Chapter 86 Zunhua Industrial Zone

Another reason, although He Xi came from later generations, he knew that it was only a scientific framework, and now he has contributed all his knowledge about the steam engine, so it can be said that the research idea is absolutely right.

But what is the gap between the right thinking and the implementation? He Xi didn't know.

He really misses the Chinese engineers of later generations, the kind of ability that can be built at a glance, and he only knows how awesome it is at this moment.

He Xi can only leave things to time.

Wait.

King Yan only thought He Xi was modest, and didn't say anything. Rather, it was the width of the carriage, and the whole carriage was about a little more than a meter. "How long can these two pack horses maintain this speed?" ”

He Xi said: "Fifteen miles, generally can maintain this speed, about half an hour, calculated is between ten miles and fifteen miles, in fact, it can be a little farther, but even pack horses are also precious, can not be too tired, of course, it is also not far from Zunhua itself, there may not be many war horses in Beijing, but there are many pack horses." It can be arranged a little more densely. It's also considered to increase speed. ”

King Yan silently calculated and said, "In this way, in about two hours, you will be able to reach Zunhua?" ”

He Xi said: "Your Highness is well aware of the geography of Beijing, but it is true to get to Zunhua, but it is faster to see Zunhua." ”

King Yan said: "How do you say this? ”

He Xi stood up with the car door, put his hand on the pergola, looked at it for a while, and said to King Yan: "Your Highness, take a closer look, the place where those smoke pillars are located is Zunhua." ”

Yan Wang also stood up, holding the car door with one hand, and looked carefully. King Yan's archery skills are very good. And the key to archery is not only the strength of the arms, but also the good eyes. His eyes were much better than He Xi's eyes, and he saw the pillar of smoke at a glance.

Not one, but many, and although they were far away, they looked like a jungle of smoke columns.

King Yan said: "It seems that the beacon fire will not be able to be used in the future. ”

When He Xi heard this, he couldn't help but smile, this sentence gave He Xi the feeling that the café was almost better than that of a certain general, because it was convenient to set up a machine gun.

Indeed, the beacon towers are generally thirty miles apart, because within thirty miles, if there is no cover, you can clearly see the beacon smoke thirty miles away, but now it is different. One winter, He Xi vigorously promoted the use of steam engines, and now the steam engine has also been introduced, which is simply a large boiler workshop. It is even more impossible to do anything with the smoke.

Therefore, it is normal for columns of smoke to rise into the sky. In the past, although there were many blast furnaces for steelmaking, the number was limited. But now it is different, steel-making furnaces, iron furnaces, steam engines, brick kilns, etc., these smoking things together easily exceed two or three hundred. It's not like that.

Don't say that smoke pollution hinders the beacon fire, in fact, He Xi himself has some worries. That is, Zunhua is north of the new Beijing city, and the north wind is mostly in the north, that is, in winter, it is likely to blow the smoke of Zunhua into the city of Beijing, which is not easy to do.

Fortunately, generally speaking, the northwest wind in the north is the majority, and the construction of the Zunhua Industrial Zone has only begun, and there is still room for redemption.

He Xi has decided that the Zunhua Industrial Zone will develop to the northeast in the future.

About an hour later, He Xi and Yan Wang had already come to the outside of Zunhua Industrial Zone.

This Zunhua Industrial Zone is not a government statement. He Xi prepared that after the completion of the construction of Beijing, with the Planning Department as the core, the Beijing Prefecture Yamen would be established, and the Zunhua area would be turned into a district of Beijing at that time. Implement the urban system. At that time, Zunhua District will really be established.

Now, it's just a plan on paper.

After King Yan got out of the car, he was silent for a while and said, "This is Zunhua? ”

To be precise, the core of Zunhua District is not Zunhua City, but Zunhua Iron Works, which expands around Zunhua Iron Works. Fortunately, Zunhua is sparsely populated here, and there are fewer people than Beijing, so it is not too difficult to acquire land.

However, the previous Zunhua Iron Works was just a camp of the imperial court, and the largest number of people was only 3,000 to 5,000 people, and the smallest was only a few hundred. It's not as big as a big village.

But today's Zunhua Industrial Zone is not trivial.

As mentioned earlier, the use of the steam engine was limited, which caused a thing that could be done in several houses in later generations, and if the machine was used, it would require a large area. Fortunately, in this day and age, land is not valuable. Not to mention the vast and sparsely populated north.

It's nothing.

But today, dozens of factories gathered together, which also made Yan Wang a little amazed, here made him think about it the most, that is, Taiping Iron Factory and Yingkou City, but here and those two places are also very different.

Taiping Iron Works is a large factory, mainly water transportation. And the planning of Yingkou is very chaotic. This is also the disorderly expansion of Yingkou. He Xi is also inexperienced, although he made some plans, but the plans couldn't keep up with the changes, and finally it became a mess.

But now it is different, the Zunhua Industrial Park itself is in Beijing's construction plan, and it has been planned from the beginning.

The northwesternmost location is the Zunhua Iron Plant, the core of the Zunhua Industrial Zone, and there are two cinder-paved roads in the northwest, which do not know how far they stretch, deep into the mountains, and these two roads lead to the place where the coal mine and iron mine are located.

In the whole industrial zone, the roads are horizontal and vertical, and some factories have courtyard walls, and some do not have courtyard walls, but the land owned by each factory is divided. There is no longer the messy appearance of Yingkou. Not to mention, there is a railway that goes deep into it and goes directly to the Zunhua Iron Works.

It's just that there is no city wall, which looks a little unaccustomed to King Yan.

In comparison, there are walls everywhere prosperous. More than 30,000 workers have already gathered here, and with their respective families, the number will only be more, not less.

And in this case, there are many more people than many counties in the north. Not to mention that Zunhua is also an important place in the north, strategically strong, and there is no city wall, which makes King Yan very unaccustomed.

King Yan said: "This matter is good, but when will the city wall be repaired?" ”

He Xi never thought of building a city wall for Zunhua City, because He Xi knew very well that in the future, it was very likely that from here to outside Beijing, it would become an industrial zone, and large factories would be connected, what kind of city wall should be built? How big is it to repair? However, He Xi didn't say anything to King Yan, but just smiled: "I will definitely repair it in the future." ”

King Yan didn't care either, and said, "There are so many people? ”

He Xi said: "There are not many people, and they are already few." ”

King Yan heard what He Xi said and said, "Why are there not enough people?" ”

He Xi nodded and said, "Yes, there are not enough people." ”

There are not enough people. It's not enough.

Even if He Xi has improved the technical content in many aspects, that is, he can do more things with fewer people. But the problem is that even so, the technical content that He Xi can improve is not high, not to mention, the amount of new Beijing City project promoted by He Xi is much larger than that of Yan Wang's construction of Beijing City.

Not to mention, He Xi's high standard requirements for Beijing City, not to mention, the supporting projects outside the city for the construction of the city. Just to say, the industrial plan attached to Beijing is quite a lot in terms of engineering volume, almost rebuilding an industrial city.

He Xi used many means to gather in Zunhua, Beijing, and there were already more than 100,000 people. But it's still not enough.

After all, He Xi plans to build the main body of the project, that is, the city wall of Beijing, and the water conservancy project outside the city within a year. You must know that the Beijing City Project in the Ming Dynasty was built in four dynasties for decades. From the Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and Orthodox four dynasties, it can be regarded as a complete end.

At least one million people are employed.

This is not something that can be replaced by improving that little bit of technology at the same time.

It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Needless to say, material resources are needed here. With the industrial capacity of Liaodong and Beijing, most of it can still be supplied. The only problem is manpower, if it can't be solved, He Xi will have to discuss with Shen Guogong whether he can select some of the dozens of health centers in Beijing and put them all into the project.

It's just that that's not what He Xi wants.

Thinking of this, He Xi sighed slightly, but this sigh seemed to make King Yan misunderstand.
