Chapter 631: The Acropolis
Each car is to carry about 7,000 catties of copper ingots, more than 10 cars come over is more than 70,000 catties, this is the accumulation of copper ore in the last nearly 20 days, with the increase of blast furnaces, the number of miners is also enough, digging copper ore and smelting and casting is almost day and night, more and more copper ingots, the coinage speed of Li Zhuang is also getting faster and faster with the increase of experience and machines, from the first month to the middle of March, more than three months have been cast more than 400,000 catties of copper ingots, this speed has to be said to be very amazing.

Of course, it will go faster and faster...... According to the budget of the military department, after May, the daily output of copper mines can exceed about 12,000 catties, 30 to 350,000 catties per month, according to the reserves of copper mines, the number of workers and the number of blast furnaces, this output should be the peak speed, if it is a copper mine in later generations, the output of hundreds of thousands of tons and more than one million tons a year is almost embarrassed to say that it is a large amount of production, but with the current technology of excavation and smelting, this speed can no longer be increased, unless it is to squeeze the health of workers and ignore their safety and lives, Even this will not increase production much, and it will ruin its reputation for nothing.
When the mining of easy mining is completed within half a year or a year, the speed of mining and smelting will decrease, but it is estimated that the output can still be maintained between one million catties and one and a half million catties a year, which is already very good.
The coachman was going to laugh with Li Pingzhi for a few words, but seeing that this young man was dressed in a neat official robe, and he was still in good spirits after staying in the car for two days, his eyes were bright, his body was tall, and his appearance was handsome, so he got into the car honestly, pressed the lit cigarette pot with his thumb, and said, "Mr. Li, let's go." ”
Li Pingzhi smiled slightly and agreed.
"Alright, the handover is complete."
Outside the Li Zhuang Mint, Li Pingzhi and a mint clerk made a handover, the two sides signed each other's bills, each took it back and reported it for filing, and the cart full of copper ingots entered the mint in turn.
Li Pingzhi glanced at it a few times, his identity could not enter the Mint, the secret level here was very high, and Yusheng did not want to let outsiders know the situation on the Mint, not only the peripheral areas were heavily guarded, but outsiders could not come at all, even if it was an insider like Li Pingzhi, he could not enter without special approval.
In contrast, the northern mining area is more heavily guarded, and the military has specially transferred half a brigade of soldiers and three companies of infantry to garrison and help the mining area to carry out its work, and there are two companies of cavalry patrolling the periphery, because it is the core area, and the periphery is all piers and military forts, so it is impossible to leak the slightest information.
This is also the reason why He Yusheng has minted a large number of copper coins, and the entire Xuanda to Beijing has been stirred by this matter, and countless people want to know the source of the copper material of He Yusheng but cannot find out the news at all, after the discovery of the copper mine, no one except for the necessary personnel has ever been known, and then the military department issued a confidentiality order, no one is allowed to leak the slightest bit of information, and for young officials like Li Pingzhi, it is a strict order that the news must never be leaked out.
Although there are rumors that there is a copper mine in Heyusheng, it is still just a rumor so far because the news blockade is extremely strict.
Li Pingzhi smiled and said, "In that case, I will say goodbye." ”
The official clasped his fists and said: "It's been hard all the way, if you want to rest in the Li Zhuang pavilion area, it's still time to have breakfast." ”
"I'm not going." Li Pingzhi: "I drove the carriage back to the mining area in an hour, and it was too late to rest. ”
There is a building in Lizhuang, specially for a short period of time to stay in Lizhuang or the nearby area of the public officials to rest, the dormitory is a single room, with the correspondence can be checked-in, but also provide three meals for free, the conditions are very good, it is inconvenient to go home on official business, and the people who do not go home will choose to rest in the building, the time may be one or two hours to half a day, one or two days. It's just that although the conditions over there are good, no one will dare to take the risk of delaying their official work to forcibly rest, once they miss their official duties, they will be recorded once or twice in the record, which is a stain that cannot be shaken off for life, and it will affect the next step of promotion very much.
"Okay, then I wish you a nice trip."
The clerk of the Mint Bureau is an old man, who has been tutoring in school for a while, and knows that the junior in front of him is determined to make progress and is not afraid of hardship. So don't say much, hug each other again, even if you say goodbye to each other.
Li Pingzhi thought about it, the time of more than an hour is really embarrassing, and it is too late to rest, but he also has to find a place to eat breakfast and pass the time, the time for the next carriage to depart is fixed, it is impossible to leave early because of him, and Li Pingzhi does not want to wait for the car early, after all, he will stay in the car for two days after a while, and he is very depressed when he thinks about it.
"Why don't you go to the school and have a look."
Li Pingzhi left the school less than half a year, last year's overall situation will be scheduled for his batch of cadets to graduate, they are not military schools, after graduation they were directly assigned to various divisions, and some of the cadets did not go to He Yusheng to work, but returned to their own family to serve, and they will not interfere with such a choice of military divisions...... There are two types of schools in Li Zhuang: elementary and intermediate, and it is rumored that there will be a senior school, but it has not yet been opened.
The primary level is to start from the early childhood and childhood, and it takes six years to graduate, if you intend to work within Heyusheng, you can directly promote to the intermediate school to study, and after graduation, the military department will be directly hired. Of course, those who fail to pass the grades will also be eliminated, and Li Zhuang will be short of people, and if it is an unqualified student, it will not be included, so he can only be asked to go home.
Elementary and intermediate schools are free, and provide meals, which attracts a lot of children from poor families, but when you get to the intermediate school, you have to work for and Yusheng to be free, draw and sign, no remorse, if you don't want to enter and Yusheng, and want to learn something useful in school, you can pay your own tuition, and you can decide where to go after graduation.
Self-funded are generally sent in the firm, and Yusheng cultivated not many talents, after all, the intermediate school has only been established for less than three years, but out are top talents, since and Yusheng is willing to cultivate talents, the strength of the firm is still willing to send some outstanding children to the school and Yusheng to study, after coming out is a very effective helper, can even be used as a successor to cultivate.
Li Pingzhi's school is in the Tiancheng Acropolis, not in Li Zhuang, after all, Li Zhuang is close to the factory area, and several schools are as far away as possible, and the rest are gradually moving to Tiancheng Acropolis, anyway, the difference between that side and Li Zhuang is not too big.
On the way to the Acropolis in a passenger carriage, Li Pingzhi very much hoped to see Zhang Han go there, when Tianchengwei was studying, Zhang Han went about once every three or five days, and then after going north, he did not show up in Tianchengwei for more than half a year, and when Li Pingzhi and others saw him again, it was already time to go north to play on the grassland.
It's a pity that Zhang Han obviously has no plan to travel today, less than half an hour, after Li Pingzhi arrived at the Acropolis, the city was calm, and there was no sign of Zhang Han coming to the Acropolis.
After not arriving at the Acropolis for a few months, Li Pingzhi still felt some changes.
After the year, the road from Tianchengwei to Yang and the Acropolis was opened, this road is from south to north, almost a straight line, there are some mountains in the middle, it is not dense, just detour the road a little, there was originally an official road, it is in disrepair, the soil is half a person high in summer and autumn, and the barren grassland stretches into pieces in winter and spring, and it is almost impossible to see where the official road is.
Yanghe Acropolis is a place where there are many official offices, the governor of Xuanda and the deputy chief soldier Yamen, as well as a number of yamen such as Bingbei Road and Fenshou Road are also in the city, commerce is not developed, and people will not go there without nothing, in recent years, and Yusheng has opened a branch there, there is almost no decent business house competition, and this road is built to facilitate delivery.
Li Pingzhi couldn't help but ponder: Dare to build the road to Yanghe Acropolis still shows the recent change in the mentality of the military division!
In the past, although the relationship with the governor, the chief soldier and other high-ranking officials was irreversible, but the mentality of the military department was to stay away from these officials.
Today, the military department is obviously more confident and open-minded.
The city is very clean everywhere, which is also related to the direct control of Yusheng, the most conspicuous building complex on the north and south streets was originally the chamber of commerce, and now it has been changed to a branch of Yusheng, and then the rest of the firms, and Yusheng's several schools are in the easternmost part of the cross street, next to the original school palace and the yamen of the guard, Zhang Han will work here if he is in the acropolis, so that he can see people and go to the school to give lectures.
West Street is a large storage area, the Acropolis is also the top priority of the Yusheng storage area, the entire West City has been moved away a large number of households, the original vegetable field wasteland is all utilized, the built warehouse can accommodate millions of stone grain, even at the national level is a considerable granary, in addition to some armories and a small number of garrisons, sometimes military cadets will rest in the city during training, there is also a smaller military camp in the west of the city.
Zhang Han served as the Acropolis garrison for only two years, and the entire Acropolis did not move in more residents except for more prosperous commerce and more commercial banks, but regarded the Acropolis as an education and storage base, but with the current prosperity and cleanliness of the Acropolis, it is almost impossible to believe that this is a small city of the Acropolis in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.
The traffic on the street is also very dense, after all, it is an important storage base for Yusheng, whether it is in or out, the fleet is almost endless, and it is not only a commercial house with Yusheng, since the rise of Yusheng, the business of the entire Xuanda area of northern Shanxi is more prosperous than before, originally Shanxi is a single show in Xinpingbao, close to Zhangjiakou, Shanxi businessmen to the north to do business in the big people, after the end of the horse market there will be a long period of low tide, but also because of Yusheng was born, the horse market is not there, Buying and selling can still be done, which also makes more businessmen in southern Jin and even southern Shaanxi come to the north of Jin, the location of Tianchengwei is very important, otherwise it would not have been selected as the acropolis, now because of the existence of Yusheng, it is already a large storage and transfer center, and it is also an extremely safe place, many big businesses have opened branches here, Zhang Han is of course very welcome to this, and the city has become more prosperous.
