Chapter 12 The Beginning of the Industrial Zone

A month passed quickly, but the eldest grandson did not wait for the news from Du Yongkang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Changsun Tang sent Ge Feng to inquire, but said that Du Yongkang had never returned. This couldn't help but make Changsun Tang very worried.

This is no different place than other places, in the midst of a wilderness, where man has to deal with the beasts that nature has accumulated over hundreds of millions of years. There are still large predators such as leopards, and even enraged elephants are not up to the task.

But fortunately, there is no news so far. "No news is good news" is the sadness of the era of backward communications. It's not really good news, it's not bad news. The West is no worse than the Easterners in engaging in these idealisms.

After about half a month, Changsun finally waited for the news that Du Yongkang brought back. There is a place about fifteen miles away from here that is suitable for a steel mill.

"Yongkang, what are you?" When the eldest grandson saw Du Yongkang, he almost didn't recognize the ragged man in front of him. A specially made costume has almost no good parts.

"Oh, Master Hou, do you mean this dress?" Du Yongkang looked at the gaze of the eldest grandson and said calmly.

"This construction site is not far from Jinshan, how did you do this?" The momentary emotion in Changsun Tang's heart made him almost cry.

"It's not far, it's as far as fifty miles, and it's only a round trip in half a day, but it's still a bit time-consuming." Du Yongkang said.

"Then you go and rest first, tomorrow, no, we'll talk about these things the day after tomorrow. Go back and take a shower and get a good night's sleep. Although Changsun Tang was very anxious to know the final result, after all, Du Yongkang was a man, not a machine, and this steel mill was not in a hurry for a day or two.

"But, Master Hou, this ......" Du Yongkang didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, it's okay, get some sleep, we'll talk slowly when you're recuperate, I won't listen to anything you say today." As soon as the eldest grandson said, he asked Ge Feng to send Du Yongkang back to Du Yongkang's temporary residence.

Early in the morning of the third day, Du Yongkang stood in front of the eldest grandson in high spirits.

Du Yongkang, who was tidying up, looked very energetic, although his face was much darker than before, which was caused by the strong sunlight in the equatorial region. The face, which was originally somewhat fair, now has a healthy bronzer, and in some places the traces of the peeled skin are still there. After changing to the short sleeves here, the contrast at the wrist is very obvious.

"Yongkang, you came here so early, sit down and have some breakfast first." When Du Yongkang came, the eldest grandson had just finished exercising and was about to have breakfast. This eldest grandson's breakfast is millet porridge, fried dough sticks and steamed buns that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"Xiaolan, go and get Mr. Du the chopsticks." Xiaolan pursed her mouth and went down unhappy.

Since Wang Zixin became pregnant, the three people who originally ate together were left with only the eldest grandson.

"Master Hou, this is still unnecessary, the little one has already eaten it when he came over." Du Yongkang kept bowing slightly and said.

"What are you eating, so early?" The eldest grandson asked. Confucianism's emphasis on "eating without saying a word, sleeping without speaking" is not a matter of care, and I don't plan to be a gentleman, your set has no effect on me.

"It's similar to Hou Ye, it's soy milk and fritters." The industriousness of this country is unimaginable, these people who come out to set up stalls are similar to the father of **** Germany, although their sons have a lot of salary, but they really can't be idle and don't want to be a burden, they still try their best to create better conditions for the family.

"Those things are not a big deal, sit down and two buns at a time, these are three fresh, try it." The eldest grandson pointed to the small buns in the cage drawer and said.

This is a very small steamed bun, there are only seven very small buns on the very small cage drawer, the skin is thin and the filling is large, and when eating, it is dipped in an oil dish prepared with vinegar and chili oil, and the taste is Changsun Tang's favorite.

"Sit, sit down." Looking at Du Yongkang, who was still very restrained, the eldest grandson greeted him, but Du Yongkang refused to sit down at all.

"Young master, I've brought this bowl of chopsticks." Xiaolan angrily put the bowl of chopsticks on the dining table, and stopped taking care of the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson was a little embarrassed, which made Xiaolan go to the dishes and chopsticks at the same time, and asked her to bring another drawer of buns, but this Xiaolan lost her temper and pretended not to understand.

"Go, go and get a drawer for Mr. Du, and adjust some oil dishes by the way." The fire of the eldest grandson is also up, and he has not taken care of it in this house, and everyone has been working hard, but today this Xiaolan has done a little too much. Even if he has offended her, but now is not the time to shake his face, not to mention that this eldest grandson has not offended her in the past.

"Young master, this drawer of buns is a little cold, this is just hot, I'll bring it over." Xiaocui appeared just right, which solved Xiaolan's troubles, and also resolved the embarrassment of the eldest grandson.

"Come on, Mr. Du, try this, try this." The eldest grandson didn't care about these things now, and kept greeting Du Yongkang.

"I've really eaten this." Du Yongkang is really a little embarrassed.

"If you don't eat, then you go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." What Changsun Tang did was originally his own business, but now the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry. This Du Yongkang was anxious to jump up and down, but the eldest grandson was completely as if there was no such thing.

"This ......" Du Yongkang hesitated a little, seeing the resolute attitude of the eldest grandson, he didn't insist on anything, picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a small bun and ate it in one bite.

"Since you've eaten them all, sit down and eat, it's so uncomfortable to stand, and you haven't dipped in the sauce just now." Once an opening is opened, the rest of the things will be considered a matter of course, which is the same as the Yellow River breaking.

Du Yongkang hesitated slightly, and then sat down. This time, I really didn't wait for the eldest grandson to command, so I followed the example of the eldest grandson and ate the bun in a big gulp.

"How's it taste?" The eldest grandson asked.

"But it's not bad, it's all Hou Ye's ability to turn decay into magic for food, and this time I saw it." Du Yongkang said vaguely while eating steamed buns.

Seeing this, Changsun Tang's mood couldn't help but improve.

However, after eating a few buns, Du Yongkang stopped. Some hesitated.

"Mr. Du, what do you mean by stopping? Do you think there's something wrong with this bun? The eldest grandson asked.

Du Yongkang hurriedly returned and said: "It's not, it's just that I think of my old mother who is far away in Hebei, I am feasting here, and I don't know how her old man is now." ”

The eldest grandson heard such a thing, but there was no good way, and the idea that the homeland was inseparable was a deep imprint in the thoughts of every descendant of Yan and Huang. I had to comfort: "This time the fleet is going to Chang'an again, and I will let them go and pick up the old lady." ”

Du Yongkang shook his head and said, "Impossible, when I leave this time, I don't want to leave no matter how much I persuade me, hey......"

A long sigh ended the conversation, and breakfast came to an end.

After breakfast, this is naturally the move to the study.

"Xiaocui, go make a cup of tea." Xiaolan didn't know which tendon was wrong today, and she still didn't come over.

"Oh, by the way, you just ask Zhang Zhong to bring the tea." Today's content is a bit special, and Zhang Zhong needs to come over and make a record.

When Xiaocui left, Du Yongkang couldn't wait to tell the results of this expedition.

"Master Hou, there is a place about thirty-five miles southwest of Jinshan that is very suitable for the establishment of this steelmaking plant. There is also a river there, but it does not flow into the Jinshan River, so as to avoid pollution of the river water. "Regarding the pollution of water sources, Changsun Tang specially confessed, and he couldn't make Jinshan a ghost town that no one cared about for the sake of a steel mill. Although at this time the towering chimneys in the city can even serve as a symbol and symbol of a city.

"Is there any reason why you have to choose a factory location other than that?" In Changsun Tang's subconscious, he did not want to set up factories, especially those such as steelmaking, which have relatively high requirements for water and some serious pollution, in the vicinity of the city. However, considering the current traffic situation, if the factory is too far away from the city, it is very difficult to commute.

"And, there's. Oh......" Du Yongkang hurriedly replied. It's just that the hiccup involuntarily made a sound, but this is not controlled by Du Yongkang.

Du Yongkang's face was flushed with suffocation, and he was a little embarrassed and at a loss.

"It's okay, it's okay, this bun is like this, I used to eat buns and often hiccup. Just take a sip of tea. Changsun Tang's explanation more or less resolved some of Du Yongkang's embarrassment.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that." Du Yongkang said.

Soon, after taking a sip of tea, Du Yongkang obviously felt a lot more comfortable.

"Master Hou, there is a mountain range in the middle of these thirty-five miles, the mountain range is not high, but it can block the exhaust gas and dust produced by this steelmaking, and this is a mountain col area, this diffusion is not very serious." After relieving the embarrassment, Du Yongkang continued.

"Well, what you said are all my suggestions to you, and for these reasons, what have you done in more than a month?" The eldest grandson asked.

"In addition to the strategy, there is also the problem of distance." Du Yongkang said.

Looking at the unresponsive Changsun Tang, Du Yongkang continued: "It is basically on the side of this coal mine, not too far from the coal mine, so that the cost of transporting coal can be saved. ”

"Go on." Changsun Tang hopes to train Du Yongkang to become the leading geological expert in Jinshan, and when the matter here is over, he will send this fleet to Luzon to look for gold and copper mines.

"This convenient transportation can not only save part of the freight, but also the road problems for workers to go to work can also be solved, so that a road solves several problems, which can be regarded as saving the cost of mining, these aspects can be saved, there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful." Du Yongkang said.

"Is there anything else that goes beyond that?" The eldest grandson is still a little dissatisfied, this can squeeze more out, naturally better.

"That's all I have to think about for the time being." Du Yongkang said.

"So there's a lot of vacant land around here, and I mean how much of a place can be used here besides the steel mill?" Eldest grandson: This can be regarded as a hint in disguise.

"There is a lot of open space, but the other side is against the hills, and it needs to be properly leveled before it can be used." Du Yongkang recalled the situation around the selected site and said.

"That's good, that's good." The eldest grandson was happy.

"I wonder what other arrangements Master Hou has for this vacant land?" Du Yongkang didn't quite understand what Changsun Tang meant.

"And how far is it from the estuary? Or how far is it from where a dock can be built on this coast? The eldest grandson did not answer Du Yongkang's question, but continued to ask.

"Master Hou, what other arrangements do you have?" Now even a fool can see that Changsun Tang has another purpose.

"If this is just a steel mill, there is no need to move the crowd like this, in my planning, there is a huge industrial park, if conditions permit, this whole Jinshan out of a small amount of light industry, all the industries and factories will be built there, there will be the largest and most magnificent industrial park in the world." The eldest grandson said.

"But, Master Hou, I don't understand what kind of light industry you are talking about, but is it really appropriate to build all the factories there?" Du Yongkang hesitated.

"There's nothing wrong with that, you don't know, such an industrial zone would be an industrial zone based on steel mills, and it would produce all steel-related parts and machines." The eldest grandson said.

"But, but ......" Du Yongkang was interrupted by the eldest grandson for a long time.

"There's nothing to be had. Five years from now, no, three years from now, you'll see chimneys everywhere, cars flowing everywhere, and more and more industrial products of all kinds. The tone of Changsun Tang's words has been changed a lot, which invisibly carries the intention of brainwashing, but I don't know how much effect it can play on Du Yongkang, this is still unknown.

"I am willing to contribute my own strength to the development of this golden mountain." Du Yongkang, who was excited, said.

These words made the eldest grandson's appetite turn upside down. I thought that this was what he used to motivate those stunned young people who were not deeply involved in the world, but these words reached Du Yongkang's mouth in a blink of an eye. The eldest grandson would do this when he walked to Du Yongkang, but this was really embarrassing...... (To be continued.) )
