Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 523 A New Thing Made By The County Venerable
In winter, there was a heavy snowfall in Lantian, which was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the land that was illuminated was really clean.

But before Li Chaosheng could fully enjoy the snow scene, the industrious Lantian people had already gone out to clean up the snow that fell in the city, and each household also started to light up the newly bought stoves, burning the coal bought from the coal shop in the city. New honeycomb.

Honeycomb coal is a new product produced by Lantian No. [-] Coal Yard. It is said that it burns well and reduces the risk of poisoning compared with the large coal burned before.

Seeing the thick smoke rising from thousands of households, Li Chaosheng still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. You must know that in the past, the people in Lantian could only rely on hard work in winter. Before Li Chaosheng took over Lantian, people often heard that someone Frozen to death alive in winter, so for the old Lantian people, winter is a pass, pass the gate of hell.

Although after Li Chaosheng took over Lantian, no one died of freezing in Lantian, the life of the people in Lantian is still not easy, and they still rely on hard resistance in winter.

Ever since, Li Chaosheng raised the issue of the people's wintering to the bright side, and took the lead in proposing at the Lantian government meeting that the issue of keeping the people in Lantian warm in winter should be treated as an important livelihood item.

Thus, the Lantian No. [-] Winter Warming Plan was born. The plan mainly includes three aspects. First, the government should take the initiative to contribute funds to repair houses for ordinary people, especially households with five guarantees, widowed elderly, or those who have difficulties in family life. The houses of these people cannot be allowed to leak rain in summer and wind in winter.

The chiefs of all villages and towns should take the initiative to understand the situation of the people, care about the living conditions of the people, and actively report the repair costs, which will be allocated directly by the Lantian County Government.

By the way, the main source of this money to improve people's livelihood is the large amount of supplies seized by Li Dingguo during this military operation, and the funds after the sale of horses. Li Chaosheng specially allocated this money to the entire poor families in Lantian County , rebuild the house on.

Regarding this matter, there was a very heated discussion within Lantian. At that time, the military had great objections to the use of this money. They believed that this money should be handed over to the military to expand its armaments. After all, this money belongs to their military. The military should have the priority to use the money earned by Lantian.

The Lantian Political Department feels that since the money has entered the public account, it should follow the overall plan of the Political Department, and the military has established its merits, but Lantian has not treated the military badly. The rewards are all rewarded, and the military should not obstruct the use of this money.

The military was also very dissatisfied with this, thinking that the people in the political department were killing donkeys, using people to go forward, and not using people to go back. The matter came to Li Chaosheng, and finally Li Chaosheng decided directly: "Don't earn this money, we Lantian soldiers and civil servants don't earn money to satisfy our own selfish desires, but to benefit the general people of Lantian, so This money is neither given to the military nor to politics, it is not used to expand infrastructure, this money is used to improve people's livelihood!"

When Li Chaosheng was in Lantian, he kept his promises. Neither the military nor the political department had room to bargain for his final decision, so he had to obediently hand over the money to Li Chaosheng.

Li Chaosheng was also polite. After getting the money, he immediately transferred the money to the winter heat preservation fund.

Now the people of Daming are all seeking to survive, and Li Chaosheng wants to make the people of Lantian under his command live well, to the point where other people in Daming envy and yearn for it, so that Lantian can maintain a high attractiveness. The country does not use the danger of mountains and streams, and the power of the world does not use the benefits of military revolution.

Only by letting the people under your command live well can you gain the real support of the people. As long as the people really support you, no one can shake your regime.This is the development path of Li Chaosheng Lantian.

Therefore, when Li Chaosheng is rich, he thinks about benefiting the common people, unlike some people who have money and want to benefit himself, so that he can live a life of luxury and money.

Just like what an entrepreneur surnamed Wang said, if an entrepreneur makes money, don’t think about going out every day to donate money to make yourself famous. If you have this money, you can distribute it to employees and make employee benefits high Yes, the employees will do it for you in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise you will not be a good entrepreneur no matter how much money you donate.

These words are rough and not rough, if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, if you are rich, you will help the world. The people under your command are living a fiery life. If Li Chaosheng is brain-dead to engage in some kind of extra-staff assistance, he is simply stupid, and he will be poked by the people of Lantian Backbone scolding.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng began to gradually improve people's livelihood under the condition of reduced external pressure.

Therefore, there are three major plans for keeping warm in winter. Now there is no need to worry about the food in Lantian, it is enough to eat. Under the condition of ensuring the safety of rations, the next step in Lantian is to improve the lives of the people in Lantian in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. , and the winter warmth plan is one aspect of living.

The supplement to the winter heating plan is divided into several parts. One part is the five-guarantee households that Li Chaosheng is most concerned about, and the housing repairs of difficult households.

In addition to the most basic five-guarantee household plan, Lantian has two important initiatives, the expansion of the first Lantian Coal Yard for civilian use.

Lantian Coal Yard is a supporting department developed by Li Chaosheng to support the development of Lantian Iron and Steel Plant. Its main function is to mine coal mines. Shaanxi and Shanxi are very close. There is a gift from God here, that is, coal, a large amount of coal.

Shanxi is a major coal-producing province, and there are some coal mines next to Shaanxi. Coal is an important industrial material, and they are indispensable for steelmaking and ironmaking.

You must know that the ironmaking blast furnace in Lantian does not burn wood, but high-quality coal mined in large quantities. Only after the coal is fully burned can it reach the high temperature required for blast furnace ironmaking.

Therefore, the Lantian Coal Yard has always been a subsidiary industry of the Lantian Iron and Steel Industry. It has not achieved independent profitability, and the utilization rate of coal in the private sector is not high. The reason is simple. After burning coal, it will produce toxic gas carbon monoxide. This scientifically underdeveloped world is daunting enough, so ordinary people would rather freeze than burn coal.

In this regard, after Li Chaosheng learned the truth of the matter, he decided to change this situation. The coal must be burned, otherwise how to solve the heating problem of the people in Lantian.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng formulated the two most important steps in the winter heating plan. One is the coal yard reconstruction plan, and the other is to make an earthen stove, which is the most popular coal-burning stove in the 90s. A thick iron pipe is pressed on the stove. , Just like a large chimney, it can send the burned exhaust gas outside, so that carbon monoxide poisoning can be saved.

This is the second step of the Lantian winter heating plan. The Lantian Iron Stove Factory is established to manufacture qualified iron stoves to solve the problem of heating for the people of Lantian.

There is no problem at all in the development of the Iron Stove Factory. After all, the Lantian cannons are easily manufactured, how many iron stoves can be produced?

Therefore, the Iron Stove Factory opened soon. After the opening of the Iron Stove Factory, Li Chaosheng went to the coal yard to inspect, and found a very serious problem, that is, the waste of the coal yard. In the coal yard, every day there will be A large amount of coal scum was poured out, and a huge coal scum pit was piled up in the backyard of the coal yard, which was full of coal face and cinders that were not used by the steel factory.

The management personnel of the coal yard were also very helpless about this. When Li Chaosheng asked how to deal with the face of the coal, he gave a ridiculous answer, bury it, bury it, what kind of plan is this?
Li Chaosheng was very dissatisfied with this, isn't this a waste?We must know that in the future any resource will be precious wealth, and no waste will be allowed, but these coal face does not meet the current steel mills' requirements for coal.

But after thinking about it, Li Chaosheng came up with a perfect solution, which was briquettes.

Honeycomb is a processed coal product, which has the characteristics of fully burning and saving raw materials, and more importantly, if the honeycomb is processed, the safety of using the stove for heating is also better guaranteed, after all, the shape of honeycomb is the same Yes, make the stove suitable for burning honeycomb coal, so as to ensure the airtightness of the stove and make it safer.

So after some sorting out, Lantian Coal Yard established a subsidiary company, Lantian Honeycomb Coal Manufacturing Factory, which specializes in manufacturing honeycomb coal.

The production method of briquette is very simple. It is made of coal foam and yellow mud. The function of yellow mud is to increase the plasticity of coal face. The ratio is generally one hundred to five, that is to say, one hundred catties of coal face plus five catties. Yellow mud, honeycomb coal can be made.

This Li Chaosheng is no stranger. I saw my grandfather make this kind of thing when I was a child. It is very simple, mainly molds, and the abrasive tools are not difficult. For the factory in Lantian that can manufacture precision parts for guns, it is necessary to allocate some time to make them. Point abrasive, easy and enjoyable.

Under the personal supervision of Li Chaosheng and the cooperation of all departments, the Lantian honeycomb coal factory officially started production in three days. The shape of briquettes is cut out by the mold, and after drying in the sun, the first batch of briquettes is successful in five days.

At the same time, the first batch of [-] stoves from the Iron Stove Factory was also completed, and then Li Chaosheng designed briquette stove stores in various places in Lantian. However, people in Lantian also have a deep-rooted idea that coal is poisonous. Li Chaosheng also has a solution to this. It is to treat all stores as flagship stores and display them first.

Therefore, these shops were the first batch of briquette stoves to be used in Lantian. The shop put the stove in the middle, followed by opening a hole in the window, sticking out the chimney made of iron barrels, and then lit the briquettes. The house is getting hot.

At the same time, Li Chaosheng also educated the shop assistants to let them know why coal burning is poisonous. The main reason is that the people of Ming Dynasty used braziers for burning. The doors and windows were closed last winter, so they were naturally poisoned.

But our briquette stove is different. This iron chimney is specially made to exhaust all the poisonous gas. There is only temperature in the house, and there is absolutely no poisonous gas.

After hearing the clerk's introduction, the common people were skeptical, and then the clerk emphasized that this is what the county lord said, and everyone believed it eighty percent, and then it was time to witness the miracle with their own eyes.

As a result, briquette stove shops all over the country began to burn fires around the clock, and the clerks were all veterans of Lantian. After these people learned that the county lord said that this thing is not poisonous, they didn't hesitate at all and slept directly in the shop. Don't you say it's poisonous? ?Then I will personally show you whether it is poisonous or not.

Days passed like this, and then the people were surprised to find that the clerk in the store was fine, and then people began to be skeptical. After ten days, someone finally believed it and came to the store to order a set of stoves and 100 yuan. Yuan briquettes, after all, it's too cold this day, and you need to wrap yourself in a quilt when you stay at home.

This is also something that can’t be helped. Now we are in the Little Ice Age of Earth’s climate change, and the degree of coldness is not the same as that of later generations.

And the person who was the first to eat crabs may not be resistant to freezing, so he assumed the burden of this experiment. Countless people watched whether the person who bought the stove would be poisoned to death.

A few days later, the big guy found that the person who bought the stove was red-faced, and he didn't look like he was poisoned at all, so he went over and asked, "How is it, brother, can this stove really burn coal?"

Hearing this, the man smiled and said: "Brother, the county venerable guarantees things, can there be anything wrong? When have you ever seen the county lord hurt us? Let me tell you that this stove is really easy to use. One point The whole room is hot, and you don’t know, you can do other things on this stove, for example, if you don’t want to eat, throw two sweet potatoes on it, and it will be more fragrant after roasting, and I suggest that when you buy it, By the way, buy an iron pot, and then make tea and drink some hot water later, it will save trouble."

"real or fake?"

Everyone showed puzzled expressions, but the man smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, don't you believe in the county lord? Besides, I've been using that stove for seven or eight days, isn't it all right? Don't hesitate, everyone, it's really all right, it's so good The things that we Lantian people can use.”

After hearing this, the common people were moved, so more and more people began to buy stoves, and more and more people began to use briquette stoves. In the blink of an eye, selling stoves became the hottest business in Lantian. The income from selling stoves and briquettes throughout the winter has exceeded the money Li Chaosheng set aside to repair houses for needy households. It even made Lantian's finances a little richer, making Lantian's budget for this year much larger. Li Chaosheng can use The money can do more things.

Therefore, the little money from wars and robberies is far behind the profits brought by commercial development, so militarism is not acceptable. Lantian's development route is to help other Ming people as much as possible and expand its territory under the condition of economic development.

Li Chaosheng got into his office after thinking, sat in front of the stove and started to warm up: "It's really cold today."

Li Chaosheng muttered, and Gu Zi rubbed his hands on the side and said, "The county lord, I have something to tell you, two scholars came from Jiangnan, one is called Huang Zongxi, and the other is called Gu Yanwu. They want to see the county lord, can the county lord see you? "
