Chapter 133: The Breakthrough Ceremony
The construction of this cement road is the hottest thing in Baotou during this time, the sensation caused by the cement factory has long passed, that is, the normal work and off-duty of workers, more than 1,000 people, it looks like a lot, sprinkled in this piece, not very eye-catching, everyone pays attention to it for a period of time, and it is accustomed to it.
Cement is different from the necessities of life, for most people, it is still unfamiliar, unaffordable, most of the cement of the cement plant has been used by Yang Yuanzhao to repair the road, reducing the thickness by half, and the use of cement for one kilometer has been reduced to about 500 kilograms, so that 50 kilometers is almost the production volume of the cement plant for ten days. A small part of the road construction is sold to the landlord's house, Qian Hu was brought to repair the road, Baotou, and even nearby, there are many masons, they do not know how to use cement, but the use of cement is simple, at most let Qian Hu send someone to point out, Baotou during this time, there are a lot of buildings, there are two floors, there are three floors, and Qian Hu's house is almost carved out of a mold, it seems, it is a different scenery.
From the cement plant to Baotou, the earliest paved road section, the upper baffle, has been removed, the iron mold has not been removed, in order to make him more durable, better condensation, close to the side of Baotou, there is a construction team at any time to monitor, has dried cement, or someone to try, in this regard, the construction team of people, neither encouraged, nor opposed.
The cement solidified, saying that it would take more than half a month, and after four or five days, the cement could already bear a certain weight, which they had personal experience in building a house for Qian Hu. The cast-in-place roof is a few days later. I started to build the second floor again, and there was a lot of fuss at the time. Under Yang Yuanzhao's order, he reluctantly went up, and he didn't dare to get down, and he acted lightly, but when he came to the third floor, he was much bolder, and the cement was used for use, as long as the first few days passed. Don't deliberately hit with heavy objects, walk a few people. No problem.
Five days after the cement road was paved, there were fewer people to monitor, and it was not so tight. At first, it was just some bold children, running to the cement road to play, children always like to join in the fun, the more they don't let it, the more itchy, the children run crazy on it. Shouting excitedly. Next, some curious people also came over to experience the smoothness and solidity of the cement road in person, and the well-informed old shopkeeper. I can't help but admire the smoothness of this road surface, which is unheard of.
The cement road from Baotou to the cement plant has been completely penetrated. After more than 15 days of condensation, it is completely possible to pass on a small scale. For the sake of morale, but also for the purpose of the future. Yang Yuanzhao invited guests and held a grand passage ceremony.
On this day, all the shareholders of Baoken Company attended in full costume, and even Yang Yue put down the research and attended the scene. Sure enough, in the past few months, Yang Yue has not been idle, mainly doing research on winter wheat, in fertilization, irrigation, according to the knowledge learned in school before, did some practical yĆ n, especially the selection and cultivation of seeds, as well as the use of chemical fertilizers, and achieved a good harvest, conservative estimates, wheat planting, will definitely have a huge improvement than before.
The food problem is the top priority, and if the food problem cannot be guaranteed in the future development of the industrial zone, no matter how good the machine is, no matter how many workers there are, it will become a plate of loose sand. Yang Yuanzhao also simply told Yang Yue that Harpy had gone to the United States, and he would stay in the United States for a period of time, trying to invite some of Yang Yue's classmates, or some other agronomists, to China.
Classmates, Yang Yue's eyes were a little fluttering, as if he was thinking about something, and then said faintly: "Most of my classmates are from farmers, and they go to study to go home to inherit the family business. ā
After Yang Yue finished speaking, he wrote down a bunch of English names on a piece of paper, including the names of classmates, simple addresses, and some other conditions, agriculture in the United States has always been developed, and farmers are different from Chinese farmers, at least they are landlords, or even big landlords, but Yang Yue's classmates' families have a few tens of thousands of acres, or even hundreds of thousands of acres, such people, let alone crossing the ocean, I am afraid it is impossible to leave their hometown.
China in this era is unattractive, maybe for the sake of money, if you can recruit one or two, whether you can meet the standard of the all-in-one machine, it's really hard to say, maybe, in this piece of paper, you can find those two senior researchers, complete the daily tasks on the all-in-one machine.
Wei Ming next to him, didn't say a word, looking at the highway in front of him, it was really built directly, the speed is still so fast, only a dozen kilometers, together, it will not exceed 100 miles, this construction speed is too fast, less than 30 days, it is almost the whole line through, the most important thing is the quality, you don't need to look at it, you know, it is definitely not ordinary.
This highway has become the most eye-catching in Baotou, even some of the big shopkeepers of the Chamber of Commerce, also come to see from time to time, smooth, as solid as a stone, the most important thing is a whole, a few days ago, just had a heavy rain, the usual road, either waterlogged, or depression, here is smooth abnormal, when it rains heavily, there is some water on the road, but not much, when the rain stops, the drainage ditch on both sides, the water is quickly discharged, vehicles and pedestrians, can walk in the normal way, this is before, Something absolutely unthinkable.
There was a commotion in the crowd, I don't know when, Hou Jinsheng also came, since the last time he saw Hou Jinsheng once, Yang Yuanzhao has hardly seen him, he seems to be an otaku, living in a shallow way, without any sense of zĆ i.
The invitation was in charge of Liu Shu, and almost all the gentry and celebrities in Baotou were sent, including the famous Hou family, of course, but this invitation was just a courtesy, and everyone who should have come came, and some who didn't come didn't come as usual, no one thought that Hou Jinsheng would come.
After chatting with a few acquaintances, Hou Jinsheng walked directly in front of Yang Yuanzhao and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, I didn't expect you to produce cement so quickly, and build such a road, it looks very good!" ā
"Master Hou praised it falsely, compared to Master Hou building bridges and building roads, I am far behind!"
Yang Yuanzhao is not a compliment, since the last time he met Hou Jinsheng, he asked Liu Shu to help investigate, the Hou family is a typical gentry family, it should be from the Qianlong period, when it was just the landlord Hou family, out of a jinshi, although the official position is not high, the highest is only to achieve five grades, but directly put the Hou family from an ordinary gentry, to the official family, and then for a hundred years, the Hou family began to spread out, five or six officials emerge in endlessly, and even in Hou Jinsheng's grandfather's generation, out of a term of Shanxi political secretary, It is considered to be a stable position of a famous family in Shanxi, the Hou family in Baotou is only a branch of the Hou family, and Hou Jinsheng himself is from a high background, his family is big, and he has a good reputation.
I don't know Hou Jinsheng's purpose, after a few simple compliments, the auspicious time has arrived, Yang Yuanzhao ordered to start celebrating, the lion and dragon dance team moved, and the 100,000 firecrackers also sounded, after a lively time, Yang Yuanzhao walked up to the front and said to everyone: "Thank you for all coming to participate in this breakthrough ceremony, the benefits of this cement road, everyone sees it, in order to better show its use, let's do a test!" ā
"Experiment!" Some people understand, some people don't understand, Yang Yuanzhao has already been ready, with a wave of his hand, naturally someone stepped forward, these are two horse-drawn two-wheeled vehicles, one is an empty car, and the other is a heavy car, loaded with two barrels of cement, just transported to Baotou, this is basically the limit of the two-wheeled carriage, no matter how heavy it is, the carriage will not be able to bear it.
Yang Yuanzhao's road repair was built on the side of the original road, not occupying the original road, which is also to prepare for future expansion.
The people present were either shareholders of the Baoken Company, or famous gentry of Baotou, or the big shopkeepers of some shops, and these people were extremely shrewd, and when they looked at the two carriages, they knew what kind of experiment was going to be made.
Since Yang Yuanzhao is a test, of course he must be fair, and several people even went to see if the carriage was exactly the same, as well as cement, and some people also picked up the cement buckets, and actually wanted to try to see if these cement buckets were empty.
Fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao did not plan to cheat, and there was no need to cheat, the excellence of the cement road has been shown in the villages and villages of later generations, in this era, there are no more than 100 tons of trucks, even if the carriage can be pulled, how much can it be pulled.
A few people came down embarrassed and said with a little embarrassment: "The car is fine!" ā
"Then run!"
With Yang Yuanzhao's order, the master master who was very familiar with the two Baotou people began to ride his horse and whip, and the speed of the empty car started a little faster, and the first one rushed out, and the heavy car was one step slower.
Yang Yuanzhao was not worried, he watched the carriage move forward with confidence, sure enough, the heavy car that started slowly, after stabilizing the speed, on the smooth and smooth cement road, the speed became faster and faster, and the speed did not weaken at all, but on the other side, the road in Baotou, although it was not a pure dirt road, was also relatively smooth, the heavy rain a few days ago really had some impact on it, some slightly potholed places, and some puddles, which definitely affected the speed, thanks to the experienced master who drove the car, If it were an ordinary person, it would have fallen to the side a long time ago.
But Rao was like this, and the speed of the carriage began to decrease, and it was a little faster on the smooth road, and the puddles and mud could barely be lifted, but there was another carriage on the concrete road, which was getting faster and faster, and after overtaking the empty cart, it was completely dusty.
