Land is always the most valuable resource in the world.

But in the North American West in 1863, it was wild, boundless, and full of opportunities.

Land is not so precious.

Otherwise, Lincoln would not have passed a Homestead Act and distributed land to the Rednecks for almost nothing.

Even if Zhu Fugui took out a sum of money as a Qing national, he might not be able to buy a piece of land under the protection of the federal government now.

However, as soon as the "Chinese Exclusion Act" came out 20 years later, the fierce whiteskins would confiscate all the property of Chinese in the United States.

Even so, Zhu Fugui also seriously considered whether to report to the federal government through "formal" means to report the river valley under his circle.

After all, in the next decade, or rather, when several major railroads were not yet completed and the Chinese still had a lot of value, the white government would still show hypocrisy in welcoming Chinese immigrants.

Even in 1868, in order to facilitate the recruitment of more Chinese laborers to fill the infrastructure with their lives, the federal government also signed the "Anson Treaty" with the Qing government, and China and the United States cross-recognized the right of citizens of the two countries to voluntarily emigrate to each other's countries.

Think about it, Chinese workers are really the worst group in the world, when they were in their prime, the "Anson Treaty" with one hand wanted you to die, and you survived to retire by luck, and the "Chinese Exclusion Act" with the other hand asked you for money.

This is the routine operation of the civilized lighthouse nation.

……

In short, in the end, Zhu Fugui still did not contact the officials of the federal government to buy land, sought skin with the tiger, and was finally devoured by the tiger.

Anyway, the Cloud Tribe is far enough away that the white sheriff in Seattle town can't manage it for the time being.

Since he has not had contact with the whiteskins, Zhu Fugui naturally has no way to recruit qualified architects.

I have to admit that if you want to rely on Yin people and Chinese workers, you can't design a reliable large factory.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui can only ask for help on the platform.

After a brief search, Zhu Fugui found that the structural drawings of various factories were surprisingly cheap.

As long as 8 pieces of 8, you can buy a complete set of CAD architectural drawings for the production workshop of the factory.

So what's there to hesitate about?

Zhu Fugui immediately bought it.

After decompressing and opening, Zhu Fugui was dumbfounded.

With a certain CAD foundation, Zhu Fugui can understand these drawings, but the specifications of this factory are too high, and it is actually the planning and design of 3,000 employees.

After a lot of effort, Zhu Fugui finally found a suitable design drawing in a package package of [Suyuan Project Collection].

[Jixinshan Farm Supporting (7)], this is the design of a small sawmill.

The small sawmill is part of the Jixinshan Farm, a food security project in the Qilian Mountains in the 50s to serve a military research project in the Qinghai region.

Since it is also located near a desolate and remote mountain range, the design of [Jixinshan Farm Package (7)] can be perfectly replicated in the river valley near the Cloud Tribe with only a few minor modifications.

Zhu Fugui checked the factory on the Internet, but there was no relevant information.

I searched with a satellite map, but I didn't find anything.

After all, it was built 70 years ago, and it is estimated that it has long been abandoned.

Moreover, there are often earthquakes in Qinghai, and this kind of semi-permanent simple factory will definitely not survive now.

Although the life expectancy is limited, Zhu Fugui never wanted to build a factory that could serve as a historical site in the future.

On the contrary, for the current situation, this simple factory has many advantages.

It is built very quickly, and prefabricated angle steel, section steel, and asbestos tiles can be built very quickly.

You don't even need to lay a foundation in the real sense, just dig a large pit of tens of centimeters, put the steel beams into it, and pour cement.

This is most suitable for Chinese workers and Yin people who have no experience in construction.

However, while planning, planning, Zhu Fugui found a problem, he seemed to have forgotten the source of electricity.

The source of electricity for [Jixinshan Farm Package (7)] is [Jixinshan Farm Package (3)], which is a small thermal power plant.

Where does Zhu Fugui have the money to build a thermal power plant?

The river next to the site may be able to build a hydropower plant upstream in the future, but it is certainly not possible at the moment.

Thinking about it, Zhu Fugui's only reliable choice is to turn the backup power system of [Jixinshan Farm Supporting (1)] into a positive one as the conventional power system of [Daming Royal Timber Mill].

The diesel motor with a power of 180 kilowatts is about only 20,000 yuan to buy second-hand goods on salted fish, which is enough.

Zhu Fugui also has this budget, no matter how big the power is, he can't even afford diesel, so he can only let Lao Li use love to generate electricity.

The rest is tools like cutters, welders, sawsaws for felling, and vehicles for transporting timber.

Modern enterprises and modern tools can destroy this primeval forest as quickly as possible before the whites.

Zhu Fugui is determined to rush forward on the road of pollution first and then treatment.

……

Zhu Fugui looked at the long shopping list and the money spent like water, and felt that his heart was dripping blood.

Although he can buy second-hand, he can buy second-hand, and although all the materials that can be omitted such as cement mixers are omitted, Zhu Fugui still spent almost 250,000 yuan.

Building materials such as asbestos tiles and cement are relatively cheap, but there are always bits and pieces of new tricks popping out of Zhu Fugui's head.

Workers need uniform tooling when they enter the company, right? Two sets for one person are always necessary for easy cleaning, right?

These four or five hundred sets of clothes were used up for 20,000 yuan.

There are many other extra-budgetary expenses such as these.

In the past, he thought that it was a disease for women to be unable to control their hands when they went to the supermarket, but now Zhu Fugui thinks it is very reasonable.

Fortunately, the products he bought were all legal products, and he was not extorted by the system for "illegal cover-up tax", and the civilization value could still be maintained.

But in the end, Zhu Fugui found that there was a hole that he couldn't close no matter how flat he was.

That's the brick-concrete fence that the factory needs, or at least the brick-concrete fence that the special warehouse needs.

In Zhu Fugui's factory plan, there are two warehouses, one is a warehouse for timber and other things that can be sold to future generations.

The other is used to store the materials purchased by later generations.

That's all it is for the previous warehouse.

The latter warehouse had to have a special design.

It had to feel like there was indeed a secret force transporting precious supplies inside.

Other factories are ready to use asbestos tiles for roofing, but this special warehouse uses prefabricated panels, and the walls are also brick and concrete walls.

The advantage of asbestos tile is that it is cheap, but it is easy to break and perforate, while prefabricated panels do not.

For a long time, especially after the Wenchuan earthquake, prefabricated panels became synonymous with death.

However, Zhu Fugui's warehouse is not inhabited, so there are no safety concerns.

In addition to the reinforcement of the warehouse itself, the necessary perimeter walls were needed to increase security and mystery.

It is better to fence off the entire factory area and separate the special warehouses separately.

If you buy red bricks or cement bricks from later generations, you will inevitably overspend your budget.

In fact, the use of stone instead of red bricks and cement can also achieve high building strength, that is, the weight is relatively large, but Zhu Fugui did not plan to build a building, so there is no big problem.

It's a pity that many quarries have been banned in later generations, and the price of stone is more expensive than brick.

……

"Long live Lord, what are you worried about?"

Old Eunuch Li warmed up the eight-treasure porridge for Zhu Fugui, and brought it over carefully, seeing Zhu Fugui's hands on his cheeks and his eyes were blank, he couldn't help but persuade, "Long live the lord, those ocean factories are beautiful, but our family is thin, it's better to take it slowly, plant crops for a few years first, didn't Grandpa Taizu say that he would build a high wall and accumulate grain......"

"This Citigroup Country is really a good place, there are fertile fields everywhere, these foreign devils are really bad things, open a coal mine, how much land is crushed by the broken stones that blow up the mountain, then you can grow crops!"

"Stones?"

Zhu Fugui raised his head suddenly, "Haha, Lao Li really has yours, right, these foreign devils are really a waste, let's go help them!" ”
