Chapter 760: Dangerous report

Shi Yunshan squeezed sweat in his palms when he saw the youth and officials in dragon robes walking towards the iron ore field. E┡Ω novel Ww "W. Ω1XIAOSHUO. COM
He used to be a member of the Qingzhou Minerals Department. He used to go north and south with Qian Dafu. When the court decided to establish a steel mill and an iron ore mine in Laiwu, he volunteered to come to Laiwu.
Because he was originally from Laiwu and was very familiar with it.
When he was nervous and at a loss, a group of people had already arrived in front of him.
Qian Dafu smiled and said to Xiao Ming: "The emperor, he is the Shiyun Mountain that the old slave often mentioned, and this Laiwu mine is his present."
On the way, Qian Dafu introduced Shiyun Mountain again. He looked up and down Shiyun Mountain, and he could see from Shi Yunshan's dull expression that he was an honest man.
"The lower officials see the emperor." After Qian Dafu introduced, Shi Yunshan saluted Xiao Ming.
"Free gift." Xiao Ming's interest is now all in the production of the mine, he said; "Qian Dafu said that you are smart and strong. I will see how you manage this iron ore this time?"
Shi Yunshan nodded, "The emperor, please follow the official."
After all, Shi Yunshan took Xiao Ming and a group of officials to the pit. The iron mine in Laiwu was surrounded by mountains and surrounded by low hills.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Xiao Ming looked at the mine. The originally flat ground has now formed a mine with a depth of five meters.
The scope of the pit is very large, about a thousand meters straight. At this time, more than 6,000 people were waving mining tools in the pit to chisel blocks of ore from the ore body.
"Emperor, it has been half a month since the mine was mined. Our mine has provided a total of 60,000 tons of ore to the iron and steel mill. On average, a craftsman has mined ten tons of ore." Shi Yunshan pointed to the sweating craftsman.
"Sixty thousand tons." Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction, and he took a piece of iron ore and looked at it.
This piece of iron ore is brown-red and belongs to hematite. Generally speaking, the iron content of hematite is 70%.
This 60,000 tons of hematite ore should be able to produce more than 40,000 tons of steel.
Shi Yunshan was afraid that Xiao Ming would dislike this output, so he said: "The emperor, mining iron ore is very hard. Sometimes it takes a long time for craftsmen to break a piece of ore with tools, and mining is very difficult."
"I understand, this 60,000 tons of ore is really not easy." Xiao Ming had a warm expression, and he saw Shi Yunshan's worries.
Shi Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to visit with Xiao Ming. When he walked along the side of the steam engine in the mine, he said excitedly, "The emperor, now this mine can produce so many ore thanks to the steam engine. With him, the craftsman directly Put the ore on the mine cart and use the steam engine to pull the mine cart up."
At this time, Xiao Ming and the officials saw the railroad tracks leading into the mine. The mine carts came and went on the rails, and the mine carts were full of ore.
This scene made Xiao Ming completely relieved. His main concern was the use of steam engines. Now that Dayu has entered the steam age, only relying on steam power can it leap forward.
After checking the use of the steam engine in the mine, Xiao Ming and Shi Yunshan went to the craftsman's living area.
Now there are red-brick houses standing in the desert where there is no one, like a settlement.
In modern times, many towns will be formed around mines. Xiao Ming will focus on building Laiwu into steel mills and mines. Because of these industries, this will also form a town that relies on steel mills and mines for survival.
After a brief look at the mine, Xiao Ming and everyone went to Laiwu Iron and Steel Workshop.
The iron and steel mills are now in full swing, and the iron ore that has been transported is turned into red molten steel, and then into various shapes of steel products.
The supervisor of Laiwu Iron and Steel Works is called Chang Fei. He used to be the technical backbone of Qingzhou Iron and Steel Works. He was sent here for this large-scale steel works.
After entering the steel mill, Chang Fei led everyone to see the six production lines in the workshop in detail. Now all five production lines are busy.
"The emperor, currently Laiwu Iron and Steel Works mainly produces rail parts, in addition to some farming equipment, daily steel supplies and other things. The six production lines have just been able to meet the orders." Chang Fei wiped his sweat and watched. The converter's eyes seemed to be looking at his own child.
The
hum
sound of the steam engine continues to sound in the steel workshop. The traditional steelmaking method saves a lot of labor due to the participation of the steam engine.
Xiao Ming looked at this modern steelmaking plant filled with various machinery with satisfaction. In his plan, Laiwu Iron and Steel Plant mainly produces civil steel products.
The Qingzhou Workshop and Kaiping Iron and Steel Workshop are mainly for the production of military steel, and only produce civilian goods if they are satisfied with the military.
The visit to Laiwu made him care about Qingzhou's steel production capacity. In his opinion, the Laiwu Steel Plant is enough to produce one million tons of steel a year.
The Kaiping Iron and Steel Works is estimated to be the same, and with the addition of Qingzhou Iron and Steel Works, the annual steel output of Da Yu should be 2.2 million tons.
This output has been able to explode the UK.
However, Dayu has a vast territory and a large population. If you calculate it carefully, he is still not as good as the United Kingdom on average.
Xiao Ming was not discouraged about this, the more the total amount was, the more he had this foundation, technically he had already passed the UK.
After inspecting the mine and Laiwu Iron and Steel Workshop, Xiao Ming rested in Laiwu for two days, and then rushed to Kaiping Iron and Steel Workshop.
As expected, the output of Kaiping Iron and Steel Works is half a catty compared to Laiwu.
In the next six months, while the barbarians were dying out, he visited other workshops required to be built by the reform ~ EbookFREE.me~ to gain a general understanding of the implementation of the reform.
Generally speaking, under the strong promotion of Pang Yukun and Fiji, the construction of the workshops is now smooth. Most of the workshops have been put into production now, and some will soon be put into production.
At that time, Dayu has formed an industrial chain centered on government-run workshops, and this chain will provide a steady stream of industrial products for Dayu.
And most importantly, the industry that has initially formed will provide resources for war.
After working hard for half a year, the time went from spring to autumn. In previous years, officials would be frightened at this moment when the autumn was high.
Because autumn is often the time when the barbarians are attacking the country of Great Yu, the barbarians are too quiet for the past six months, so Xiao Ming has been holding his heart, this calm made him a little uneasy.
This worry was fulfilled when he returned to Qingzhou from Dengzhou.
The barbarian cavalry suddenly bypassed the northern pass and appeared under Songzhou City from the direction of Tubo. In just one day, Songzhou City was conquered, and the barbarian army went straight to Yizhou.
