Zhang Mao always moves very quickly. Of course, as the Duke of the country, he is naturally the best informed and can always make plans one step ahead.
Within a few days, the imperial court officially announced the cement and cement production methods to the entire Ming Dynasty and the thirteen provinces in the form of a newspaper, advocating the establishment of cement factories and the construction of cities and roads throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Immediately, the news about cement quickly swept the entire Ming Dynasty. Suddenly, there was a craze for setting up cement factories in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. The hottest area was naturally the Beijing-Tianjin area.
People here in the Beijing-Tianjin area are the first to see the power of cement. The cement roads between Beijing and Tianjin are busy with traffic every day. The spacious and flat cement roads greatly facilitate the travel between Tianjin and Beijing.
The influence of the first cement road in the Ming Dynasty is unparalleled. There are too many people in the Beijing and Tianjin areas who go to the cement road from remote areas just to join in the fun and take a look at this magical cement road. above.
¡°In addition, as the imperial court confiscated the food of many profiteers and began to carry out disaster relief in a very orderly manner, the victims who had originally gathered in the Beijing and Tianjin areas also began to return to their original villages one after another.
After all, it¡¯s almost the busy farming season. The winter wheat harvest has stopped, but we can¡¯t put down the cultivation of spring wheat, otherwise we will starve again in winter.
Tens of thousands of disaster victims have seen this magical cement road with their own eyes. Many of them even personally participated in the construction of this cement road and personally felt the magic and power of cement. This came naturally after returning to their hometowns. It is indispensable to talk to people from the same hometown and village.
In the past, many people were inquiring about how to make cement. A large number of businessmen came to Tianjin to buy cement, and they also wanted to use cement to build flat and open roads, build houses, etc.
Now that the imperial court has officially announced the cement production method, it also encourages everyone to set up cement factories. Powerful businessmen, gentry, landlords, etc. in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area naturally responded positively.
Beijing.
The two living treasures of the Zhang brothers have always been unwilling to get up early when there is no profit. They have also seen the magic of this cement. They know the importance of this cement and know that the supply of this cement will exceed demand in the future.
Therefore, like Zhang Mao, the Zhang brothers, who had received the news early, immediately hurriedly prepared the Zhang's Cement Factory. The location was still located next to the original Zhang's Coal Industry, and began to recruit large-scale manpower to build a rotary kiln. , purchase raw materials and prepare to bake cement.
Naturally, Changning Bo Zhou Yu was not to be outdone. As soon as the news came out, he also roped in some well-connected relatives and relatives of the emperor to establish the Zhou Cement Factory. The location was also located near Zhou's Coal Industry. In an emergency, He hurriedly began to look for raw materials and prepared to bake cement according to the production method announced by Zhuan Bao.
Because the imperial court encouraged the establishment of a cement factory this time, there were not only the Zhang brothers, Chang Ningbo, Zhang Mao, and other royal relatives and wealthy families, but also many businessmen here in the capital, landlords, gentry, etc. around the capital. They also started to set up cement factories one after another.
In areas such as Xishan and Yanshan around the capital, cement factories began to be established one after another. The rich and powerful people in the capital were basically talking about setting up cement factories.
What raw materials are needed, how to burn the cement, how to grind it, how to store it, how to use it, the capital is short of manpower, it is very difficult to recruit workers, workers¡¯ wages have gone up, etc. This is the most discussed topic now.
Cement is an artifact that everyone has seen. The cement road leading to Tianjin has now been officially opened to traffic. Everyone has experienced its convenience and benefits on this cement road.
Moreover, people here in the capital are very well-informed. They know that the imperial court will purchase cement on a large scale in the future to build the Great Wall and passes in the border towns. At the same time, they also plan to build large-scale cement on the basis of the original official roads of the Ming Dynasty. Roads, this means that the demand for cement will be huge in the future, and the market prospects are very good.
Naturally, everyone is interested in this deal.
Throughout the capital, in just a few days, hundreds of cement factories, large and small, were established, and almost all the wealthy families in the capital were involved.
There are hundreds of cement factories, which require huge amounts of raw materials and a very large number of workers. Suddenly, the production of cement-related materials has begun to rise.
Some smart businessmen quickly saw the business opportunities and turned around to mine the limestone needed to make cement.Limestone is the main raw material for making cement, and the market demand is very strong.
With the establishment of a large number of cement factories, people here in the capital soon discovered that it was easier to make money.
Hundreds of cement plants, large and small, need people, and the related limestone mining also needs people, plus other related industries derived from it, etc. The entire cement industry needs too many workers. The streets and alleys of the capital are everywhere. They are all the shouts of cement factories recruiting people.
This bustling scene covered up the gloom that had just come over a few days ago, making people quickly forget about the dozens of ministers who were arrested. After all, big things are not as important as making money.
Tianjin.
As the place where cement first appeared, people gathered here in Tianjin are naturally familiar with it. The Tianjin Port, Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Maritime College, and Tianjin Cement Factory, the places where Liu Jin operates, have now become Tianjin is the busiest and a must-go place.
If anyone passes through Tianjin, he must go to Tianjin Port to see the grand scene of the fishing boats returning to the port. Boats of fish and various seafood make the whole Tianjin full of fishy smell and piles of fish. The scene was like a hill, and it was a scene that countless people would never forget.
In addition, the piers, ports, lighthouses, buildings, etc. here at Tianjin Port are all built with cement. They are very neat, grand, and majestic. Especially here at Tianjin Port, there is also a huge site paved with cement, which is bound to be indispensable. You have to go up and step on it and take a look.
The Tianjin Shipyard next to it is a large-scale shipbuilding dock. New ships are launched every day. The huge shipyard building gives people a very strong sense of impact.
There is also a community for family members of the shipyard. The roads are also paved with cement. The new-style villa-style two-story bungalows form a beautiful contrast with the architecture of this era. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel more open and comfortable.
All of this is based on cement. Without cement, there would be nothing like this. Tianjin people know it very well, so as soon as the newspaper encouraging the establishment of cement plants came out, the entire Tianjin businessmen, gentry, etc. were excited. After getting up, we started to set up a cement factory in a decent manner, imitating the style of Tianjin Cement Factory.
¡¡
"Teacher, now more than a hundred cement plants have been built in Tianjin. If our Tianjin cement plant continues to expand production, will it be unable to sell in the future?"
Tong Yuan found Liu Jin and said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, no matter how large the output of cement is, we don't have to worry about it. There are only more than a hundred cement plants. With the scale of other cement plants, the output can be as large as it is, and it is not enough for road construction."
After hearing this, Liu Jin not only showed no displeasure on his face, but also smiled.
The output of cement in later generations was calculated in terms of tens of thousands of tons, and the demand has always been very huge. Whether it is building bridges, paving roads, or building houses and beams, it is indispensable. As the foundation of architecture, its The uses are really too broad.
The demand in Daming is also very strong. People who are used to walking on cement roads will definitely not be able to stand the mud of yellow mud roads. People who have lived in spacious houses will definitely not be able to stand the dampness and dimness of earthen houses.
Liu Jin believes that cement will soon be popular throughout the Ming Dynasty. By then, the demand for cement will only become larger and larger. The number of cement plants now may sound scary, but they are small in scale and have very limited output. It simply cannot meet the needs of the market.
Besides, even if there is competition in the market, how can Liu Jin be afraid of competing with others?
"If I have a mentor, I will feel relieved."
" Tong Yuan is becoming more and more convinced of Liu Jin's judgment. Since his teacher said there is no problem, then there is no problem.
"Has the second wave of ships to North Korea returned?"
Liu Jin smiled, then thought about it and asked.
"Not yet, but I think I will be back in the next few days."
Tong Yuan said carefully.
"Well, after they come back, it's almost time to set off for the Golden Continent. How are you preparing the things I asked you to prepare?"
Liu Jin nodded slightly and calculated the time. It was already May. These people were almost experienced. Now the famine has stabilized. The court has food in hand. The famine problem has been solved and there is no need for them to make up for it. fish, so it¡¯s almost time for them to set off for the Golden Continent.
¡°Everything is ready, except the quantity of dehydrated vegetables is not enough.¡±
Tong Yuan thought for a while and replied, Liu Jin asked him to prepare a lot of things, such as soybeans, bacon, rice, flour, etc. Needless to say.
In order to allow the fleet to reach Golden Continent smoothly, Liu Jin also invented a distiller that can evaporate seawater into fresh water. This distiller was also quite difficult to build.
In addition to the distiller, there are also dehydrated vegetables. This dehydrated vegetable is also to meet the crew's need for vitamin supplements. Without the technology of later generations, the output of this dehydrated vegetable is very limited, and there has not been enough prepared until now. quantity.
"Well, hurry up and do it. After they come back, they will have to reunite with their families for a while. There is still time."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction and said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Needless to say.
