Chapter 37 Pilot planning and opening of factories
Now that cement has been made, it has also solved the doubts in the hearts of the Chinese military officials, but how to promote the cement as an object and ensure profit, but it will not be stolen by other countries, this matter is indeed a difficult problem.
But such a problem, although Zhao Dezhao can make a statement, but after all, it is related to the overall situation, so everything has to be discussed before making a decision, and Zhao Kuangyin also felt that his head was big, and agreed to act after consultation with hundreds of officials.
After two days of court meeting, the imperial court finally made a decision, first as a pilot in the capital, and then recruit businessmen near Kaifeng to invest in cement, directly by the imperial court vertical management, the management of people have the imperial court dispatch apportionment, financial and tax revenue by the household management, engineering construction under the management of the Ministry of Industry, and the businessman must be innocent, the ancestors of the three generations did not be officials.
Zhao Kuangyin thought about it again and again, and the imperial court sent some forbidden troops to be stationed near the cement factories jointly run by various officials and businessmen, in order to protect the secrets of cement from being leaked, and placed the veterans of the forbidden army eliminated in the first year of Jianlong in the cement factory, and at the same time Zhao Kuangyin sent a group of forbidden troops to guard those factories regularly to prevent omissions, and let them do all kinds of chores, so that they can not only solve their employment problems, but also feed the people in the family, and these people are loyal and loyal to protect the family and defend the country, and the court is naturally the most assured.
Zhao Dezhao also sent spies from Changchun Hall and Feique to prevent anyone from obstructing them.
So not to mention a small cement factory, in fact, it plays a very big role, this time the imperial court also deliberately went to their military registration, allowing their descendants to participate in the imperial examination, and appropriately increased some treatment.
At this time, a major incident occurred in a cement factory in the west of the city, and then after the imperial court investigated, it was said that it was found that the spy of the Han State was found, so the boss of the cement factory was invited by Zhao Kuangyin to drink tea, and from then on it was not allowed to operate cement anymore, and the treacherous rules were corrected on the spot, fortunately, the formula of cement was in the hands of the imperial court, and this matter also shocked the bosses of other cement factories, and since then they have been doing things in peace.
With the construction of the cement factory, the renovation plan of the capital also began, and some craftsmen and civilian servants began to build the sewers of Kaifeng, push them to dilapidated houses to build new cement houses, repair the city walls, and strengthen the embankments on both sides of the Kaifeng River.
The second most sensational is the homelike villa complex outside the city.
This time, Zhao Dezhao spent a lot of money in the homeinn, and he asked the skilled craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty to start building steel bars, firing tiles and red bricks according to his construction ideas and drawings, and began to build the first villa according to the process of building villas in later generations.
In the past few days, the headline news of Kaifeng is that the imperial court issued an official document to attract investment from private businessmen, and then the government and businessmen jointly operated a cement factory, which is said to be a good choice to build houses, strengthen embankments, build city walls, and build roads.
And at this moment, businessmen gathered in Kaifeng, heard about this, and also felt that it was an opportunity, if it was to cooperate with the official family to operate cement, there were a lot of benefits, although the conditions were harsh, but maybe it was also an opportunity for the family to take off.
In Kaifeng City, Liu Fang, the owner of Liu's charcoal shop, also fell in love with this opportunity, last time he had not met with Liang Wang Chitose, nor had he ever discussed business matters, missed an opportunity, and the last time Liang Wang Chitose sent to Liuqiu's fleet, one of which was his own, was a disguised climb to the dragon and the phoenix.
It is reported that this cement supervision is led by King Chitose of Liang, and then the court did it, today's things are all proposed by the prince, and finally passed the resolution of the court's civil and military officials, and decided to carry out a pilot in Kaifeng, and the merchants of several states and counties near Kaifeng can participate in this matter, the conditions are harsh, and he also read it from the official document issued by the imperial court, but for businessmen, interests are the first, and although he Liu Fang pursues interests first, he never does anything that ignores his conscience, so this time the Liu family also wants to share a piece of the imperial court.
And the same is true of Sun Ruhai of Sun's charcoal shop, other businessmen have gathered in the capital, and the government will come forward to select them in the business conference, and only qualified people can get the opening official document of the imperial court.
After several times, the Sun and Liu families got the indicators of the imperial court.

During this period, Zhao Dezhao was not lazy, he designed the style of modern villas on the drawings, and the new construction of these villas was selected in Homeinn outside the city, which is one of his fiefdoms and one of the bases for the cement product test.
On the first day of construction, first in the selection of a place, and then break the ground to excavate, dig out a deep pit, first to fix the foundation, pour the foundation, the column head is cast-in-situ, the surrounding bricks masonry, the floor can now only take the structure of the prefabricated plate upwards, and for the sake of insurance, temporarily build a two-and-a-half-story villa.
When building the villa on the construction site, Zhao Dezhao followed the plan, and then drummed up some drawings of objects, such as flush toilets, urinals, water pipes, faucets, tiles, glass windows, guardrails and other building materials, in addition to sofas and so on.
When the craftsmen and blacksmiths who were the supervisors got Zhao Dezhao's drawings, they were all dumbfounded, they had never seen any of these objects, Zhao Dezhao then introduced the principle of use of these items to them one by one, under his teaching over and over again, the craftsmen barely made some finished products, but Zhao Dezhao asked them to improve it again, and gave them a little sweetness, so that their children could go to the Sanwei Book House to study, these craftsmen naturally became more and more grateful, I started to do things more and more diligently and diligently, and I worked on them for more than a month before these things were successfully manufactured.
In this month, it became a home, a villa has been built one and a half floors, it seems that Zhao Dezhao is quite satisfied with his works, after all, in the previous life, basically the elderly people in the countryside were cement craftsmen, helping the villagers build houses, and when Zhao Dezhao's new house was built, he made efforts, and probably knew the steps of building houses.

At the same time, the cement factory jointly run by the government and business began to be responsible for the construction of Kaifeng City, and the government began to recruit laborers in the prefectures and counties around Kaifeng, and went to Kaifeng City to build and rebuild Kaifeng City, and the entire Kaifeng City began to be in full swing.
The entire imperial court system is like a big ship, and the personnel of each part of the ship are responsible for different things, and with the cooperation of various departments, the roads, city walls, houses, river embankments, and sewers of Kaifeng City are all under construction.
With the flow of people, the city of Kaifeng also became prosperous, and the night market became more prosperous, and then the whole market began to be broken, whether it was morning or night, the market was very active. There is a constant flow of people in the restaurants, inns, and teahouses in Tokyo City, and the hottest topic lately is cement.
In the wine shop, a bunch of people were crowded there, and at this time Tong Fuyin said: "Brother Bi, haven't you seen that the homeinn outside the city has built a one-story villa?" ”
"Yes, I just didn't expect cement to be used like that, it's really beyond my expectations!"
"Brother Junlin, my old man is so old, it's really an eye-opener."
"Oh! In the afternoon, Brother Dong and I went to ......"
“……”
With the increase in the flow of people, during this time, the city of Tokyo almost appeared in the crisis of food, due to the more people in Kaifeng, the consumption is huge, the price of grain in Kaifeng has also risen from 20 Wen 1 bucket to 30 or 40 Wen 1 bucket, and during this time, the migrant workers are busy repairing the river, digging the bucket canal, and entering Kaifeng because of the stranding, can only be delayed in Chenliu, and then transported the capital by rickshaw and other road vehicles.
And Zhao Kuangyin also feels that the grain consumption in Kaifeng is huge, it is the spring ploughing season at the moment, and the grain in Kaifeng is not enough, if you want to completely solve the food crisis, you must mobilize grain from several warehouses around, but this mobilization is not so simple. It is said that it is a stockpile of food, but in fact, some of it still supports the expenditure of armaments and armed forces.
In this way, we can only mobilize grain from Jianghuai and other places, that is, let the Cao transport ships start to mobilize some grain from Jiangnan.
Three months later, the first villa of the Great Song Dynasty had been built at this time, which reflected the perfect combination of East and West, and for the sake of stability, Zhao Dezhao deliberately built only two and a half floors of villas.
And in the villa, he asked people to follow his vision, like the villa of later generations, there are a lot of accessories in it, almost all of them should be, and other objects he will not let the craftsmen operate for the time being, and the scientific and technological strength of the Great Song Dynasty is limited, this society is still in the middle stage of feudal society, after all, some things are not realistic now.
What Zhao Dezhao is doing now is to let the society begin to produce the germination of capital, and with his ideas, he will slowly let a society transition to another stage, so some ideas may exceed this era, but they only make people in this era curious.

At this moment, on the Indochina Peninsula, a country, the Champa State, is now the seventh dynasty established here.
The climate here is very hot, and in the capital of the country, Indra Bula [now Cha Buckwheat], a king named Jaya Indravarman I said to his courtiers: "Ah, Amu Jackapple, take these tributes to the Song Kingdom, the Emperor of the Song Kingdom is our lucky one to occupy the city, and the Far North is our friend. The hateful Zhenla people have plundered our statue of the goddess of the local Managata, and the people of the Ding Dynasty are not friends of our country, this time you go to the Song Kingdom to pay tribute, bring the messenger of our Zhancheng, and make friends with the Great Song Kingdom, if you can get the help of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be great. Hahu-"
"Ah—Your Majesty the Lonely King, Aichen is willing to go to the Song Kingdom and take the rice, ivory, aloe vera, ironware, and coral of the city to complete the mission of His Majesty the Lonely King. Hahu-"
"Hahu, the Lone King has ordered the rebuilding of a statue of the goddess Yang Po Naga on the original site of the Po Tower, don't let the Lone King down!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, the king of Champa has sent several sea ships, starting from the capital Indra Buluo, crossing the South China Sea, crossing the Liuqiu Strait [Taiwan Strait], and after anchoring in Quanzhou for a day's supply, all the way north, into the East China Sea, from the mouth of the Yangtze River into the river, at this moment is setting sail from Yangzhou, along the Neihe River north, towards Kaifeng.
At this moment, the fleet is moored at the pier of Sizhou City.
