Chapter 153: Public Toilets and Artificial Nitrate
After the preliminary plan is set, Xia Nan and Lin Weiye will decide on the specific plan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Neither of them studied civil engineering, nor did they know how to plan architecture, but now they can only build three- to four-story buildings, which are too high to be built, and there are not many municipal facilities except for sewers and other ditches, and there is no need to consider the coordination between environmental protection and industry.
Lam made only one new suggestion, which is to ensure that there are enough public toilets.
Xia Nan has no objection to this: "Building public toilets can keep the streets clean, this can be done." ”
"The meaning is not limited to this, there is also military use and combat readiness."
Xia Nan was dumbfounded: "The toilet can be related to military combat readiness, are you sure you are serious?" ”
Lin Weiye explained: "Do you remember when I told you that among the ingredients of black powder, nitrate is the most difficult to obtain? Under extreme conditions, you can only scrape the miscanthus nitrate from the corner of the old toilet, but the amount of nitrate obtained by this method is too small to be practical. Now we have the Salt Cave of Chopping Foot Mountain, which contains an associated saltpeter mine that can last for a while. However, after the number of troops expands in the future, it will not last too long to rely on this hole, so the long-term plan is to use the method of enrichment. ”
"So, you want to collect the excrement of the people?"
"Yes. Once there is a stable source of raw materials, nitrate can be obtained by artificial nitrate enrichment. Moist, fluffy, sand-containing soil is suitable for the growth of fire nitrate, every thousand catties of such wet soil, add 100 catties to 150 catties of urine or thin manure and mix well, put it in a humid place to ferment, the temperature is best 26 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees, after more than 20 days to become nitrate, you can get fire nitrate. About 1,000 catties of artificial nitrate can receive 8 or 9 catties of fire nitrate, and the labor used is very small. The resulting nitrate is much more stable and larger than scraping corners, and is more reliable than unsustainable associated saltpeter mines. ”
Now that the public toilets have been elevated to a strategic location, Xia Nan will not object, and the public toilets have been included in the planning as a necessary building.
It is said that white paper is easy to paint, and the outside of Lingao County is full of open wasteland, sparsely populated, and there is no problem to get it any way.
In the summer, the south is planned in the north-south direction and the east-west direction, one vertical and one horizontal, and the area near Bofu Port is positioned as an industrial and trade area, aiming to take advantage of the transportation convenience of the port and the hydraulic advantages of the Wenlan River.
Of course, the drainage system of the entire new city is re-planned and constructed, and in the summer, Nan does not want waterlogging to occur in a heavy rain, and the capital of the old time and space often has a once-in-a-century rainstorm and waterlogging package, but he has tasted enough, and after crossing back to the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't want to encounter such an unlucky thing again.
However, such a large project is obviously not something that Tan Er can control, he can only be responsible for specific civil engineering, and he must appoint someone to take the lead.
In the hands of the existing people, Xia Nan himself can't take care of the overall work, plus he is about to go to Shandong, obviously he can't personally take care of Lin Weiye's school and technology issues, and he can't get rid of other people, Sima De is good at strategy, Tan Shan only has the ability to manage the tenant field, and the rest are either women or can only dance knives and guns.
Excluded and excluded, Xia Nan thought of Liu Quan, this person has a flexible mind, meticulous thinking, and a certain business acumen, and he may be able to train into a business elite in the old time and space.
He found Liu Quan and wanted to hand over the matter of presiding over the construction of the new city to him. Liu Quan thought it was a temptation, and knelt down and kowtowed.
"The little talent is limited, and he can't be trusted like the master."
Xia Nan soothed: "You don't have to be presumptuous, I have already drawn the drawings, you can do it according to the drawings, Tan Er will cooperate with you, and he will be responsible for the construction." If you need any manpower, you will come to me, and if you have any difficulties, you will report to me directly. ”
Liu Quan knelt on the ground and stretched out his head to look at the drawings, and he had a bottom in his heart, which was nothing more than to open up two major roads, building factories in the east and living in the west.
He thought about it in his heart and asked: "Dare to ask the master, how to build it is not difficult, but what if you build a road or build a house and the head of the house is in front of you?" ”
Xia Nan thought for a while: "What you are talking about are the residents who affect our planning, this is easy to do, carve out a piece of land in the residential area of the western district, build a resettlement community, and move here in a unified manner." "Demolition, resettlement and compensation have very rich practical experience in the old time and space, and they can be copied.
"What if there is a field in the area that you don't want to relocate?"
"Formulate a standard, unify compensation, and calculate according to the area of the acre."
"What if you don't want to accept compensation and insist on not moving?"
Xia Nan smiled, Liu Quan was really thoughtful, he had never experienced demolition and could think of nail households, and he was a manufacturable material. This question was a thorny problem in the old time and space when the legal system was sound, but it is not a problem at all in this time and space.
He waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Give some hard money, let the people of the yamen come forward to be wicked and forcibly demolished!" ”
Speaking of the yamen, Liu Quan asked out of caution: "To what extent are the county seat and the yamen preserved?" ”
"The county government should be retained, the county seat should not be moved for the time being, and then it will be moved when the progress of the project is almost completed, and even the city wall will be demolished."
After setting the direction and having authorization, Liu Quan happily responded to the errand: "The villain must do his best to do this errand for the master." "Gear up and take the order.
In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the vigorous construction project of Lingao New City kicked off.
The construction of the eastern area is relatively simple, except for the various factories in the south of the summer, which are sparsely populated, mainly because of the large amount of road construction work.
Liu Quan and Tan Er recruited a lot of small workers from the county seat and the countryside, who were responsible for leveling the roads, carrying sand and soil, eating and drinking, and earning 200 wen a day, one day a day. This price is quite high, attracting many young people to come to work.
Because there are many people working and there are not so many cooks to cook, Xia Nan pointed out a way, the food is out by himself, and the work of cooking and cooking is contracted out, and every ten people have three meals a day for 500 Wenbao.
Anyway, many of the people's families have grown small vegetables, and the vegetables picked from their own vegetable fields do not need any capital, and they do not need to use their own rations.
Many aunts, aunts and daughters-in-law flocked to make this temporary big pot rice cook. For a time, the construction site between Bofu and Ma Yuan was very lively, and there was an endless stream of young people carrying their shoulders every day, and smoke curled everywhere on the roadside. To be continued.
