This can be said to be a great improvement. At least all the aristocratic families who know about the Yong family’s central heating are a little concerned about this. We are in the Little Ice Age these days, and everyone is quite cold, but central heating is not what we think. It’s easy, and the supplies required are astronomical.
The Yong family was able to complete central heating mainly because there were less than 60,000 people in the entire Xinshifang of the Yong family. In addition, when Yong Kai and Yong Mao were repairing the heaven and earth essence etching last year, they suffered a heavy snowstorm, which forced the Yong family to The heating problem had to be solved completely in one go.
After all, under the circumstances at the time, it was unrealistic to repair fireplaces or carry out large-scale house renovations, so the Yong family had no choice but to open up the boiler room and provide hot water to the surrounding people from the boiler room.
Although it is quite difficult to lay pipes and find insulation materials, it is better than carrying out house renovations in the middle of winter. Of course, the Yong family can accomplish this, more or less because the Yong family and its people are all in Xinshifang City. Only then could he barely manage to do this.
After barely doing this in the winter, the Yong family worked hard to complete the central heating in the spring of this year. Although the pipes were ugly, there was still no problem with the quality. Therefore, after the Yong family was buried in snow this year, It is already considered isolated from the world.
Of course, after getting used to the situation where there was no news from the Yong family from time to time, this time the Yuan family just sent a routine greeting and did not send anyone over.
It is said that the Yong family has had a bumper harvest this year. There is enough food in the basement to feed more than 60,000 people for four to five years, which is about 90,000 tons of food. Doesn’t this sound outrageous?
In fact, the land here is also black, and the Yong family and the people under their rule have reclaimed about 600,000 acres of land, that is, the land with a radius of ten kilometers with Xinshifang as the center. It is plain, otherwise it is also a trouble.
Therefore, one year's reserves are enough to last for four to five years, which is the same as Heilongjiang's 30 million population and 80 million tons of grain output in later generations. Although it is only one crop, the local grain output in one year is actually enough. It is the same reason that local people eat it for five or six years.
Even if we only count the agricultural population, Heilongjiang's annual grain output is enough to feed local farmers for nearly ten years. The per capita cultivated land in the Yongjia area is even more exaggerated than that of Heilongjiang in later generations. To talk about the gap, it should be That’s the reason for good seeds and fertilizers.
Therefore, if you grow it and eat it for four to five years a year, there is basically no problem. The only problem is probably preservation. Fortunately, there is also permafrost here. It is not very difficult to take the time to build a natural cold storage, but the quantity is huge. It's just a waste of time.
However, even after the rice was harvested, the Yong family also concentrated manpower and material resources to build a cold storage in the permafrost or in a natural cave. It also stocked a lot of cut European bison meat, as well as a large amount of plaice and fish. Cod fillets.
In short, the Yong family is pretending to be dead this year. After Yong Kai attended the imperial meeting last year, he has already filed a record with the internal history department. He will not send anyone to attend the imperial meeting until Yuanfeng ten years. It seems that there will be nothing in the future. If something big happens, the Yong family will return to normal.
Of course, don't even think about such a good thing. Perennis and Huangfu Song are going to fight in a certain area of Nordic mythology, and the place where the Yong family is currently squatting is the place closest to Northern Europe among all the powers in the world. Huangfu Song Even to save trouble, supplies will be carried out at the Yong family.
Of course, Yong Kai, Yong Mao and others don't know this at all now. They are currently lying in their warm big houses to rest. After they are tired from winter, they will go to the tunnel from their houses to the underground palace. Head to a place like an inground pool to relax.
By the way, when this family was digging the underground palace, they relied on their own tricks to find the underground river. After opening up the underground river and the surface river, they could even work as fishermen in the underground palace. Although since a certain huge... Marine life followed the surface river into the underground river and almost took Yong Kai away. Fishing became less safe.
But even so, when they have nothing to do in winter, there are still many people in Shifang City who organize groups to go fishing in underground rivers. Yes, the Yong family is laying underground pipelines and building large underground palaces this summer. The common people built underground tunnels that go straight into the underground palace. After all, doing nothing in winter is really boring, and Wodong also needs to be happy.
Because the situation of the Yong family is very close to that of the Yuan family, many of the Yong family's systems can be used as a reference for the Yuan family. For example, the Yuan family has also built a lot of basements, as well as cold storage in the permafrost layer, and also There are many large underground palaces and so on.
But the Yuan family cannot fully learn from the Yong family's experience. The Yong family's situation is the same as that of the five Nordic countries in later generations. Their smaller population and abundant resources allow them to implement high welfare programs, but the Yuan family is different. Our family started as a big country.
Therefore, regarding central heating, although the Yuan family's advisers concluded that central heating must be implemented in the future after comprehensive consideration, further negotiations are still needed as to when central heating will be implemented.
However, after Gao Rou listened to Xinpi's plan for a cast iron furnace that would require 10,000 tons after including population expansion and maintenance, she just slapped the table on the table and found that it would require tens of thousands of tons. It would be better to add some more and achieve central heating in one step. .
As soon as these words came out, Xinpi and Gao Rou quarreled on the spot. One said that the other did not consider reality, and the other said that you have eaten so much in a year, and you have been eating for five years in a row. Are you realistic?
"Well, why don't we ignore them for now. There are some gaps in my permanent defense facilities and some iron parts. I also need some iron tools, axes, saws and the like." Seeing Gao Rou and Xinpi making a noise Getting up, Yan Pu, who was pretending to be dead, quickly said, there is a gap here too. In fact, no one has enough steel these days.
The Han Dynasty's 13,000-ton steel gap last year was not resolved until the end.
In fact, this only accounts for policy demands, and does not account for conventional private demand. If the demand for conventional materials such as nails, hammers, axes, tin buckets, and wires is released, the real demand for steel will suddenly increase explosively.
After all, these seemingly small bits and pieces are really the big deal. After all, many reinforcements require simple and easy-to-understand things like wires, hammers, and nails.
Each of these items does not seem to be much, but if they are used freely, the demand is too great. Therefore, although Chen Xi’s annual steel production is large, it is really not enough. If he really wants to use it enough, I am afraid it will have to exceed 10,000 tons. Just add another thousand.
However, Eastern Europe is different from the mainland. The demand for axes and saws is very huge. Even if there is anthracite, wood is an indispensable fuel for boilers. In fact, even in the 21st century, real fire fireplaces , in fact, I still prefer to use wood.
Although in the 21st century, the wood used is more wood particles than large pieces of wood, but overall, the essence has not changed.
Therefore, a large number of axes and saws are needed here. Of course, after Yan Pu's comprehensive consideration, saws are better. The ax needs at least three kilograms of upward steel. If it is replaced by a large axe, the weight will become even more terrifying, so it is better. Saws are better, and the kind of saw that uses a saw blade is very suitable. Less material is used, which means success!
But even so, a small number of axes, coupled with a large number of saw blades, also require a considerable amount of steel. These are all gaps. Of course, the advantage of axes is that if they are issued with large axes, they will not need to prepare weapons when the opponent joins the army. .
After all, a big ax requires a lot of steel, but generally speaking, those who can use a big ax as a weapon to fight on the battlefield are Slavic men. This kind of thing requires a lot of strength.
"How many tons do you need for this?" Yuan Tan looked at Xin Pi and Gao Rou who were already arguing, and sighed, but he didn't care too much. Let alone a small court like Yuan Tan these days, even if they scolded each other in court, These are normal things. It is normal to have political disagreements, as long as you can do your job.
"I have less. I only need 400 tons. We will need a lot of logging next year to make boards." Yan Pu said with a somewhat depressed expression.
Yuan Tan was silent when he heard this. Solid wood panels have a wide range of applications and are an indispensable component of production and construction these days. There are also some road and bridge constructions, and the demand for boards is also very huge.
"Actually, do we still need some steel plates?" Yuan Tan sighed and said.
"Let's use better quality wooden boards to support them first. When we get rich later, we can replace them with steel plates. The current river bridges, except for the main roads that need to be paved with steel, the rest can be made of century-old giant wood." Yan Pu rejected Yuan Tan's proposal because there were not so many steel disasters at all. Again, steel production these days is insufficient anyway.
"There are two thousand tons more steel, but why does it feel like it's still not enough?" Yuan Tan sighed and stopped Gao Rou and Xinpi from fighting.
You must know that Gao Rou and Xin Pi's relationship got better some time ago, and Gao Rou even tried to be Xin Pi's son-in-law. However, at this time, the two were not polite at all when they started fighting.
"Consider Youruo and Shufan's plans first. As for George, I will give you half of the remaining steel. The iron stove is still needed." Yuan Tan cut through the mess quickly and made up his mind quickly.
These things are prioritized, and it is actually difficult to distinguish them, but Yuan Tan has a clear mind. If he just needs food, clothing, shelter and transportation, he should eat and clothe himself first, and then consider other things.
Therefore, let Xun Chen solve problems such as pots, pans, kitchen knives, etc., then let Yan Pu solve problems such as house construction and plate demand, and then talk about cast iron stoves and other issues.
Although the last problem also involves food and housing, if the first two are solved, you won't die in a short time. It will be uncomfortable to live in, but it will probably not kill you. If you can't burn a brazier at home, you will be easily poisoned by carbon monoxide at most.
Speaking of carbon monoxide poisoning, compared to the explanation given by Chen Xi, after listening to Chen Xi's explanation, Cookie gave a new explanation that was more understandable to the people - the so-called coal is buried deep underground for millions of dollars. If you don't burn the plants properly, it wouldn't be a surprise if the resentment of those things comes to you and kills you.
This explanation is so accurate that it even shocked Chen Xi for hundreds of years. However, this explanation is easily understood by the people, and it also brings about the following. Remember to ventilate when burning coal. Isn't it normal to strangle you to death indoors?
Therefore, when burning coal, you must remember to ventilate it. This way, even if the coal is not completely burned, the resentment will leave the room and the resentment will not kill you.
This statement is widely circulated, and the idea is clear, well-founded, and has real phenomena, so that it cannot be regarded as feudal superstition. However, thanks to this thing, the number of unlucky children who are poisoned by carbon monoxide when burning coal every year has plummeted to Close to zero.
However, because of this thing, there are fewer people who use coal to burn braziers indoors directly.
"Lord, why don't you ask Madam to try to fix another one? Doesn't this become one? And there is a Qifang one in front. One may be deceived, but it is impossible for two to be the same. Madam is still reliable. ." Han Heng, who came to listen and rarely spoke, slowly spoke after Yuan Tan made the decision.
The eyes of everyone present lit up. Their opponents could only say that they were cutting back on spending money. The only real way to solve the problem was to let Stina repair two more. Their kind of cutting back on expenditures made it difficult to solve the problem. On the contrary, Stina If Na adds a few more steel furnaces, at least their current problems will be solved.
"I will supervise this, but don't have too much hope." Yuan Tan looked at the hopeful eyes of everyone under his command, shook his head and said, he still had some idea of Stina's situation.
If he could really cultivate stably, he should have done it a long time ago. How could it be delayed until now? This guy definitely belongs to the type that works sometimes and sometimes fails. It is worthy of cheering if he can succeed, but it is normal if he cannot succeed. the scope of play.
"Madam, you have two successful experiences, but I still haven't been able to succeed once." Han Heng said helplessly. After Xu You left, he mainly managed various industries under the Yuan family and assumed part of Xun Chen's responsibility. Assigned people's livelihood work, plus research on steel furnaces.
However, here’s the problem. From the time he took on this task until now, Han Heng has not been able to repair a single steel furnace. Even though he has a lot of work to do, the engineering team he formed has still not succeeded in building one. , which makes people very helpless.
"I will let her try and lead your engineering team to try together, but don't have high hopes. I suspect she doesn't know why she succeeded." Yuan Tan thought about Stina happily. The bouncing image makes me feel that this matter is simply a metaphysics.
