Now Youzhou needs manpower everywhere, and Youzhou was originally distressed by the resettlement of three million people, but now it is even more distressed by the lack of population.

But no matter what, people's livelihood comes first, and others come last, this is Lu Peng's principle.

In winter, everyone is anxious, and the displaced people who have settled down have just dug their nests to shelter. When spring begins, these underground nests will not become, and the underground nests are easy to enter the water and return to the tide, and it will be troublesome to make a plague when the time comes. ”

This is what Lu Peng is most worried about, the plague, in this old era, in this era without a complete and advanced medical system and medicines, is definitely the biggest natural enemy of the population, as long as the plague comes, it can only be eliminated by waiting for the arrival of winter, and there is no other way.

A Black Death, a typhoid fever, and smallpox, which once wiped out three-fifths of the earth's population. Lu Peng would never dare to take this danger, so he must organize all the manpower and arrange all the life problems after the weather warms up in spring.

Blacksmith Zhao also knew that he was a little greedy, so he stopped talking.

"My lord, in fact, I can supply thousands of laborers in our base area." Cheng Wei, who served in Youbeiping, stood up and took the initiative to solve the problem of Lord Lu Peng.

In fact, it is true that the land of Youbeiping is vast and sparsely populated, but the output of Youbeiping is indeed scarce, not only is there no coal and coke like Changli, but also a natural harbor, and the land is mainly steep mountains, and the land is barren and scarce.

Lu Peng thought about it, and finally shook his head and rejected his request, "Right Beiping is the throat link between Liaoxi and Youzhou headquarters, once Gongsun Du has the heart to return to the army, you will become the rear of the Changli front, so you can't transfer people there, after you go back, you have to implement the policies and methods we have formulated, and if you don't want us to support you on a large scale, even if it is Amitabha." ”

Cheng Qi thought about it, if Youbeiping was empty, Liaoxi County and Changli County would become enclaves without a rear.

Since you can't increase the number of people, you should work on technology, or what to do.

As for technology, it is a bit dwarfed, the memories of the last era are all common sense of life, there is no high-tech content at all, even if there is, it can't be made according to the current foundation.

Wait, what did you just think of yourself?

Lu Peng's head suddenly flashed with inspiration, but it soon disappeared, and he couldn't grasp it in a daze if he wanted to, so he involuntarily stopped and began to enter a state of thinking.

Lu Peng stopped suddenly, everyone was walking, and they almost collided with Lu Peng, so they quickly stopped their steps, but they didn't collide, but the people behind them collided.

But even so, everyone gritted their teeth and endured the pain silently, they knew that in such a situation, it was the lord who had made some new discoveries and new ideas. And every time a new idea comes out, there will be a great push forward in the construction of the base area, and it can't be disturbed, so a group of people quietly surround Lu Peng and look forward to his results.

Lu Peng squatted on the ground, picked up a branch and drew randomly: "What I just thought of was that the current output of steel is more than enough for my own use, because the real steel gold swallowing beast railway has not yet appeared, yes, it is a railway." ”

Lu Peng suddenly stood up and clapped his hands, suddenly laughed, and hurriedly said to Blacksmith Zhao: "Hurry up and find the outstanding students of the technical school, I have a way to solve the shortage of manpower." ”

When Blacksmith Zhao heard this, where did he dare to be lazy, he immediately called a brother, and hurriedly asked him to run to find those masters from technical schools and rush to listen to orders.

While waiting, Lu Peng lowered his head and paced slowly, slowly making the railway clear and practical.

The railway is now the most suitable thing in this big construction site, but if you really want to make a railway, it is still quite luxurious, and steel is the most expensive at this time, and it can't be wasted.

Since you can't use steel, then use wood, yes, just use hard wood, anyway, it's not a car to pull dozens of hundreds of tons, and the carrying capacity is not very large, as long as a bucket pulls a ton, that is, two thousand catties, there is absolutely no problem, and these two thousand catties are definitely the workload of twenty people in the wheelbarrow now.

Power, that's better to do, because of the small volume, and then there is a small friction of the track, then we don't want the locomotive head (and can't build the locomotive head), then use horses or oxen, build a multi-wheeled carriage that is, usually on the dirt road, three horses can pull two or three thousand pounds of goods, then on this track, a few times the number of times should be no problem, in this way, the manpower does not increase, is several times the capacity efficiency, if the iron ore and blast furnace there is a jam, then it can also save a large number of labor to use in other development directions, In addition, the cost of steelmaking can be greatly reduced.

The thought of the pride almost danced with his hands.

A few students who graduated from the original technical school in a hurry, and the current masters. As soon as they saw that it was their own mountain chief who saw them, they immediately stepped forward excitedly to pay homage, calling themselves teachers, and then they were pulled by Lu Peng to look at the things drawn by Lu Peng on the ground.

Later, the railroad wagons were crumped out, and the wheels were not made of iron but bronze, so that there was a certain softness and reduced damage to the wooden tracks. The wheel is still the outer circle and the inner square, the outer circle is the shape of the train wheel drawn by Lu Shi, but there is a square hole in the middle, the two ends of the hardwood as the axle are cut into a square and inserted into it, just enough to be stuck, and there is a 'jurisdiction' outside to jam the wheel, so that it does not fall off the axle, the whole wheel is not big, only the size of an ordinary basin, but there is no problem when it is stuck on the track.

With such an axle as the core, the assembled rail-drawn carriage can only be said to be useful, but not good, and has not met the requirements of Lu Peng's greatest expectations. But the results of using it are already amazing.

It is indeed more convenient than using an ordinary carriage, and it is four carriages with two horses pulled together, adding up to 6,000 catties, and judging from the situation where two horses can easily stride forward, they should be able to pull more.

In addition, these students drew inferences from each other and also designed two kinds of tracks, one is to build a track with hardwood according to Lu Peng's design model, and then put a special style of wheels on the track.

There is also an idea to dig two parallel tunnels directly on the road surface, and then ask the stonemason to chisel out a stone track with grooves, so that ordinary horse-drawn carriages can travel in the tunnel, so that as long as the tunnel is kept intact, the vehicle will not be affected by the damaged road surface, and the transportation capacity has been greatly improved.

A month later, on the premise of greatly increasing production and reducing costs by 30 percent, the iron and steel plant also laid off nearly 1,000 laborers, and the liberation of these laborers injected fresh vitality into the construction of the base areas.

When Lu Peng came to the ordnance prison with a look of admiration, he watched the tumbling molten steel poured into the rows of models, and after cooling, he pried open the models, and a blank of the saber was displayed in front of him, and then a donkey cart pulled out these blanks, and distributed them to the old people and children in various villages to polish and process them again, and then when they were taken back, a treasure knife that made outsiders greedy and enthusiastic was completed, and the high-ranking cadres and other surprised people didn't know what to say.

When they left the steelmaking and ordnance foundries, they went into one factory after another, producing all kinds of things that were not found anywhere else, and these officials were simply dazzled by them.

Finally, Lu Peng led everyone to a heavily guarded, even everyone is not allowed to enter the factory, Lu Peng pointed to the huge windmill that is as dense as a forest, listening to the monotonous and continuous roar like thunder in the room under the windmill, Lu Peng proudly introduced to your subordinates loudly: "This is the source of wealth in the world, the foundation of our wealth in the world - the mint, here, the number of steel coins minted every day is something you can never imagine, now, let us be here together - imagine." ”
