Chapter 365: Transferring Polluting Industries to Wei
Chapter 365 Transferring polluting industries to Wei
A group of core talents in steel manufacturing were sent, a group of experts in glass manufacturing were also sent, and a group of young people selected by Zhao Feng were also sent. They were responsible for refining, sealing and other matters.
.
Xun Yu's responsibilities were to continue to maintain business relationships with Guishang, supervise the progress of various crafts, and dispatch the army to prevent others from taking advantage of him.
Since Xun Yu had full power to dispatch ministers and talents, even Zhou Yu was transferred here.
"Wen Ruo, why did you call me here? I'm working hard on building a ship over here!"
Zhou Yu was very unhappy. He was originally from Yangzhou.
Building ships there, the climate is adapted to it, and the food is delicious. It’s so comfortable!
When I came here, the new city had not yet been built, and the conditions were very difficult. It was a foreign country, and there was no easy way to eat. It was very uncomfortable.
Xun Yu was also helpless: "Look at my place, which is so close to the sea. How can I return to the Wei Dynasty without building ships? Every time I cross Congling, it is too difficult, and it is even harder to walk through the Gobi! You can build a few docks and then
We will build a shipyard together with Yangzhou, so it will be easier to travel between the two places in the future! Taking the water route should be much faster than taking the land route."
When talking about this issue, Zhou Yu became obviously happy.
"What about this? You must have found the right person! Now that our ship has been transformed by His Majesty, we no longer need people to row it!"
Xun Yu was stunned: "If you don't row a boat, you will just rely on the waves to float? You can go down the river, but what should you do if you go upstream?"
Zhou Yu smiled proudly: "I came here on a new ship this time. Do you want to try it?"
Xun Yu was immediately delighted: "That's naturally the best!"
So the two of them went outside. When Xun Yu saw the huge size of the ship, he immediately became even more happy: "If such a big ship is converted into a cargo ship, it can carry a lot of supplies! Wouldn't it be much faster for us to transport supplies between the two places in the future?"
Zhou Yu nodded: "Of course it will be much faster, but Wen Ruo, the cargo ship has been designed. Cargo ships, battleships, and ships are all being built. Don't worry! I will take you to try the speed of this ship."
After getting on the boat, Zhou Yu took Xun Yu into the coal-burning room.
After the coal is burned, the water inside boils.
Immediately, Xun Yu felt that the boat started to move. Xun Yu went out and took a look, and sure enough, no one was rowing the boat.
"Oh my god! Is there someone pushing under the water?" Xun Yu looked surprised.
Zhou Yu held his forehead and smiled: "Are you kidding me? It's better to row a boat than to push down! But it's no wonder, you have no idea how exquisite your majesty's things are!"
As if he was offering a treasure, he took out a pen and paper and simply drew the principle of the steam engine, and then explained it to Xun Yu in detail.
Xun Yu looked suspicious at first, but finally looked horrified after hearing this!
"So, just some water vapor can have such wonderful effects and produce such great power?"
Zhou Yu nodded: "Yes, the bigger the cylinder is, the better the air tightness will be, and the greater the thrust will be, just like hundreds of strong men rowing a boat. The key is that the force is still unified, unlike rowing a boat.
, the strength exerted by everyone cannot be synchronized, not only cannot strengthen the strength, but will even cancel each other out!"
As the two of them talked, the speed of the boat increased.
Xun Yu looked around again and found that the boat was going upstream, but it was still very fast. It was not at all the speed of people paddling that he had seen before!
Xun Yu was so happy that he almost wanted to jump.
He chose to go offshore because the oil was closer here. He had not been back to North Korea recently and didn't know the situation of the ships there.
Now Zhou Yu actually built such a large ship. The fast ship was extremely crucial to the formation of the Protectorate.
With such a ship, from now on, officials can return to Xudu in one month without having to wait for half a year!
Dawei's high-end products can also be transported to the Duhufu by sea and land, using the Duhufu as a transfer station, and then sold to various places in Guishang, or as far away as Rome!
And the raw materials from Rome or Kushan can also be transported from here to the Wei Dynasty on a large scale!
It can be predicted that in the next few years, the Protectorate will truly form a trade distribution center and become the most dazzling place between the Eastern and Western continents!
Moreover, the speed of this formation will become faster and faster as the various forces understand this place.
In the future, this new city will be as prosperous as Xudu.
"I can actually build such a prosperous city for Your Majesty! It is simply unimaginable, but it is really exciting!"
Xun Yu couldn't help but feel excited.
When Zhou Yu heard what he said, he immediately showed an envious look: "Compared with your new city, my ship-building supervisor is much smaller! From now on, the reputation of this city will be spread in countless places, and your pioneering work will be spread
The name of the author, but no one will remember me, Zhou Yu."
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Gongjin, no matter how majestic a city is, it will eventually decline! Do you know who built the capitals of the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty?"
Zhou Yu was also stunned, and then showed a hint of relief.
Xun Yu added: "Shipbuilding, on the other hand, is something that can be passed down. Such a fast ship will be remembered by future generations. Your name, just like Lu Ban, has been revered from generation to generation and will still be mentioned after thousands of years."
So, don’t have any other ideas.”
Zhou Yu nodded and became energetic again: "In that case, I will stay! From now on, leave all the port affairs outside this new city to me! I will definitely build the largest port and build a few more docks so that
The whole new city will rise as soon as possible!"
The place where Xunyu New City was built used to have many villages, and many villages cultivated the surrounding area.
His arrival directly left many people with no land to farm, and according to his plan, more people will have no land to farm in the future!
How to properly resettle these people has become a big problem.
Not to mention this is a foreign land, even in the Wei Dynasty, if the local people cannot be properly resettled, they will still suffer from a bad reputation.
Once your reputation is ruined, all kinds of unexpected problems will follow one after another. Overt confrontations and covert assassinations are difficult to prevent.
Especially since this was the focus of Zhao Feng's plan, Xun Yu knew that these people must be resettled.
In fact, Xun Yu was very confident about this matter. The first settlement of a hundred-person village taught Xun Yu a lesson.
A family here was the first to be contacted by Xun Yu's scholars.
With smooth language communication, their communication soon came to the core issue.
Of course, the local people were unwilling to sell the land on which they relied for survival, so the scribe, acting like a nouveau riche, stuffed money into the land.
As a result, this unscrupulous man saw an opportunity and immediately raised the price. For a mere acre of land, he actually asked for hundreds of gold!
According to Xun Yu's plan, hundreds of thousands of acres of land and millions of acres of land will be occupied in the future. By then, won't he have to pay millions or tens of millions of dollars in compensation?
Therefore, Xun Yu immediately stopped this pattern, and recently planned to change his approach to doing things, so Xun Yu called officials from several surrounding counties.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
The Kushan people are still afraid of the officials of the Wei Dynasty, especially those in the south. They still have fresh memories of Zhuge Liang's fierce fighting prowess.
