1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 543 Shi Lu's Trouble
Due to the technical problems in the train dispatching link, the current train density on this railway line is still difficult to achieve the freight level designed by the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Communications. The head of a department, but as the official in charge of Changhua Shilu Industrial Zone, the pressure of steel production is really on Qiao Zhiya.We must know that the main criterion for the executive committee to consider whether he will perform his duties in this position is steel production. As for other livelihood, public security, production safety, etc., that is a secondary issue.

However, the secondary issues cannot be easily ignored. When Qiao Zhiya was still racking his brains for the arrangement of railway trains, some problems also occurred on the construction site of Shilu Iron Mine.

Qiao Zhiya hurried to the mine after receiving a call from Tian Yeyou. The No. [-] mine pit, which had just started mining for only half a month, collapsed and landslide accident occurred, and the workers who were working at the bottom of the pit were buried below. The number of casualties is unknown at present. .To Qiao Zhiya, this is simply a leak in the house and it rains overnight. The problem of railway transportation capacity has not been resolved, and new troubles have arisen at the source of production here.

Qiao Zhiya's office is not far from the mining area, just over a hillside.When he arrived here, he happened to see a group of disgraced laborers evacuating from the work area, many of whom were wounded lying on stretchers with their heads bleeding.

Qiao Zhiya stopped a foreman he recognized and asked, "Where is the mine manager?"

"Report to the chief, the mine manager went down to the mine to check the situation." The foreman replied with some panic.

"Hurry up and call him up!" Qiao Zhiya said urgently: "The mine pit just collapsed, what if something happens again!"

The foreman responded, and trotted all the way to find Tian Yeyou.The mining method here in Shilu is the same as that of the Tiandu Iron Mine. It is open-pit mining, and the pit is continuously enlarged and deepened in a spiral mining method.This method is definitely much less dangerous than tunnel mining, but it does not mean that its safety is high. Landslides and landslides are common mining disasters in this kind of mine, but I don’t know how many there are this time. The unlucky ghost was buried below.

Not long after, Tian Yeyou came up from the mine, but he did not forget to put on the safety helmet he brought from before crossing, and the pair of Mechanix full-finger protective gloves that Qiao Zhiya gave him.

"Old Tian, ​​have you forgotten how valuable your own life is? The Executive Committee has repeatedly emphasized that your own safety should be considered first in any situation. If you dare to go down into the pit, who will be responsible for what happens?" Qiao Zhiya looked at When I got to Tian Yeyou, I couldn't help complaining to him first.

How many workers died in the pit is a secondary issue for the executive committee, but if something happens to the traverser, it will really be a major liability accident.In the past three years after the time travel, although several people died due to various illnesses, there has never been a precedent for a time traveler to die in a production safety accident.Moreover, Tian Yeyou is now the No. [-] expert among the few professionals in the mining department, and his value to Haihan is not comparable to those cheap labor forces.If something happens to Tian Yeyou, it can be said that Haihan's mining industry will suffer a negative impact in the next few decades, which is why Qiao Zhiya is so nervous about him.

Tian Yeyou waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't go down to the bottom of the pit, nor did I go down the side of the landslide. I was called up after looking at the situation below."

"How is the situation now, how many casualties are there?" After confirming that Tian Yeyou was safe and sound, Qiao Zhiya asked the real question.

"At the time of the accident, there were a total of three teams below carrying out excavation operations. After the landslide, some injured people ran out. According to the statistics of the survivors, there are about 33 people buried below." Tian Yeyou sighed Said: "Judging from the situation of the landslide, there should be no survivors. There are more than a dozen people injured, and a few of them were seriously broken by the rocks rolling down. The medical conditions here may not support them." Gotta go."

"What was the cause of the accident?" Qiao Zhiya breathed a sigh of relief after hearing about the casualties. The number was basically within a controllable range, that is, it would not affect future mine production, nor did it reach the level required by the executive committee. degree of difficulty.Of course, the most important thing is that these laborers who died at the bottom of the pit were made up of hard labor camps, and the value of the naturalized people who were not officially naturalized is not the same.

"Probably related to the rainfall in the past few days." Tian Yeyou explained: "After the surface soil layer here is excavated, there are gravels underneath, and once it is soaked in rainwater, the stability is very low. According to the workers who escaped, At that time, a mine truck collapsed a section of the road at the top of the mine pit, which led to a chain reaction, and when the earth and rocks slid to the bottom of the pit, it was no longer to the extent that manpower could resist."

"How long will the production of Pit No. [-] be interrupted?" This question is what Qiao Zhiya really cares about.

"That's why I specially called you to come over to see the scene." Tian Yeyou said in a gesture of greeting: "You come with me to the edge of the mine to see the situation."

Qiao Zhiya followed Tian Yeyou to the side of the mine pit, and he could clearly see that one side of the mine pit no longer has a circle of mine cart conveyance channels, but instead a slope formed by a piece of gravel, leading to the bottom of the mine pit.Since there is no steam-powered ore transport vehicle installed in Shilu like the Tiandu Iron Mine at present, we can only use a relatively primitive way for the time being. The cart pulled by animal power detours all the way along the circular road on the mine wall .Once the landslide buried the road, the ore could not be transported out from the lower part of the mine.

"It will take at least three to five working days to re-dig the conveying channel." Tian Yeyou pointed to the mine pit and gave the timetable: "Of course, this is under the condition that everything goes well. If it continues to rain these days, it is difficult to guarantee The next landslide will not happen during construction."

"That means we will lose almost half of our production capacity during this period?" Qiao Zhiya couldn't help frowning: "It's a trivial matter for our side to be delayed for a few days, but the impact on Changhua's side will be great. "

The coal-iron compound industrial base designed by the Ministry of Industry fully considered the distribution of raw materials and energy, and concentrated the coal produced in Annan Heitu Port and the iron ore produced in Shilu in Changhua area, and then produced steel.Since last year, Changhua has already built several blast furnaces for iron and steel making in advance, as well as a large number of charcoal kilns, and has already started the on-the-job training for industrial workers.

After the Shilu Iron Mine here was put into production, the furnaces in Changhua began to operate day and night.And if these iron-making and steel-making furnaces are turned off due to the interruption of the supply of raw materials, it will be a great waste of financial, human and material resources for the metallurgical department.Currently, Liu Xingli from the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the work in Changhua. He is the metallurgist with the highest technical level in Haihan, and he is also a strict person. Qiao Zhiya has a headache when he thinks of how seriously he checks the ore supply with himself every week. One or two tons of ore is like cutting his flesh. If the supply is cut in half, will this guy take the train to the Shilu mining area to tear himself up?

Of course, whether Liu Xingli will get angry because of this is still a trivial matter. If it really affects the production arrangement of the metallurgical department in Changhua, then when Qiao Zhiya and Tian Yeyou return to Sanya to report on their duties next time, life will not be so easy. .

Qiao Zhiya didn't wait for Tian Yeyou to answer, he shook his head and said: "This is not possible, the time is too slow, we have to resume production as soon as possible. Is there any other way?"

Tian Yeyou spread his hands and said: "We don't have any construction machinery available now. The only solution is manpower. If you want to be fast, you can only invest more manpower. Now there are only about 300 workers left in the No. [-] mine pit. You should know how many squares of earth and rocks you dig.”

Qiao Zhiya frowned and thought for a while before answering, "I'll transfer another 500 people to you, three shifts, don't stop work at night, and deal with this place as soon as possible!"

The number of hard labor put into the Changhua Shilu construction project has been at least three to four thousand people, and the elimination rate has remained at an astonishing 4000%. On average, one out of every five people is buried in this land.At present, there are about 20 hard labor camp workers in the two pits of the Shilu Iron Mine. Qiao Zhiya needs to transfer people now, so he can only find a way from other construction sites to dig the east wall to make up for the west wall. The problem is solved.

"If you give me another 500 people, the construction period should be cut in half." Tian Yeyou nodded and said: "I will keep an eye on it."

"Don't go wrong again, 500 people is the upper limit, and I can't find another 500 people to fill the hole if something happens again." Qiao Zhiya's face could not hide the exhaustion.The transfer of these 500 people will inevitably affect the progress of projects in other places under his rule, and it is inevitable that others will come to him to complain and argue.

But in Danzhou, a hundred miles north of Shilu, Zhang Xin, the new local administrator, had a much better life than Qiao Zhiya.As the former director of the Danzhou Office, Zhang Xin has not been in Danzhou for a short time. He has a clear understanding of the relationship between local people, things, and things, and he has made preparations in advance. After Haihan took over the place, he soon Getting started soon.

Danzhou's losses during the "pirate" occupation of the city can be said to be the largest among all states and counties in Qiongbei.This not only refers to the casualties caused by the pirate army during the siege of the city, but also the people and property in the city that were plundered by the pirate army after the capture of Danzhou.Of course, the vast majority of residents in the city feel very lucky that not long after the fall of Danzhou, the Haihan militia quickly came to recover the city and beat off those vicious pirates.

The Haihan militia that took over here immediately announced the authorization letter from the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi and Qiongzhou government, and issued a public announcement that before the local government agencies destroyed by the war resumed normal operations, the Haihan temporary agency will take charge of Danzhou , and the exercise of various executive powers.If anyone is unacceptable to this, they can go to Fucheng to appeal on their own - of course, what will happen if someone goes to Fucheng to appeal, the Anmin notice did not point it out, just wait for those who are restless to jump out of the net.

As the city in Qiongbei area that has been most deeply infiltrated by Haihan, the Office in Danzhou led by Zhang Xin had already removed some local people in Danzhou who were deeply prejudiced or even hostile to Haihan long before the implementation of the "Liaoyuan Project". The list of personnel was handed over to Sanya.During the pirates' capture of Danzhou, they used various excuses to cleanse these people, and by the way, their property was also confiscated.

After the militia army regained Danzhou, it was difficult for the local people to hear any voices against Haihan. Even the gentry in Danzhou naturally acquiesced to Haihan's temporary takeover of local government affairs.

For ordinary people in Danzhou, the way of life of the Haihan people has not changed much since they took over here. They should do whatever they want, but they don’t need to go to the state government to file a lawsuit when they have something to do, but to invite the Haihan people. The civil affairs officials of the Han Dynasty came to uphold justice.

It was some big local landowners in Danzhou who really felt the pain. They were quickly interviewed by the temporary management committee one by one, and the content was very consistent, that is, to hand over the land in their hands.Of course, this kind of delivery is still paid. The provisional management committee did not intend to grab their land by force, but the price offered by the Haihan people was indeed difficult to satisfy them.

The Haihan people also gave another solution, that is, the landlords will give the land as shares to Haihan for management, and they will simply enjoy the annual dividends as shareholders.Although this method of income is not comparable to the harvest they used to hire long-term tenants to grow crops, it is better than not having to worry about it. If there is enough land, the income is enough for the family to eat and wear.Moreover, the Haihan people promise to guarantee the harvest in drought and flood, and the risk is much smaller than that of their own business.The only disadvantage is that they have to give up the right to control the land, which means that they will only have nominal ownership. As for how to use these lands in the future, it is no longer something they can intervene in.

Of course, not everyone will be satisfied with this kind of exchange condition. The small landlords are forced by the power of the Haihan people, and most of them can only accept it. At least the Haihan people have promised that they can join the Haihan native place at any time, at least there is a way out to survive starvation .Anyway, everyone in the world knows that as long as you become a Haihan citizen, you don't need to worry about the basic necessities of survival, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The Haihan people will naturally arrange everything properly.However, some landlords and gentry with more land under their names are not very satisfied with this arrangement. After all, changes in the way the land is managed will have a greater impact on their income than those of small landlords.

It's not that no one tried to resist the Haihan people's land policy by force, but these people often overlooked a very simple fact-they couldn't even stop the pirates, so how could they stop the Haihan militia that drove away the pirates?
