"I have to talk to Xiao Bailang about this. He is in charge of this now. However, the matter of the ceramic kiln does not belong to the Ministry of Light Industry. It has to be placed by the Industrial Energy Commission."
"This matter has been approved by the Executive Committee, and the Planning Committee has issued production tasks." Zhang Xin said, "Someone needs to help coordinate this matter - the Ministry of Light Industry has become the most profitable thing for you, so you can be the agent.
"
"Okay, you can give me a 50% discount when I come to Ziminglou to make purchases from now on."
"No problem. But we won't issue an invoice." Zhang Xin said, "Find me a few other people who are engaged in construction and interior decoration, and come up with a complete design and renovation plan for Ziming Building."
"This should be easy." Mo Xiao'an said, "To be honest, I'm very curious, what do you plan to make Ziming Tower look like? It won't be a row of Roman columns outside and a few little angels on the roof."
"That's right: even the bathhouses in our hometown don't use this style anymore."
In addition to sanitary ware, there are also things that are not so surprising to Mo Xiaoan: such as transparent soap, shampoo, nail polish, lipstick and other cleansing products. Mo Xiaoan knows that these things are actually not technically difficult and have a lot of technical difficulties.
Simple basic chemical products can be produced. The most technologically advanced modern detergent products are synthetic fragrances, but in this time and space, purely natural products can be used.
"A complete set of glass wine sets and tea sets are easy." Mo Xiao'an said after looking at it, "Crystal chandelier?! This is difficult, let's try it. Kvass in glass bottles - OK, but you have to be responsible for returning the bottle
It’s too much trouble to make glass bottles now – why not use barrels? They are easy to transport and don’t leak air.”
"Isn't this just to increase the value?" Zhang Xin smiled, the glass bottles always look better than the ones in barrels.
"It's really yours." Mo Xiao'an continued to flip through the pages, "Sexy underwear?! Sexy dance clothes?!" He was surprised, "Striptease!"
"Who said it's a striptease? It's not stripping! It's the feeling of being half exposed and half covered, holding a pipa and half covering your face." Zhang Xin said, "We are going to launch a new concept of ancient dance in Ziminglou. Drink.
Drinking a glass of wine and looking at the beauties..."
"Stop it - what is a new concept of ancient dance? Is it wrapped in a few pieces of tulle, exposing the thighs, and half of the buttocks to be a completely new concept?"
"Well, well, that's about it."
"Isn't that still a showy dance? It's vulgar, it's really vulgar!" Mo Xiao'an criticized with drooling eyes, "But it's creative."
"The Ministry of Light Industry has a clothing factory, so you should worry more about this matter. From now on, when you come to Ziming Building, the private room with the best location will be yours."
The Ministry of Light Industry has a quilt factory. Originally, Wu De used the female labor force of Bairen Commune to specialize in making quilts for workers and soldiers. Later, when the Ministry of Light Industry was established, the entire factory was transferred. There are several sewing machines brought from the 21st century in the factory.
, special equipment such as hemming machines, and the machinery factory has produced dozens of various sewing and knitting equipment locally. The production scale is not small, but they are just cutting and sewing according to paper shapes, and nothing complicated and beautiful has been done.
clothing.
"It's easy to say the style. There are a lot of reference materials, and it's easy to make patterns and make paper models." Mo Xiao'an hesitated, "I just can't figure out the materials."
The proposal to produce sexy underwear was submitted to the internal bbs very early on, but was rejected at that time because it was "shocking the world and affecting reputation" and "cannot guarantee monopoly copyright". In fact, sexy underwear looks like a few pieces of cloth and a few pieces of gauze.
A few straps, but the technical content of the fabric is not low. In particular, many materials require a certain degree of elasticity, which would never be possible in the era without synthetic fibers. The simplest pair of nylon stockings is made of cotton knitwear.
There's no way to imitate its effect.
"There are so many types of silk in China, you can always find something similar. There are also cotton and linen. Don't we have knitting machines?"
"I don't know how to do it. I need to find a professional to check it out."
"Cigarettes are also easy. But air conditioners, ice machines... these are too nonsense. How can you want Guangzhou to have things that Lingao doesn't have?"
"The air conditioner can be used. I came back this time and consulted the Works and Energy Commission. They have already manufactured a set for the pharmaceutical factory. The ice machine said they need to study it."
"If the machinery factory says it can do it, it probably can." Mo Xiao'an looked over the list, "If it's all ready, it will take at least half a year."
"No problem, the sanitary ware must be completed on time and will be installed."
Zhang Xin was originally worried that the Planning Commission would not support them - since Delong Bank entered Guangzhou and took away the financial rights of Guangzhou Station, Guo Yi once had the idea of resigning and returning to Lingao. He was a powerful and wealthy person in Guangzhou.
, coupled with his background problems and not being a successful person, it would be better to resign as soon as possible to avoid suspicion. However, Zhang Xin urged not to do so: now that Delong has just entered the station, if he resigns immediately, not only will it not be considered as avoiding suspicion, but it will be considered as being against him.
Demonstrations of organizational dissatisfaction.
When Guo Yi thought that this was right, he gave up the idea. Fortunately, Meng Xian had stayed in America for a long time and was tainted with the atmosphere of Miyi. He was quite straightforward and meticulous in his work.
Over the course of a few months, they complemented each other quite well.
The plan for the Ziming Building has actually been completed for the Guangzhou Station for several months. Pepi has repeatedly asked for it to be renovated to satisfy her desire to perform. Everyone has been hesitant. Finally, Zhang Xin decided to go to Lingao in person -
-Originally, he also wanted to report to a person from the Intelligence Committee - present this plan face to face. Then meet with the people's commissars and heads of various departments to see how they react.
After returning to Lingao, the Intelligence Committee was very supportive of the idea of Ziming Tower, and the Planning Committee did not waste much time. After asking a few questions, Ma Qianzhu readily agreed to the plan. Then it was implemented.
The committee passed it without any discussion at the regular meeting.
The project of Ziming Building is very large. It is a large-scale capital construction investment project, so the Planning Commission has set up a project coordination group to coordinate this matter, with Mo Xiao'an as the group leader. There are many cooperating departments and personnel involved, and there are many
The Planning Commission came forward and it was impossible to achieve it with Guangzhou Station alone.
A telegram from the Planning Commission called back Zhang Xingpei, who was expanding his house in Changhua Fort. He was building a new immigrant village here in Changhua Fort. The Executive Committee adopted Jiang Qiuyan's proposal: prepare to build a new settlement in Changhua Fort and Yulin Fort.
Immigrants. In order to ensure that immigrants can settle down as soon as they arrive at the location and avoid emotional fluctuations, the construction company began to build fortress-shaped B-type buildings designed by Wen Desi in the two places. Each such building can accommodate 38 families.
It is enough for self-protection and simple production activities. If there are more immigrants in the future, just increase them in sequence.
After reading the plan, Zhang Xingpei said that he had to go to Guangzhou to see the specific situation before he could decide how the entire Ziming Building should be renovated.
"Also, what style are Ziminglou planning to adopt?"
"In terms of appearance, it can't be too abrupt, it can't be Romanesque or other European styles - it's too ostentatious. Let's stick to the traditional Chinese style."
"Okay." Zhang Xingpei then took the measuring and drawing equipment and set off for Guangzhou.
"Inform the Nanbao Mining Department," Ma Qianzhu called the person, "prepare to mine kaolin in Nanbao immediately!"
The so-called Nanbao Mining Office is a base set up by Chuanchuan Group with the main purpose of mining in Nanbao in order to facilitate the mining of Nanbao's various mineral resources. This is also the first time that they have stayed away from the Wenlan River Basin and worked in a relatively remote area.
Establish a base in the area.
After Nanbao's lignite was first expropriated, the Planning Commission found that the demand for lignite was actually huge. Local gypsum and kaolin were also important resources urgently needed by Chuanchuan Group and must be developed as soon as possible.
If we only rely on local human resources to carry out expropriation activities, considering the backward mining level of the local people, it will be time-consuming and laborious. Indiscriminate digging and mining will also destroy local resources. Repeated labor expropriation will also cause public resentment. Executive Committee
After a short discussion, the meeting decided that a professional mining village should be established locally to lead the mining, and the local labor force could be supplemented as laborers.
Nanbao Mining Office was a miner's village established under this guiding ideology. The exploration team went to Nanbao and quickly selected the village site - which is roughly where the headquarters of Nanbao Coal Mine will be later. Mei Lin from the Construction Company was there.
On the new village site, he directed workers to build the first B-type residential building designed by Mr. Wen. A bamboo pipe was laid to divert water from the spring on the mountain. The first batch of 38 miners were to be moved in. Their task was to mine lignite locally.
, gypsum and kaolin, and then transport them back through the Nanbao-Bairen Highway. Eventually, about 400 immigrants will be resettled in Nanbao, forming a professional mining town here. In fact, this can also be regarded as a large-scale
A preview of developing Tian Du.
Resettling immigrants in Lingao was easier than expected. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas and a lot of open space. Xiong Buyou took the land acquisition team and some officials from the county government to Nanbao and occupied a large area of land there.
——These are places where minerals have been confirmed by remote exploration teams. For insurance purposes, large tracts of nearby land have been purchased to avoid any land disputes during future expansion.
Crossing the crowd to Nan Baolai to measure and build a stockade caused panic in the local villagers, especially the landowners who owned paddy fields with good mountain spring irrigation. They were all unhappy and quickly begged local liaisons to inquire about the land measurement.
What are they doing? Are they planning to take over their land? People in every village suddenly became panicked.
Later, when they saw that the areas they were exploring were sloping valleys, places lacking water and full of rocks, everyone felt relieved. Those with quick thinking had already guessed that the Australians were coming here to dig coal.
Workers began to build warehouses to store ore beside the road, and laid tracks between the warehouses and the mining areas. These tracks were wooden tracks covered with iron sheets. If they were made of wrought iron, there was no guarantee that they would not be used by local people.
It was stolen. The coal truck on the track has an iron frame and wooden wall structure, and can carry 1.5 tons of ore per train. It is planned to be pulled by oxen.
The mining workers arrived immediately. They were wearing homespun work clothes and rattan helmets, walking on the road. Next to them was a four-wheeled ox cart that the locals thought was too huge.
Mining tools, various daily necessities, food and their families. Most of the miners come from coal mines in Guangdong and Jiangxi. Not many have wives and children. Many of them are from the extremely poor class and are completely single.
The development of the Nanbao Mining Department was led by Ye Yuming himself - after arriving in Nanbao, he immediately asked people to post job notices in nearby villages to recruit local villagers who were willing to work as miners. According to Ye Yuming's experience in modern time and space
, there are few mines that do not have contradictions and conflicts with local people, and absorbing part of the local labor force can help alleviate such conflicts.
Ye Yuming learned from the exploration data that a considerable part of Nanbao's lignite can be mined in the open pit, and the burial depth is relatively small. The limit stripping coefficient of open-pit mining is 2 at most, and in some places there are even direct outcrops of veins, which is very suitable for open-pit mining.
Mining. So local villagers can mine ore directly with hoes and shovels.
He inspected several mining sites marked by the exploration team. Although the lignite here was not exposed on the surface, the depth of the topsoil was less than one meter. The ore body was regular and easy to mine. As long as the surface soil layer was peeled off, the mining section could be pulled up.
Large-scale open-pit mining.
The fastest and most labor-saving way to strip away topsoil is blasting. Ye Yuming reported to the Planning Commission and asked for the allocation of gunpowder, fuses and engineers. He would also do some blasting himself, but he had not done much actual operation.
To be cautious, I still hope to call in Panda, a professional.
On this day, the villagers saw several more oxcarts coming on the road. Each oxcart was far away from each other. The oxcart was tightly covered with a shed, and there was a big red sign hanging on it. The person who recognized the calligraphy
It was said that it said: "Fireworks are strictly prohibited." There were red cloths wrapped around the horns of the cattle, and there were soldiers carrying hammers and drills next to each vehicle. For a while, people had different opinions and didn't know what they had brought.
At dinner time, someone got the news that the cargo was gunpowder. Then the liaison officers from each village were called to the "mine" for a meeting. They came back to convey the message: The Australians will soon open a mine in Nanbao.
, we are going to use gunpowder to blow up the mountain, and we ask everyone not to enter the marked lime line casually, otherwise they will be killed or injured.
Everyone thought it was strange. Normally, when digging coal, everyone just needs a hoe and a basket on their back. Why would we need gunpowder? Besides, when the gunpowder explodes, wouldn't it blow up all the coal?
Panda brought an engineering squad, five tons of black powder and several hundred meters of fuse. He and Ye Yuming inspected the mining section that was about to be blasted.
"If you want to be safer, just fire small cannons section by section and clear the surface soil and rocks section by section." Panda said.
"This takes too long, and we have to clean it section by section after each blast." Ye Yuming wanted to do a big blast with a big roof, and the topsoil of the mining section was peeled off with two or three shots, and then cleaned up while doing it.
Mining at the same time. This can shorten the construction period by at least one third.
"It's a bit dangerous." Panda hesitated, "This is a relatively large explosion."
"Give it a try. The worst thing you can do is pull the fuse farther."
The two of them looked through the information together, looked at the terrain map, and saw how the blast holes should be drilled. Engineering blasting is very technical, and these two are the only professionals in the entire crossing group. Ye Yuming used to be a professional in the safety supervision department.
Anyone who manages a mine knows a thing or two about mine blasting.
A few days later, a loud noise came from the distant mining area, followed by several explosions in succession. Several nearby villages felt obvious shaking under their feet. When they came out to take a look, black smoke shot straight into the sky. Good thing.
The young man sneaked to the mining surface and took a look. A large piece of the ground here had been removed, revealing a large pit that was not deep. A hill had simply been cut in half.
The explosion was so loud that people from the nearby Qianhu Station came to inquire about the situation. After hearing that the shooter was an Australian, Qianhu left without saying a word. The liaison officer noticed that the young officer's face turned pale.
.
After blasting, several open-pit mining areas in Nanbao were exposed. Ye Yuming directed miners and infrastructure workers to clean up the ground and build mining working surfaces for workers to mine.
At first, workers used the manual mining method of shovels and shovels. The excavated coal was placed in large rattan baskets and carried manually to the rail station on the mining surface. Not only was the speed slow, but it also had to go up a slope, which was dangerous and physically demanding.
Ye Yuming hardened cement concrete on a section of the mining slope, and then laid iron-covered wooden rails. An animal-drawn winch station was set up on it. This way, coal can be loaded onto small mine carts directly from the mining working surface.
Pull it up along the track. The work efficiency is greatly improved.
The remuneration of miners is very generous - this is also due to the nature of their work. Miners are very physically demanding workers. Without enough protein, they must provide excessive amounts of carbohydrates to ensure calories.
There are two types of miners in Nanbao Mining Office. One is the immigrant workers, who are paid according to the standard of 180 yuan per month in circulation coupons. This salary is much higher than the standard salary of 118 yuan for industrial workers in Bairencheng.
Level. Of course, to get this salary, you must complete the quota. After simple calculations, Ye Yuming stipulated that each working group should be composed of 4 people: 2 excavators and 2 cart workers. Each group has one shift.
The minimum quota is 8 tons of coal or ore. For the excess amount, a bonus of 0.5 yuan will be given for every 200 kilograms of excess amount.
The other type is local piece-rate labor. Because local farmers have to farm, most of them are unwilling to work in the mines. Ye Yuming implemented the piece-rate temporary labor system. This is the work point system of modern small coal kilns. According to the work points transported to the coal stack
The number of coal trucks is distributed according to the number of workers, and 0.5 yuan is paid for every 200 kilograms of ore transported per day. A piece-rate laborer can mine about 1 to 2 tons of coal per day, and can get a circulation coupon of 5 to 10 yuan. If
If you work continuously for a month, you can earn at least 150 yuan. This income is very attractive to workers in the cross-group system.
