Near Qian Hu's house, there are constantly people talking loudly, as if they are fighting for something, the sunset has set, the sunset on the head looks extremely beautiful, and it always makes people forget to return, Yang Yuanzhao likes this sunset very much, and every time he has free time, he will sit on the roof and watch the sunset.

Qian Hu's house, in the eyes of Yang Yuanzhao, is far from beautiful, but the simplest application of cement materials, thick, warm, tidy, this is the design concept of its small courtyard, maybe in the future, for cement applications, will turn out flowers, but this kind of house is still the simplest, easiest to build, in the village, any construction team, pull out a bunch of people, you can build, you don't even need design drawings, do not consider what mechanical structure and power balance issues, just a good material, Then the door is covered.

Perhaps, in a few months, in Baotou, a place that looks gray and abrupt, there will be a row of neat and bright three-storey small western-style buildings, which may become a new business card of Baotou.

Da Han came almost all the way to the trot, panting and handed Yang Yuanzhao a telegram, Yang Yuanzhao frowned, but still took the telegram, after reading it, his brows almost wrinkled a Sichuan character.

The telegram was sent by Harpy from Berlin, Germany, and it can be regarded as a good news, his telegram is not as economical as the telegram sent by Yang Yuanzhao, the rigor of the Germans, as far as possible with perfect and accurate words, describing the current situation, in the telegram, talking about the current progress, among them, said that the arrangement of 250 students, basically will be distributed in Germany's more famous science and engineering universities, the specific list and the placement of the college. It will be submitted in a special report at the forthcoming.

Higher education is what Yang Yuanzhao attaches more importance to. He already knew that tungsten was a big killer, as long as there were suitable channels. It is logical to provide tungsten to the military industrial group, and arrange these students, the key is to learn something, which depends on their personal efforts, this group of students, is the beginning of studying in Germany, is a seed, whether it will be able to blossom and bear fruit in the future, or when. That batch of blossoms and fruits, this is all uncertain things, which requires continuous investment.

In addition to the student's business, the most important thing is the imported machine, a complete industrial system, which requires a large number of machines, Yang Yuanzhao has gone around the country before to copy it, plus this time ordered. It can only be said that it is to lay a foundation for industrialization.

On the list, there are most of the categories, and there are a lot of machines, and the tasks have been overfulfilled. The completion degree of the machine equipment is more than 120%, basically reaching the whole industry and all categories. However, there is a slight concern. He still brought it up, and that was the problem of transportation.

Harpy specifically mentioned. This time, the number of machines is huge, especially those second-hand equipment purchased at a low price, they all represent 10 years, or even the previous concept, bulky, durable, they may be in Europe, nothing, but in China, the poor traffic environment, is a huge obstacle.

Transportation, Baotou now, a poor and white, traffic is even more difficult, not the Zhengtai line and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway under construction, maybe within a few hundred kilometers, there is no railway, that is really a poor mountain and bad water.

According to Harpy's prediction, the 10,000-ton cargo ship hired by Germany will pass directly to Shanghai, through the relationship between Guò German and American foreign companies, and transfer to small river ships, along the Yangtze River, all the way to Wuhan, which is basically water transportation, with a traffic capacity of more than 3,000 tons, so that the equipment will arrive in Wuhan, there are almost no problems, at most, there may be a delay in the middle.

The next road is not easy to walk, the Pinghan Railway Yellow River Railway Bridge is a big difficulty, a little slower, the traffic capacity is poor, it is impossible to pass at full capacity, in this way, it will further delay the time when these equipment arrives in Baotou, but these are just a matter of time and patience, and then after arriving in Taiyuan, it is a real test of whether it can be transported to the problem.

The transportation of large equipment and complete sets of equipment, even in the future, is a big problem that needs to be solved, some large materials, must be transported by special vehicles, and then pass in the specially planned road, otherwise, the bridge can not accept, can not turn, to go out of big trouble, maybe it will be lost on the road.

Only a set of 120,000 spindles of light industrial textile mill machine, has a weight of thousands of tons, some automation equipment, even more irregular, which has a huge test for transportation, chemical and heavy industry machine, conservative estimates, full of 5 10,000-ton freighters, is absolutely no problem, such a large number of top products, to transport Baotou, the difficulty is not ordinary

When in Shanghai, Yang Yuanzhao and Harpy determined the order, including several categories, from chemical industry to machine processing, light industry and a series of machines, each only one set, any piece of equipment can not be shipped, maybe, it means that an industry can not be carried out, although Yang Yuanzhao can go to the scene, copy things, this is not a long-term solution.

Traffic, now restricting Baotou the biggest problem is traffic, whether to build roads, how to build roads, this is a problem, and the railway is different, so many years, along with the development of the railway, most of the Chinese officials and landlords, has recognized that the railway can make money, the road is different, for thousands of years, China has maintained the official road and postal road, but these are the government for the lead construction, how to intervene in this field, relying on his own strength, is unlikely to succeed.

Yang Yuanzhao's aura is not ordinarily big, Da Han didn't dare to look at him silently, looking at his stern face, his heart beat a drum, he hadn't read this telegram, he didn't know what it was, Yang Yuanzhao, who was usually approachable, actually looked at this, and his face became solemn.

After a long time, Yang Yuanzhao suddenly spoke: "Go to Qian Hu and call Qian Hu over!" ”

"Yes!" Da Han ran away in a smoke, he knew Qian Hu's family, and he had seen him just now.

Qian Hu has been on a roller coaster for more than a month, and his mood can be said to be like a roller coaster, up and down, ready to be used as a residential site. It was requisitioned by Yang Yuanzhao without any warning and used to verify cement. This new thing is real yàn again. He didn't want to be an experiment, no matter how much he objected, it had no effect, so he had to let him build, fortunately, the cement had an excellent effect, so that he was relieved, the house was built well, not completely completed, it can already be seen that it is strong and durable. He is a little man who has just had some money, and what other requirements do he have.

You know, there are 8 rooms on the first floor, a large living room as the main hall, and then there are two small rooms on each side, a kitchen and a toilet, but this is enough for his family to live, and the upper three floors are almost carved out of a mold. Coupled with stairs and corridors, the area is extremely spacious, not to mention a family. All three families are fine.

The key thing is that the construction of this house has attracted the attention of many people. Qian Hu pulled up a construction team, and the biggest project was the construction of a cement plant. Only some shops pù expansion work, sewing and patching. The business is good, he doesn't make much, in addition to wages, what he can earn, that is, a few pieces of land, Baotou's most purchasing power of many landlords, are still waiting, they are like landlords in other parts of China, they have money in their hands, they are not willing to spend it, they always have to compare gains and losses.

The construction of the three-storey small building, all at once conquered everyone, especially the scene of Erniu wielding a hammer, lingering in everyone's hearts, a sturdy man, wielding a huge hammer, smashed for half an hour, the house was not damaged at all, just exposed a little steel bar, but he was on the hand, the tiger's mouth of both hands was broken, this strength of the stone is no different, thinking of their own house, maybe it can be integrated, solid and beautiful, these landlords are excited, have sent an invitation to Qian Hu.

Order, just similar to the order of their own house, at least the next dozen, business-minded Qian Hu, has long asked about the approximate price, steel needs an all-in-one machine, for the time being, Yang Yuanzhao topped the highest price in China, cement is the same as Qixin ash factory, in this way, the cost of a house, is only about twice as high as the brick tile house, you know, this can build three floors, in terms of the area of the house, this house is more economical.

When all the steel columns and iron sheets are removed, the interior is painted with lime and a small amount of cement mixture, and the outside is hung with fine cement, the whole house, no bricks can be seen at all, neatly aligned, extremely beautiful, a room has several large windows, a full set of glass windows, plus the wooden door of the carpentry carefully made zuò, it is to attract all the eyeballs, even those landlords who live in the ancestral house, are also measuring, is it near Baotou, get a piece of land, build such a house, not to mention beautiful, the most important thing is to live conveniently.

The orders were getting more and more, and when he saw that the money seemed to be pouring towards him, Qian Hu didn't let Yang Yuanzhao sneak over, and the purpose of letting him come was very simple, that is, to repair the road.

Building roads, that's right, is to build roads, the traffic situation in Baotou is really too poor, a little outrageous, even the center of the town is also potholes, it is no wonder, Baotou is a small place, after the development of commerce, cultivated many millions, even tens of millions of big families, but Baotou itself, is unable to retain wealth.

The roads of this era, most of them are loess roads, once it rains a few times, of course, they are potholes, and a few rich people can choose bluestone roads, such as Taiping with the help of the four Jin merchants, directly use the mountains to collect bluestone to build roads, so as to show their toughness.

Bluestone has to be specially collected, polished and paved, so the price is extremely high, that is, Taiping and a few areas in China, most of the other places, are gravel roads, or sand roads, dirt roads. These roads have a huge shortcoming, even the strongest bluestone road, will become potholes because of landslides or heavy rain and many other reasons, with the passage of time, this potholes, will gradually aggravate, unless the bluestone is replaced, refilled, which will be very stressful for maintenance.

Yang Yuanzhao is now unable to achieve the high-grade asphalt road of later generations, asphalt is a petrochemical derivative, this era, is still in the research stage of the real yàn room, as for natural asphalt, sorry, this thing is not much in China, even if it is oil China, there is no way to popularize it for the time being, but after the cement plant completes the meeting, you can choose the cement road, cement is relative to asphalt, the price is a little expensive, but this era can be selected, the cement produced by the cement plant, the label is not very high, cement with steel sand and stones, The reinforced concrete, which is comparable to stone, is used to build roads, and of course it will be very strong and smooth.

Smoothness and solidity are the key to Yang Yuanzhao, he needs to use such a model cement road to open an era of transportation, just like Qian Hu building a house, with a strong demonstration effect, empty mouth and white teeth, are not as good as real examples. When the traffic and transportation capacity reaches a certain level, it will promote the development of commerce from the side, and if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which is not just talk.

After thousands of years of feudal society, the character of the Chinese is conservative and restrained, but it does not mean that the Chinese are stupid, do not rush for money, many landlords, are a copy of Grande, deducting every cent of funds, earning as much as possible.

Qian Hu's face, once again turned into a bitter gourd, this time Yang Yuanzhao's plan is very big, at least in his opinion, this road is not long, that is, more than ten kilometers of appearance, from the center of Baotou Town, a total of two, one extends to the cement plant, when built, it will start from the cement plant, all the way to Baotou, the other way, choose to go to the future industrial park, 20 square kilometers of land, need four vertical and three horizontal roads, there is also a ring outside, but all the road repair work, the heaviestBecause of the relationship between four verticals and three horizontals, the total mileage adds up to almost forty or fifty kilometers.

In the eyes of later generations, forty or fifty kilometers of highways are not high-grade highways, at best, they can only be regarded as a village-to-village connection, such a road, a town or even a village in later generations can promote the construction, not to mention Yang Yuanzhao, who controls huge funds and resources.

But in Qian Hu's eyes, it is a real big project, the thickness of the cement must reach 60 centimeters, a huge road surface seven meters wide, which is almost the widest road he can know.

Such a difficult project, Yang Yuanzhao contracted all the materials and wages, food and housing are in charge, and he can even get a certain amount of profit, but no matter how it is compared, it can't be compared with building a house, building a house is short and fast, and you will get money when you build it, and build roads, 100 miles of land, God knows how long it will be repaired.

Under Yang Yuanzhao's gaze, Qian Hu's mouth opened, and he wanted to say something to refuse, but in the end he spit out, but he agreed, Qian Hu's qiē was basically given by Yang Yuanzhao, he could give it, and he could take it, isn't it just to build a road, just like building a house, maybe follow the boss, and be able to find a way to make money.
