It is a long journey to cross the Great Railroad in the United States, from the East Coast of the United States to the West Coast of the United States, and under the roadbed of the Great Railway, which has had a profound impact on the development of the East and West of the United States, the corpses of Chinese workers are buried.

Whether it is Yang Yuanzhao or Harpy now, they are far from being able to influence the national policy of the United States, but all kinds of things recorded by history always have to be changed and rewarded.

In the luxurious train car, Harpy looked out the window leisurely, after the children had just passed the noise, who had gone heavily, Anna looked at the children lovingly, although the journey was tiring, the smiling faces of the children were the greatest praise for him.

Harpy sorted out the text in his hand, this is already the final text, as early as before getting on the bus in New York, Yang Yuanzhao, who had sent a report in advance about all the situations, including the names and majors of all the experts above the lecturer, as well as the skills that the workers are good at, he knew that this large-scale talent introduction must be used, or it is still useful, and if you don't prepare in advance, there will be a huge waste.

After receiving the telegram, Yang Yuanzhao immediately began to arrange, from the east coast to the west coast, across the Pacific Ocean, and then to China, to reach Baotou, it takes almost two months, must be prepared, poor and white, can not undertake the task of receiving these workers, although there are contract restrictions, in order to retain workers, not only need to have good housing, but also need to have many real places, especially the latter.

End of September. The foundation of the highway has begun to extend, and more than 100 kilometers of the previous roadbed have been overcompleted. The roadbed arrived at Suiyuan, and the rest of the personnel extended again. Mainly in the direction of Taiyuan, in the case of rushing the construction period, the basic roadbed will be repaired more than a month later, that is, when the frozen soil period comes, and then it is the intense and arduous road repair process, in the harsh winter of the northern country, to build such a road. It is expected that in the spring of next year, this cement road will be fully connected, and in winter, building such a long cement road may not be very durable, and Yang Yuanzhao at this time can't take care of so much.

Qian Hu's engineering team has expanded again, and in the winter, few people have built houses, and the masons gathered near Baotou. It stands to reason that they will disperse, they will return to their hometowns for the New Year, and they will come out again in the spring after the New Year. This was also a practice in rural China in the old days.

Yang Yuanzhao changed this qiē, and he gave the same treatment to the Baoken company, of course. The premise is that Qian Hu's engineering team accepts the capital injection of 1 million yuan from the reclamation company. diluted Qian Hu's shares, but also allowed the engineering team to use the equipment. From renting to self-use, the cost is further reduced.

The salary of about 20 yuan became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and more than 1,000 masons, as well as the same number of young people, accepted the invitation of the reclamation company and joined the construction team, and the construction team had a double-sided combat foundation.

Harpy in the United States and Germany, it can be said that the task has been exceeded, the workers recruited by Germany are almost negligible, because there are only more than 100 workers, just the foundation of the foundation, but from the United States to recruit 1,200 workers, of which there are more than 200 can be called technicians, such workers, can definitely be called the backbone of the stock, with them, the factory no longer has to be affected by personnel, these backbones, plus the many workers trained, It should be possible to establish a number of core factories. It is necessary to speed up the progress, whether it is an industrial area, a temporary house, or a research institute, all need to break ground in a short time.

Yang Yuanzhao was slightly remorseful, in fact, when Harpy went abroad, he should have made preparations in this regard, but unfortunately the construction of the highway took him a lot of energy, and he did not expect that just relying on money, he would be able to recruit more than 1,000 basic workers in the United States, which was more than double the number they expected before, and at that time, in his opinion, it was enough to recruit three or four hundred people.

More than 1,000 workers, even if it is an ordinary dormitory, need hundreds of different rooms, those professors, technicians and the like, except for a small number of people who stay in Shanghai, the rest of them come to Baotou, need to have a separate room, at the beginning may not be very large, this adds up, almost 400 ordinary houses and 250 dormitories, these need to be built within a month or two, this is a big project.

In a sense, as long as there are enough manpower, it is not difficult to build these rooms, Yang Yuanzhao with the help of the Baotou Reclamation Company, especially the Baotou Highway Company, has carved out a 50-acre piece of land around the industrial zone to prepare dormitories for these workers and scientific and technological personnel.

It's still the style of an ordinary room, but it's a bit like the kind of single-sided building in the later generations, a total of three floors, the dormitories are concentrated in the eastern region, they are all separate, almost 30 square rooms, with bunk beds, at least 4 people can live together, every 10 rooms, there will be a separate toilet and toilet, in the place where the 250 dormitories are concentrated, there will be a special bathhouse, which can be said to be very convenient.

Separate room, this is more or less troublesome, I have to refer to the old three-story building in the past, three bedrooms and one living room, not only to ensure enough rooms, but also covers an area of not large, about 90 square meters, there is no courtyard, a staircase three or two households, so that the house is very compact, compared with the previous three-story ordinary small building, it is tighter, and the construction is not difficult.

Because a large number of landlords have built houses, the whole Baotou, almost concentrated more than 1,000 craftsmen, plus the temporary recruitment of young and strong, temporarily formed a construction team, with the help of previous experience, and then according to the drawings began to build, three-story small buildings, with the help of machinery, the speed of construction is very fast, more than 2,000 people work together, at most two months, these houses can be occupied, in the center of these dormitories, a large-scale steel structure, is forming, It's the same as the cement plant. This steel structure is also 3 floors and about 5 meters high. Coupled with the huge steel bar, it seems to be a hideous monster. At this time, the foundation of mechanical excavation has been formed, and the welders are in the midst of intense welding.

Yang Yuanzhao and Liu Shu are almost all on the construction site, and the talents, these more than 1,000 people, it can be said that they are the workers who want to lay the foundation of Baotou's industry, and they must be given a good environment. If it weren't for the conditions, he would even improve everything here, including medical care, schools, and services.

A horse galloped from Baotou, Yang Yuanzhao raised his eyes and saw that it was his long-term follower, Da Han, these days, almost all of the eight long-term followers were sent to different places. Almost all of them have the ability to take charge of themselves, and Dahan mainly deals with incoming and outgoing telegrams, all telegrams, before they are sent to Baotou and when they are sent. It takes him to change hands.

"Master, call from Baotou!" Da Han shouted while he was still on the horse. Then he jumped down and stood in front of Yang Yuanzhao.

Yang Yuanzhao took the telegram. The brow couldn't help but furrow, the content of the telegram was simple. The first batch of 120 workers recruited from Germany, as well as three engineers, have already arrived in Shanghai, and they will take a short break to Wuhan by water, and then transfer to Baotou by train.

So fast, this more or less surprised Yang Yuanzhao, this is in stark contrast to what he thought two months later, but after thinking about it, Yang Yuanzhao understood, this is a worker from Germany, the first batch of goods, has been transported to Taiyuan, these engineers, more than half a month later than the goods, also arrived at this time, these German-recruited workers, on the level, may not be able to compare with the United States recruitment, half of them are practitioners in the chemical industry, but the three engineers happen to be mechanical engineers, It can also be regarded as the talent that Baotou urgently needs at present.

Yang Yuanzhao asked: "Brother Zelin, now we are here in Baotou, is there enough inn!" ”

"Inn? How many people do you want to live? Liu Shu's face, slightly embarrassed expression, you know, this time, with the development of Baotou, especially a large number of craftsmen and workers to come, inns, rental houses and the like, can be regarded as prosperous, fortunately in cement and bricks, so that many wealthy people, began to concentrate on building houses, at first just to live spacious, but with more and more workers and migrant workers, these have become a business opportunity, Baotou's residential rental prices have risen again and again, to now, many ordinary citizens, I am also inquiring about how to build a house and prepare for the lease, so that in two years at most, the money for building a house can be earned, and in the simple ideas of the citizens, such an investment is worth it.

Yang Yuanzhao said with certainty: "There will be no more than 150 people!" ”

"Do you want 75 rooms?"

"Maybe not, 40 rooms are about the same, remember the double bed, I will let the assembly of 75 double beds over there, so that you can live at least 4 people in a room!"

The concentration on Liu Shu's face finally disappeared, and he said: "That's it, it's okay then, you wait for me to come back and reply to you!" ”

"Good!" Yang Yuanzhao's gaze was once again put into the steel structure, the steel structure construction, has begun to take shape, at least, in the east of this piece, has successfully set up a building, all the steel supports have been in place, has not yet entered the filling and painting, this will have to wait until all the end, unified progress.

Three engineers came, and more than 100 workers, in this case, the construction of the work is going to be put on the agenda, the equipment is ready-made, the equipment sent back from Germany, on the ordinary official road, the use of ants to move, is considered to have transported more than 2,000 tons, the Yang family and the Wei family, the rich transport capacity, almost half of them have been put into this side, but the goods over there in Taiyuan have gradually begun to pile up, and the follow-up machines have been continuously transported to where.

In Yang Yuanzhao's hands, there is a complete list, recording that it has been transported to Baotou, as well as the list of transportation to Taiyuan machine, among these lists, the equipment of three acids and two alkalis is the most priority, unless it is a carriage that cannot be transported, more than 600 kilograms of machine equipment, the rest, almost all have arrived in advance, and can be used to pull out any of the five small factories with the help of this machine.

Carefully observing the basic situation of these personnel, Yang Yuanzhao finally decided on a factory soap factory, of course, the early stage will build a basic factory, caustic soda factory, the production of soap is very simple, that is, the animal oil and caustic soda in a high-temperature solution in the hydrolysis and neutralization, the formation of soap, this is the simplest soap, in the future, with the arrival of chemical experts, the addition of artificial and natural purified flavors, will make ordinary soap, into putty, and even some soap in later generations.

At present, the foundation of Baotou, even if these workers are added, can only solve the problem of whether there is any, the reason why soap is chosen, on the one hand, is the importance of soap, he is a daily commodity, but also a relatively large amount of products in daily life, once launched, will not worry about the problem of sales, on the other hand, the whole reaction of soap is very simple, the key is the raw material of caustic soda, among the equipment imported from Germany, there is a batch of electrolytic salt water equipment, which can be used as a caustic soda production machinery, As long as there are skilled workers and there is guaranteed electricity, the factory can be opened.

As for another important raw material of soap, animal fat, Baotou here, close to the Mongolian grassland, all kinds of animal fat, except for a small part, are used by ordinary people to carburetor oil, and the rest are almost discarded, which is also an alternative application of animal fat.

Yang Yuanzhao carefully inspected this project, the feasibility of the soap project is very high, a certain amount of dù above, as long as there are skilled workers, it can be produced immediately, it is considered to be one of the application projects of three acids and two alkalis, it is relatively easy to produce, and the area does not need to be very large, you can start from a small one.

After a rough calculation, this piece of steel structure house, as long as the necessary filling and floor filling are done, a certain amount of dù above, can be put into use.

Immediately let the project tilt towards here, transferred more than 100 people, went all out on this project, it took only 5 days to complete the overall construction, and according to this soap project, a certain amount of modification work was carried out. When the project came to an end, the people from Germany had already arrived in Taiyuan, Yang Yuanzhao heard the news, and then went to his warehouse that night, and after a busy day and a night, he finally came up with a strange thing, and then, with the help of everyone, installed it on the tractor, and then called a driver, and set off the next morning.
