I have to find Xiao Bailang for this. He's in charge of this now. However, the matter of ceramic kilns does not belong to the Ministry of Light Industry, but has to be placed by the Industrial Energy Commission. "
"This matter has been approved by the Executive Committee, and the Planning Committee issued the production tasks." Zhang Xin said, "Someone needs to help coordinate this matter - the Ministry of Light Industry will benefit the most from this matter, so you can be the agent. "
"Okay, you can give me a 50% discount when I come to Ziminglou to make purchases."
"No problem. But no invoice will be issued." 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, washing water, nail polish, lipstick and other cleansing products. Mo Xiaoan knew that these things were actually not technically difficult and could be made with very simple basic chemical products. The most technologically advanced modern detergent products are synthetic fragrances, but in this world, 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, try it. Kvass in glass bottles - yes, but you have to be responsible for returning the bottle Things to do. Making glass bottles is too time-consuming right now—why not use barrels? They are easy to transport and don’t leak air.”
"Isn't this just to increase your worth?" Zhang Xin smiled. Glass bottles always look better than barrels.
"It's really yours." Mo Xiao'an continued to flip through, "Sexy underwear?! Sexy dance clothes?!" He was surprised, "Drag dance!"
"Who said it's a drag dance? No drag! It's the feeling of being half-covered and half-covered, like holding a pipa and half-covering your face." Zhang Xin said, "We are going to launch a new concept of ancient dance in Ziminglou. Drinking a little wine and looking at the beautiful women..."
"Stop it - what is a brand-new concept of ancient dance? Is it wrapped in a few pieces of tulle, with only one thigh and half of the butt naked? Is it a brand-new concept?"
"Yeah, well, that's about it."
"Isn't that just a show-dancing thing? It's vulgar. It's really vulgar!" Mo Xiao'an criticized with saliva, "But it's creative."
"The Ministry of Light Industry has a clothing factory, so you should worry more about this matter. When you come to Ziming Building from now on, the private room with the best location will be yours."
The Ministry of Light Industry has a quilt factory. It was originally used by Wu De to use the female labor force of Bairen Commune to make quilts for workers and soldiers. Later, when the Ministry of Light Industry was established, the entire factory was transferred. The factory has several special equipment such as sewing machines and hemming machines brought from the 21st century. The machinery factory has also 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 they have not made any complicated and beautiful clothes.
"It's easy to say about 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 get the materials."
The proposal to produce sexy underwear was submitted to the internal BB very early, but was rejected at that time because it was "shocking the world and affecting reputation" and "unable to guarantee monopoly copyright". In fact, sexy underwear looks like a few pieces of cloth, a few pieces of gauze, and 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 have been possible in the era without synthetic fibers. The simplest pair of nylon stockings. Its effect cannot be imitated with cotton knitwear alone.
"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 take a look."
"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 to consult the Works and Energy Commission. They have already manufactured one 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 considered a successful person, it would be better to abdicate as soon as possible to avoid any suspicion. But Zhang Xin urged not to do so: Delong had just moved in, and if he resigned immediately, not only would it not be considered to avoid suspicion, but it would be considered a demonstration of dissatisfaction with the organization.
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 custom of Miyi. He is quite straightforward and meticulous in his work, and after a few months, they complement each other.
The plan for the Ziming Building has actually been completed for the Guangzhou Station for several months. Pepi has repeatedly requested to renovate it to satisfy her desire to perform. Everyone has been hesitant. Finally, Zhang Xin decided to go to Lingao in person - ―Originally, he had to report to a person on the Intelligence Committee―to 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 Ziminglou's idea, and the Planning Committee didn't waste much time talking. Ma Qianzhu readily agreed to the plan after asking a few questions. The executive committee then 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. Without the involvement of the Planning Commission, it would be impossible for the Guangzhou Station alone to be completed.
A telegram from the Planning Commission summoned Zhang Xingpei, who was expanding his house in Changhua Fort, back. He is building a new immigrant village here in Changhua Fort. The Executive Committee adopted Jiang Qiuyan's proposal: prepare to immigrate immigrants in Changhua Fort and Yulin Fort. In order to ensure that the immigrants could settle down as soon as they arrived at the location and avoid emotional fluctuations, the construction company began to build fortress-shaped B-type buildings designed by Wen Desi in both places. Each such building can accommodate 38 households, which is enough for self-protection and simple production activities. If you want to increase immigration in the future, just increase it one by one.
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 is 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 established by Chuanchuan Group for the main purpose of mining Nanbao's various mineral resources. This is also the first time that they have stayed away from the Wenlan River Basin in a relatively remote area. Establish a base in the area.
Since the first expropriation of lignite in Nanbao. Planning Commission found that the demand for lignite was actually huge. Local gypsum and kaolin are also important resources urgently needed by the Chuanchuan Group and must be developed as soon as possible.
If we only conduct expropriation activities based on local human resources, considering the backward mining level of the local people, it will not be a waste of time and effort, and random digging and mining will also destroy local resources. Repeated labor levies will also cause public dissatisfaction. After a short discussion, the executive committee believed 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 is a miner's village established under such guiding ideology. The exploration team went to Nanbao and quickly selected the village site-this place was roughly where the headquarters of Nanbao Coal Mine would be later built. Mei Lin from the Construction Corporation directed workers to build the first B-type residential building designed by Mr. Wen on the new village site. Moso bamboo pipes were laid to bring water from springs in the mountains. The first batch is ready to move into 38 miners. Their mission is to mine lignite, gypsum and kaolin locally. Then transport it back via Nanbao-Bairen Highway. Eventually, about 400 households will be resettled in Nanbao, forming a professional mining town here. In fact, this can also be regarded as a preview of large-scale open field independence.
Resettling immigrants in Lingao is easier than expected. The area is sparsely populated and has a lot of open space. Xiong Buyou came to Nanbao with the land acquisition team and several officials recruited from the county government. We have occupied a large area of land in the local area - all areas that have been confirmed to contain minerals by remote exploration teams. For the sake of insurance, we have also purchased large areas of nearby land to avoid any land disputes during future expansion.
Crossing crowds to Nanbaolai to measure and build a stockade caused panic in the local villagers, especially the landowners who owned paddy fields with better mountain spring irrigation. They were all unhappy and quickly begged local liaisons to inquire about the land survey. What is it for? Are you planning to take over their land? People in every village suddenly panicked.
Later, when they saw that the areas they were exploring were sloping valleys, places with a lack of water and lots 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 next to the road, and laid tracks between the warehouses and the mining areas - these tracks were wooden tracks covered with iron sheets. If the track is made of wrought iron, there is no guarantee that it will not be stolen by locals. The coal car on the track adopts an iron frame and wooden wall structure. Each train can carry 1.5 tons of ore. The plan was to use oxen for traction.
Mining workers arrived soon after, wearing homespun overalls and rattan helmets, walking down the road, flanked by four-wheeled oxcarts that were too huge for the locals and covered with matting sheds. It contained mining tools, various daily necessities, food and their families given by the Crossing Group. Most of the miners come from coal mines in Guangdong and Jiangxi. Not many of them have wives and children. Many of them are from the extremely poor class and are completely single.
The manager of Nanbao Mining Office, Ye Yuming, personally led the team - after arriving in Nanbao, he immediately asked people to post job notices in nearby villages. Recruit local villagers who are willing to work as miners. According to Ye Yuming's experience in modern time and space, there are few mines that do not conflict with local life. 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 one day, and the burial depth is relatively small. The maximum stripping coefficient for 1u-day mining is 2. In some places, there are even 1u heads of ore veins directly, which is very suitable for 1u-day mining. Therefore, local villagers can mine ore directly with hoes and shovels.
He inspected several mining sites marked by the exploration team. Although the lignite here did not reach the surface, the depth of the topsoil was less than one meter, and the ore body was regular, making it easy to mine. As long as the surface soil layer is peeled off, the mining section can be pulled up for large-scale one-day mining.
The quickest and most labor-saving method of stripping away topsoil is blasting. Ye Yuming reported to the Planning Commission and requested the allocation of gunpowder, fuse and engineers. He also does some blasting, but he hasn't done much actual work. To be cautious, I still hope to call Panda, a professional.
On this day, the villagers saw several more bullock carts coming on the road. Each oxcart is far apart. The oxcart is covered tightly with a shed, and there is a big red sign hanging on it. People who recognize the calligraphy said it says: "Fireworks are strictly prohibited." Red cloth was wrapped around the horns of the cattle, and there were soldiers carrying hammers and drills next to each vehicle. For a time, there were different opinions as to 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, and they will use gunpowder to blow up the mountain. Everyone is asked not to enter the designated lime areas casually. Go inside the line, otherwise you will be killed or injured.
Everyone found it strange. When digging coal, everyone just needs a hoe and a basket. Where is the need for gunpowder? Besides, when the gunpowder explodes, doesn’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. After each blast, we have to clean it section by section." Ye Yuming wanted to do a big blast with a big roof. Two or three shots would peel off the topsoil of the mining section, and then clean it up. edge mining. This can shorten the construction period by at least one-third.
"It's a bit dangerous." Panda hesitated, "This is a relatively large explosion."
"Just give it a try. At worst, the fuse will be farther away."
The two of them looked through the information together, looked at the terrain map, and saw how the blastholes 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 in charge of mines in the safety supervision department. 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. The good boy sneaked to the mining surface and took a look. A large piece of the ground here had been removed, leaving a large pit that was not deep, and a hill had 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 person who set off the bombs was an Australian, Qianhu left without saying a word. The liaison officer noticed that the young officer's face turned pale. .
After blasting, several mining areas in Nanbao were exposed. Ye Yuming directed the miners and infrastructure workers to clean up the ground. Build a mining working surface and let workers mine.
At first, workers used manual mining methods with 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 exhausting. Ye Yuming hardened cement concrete on a mining slope and then laid iron-clad wooden rails. An animal-drawn winch station was set up above. In this way, coal can be loaded on a small mine car and pulled directly from the mining working surface along the track. Work efficiency is greatly improved.
The remuneration of miners is very generous - this is also due to the nature of the work. Miners are physically demanding workers. Without enough protein, they must provide a certain amount of carbohydrates to ensure calories.
There are two types of miners at 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 benchmark wage level of 118 yuan for industrial workers in Bairencheng. Of course, to get this salary, you must complete the quota. After simple calculations, Ye Yuming stipulated that each working group-a group should be composed of 4 people: 2 excavators and 2 cart workers. The minimum quota for each group per shift is 8 tons for coal or ore mining. For the amount, a bonus will be given based on the standard of 0.5 yuan for each amount of 200 kilograms.
The other is local piecework. Most of the local farmers are unwilling to work in the mines because they have to farm. Ye Yuming implemented the piece-rate temporary work system. This is the work point system of modern small coal kilns. According to the number of coal trucks transported to the coal stack, 0.5 yuan will be paid for every 200 kilograms of ore transported per day or ore. A piecework laborer can mine about 1 to 2 tons of coal every day and can get 5 to 10 yuan in circulation coupons. If you work continuously for a month, you can get at least 150 yuan. This income is very attractive to workers in the traversing group system. (!)! ~!
