Chapter 748: Restrictions and Troubles

Yang reformed Sun Yuanhua reminded, instantly thought of something, to build a large-scale factory, there must be water, there must be water, there must be a river, the factory can only be built by the river, and may have to build a certain degree of water conservancy projects to store water, the most important thing is that the total amount of rivers and water power in the world is actually limited, and the place suitable for building a factory is even more limited......

Sun Yuanhua reminded him, and Yang Reform instantly understood that he thought of a lot of things, many things that he didn't pay much attention to before, or didn't need to care too much about, but now, it may have become a resource and a kind of in-demand thing. The changes that the Industrial Revolution has brought to the world are indeed huge.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty was more concerned about the field, and only the field was recognized as an asset, and the first thing that came to mind when he became an official and made a fortune was to buy land, but now this industrialization is about to start, and the importance of mountains and rivers is gradually highlighted, and the main assets are no longer limited to the fields.

In the past, the management of rivers and mountains was still very laissez-faire and relatively loose, but now, rivers and other resources are about to become scarce assets, and they can no longer be so casual and laissez-faire.

The mountains and rivers of the entire Ming Dynasty should be explored and counted immediately, and the first thing that Yang Reform thought of was to immediately find Xu Xiake, and to immediately explore and map the Ming Dynasty. These things that I didn't pay attention to before are all resources, but they are all assets! Perhaps for a long time, it will be a very scarce resource.

"The Qing family is right, if you want to build a factory, you really have to choose a place with a river, and this is a suitable place to build a factory near the capital......" Yang Reform followed Sun Yuanhua's words and said, speaking of which, I couldn't go on anymore. Sighing secretly, this is really a troublesome thing, the fields near the capital are all ownerless, but not ownerless fields, this field needs water to irrigate, they have to build water facilities, to build factories, they have to nod their heads, and to go deeper, if you want the factory to be built without being affected, I am afraid that you will have to cooperate with the local land snakes, that is, the wealthy families.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform was a burst of irritability, a burst of happiness, and a burst of helplessness.

The irritability is naturally that he carries the reputation of the emperor behind his back, as if everything in the world is his own, but in fact, there is absolutely nothing in the world for him to claim such a thing, even if he is the emperor, if he wants to do something, he has to have a certain compromise and concession, and he has to cooperate with those wealthy families and scholars. Without the assistance and cooperation of scholars and wealthy families, it would be even more difficult to achieve something.

Fortunately, it is my own strategy to cooperate with wealthy families from all over the world and tie them to their own industrial chariots, so that they can profit from the transformation of industrialization and taste the sweetness, and it is not wrong to do so.

But in this situation, if you want to get the cooperation of the local wealthy families, it is obvious that you will have to give them a lot of profits, and you may encounter a lot of people who "ask for a price". This made Yang Reform quite helpless.

Thinking about it again, there are some realizations in my heart, and I have been unable to make a decision in recent days, but I am afraid that it is only at this time that I can go down, and only at this moment, how to build a factory, and how to distribute shares and profits, will the clouds clear.

Once Yang Reform's mind diverged, he thought of more and more things, from the beginning of the groaning, to the continuous walking back and forth in the warm pavilion later, and in the end, it can already be said that he was walking quickly.

Wang Chengen and Sun Yuanhua were amazed, what happened to the emperor? Going faster and faster?

Wang Chengen understood that the emperor had thought of something very important, so he didn't dare to disturb, and when he saw that Sun Yuanhua had the intention of asking out loud, he immediately stopped Sun Yuanhua with his eyes and gestures.

How to build a factory, how to distribute the share and profits, but also to take into account where the factory is built, but also to take into account the river, water resources these factors, the construction of the factory needs water power as a driving force, the construction of the factory must need land, must also need roads, this is unable to bypass the local wealthy family, should take into account their needs. …,

The factory still has to be built near a large city where people are concentrated as much as possible, and it is necessary to take into account the problem of sales, raw materials and fuel, the factor of hydraulic rivers, and the factor of local wealthy families.

Considering these comprehensively, how to build a cement plant, Yang's reform has been settled, the cement plant, or have to use the way of stock participation to build, how much to build, according to the principle of the first meat must be full, not too much, it is best to control within a single digit, counting the two places that there are today, in fact, the cement plant can not exceed eight at most. It is of the utmost importance to ensure that the "landlords" of the first wave of transformation make money.

Then we have to consider the problem of site selection, power and raw materials, fuel is a problem that needs to be considered at the same time, the rivers near the big cities are limited, and the places suitable for building factories are even more limited. Or give half of the discount, or less, probably this degree, Yang Reform thought in his heart, until now, how to build a factory there, how to build a factory, how to build a factory, the process and rules of building a factory, can be regarded as relatively clear.

Yang Gai figured it out, his spirit had returned to his body, he looked at Wang Chengen and Sun Yuanhua looking at him blankly, and asked with a smile: "...... What's the ......?"

Wang Chengen and Sun Yuanhua are not in a daze, but the emperor himself is "out of his mind".

The two of them bowed their heads in amazement.

“…… By the way, Sun Qingjia, I thought about it, the size of the water power determines the output of the cement plant, and the water power and the output may be directly linked, and it is very important to choose where to build the factory, this cement plant in the capital, you should consider it yourself, see where it is more suitable, and pick a few places for selection,...... "Yang Reform already had a plan in his heart and began to arrange.

"Commandment." Sun Yuanhua agreed, in fact, he was already looking for a suitable place, the emperor did tell him to find a suitable place to build a factory, of course, not to let him find a place with water power, now the factory must be built in a place with water power, and the scope has been greatly reduced.

“…… Well, the size of the water power directly determines the output of water power, I think, there may be a certain degree of hydraulic facilities to store water, to increase the water power and water diversion, this may also be related to irrigation and flood control, this, the Qing family may also have to give me a staff officer, maybe this water storage thing will be a multi-functional thing, to take into account a lot of functions......" Yang Gai described what he thought of in his heart.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this problem, the minister has also considered, the minister thinks, if the irrigation and the factory hydraulic repair together, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the output of the factory, in the rainy and drought season, to ensure irrigation water, the factory will not be suspended? Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be the first to supply the water power of the factory, at most to take care of irrigation, which is almost difficult to take care of, and when the time comes, it will definitely be ......confused," Sun Yuanhua said.

"Well, it makes sense, this hydraulic power is indeed limited by natural conditions, and it is not a very ideal source of power, perhaps, there must be a power that is not disturbed by other factors!" Yang Gengai sighed. Yang Gengai recalled that China's industrialization process does not seem to have encountered such a thing, and there is no trouble of not taking into account the water for hydraulic power and irrigation in factories.

Yang Reform still misses the steam engine very much, this kind of thing is the real sign of the industrial revolution, but now, there is no shadow, until the steam engine is invented and perfected, I am afraid that it will still use hydraulic power for a long time.

"Your Majesty is right......" Sun Yuanhua replied.

“…… I always feel that there is always a limit to the amount of water power in the world, and in the future, there will be more and more factories of all kinds, and the water power will become more and more insufficient, which is always troublesome, and I always have to think of other ways...... "Yang Reform thought about it, or simply, give the steam engine to bury an introduction. …,

"The Minister's Decree,...... Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this is the truth, I have little water in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many places needed for irrigation, if you want to free up water to promote the factory machine, I am afraid that there is not so much rich water, and the place where the factory is built must be more limited, Your Majesty wants to build a factory near the capital, the rivers near the city of Beijing, that is, so few, nothing more than the Yongding River, the Yu River, these two rivers, almost a few months a year is the dry period, I am afraid that the factory will be affected...... if it is the south, it is much better, It's not as short of water as the north, big rivers are everywhere, you can build a factory in just a place, and you are not afraid of water shortage, and you don't have to compete with others for water, some are inexhaustible water...... "Sun Yuanhua also said, this is a very realistic problem, Sun Yuanhua also thought less, the water in the north of the Ming Dynasty is not as abundant as in the south, and the water source is not abundant for irrigation in the fields, this difficulty is only afraid that it is not small, the rivers in the north, there are always a few months every year will enter the dry season, even if it is the so-called big river, it is impossible to supply water all year round, If you want to supply water all year round, this hydraulic project is also a big project, at least a big river has to be cut off.

"The Qing family has a point, but in this regard, I haven't thought it through,...... I am Ming, it is always a country that relies on the land to eat, farming, always in the first place, this factory wants to compete with the land for water, but I am afraid that it is not easy! What can the Qing family do? If he is deep in the south, there is not so much trouble, and there are abundant water resources for his own development, but this north is a big trouble, his own people are in the north, and the industrial base is bound to be in the north, which is really a big trouble.

"Your Majesty, for the water power of the factory, but also rely on the gap between the upstream and downstream, there is a drop, this water is powerful, otherwise, even if there is water, it is impossible to drive the machine, these two rivers, the minister has also checked, if it is said that the more ideal place to build a factory, is the upper reaches of the Yongding River, the West Mountain, above the West Mountain, the Yongding River has a large drop, can effectively provide water power, the West Mountain is also more mountainous, there is not much field, and there is no need to compete with others for water sources, and then, there can also be local materials, there are raw materials for burning cement, and coalIt's a good place to build a factory...... "Sun Yuanhua explained.

"Oh, is it built there? The Qing family has investigated very clearly! Yang Reform was a little depressed and a little excited.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is the duty of the minister." Sun Yuanhua said, in fact, when the emperor asked him to find the address of the factory, he was looking for it, which can provide raw materials and fuel, and it is close to the capital, and there are only a few places, and then the water source factor on the plane, the site of the cement factory, almost without thinking, can be determined, in addition to those places, where can there be? The conditions are harsh, so it can be determined quickly.

"Map ......," Yang shouted. Sun Yuanhua's work efficiency is still very high, and the factory site has been determined so quickly.

Wang Chengen hurriedly went to prepare.

In a few moments, the map was already hanging.

"Beijing, Xishan ......" Yang Gai quickly found the place he was looking for.

“…… But this location? Yang asked reform.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, this is probably this place...... this place is not far from the capital, just on the edge of the Yongding River, and there are just raw materials and coal, which is an ideal place to build a factory...... Sun Yuanhua said.

"Oh, it looks like the factory will probably have to be built here......" Yang Gengai clicked on the map, but he didn't expect the factory site to be determined so quickly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's roughly in this location, it's a natural cement factory site......" Sun Yuanhua said with certainty.

"Oh, that's it! What about other places? Is there no suitable location? Yang asked reform. …,

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not nothing, but it's not so suitable, first, it's too far away from the capital, it's one or two hundred miles away, the division is too far, and secondly, even if there are raw materials, there is no water power, and if you calculate it, this place is suitable for ......" Sun Yuanhua said.

"Oh, I see, by the way, this place will also have a dry period, right, how to solve it?" Yang asked Gengai.

"If you want to have water all year round, you have to build a huge dam, cut off a big river, store water when the rain is abundant, and release water in the dry season, so that you can ensure that the water is safe throughout the year, and you can also ensure irrigation ......," Sun Yuanhua said.

Yang Reform listened to what Sun Yuanhua said, and he shuddered, this is getting bigger and bigger, he just wants to build a cement factory, but now he has to build a reservoir ...... first, this is really not something that can be played now.

“…… Forget it, I think it's not very easy to build such a large reservoir, so I won't mention this matter for the time being......" Yang decided not to complicate things.

Sun Yuanhua lowered his head.

"Alas, it seems that the Qing family still has to put it on the agenda to seek other sources of power! This matter will always be a troublesome thing in the future, and in the rainy and dry season, I am afraid that the factory will be shut down...... "Yang Reform has to make this kind of relatively bad deduction, and everything can not be thought of in a good place, but can only be thought of in the worst place, and the worst plan is made.

"Your Majesty is reasonable, and the ministers are willing!" Sun Yuanhua is also a mess, looking for other sources of power? The emperor said it lightly, what cheaper and more sustainable source of power is there in the world?
