Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 356: Massive construction work, mine collapse

The problem lies with Director Lu. I don’t know where Secretary Chen got it from. He said that he had relevant design experience, so this gadget is no big deal.

Zhu Xuefeng lost interest, but he didn't want to delay Director Yang's commission, so he designed one by himself. If they had ideas, let him fiddle with another set by himself.

...

"Brother, it seems that Mr. Zhu is really a god. All my hidden illnesses for many years were cured by him with just one pill."

"You, you, I told you that Mr. Zhu is very magical, so please be respectful. Fortunately, Mr. Zhu didn't argue with you, and even gave you a pill. Okay, let's not stay here anymore, let's go back."

"I have to quickly implement the matter of sir, and you also have to select some people to get a site according to sir's requirements. I think Mr. Zhu attaches great importance to this. Be serious and get it done, and your benefits will be indispensable."

"Brother, you are wrong. I can only admire Mr. Zhu from the bottom of my heart for being able to do such a big thing. Don't worry, I will definitely handle it properly. It's just that I have to stay there for a few years. , it’s a bit long.”

In fact, the second child doesn't understand why he wants to develop a power in Pajawa, and he has to stay in hiding for several years.

"Second brother, it's clear that Mr. Zhu is very satisfied with your plan this time, so he gave you this important task. Although I don't understand what Mr. Zhu wants to do, it must be very important. I have allocated five numbers to you at once. One hundred thousand funds, how generous this is, don’t think blindly, sir, I didn’t say not to let you come back, you will come back every now and then.”

"No, I have to report it quickly. If this is done, our county's life will be much better this year, and we can also earn foreign exchange."

In a short period of time, numerous construction sites were erected in Myzina, including residential areas, cement factories, lumber mills, chicken farms, mining factories, lumber mills, steel mills, food processing plants, and entire farms.

"By the way, we need to find someone to investigate carefully. This location is very interesting. Why did such an autonomous region suddenly appear? If it is really for the benefit of the local people, we can also help..."

"Let me see what they want to do. Are their people still there?"

"Commander Song, according to their reply this afternoon, it will be decided based on the water conditions after the year. It is expected that construction may start in February after the year."

"I don't see anything wrong. Both parties can benefit. Besides, supporting the development of the third world is what we advocate. When we engage in construction, we all want to fill our bellies and live a better life. I see, there is no problem. "

The Heili River in Mizina has also welcomed survey and design personnel. Twenty walking tractors and forty three-wheel tractors will be delivered on time. The construction of thermal power plants has also begun in full swing outside Pagang.

"Yes, we are going to rest in the guest house now."

The leader is very excited. The other party wants to buy a lot of things, all related to agriculture and construction. If this can be done, it can solve many employment problems and provide many products for export to the factories here.

"Leader, take a look at the situation reported below. It's very interesting."

With the help of technical personnel from Qichong County and more than 3,000 migrant workers, the construction of Pagang and Mizina has developed rapidly.

Qichong County acted very quickly and reported the information quickly level by level.

"Leader, the other party has asked us for construction assistance and commercial interoperability. Please take a look."

...

With the power of Qichong County, the two parties plan to widen dozens of kilometers of small roads in more than two months, making it barely passable for vehicles and machinery.

There is nothing against the rules or anything sensitive. As they said, they also harvest the fungi and wild vegetables all over the mountains and fields. This is a good thing and can create wealth for the people.

"The leadership is so courageous. This series of actions has greatly accelerated the pace of our construction. By the way, they promised to start construction of the hydropower station when."

The leader of Qichong County was very surprised. As far as he knew, the exchanges between the two sides had never been interrupted. The scale was very small and they were all individual behaviors. When did a collective behavior appear?

"The other party wants to buy walking tractors and tricycles? And they also want them from Beijing? They also ask to send workers and experts to help build power plants. They pay for the construction costs, and there are other things to purchase..."

A few days later, the reply was: "It works, support it!"

A week later, the leaders of the relevant departments of Yunnan Province, the local leaders of Baozha and the leaders of Qichong County signed an agreement with the Guoming Autonomous Region. The agreement required the Guoming Autonomous Region to pay 20% of the capital in advance for start-up, and then settle the settlement according to the project, and the autonomous region used gold. , silver, foreign exchange or resource payment shall be converted according to international prices. Other unfinished matters shall be settled through friendly negotiation between both parties.

"Mayor Yang, the main task next year will be the planning and construction of Pagang's commercial and residential areas, as well as our municipal government."

"Yes, there are also water conservancy, electricity and transportation. The burden is still very heavy. The most important thing is not this. The key is that the city will have no money next year."

Song Yan stood on the wooden building and looked ahead. It was indeed very expensive to build the road, so he didn't plan to do anything major this year. He just wanted to repair it and make it open to traffic.

"How is the budget situation this year, Mayor Yang?"

"With the fungi and wild vegetables purchased by Qichong, plus the ones from us, it is estimated that the income will be around 90,000 U.S. dollars when sold to Fusang through Xiangjiang, and the income from the sale of timber is estimated to reach 80,000 U.S. dollars, and some of it will be shipped In the past, debt repayment cost about US$70,000.”

"Other factories are still under construction. It is estimated that there will be no profit this year. Besides, the minerals are not allowed to be sold. At this stage, the debt can only be paid off after rough processing, which is expected to reach 0.5. The gold has been purified by kilograms. It is expected to be purified by kilograms in the second half of the year. to five kilograms.”

Song Yan nodded. There are a large number of associated gold deposits in the copper mines. The leader has already stated that they are not allowed to be sold. In principle, the sale of non-renewable resources must be controlled.

Yang Maosheng continued. "Looking at the current situation, when the farm's food is harvested, it should be able to barely solve the food problem in the first half of next year. We have to continue to open up wasteland."

"The tax revenue of the autonomous region is estimated to reach 3.7 US dollars, and the salary expenditure is estimated to be more than 5 US dollars. All houses and shops are still under construction. They should not be able to be rented out this year. The construction expenditure budget has reached 58 US dollars, and the other party has agreed to include US dollars. Use resources to pay debts.”

"There are also tractors and three-wheelers purchased for a total of 4.8 US dollars. We are now unable to make ends meet. This year's deficit is expected to be around 29. The municipal finance will only have a balance of 31 US dollars. Next year, hydropower stations, road construction and commercial areas, residents Once the district and several factories are started, this money is not enough.”

"Commander Song, can we use the one million US dollars sent by His Highness?"

Yang Maosheng was so overwhelmed by money that he was constantly under construction and asking for money everywhere. The city's finances only had seizures and donations from the Yang family, which together were equivalent to 600,000 U.S. dollars, which would definitely not be able to support such a large-scale construction.

Although manpower and material resources are extremely cheap, and wood can be obtained anywhere, the amount of work is large, and the other party's project funds have to be paid, which is a big deal.

A total of 42.8 is expected to be paid to the other party this year for the purchase of equipment, tractors, three-wheelers, and project settlements. For a city of Pagang with less than 3.7 people, this is a heavy burden. You must know that the tax revenue for half a year is only million, less than one dollar per capita.

Song Yan still shook his head, "I made it very clear when I received this money that it is for emergency use. It is best not to touch it until there is a natural or man-made disaster." "Besides, the boss asked us to be self-reliant. Is it too much to strive to support yourself? The boss is capable, but you can’t rely on the boss to support so many people. You don’t have to worry, everything will be fine when the bank starts operating normally.”

Yang Maosheng is not optimistic about the role of banks. His Highness proposed stimulating internal demand. But after receiving wages and labor remuneration, will these people really spend or save it?

"Next year, we can sell the house and rent the shop, and the truffles before and after will also be a big income. The chickens raised this year and the farm opened will bring a lot of money."

Yang Maosheng was convinced by this. Mountain mushrooms, fungi, and wild vegetables that he was not optimistic about, but after someone from Xiangjiang came to guide the production, hibiscus became popular.

According to the current situation, it can bring in about 9 US dollars in just half a year. If truffles are like what His Highness said, they can indeed solve a big problem.

But His Highness refused to sell the jade and let it be dug slowly. According to the news from Xiangjiang, the price of jade in the market in Xiangjiang has increased by about 10%. Yang Maosheng guessed that His Highness wanted to continue to raise the price of jade.

...

Just like the large-scale construction work and excavations in Guoming area, Zhu Xuefeng is also at the excavation site now.

Yesterday I followed Secretary Chen and set out for Shandong Province. Our destination was the Ludong Aluminum Factory (Factory 501) in Shandong Province. The steel rolling mill has been trial-producing small aluminum alloy engines since last year.

Although there are many shortcomings, the advantages are also obvious. Everyone agrees with Zhu Xuefeng's view that aluminum alloy engines are indispensable in future automobile projects, especially motorcycle engines, which will definitely be replaced by aluminum alloy engines.

The motorcycle market seems to be developing rapidly now. If the steel rolling mill wants to maintain this advantage and continue to expand the market, it is urgent to replace the aluminum alloy engine of this motorcycle.

The leadership of the steel rolling mill reached an agreement and reported it to their superiors. Unfortunately, the current aluminum output is very low, and the ministry does not have extra quotas. It left a contingency plan for the steel rolling mill to try it on its own. If others are willing to give outside the plan, It is also a good thing that the rolling mill provides it.

The Zibo area of ​​Shandong Province is rich in bauxite. As early as the early 19th century, alumina shale layers were discovered. This was considered an important resource for national defense at the time, so it was logical to build the first aluminum ore plant. , and later it was plundered by Xiaozi and renamed Nam Dinh Factory, which can be regarded as very historical.

It occupies a large area. It is located in the south of Zhangdian City. The gate of the factory is not big. There are guards with guns standing in front of the door. It is still not as good as the steel rolling mill in terms of appearance. However, the guards are equipped with guns on duty, which shows that there is something wrong with this unit. Same.

"Old Chen, I didn't expect you to come so quickly. Our factory director and secretary are both busy. We really neglect you. Come on, let me take you in."

The person who came out to greet him was Deputy Secretary Xu from the 501st Factory. The two of them had been fighting on the same front for many years, so they were very familiar with each other.

"Old Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. At the last summary meeting at the end of the year, I said you were leading the team to study, but I didn't see you."

"Oh, you were talking about that time. There was a notice from above that there are new methods and ideas for refining bauxite. I took people to study. That's what happened. Haha, Old Chen, your brain is still so good. ”

A group of people chatted and entered the factory area. This place was completely different from the main entrance. In recent years, the aluminum factory has also been greatly expanded, adding many factories and workers.

The accompanying person next to him was also proudly introducing his factory.

"Our factory is the first alumina production base in the country. The factories you see are all formed by our expansion in five phases in the past few years."

"It's amazing. You guys are developing so fast. I see some workshops even use steam engines. This is a lot of equipment."

Director Shao from the Technology Department also came. Logically speaking, it should be Director Huang from the Materials Department. He was also amazed at the development of the aluminum plant.

The introducer was very proud, "These steam engines were provided by the state in the past two years. The other equipment and instruments were all made by the masters of our factory. That's how amazing they are."

It turned out that when we took over this factory, it was basically destroyed, and not a single decent thing was left. Faced with this, the older generation of workers relied on their skillful hands to make guns, bullets, grenades, and landmines. Equipment and instruments were built.

"You are really amazing. Most of the equipment in our factory has been preserved. You are truly self-reliant. You have built such a huge factory from the ruins."

Secretary Chen, who was walking in front, was having a showdown with Deputy Secretary Xu.

"Old Xu, I came to the Three Treasures Hall this time for no reason. I came here to beat the autumn wind. Even though Lao Liang and Lao Zhang are not here, you have to help me with this. Well, what are so many people running around for? "

Before Deputy Secretary Xu had time to speak, he was confused by the chaotic situation in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in the distance, followed by a vibration on the ground.

"No, something must have happened, Lao Chen, I..."

Secretary Chen was also very serious, "Old Xu, needless to say, you should quickly organize people to take a look. Don't worry about us. We will go there by ourselves."

Such a big movement might be a big deal. There are hidden dangers in many places in large factories today. There are big gaps in management and conditions. These are difficult to avoid with risk awareness alone.

We are afraid of accidents, but it is basically difficult to prevent accidents. In the case of steel rolling mills, work-related injuries occur almost every year.

"Old Chen, I won't say much. You can go over if you want. Just watch from a distance and try not to do anything."

Knowing that something was really going on, Lao Chen and the others would definitely help, but I would like to remind you that an accident must have occurred. If outside fraternal units participated in the rescue, it would be even more troublesome if something happened again.

...

Looking at the scene in front of them, a group of people in the steel rolling mill were also shocked. This mine is indeed dangerous, and the mine cave has collapsed!
The scene was chaotic. Four or five people were being picked out with their heads bruised and bleeding, and were about to be sent away for rescue.

A worker whose head was smashed was still shouting. "Leave us alone, there are still people inside. Technician Liu went in to look for people again, but they haven't come out yet."

At this time, Deputy Secretary Xu also organized many people to come over, quickly understand the situation, and arrange rescue.

It turned out that more than ten minutes ago, the technicians working outside discovered that something was wrong and rushed in to ask people to evacuate regardless of the danger.

Two groups of people came out, about twenty people. The ones who were injured just now were the second group. Just when they reached the entrance of the cave, the cave started to cave in. Fortunately, they all ran out and only a few people were injured.

There were two groups working in another mine inside. After the technician notified the two groups, they went deeper again, but the results were not available.
