2388 Pollution of Handan Iron Works

"According to Li Xin's telegram, it snowed early in the Dawan area, and the snowfall was very large, and there were strong winds in some areas. Vertex. The fastest people can't walk at all. We don't know exactly how serious the situation is, but I think we can only solve it in the worst possible way. Wei Yu said.

"How do you solve these problems?" Shang Wen is more concerned with logistics.

"We have studied a lot of methods, but as far as the current estimated situation is concerned, I think it is very unoptimistic, maybe with our current technical means, we can't cope with such bad weather, we can only let the expeditionary force troops, solve it on the spot, or find a way to hold on. Or a stop. Wei Yu said with a wave of his arm.

"It is true that nature has many disasters that we cannot imagine. These disasters are enough to make it difficult for us. Shang Wen said.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Wei Yi said.

"Hmm. We can't be in a hurry when we put this problem aside for the time being, and the more anxious we are, the more we can't solve this problem. We must rely on technical means to solve this problem once and for all. Shang Wen said.

"Yes. That's true. Wei Yu said worriedly. In order to solve the logistics problem, Wei Yu studied a lot of technical information about logistics transportation, such as motor vehicles, and railway transportation. But there is no way to solve this dilemma at present.

"However, we also have good news." As he spoke, Shang Wen handed Wei Yu a telegram.

"This telegram is from Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo people hope that our Qin State will agree to their troops to help us solve the affairs of the Western Regions, and their soldiers can provide us with all kinds of support." Shang Wen said to Wei Yu.

"These Goguryeo people came here to cause trouble for us." Wei Yu said this after reading the telegram.

"Huh. I don't think so, maybe we're really useful. Shang Wen said.

"We can send them to the Yueshi region, or other areas, or we can organize a large number of people to expand our railways, and so on. In short, they still have some use, and we don't need to reply to each other like this, after all, the other party is well-intentioned. Shang Wen said to Wei Yu.

"I don't think it's that simple for these Goguryeo people." Wei Yu shook his head and said.

Indeed, it was mentioned in the telegram. The Goguryeo people plan to go south, there are still many primitive tribes there, or the tribal alliance is not unified, they plan to go there to try their luck, hoping that our Qin side will give this pass, as well as support. That's why they're supporting us in our fights. Shang Wen said.

"That is, they send troops, send people, and then they send another elite force into the southern regions to expand their sphere of influence?" Wei Yi said.

"Yes. That's what it means. Shangwen nodded.

"The Goguryeo people can increase the population, they can expand our market, and they can also help us solve a lot of labor problems, compared to the locals in the Western Regions, we can only trust those Goguryeo people, although we were enemies in the past, but now we all have to believe in each other in order to survive in a strange environment, I plan to approve this." Shang Wen said.

"Does the king know about this?" Wei Yu asked.

"I've already submitted my report. Meng Yi meant the same thing. Shang Wen said.

He believes that by doing so, at least the number of troops can be expanded. At the same time, it can help the Goguryeo people through the current predicament, and the weather forecast says that there may be snow in the next few days, in which case, their situation is really not good. Shang Wen said.

"Well, this is also to help the Goguryeo people." Wei Yi said.

"Yes. We must not crush the enemy too much, which would not be conducive to an equal dialogue between the two sides. Shang Wen said.

"Okay. Just do it. Wei Yu nodded and said.

Zhao Guo Handan. Inside the Old Town.

"Ahem. Ahem. An old man coughed incessantly.

"Grandpa, your cough hasn't healed yet." A child asked with a smile.

"Nope. No. I don't know what's going on, but when I smell this smoke, I keep coughing. The old man said, holding his chest.

"Ahem." The old man kept coughing. He felt like something was wrong with his chest. Then he touched his mouth with his hand, and he felt his throat feel sweet.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you vomited blood." The child said for some reason.

"I'll go tell Daddy." The child said.

"Son, stop. Hold it. The old man said.

"Don't tell your daddy. Your father went to the ironworks every day, and he had to work for a long time. Money is not easy to earn. That's it. And your mother, don't talk nonsense. You know? The old man said.

"Got it." The child nodded.

"Grandpa went to drink saliva, and then it was fine." The old man said as he entered the house with the help of the child. Since the establishment of the Handan Iron Works, a large amount of soot has drifted into these courtyards, and smoking cigarette ash every day makes the old man feel unwell, not only him, but also his children. His neighbor's old man used to bask in the sun, and then he didn't have the sun anymore. Because iron smelting requires a lot of coal, and the soot emitted by this coal obscures the sky, they have to live in such an environment every day. The nearby Lao Zhao died because of this. The old man couldn't help but wonder if he would be like this.

But the people of Handan are inseparable from the iron factory, many people rely on the iron factory to support their families, and the men need this factory job to survive. Otherwise, they simply won't survive. Living in Handan City, you need money to drink saliva. You can't live without money. The old man thought.

This is due to the early days of pollution control. In fact, such a situation also happened in Xianyang, Qin State. It's just that the Qin State relocated some factories. In particular, heavily polluting factories, such as iron works, have moved out of Xianyang. However, some processing plants still exist. In this way, the Qin State is still in the midst of pollution, but fortunately, there are trees, and the pollution is relatively less.

The situation in Handan is very serious, the trauma of the war, and the blind expansion of the scale of the iron works, coupled with the lack of scientific and reasonable planning, directly led to the pollution of Handan City by the Handan Iron Works, and this pollution situation did not attract the attention of the Zhao government, and even if it did, I am afraid that the Zhao government would not be able to come up with funds to improve this situation. Therefore, pollution can only be further exacerbated.
