Chapter 678 If you want to mine, you must first build roads
Yang Cheng should be in Chaoyang County.
The topography of Chaoyang County is different from other places, with plains to the northwest and Daling River and Phoenix Mountain to the southeast.
Correspondingly, the layout of the city has to be changed according to the terrain.
Yang Chengying set up the military camp in the northeast corner.
It is bounded by the Gushanzi River, a tributary of the Daling River, with a military area in the northeast and a living area in the southwest.
With more than 100,000 people, tens of thousands of soldiers, and more than 10,000 craftsmen, it is terrifying to operate.
As soon as Yang Chengying arrived in Chaoyang County, he began urban planning and construction.
For every 100 households, a Fumin official was arranged, who took the plan drawn in advance and began to organize the construction of houses.
Building a house requires cutting down trees.
This is a kind of destruction for the vegetation of Chaoyang County in a short time.
Follow the principle of development before governance.
Wait for the people of Chaoyang County to settle down, and then start planting and river management.
The armed forces do not participate in the construction of production and life.
They had one of their more important tasks – building roads.
Northeast of Chaoyang County, handsome tent.
There was a thick woolen blanket on the floor.
Yang Chengying sat cross-legged in the main seat.
The generals sat on the left and right sides.
In the middle are several maps in cowhide or sheepskin, with road maps clearly drawn.
With Chaoyang County as the center, one leads to Wawu Town in the southwest, and the other leads to Yi County in Bac Ninh Province to the west.
"The army was divided into three and three shifts were practiced. That is, one shift of work and two shifts of rest. ”
Yang Chengying said: "One shift a day, almost one day of work, two days off. ”
The benefits of this are clear.
It can not only ensure the orderly progress of the project, but also ensure that some soldiers have the physical strength to deal with emergencies.
Seeing that everyone had no other opinions, Yang Chengying ordered: "Huang Degong, Liu Wuyuan, and Han Daxun are divided into three classes, each leading one class, and doing things with me." ”
"Yes." The three of them responded in unison.
Huang Degong is the division commander, Liu Wuyuan is the deputy division commander, and Han Daxun is the supervising army.
"The whole institute of science and technology is also divided into three classes, the first class is Mr. Mao, the second class is Mr. Sun, and the third class is Mr. Song."
Yang Chengying continued: "Mr. Mao took the lead and built houses and other foundations in Wawu Town; Mr. Sun was the second batch, and Mr. Song stayed in Chaoyang to continue the basic experiments. ”
"Okay."
Mao Yuanyi, Sun Yuanhua, Tang Ruowang and Song Yingxing nodded.
Wawu Town has a rare manganese mine in the Northeast.
Manganese ore and iron ore are fused together to obtain ferromanganese.
That's much harder than regular steel.
However, it is more than seventy kilometers from here to the town of Wa House.
You can only go in batches, otherwise the logistics will not be available.
"Tiger Dawei!"
Yang Chengying shouted.
"Yes." Tiger Dawei is out of the ranks.
"You lead an elite army to protect Mr. Mao first."
"Yes." Hu Dawei stepped back.
"Fierce as a tiger."
"Yes."
"You protect Mr. Sun."
"Yes."
After arranging the safety work of the technicians who went out, Yang Chengying turned his head to arrange people's livelihood.
"Lord Zuo, the civil affairs here will be handed over to you." Yang Chengying said.
Zuo Yingxuan hugged his fist and said: "Please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely complete the task." ”
He was previously responsible for copper mine development.
Not long ago, Yang Chengying transferred him from the mine to serve as the chief of general staff of the New Sixth Division.
Zuo Yingxuan, who has served as a county magistrate, is a piece of cake for administrative work such as resettlement of the people.
"When we finish building the camp and rest for three days, we will start building the road."
Yang Chengying said.
What he wants to build is not an ordinary road, but a road in the modern sense.
To build roads, Yang Chengying has some experience.
He presided over the construction of the road to Fort Guifu in Golden State.
However, due to the lack of skilled personnel at that time, it was difficult to describe the road to be built.
Anyone who has ever been in the countryside knows that no matter how well you build a dirt road at the beginning, as long as it gets rained, it will become potholes.
The crushing of vehicles can also make the road sink deeper and deeper.
Roads in the modern sense are very different.
It officially appeared as an engineer of the Napoleonic era, Teresa Gai.
Britain built on his foundation and laid down two principles of modern highways.
First, the road should rely on natural foundations, and at the same time do a good job of drainage.
Second, the road surface should be made of angular gravel, which is tightly locked with each other to form a solid road surface.
To do this, it is necessary not only to have the ability to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, but also to have the skills of engineering design.
Therefore, Yang Chengying handed over the highway design work to John Tang.
First build the road to the manganese mine, and then build it to Yixian.
From Yixian County to the northeast, through Dajingbao, to Fuxin open-pit coal mining area.
A complete ore industry chain has been formed.
This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Cheng should be in Dajingbao and the late Subudi.
That's what he thought about at the time.
In the north in August, the clouds are quiet and the sky is high, and the mountains and rivers are wide.
Outside the yurt, more than a dozen lamas lead horses.
The lama at the head asked the owner of the yurt for a bowl of mare's milk wine.
They don't drink in vain, they give money.
But no one dared to take advantage of the situation to rob the lama of his money.
Because, the people who followed this lama were all burly lamas.
Even if you can't beat it, you can protect the thin lama led by you and get out smoothly.
The thin lama and the other great lamas drank mare's milk wine, and then asked the master, "This donor, how to get to Daning City?" ”
He is fluent in Mongolian.
The owner of the yurt glanced at the thin lama, and the appearance of these people did not look like Mongolians, but like they came from Tibet.
The skin reveals a healthy blackness.
The master said: "I take the liberty of asking, what are you doing in Daning City?" ”
"We are believers from the snowy plateau, and we have something to visit the Venerable Da Ming Ji Liao Jinglu."
The skinny lama is also not afraid to expose the purpose.
Along the way, he was surprised to find that every tribe he went to, when he heard that he was going to see the scriptures, he would open the door widely.
This yurt owner is no exception.
As soon as he heard that they were going to see Jingluo, the master smiled and said: "If you are Jingluo, he is not in Daning City, but in Chaoyang County, southeast of Daning City." ”
Chaoyang County? The skinny lama hadn't heard of it.
He asked, "Why is Jinglu there?" ”
"I don't know." The master shook his head.
"Then may I ask, how to get to Chaoyang County?" The skinny lama asked again.
The host pointed to a road in the east: "Well, go east from this road, and see a lot of houses, which is Chaoyang County." ”
The thin lama nodded, and then asked curiously, "How did you know so much detail?" ”
"The cattle and sheep I raised were all sent there, and they were exchanged for a lot of good things."
When he said this, a smile appeared on the face of the yurt owner.
Only then did the thin lama notice that the master had all kinds of gadgets hanging on his body.
It's all something that is unimaginable to the average herder family in the west.
It's good for ordinary herdsmen to have a jacket.
"Thank you."
The thin lama then said a few words of blessing and then turned back to his companion.
"Let's go, let's go to Chaoyang County and meet Yang Jingluo."
"Yes, Winsa Living Buddha."
