Chapter 592 Building a Factory
"Dad, I found the address of the factory. It is in Qingfeng Mountain, a valley in Qingfeng Mountain. The valley is surrounded by mountains. There is only a narrow passage more than ten meters wide and more than 1000 meters long. As long as this narrow passage is blocked If you live here, you can protect the steel plant very well!

However, the area of ​​that valley is not small. I haven't explored it clearly yet, and I don't know the details. After I explore the environment in the valley clearly tomorrow, I can start construction!

Of course, in order to avoid people coming to find fault with the valley because it has no owner in the future, Dad, you should go to the lord's mansion first and buy the mountain land in the valley. It would be better for our Zhao family's private territory! "During the meal, Zhao Hu said to Zhao Kun.

"Oh, where is that valley? I'll go to the city lord's mansion tomorrow and buy that mountain land! Although Qingfeng Mountain is unowned, it belongs to the kingdom in theory. We want to be in the valley. To build a steel factory, we really need to buy that valley." Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Zhao Kun nodded slightly and said.

"Dad, when you go to the city lord's mansion tomorrow, give more money to the people who do the work, and finish the work early, otherwise, we won't be able to start work and build a factory!" Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Zhao Hu picked up a piece and liked to eat it. Put the braised pork in your mouth.

"Don't worry, I know what to do!" As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zhao Kun said with a smile on his face.

"Eat well, let's talk about something after eating!" Seeing Zhao Hu and Zhao Kun talking while eating, Zhang Cuihua frowned and said.

Hearing Zhang Cuihua's words, Zhao Hu smiled slightly, stopped talking, and went straight to eat.Anyway, what should be explained, he has already explained to Zhao Kun, there is nothing more to say!
In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Hu left the house early and galloped towards the location of Qingfeng Mountain, preparing to survey the valley in Qingfeng Mountain.

Not long after Zhao Hu went out, Zhao Kun also wore brocade clothes, took a box of silver, rode in a carriage, and galloped towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion in Andy City.

"I'm going to take a good look at this valley today!" Zhao Hu whispered to himself with a smile on his face when he came to the entrance of the valley.

Amidst a burst of murmurs to himself, Zhao Hu stepped forward and walked towards the valley.

The area of ​​the valley is very large, Zhao Hu has already walked around the valley before, and today he will survey the valley thoroughly, so Zhao Hu started to carefully browse every place in the valley from the entrance of the valley.

After the sky gradually dimmed, Zhao Hu just surveyed one-tenth of the valley. This is still under the condition that Zhao Hu's speed is not slow. If it is an ordinary person surveying, he can survey one-tenth of the valley at most in a day. The place.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Hu did not continue to investigate in the valley, but left the valley and walked towards the direction of Andy City.

Although the survey of the valley has not been completed, only ten percent of the area has been surveyed, which makes Zhao Hu very satisfied, because only the surveyed places in the middle and north of the valley can already build a small steel factory and various related facilities.

When Zhao Hu returned home, Zhao Kun had already returned home from the City Lord's Mansion, and successfully bought a large area of ​​mountain land, the valley is only a part of the large area of ​​mountain land.

Qingfeng Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, most of which are under the jurisdiction of Andy City. Although Qingfeng Mountain has beautiful scenery and rich forestry resources, it has no development value, and no one goes to Andy City to buy it.

Even if someone takes a fancy to a certain hilltop of Qingfeng Mountain, they will directly occupy it for development, and will not pay Andy City at all, because in the eyes of many, Qingfeng Mountain is an unowned thing, and if they want to occupy it directly, it is fine. There is no need to pay attention to the existence of Andy City.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Andy City will not care about those who occupy the mountains and develop them. They have no interest in the resources of Qingfeng Mountain. Some people are willing to spend money to buy some mountain land. Andy City is too lazy to investigate. Receive the money directly and issue a land deed for the lord's mansion.

Because Andy City didn't care about Qingfeng Mountain, Zhao Kun bought a large area of ​​mountain land from Andy City for only 1 taels of silver, covering a thousand square kilometers and more than 100 million mu, which was very cheap.

Of course, although the price is very cheap, Andy City doesn't care much, because although Qingfeng Mountain is legally owned by Andy City from the kingdom, it is actually an unowned property, and anyone who wants to occupy it can occupy it. Whoever has the ability to develop it will develop it. It is very cost-effective to exchange a thousand square kilometers of mountainous land for 1 taels of silver.

In fact, of the 1 taels that Zhao Kun spent, 900 taels fell into the hands of the staff of the City Lord's Mansion, and only the measly 100 taels of silver belonged to the City Lord's Mansion, which was Zhao Kun's land purchase money.

When Zhao Kun learned about this situation, Zhao Hu's eyes showed a look of astonishment, and then he smiled, put it aside, and began to ask Zhao Kun about purchasing construction materials and hiring workers.

Because Zhao Kun's purchase of building materials and hiring of workers has just begun, not only did not purchase enough building materials, but also did not recruit enough workers, so Zhao Hu asked Zhao Kun to continue purchasing building materials and recruiting workers, while he continued to go to the valley Among them, investigate the specific situation in the valley.

Time passed quickly like running water, and in the blink of an eye, a week passed.

In the past week, Zhao Hu has carefully surveyed the valley and is familiar with the environment in the valley. He divided the valley into eight areas, one of which is used as the site of the steel factory, and the other seven areas are temporarily sealed. Stay still and plan when you need to.

At the same time, in the past week, Zhao Kun has also purchased a large amount of construction materials, recruited more than 3000 workers, and can enter the valley to build a factory at any time.

After everything was ready, the establishment of the steel factory officially started. More than 3000 workers and a large amount of construction materials left Andy City in a mighty way, heading towards the place where Qingfeng Mountain is located.

Andy City is just a small town with a population of more than [-]. Zhao Kun's action of recruiting [-] workers at once is very conspicuous. When the [-] workers rushed to Qingfeng Mountain, the entire Andy City I know that the Zhao family is going to build a factory in Qingfeng Mountain.

The rise of the Zhao family occupied the agricultural tool market in Andy City and the surrounding villages and towns in one fell swoop, and offended many agricultural tool manufacturers. However, these agricultural tool manufacturers are not strong enough to have any impact on the Zhao family. For the great actions of the Zhao family, it is only He secretly cursed, hoping that the Zhao family would go bankrupt because of this huge action.

At the same time, the move of the Zhao family to monopolize the agricultural tool market in Andy City and surrounding villages and towns, and to enter the weapon market made the weapon suppliers in Andy City very vigilant.

Originally, because the quality of the weapons produced by the Zhao family was too poor to affect them, they did not pay close attention to them. Now that Zhao Hu has made such a big move, with the posture of wanting to do a big job, the three major members of Andy City Weapons suppliers are vigilant and have sent people to pay close attention.

Neither Zhao Hu nor Zhao Kun cared about the gazes of other people in Andy City, but rushed straight towards the valley with [-] workers and a large amount of construction materials.

In the past week, [-] workers recruited by the Zhao family have built a simple passage leading to the valley, so [-] workers and a large amount of construction materials easily entered the valley, and began to carry out various activities according to Zhao Hu's plan. The construction of the facility was completed.

According to Zhao Hu's plan, the iron and steel factory is mainly divided into four parts, the first part is the workshop of the steel factory, the second part is the residential area and commercial entertainment area of ​​the steel factory workers, the third part is the weapon production area, and the fourth part is the guard Team training ground!

The factory building of the steel factory is the place where steel is smelted. It has a large area, many buildings, and the most workers. Zhao Kun personally supervised the construction.The workers' residential area and commercial and entertainment area of ​​the steel factory are places where workers live, consume and entertain. The buildings are relatively simple, and only a few construction workers are needed to complete the work.

Future steel factory workers need to sign a lifetime contract with the Zhao family, serving the Zhao family for life, and within ten years, they are not allowed to leave the valley without the permission of the Zhao family.

Of course, in order to stabilize the emotions of the steel factory workers, Zhao Hu will give the steel factory workers far more wages than other workers in Andy City, and try to provide workers with enough various materials to improve the living standards of the steel factory workers.

The weapon production area can manufacture a large amount of armor and weapons and sell them to outsiders, earning enough money for the Zhao family. It is the most important source of income for the Zhao family, and it will only be the main industry of the Zhao family in the future.

Zhao Hu attaches great importance to the weapon production area. After the construction of the weapon production area is completed, he plans to build an industrial mother machine by himself, and use the industrial mother machine to manufacture a batch of machine tools. Use these machine tools to process various weapons and equipment, and improve the production of the weapon production area. efficiency.

Of course, all workers in the weapons production area must also sign a lifetime contract with the Zhao family to serve the Zhao family for life, and they are not allowed to leave the valley without the permission of the Zhao family within ten years.

The training ground of the guards, as the name suggests, is the place where the Zhao family used to train the guards, and it was also the place where the Zhao family raised their military strength.Once the iron and steel plant is on the right track, and the weapon production area produces a steady stream of high-quality weapons and sells them, the Zhao family will definitely be fat in the eyes of many members. At this time, the Zhao family's force is needed to deter the enemy.
