Chapter 16
Qiao's was not full of farmers, but there were five blacksmiths and ten carpenters in this time.
Due to the scarcity of vegetation nearby, the carpenter had to follow the blacksmiths to strike iron, or help with some footwork. Occasionally, they still get jobs to make wood, but it's usually because the tools in the production team are broken. The average person has almost no furniture.
I have to say that this newbie package is also flawed.
Having said that, the iron ore near Kerch [hereinafter referred to as Chizhou] is a world-famous large iron mine, but it is actually not a very good iron mine.
In iron ore deposits, the main types are broadly divided into volcanic and sedimentary metamorphism. Chizhou iron ore is a sedimentary iron ore deposit. And Kerch also added the term marine sedimentation.
The general characteristics of sedimentary iron ore deposits are also very clear, with large reserves, but the grade is not high, and most of them are poor ores. It is not difficult to mine, because the sedimentary layer is latent and in some places it is even directly exposed.
The representative of this type of iron ore is not only Kerhematite, but also the Alsace-Lorraine iron mine, which France and Germany have fought for a hundred years, is the largest representative type.
Regarding the urban planning of Chizhou, this issue was re-opened and considered by Qin Cang.
"The North End is now the largest residential area, and most of the residents have moved to the North District. The harbor area is not large, with only a few dozen households, so it is counted together with the North District for the time being. Here in the southern area, I plan to renovate part of it, which is used for grazing and as a playground for army training. As for the Northwest District, I have an idea in my mind. But it's still being considered. ”
Now there are only Qin Cang and Qiao Su here. Baoyin couldn't understand Chinese, so of course he left with hatred. On the other hand, Qin Cang and Qiao Sucai know the roots, so Qin Cang is most at ease with Qiao Sucai. Bao Yin saw it, but there was no way to stop it. After all, the most of the residents in the territory were brought by her, and in terms of family contribution, Baoyin was not as good as Qiao Su. However, Baoyin didn't know that Qin Cang and Qiao Su were only friends at the moment.
"Northwest District...... What are you going to do? Qiao Su is still smiling. Qin Cang always felt that something was not quite right with her. In modern parlance, she's wearing a mask. After working for a few years, Qin Cang has long been able to recognize people in society.
Josu almost never loses his temper. This is good-tempered in the eyes of others, but it is simply impossible in Qin Cang's eyes.
No matter how good-tempered a normal person is, it is impossible not to lose his temper, and Qiao Su still treats people with a smile in the few days when he was in the most irritable mood, Qin Cang doesn't know how to describe it.
"I'm ready to ....... It's unlikely right now. I want Qiao Bao and them to see if they can try to start wrought iron on the iron ore that has been exposed in the mountains. Qin Cang raised his head, and Qiao Su really showed a look of "Hello and ambitious".
"I certainly know it's unlikely right now. It's that there is no labor to mine, but I don't think there is no way to get mines. Organize the women and children to go up the mountain every day to pick up ore and carry it to the northwest area. Where can we make a blast furnace first, and then gather less to make more! I don't have high expectations, I just need to be able to repair iron tools and make iron farming tools! ”
Qin Cang's idea still originated from the Great Leap Forward Iron and Steel Refining that Qiao Su didn't know.
Although there was a major mistake in the Great Iron and Steel Refining, Qin Cang vaguely remembered that it was also quite crazy at that time. The people cut down the hills, made the mountains bald, and collected steel for re-smelting, which was also extremely powerful.
Qiao Bao is the leader of Qiao's blacksmiths, and now he also leads the carpenters. Of course, these craftsmen don't have to plough the land, but they can't be idle. It's up to them to mend things and everything. Despite some things, they don't.
"It doesn't seem like it's impossible......"
The reserves of Chizhou iron ore are enormous. Many iron ores are exposed directly to the surface. Although it is a poor mine, the iron content in the ore is small, but it is still the same sentence, less is more.
"Look. We have more than 800 children, and hundreds of women, that's more than 1,000. Of course, there are hundreds of healthy women who work with their husbands in the production team, but that doesn't matter. We have a lot of horses, and they all have livestock at home. Organize them to ......." Qin Cang excitedly planned on the plan. The more he talked, the more feasible he felt.
"What about tools? You know, we don't have a pickaxe right now, and it's hard to get a big chunk of iron ore. And you forgot the most important thing, we don't have enough food for us to squander so much! Qiao Su's faint sigh pulled Qin Cang back to reality.
Yes, there is a shortage of food.
If you want to organize people to get ore, then it is bound to increase food consumption.
"No! A must do! If you do it, you may not be able to do it well, and if you don't do it, you will have nothing! Qin Cang threw down the pen in his hand and said to Qiao Su firmly!
"And what are you going to do?" Qiao Su's tender arms were placed on the table, and his hands were supporting his cute head, Qiao Su wanted to see something different about Qin Cang's body.
"Take the small ore first. To tell you the truth, Qiao Bao is already preparing to build a blast furnace. I don't know how to burn the kiln, but Qiao Bao can do a little. Build the blast furnace first. Then let people pick up the ore, not the big pieces, the small pieces can be smelted! Food...... Take out a part of the subsidy for the sheep in my name. Ore is then used to calculate the work, and those who accumulate a certain amount of work can get a pickaxe. I haven't discussed this with Qiao Bao yet. However, it is also possible to allocate a part of the grain from the warehouse to subsidize the craftsmen. That's what I think for the time being. ”
Qin Cang sat on the chair and talked eloquently.
Plans, just plans that stay on paper.
But the key is whether the plan can be implemented. How many plans do we make each year, but how many do we accomplish?
I remember someone said that just talking doesn't practice fake tricks.
Qin Cang said very seriously: "Only when you do it do you know how good it is bad!" I know it's tough right now, but what's not tough? People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees for an autumn. But the difference between people and plants is that people will be angry and strong! Challenge the impossible! ”
"Shun is in the acres, Fu said that it is lifted between the plates, the rubber is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is raised in the Shi, Sun Shu Ao is raised in the sea, and Baili Xi is held in the city. Therefore, the heavens will be responsible for people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically.
I, Qin Cang, can't help myself, today I pray for the protection of the Heavenly Ancestors, and bless my Han Dynasty to prosper in a foreign land again! After hearing the words, he was empty-handed, poor and white. There is no male soldier in Chizhou today, and there is no soldier armor, which means that he is empty-handed; There is no grain, no gold, silver, and copper, and the land is only in the middle field, which is said to be poor and white.
However, the Chu people have a blue road, to open the mountains and forests, to dominate the Warring States for 700 years, and three households died in Qin. The kid Qin Cang dares to be immeasurable, and wants to follow the sages! ”
