Chapter 423 Food, clothing, shelter and transportation
The most basic embodiment of people's quality of life is clothing, food, housing and transportation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to a lot of work done in the early stage, the basic living security has been unhindered, although there is still a lot of content to dig up in the later stage, but some are dispensable, so the peak will focus on several outstanding things in the development of the next step.
The first is clothing.
Thanks to the textile mill, the textile efficiency has increased several times, and Gaofeng has designed shuttle looms and sewing machines for various garment workshops and families, which has once again reduced the production cost.
More importantly, the large promotion and use of cotton provides a major source for the cloth market. Cotton is more comfortable than hemp, so it became a sought-after item as soon as it appeared. Gaofeng has added some cotton and linen blended fabrics, wool and leather, combined with silk, etc., to make the cloth and clothing market more colorful.
With these fabrics, there is more room for clothing design, leather clothing, Tang clothing, horse coats, Zhongshan suits, labor clothes, and even suits and other clothing have come out one after another, which has dazzled people's eyes for a while, and even more, Gaofeng has also launched trendy clothing such as cheongsam and high heels, so that everyone can see more novelty.
Not only that, Gaofeng also vigorously promotes the underwear market and influences people ideologically.
When new things come out, people's acceptance naturally needs a process, so Gao Feng spared no expense and invited many people from Qinglou and other places to be models, provide salaries and clothes, and make people walk on the street, so as to stimulate people's senses and make people feel unacceptable.
The second is food.
With the emergence of soybean oil, Gao Feng then launched rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, hemp oil and other varieties, and people no longer use monotonous animal oil and sesame oil for wonderful dishes, and there is more flavor from the taste. What's more, these vegetable oils are relatively cheap and more easily accepted by households.
The large-scale breeding and cultivation of animals and plants, as well as the emergence of greenhouse vegetables, make people's tables more abundant and delicious.
Not only that, Gao Feng also asked each restaurant to provide some commonly used recipes, and then some Chinese medicine practitioners explained the main functions of the ingredients, and distributed them through newspapers and magazines, so that people could know how to make some commonly used dishes, so as to vigorously promote food aesthetics.
At the same time, there are also standardized restaurants and food streets. Strict sanitation system, resolutely put an end to junk food and harmful food, and put food safety in the first place.
I am not in a hurry to solve the problem of housing at once, after all, no one can have too much money to spare, and even if the government wants to help, its ability is limited.
However, Gao Feng still introduced several measures. The first is to transform the county seat. For some old urban areas, the demolition and relocation that should be demolished and renovated should be rectified have one point, that is, to deal with dirty and messy. The second is to identify the private houses in the county, and carry out supportive construction of some dilapidated houses and shantytowns, so as to ensure that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. The third is to resettle some migrant households and displaced people in a unified manner, and provide housing in the form of low-cost rental. Fourth, it is necessary to establish nursing homes and welfare homes to shelter and assist the elderly, orphans and the disabled to protect the disadvantaged.
In the next step, Gao Feng's idea is to build a new village, based on existing roads and river banks, and gradually radiate to the surrounding areas, so that even the people can become large-scale.
To solve the problem of walking, the first thing is to build roads.
Before the road was built, Gao Feng defined and divided the county administratively. The original Wu Bao system is maintained, but another unit is added on the basis of Du Bao, that is, township.
Wudu Bao is a township, about ten miles in radius, and market centers, schools, medical care and elderly care facilities are established in the township, so as to facilitate the people's lives.
The planning of the road is to take the township as the point for the network layout, so that the township can connect the highway and the village has a road.
Roads were built of cement or clay, with the county government as the main financier, and the rest as a proper labor tax or collection of contributions, and, of course, some loans.
In the first year, the county government raised more than 400,000 yuan and borrowed more than 200,000 yuan for the repair of the river. As for the borrowing, a year later, Gao Feng even repaid the principal with interest, so when he raised and borrowed again, the effect was even better than the previous year.
Everyone responded, and this time they actually raised more than 900,000 yuan, including 500,000 yuan in donations, 400,000 yuan in loans, plus hundreds of thousands of yuan funded by the county government and labor taxes, totaling nearly 1.5 million yuan, which was more than enough to build roads. Of course, the bulk of this fundraising and borrowing is still Gao Jiazuo, who donated a total of 300,000 yuan and lent 150,000 yuan, which still accounts for half.
With money, it is easy to do, just call people to work, and many roads have been formed before, and they only need to be repaired and perfected, and the amount of work is relatively reduced.
The second point of the line is the means of transport. River transport has taken shape, and needless to say, the best way to get through the road is by horse-drawn carriage.
For this reason, Gao Feng bought a lot of horses from outside, which flooded the towns and villages as transportation forces.
These are the most conventional ways, and in fact Gao Feng has been designing a new type of transportation, which is bicycles.
Don't look at the simplicity of the bicycle, but the technical content is not small, first of all, the problem of chain and bearing, which requires a high processing technology. Although the Gao family workshop has been improving, it is still quite difficult to do this, and the peak of this is considered a simple method from the beginning of the casting mold, and after more than a year of exploration, it is finally basically formed.
The second is the tires. Without rubber, the production of tires is simply a fantasy, and in this regard, Gao Feng can only consider synthetic rubber. However, the main material of synthetic rubber is isoprene monomer, and its main source is petroleum.
The method found by Gao Feng is to condense acetylene and acetone, but it is not easy to obtain these two substances. For example, acetone can be obtained by alcoholic fermentation, but its conversion efficiency is very low. Acetylene is obtained by the reaction of calcium carbide and water, and the preparation of calcium carbide is made by quicklime and coke at high temperature. And so on, the whole procedure is cumbersome and inefficient, and I feel a little dizzy at the peak.
However, even if it is not easy, Gao Feng still insists on doing it, even if he does not synthesize rubber in the end, it is necessary to separate many chemicals, so that he can fill his chemistry laboratory, and it will be much more convenient to do experiments in the future.
Since the rubber can't come out for a while, Gao Feng considered riding a bicycle with iron wheels directly, but this can only be ridden at home, and he doesn't dare to promote it, because its promotion value is not large.
Of course, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, Gao Feng also improved medical care, education and household registration, and at the same time established some departments similar to postal services, banks and other aspects.
