Chapter 403 Nanbao Coal Mine

"I have to find Xiao Bailang for this. He is in charge of this right now. However, the matter of ceramic kilns does not belong to the Ministry of Light Industry. It needs the Industrial and Energy Commission to place an order."

"This matter has been approved by the Executive Committee, and the Planning Committee issued the production task." Zhang Xin said, "Someone needs to help coordinate this matter-this matter has become the most profitable for your light industry department, so you can be the agent. "

"Okay, you will give me a [-]% discount when I come to Ziminglou to make purchases in the future."

"No problem. But no invoice will be issued." Zhang Xin said, "In addition, find me some construction and interior decoration professionals, and come up with a complete design and reconstruction plan for Ziming Building."

"This should be easy." Mo Xiao'an said, "To be honest, I'm curious, what do you plan to make the 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: this style is not even done in the bathhouses in our hometown."

In addition to sanitary ware, there are things that don't surprise Mo Xiao'an: such as transparent soap, shampoo, nail polish, lipstick and other cleaning products.Mo Xiaoan knew that these things were not technically difficult, and could be manufactured with very simple basic chemical products.The most technical content in modern cleaning products is synthetic fragrance, but in this time and space, pure natural products can be used.

"A full set of glass wine sets and tea sets is easy." Mo Xiaoan said after looking at it, "Crystal chandeliers?! This is quite difficult, let's try it out. Glass bottles of kvass - yes, but you have to be responsible for returning the bottles It’s too much trouble to make glass bottles now—why not bottle them? It’s easy to transport and doesn’t leak.”

"Isn't this for the purpose of raising the price?" Zhang Xin smiled, glass bottles are always better than barrels.

"It's really yours." Mo Xiaoan continued to flip through, "Sexy underwear?! Sexy dance clothes?!" He was taken aback, "Striptease!"

"Who says it's a striptease, don't take it off! It's for the half-revealed, half-covered feeling." Zhang Xin said, "We are going to launch a new concept of ancient dance in Ziminglou. Drinking some wine, looking at the beauties..."

"Stop—what is a brand-new concept of ancient dance? Is it a brand-new concept to wrap a few pieces of tulle, show thighs, and bare half of the buttocks?"

"Well, well, roughly so."

"That's still a kind of sex dance, vulgar, really vulgar!" Mo Xiaoan criticized with drooling, "But it's creative."

"The Ministry of Light Industry has a garment factory, so you should worry about it. When you come to Ziming Building in the future, the private room in the best location will be yours."

The Ministry of Light Industry has a quilt factory. It used to be that Wu De used the labor force of women in Bairen Commune to make quilts for laborers and soldiers. Later, when the Ministry of Light Industry was established, the whole factory was turned around.The factory has a number of special equipment such as sewing machines and edge machines brought from the 21st century, and the machinery factory has produced dozens of various sewing and knitting equipment locally.The production scale is not small, but they are all cut and sewed according to the paper shape, and no complicated and beautiful clothes have been made.

"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 Xiaoan hesitated, "I just can't figure out the materials."

The proposal to produce sexy lingerie was posted on the internal BBS very early on, and was rejected on the grounds of "shocking the world and affecting reputation" and "unable to guarantee monopoly copyright".In fact, sexy underwear looks like a few pieces of cloth, yarn and straps, but the technical content of the fabric is not low.In particular, many materials require a certain degree of elasticity, which is absolutely impossible in an era without synthetic fibers.A pair of the simplest nylon stockings, whose effect cannot be imitated by cotton knitwear alone.

"There are so many types of silk in China, you can always find similar ones. 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 look at it."

"Cigarettes are also easy. But air conditioners, ice machines... these are too nonsense. If you want to let Guangzhou have things that Lingao doesn't have, how can it be possible?"

"The air conditioner can be made. I came back this time and consulted with the Industrial Energy Commission. They have already made a set for the pharmaceutical factory. The ice machine said that it needs to be studied."

"If the machinery factory says it can do it, it probably can do it." Mo Xiaoan read the list again, "It will take at least half a year to complete all the arrangements."

"No problem, the sanitary ware must be completed on time and wait for installation."

Zhang Xin was very worried that the Planning Committee 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. , coupled with a problem with his background, he can't be regarded as a true seedling red, so it's better to abdicate as soon as possible to avoid suspicion.But Zhang Xin strongly persuaded him not to: Delong has just entered the station, if he resigned immediately, not only would it not be considered to avoid suspicion, but it would be regarded as a demonstration of dissatisfaction with the organization.

As soon as Guo Yi thought that his words were right, he dismissed the idea. Fortunately, Meng Xian has been in America for a long time, and he has been contaminated with Mi Yi's atmosphere. He is quite straightforward, and he is meticulous in his work. After a few months, it also complemented each other.

The plan for Ziming Building has actually been completed for several months, and PEPI has repeatedly asked for renovations to satisfy her desire to perform. Everyone has been hesitant, and finally Zhang Xin decided to go to Lingao in person— ——Originally, he also had to report to a figure in the intelligence committee—to report this plan face to face.Then meet with the people's commissars and heads of various departments and see how they react.

After returning to Lingao, the intelligence committee was very supportive of Ziminglou's idea, and it didn't take much talk from the planning committee.After Ma Qianju asked a few questions, he readily agreed to the plan.Subsequently, the Executive Committee adopted it without any discussion at the regular meeting.

The project of Ziming Building is very large, and it is a large-scale capital construction investment project, so the planning committee specially set up a project coordination team to coordinate this matter, with Mo Xiaoan as the team leader.There are a lot of coordinating departments and personnel involved in it, and it would be impossible to do it only by Guangzhou Station without the Planning Commission.

A telegram from the Planning Commission summoned Zhang Xingpei, who was expanding his house in Changhuabao, back.He is building a new immigrant village here in Changhuabao.The executive committee adopted Jiang Qiuyan's proposal: prepare to move immigrants in Changhuabao and Yulinbao.In order to ensure that the immigrants can settle down once they arrive at the place and avoid emotional fluctuations, the construction head office began to build the fortress-shaped B-shaped building designed by Wen Desi in the two places.Each such building can accommodate 38 households, which is enough for self-protection and simple production activities.If you want to increase immigrants in the future, you can increase them 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 to renovate the entire Ziming Building.

"Also, what style is Ziminglou planning to use?"

"In terms of appearance, it can't be too abrupt, and it can't be made into a Roman style or other European style-it's too ostentatious. Let's follow the traditional Chinese style."

"Okay." Then Zhang Xingpei took the equipment for measuring and drawing, and set off for Guangzhou.

"Notify Nanbao Mining Office," Ma Qianju called the person, "Immediately prepare to mine kaolin in Nanbao!"

The so-called Nanbao Mining Office is a stronghold set up by the Crossing Group with the main purpose of mining in order to facilitate the exploitation of various mineral resources in Nanbao. Set up a stronghold in the area.

Since Nanbao's lignite was expropriated for the first time, the Planning Commission found that the demand for lignite is actually very large.The local gypsum and kaolin are also important resources urgently needed by the Crossing Group and must be developed as soon as possible.

If we only rely on local human resources to carry out expropriation activities, considering the backward mining level of the local people, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and random digging and mining will also destroy local resources.Repeated forced labor will also cause public resentment.After a brief discussion, the executive committee believed that a professional mining village should be set up 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 site of the village—this place is roughly where the headquarters of Nanbao Coal Mine is located in later generations.Mei Lin of the construction company directed workers to build the first B-type residential building designed by Wen Zong on the site of the new village.Moso bamboo pipes were laid to divert water from springs on the mountain.The first batch of 38 miners will be moved in.Their task is to mine lignite, gypsum and kaolin locally.Then transport it back through the Nanbao-Bairen Highway.In the end, about [-] households will be resettled in Nanbao, forming a professional mining town here.In fact, this can also be seen as a preview of the large-scale development of Tiandu.

Resettlement of immigrants in Lingao is easier than expected. The land here is sparsely populated and there are many open spaces.Xiong Buyou arrived at Nanbao with the land expropriation team and some officials from the county government.It occupies a large area of ​​land in the local circle - all places where minerals have been confirmed by remote exploration teams. To be on the safe side, it also bought a large area of ​​land nearby to avoid any land disputes when it expands in the future.

The cross-travelers went to Nanbaolai to measure the land and built the stockade, which aroused the panic of the local villagers, especially the landowners with better paddy fields irrigated by mountain springs. All of them were unwilling to eat, and hurriedly begged the local liaison officer to inquire about measuring the land. What are you doing.Are you planning to take their land?All the villages suddenly panicked.

Later, when they saw that their exploration circles were all slopes and valleys, where there was a lack of water and many rocks, everyone was relieved. Those with quick brains had already guessed that the Australians were coming here to dig coal.

Workers began to build warehouses to store ore on the side of the road, and laid tracks between the warehouses and the mining area-this kind of track was wooden rails covered with iron sheets.If the track is made of wrought iron, there is no guarantee that it will not be stolen by the locals.The coal trucks on the tracks are constructed with iron frames and wooden walls, and each car can carry 1.5 tons of ore.The plan is to use cattle for traction.

Mining workers came soon after. They wore homespun overalls and rattan helmets, and walked on foot from the road. Next to them were four-wheeled ox carts that were too huge for the locals, covered with mat sheds.It contained mining tools, various daily necessities, food and their families distributed by the crossing group.Most of the miners come from coal mines in Guangdong and Jiangxi. Not many have wives and children, and many of them are extremely poor and completely single.

The development of Nanbao Mining Office was led by Ye Yuming himself. After arriving in Nanbao, he immediately took care of people to post recruitment notices in nearby villages to recruit local villagers who were willing to be miners.According to Ye Yuming's experience in modern time and space, mines seldom have conflicts and conflicts with local people, and absorbing some local labor can help alleviate such conflicts.

Ye Yuming learned from the exploration data that quite a lot of lignite in Nanbao can be mined in the open pit, and the burial depth is relatively small.The limit stripping coefficient of open-pit mining is at most 2, and some places even have outcropping veins directly, which is very suitable for open-pit 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 is not exposed to the surface, the depth of the topsoil is less than one meter, and the ore body is regular and easy to mine.As long as the surface soil layer is stripped, the mining section can be pulled up for large-scale open pit mining.

The quickest and most labor-saving method of stripping topsoil is blasting.Ye Yuming sent a report to the Planning Commission, asking for gunpowder, fuses and engineers.He can also do some blasting himself, but he hasn't done much actual operation.To be cautious, I still hope to call Panda, a professional.

On this day, the villagers saw several ox carts coming on the road.Each bullock cart is very far apart, and the bullock cart is tightly covered with a carport, and there is a big red sign hanging on it. People who read it say that it reads: "Strictly No Fireworks".The horns are wrapped with red cloth, and there are soldiers carrying hammers and steel rods next to each cart.For a while, there were different opinions and they didn't know what they had brought.

It was not until dinner time that someone got the news that the shipment was gunpowder.Then the liaison officers of each village were called to the "mine" for a meeting, and they came back to convey the spirit and said: Australians are about to open a mine here in Nanbao, and they will use gunpowder to blow up the mountain. Please don't just enter the limestone Go inside the line, or you will be killed or injured.

Everyone felt that it was rare. Normally, when digging coal, everyone would just take a hoe and carry a basket on their backs. Where would gunpowder be used?Besides, once the gunpowder explodes, doesn't it blow up all the coal?

Panda brought an engineering squad, five tons of black powder and hundreds of meters of fuse, and he and Ye Yuming inspected the mining section that was about to be blasted.

"It's safer to fire small cannons section by section to clear the soil and rocks section by section," Panda said.

"It takes too long. After each blasting, we have to clean it up section by section." Ye Yuming wanted to make a big blasting of the roof, and the topsoil of the mining section was stripped off in two or three blasts, and then cleaned up at the same time. side mining.In this way, at least one-third of the construction period can be shortened.

"It's a bit dangerous." Panda hesitated, "This is a relatively large explosion."

"Try it. It's a big deal to pull the fuse farther away."

The two looked through the information together, looked at the topographic map, and saw how the emplacement should be drilled.Engineering blasting is very technical, and these two are the only professionals in the entire time-traveling group.Ye Yuming used to be in charge of mines in the safety supervision department, and knew a thing or two about mine blasting.

A few days later, there was a loud noise from a distant mining area, followed by several explosions in succession. Several nearby villages felt obvious shaking under their feet, and when they came out to see, black smoke shot straight into the sky.The good guy slipped to the mining face and saw that a large piece of the ground had been removed, revealing a not-so-deep pit, and a small mountain had been cut in half.

The explosion was so loud that people from the nearby Qianhu Office also came to inquire about the situation. After hearing that the person who fired the cannon was an Australian, Baihu came and walked away without saying a word. The liaison officer noticed that the young officer's face was pale. .

After the blasting, several open-pit mining areas in Nanbao were exposed. Ye Yuming directed the miners and infrastructure workers to clean up the ground.Build the working face for mining and allow workers to mine.

At first, the workers used shovels and shovels to excavate by hand. The coal dug out was placed in large rattan baskets and transported by manpower to the rail station on the mining surface.Ye Yuming hardened a section of the mining slope with cement concrete, and then laid iron-clad wooden rails.An animal-drawn winch station was set up on it.In this way, the coal can be loaded on the small mine car and directly pulled up from the mining working face along the track.Work efficiency is greatly improved.

The treatment of miners is very generous - this is also due to the nature of the work. Miners are overweight physical labor, and if they do not have enough protein, they must provide excess carbohydrates to ensure calories.

There are two types of miners in the Nanbao Mining Office. One is immigrant workers. They are paid according to the standard of 180 yuan per month in circulation vouchers.This treatment is much higher than the benchmark wage level of 118 yuan for industrial workers in Bairen City.Of course, to get the full salary, the quota must be fulfilled. After simple calculations, Ye Yuming stipulated that each working group—a team should be composed of 4 people: 2 excavators and 2 cart workers.The minimum quota for one shift per group is 8 tons of coal or ore.For the excess part, a bonus of 200 yuan will be given for every 0.5 catties in excess.

The other is the local piecework.Most of the local farmers are unwilling to work in the mine completely because they want to cultivate the land.Ye Yuming implemented the system of piece-rate temporary workers.That is, the work point system of modern small coal mines.According to the number of coal trucks transported to the coal warehouse, the labor division will be issued, and 200 yuan will be paid for every 0.5 catties transported per day or ore.A piece-rate laborer can excavate about 1 to 2 tons of coal every day, and he can get a circulation coupon of 5 to 10 yuan.If you work continuously for one month, you can get at least 150 yuan.This income is very attractive to workers who travel through the group system.
