Chapter 746 Restrictions and troubles

Yang reformed Sun Yuanhua to remind him of something. To build a large-scale factory, there must be water. If there is water, there must be a river. The factory can only be built by the river, and a certain degree of water conservancy project may be built. To store water, the most important thing is that the total amount of rivers and water power in this world is actually limited, and the places suitable for building factories are even more limited...

Sun Yuanhua reminded Yang Reform that he thought of many things in an instant. Many things that he didn't pay attention to or didn't need to pay too much attention to in the past may now become resources and become something that is in short supply.The changes that the Industrial Revolution has brought to the world are indeed enormous.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty cared more about land, and only land was recognized as an asset. When you became an official, the first thing you thought of when you became rich was to buy land, but now this industrialization is about to start. The importance of mountains, rivers, etc. It gradually became apparent that the main assets were no longer limited to the fields.

In the past, the management of rivers and mountains was still very laissez-faire and loose, but now, resources such as rivers are about to become tight assets, and they can no longer be so casual and laissez-faire.

The mountains, rivers and rivers of the entire Ming Dynasty should be surveyed and counted immediately. Yang Reform's first thought was to find Xu Xiake immediately, and to conduct surveys and surveys of the Ming Dynasty immediately.These things that I didn't pay attention to before are all resources, but they are all assets!Perhaps for a long time, it is a very tight resource.It is indeed necessary to deploy and control these resources that were not in short supply...

"The Qing family is right. If you want to build a factory, you really have to choose a place with a river. This is a place near the capital that is suitable for building a factory..." Yang Reform followed Sun Yuanhua's words. At this point, he couldn't continue.Sighing secretly, this is indeed a troublesome matter. The fields and hills near the capital are all owned, not unowned. The fields need water to irrigate, and they need to build hydraulic facilities and factories. It is inevitable that these local snakes will nod. To put it a little deeper, if the factory is to be built without being affected, I am afraid that it will have to cooperate with the local local snakes, that is, the rich and powerful families.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform felt a burst of irritability, a burst of rejoicing, and a burst of helplessness.

What is annoying is naturally that I have the reputation of the emperor behind my back, as if everything in the world belongs to me, but in reality, there is absolutely no such thing as anything in the world that I can ask for. There have to be some compromises and concessions, and you have to cooperate with those wealthy families and scholars.Without the assistance and cooperation of scholars and wealthy families, it would be even more difficult to accomplish something.

Fortunately, it is my own strategy to cooperate with wealthy families from all over the world and tie them to my own industrialized chariot so that they can benefit from industrialization transformation and taste the sweetness. This is the right thing to do.

But in the current situation, in order to get the cooperation of the local rich and powerful families, it is obvious that they have to give them a lot of profits, and maybe they will meet many people who "excessively ask for prices".This made Yang Reform quite helpless.

Thinking about it again, I have some understanding in my heart. I am afraid that the decision that has been delayed in recent days can only be made at this time. How to distribute the shares and profits is the only cloud.

Once Yang Reform's mind diverged, he thought of more and more things. From the beginning of pondering, to the constant walking back and forth in the warm pavilion, at the end, it can be said that he was walking briskly.

Both Wang Chengen and Sun Yuanhua were surprised, what happened to the emperor?Go faster and faster?

Wang Chengen understood that the emperor was thinking of something very important, and he didn't dare to disturb him. Seeing that Sun Yuanhua wanted to ask, he immediately stopped Sun Yuanhua with winks and gestures.

How to build a factory, how to allocate shares and profits, you have to take into account where to build the factory, and you have to take factors such as rivers and water resources into consideration. The construction of a factory requires water power as power, and the construction of a factory definitely requires land. There is also a need for roads, which cannot bypass the local rich and powerful families, and their needs should be taken into account, just like building a heavy industry base in Tianjin, it is necessary to win over the local local snakes.

The factory still has to be built near the big cities where people are concentrated as much as possible. The sales volume, raw materials and fuels, hydraulic rivers, and local wealthy families must also be taken into consideration. .

Taking all these into consideration, how to build a cement plant, Yang Reform has already settled down, the cement plant still has to be built by means of stock participation, how much to build, according to the principle of eating meat first, you must be full, not too much Many, it is best to control it within single digits, counting the two that exist today, in fact, the maximum number of cement plants should not exceed eight.The most important thing is to ensure that the "landlords" in the first wave of transformation earn money.

Then you have to consider the issue of site selection. Power, raw materials, and fuel are issues that need to be considered at the same time. The rivers near big cities are limited, and the places suitable for building factories are even more limited. Under certain shares to take into account their interests.Yang Reform thought in his mind that until now, where to build a factory, how to build a factory, and the process and rules of building a factory are relatively clear.

Yang Reform figured it out, and his spirit had returned to his body. Seeing Wang Chengen and Sun Yuanhua staring blankly at him, he asked with a smile, "...Why are you in a daze..."

Wang Chengen and Sun Yuanhua dajiong, it's not that we are in a daze, okay, it's the emperor who is "tranced" by himself, okay?

The two lowered their heads awkwardly.

"...By the way, Sun Qing's family, I thought about it for a while. The size of the hydraulic power determines the output of the cement plant. The hydraulic power and output may be directly linked. It is very important to choose where to build the plant. This cement plant in the capital city , you should make up your own mind first, see which is more suitable, and pick out a few places for selection,..." Yang Reform already had some calculations in his mind, and began to make arrangements.

"The minister leads the decree." Sun Yuanhua agreed. In fact, he was already looking for a suitable place. The emperor did ask him to find a suitable place to build a factory. Of course, it didn't mean that he was asked to find a place with water power. Where there is water power, the scope has been greatly reduced, and it can basically be determined.

"...Well, the size of the water power directly determines the output of water power. I think that a certain degree of water power facilities may be built to store water to increase water power. This may also be related to irrigation and flood control. This, the Qing family may I have to give it to my staff, maybe this water storage thing will be a multifunctional thing, and it has to take into account many functions..." Yang Reform described what he thought of.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have also considered this issue. I think that if irrigation and factory hydraulic repairs are combined, I am afraid that it will affect the output of the factory. When there is less rain and drought, the irrigation water must be guaranteed. Wouldn't the factory have to shut down? Your Majesty, I think that the water supply to the factory should be the first priority, and at most irrigation should be taken care of, which is almost difficult for multiple parties to take care of it. At that time, it will definitely be unclear..." Sun Yuanhua said.

"Well, it makes sense. The hydraulic power is indeed limited by natural conditions, and it is not an ideal source of power. Perhaps, it must have a power source that is not disturbed by other factors!" Yang Reform sighed.Yang Reform thought about it, China's industrialization process, it seems that there is no such thing as what I encountered, and there is no trouble of not taking care of the hydraulic water and irrigation water of the factory. Think about it, too. China's industry is directly connected to the steam engine, of course not. I am in trouble now, but the West seems to have a record of this kind of industry.

Yang Reform still misses the steam engine very much. This kind of thing is the real symbol of the industrial revolution, but now, there is no shadow. It will take a long time for the steam engine to be invented and perfected.

"Your Majesty is right..." Sun Yuanhua replied.

"...Then the Qing family might as well give it a try and see if there are other sources of power. I always feel that there is always a limit to the water power in the world. In the future, there will be more and more factories of all kinds, and the water power will be more and more insufficient. This will always be troublesome. , I still have to think of other ways..." Yang Reform thought for a while, but he simply gave an introduction to the steam engine.

"Your Majesty, I also think this is the reason. I have little water in the north of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there is a lot of land to irrigate. If I want to free up water to drive the factory machines, I'm afraid I don't have so much rich water. The place to build the factory must be more restricted. Your Majesty wants to build a factory near the capital. There are only a few rivers near the Beijing city. They are nothing more than the Yongding River and the Yu River. There are almost a few months of dry season, I am afraid that the factory will be affected... If it is in the south, it is much better, but it is not as short of water as in the north. There are big rivers everywhere, and you can build in any place. The factory is not afraid of water shortage, and there is no need to compete with others for water, there is endless water..." Sun Yuanhua also said that this is a very realistic problem, and Sun Yuanhua did not think less about it. There was no water in the north of the Ming Dynasty. The south is plentiful, and it is difficult to compete with field irrigation for water sources. The rivers in the north always enter the dry season for a few months every year. Even the so-called big rivers cannot supply water all year round. If you want to To supply water throughout the year, this hydraulic project is probably not a small project. At least a big river must be cut off in the middle.

"The Qing family is right. In this regard, I haven't thought it through carefully... I, Da Ming, is still a country that relies on the land for food. Farming is always the first. If this factory wants to compete with the land for water use , I’m afraid the difficulty is not small! What can the Qing family do?” Yang Reform also found that his thinking about the process of industrialization was a little too simple. The water resources are for their own development, but the north is a big trouble. My own people are in the north, and the industrial base is bound to be in the north. This is really a big trouble.

"Your Majesty, the water power for the factory depends on the drop between the upstream and downstream. Only when there is a drop, can the water be powerful. Otherwise, even if there is water, it will not be able to drive the machine. I have also checked the two rivers. The more ideal place to build a factory is the upper reaches of the Yongding River, on the side of the West Mountain. Above the West Mountain, the Yongding River has a large drop, which can provide powerful water power. There is no need to compete with others for water sources, and besides, local materials can be obtained there, such as raw materials for burning cement and coal, which is a suitable place for building factories..." Sun Yuanhua explained.

"Oh, is it built there? The Qing family did a thorough investigation!" Yang Reform was a little depressed, but also a little excited.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the duty of the minister." Sun Yuanhua said, in fact, when the emperor asked him to find the address of the factory, he was looking for it. It can provide raw materials and fuel, and it needs to be close to the capital, so there are only a few The location, and the water source factors on the plane, the location of the cement factory can be determined almost without thinking. Apart from those few places, where else can there be?The conditions are relatively harsh, so it will be determined soon.

"Map..." Yang Reform shouted.Sun Yuanhua's work efficiency is still very high, and the factory site has been determined so quickly.

Wang Chengen hurried to prepare.

Not long after, the map was hung up.

"The capital, Xishan..." Yang Reform quickly found the place he was looking for.

"...But this position?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, this is probably the place... This place is not too far from the capital, just beside the Yongding River, and it happens to have raw materials and coal. It is an ideal place to build a factory..." Sun Yuanhua Said.

"Oh, it looks like the factory will probably be built here..." Yang Reform clicked on the map, but he didn't expect that the factory site was determined so quickly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's roughly at this location, it's a natural site for a cement factory..." Sun Yuanhua said affirmatively.

"Oh, that's it! What about other places? Isn't there a suitable place?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not that there are none, but there is no such suitable one. First, it is too far away from the capital, and it is too far to go one or two hundred miles. Moreover, even if there are raw materials, there is no hydraulic power. After calculations, it is impossible. This place is suitable..." Sun Yuanhua said.

"Oh, I understand. By the way, this place will also have the problem of dry season. How to solve it?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is not impossible. If you want to have water throughout the year, you must build a huge dam to cut off a big river. When the rain is abundant, the water will be stored and the water will be released in the dry season. This can ensure the year-round water. By the way, irrigation is guaranteed..." Sun Yuanhua said.

Hearing what Sun Yuanhua said, Yang Reform shuddered. The more he played, the more he played. He just wanted to build a cement plant, but now he wants to build a reservoir first... This is really not the time now Can play around.

"...Forget it. I don't think it's easy to build such a large reservoir. Let's not talk about it for now..." Yang Reform decided not to complicate matters.

Sun Yuanhua lowered his head.

"Well, it seems that the Qing family still has to put the matter of finding another source of power on the agenda! This matter will always be a troublesome matter in the future. When it comes to the dry season with little rain, I am afraid that the factory will shut down..." Yang Reform I have to do this kind of relatively bad deduction. I can't think of the best in everything, but I can only think of the worst and plan for the worst.

"Your Majesty's words are justified, and the minister is in command!" Sun Yuanhua was also in a mess, looking for another source of motivation?The emperor said lightly, what cheaper and sustainable source of power is there in the world?
