Chapter 154: Heavy Industry in the Great Song Dynasty
After Li Yibai went back, he told Miss Gong Er about it. ↖
'What. Yizhu wants to marry Ryugo. This is absolutely not a no-go. Long Wu is your son, and Yizhu is your sister. They got married, and this is **. ’
Miss Gong Er, who had read a lot of books on etiquette, immediately objected.
However, they are not related by blood, if they really love each other sincerely. Let us make them perfect. ’
Li Yibai persuaded.
'No, I can't. It just doesn't work. If this happens, it's an ugly thing. I will not allow this to happen. ’
Miss Gong Er continued to say resolutely.
'Okay. However, I haven't asked Ryugo's opinion yet. Maybe Ryugo doesn't like her. Li Yibai said lightly.
At this time, a man hurriedly ran up and shouted, 'Boss, congratulations.' Our roads are open to traffic. ’
'Really. That's great. So that I can ship more factories over. ’
Li Yibai said with a smile.
The elevator suggested, 'Boss, we should move over some light industry factories first. As for heavy industry, other natural gas explorations are completed and are underway.
After all, heavy industry needs a lot of fuel, and we certainly can't do it with electricity alone. There is also heavy industry that is very polluting, and we still have to be cautious. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "You're right. You immediately take someone to level the land in the industrial park. I'm going to move a textile mill soon.
There are many benefits to textile mills. There is a lot of cotton in the Great Song Dynasty. Textile mills can produce locally. The textile mill has a high work efficiency and can quickly produce good cloth. Then we sell all over the country. ’
Just do what you say. Li Yibai summoned Long Wu and lifted the space-time teleportation ability halfway.
He regained his ability to teleport in time and space. This time, he took Ryugo to the United States with him.
On the way to the United States to acquire a textile mill. Li Yibai asked Long Wu quietly.
'Dragon Five. Do you like a bead? ’
Long Wuyi was stunned. 'Daddy. Do you mean sister-in-law? ’
Of course it's her. ’
But she's a sister-in-law. How dare I like her. ’
You forget that you are her nephew. I just want you to be teenagers. Would you like her? Would you have feelings for her? You tell me. I won't blame you. ’
I don't know. I'm so old, but I've never been in a relationship. The doll that my father set for me died young. After my dad died, I was busy with business and didn't go on a blind date. ’
'Huh. I also got married very late. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you get married sooner or later, the key is to find someone you love. ’
I really can't tell. I don't hate my sister-in-law either. But I like it, and I'll say it too. ’
Li Yibai smiled faintly and helped the steering wheel, "Forget it." I'm not going to ask you. I'm just telling you. You're the same age as her, and if you really like it, you're together. I wouldn't object to that. You don't have to be afraid of anything. ’
After a short conversation, the two came to a large textile factory.
After entering the factory, the two met with the factory director.
When the director of the textile factory saw Li Yibai coming, he hurriedly stood up and invited,
'You two may be seated. I listened to Mr. Yu Hao introduce you early. ’
After Li Yibai and Long Wu sat down, Li Yibai smiled faintly, "The factory director is not welcome. I'm here to buy your factory. Presumably Yu Hao also told you. ’
The director of the textile mill smiled slyly, 'This. Mr. Yu Hao said. But now our factory is running well and has outstanding performance. It's not to the point where you have to buy it. So'
Li Yibai is such a smart person, and said with a faint smile. "We have a lot of money, so the factory director, you should sell it." I promise you won't suffer. ’
The director of the textile mill continued to pretend to be in ink, "But our performance is really good. Our production lines are the most advanced in the world today, and they are by no means comparable to Chinese cottage factories. I'm afraid we can't sell. ’
Li Yibai is such a smart person, he can see that the factory director just wants to raise the price. If you want to hack him in the business, how is this possible.
Only Li Yibai has always won others, and no one has ever won Li Yibai.
'Director, we have investigated, and the price we give you is absolutely generous. You still can't ink like this, you just want to hit us hard. Long Wu said directly.
But the director of the textile factory is still inked, and he still pretends not to sell.
Li Yibai smiled faintly, "Director, when I came, I found that there are a lot of illegal immigrants here, who must have been smuggled from China." If your factories are all Americans, you simply can't afford to pay such high wages.
So you're bound to use most of the smuggled laborers. If I report to USCIS that you are illegally hosting illegal workers. Not only will your factory be shut down, but you will also be caught and jailed, and you will also pay a large fine, which is estimated to be not enough to pay the fine. ’
Hearing Li Yibai say this, the director of the textile factory was anxious. He immediately relented.
'Don't. Other. Mr. Li, we have something to say. ’
Li Yibai smiled contemptuously, "I'll tell you the truth." I will give you face by taking your factory. Otherwise, I will forcibly move out, and you will have nothing to say. Everybody knows I'm a master magician, and I want to force your factory to move away, it's a piece of cake. ’
The director of the textile mill became even more alarmed. 'Don't. Other. Mr. Li, I sell. I know what you're capable of. ’
Long Wu also smiled faintly, "You know each other." If we move your factory, even if you call the police, the police will have no evidence to arrest us. So it's better for you to be honest and obedient. ’
'I promise you everything. I sell. The director of the textile mill began to pray.
Li Yibai threw over a check. 'This is a check from our bank. You can exchange US dollars at any time at a white bank. Still, it's better where you deposit. Because the interest rate there is relatively high. ’
After the two bought the factory, they kept a few skilled workers, as they did several times. Then they moved the entire factory to an industrial park in the Northern Song Dynasty.
As soon as the factory landed, it was quickly connected to the power by the elevator. The textile mill was put into operation.
Xiaoqiang recruited another 500 workers. Li Yibai did a good job, and the traveling merchants near Lin'an were all recruited. This time, Li Yibai recruited ordinary farmers.
These peasants could already be taxed with silver. Because Li Yibai's factory gives high wages. Therefore they count the land desolate. It doesn't matter. Anyway, you can earn more money from working part-time than farming.
The workers are being trained by five skilled workers. After half a month, many workers have learned.
Xiaoqiang also purchased a large amount of cotton from the local area. At the same time, the guys were ordered to buy cotton from the surrounding areas as well.
Because the industrial park built by Li Yibai and the highway leading to the Qiantang River were opened to traffic. Their shipping was smooth. The truck drove directly to the Qiantang River wharf. There are large ships carrying cotton on the docks. The whole shipload of cotton was transported back to the factory.
The factory is constantly rotating day and night, and production is very fast.
Soon a lot of fine cotton cloth was produced. These cotton cloths are strong and are produced quickly. It takes a woman half a month to spin to make a piece of cloth.
The factory production line, only half an hour. That's just too fast. The workers of the Northern Song Dynasty were taken aback.
After these fabrics were produced, some of them were first sold in Li Yibai's shop. Of course, the consumption capacity of the Lin'an area is limited.
So Li Yibai ordered them to be shipped to all parts of the country to be sold.
Moreover, the price of cotton cloth is set very low, because Li Yibai's production is efficient and the output is very high, so the price can be set low.
The price of Li Yi's white cotton cloth is lower. caused vendors from all over the country to compete for Li Yibai's goods.
Every day, Li Yibai's goods are collected and distributed at the end of the highway one by one.
It has become one of the largest cotton cloth trading markets in the country.
Everywhere people come and go every day, vendors from all over the country are there. They have the surroundings of Lin'an. In the vicinity of Lin'an, after they bought the cloth, they transported it to Jiangbei through the bridge of the hydropower station and sold it to Jiangning, Suzhou and other places.
Traders from other parts of the country came by boat. They shipped the cloth directly through the sea to the whole country.
At the end of the highway, the land had already been bought by Li Yibai.
Where did Li Yibai build a market? Everyone has to pay a fee to enter the market. And houses were built around the market. These houses are buildings.
The market is because of human traffic. So those houses are expensive and the prices are high. But the wealthy businessmen from all over the country didn't care.
In order to facilitate their rest, they have bought houses here.
The surrounding people saw that Li Yibai made a lot of money according to this method. They were all impressed.
"Li Jieyuan is really tall. ’
'yes. We didn't think of that. The house will appreciate in value so quickly. ’
'Huh. You can't do it if you think about it. Do you know how much this concrete road costs? ’
'yes. It's not something I can do. We can only envy it. ’
The construction of the highway. Many people in Lin'an have also benefited a lot. They all love to walk on the road. Because the road is smooth and solid. On rainy days, there is no fear of slippery roads. And there is no dust during the day.
In ancient times. Because the roads are all dirt roads, if many people walk on them, or if there are horses running on them. There was dust everywhere on the side of the road.
Therefore, this idiom is expected to be beyond the reach of the dust in ancient times.
It is said that when the emperor traveled, he had to sprinkle water and spread loess.
This was all to prevent the emperor from eating the dust.
Now there is no dust on the road. The people were very happy, and they all thanked Li Yibai for building this highway.
At the same time, they also petitioned for Li Yibai to build more roads.
Li Yibai greeted everyone,
'It's a good thing to build more roads. I want to do it too. I'm sure you've heard it on the radio. I'm going to build a new Lin'an plan. I want to build all the infrastructure in Lin'an.
In the future, these infrastructures will be as convenient for you as this road.
But I need everyone's support to build these. At the same time, we hope that you will actively participate in our infrastructure fund. ’
The people applauded when they heard Li Yibai say this.
At this time, Long Wu whispered in Li Yibai's ear, "Dad." I think we can also set aside some shares in infrastructure construction to attract private funds. ’
Li Yibai said, "We'll discuss this matter after we go back." ’
After going back.
Ryugo said, 'Dad. If we have private funds coming in for our infrastructure construction, we can save a lot of money. ’
Li Yibai said, "However, our main funds now are only in the wages of workers, and most of the factories and materials are still imported from the United States. We import from the United States, and we need to use US dollars. And Da Song's money can't be used at all. ’
That's right. But we can develop heavy industry. I think it is imperative to develop heavy industry, otherwise we will not be able to make the whole economy work. At present, our textile factory belongs to the light industry, which can solve the problem of dressing the people. But without heavy industry, we would have to import materials for our infrastructure construction from the United States, which is too costly. Long Wu said seriously.
'Hmm. You're right. It's just that I've been thinking about environmental protection all the time. We need steel mills, and without them, we wouldn't be able to make steel pipes. We need steel pipes to lay water pipes. We also need steel pipes to build buildings.
and the production of wires. We need to lay out the network. These are things that need to be done by heavy industry. ’
'Daddy. I looked at some eco-friendly books. As long as heavy industry is well controlled, it is not as polluting as it is. The atmosphere itself has a self-purifying function. The atmosphere has the same purifying function as water. We control the number of steel mills and use natural gas to make steel as much as possible. This protects the environment. ’
Long Wu added.
'Hmm. This is something that must be done. However, heavy industry requires a lot of energy. We still sent people to explore the natural gas fields first, and developed the natural gas well. Then do it.
I need to import natural gas pipelines from the United States, but we should have enough money for this project. It is better if we find a natural gas field close to the river.
So we built a steel plant near the gas field. This reduces the length of the pipe. This saves money.
At that time, the steel produced by our steel mills will be able to be transported down the Yangtze River to all parts of the country.
And the benefits of doing so are numerous.
First, we need to spend a lot of money to build railways and roads in the early stage. We simply can't build an inter-provincial rail network. And we go by water, which can save us a lot of money in the early days.
Second, the cost of water transportation is obviously less expensive than land transportation, because where the Yangtze River is downstream, even wooden boats can easily transport it. Steel is a very heavy thing, and it is difficult for ordinary cars to transport much if they are transported by land, unless they are transported by train. And the ship is very powerful, and it is a minimum load of thousands of tons. So water transport saves money. ’
'Dad, that's a great thing you said. It seems that these are all ideas that you have already thought of. It's just that you didn't say it. Then I'll go to the United States and find some energy exploration experts and ask them to help us find natural gas. We must build the first natural gas oil field in the Great Song Dynasty. ’
Long Wu said excitedly. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
ps: I didn't recommend it next week, I wanted to get it recommended next week, that's my only motivation. Pity. So today I wrote very slowly, and I lost my motivation at all. Write 10,000 words a day, and the subscription has gone up a little bit. I feel that there is a big gap between the pay and the return, and it has been very painful, and now I am stunned not to give. There is nothing more to say.
