Win the Ding 1617

() In order to establish a strong industrial system, there must be mass production, and if there is production, there must be raw materials.The raw materials for the steel industry are ore and coal.

In order to mine, Shouhan put a lot of manpower into Shixi Iron Mine and Guangning Coalfield.

In the two mines with different varieties and different mining methods, there is a similar scene: dense crowds of people like ants move quickly between the mountains.

The establishment of any industrial system is not a euphemistic and moving hymn. It was established at a great price, and in the 17th century, this price was often the bones of countless people.

Although the Shou Han had the words "Of course you don't want the cattle to die when raising cattle", for the native laborers, free laborers to those official slaves who are mainly prisoners of war, they are guaranteed to have enough nutrition, three meals a day, rice Although there is enough rice to eat, and a small bowl of wine to drink when work is over every day, the huge labor force still transports newcomers to the cemetery near the mine at a rate of about [-]% per year.

There is no other reason.

Labor intensity and workload.

According to the requirements of the Hanyuan firm, if the laborers in the mine are divided according to the type of work, they are mainly excavation, transportation, sorting (ore dressing?) and other major categories. The practice of instilling them is to formulate in detail the daily workload of each type of work and each person.Those in charge of mining must dig a few feet, those in charge of transportation must transport certain ores from the pit to the beneficiation plant, and those in charge of beneficiation and classification must pick out the corresponding ore and send it to the stockyard.

Then the coal, coal gangue, iron ore, etc. that have been sorted and selected will be transported away by the factories they need.

However, a large number of casualties occurred in these links.

Landslides and roof falls, accidents that are inevitable in the modern mining industry, are even more common here. However, fortunately, the Guangning Coalfield is open-pit mining, and relatively speaking, the casualties are relatively small.

"My lord, we have no choice but to do it!"

Liang Kai, the chief manager of Shixi Iron Mine, was holding a strip of bamboo in his hand, his face full of embarrassment.

Just now an official slave was lazily hiding in a corner, and was discovered by Liang Kai who was patrolling on the high slope. Without a word, he rushed down from the top of the slope, waved the bamboo strips in his hand, and beat the official slave to the ground. Rolling all over the ground, crying endlessly.The workers passing by just glanced at the unlucky guy who was beaten bloody and begging for mercy, but he didn't dare to stop at all, and slowly moved up the slope one by one with huge bamboo baskets on his back. .

Beating people is also a very exhausting thing, Liang Kai put down the strip in his hand, and called several supervisors to drag the official slave away.

"Give him some medicine, and come back to work! If you can't finish today's lottery, don't let him eat dinner!"

The sign is a common name for the workload of the workers in the mine, because these laborers in charge of transportation transport a basket of ore from the mine pit to the sorting plant, and the foremen and supervisors of the sorting plant will issue them a sign as a certificate, which is about a few round trips per day. A number of sticks will be received every time, and the workload will be calculated with the sticks.Those who fail to complete the daily number of lottery tickets will be punished.

After finishing all this, Liang Kai suddenly felt a little strange. He turned his head and found that a group of people led by Li Shouhan, including his immediate boss and several bosses of the Han Yuan Company, were standing behind him at some time, quietly. After watching the process of him dealing with this official slave.

Shou Han's eyes stayed on Liang Kai's body and the strip in his hand for a moment, the expression in his dark pupils made Liang Kai feel a little hairy, and after a while, he finally spoke.

"It is right to strictly manage and supervise the production process."

As soon as these words were uttered, all the people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.We all know that this lord attaches great importance to people, and often has some unexpected new ways of doing things that everyone is used to. For example, he proposed to let the laborers have enough food to eat, not only to eat but also to have a certain amount of oil and water, even if they are official slaves It is also necessary to give a little monthly money as pocket money and other scandalous practices.However, the overseer whipping the lazy official slave workers was a last resort. Not only the official slaves, but also those native laborers who came to the mine to find work by themselves would hide aside to be lazy if they didn't pay attention, and then when it was time to eat Time ran out from the corner to eat and drink.With Shou Han's words, the supervisors are full of confidence!

"Lead the way. I'll go to the mining place to see!"

Giving Liang Kai a reassurance, Shou Han motioned him to lead the way to see the mining site.

"My lord! The rocks are flying around in the mining area, and the blastholes are densely covered. My lord is a body of gold, so you must not venture there!"

When I heard that Shouhan was going to the mining site, everyone from Liang Kai to Lin Huofeng objected with one voice.

In the past, the mining of iron ore mainly used the underground mining method of flat tunnels and inclined shafts, and workers went to the deep tunnels to dig.However, today's mining methods have changed a lot.From underground mining to open-pit mining.

With Shou Han's words, the supervisors are full of confidence!

"Lead the way. I'll go to the mining place to see!"

Giving Liang Kai a reassurance, Shou Han motioned him to lead the way to see the mining site.

"My lord! The rocks are flying around in the mining area, and the blastholes are densely covered. My lord is a body of gold, so you must not venture there!"

When I heard that Shouhan was going to the mining site, everyone from Liang Kai to Lin Huofeng objected with one voice.

In the past, the mining of iron ore mainly used the underground mining method of flat tunnels and inclined shafts, and workers went to the deep tunnels to dig.However, today's mining methods have changed a lot.From underground mining to open-pit mining.

With the help of gunpowder, the right-hand man, the stripping process of wide-step and slow-help operations has completely replaced the underground mining method.But it also brought a lot of gunpowder consumption. However, when a blast hole exploded, a piece of iron ore was collapsed from the rock, and then the laborers in charge of transportation were carrying bamboo baskets and baskets, emitting smoke and dust. Rushing into the blasting site that was still smelling of gunpowder smoke, he quickly packed large and small ores into the back basket, turned around and went to the sorting field.

"I won't go to the front line, just go to the road to see if it's okay?"

With so many pleadings, Shou Han naturally couldn't refute everyone's face, so he proposed a compromise solution.

A group of people meandered down the ramp.Of course, along the way, someone ordered the accompanying soldiers and the mine guard team to drive all the workers aside to make way for the Lord.

Walking all the way, you can only hear the sound of drilling and firing from a distance, and you can only see waves of smoke and dust billowing, and there is extremely noisy floating soil under your feet, which makes people cough uncontrollably.The dust from the blasting of the mountain, and the sweaty smell of the laborers who moved like ants, made the place full of breathless smells.Looking at the ridge in the distance, there is no vegetation. Looking down, the slopes lead straight to the mine in the distance. The Buddha here is a huge wound, lying on the ground.

And those official slaves who are obviously underage, squatting or sitting, are nervously sorting ore, and there is no expression related to their age on their faces. Such a scene makes the guard feel a huge sense of guilt .He suddenly remembered a movie he had seen before, which was about the plundering of Latin American countries by Western consortiums. The long shot of a mine in it was exactly the same as what he saw, except that the time and place were different.

Plunder, naked slavery and plunder!The conscience in Shou Han's heart that has not been completely eaten by dogs let out a burst of righteous cries, but another voice jumped out to refute him discordantly, "Bullshit plunder and slavery, in other places, these people It’s not as good as it is now! In other places, where can they have enough oil and water and enough white rice? Besides, instead of letting the resources here be buried in the ground for nothing, let those white-skinned pigs mine them , let the Chinese nation suffer hundreds of years of sinking and humiliation, it is better for me to mine it now and use it to build our industrial system!"

The conscience of justice is not willing to show weakness, "You only know your own guy! We want to pursue all human beings, and we must pursue universal values!"

"Slap!" A loud slap came, "I hit you, you can't fight back, because if you fight back, you violate your universal values!"

The discordant voice was triumphant.

The accompanying people naturally didn't know the struggle in Shou Han's heart, they just followed Liang Kai's lead all the way, and when they arrived at a mining site where gunpowder had just been shot, they saw a large group of laborers busy there with hands and feet. Without stopping, several supervisors covered their mouths and noses with masks, and kept yelling, "Be careful, don't let the rocks on the top fall and hit your dog's head!" Next to the pile of iron ore, just pick the large pieces of ore and throw them into the basket on your back.Seeing that the outfit is almost done, and after estimating how much he can carry, he picked up the backpack and walked up the ramp in the direction of the crowd.

According to the different status of the laborers, the turbans are also divided into three colors.The official slaves, mainly composed of prisoners of war, wear red turbans on their heads, and the native laborers wear turbans that can no longer be seen on their heads, while those free laborers who come to work by themselves are uniformly white. scarf.No matter what color the turban is, people without exception will firmly pin the sign representing the workload inside the turban to prevent it from being lost.

Under the huge cloud of dust, all the people in the mine turned into "gray men" without exception. Each laborer, half naked, carried a basket and passed by Shou Han and the others. A gray figure remained in people's sight.Occasionally, when someone passed by Shou Han, he would grin at him, and only the exposed teeth could be vaguely seen to be white.

"Go back to the mine and allocate some money to build a few shower rooms next to the work sheds. Let people have a place to wash after work, so as not to be too dirty!" I was a bit smoky by the strong sweaty smell of the workers. Dizzy, Shou Han finally realized that it seems that these workers should have a place to take a bath, otherwise, in such a labor-intensive enterprise, if the cleanliness is not paid attention to, it is easy to cause the spread of infectious diseases.

After finishing the Shixi Iron Mine hastily, Shou Han took Lin Huofeng and other high-level executives of the Han Yuan Company back to the office of the Iron Mine.Compared with the dusty and smoky mining site, this place is no less than a paradise.

"Liang Kai. Tell me, the number of workers you employ here, how much iron ore you can produce every day, can you guarantee that [-] tons of fine ore will be sent to the steel factory every three days?"

Liang Kai was a little excited, just kidding!Just after the Tianqi plan to produce [-] tons of steel in seven years was made, the lord took a group of big bosses to Shixi Iron Mine to supervise and inspect.

"My lord, right now the mine is divided into five pits. Each pit has about 700 official slaves and about 1000 native laborers. There are about a hundred people who come to the mine to find money every day. Add up, there are about [-] people. There are more than [-] people in the five pits, and there are more than [-] people including the masters who drilled holes and fired cannons, the miners who guarded the mines, and the mine supervisors."

Casualties often occur in mines, so the number of people is also fluctuating, and the guard is well aware of this.

"You don't need to be so precise about the number of people. You just need to tell me whether these numbers can be completed, or what conditions are required to complete them?"

Gritting his teeth, Liang Kai decided to speak.

"My lord, if you give me enough gunpowder and transport capacity, say [-] tons in three days, or [-] tons in a day, my subordinates can do it!"

"There is plenty of gunpowder! If you want as much as you want, you can submit a letter to the company, and the company will go to the military room to discuss the purchase, but the problem of transportation capacity is very difficult!"

Before Shou Han could speak, Lin Huofeng frowned. He was in charge of the affairs of the Hanyuan firm, so he naturally knew the production situation in various places.

Factories, mines, forestry farms, and shipyards all over the country are complaining and demanding more manpower or transportation capacity to solve the problem of connecting all links in production. There is no way, and the goods cannot flow smoothly, which is a big problem. trouble.

The biggest problem plaguing inland areas right now is the lack of animal power for transportation. The prices of mules, horses, and donkeys have skyrocketed all the way, even to the point where there is no market for the price!In order to alleviate the contradiction of insufficient transport capacity, some people even came up with the idea of ​​buffalo, but this guy walked a bit slower than mules and horses!

"You first formulate a production plan, first mine the ore according to the requirements, and then consider the issue of transportation." Shouhan also feels very scratchy about such things, but he can only eat sugarcane bit by bit. .

"My lord, what do you mean?" Liang Kai's eyes lit up a little, "This subordinate will make a plan, first go and bring him back with a thousand stones of gunpowder, let the master who drilled the eye and fired the cannon rush to work overnight, fire a few more cannons, and then let those The slackers carry an extra one hundred catties every day, so that the ore that the Lord wants will be piled up in the stockyard, and then we will find a way to transport it!"

well!Enterprise production management and organization is also a science!To maximize efficiency, to squeeze out all the productivity of everyone, this is definitely knowledge!

Seeing that the sun was heading towards the west, and seeing that Shou Han was also a little depressed, everyone proposed to go back to the house, so as to avoid any accidents due to slippery roads in the middle of the night.

Halfway through the journey, Shou Han suddenly reined in the horse's head, "Where is that place over there?"

In the distance, in the twilight mist, a faint red light flickered, and bursts of fireworks came.

"Report to my lord, that is the coking pool of the coking plant!" Someone replied.

"Go! Go and have a look!" Shou Han whipped the horse under his crotch, and headed towards the coking plant first.Lin Huofeng on the side was so startled that he hurriedly sent someone to take a shortcut to the coking plant to make some arrangements and say hello.

At present, coke is already a necessary fuel for steelmaking and ironmaking in Nanzhong Iron and Steel Works. A large amount of coke is consumed every year to smelt one furnace of steel.Fortunately, the Guangning Coalfield has now been captured by the South China Army. There is a large amount of high-quality anthracite mined in the open pit, which is very convenient to burn coke, which greatly reduces the smelting cost of the South China Army.Moreover, the tar and other substances produced after coking are processed by secondary fractionation, and they are also raw materials for dyes and weapons.

After walking not far, we entered the boundary of the coking plant, where the directors of the coking plant had already heard the news and came to welcome them.After asking a few words, Shou Han asked them to lead the way to the area of ​​the coking pool.

The coking pool in front of everyone is a rectangular coking pool. The bottom of the furnace is slightly higher than the ground, paved with bricks, surrounded by earth walls, the foot of the wall is about one foot deep, the wall is three feet high and one foot and four inches thick.The furnace is eight feet wide and five feet long.The fire gates are built symmetrically, and the distance between the fire gates is about three feet.The shape of the fire door is square on the outside and round on the inside, big on the outside and small on the inside.

These coke pools are dotted with flames and white smoke near and far.Coal is mined from Guangning and other places, and the coal that is suitable for coking is selected after screening. After being transported here, it will be fired.The coking time is three days, and the coking rate is more than [-]%. (In the words of the coking master who works here, I guarantee that [-] catties of coal will produce [-] catties of coke! Hehe, it seems that the charcoal field in the railway guerrillas who never put down their books when they were young is also the same This coke output rate!) There are ten coke pools, each of which can coke [-] tons at a time.

"Please rest assured, my lord, as long as we have coal here, we will definitely not let a few blast furnaces lack fuel."

The fat supervisor of the coking plant patted his chest to reassure Shou Han.

On the third day when Shouhan inspected the Shixi Iron Mine, Lei Mingsheng took the people from the construction factory to survey the terrain on the mine, and built a mine that could accommodate hundreds of miners at the same time. A large shower room where people take a shower.At the same time, in the shed area, garbage pools and public toilets were also built one by one.

"My lord is very generous to us. When you do things, you must do your best. Those lazy officials, slaves, and natives who dare to pick up slippery foreheads, first hang them up and draw fifty sticks! Then send one to the villages everywhere." The announcement goes on, whichever village has more lazy workers, no one from that village will come to work in my mine!"

After Liang Kai announced that the daily workload of each official slave and native laborer had increased by one hundred catties, he yelled at his supervisors with a dark face.

"grown ups!"

A small overseer raised his hand.

"Speak and fart!"

"My lord, night shifts are working everywhere now, should we also open them? I heard that several factories have bought calcium carbide lamps and hung them on high places to illuminate them. Haha, if you want to make more money at night, Just come and do things. Can we do it too?" <Qiu Dameng? !Can we do this job at night?Eye shot at night?Isn't it that old birthday stars eat arsenic and feel that their lives are long? "The colleagues on the side were a little disapproving.

"You guys are farting! What I'm talking about is drilling more holes during the day and transporting the ore at night!"

"Oh! He Laoliu, what you guys said makes sense. Light a few more lights at night, no matter whether it is an official slave or a native, as long as you go down to the mine to carry a basket, you will be given a hundred catties. Qian, I will write a post for the shopkeeper!"

Continue to ask for recommendation and collection evaluation tickets.
