With the completion of the iron smelting center in Hubei Province, the military factory area in Beiping and the military factory area in Jinzhou also divided part of the military industry, such as the factory that produced water kettles for the army.

In the exhibition room of the military kettle manufacturing factory, the first military kettle unearthed in the Qin State was placed, followed by the Tang Dynasty and even the Song Dynasty.

The military kettle of the Qin Dynasty is similar in appearance to the military kettle used by the German army in later generations.

The same style, even the strap is similar, the Qin Dynasty's military kettle material is made of copper, and the strap is made of thin iron chains, if you go to the museum to see, it will give people the same magical sense of crossing.

The sac-shaped copper kettle of the Qin Dynasty consisted of an upright inner tank and a cloth jacket, the inner tank was made of hard thick leather, or a lacquered wooden box, and the outer part of the inner tank was a soft cloth bag.

The reason why you can see that the appearance is sac-shaped, but it is made into a body and lid that can be buckled, is that the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty not only wanted to express the outer layer of the pouch, but also did not want to inform people about the inner tank structure of the sac, so they made such a special treatment.

"In the Tang Dynasty, with the increase of national strength and the strength of the army, not only the source of soldiers, but also the development of a large number of military materials, such as the military kettle popularized in the army."

"However, in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, in order to prevent Han generals, a large number of Hu generals were used in the border areas, which not only brought rich technology to the Hu people in the border areas, but also advanced military organization capabilities."

"These military kettles, unearthed are in the Hu army, although they are used by the Hu army, they are actually produced by the Tang people, so they are considered the civilization of the Tang people, not the civilization of the Hu people."

Several military officials inspected the arsenal and brought a large number of orders, and the director of the factory personally accompanied them.

Skillful introduction by the staff.

The young man said with a look of regret, "It's a pity that the Tang people themselves have become in internal strife, while the Hu people in the border areas have become powerful opponents by relying on the mature system they inherited and the advanced military system. ”

"The demise of the Song Dynasty, although it accounted for the main reason, but the Tang people's legacy of external troubles, also accounted for a certain proportion, how rich the Tang Dynasty was, how rich the legacy left to the border Hu people, led to a qualitative leap in the local production environment."

Really.

With the words of the staff, everyone showed heavy thoughts.

These are the norms.

When something becomes a job, there is not much emotion, and it all depends on oneself.

"The kettle newly produced by our factory belongs to the casting process, and there are two main processes, one is the copper manufacturing, and the other is the leather material pressing process, which is the same as the kettle of the Qin Dynasty, and here is the hidden buckle."

After the previous paragraph, the staff immediately smiled and introduced their own products.

The atmosphere in the hall was very good.

Just finished the spiritual baptism, the officials listened very attentively, and also paid attention to the inconspicuous military kettle, without the idleness of the previous wandering.

The factory director smiled in his heart, it seems that today's order can't run.

A few days ago, I spent a lot of money to ask scholars to write a few sets of scripts for the factory, and the effect was really amazing.

"When the kettle is not used, the hidden buckle ensures that the lid is firmly fixed on the body of the kettle, and when drinking water, you only need to press this hidden button, which is convenient and easy, and meets the needs of the army."

"The clasp between the lid and the kettle is a segmented design, the upper and lower buckles are inserted into the pin on one side, the kettle is flat, and the lid does not use the thin chain designed by the Qin Dynasty, but is replaced by a belt provided by the Senan area, which is easy to carry and comfortable."

In the end, after discussion, the military department ordered 20,000 sets of military kettles.

The factory director smiled from ear to ear.

As long as this cooperation is good, there is no need to worry about the next cooperation, if the whole army uses the kettle, it is hundreds of thousands of sets, plus civilian and commercial, and even annual replacement, it is already a large amount of new industry.

Chenshi.

It's dawn.

Daye Iron Mine in Hubei Province.

After the separation of Huguang Province, the staff of the Exploration Department of the Daming Industry Bureau, according to the records left by Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei once smelted weapons in the Daye area, and explored the high-quality iron ore area with high reserves and high quality in the local area.

Historically, the large-scale mining here began in the late Qing Dynasty with the Westernization Movement, and in modern times it has become the main ore supply base of Wuhan Iron and Steel.

According to the local geographical advantages and the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Daming Industry Bureau has developed the local iron-smelting industry on a large scale and has become one of the main iron ore supply bases in the south.

In particular, more than ten years ago, a large number of outstanding workers in Beiping went south to support the development of Hubei's iron smelting industry, providing the foundation for the local economy to soar.

Just like the old industrial base in Northeast China in later generations, it also sent talents from all walks of life to the whole country, and this group of people also obtained the best living treatment at that time, as well as higher post retirement, and had the leisure and laughter of "Hainan of the four northeastern provinces" in the future.

It is precisely because of the strong foundation and the great development of the Internet in later generations that when many people are still prejudiced, young people in the Northeast have become an excellent source of bloggers, accounting for half of the country.

Most of the top anchors are even from the Northeast.

With the rapid development of productivity, it has long been free from the shackles of traditional industries, and the Internet economy is also a new industrial economy, and brings more benefits to ordinary people.

Being able to take out money from the purses of wealthy groups, and the circulation of wealth is in line with the development of natural things, and the Internet industry in developed foreign regions has long been like this.

Beautiful houses were built in the dormitory area.

There are rows of two-storey small buildings, as well as four- and five-storey long buildings, and the extensive use of boilers provides heat for the factory and heating the homes through pipes.

Similar to the development of Beiping, it formed a semi-closed small society.

The smooth Keju field, bamboo courts, tall drama theaters, song and dance theaters, as well as the rise of acrobatic troupes, swimming pools, archery clubs, and horseback riding arenas have led to more tertiary industries.

At the gate of the factory, on the billboard, the new announcement was full of people.

The canteen of the factory is about to be reformed.

No longer provide free food to the outside world, at a lower price than the market, or directly pay for food stamps, or buy cheaper food coupons from the factory, half a month later officially began to implement.

In contrast.

The wages of workers at all levels have finally risen on a large scale for more than a decade.

The wages of the most ordinary workers have risen from one yuan a month to one yuan and two dimes, an increase of one-fifth.

"It's weird."

"Either it doesn't rise, or it rises sharply, I don't understand."

The workers were talking to each other.

The concentration of the population has brought about a new ecological chain.

The peasants were tied to the land and could not form effective communication, while the workers, especially in these industrial centers, where tens of thousands of workers lived and worked together, and the circulation of information was not comparable to that of traditional societies.

All sorts of rhetoric were born and circulated among the workers.

"It's for the farmers."

A foreman said firmly.

"The setback of the large well system in the north in the south not only led to the inefficiency of agriculture, but also hindered the adjustment of the social population.

Some shook their heads.

Some say it's good, some say it's not.

For better or worse, the workers' incomes have gotten higher.

The reform of the canteen has released part of the consumption to the outside world, as if overnight, there are more than 30% more stalls and vendors in the Daye Iron Mine area, and more and more are opened, and there is a trend of a city that never sleeps.

Night.

Workers' Square.

Hundreds of young men and women, some of them sit shyly in the corner, and some dance in the ballroom.

On the table brought by the staff during the day, there were not only melons and fruits, but also some extravagant sweets.

A woman with a big belly commands the women below.

"Aunt Li, when are you going to take maternity leave?"

The friendship that is held regularly will have a mature process, everyone does their own work, looking at the various expressions of the newcomers, they are not surprised, and many people surround the Li family's aunt.

The woman in her thirties gave birth to five children.

Not someone else.

It was more than ten years ago, at the Friendship Meeting between men and women in Miyun Mining Area, that pair of young women who met came to Hubei because of the construction project, she and the good friends who had only known each other for less than three months came to Hubei.

More than ten years have passed, and the original girl has become a young woman.

However, because of the birth of too many children, the work efficiency could not keep up, and it was not suitable for the original position, so I started the logistics work of the friendship meeting.

Now she doesn't have the shyness she had then, and she is full of ability and pungency.

"Don't be embarrassed, who do you fall in love with, take the initiative to talk to others, what are big men afraid of." The lady of the Li family pushed the half-pushed, thin-skinned male workers.

The male workers seemed to be powerless, pushed by the women, and walked towards the women opposite with their heads bowed.

Many traditional dances in the border areas or in the interior have gradually spread in the interior through the circulation of population and the dissemination of information efficiency, especially in the main factory area of the Daming Industrial Bureau, which has become a manifestation of people's communication.

Under the colorful lampshade, the kerosene street lamp shines brilliantly.

The square was lively.

Couples of young men and women talked in shy whispers.

Beside those beautiful women, there was no shortage of bold male workers, who left one and immediately caught up with a new one.

Here, the brightly lit exterior is already dark.

Most of them were asleep.

Distance.

In the farmhouses on the edge of the fields, people are tired after a day's work, and they rest early, there is no nightlife in the factory, and there is no leisure and entertainment for the military households in the northern Pianjing area, they have public housing to provide, and many military households will choose to go there to drink in the evening.

The place that was originally provided for military households to read newspapers has become a place for liquor shops, and even if the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces has repeatedly asked for rectification, it cannot stop the military households' habits.

Early the next morning.

The sun rises.

The farmers were out to work before dawn, and the machines in the factory area made a loud noise, like wild horses on the loose.

Yongle seven years.

After the autumn harvest, food prices continued to fall.

Countless farmers who have worked hard for a year, their income has not exceeded last year, but the price of goods in the market has risen.

The workers live in beautiful buildings, eat three meals a day, and have all kinds of activities, have many goods at home, wear beautiful clothes, and walk with their heads up.

The factory is on holiday, resulting in a lot of workers going to the city every day.

Those overalls, I-shaped uniforms, etc., are already strange things in the city, and they make ordinary people show envious eyes.

Not only did the workers' wages go up, but so did the soldiers' salaries.

Including military households.

Once again, the Agricultural Development Grain Stamp Bank bleeds, providing low-interest long-term loans to military households, repairing their houses, buying agricultural machinery, maintaining water conservancy facilities, and providing livestock in the southern and northern regions of Senan.

New schools have been built in the factory area.

The branch of Daye Iron Mine even piloted the first nursery.

The workers had too many children.

The excessively lenient maternity leave, as well as the subsidies still paid for maternity and breastfeeding leave, led women to be willing to have children, and it is not surprising that each worker has three or five children.

The factory clinic set up in the factory area is not only cheap to see a doctor, but also cheap to see a doctor.

Good food, abundant life, and clean facilities allow the workers to be physically healthy, and the children born are not lacking in nutrients, can resist the erosion of nature, and grow up.

"I wish His Majesty the Great Emperor victory in his westward expedition."

Huge banners were hung.

on Workers' Square.

Tens of thousands of workers gathered together and sang the song in praise of Daming with the singers on stage.

"The flag of the Great Tomorrow is fluttering in the wind."

"Ah~ah~"

"The greatest civilization in the world, how glorious."

"Let the people of the world yearn for it."

"Ah~ah~"

"The voice of victory is loud and bright."

"Praise the Ming."

"Ah~ah~"

"The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous and strong."

"Ah~ah~"

"Flatten the mountains and fill the depressions, the Ming people are the most diligent."

"Everyone is for me, I am for everyone, and the ideal society is proud."

Children sing along with the adults.

The woman holds the baby, and the baby smirks at the smile on her mother's face and her teethless gums.

The railways of the Ming Dynasty.

One army after another received orders to board the train as scheduled and headed for their destination.

Many veterans over the age of 40 have retired from the army, or have taken up military positions at the grassroots level and become the pillars of the army.

More recruits are coming into the camp.

They sat in the same carriages, like veterans who had left the army, looking at the unfamiliar scenery and sighing with a smile on their faces, but they were just a different person.

The traditional effort spent on mobilizing the army seems to be a joke in today's Ming Dynasty.

Especially in the hinterland.

The more developed the railway, the smaller the size of the army.

"For whom!"

"For the sake of Da Ming."

The soldiers sang military songs.

The military song was loud and loud, resounding all over the Ming Dynasty. (End of chapter)
