Chapter 135: Anxi Town
readx;
The silver here was sent to Hu Zhifu, and Hu Zhifu was also caught by Zhu Lin for his pigtails because of the previous incident. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is not good to push. Zhu Lin has completed all the formalities. Anyway, when the time comes, Zhu Lin will be able to participate in the scientific examination directly in the capital. You don't have to take the test step by step. Get it done. If you go to the capital, you can take the exam directly. Originally, yes, it has only been quiet for a few years. Because Jiangbei suffered from wars and natural disasters in the first few years, how could there be any scholars to take the exam. Those who can read also run, scatter, and die. The imperial court is also very generous to Jiangbei, as long as you are a scholar, you can go directly to the capital to take the exam. Otherwise, as before, the examination will be carried out step by step, and the children will be tested for their talents, and if they are still tested as before, they will have to be tested until the Year of the Monkey! In addition to the frequent wars in Jiangbei, how many scholars can calm down and study. It is estimated that there are few who can pass the test. Most of the elites of the Jiangbei scholars went south with the imperial court. All that was left was some crooked melons and cracked dates. Xuezheng of Jiangbei Province was also worried when he saw this situation, so he had to ask the emperor again and again. I beg forgiveness, otherwise there will not be many scholars going to the exam. Even if there were, few of them could get in. As for the imperial court, it also agreed to take into account the actual situation in Jiangbei. He gave a holy decree to the yamen of the three provinces that Jiangbei could only control. As long as those who are willing to participate in the Spring Festival, the yamen of the prefectures and counties at all levels shall not be obstructed. Take the spring exam directly. In the words of Xuezheng, this can be regarded as 'reducing talents without sticking to one pattern'.
Everything was almost done, and Zhu Lin got on a boat specially prepared for Zhu Lin, pulled on the sails, and went south to the capital along the canal. Before going to the capital, Zhu Lin took advantage of the convenience of water transportation to go to Anxi Town. This Anxi town, surrounded by mountains on three sides, faces a canal, if there is no water transportation, the traffic is very inconvenient. Because of the unobstructed canal now, coupled with Zhu Lin's mining of iron ore and the construction of a large number of factories here. The dilapidated town of Anzai has returned to its former prosperity. Zhu Lin did not let people dock the boat on the dock, but docked the boat to the side. I landed in a small boat. The local officials who got the news and waited to greet Zhu Lin released a pigeon. Zhu Lin got off the boat and didn't go to the town, got into the carriage and hurried to Zhu Lin's factory in the northwest corner of Anxi Town. When he arrived at a few factories in the northwest corner of the town, Zhu Lin, who was accustomed to seeing the large-scale industrial parks of later generations, couldn't help but gasp when he saw his factory. What kind of factory is this? It's a whole large-scale industrial park, with factories next to each other, and factories under construction. There is an endless stream of carriages transporting various materials and goods on the road, and Zhu Lin can actually encounter traffic jams here. It's been blocked for a long time.
"Chief Manager Yang, are these factories ours?" asked Zhu Lin as he looked at the silver-haired Yang Wangnan.
"Young master, these are not our factories, our factories rely on mines. There, against the place called Wotou Mountain, there are a few big chimneys, and you have to pass through this workshop area. Yang Wangnan said.
"So what's going on with these factories and workshops? Zhu Lin asked.
"Young master, some of these factories and workshops already exist. There are also some that were repaired later. They were all repaired by some landlords in Huaicheng. You see, those cement factories are some of the Huaicheng majors. Yang Wangnan explained.
After Zhu Lin heard about it, his face became a little gloomy. The technology of producing cement is simple and complex. How can they learn it? Yang Wangnan looked at Zhu Lin's gloomy face. He asked, "Young Master, are you uncomfortable?"
"No, it's just how these landlords and old money have the technology to make cement. Zhu Lin said unhappily.
"Uh, this, don't worry, young master. Those technologies were bought from us. Asking for patent money. It costs 10,000 taels of silver to buy cement manufacturing technology. And for every 100 catties of cement produced, a royalty of three dollars of silver is required. We sold all the unimportant technologies. What remains is some of the core technologies. ā
When Zhu Lin heard it, he started selling patent fees. "How do you make sure that these technologies don't pass on?"
"Young master, don't worry. The technology they spent money on was all held in their hands like treasures, so how could they reveal it! Not to mention that they had signed an agreement with us. If there is a leak in the case of the technology. Not only will we be able to track it down, but the local government will also be able to track it down. Because the local government will also collect money from it. Once you sit down, you steal the technology. That is, the local government will punish you and bankrupt your family. ā
"Did the local government also collect the money?"
"After receiving it, every 100 catties of cement produced will be handed over to the local government for three cents of silver. In order to ensure the tax revenue here, the local government will also desperately protect these technologies from leakage. And those landlords who bought the technology will not be so stupid, sell the technology easily, and train an opponent for themselves. Even if you sell it, you have to go through us. We have absolute control over these technologies. Moreover, the raw materials of cement are all pulled over for them to fire after we have prepared them. What they bought was the technology of the cement kiln. We will never sell those cement formulas. ā
The two of them talked and arrived at Zhu Lin's own factory. Several tall chimneys were emitting thick smoke there, and Zhu Lin got out of the carriage, and a pungent smell went straight to his nose. Time is pressing, and Zhu Lin doesn't have much time to turn around. There is no mine to leave the factory. Yang Jianchao accompanied him around the factory a few times. Four blast furnaces with a monthly output of more than 10,000 catties of pig iron. Two open-hearth furnaces with a monthly output of 4,000 catties of steel. There are also three small open-hearth stoves, with a monthly output of less than a thousand catties. It is smelted with special steel. For the manufacture of gun barrels and barrels. The yield is not high, but the effect is absolutely good. Two of the three furnaces are for mass production, and one is dedicated to the development of various steels. Zhu Lin doesn't know much about this, although he did it in a small steelmaking factory in his previous life, but those are ready-made. Scrap steel bought is re-smelted. Although it is smelted strip steel, it is definitely not the kind of three-no product. The kind of inferior strip steel that can be broken as soon as it is broken. Zhu Lin knows some steel additives, but they are all ready-made. For example, additives for desulfurization and decarburization. There are also some metallic elements added. But now there is none, so you can only try it one by one. For example, the steel used to make the barrel of the gun was made by adding a kind of Ula bar stone to it. Although I found it by chance, it also opened a door for everyone. After visiting the steel workshop, Zhu Lin hurriedly took people to see several other workshops, casting workshop, and hot rolling workshop. In the hot rolling workshop, Zhu Lin actually saw the iron bucket in his previous life. Not less. According to Yang Wangnan, this thing sells very well. There are large orders every day. It's simply in short supply. Zhu Lin wiped the sweat from his head, and said in his heart that the tin bucket was so easy to sell! It is more strict to enter the casting workshop and machining workshop. If it weren't for Yang Wangnan leading, Zhu Lin probably wouldn't let him in. After Zhu Lin entered, he realized why this place was so strict. This is the production of barrels and barrels, the barrels are forged with a steam hammer, and the barrels are cast. Several workers were grinding the chamber of the cannon with an improvised machine tool there.
Zhu Lin saw more than a dozen large and small cannon barrels standing there. There are big and small. "Chief Yang, how can this cannon barrel be big and small?"
"Oh, young master, that's right. Some of these barrels are jack guns and hundred-pound guns. The specifications are different, so the barrels made are also different. There are also gun mounts in the workshop over there. These are all ordered by Chief Engineer Yang. Now Zhang Jue and the others are studying what hydraulic stationary and reversing machine is over there. ā
Zhu Lin originally wanted to go and see it, but after thinking about it, he didn't bother them. Maybe they've just come up with an idea, and if they bother, they'll be bothered by that flash of thought. That was Zhu Lin's great sin.
After Zhu Lin saw the steel plant, he didn't stop at all, and he didn't even eat lunch, so he hurriedly went to the chemical plant. The chemical plant is even more heavily guarded, with barbed wire, trenches, and watchtowers. Guarding here are Chang Yulin and Du Fen and a few others. Part of the children is also here. The workshop is a bit far from the steel mill and the town. And there is a large puddle of water behind the plant. Each workshop here is a reinforced concrete structure, and the workshop is surrounded by a fence to protect the four winds. Because chemical products are very toxic. Yang Wangnan didn't let Zhu Lin enter the workshop, he didn't let him live or die, just kidding, everything in it can turn people away. Zhu Lin could only go around a circle, except for the workshop where caustic soda was made, Zhu Lin took a look, and Zhu Lin only knew the name of the rest of the workshop. For example, the workshop for making sulfuric acid and the workshop for making nitric acid, and the hydrochloric acid workshop are being planned. Anyway, the mother of three acids and two alkalis, these industries, is almost complete. Although all are prepared using the laboratory preparation method. Although the various finished products produced are not very pure, the problem of having and not having has been solved. This can't be too harsh and forced. Although Yang Jianchao studied chemical engineering, he has no professional equipment. You see, caustic soda is still causticized. Why? Could it be that Yang Jianchao, a chemical engineer, doesn't know the Hou's alkali making method? But in this era, what if you know it? A single electrolysis can make it difficult for you to die. Generators know the principle, but if you give you wires and magnets, you can build a generator that can electrolyze salt water. That winding coil can get you in trouble. Even if it is built, the transmission and stabilization of electricity can make it difficult for you to die. Use batteries, how many batteries do you have to use to support the huge amount of electrolysis power? Yang Jianchao did a good job and realized the shortcomings. Step by step. Now all the problems are solved first, and then the problems are solved. The three acids are coming soon, so will it be far from that yellow explosive? Take your time!
