Chapter 215: Daming Road and Bridge and Water Transportation


In early March, when Operation Hanwu began, the roads from Xi'an to Yulin and from Yulin to Ordos began to be constructed at the same time.

By early April, the Ming army had captured Ordos, and the road built from Yulin had just reached the original border. .

At this time, He Tengjiao led a new Guards division here and began to help build the road.

These were drawn from the soldiers who originally guarded Shanhaiguan in western Liaoning.

After retraining in Gongji City, they were organized into four new divisions.

He Tengjiao was selected to study in the Martial Arts Hall during the reform of the Capital Health Institute, and was appointed division commander after graduation.

In addition to bringing a division to build roads, he also brought more than 5,000 Houjin people.

This group of Houjin people first carried out reclamation and leveling activities under the guidance of the Ministry of Agriculture, and then carried out labor reform in the construction of roads and railways.

Most of the Houjin people who have behaved well have been released, but a large part of these released Houjin people expressed their unwillingness to return to the deep mountains and forests of Hetuala to work as hunters, working on Daming Farms or building roads or something like that.

No problem either.

Yue Tuo was helpless about this situation, but during the construction of the mountain line, he also discovered that the Ming court did not specifically target the Jurchens.

At most, some Ming people did not like the Jurchens and sometimes made things a little difficult for them.

Yue Tuo I can also understand in my heart that compared to Nurhachi's behavior of slaughtering villages and cities at every turn, the people of Ming Dynasty are indeed much stronger.

Therefore, he also believed that those who were going to enter the Liaodong farm would not be mistreated, so he took some of them back to Hetuala.

Most of the Houjin people who were unwilling to return to Hetuala officially joined the Ming Dynasty.

They knew that the Ming people who built roads were paid, so after becoming Ming people, they settled their families on the land assigned to them by the imperial court.

Then he withdrew several months' wages in advance and entered the construction site of the G3 high-grade highway.

G3 was almost repaired, and they came to work on Xiyu Highway and Yu'e Highway.

The reason why Ming Dynasty allowed them to enter Shaanxi was because the conditions for joining Ming Dynasty were very strict.

First, the surname must be changed to a single surname of the Han nationality, such as Tong Jia's surname is Tong, Guar Jia's surname is Guan, and Ma Jia's surname is Ma.

Secondly, the braids must be cut off.

If you can do these two things and perform well during the labor reform process, you can join the Ming Dynasty.

There were more than 10,000 Houjin people who joined the Ming Dynasty, and there were 40,000 people including their families.

The Ming Dynasty scattered them among various farms in Liaodong, and the farms happened to send people.

However, these people were not good at farm work, and they were greedy.

The income from road construction is high, so most of them leave their family members on the farm to do some work that does not require much skill, while they go out to make money.

Nowadays, road construction has become a very popular job.

At first, the salary for skilled workers was 300 cash per day.

Later, the Ministry of Railways and the Highway Commission made adjustments.

The salary for skilled workers was 300 cash per day, and the salary for skilled workers was 200 cash per day. , one hundred cents a day for unskilled workers.

In this way, if a skilled worker works for a month, he can get 12 yuan.

After deducting 1 yuan for food and accommodation expenses, he can get 11 yuan.

Unskilled workers will become skilled workers as long as they have completed the three-month internship period. .

Calculating this way, you can get more than 100 yuan a year, which is more than 60 taels of original silver.

This is much more than earning from farming.

Although the imperial court stipulated that the naturalized nationalities who had just joined the Ming Dynasty could only receive 80% of the salary of the Ming Dynasty people in five years, this was already a rare wealth for the people of the Later Jin Dynasty, not to mention that they could eat well every day, and every three I can still eat meat every day.

When the army rebelled, even Niu Lu'e in the tribe couldn't do it even if he wanted to open up and eat white flour.

The G3 high-grade highway runs from Beijing to Xi'an, passing through Baoding, Shimen, Handan, Zhengzhou, and Luoyang.

Although the distance is long and the road conditions are complicated, with the help of explosives, the highway committee was well organized and it took more than two years to finally complete it.

This high-grade highway.

A bridge was built on the small river in the middle, but there was no way to build a bridge on the Yellow River, so ferries could only be used to communicate between the two sides.

Zhu Youxiao has ordered the research institute to test the use of steel and cement to build bridges.

The royal construction team has now been renamed the Ming Dynasty Royal Roads and Bridges Bureau.

Under the guidance of the research institute, the first steel and cement bridge in the Ming Dynasty was built on the Yongding River.

The bridge is 245 steps long and connects the city of Beijing with Jiafu Temple or Tanzhe Temple.

The institute has benefited a lot from the process of building this bridge and is ready to continue building bridges in various places and continue to accumulate experience.

Finally, it will be able to build a bridge with more than a thousand steps, so that bridges can be built on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

The Capital University Research Institute discovered large iron ore deposits in Anshan, Liaodong, Pingxingguan, Shanxi, Lan County, Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, Handan, Hebei, Huanggang, Huguang, Ji'an, Jiangxi, Lueyang, Shaanxi, and Panzhihua, Sichuan, and the Ordnance Bureau soon opened in these places.

A large ironworks.

The Ordnance Bureau used a new method to open a steel plant outside the capital.

The Ordnance Bureau was responsible for developing the technology and providing technological updates, accounting for 30% of the shares.

The remaining 70% will be held by businessmen from various places through negotiation, but a single company shall not hold more than 30% of the shares.

In this way, the Ordnance Bureau no longer has to worry about all management, and the Ordnance Bureau is responsible for purchasing the better quality pig iron and all steel, and the other iron is sold by the steel factory itself.

This model was proposed by Zhu Youxiao.

He always believed that a sentence from his previous life was very correct: property cannot be publicly owned and power cannot be privately owned.

The management of state-owned enterprises in his previous life was a mess and he also understood that, except for a very small number of resources that must be controlled by the state, other aspects can actually be left to the private sector to allow them to thrive.

Of course, steel involves weapons manufacturing, so supervision is still necessary.

The Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of War, Ministry of Railways, Dongchang, Jinyiwei and the Taxation Department jointly established a Steel Management Bureau to specifically manage the taxation and sales of steel produced by steel plants. , use and other aspects.

To ensure that steel does not flow into places where the court does not want to see it flow into.

Fang Yizhi and Zhu Zhiyu built a steamship that could reach a speed of 24 miles an hour, of course after using propellers.

Fang Yizhi believes that efforts can only be made to enhance the power efficiency of steam engines, and it is impossible to achieve much speed improvement in a short period of time.

He didn't want to waste time on ship research, so Zhu Zhiyu became the director of the Water Transportation Bureau.

He said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the ship speed of twenty-four miles can only be achieved without loading.

The student only wants to specialize in the study of ships, hoping to develop a ship that can reach thirty miles and forty miles after being loaded.

Ship, I also want to develop a ship with tens of thousands of materials that His Majesty said
