Wei Ming is very concerned about the brick and tile factory, on the same day, he sent people to Taiyuan to inform the news, the four families in Shanxi and Mongolia here, the power is very huge, almost in most of the small towns, there are similar to the post station of the storage zài, with the help of the post station, more than 1,000 kilometers away, two days can be reached, Yang Yuanzhao from the outside world to get the news, many are used to convey.

About five days later, a team of people arrived in Baotou, Wei Ming did not stop, directly found Yang Yuanzhao, told him, from Taiyuan, he transferred 70 people, including 12 masters.

Master master, in this era, among the factories, the more special storage zài, generally people with better craftsmanship or higher prestige, they can be said to be the core and backbone of a factory, in the factory, can play a very strong role.

With such a large number of laborers, the work of the brick and tile factory quickly entered the stage of actual implementation from preparation, and on the way to Shanghai, Yang Yuanzhao was busy with the machine of the brick and tile factory in his spare time.

He copied the brick machine of this era, for a certain modification of them, the key to the brick machine is the speed of molding, this point, the brick machine of this era, in terms of efficiency is far inferior to that of later generations, there is no way to solve it, electricity is not to think about it, his power generation mechanism zuò This bit of power is not enough for industrial use, plus to change from ordinary steam power to electric drive, which requires a lot of changes, Yang Yuanzhao is just a power engineer, If the steam engine can be regarded as a bypass, the electric machinery is almost all outsiders.

Yang Yuanzhao took out the size of the brick making machine, as well as the things that need to be paid attention to when making bricks, the space that must be set aside, etc., and the rest is to arrange the brick kiln.

The layout of the brick kiln is still subject to the master's opinion, he just took out some refractory bricks, these refractory bricks are from the Hanyang Iron Works, and the refractory bricks used in steelmaking are used to make bricks.

There is a certain temperature limit for brick making, not too high, not too low, in the right range, the higher the temperature, the higher the efficiency of brick making, and the less and less time it takes.

The masters personally realized the refractory bricks from Yang Yuanzhao, and suddenly marveled, the general brick kiln, the temperature often does not dare to add to a very high level in a short period of time, it must be slowly improved, this kind of promotion, for bricks, is not only not conducive to the quality of bricks, but also makes the efficiency a little low, this era, a kiln brick to burn out, it takes more than 33 days, if the use of refractory bricks, the temperature of the brick kiln is raised, he can easily be raised to 28 days, a full 5 days.

Brick kiln, an important indicator, is a kiln bricks, how long does it take, just such a little improvement, the efficiency of the brick kiln can be increased by two percent.

The brick kiln of the Wei family is very famous in Taiyuan, almost the entire red brick and blue bricks in Shanxi are fired by this brick kiln, and even they will fire some special bricks, the craftsmanship of the masters is very exquisite, itself, the efficiency mentioned by Wei Ming has increased several times, and the manpower has been reduced several times, in their opinion, it is almost impossible, they have done their best to reduce the manpower, but the reduction is limited.

When they came to Baotou and saw Yang Yuanzhao, they found that he was too young, and the masters were all skeptical, only when the refractory bricks were taken out, they knew that they underestimated the young man in front of them, a refractory brick, so that the efficiency of the brick kiln was increased by 2 percent, did he have a better way?

The construction of brick kilns, most of them are built according to the masters, and a small part of them are based on Yang Yuanzhao's opinions, and some transformations have been made in the overall image, increasing the capacity inside, so that each kiln can easily improve a lot.

Yang Yuanzhao's profound knowledge and ability, completely convinced these masters, the construction of the brick kiln also began, with cement and refractory bricks, the construction work is very fast, that is, a little more than 3 days, the whole kiln body is basically formed, as long as the kiln body is dry, and then a thorough calcination, it can be put into use.

In mid-June, the weather in Baotou began to get hot, and in the wilderness, under the direct sun, sweating like rain.

A huge convoy came to Baotou, Wei Ming and Yang Yuanzhao greeted the convoy together, this is Yang Yuanzhao interface Harpy sent from Shanghai machine, including 5 sets of brick kilns, 2 sets of cement production equipment, after going to Shanghai once, Yang Yuanzhao felt that time is not waiting, there are no more people to invest, or decided to get the enterprise up, especially the brick kiln put into production, next, there will be more factories, in Baotou to rise from the ground, building materials, must be solved this morning.

The continuous convoy is almost several miles, because it is the Yang family's convoy, Wei Ming doesn't know, there will be so many, the visual inspection counts, it has exceeded 150 vehicles, in Baotou, in the northwest, it is definitely a huge convoy, slightly surprised, asked: "Why are there so many?" ”

"I also pulled some other equipment, brick kiln brick making machine, I entered 12 units?"

"What 12!" Wei Ming was stunned all of a sudden, before he discussed with Yang Yuanzhao, on the basis of the original brick making machine, he calculated the speed of the brick making machine that Yang Yuanzhao said, 2 is enough to support 3-4 brick kilns at the same time, so that it will not delay the effort, but also let the brick kiln run at full load, but Yang Yuanzhao got 12 at once, not to mention Baotou, I am afraid that in the entire Shanxi Mongolia, no one can consume so many large bricks.

"The second set is our cooperation, and the rest, as an expansion of production or I will build a few more." Yang Yuanzhao said calmly.

Wei Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it, and pondered for a long time before he said: "Yuan Zhao, do you think that a small Baotou can accommodate so many brick and tile factories?" ”

"So many brick and tile factories, of course you can!" Yang Yuanzhao said with a smile, a city, is built on the basis of reinforced concrete and red bricks, 12 brick machines, not only in terms of efficiency, far lower than the large brick machines of later generations, even if all of them are launched, the monthly output will not be higher than 3 million, 3 million bricks are very much, later generations, maybe a large-scale project, can use all these bricks.

In Yang Yuanzhao's planning, the whole Baotou is planned to become a huge enterprise park, in this enterprise park, all kinds of plants and main projects, he is ready to use steel structure to solve, so fast, but also spacious, but ordinary buildings, such as residences, office buildings, and steel structure filled, need a large number of bricks, 12 is a rainy day, in the future, when the industrial park expands, attracting more factories and personnel, this brick factory, will continue to expand.

Wei Ming originally wanted to persuade Yang Yuanzhao, but he didn't expect that Yang Yuanzhao didn't take this seriously at all, looking at Wei Ming's somewhat depressed expression, Yang Yuanzhao smiled and said: "Don't worry, if Brother Wen Ju is not at ease, you can sign an agreement with me, and I will be responsible for purchasing all the bricks and tiles you produce!" ”

"Really?"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said, really, to be honest, it is not to win over the four major families, Yang Yuanzhao will never choose to cooperate with them, which is equivalent to dividing the profits in vain, and it will also form a certain constraint, now Yang Yuanzhao has enough interests to attract them, the gold mine in the north of Baotou can provide at least 700 tons to 800 tons of gold, just relying on these gold, at least within 10 years, Yang Yuanzhao will not be short of money, what he lacks is enough time, enough skilled workers, There is also a huge industry established with the help of huge money, if these can be solved with money, why not, Wei Ming has a good eye, but he just saw what he saw, Baotou has a lot of requirements for masonry, but at most it is to accommodate a brick and tile factory, but what Yang Yuanzhao sees is the future, when Baotou builds one factory after another, attracts one worker after another, and even when Baotou develops into a million, or even tens of millions of super cities, the demand for bricks and stones, It's definitely an astronomical number, not to mention three or four brick factories, even if it's more, it's not enough.
