Chapter 1431 Desert Metal Mine Development
On October 5th, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui walked towards Minmetals City with 200 fourth-rank camel riders after inspecting the Agricultural Research Institute and the Green Plant Research Institute in Shaliu City. go.
Since Liu Qianhui published the announcement in the "Isle of Change Weekly" in early August that Shaliu Houguo recruited mine owners and entrepreneurs to develop metal mines in the desert, Xinping almost ensured that every issue of "Isle of Change Weekly" included There is a special page for the Kingdom of Shaliu, which introduces some more specific conditions of the Kingdom of Shaliu, as well as the progress of investment promotion.
Although there are only 12 contracted mine owners and only 7 related entrepreneurs in the various metal mines in the desert area of Shaliuhou Kingdom, the steam train still brings a large number of mines from the holy land of Yidi territory every day. The mine owners and entrepreneurs who came to visit came to see Xirong City. In the future, there will still be more mine owners and entrepreneurs joining in the development of metal mines in desert areas. The urban agglomerations established by the owners and entrepreneurs themselves are worse.
As the lords of Yidi's territory and Shaliuhou's branch territory, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui went to Minkuang Town, Metal Town and Iron Mine Town to express condolences to the mine owners and entrepreneurs who came to develop, and to supervise the mining and production preparations. Infrastructure construction is also necessary.
Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui who rushed to Minmetals City did not immediately call the mine owners and entrepreneurs for a meeting, but wandered around in Minmetals City, even under the high temperature in the desert.
In fact, the manpower of Shaliuhou State deployed in Minmetals City was originally only 2,000 firearms soldiers and 30 intelligence personnel, plus at most 10 staff from the City Lord's Mansion, but now there are mine owners After moving in with the entrepreneurs, Liu Qianhui urgently transferred over 3,000 residents who had originally built the city in the Marquis of Shaliu.
Turning around, Qu Mao said to Liu Qianhui: "Liu Qianhui, in the current Minmetals City, green plants are basically still rare.
There are only one or two plants planted in flower pots, which may be taken out by mine owners or entrepreneurs to bask in the sun during the day. This kind of plant is more decorative than practical. "
Liu Qianhui said: "Qu Mao, don't be too anxious.
There are two metal mines in Minmetals City. After being contracted by the mine owners, these two metal mines are preparing for mining. Don’t you see that there are only a few skilled workers and construction personnel working?
At present, no one can take care of the livable renovation, and it will get better slowly. "
The temperature in the desert quickly rose to the point that it was not suitable for walking outdoors. Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui could only rush to the Minmetals City Lord's Mansion, convened a discussion with the mine owners and entrepreneurs, and asked them what difficulties they had and what they needed. How the territory of the Hou State can help them.
At the symposium at the Minmetals City Lord’s Mansion, Qu Mao originally wanted to understand the difficulties encountered by the mine owners and entrepreneurs in preparing for production, but the mine owners and entrepreneurs kept complaining to Qu Mao about Minmetals The **** temperature changes within the city walls.
When Qu Mao was a little embarrassed, Liu Qianhui leaned into Qu Mao's ear and whispered, "Don't pay attention to them, they just want us to continue to extend the discount period.
If it is really as bad as they say, it is impossible for them to sign a contract with the territory of the Marquis of Shaliu to develop this place. "
On October 6, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui came to Iron Ore City again. The situation in Iron Ore City was basically the same as that in Minmetals City.
Extreme weather in the desert appears more frequently in Minmetals City, Iron Ore City, and Metal City than in the towns built in the early days of the Marquis of Shaliu. Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui rushed from Minmetals City to Iron Ore City I encountered one on the way, but fortunately the experienced fourth-rank camel rider who accompanied me escaped.
On the evening of October 5th, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui lived in the Mansion of the Lord of Minmetals City, and the sandstorm blew all night.
Fortunately, the city lords of Iron Mine City, Minmetals City, and Metal City appointed by Liu Qianhui immediately raised the second-tier city walls to the third-tier city walls after taking office. There are 9-meter-high city walls to block them, and the sandstorm has no impact on the city walls. The damage is not great.
And the city lords of the three towns are arranging residents to be on duty to upgrade the city walls. They plan to upgrade all the city walls of these three towns to the fifth level. If there are 15-meter-high city walls, it is estimated that the sandstorm will not affect the protection range of the city walls.
Liu Qianhui did not stop the city owners of the three towns from doing so. After all, Minmetals City, Iron Mine City, and Metal City are far away from the other twelve towns. They are alone in the depths of the desert, and the walls are built higher to protect the soldiers and civilians in the cities Also fuller.
However, Qu Mao always believes that the livable transformation of these three towns ultimately comes down to the planting of green plants and the beginning of water storage in the reservoir.
On October 7th, the fourteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui overcame the extreme weather in the desert and came to Metal City covered in dust.
In Metal City, Qu Mao not only saw the same scene as Minmetals City and Iron Ore City, but was surprised to meet the technicians from the logistics department.
Qu Mao asked the technicians of the logistics department, and only then did he realize that Xuande was not joking with himself, but really wanted to move the production equipment and production capacity eliminated from Liandao New Military Industrial Park and Jidao New Military Industrial Park to Shaliuhou came to the country and produced early muskets and cannons for Fuzhi nearby.
The logistics department technicians that Qu Mao encountered in Metal City this time were the technicians sent by Xuande to investigate the construction of the new military industrial park.
These technicians not only have to inspect the supply of raw materials in Metal City, but also choose the site for the construction of the new military industrial park, and plan the time to start building the factory.
The supply of raw materials must wait until the mine owners and entrepreneurs have developed the metal mine to a certain extent, but the factory building can be built in advance.
After some exchanges, Qu Mao was a little worried that Xuande would build a seven-story reinforced concrete building within the protection area of the metal city wall as a factory building, which might be harassed by wind and sand.
After telling the technicians of the logistics department about this concern, the technicians of the logistics department turned their heads to comfort Qu Mao, saying that the logistics department will build a new military industrial park in Metal City, and it will take more than half a year to start production at the earliest.
With this time, the problem of the factory building being disturbed by wind and sand will definitely be solved.
