Due to the technical problems in the train scheduling link, the current train density arranged on this railway line is still difficult to achieve the original design freight level of the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Communications, although this situation is caused by many reasons, and the responsibility is not counted on the head of a certain department, but as the official in charge of Changhua Huarok Industrial Zone, the pressure of steel production is really on Qiao Zhiya. You must know that the main criterion for the executive committee to consider whether he is responsible for this position is steel production, and as for other people's livelihood, public security, production safety, etc., that is a secondary issue.

However, secondary issues could not be ignored lightly, and while Qiao Zhiya was still racking his brains for the arrangement of railway trains, some problems also appeared on the construction site of the Shilu Iron Mine.

Qiao Zhiya hurried to the mine after receiving a phone call from Tian Yeyou, and the No. 1 pit, which had just started mining for only half a month, collapsed and landslided, burying the laborers who were working at the bottom of the pit underneath, and the number of casualties is still unknown. For Qiao Zhiya, it was like a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the problem of railway capacity has not been solved, and there are new troubles at the production source here.

Qiao Zhiya's office is not far from the mine, just over a hill. When he arrived, he saw a group of grizzled laborers withdrawn from the work area, including many injured people who were bleeding from their heads and lying on stretchers.

Qiao Zhiya stopped a foreman he recognized and asked, "Where is the head of the mine?"

"Report to the chief, the mine chief went down to the pit to check the situation. The foreman replied, with some trepidation.

"Hurry up and call him up!" Qiao Zhiya hurriedly said: "The pit has just collapsed, what should I do if something happens again!"

The foreman answered, and trotted all the way to find Tian Yeyou. The mining method here is the same as that of the Tiandu Iron Mine, which is open-pit mining, and the pit is continuously expanded and deepened in a spiral mining method. This method is certainly much less dangerous than tunnel mining, but it does not mean that it is safer, and landslides and landslides are common mining disasters in this kind of mine, but I don't know how many unlucky people were buried underneath this time.

It didn't take long for Tian Yeyou to come up from the mine, but he didn't forget to put on the hard hat he brought from before the crossing, as well as the pair of Mechanix full-finger protective gloves that Qiao Zhiya gave him.

"Lao Tian, have you forgotten how valuable your own life is? The executive committee has repeatedly emphasized that your own safety should be considered first in any situation, and you still dare to go down to the pit, who will bear this pot if something happens?" As soon as Qiao Zhiya saw Tian Yeyou, he couldn't help but complain to him first.

How many laborers died in the pit was a secondary issue for the Executive Committee, but if even the traverser had an accident, it would really be a serious accident. In the three years since the crossing, although several people have died due to various diseases, there has never been a precedent for a crosser to die in a production safety accident. Moreover, Tian Yeyou is now the No. 1 expert among the few professionals in the mining sector, and his value to Haihan is not comparable to that of cheap labor. If something happens to Tian Yeyou, it can be said that Haihan's mining industry will be negatively affected in the next few decades, which is why Qiao Zhiya is so nervous about him.

Tian Yeyou waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I didn't go down to the bottom of the pit, nor did I go down from the landslide, I was called up after looking at the situation below." ”

"How is the situation now, how many dead and injured are there?" After making sure that Tian Yeyou was safe and sound, Qiao Zhiya asked the main question.

"At the time of the accident, there were three teams working on the mining operations, and some of the injured escaped after the collapse, and according to the number of survivors counted now, there are about 33 people buried underneath. Tian Yeyou sighed and said: "Judging from the situation of the landslide, there should be no survivors, there are more than a dozen injured people, and a few of them were rolled down by the rocks and broke their hands and feet. ”

"What is the cause of the accident?" Qiao Zhiya breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the casualties, this figure is basically within a controllable range, that is, it will not affect the future production of the mine, and it has not reached the level that is difficult to deal with in the executive committee. Of course, the most important thing is that the laborers who died at the bottom of the pit were all forced labor camps, and the value of the informally naturalized naturalized people was not the same.

"It probably has something to do with the rain a few days ago. Tian Yeyou explained: "After the surface soil layer is excavated, the bottom is full of gravel, and when it is soaked in rainwater, the stability is very low. According to the escaped laborers, it was a minecart that collapsed a section of the road at the top of the pit, which led to a chain reaction, and when the earth and rock slid to the bottom of the pit, it was no longer a process that could be resisted by manpower. ”

"How long will production be interrupted in Pit 1?" is what Qiao Zhiya really cares about.

"That's why I called you over to see the scene. Tian Yeyou gestured and said, "You come with me to the edge of the pit to see the situation." ”

Qiao Zhiya followed Tian Yeyou to the edge of the mine, and he could clearly see that one side of the pit no longer had a circle of minecart conveying channels, and instead of a slope formed by a piece of gravel, it led to the bottom of the pit. Since there is no steam-powered ore transport truck installed on Shiroku's side like Tiandu Iron Mine, for the time being, it can only be used in a more primitive way, and the plate truck pulled by animal power can go all the way around the ring road on the pit wall. As soon as the landslide buried the road, there was no way to transport the ore out of the lower part of the pit.

"It will take at least three to five working days to re-dig the conveyor channel. Tian Yeyou pointed to the pit and gave a timetable: "Of course, this is in the case of a qiēshun lì, if it continues to rain in the next few days, it is difficult to guarantee whether the next landslide will occur during the construction period." ”

"Does this mean that we will lose almost half of our production capacity during this period?" Qiao Zhiya's brows couldn't help frowning: "It's a trivial matter for us to delay for a few days, but the impact on Changhua is great." ”

The coal-iron composite industrial base designed by the Ministry of Industry fully considers the distribution of raw materials and energy, and concentrates the coal produced in the black soil port of Annan and the iron ore produced in Shiroku in the Changhua area, and then produces steel. Since last year, Changhua has built several blast furnaces for ironmaking and steelmaking, as well as a large number of charcoal kilns, and has already begun on-the-job training for industrial workers.

After the Shilu iron mine was put into operation, the furnace in Changhua began to operate day and night. And if these iron-making and steel-making furnaces are shut down due to the interruption of the supply of raw materials, it will be a great waste of financial, manpower and material resources for the metallurgical sector. Now in Changhua is presiding over the work of the Ministry of Industry Liu Xingli, Haihan is currently the most technical metallurgical expert, but also a person who does things with a clear eye, Qiao Zhiya thinks of his serious appearance of checking the ore supply with himself every week has a little headache, one or two tons of ore is like cutting his flesh, if the supply is reduced by half, will this guy take the train to the Shilu mining area to find himself to tear a heart?

Of course, whether Liu Xingli will be angry because of this is still a trivial matter, if it really affects the production arrangement of the metallurgical department in Changhua, then the next time Qiao Zhiya and Tian Yeyou return to Sanya to report on their work, I am afraid that life will not be so easy.

Qiao Zhiya didn't wait for Tian Yeyou to answer, so he shook his head and said, "This can't be done, the time is too slow, and you have to resume production as much as possible." What else can be done?"

Tian Yeyou spread his hands and said: "We don't have any construction machinery available now, the only solution is manpower, if you want to be fast, then you can only invest more manpower." At present, there are only about 300 laborers left in the No. 1 mine, and you should have a good idea of how many square meters of earth and rocks can be dug every day. ”

Qiao Zhiya frowned and thought for a while before responding: "I'll transfer another five hundred people to you, three shifts, don't stop work at night, do your best to deal with this place!"

At least 3,000 or 4,000 people have been forced to work on the Changhua Hualu construction project, and the elimination rate has remained at an astonishing 20 percent, with an average of one out of every five people sleeping on this land. At present, there are about 1,000 laborers in the two pits of the Shilu Iron Mine, and Qiao Zhiya has to transfer people now, so he can only find a way to dig the east wall to make up the west wall from other construction sites, and solve the problem on the iron mine side first.

"If I have another 500 people, the construction period should be cut in half. Tian Yeyou nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on it." ”

"Don't go wrong again, 500 people is the upper limit, and I can't find another 500 people to fill the hole if something happens. Qiao Zhiya had a tiredness on his face that could not be concealed. The transfer of these 500 people will inevitably affect the progress of the project in other places under his rule, and it is inevitable that others will come to him to complain about their grievances.

In Danzhou, a hundred miles north of Shilu, Zhang Xin, the new local administrator, had a much better life than Qiao Zhiya. As the former director of the Danzhou Office, Zhang Xin's stay in Danzhou was not too short, and he was relatively clear about the relationship between local people, things, and things, and he was prepared in advance, and he got started soon after Haihan took over the place.

Danzhou's losses during the occupation of the city by "pirates" can be said to be the largest among the prefectures and counties in northern Qiongbei. This refers not only to the casualties caused by the pirate army during the siege of the city, but also to the people and property captured by the pirate army after the capture of Danzhou. Of course, the vast majority of the city's residents were fortunate that shortly after the fall of Danzhou, the Haihan militia quickly came to recover the city and defeated the vicious pirates.

The Haihan Militia that took over the area immediately issued a letter of authorization from the Governor of Liangguang and the Qiongzhou Prefecture, and issued a notice to the people that the Haihan Provisional Agency would take charge of Danzhou and exercise various administrative powers until the local government institutions destroyed by the war were restored to normal operation. If there is anyone who does not accept this, you can go to the prefecture to complain - of course, if someone does go to the prefecture to complain, what will be the result, the security notice does not point out, just wait for the restless people to jump out of the net.

As one of the cities in northern Qiongbei that has been most deeply infiltrated by the Haihan, the Danzhou Office led by Zhang Xin had already handed over to Sanya a list of some local people in Danzhou who were quite prejudiced and even hostile to the Haihan long before the implementation of the "Liaoyuan Plan". During the pirate capture of Danzhou, they used various excuses to purge these people, and by the way, their family property was also confiscated.

After the militia army recovered Danzhou, it was difficult for the local people to hear any voices against Haihan, and even for Haihan's temporary takeover of local government affairs, the gentry in Danzhou naturally acquiesced.

For the ordinary people of Danzhou, the lifestyle of the Haihan people after taking over here has not changed much, what should they do or what they should do, but when there is something, they don't need to go to the state government to toss the lawsuit, but to ask the civil affairs officials of Haihan to administer justice.

It was some local landlords in Danzhou who really felt the pain, and they were soon interviewed by the temporary management committee one by one, and the content was also very consistent, that is, to hand over the land in their hands. Of course, this kind of delivery is still paid, and the Provisional Management Committee does not intend to forcibly seize their land, but the price offered by the Haihan people is indeed difficult to satisfy them.

Haihan people also gave another solution, that is, the landlords will hand over the land as shares to Haihan to operate, and they will simply enjoy the annual dividends as shareholders. Although this kind of income method is not comparable to the harvest they used to hire long-term tenants to grow crops, it is better that they don't have to worry about it, and if they have enough land, the income is enough for the family to eat and wear. Moreover, the Haihan people promise to ensure harvest in drought and flood, and the risk is much smaller than that of their own business. The only drawback is that they will relinquish their right to control the land, which means that they will only have nominal ownership, and how the land will be used in the future is no longer a matter for them to meddle in.

Of course, not everyone will be satisfied with such an exchange condition, and most of the small landlords are forced by the power of the Haihan people, and most of them can only admit it, at least the Haihan people also promised that they can all join the Haihan nationality at any time, at least there is a way to retreat from starvation. Anyway, everyone in the world knows that as long as they enter the Haihan nationality, they don't need to worry about the basic survival needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the Haihan people will naturally arrange them one by one. Some of the landlords and gentry who had more land in their names were not very satisfied with this arrangement, after all, the change in the way the land was run had a greater impact on their income than that of the small landlords.

It's not that no one tried to resist the land policy of the Haihan people by force, but these people often ignore a very simple fact - they can't even stop the pirates, how can they stop the Haihan militia that has beaten the pirates?
