"Uncle, let's plan the direction of development in the future."

Seeing that everything else had been settled, Li Zhao put forward his own ideas.

His idea is very simple, in Chang'an Township, the main development of agriculture, breeding, handicrafts to move to a new place, after all, the development of handicrafts in the future needs to use new technologies.

Yes, Li Zhao's idea is to use new technology to develop the handicraft industry, for example, after the availability of electricity in the future, electric machines will be used, and directly skip steam and switch to electrification, which can be described as a leap forward.

Fertilizer is so, printing is so.

The power plant is located in Shanglinyuan, so these industries will also be gradually moved to Shanglinyuan.

He also has a plan, since he wants to build staff housing, he will produce bricks and cement and ceramic tiles in Shanglin Yuan to create a unique building in Daqin.

"How to plan?" Li Jinong was interested in hearing this, and his nephew's ideas were the most numerous and reliable, and he was happy to listen to them.

"We have bought so much land in Shanglinyuan, I am ready to move the production of paper and fertilizer to Shanglinyuan, and in the future, Chang'an Township will specialize in agriculture and breeding, and Shanglinyuan will engage in manufacturing."

Li Jinong thought about it, and didn't seem to be very happy.

Chang'an Township has been in business for so long and already has some scale, if he moves to Shanglin Yuan, will it have an impact, but he respects his nephew's idea.

"So. It's good. ”

Li Zhao knew what his uncle was thinking, so he said what he thought.

"Uncle, if you think about it, the paper and fertilizer we make will be learned one day, and then the things we rely on for survival will not be very competitive, if we can reform the manufacturing industry, maybe it will be a new breakthrough."

"The reason why I moved the manufacturing industry to Shanglin Yuan was to produce machines."

"Machine production?" Li Jinong was confused, but he became interested and listened attentively.

"Machine production is to directly let the machine produce products without too many manpower, which can reduce a lot of manpower, save costs, and greatly increase output."

Indeed, judging from the development of industry in the previous life, after mechanization, the number of manpower decreased, but the production volume increased significantly, and under such a quantity, the production cost was reduced, and it was in a very favorable competitive state.

Even if others can learn the craft, they can't compete with them, which is the way to produce for a long time.

As for whether the machine will be learned, it is simply impossible, the manufacture of the machine is very complicated, and it needs electricity more, and just one electricity will curb their competition in an inferior state.

"And so it goes!" Li Jinong listened to it as if he was listening to a book from heaven, but when this came out of his nephew's mouth, he couldn't believe it.

"Of course, you just look at it."

After the two discussed, they began to work on the construction of Shanglin Yuan and the relocation of Chang'an Township.

He entrusted this matter to his uncle, so he approached the son of Shen and talked about the construction of the power plant.

Power plants are the foundation of all industrial development, and only when electricity is generated can everything be guaranteed.

He only told his uncle about the use of machine production, and did not tell anyone else, and naturally Shen Gongzi did not know.

"Young Master, what is a power plant? What's the use? "Shen Gongzi is a person who loves to study, and after studying the second book, he found that the second book has infinite wisdom, in order to open up a road to unknown knowledge.

At this moment, when I hear the word power plant, which I have never heard of, I can't help but be curious.

Li Zhao smiled and said, "No matter how much you say now, you won't understand, just look at it then." ”

These words aroused Shen Gongzi's curiosity even more, "Okay, okay, then the young master hurry up and give me a plan, I will take action immediately." ”

Li Zhao did not slack off, and gave the construction drawings and related materials that had already been drawn to Shen Gongzi.

Hydroelectric power is nothing more than the conversion of water energy into electrical energy, and the process is also very simple, which is power generation, power transformation, and power distribution.

Power generation is completed through equipment such as water turbines, and substation is a change in voltage, and power distribution is easier to understand, that is, the distribution of electricity, which is very simple to say, but not easy to do.

It is difficult to produce the various equipment for power generation according to the current situation, but Li Zhao is not worried, he can buy the things that cannot be manufactured from the department store, but the various buildings need to be taken care of by Shen Gongzi.

The basic structure of the hydropower station is roughly divided into seven parts, namely water retaining buildings, water discharge buildings, water inlet buildings, water diversion buildings, flat water buildings, plant buildings and other buildings.

And to build buildings, according to the current production technology, it is not enough, the building of Daqin is still in the primitive stage, although there are Qin bricks, but in other aspects are still relatively backward, want to rely on such material resources to build hydropower stations is a bit unreliable, so, Li Zhao must first manufacture modern bricks, cement, steel, only these three, in order to build a solid building, in order to provide a guarantee for power generation.

To produce bricks, in fact, it is not difficult, Qin bricks are fired from clay, then bricks can also be fired with clay, of course, the method can not take the soil method of Daqin, this can be purchased from the store.

Cement! Daqin didn't appear, but with the existence of a store, it was not difficult, as long as the cheats were purchased at that time and Shen Gongzi was responsible for manufacturing.

There is also steel, Daqin's iron is almost still in the pig iron stage, although pig iron has hardness, it is relatively brittle, and it is not a good building material, so it is necessary to make steel.

Steel is steel, the difference between steel and iron is only the amount of carbon content, so it is not difficult, in order to protect, he also buys cheats from the store, which can be made by Ah Chao and made by the craftsmen of the iron-smelting base in large quantities.

Of course, after having electricity, you need wires, and the best material for making wires is aluminum or copper, aluminum, Li Zhao doesn't know if Daqin has appeared, but copper definitely has it, and it is widely used, such as some weapons, which are made of bronze, and many utensils are also made of bronze.

In this way, you don't have to spend too much energy on copper, as long as you buy it vigorously.

"You start by opening a cement workshop and producing cement." Li Zhao instructed, and handed over the formula and manufacturing method of cement.

There are so many things to do now, and cement and steel are the key to construction, bricks have become secondary, even if they are urgently needed, Qin bricks can be used.

According to the previous life, there are many kinds of cement, and he only gave Shen Gongzi the most common kind, which is easy to produce, and the raw materials are not difficult to find.

"Cement? What is this? ”

"It's something that is fired with limestone and clay as the main raw materials, and the methods are all in it, and he is good at using it."

"Limestone?" As for clay, Shen Gongzi understands, after all, he has learned a lot, green bricks are made of clay, but limestone has never been heard of.

Li Zhao smiled embarrassedly, limestone was a chemical term in his previous life, he naturally didn't know, so he said in another way: "It's rock." ”

"Rocks? A giant in the city walls? ”

Shen Gongzi was surprised.

The city walls are solid, mostly made of rock hooks, and Shen Gongzi was surprised, it is such a hard thing, how to make cement?

"Sort of!" In fact, the gray rock is the more authentic limestone.

"And the plaster, you need to look for it too."

Gypsum is a necessary thing in the post-cement manufacturing stage, and he is afraid that Shen Gongzi will not understand, so he reminds him.

"The plaster is mostly white, and it can be obtained in the mountains, so you can have someone find it."

So, he drew the general shape of the plaster.

Shen Gongzi nodded, took all the information, and left, but he walked very slowly, shaking his head with every step, as if he was exploring something.

Li Zhao smiled bitterly, a person who has never been exposed to modern knowledge, asked him to do modern things, it is really difficult for him, but Li Zhao is not worried, the manufacturing method in the department store is very clear, with the character of Shen Gongzi who loves to study, it is not difficult for him at all, and it is only a matter of time before it is manufactured.

The next thing he needs to do is to build a school and train professionals, so that the hydropower station can continue to develop, of course, this is also to promote electricity, so that the people want electricity.
