Chapter 248: Huanghua Salt Farm



Chao Gai said, "That's easy to do." When it's cold, I'll send you to Dengshu to deliver sea fish to Tokyo. You can go to the sea and to the city. It's a good job, isn't it? ”

Chao Xiong scratched his head: "Okay." Listen to my brother. ”

"Cherish the time in the water. I'm afraid that when I cross the seas in the future, I will have little time to come back. Chao Gai sighed.

Business as usual in the barracks. All the training is carried out in an orderly manner. The newcomers Xu Yue, Xiang Zhong, and Feng Sheng gradually became familiar with the rules in the barracks. is learning from Wang Jin and Luan Tingyu to learn guns.

Chao Gai called Song Wan over. Song Wandao: "My brother called me." It's just that the armor is not enough. Mass production is required. ”

Chao Gai said: "Naturally, armor production cannot be relaxed. The first time to update rather let the armor and other soldiers. Soldiers can't wait for armor. How much armor is in stock now. ”

"Two thousand sets of infantry armor. Five hundred sets of cavalry armor. 300 sets of naval leather armor. Song Wan said.

Chao Gai nodded: "Good job." There is a certain accumulation. But it still has to continue to produce. More than 10,000 sets of armor should be in stock. Recently I had a bad premonition. It feels like it's going to war. ”

Song Wan was taken aback. Said: "Fight with whom." Zengtou City. ”

"It's just a hunch. Besides, who are we afraid of in the Yuncheng regiment in the war. Chao Gai said.

Song Wanyi thought about it. I'm really not afraid of war. The armor pieces of the steel plant are all produced. I just advocate with cowhide armor here. Even so, there are a hundred people in the armor factory. Seventy, twenty, or thirty pieces of armor a day at full speed is no problem.

"As long as the cowhide and nail pieces are supplied on. There is no problem with production. Thirty pieces of armor a day with quality and quantity. That's 900 pieces a month. That's okay. Song Wan said happily.

Chao Gai said: "It is indeed enough. Let's produce it normally. All the extra armor was put in stock. Waiting for the unnecessary. ”

"Brother, don't worry. Song Wanding should do his best. ”

Song Wan went back to supervise the production of armor. Chao Gai was busy for most of the day. It wasn't until it was almost dark in the afternoon that he came out of the barracks. Jiao Ting said, "Go to the steel plant." More and faster chapters are here. With only five soldiers. ”

Jiao Ting said: "Yes." I'll arrange it right away. ”

Yuncheng is Chaogai's territory. It's the same as an iron bucket. It's safe without a personal soldier. It's just that considering that the family is big now. Safety has become more important.

When Chao Gai Jiaoting and his entourage arrived at the Liguo Iron and Steel Plant, it was almost dark. There was a faint smoke from the smelting furnaces of the steel mills. Coke is less smoky than coal. In the ordnance manufacturing workshop, there was a clanging sound. As soon as you enter, there is a heat wave. A group of shirtless blacksmiths are crafting all kinds of weapons. Tang Long was teaching several ordinary blacksmiths how to forge sharp weapons. Tang Long wore only a burlap vest. Bulging muscles are exposed. The left hand holds the weapon embryo with pliers. Forge with a sledgehammer in your right hand. It looks like a saber. It's only a shape, though. But it still looks murderous.

Tang Long was tired. Take a towel over your shoulder to wipe your sweat. Only then did I find Chao Gai staring at it.

Tang Long hurriedly said: "When did my brother arrive?" I was busy just now. I didn't see my brother. ”

"It doesn't matter. I've been here for a while. I didn't bother you when I saw you busy. Chao Gai laughed.

Tang Long said: "It's too noisy here. Let's go to the office. ”

Saying that, Tang Long took Chao Gai and Jiao Ting to the office next to him. Chao Gai said: "The distillation pot made for you by the distillery some time ago is very useful. The response from the winery was good. It feels very practical. I'm going to have to let you continue making pots this time. ”

Because of the development of the steam engine. Tang Long and Lu Thong also went to the new Jeju Machinery Factory to contribute to MCA for more than a month. Small boilers were successfully manufactured. Later, Chao Gai left more than a dozen elite blacksmiths and carpenters to MCA to transfer Tang Long and Lu Tam back. But it's enough for MCA. After all, steam engine research is not a matter of one or two days.

Chao Gai said and took the drawings to Tang Long. Tang Long looked at it. "Heat up a cauldron below." A large pot is upside down on top as a sealed lid. Then add a trachea on top of a cauldron. Drain the steam elsewhere for condensation. There's also a filtration device. But it doesn't seem to be a distilled spirit.。。 It's like a steam boiler. ”

Chao Gai said: "Yes. The first time to update this is the distillation of the petals. The fragrance in the petals is distilled for perfume. But there's a catch. How to condense the steaming steam of the heat wave. ”

Tang Long took another piece of paper. Took a pencil and drew from it for a while. Parallel the steam pipes more than two meters. Then bend downwards. The catheter goes into the tank. The conduit becomes serpentine in the tank. Then it's time for cold steam.

"Brother. You see how it is designed. Tang Long asked.

The design is relatively simple. It's just a tank of condensation. It doesn't have to work very well. But it's simple and practical. The structure is simple.

"Good. Just follow your design. If there is a better idea when it comes to manufacturing, try it out. Be the first to update

Tang Long has no interest in perfume. What's more, there are some things that still don't need to be asked.

Tang Long carefully studied the drawings. Said: "Three days later, my brother will come to see the sample." ”

Chao Gai said: "I'm afraid it won't work in three days. You make it and let it go. I'm going to go out recently. ”

Tang Long said: "That's good. I'll make it and put it first. After the elder brother passed the acceptance, it will be produced in large quantities. ”

Immediately, Chao Gai left the drawings to Tang Long. Arrange for Tanglong to build samples without mentioning. Shan said that Chao Gai trained in the Yuncheng military camp for two days, and the soldiers took the time to go home to accompany Pan Jinlian. Then he led Jiao Ting, Luo Yun and their 100 personal soldiers to Cangzhou. The first time to update, the group of people and horses are all cavalry, and the speed is fast. It didn't take a few days to reach the border of Cangzhou. Chao Gai also did not go to the chai into the house. Go directly to the seaside Huanghua Salt Farm.

The saltworks are heavily guarded. There were soldiers patrolling all around. In addition to this, there are patrols of salt mill workers walking back and forth. Even if Chao Gai came, he had to check the waist card before he could enter.

The salt works that cannot be seen at a glance are 10,000 or 20,000 acres large. The so-called salt pans are similar to rice paddies. It is to build a flat field by the sea. The tides of the sea water are used to fill the fields with water. Then block the exit. Then the fields were filled with seawater. After a long period of exposure. The water in the fields gradually dried up. One of the achievements of the thick accumulation of the earth is salt. Of course, this is coarse salt. Refined salt can only be obtained after fine processing. The first time to update, but the average person uses coarse salt at home. Coarse salt is not cheap. Not to mention refined salt.

Thousands of long-term laborers recruited from the Zhending Prefecture toiled in the salt fields. Take a wooden shovel and pile up the sea salt in a pile. The thousands of salt piles are spectacular.

On the edge of the salt pan are brick bungalows. The construction is very neat. Qianmo Traffic. This is Yantian New Village. The 2,000 workers of the salt works were divided into two villages. Relative to the neatness of Yantian New Village. The makeshift shack next to it is just fine. Kong Yang designed and supervised the construction of temporary shacks. Line spacing is fireproof. Drains were repaired. Temporary toilets were dug up. It's safe and hygienic to live in. But it can only be said that it is improvised. After all, temporary buildings are no match for brick houses.

"How did Chao Tuanlian come about? I didn't let me know in advance. so that the younger brother can meet him. A person walking briskly next to him said loudly.

Chao Gai turned around and saw that it was no one else. It was Chai Jin. Chai Jin is no longer as brocade and mink as he used to be. Dressed up in a power suit. Dressed in a black trench coat outside. Two retinues were also brought. Huanghua Salt Farm has a little stake in Chai Jin. Chai Jin made a lot of money because of such a small amount of shares.

Chao Gai smiled: "Haha." Brother Chai. I didn't see it for a day. I was going to go to the house to ask for a bowl of wine to eat. I didn't expect to meet here. ”

Chai came in and greeted Chao Gai. Then he said: "Recently, I have been stained with my brother's light." After the last time I shot the tiger, I got a nickname locally. It's called Chai Shot Tiger. The nickname is much more majestic than a little whirlwind. ”

"Oh. Good. All right. Chai Shehu has a good nickname. Recently, Brother Chai has been much stronger than before. It seems like a lot of hard work. Chao Gai said.

Chai Jin said: "After meeting my brother last time, I found out that I have been practicing some flower boxing and embroidered legs for so long. In the past six months, I have abandoned the flashy tricks of the past. Switched to running, boxing, horseback riding, and archery, there were gradually a lot of strong men. The bankers of Chaijiazhuang have also been retrained. There has been a slight improvement. ”

Chao Gai looked at the two entourages brought by Chai Jin. Apparently also a good person.

The operating statements of the salt works are often seen by these covers. So you don't have to ask Chai Jin. After all, Chai Jin is only responsible for some things on the periphery. It has been put into production for more than half a year. The output is as high as 8 million catties. Such a high yield is truly astonishing. Excludes expenses and dividends to shareholders. Chao Gai's net income is also more than 500,000 yuan. Chai Jin also has a net income of 60,000 or 70,000 guan. Originally, Chai Jinzhuang only had an income of one or two hundred thousand yuan a year. Chai Jin spends money like running water. There are fewer left. It's good now. I have money to spare. Chao Gai said: "What about Mr. Zhu." Why didn't you see him. ”

Chai Jin said: "It should be to settle those long-term workers recruited from Hebei." These long-term laborers work temporarily from the salt works. Some people get sick because of the lack of adaptation. Mr. Zhu is coordinating with the doctor to treat Changgong's illness. ”

"Oh. Mr. Zhu is hard enough. Chao Gai said. I don't know if the Chai brothers are satisfied with the income of this year's salt farm. ”

Chai Jin said: "Brother, I don't know where I learned this method of drying salt. When the salt field expands to 350,000 mu next year, I believe that business will be better. It can't be said that it is profitable anymore. It should be said that it is a money-hugging process. ”

Chao Gai shook his head: "Not so. The method of drying salt is simple. Low investment. There's nothing technical. It probably won't make a difference next year. But there will definitely be many people who will follow suit in the years after then. When the time comes, the price of salt plummets. The profit is average. We have to develop a new path. Only continuous innovation can stay behind. ”

The two chatted for a while. Chai Jin said: "I know that my brother is busy. I won't bother my brother. Noon at the Yanshan Village Hotel. I'm in for a treat. Please brother and Mr. Zhu be sure to enjoy the light. ”
