Chapter 30: Basic Industries
The cultivation base was built in only a week, and the cultivation base was fully enclosed, with its own personnel on the platform, and even Xia Jun could not enter it.
The cultivation method of rice seeds is very simple, that is, the rice of high-yield rice can be processed and then continued to be planted, but Xia Jun obviously does not have it in hand.
Therefore, it is still exchanged from the system, but the exchange price is very low, and 1 point can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of uncultivated rice.
Xia Jun immediately exchanged 1 million kilograms of rice and sent it to the cultivation base for cultivation, and the first batch of rice seeds was quickly cultivated.
"Lao Lin, don't worry about running out of rice seeds in the future, there is this cultivation base, and you can have as many as you want in the future." Xia Jun said to Lin Debao.
Lin Debao said happily: "Now there is no need to make trouble about the division of rice seeds. ”
Recently, Lin Debao has been in a big trouble, looking at the bags of rice seeds in front of him, how can he not be overjoyed, how can he, the Minister of Agriculture, be so easy to be.
Xia Jun also recently gave him a task, that is, to count the agricultural and forestry resources in Xixiang, and cut down 50% of those self-growing forests.
Cut down the timber of the self-growing forest for papermaking, after cutting, the mountain is planted with bamboo and fir trees, about 40% of the farmland in Fujian is concentrated in the coastal coastal plain, and the northwest of Fujian has more than 60% of the forest land resources, the economy of the northwest of Fujian is still based on the development of forest land, and the processing of those timber is money.
Xia Jun currently lacks a lot of basic industries, such as steel mills, cement plants, sand quarries, quarries, in order to figure out the distribution of resources, Xia Jun had to exchange the resource distribution map of northern Fujian on the platform, this distribution map is very expensive, just in northern Fujian, it takes 50,000 points.
Xia Jun, who had just invested 1 million points to build a level 4 high-yield rice cultivation base, had very few points at this time, although the efficiency of this week's bandit suppression was good, but Xia Jun only had 120,000 points left in his hands.
However, Xia Jun doesn't have any geology experts, so where can he explore.
I can only pinch my nose and admit it, so Xia Jun spent 50,000 points to buy the 'Level 4 Northern Fujian Resource Distribution Map', resource exploration is divided into 4 levels, level 4 is the lowest level, the detection will not be too comprehensive, and those more masked minerals will not be detected.
After getting the distribution map, Xia Jun was pleasantly surprised to find that there were three small iron mines, two small coal mines, a small phosphate mine, and a huge limestone vein.
There are also gold, silver, copper and other mines, but the distribution is relatively scattered, and the reserves are relatively small.
There is iron ore, you can open a steel plant to produce steel bar, limestone can be used to produce cement, coal can be used to make urea (nitrogen fertilizer), phosphate rock can be used to make phosphate fertilizer, but unfortunately there is no potash ore, China's potash ore reserves are not much, and future generations need to import.
There is cement, steel bar, sand and gravel in the industry, and a lot of infrastructure can be built, and the most urgent need is roads.
Nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers can increase crop yields if there are nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers in agriculture. 、
At the same time, Xia Jun also needs an arsenal, at least to be self-sufficient in bullets, grenades and other things, once the army expands to a certain extent, bullets are also very costly.
Xia Jun has been crossing for more than half a year, and he also has a comprehensive understanding of the exchange platform, and the royal way of exchange is not to directly exchange eggs, but to directly exchange hens.
Even if something is cheaper, it is not as cost-effective as producing it yourself, and points are used to redeem those key technologies and equipment.
You even need to leave some points behind to deal with the possible changes in the war.
What Xia Jun needs is nothing more than three aspects, on the one hand, finance, which has a paper mill and a cigarette factory that is expected to be built to earn profits for him, and now that the rice seed cultivation base for high-yield rice has also been built, it should not be a problem financially for the time being.
The second aspect is basic industry, Fujian's transportation is so poor, the infrastructure needs to be overhauled, at least the roads must be improved. This requires building materials, such as steel, cement, and sand. Energy is also needed, which requires electricity generation.
The third aspect is the military industry, at least there is no technical surname for bullets, grenades, etc., and there are things that are in huge demand that can be met by production.
Quarries and sand quarries don't need any technical surnames, Xia Jun directly exchanged the equipment of the quarry and the sand mining ship, and quickly selected the location of the quarrying and sand quarrying.
The quarry is in Saigo, and there are many places where you can quarry in Saigo. The sand mining ship operates in Jianxi (the three major tributaries of the Minjiang River), that is, the Jianxi River channel of the East Peak and the East Tour.
The sand mining ship and quarrying equipment only cost Xia Jun more than 5,000 points, and he exchanged it for twenty sand mining ships and enough equipment for five quarries.
Xia Jun did not exchange leading equipment, but ordinary equipment and sand mining ships.
At present, there is no shortage of labor in China, and the benefit of leading equipment is to save labor, but since China has a demographic dividend, not all factories need to use leading equipment.
In addition, the opening of factories is not limited to Xixiang, the entire northern Fujian can be opened everywhere, who dares to find fault?
Immediately afterwards, Xia Jun successively built steel plants, cement plants, and fertilizer plants, except for some equipment of steel plants and cement plants that adopted leading levels, and the others were ordinary equipment.
But these ordinary devices are also the best kind of this era.
These small factories don't spend much points, and they only use Xia Jun's 150,000 points in total.
The cement plant can produce 100,000 tons of cement a year, and the cement quality is higher. Iron and steel mills use converters for steelmaking, not open-hearth furnaces.
The production capacity of the converter is higher than that of the open-hearth, and more importantly, the converter uses electricity, not coal.
This small converter steelmaking plant cost Xia Jun 50,000 points and can produce 10,000 tons of steel per year.
However, the equipment was exchanged, but except for the quarry, sand mining ship, cement plant, and phosphate fertilizer plant, which were put into operation, the nitrogen fertilizer plant and the steel plant were not put into operation for a long time.
There is no other reason than a shortage of people.
The design of the nitrogen fertilizer plant was due to the chemical problem, and Xia Jun found that this advanced equipment required a high level of education to work.
The arsenal has no conditions, because there are no raw materials.
Due to the opening of those factories, Xia Jun felt the financial pressure, and the cement factory, phosphate fertilizer factory, quarrying, and sand mining were not for export, and these things were all for his own construction.
When something is produced, it is natural to use it for construction, but construction costs money! If you don't build it, and the factory is put there to play, it is naturally very uneconomical.
The workers of these factories, as well as the mining workers, needed more than 2,000 people, and the wages were three silver dollars a month, and they had to spend 6,000 silver dollars a month.
In addition, when Liu Jinshan comes next time, he may pull a large number of people.
Xia Jun still has to run a school, and he has to pay subsidies and high salaries, and his finances are insufficient. In terms of points, as the second-line troops have spread farther and farther, and the pressure on logistics and supplies is also increasing in the case of not very smooth transportation, the next step is to build roads, and the point income through the suppression of bandits will become less and less, because bandits are fighting less and less.
Therefore, Xia Jun once again put the expansion of the administrative region on the plan.
The more regions are included in the administrative scope, the more points will be awarded to the people, and at the same time, the promotion of high-yield rice, pumping 100 kilograms of rice per mu, can also solve the financial problem.
At this time, the necessary conditions for the countryside to surround the city were already in place, and now Xia Jun had the seeds of high-yielding rice and trained the first batch of administrators.
These administrative personnel are not very lacking, those ordinary cultural people are not uncommon, Xia Jun opened such a high salary, giving 10 silver dollars a month, naturally they flocked here.
Zhang Sigou recruited more than 30 people to Xixiang in Jian'an County, and all of them were sent to the administrative training class, and the autonomy of cloning Xixiang was no longer a problem.
As a result, Xia Jun appointed the first batch of directors of the autonomous region, a total of eight people, and divided the entire northern Fujian into eight regions, which adopted the same system and the same strategy as Xixiang.
Each area is distributed with a platoon of troops, and this platoon no longer goes to other places to suppress bandits, but is fully responsible for suppressing bandits in its own area, and must clean up the bandits.
The Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Intelligence also need to be expanded, and the administrative expansion requires the Ministry of Propaganda to strengthen propaganda, and at the same time, the Ministry of Intelligence must monitor the movements of the local government.
The directors of the eight autonomous regions were dispatched at the end of April, each with five administrative staff, and one platoon of troops to work together.
At the same time, Xia Jun expanded the administrative training course and continued to recruit literati into the training course, and his administrative system was not complicated, mainly the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Agriculture.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for registering household registration and helping households in need.
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for upholding justice, and to put it bluntly, the main purpose is to crack down on local tyrants, and there are indeed some local tyrants who are unkind to the rich, and these local tyrants must be resolutely defeated.
The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for guiding agricultural production, but there is not much to guide them, at most to teach farmers how to use fertilizers.
At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture is also responsible for distributing high-yielding rice seeds, and is responsible for extracting the remuneration for high-yielding rice seeds, and 100 kilograms of rice need to be handed over after harvest.
When promoting rice seeds, the Ministry of Agriculture will sign an agreement with the farmers who receive the rice seeds, and if the rice does not meet the expected yield, it does not need to be handed over, including natural factors such as disasters.
Except for 100 kilograms of rice for growing high-yielding rice, there are no other taxes.
