimu to receive them.

It turned out that Zhou Yuji had already arrived, and since Zhang Zhimu and they had been in a meeting, he had no choice but to wait anxiously. Seeing that Zhang Zhimu came out after the meeting, especially when he saw the people who came out of the meeting, one by one, they were elated, Zhou Yuji was a little annoyed. When he saw Zhang Zhimu, he counted: "I said Zhang Dongjia, when is it, are you still happy?" What other summary development meetings are held? ”

Zhang Zhimu didn't expect Zhou Yuji to come over without saying hello, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, talk slowly if you have something." At this time, as soon as Chen Yufeng, Ouyang He, and Yan Boju came out, everyone greeted each other for a while, and Zhang Zhimu said, "Let's go, go to my office first." ”

A few people came to Zhang Zhimu's office, and after sitting down, several beauties went out after finishing tea.

Zhou Yuji's bitter face made everyone stunned: "I want to send our family members to Yaogang, please help take them in no matter what." ”
