The construction of the Kazakh tent is proceeding in an orderly manner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Yang Meng took out a thing, this kind of thing, that is, cement.

Because of his selfishness, Yang Meng has his own views on the urbanization of the Kazakh Khanate, and he wants to build a privately owned fortified city, which can not only resist the attack of the enemy in the cold weapon era, but also have an advantage in the confrontation with the enemy with hot weapons and equipment.

There is no doubt that a city made of reinforced concrete is the strongest.

Although he doesn't understand the manufacturing method of cement, Yang Meng is still clear about the raw materials, isn't it limestone containing clay?

There is no technological equipment, but traditional kilns can still be built.

It is not easy to find limestone containing clay, and even more so in the territory of the Kazakh Khanate.

After more than a month of investigation and testing, Yang Meng finally discovered clay limestone in a place called Houhu.

Houhu Lake is a small lake with an area of about 2,000 square meters, and it is backed by Gulong Mountain, which has limestone suitable for firing cement.

Yang Meng immediately ordered people to open the mountain to take limestone, build a kiln on the spot, and calcine the cement.

Coal is used as a raw material, and the coal mine in Hangaishan has been produced in large quantities, and a large amount of raw coal has been sent to various places, and the Junggar Special Zone is being built in large quantities, so coal will be used here. Therefore, Yang Meng directly ordered people to go to the Junggar Special Region to ask for coal, and at the same time ordered people to transport it for a long time.

At the beginning, the temperature could not be controlled, and several kilns were burned out, but no clinker was burned.

Later, with experience, the kiln temperature was finally controlled at about 1400 degrees, and the clinker was finally fired.

Built together with the lime kiln, there is also a brick kiln, and it is much easier to burn bricks than lime.

After the materials were ready, Yang Meng first built a city that could accommodate 500,000 people in Alashankou.

This is the hub connecting Dzungaria and Kazakhstan, and it was built here as a base to radiate the two regions.

With the participation of tens of thousands of people, the outline of the city emerged two months later.

The thickness of the outer walls was controlled at 1 meter and was cast from bricks and reinforced concrete. This kind of city wall, cold weapons obviously don't want to shoot through, thermal weapons unless advanced cannons, ordinary flintlock guns also don't want to shoot through, this kind of specification, so that the city's security situation has been perfectly improved.

According to the topography of Alashankou, Yang Meng set the length of the city wall at 5,000 meters, the width of 2,000 meters, and the height of 20 meters.

There are artillery batteries on the city walls, and there are special openings for shooting, and if the enemy dares to attack Tiger City, he will definitely pay a heavy price, or even have no return.

The construction of the inner city was carried out completely in accordance with the ancient Chinese style of Xiangfang, with spacious streets in the middle. This kind of structure, which is easier to build, can also make the urban population more concentrated, and is also very helpful for the development of commerce.

The name of this new city, named Tiger City by Yang Meng, although it is only outlined, the scale of Tiger City already looks very powerful.

The construction of the Tiger City attracted a large number of people from the Kazakh Khanate and the Dzungar Khanate, which was undoubtedly the icing on the cake for the Tiger City, which had an urgent population need.

Yang Meng immediately registered these populations, giving them priority to become the first urban residents of Tiger City.

In order to better manage the city, Yang Meng appointed a Han man named Zhu Yong as the first lord of Tiger City. The current Kazakh Khanate is not yet the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Meng can have the final say, appoint the city lord, and Yang Meng has this right.

This Zhu Yong is a silk dealer, but he is very shrewd and capable.

After Yang Meng had been with him for a while, he immediately took him for his own use and let him serve as the first city lord for a term of three years, and after three years, if his political performance was outstanding, Yang Meng would continue to let him serve as the city lord. As for the structure team of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Meng directly asked Zhu Yong to prepare for the construction, and all the officials except for the city defense general were appointed by Zhu Yonglai.

Zhu Yong did not disappoint Yang Meng, he quickly built his own leadership team, Khazar was appointed by him as the deputy city lord, the two joined forces, the people of all ethnic groups were well managed, the registration work was very smooth, the management of temporary settlements, there were no major problems, and the initial operation of the city was carried out normally.

And the city defense general, Yang Meng ordered the family general to serve as the general, this loyal general, the ability is also outstanding, Yang Meng is very relieved of him.

The number of the city defense troops was controlled within 500 people, because of the well-equipped, the Tiger City guarded by these 500 people, and it was really difficult for the general army to attack it.

While building and living, the rhythm of Tiger City is still quite fast and comfortable.

All of a sudden, various industries such as construction, catering, animal husbandry, clothing, and even trading between men and women sprung up.

Zhu Yong set up the tax policy very well, and Yang Meng gave him some suggestions to set different tax policies according to different industries.

For example, in the conventional catering industry, the profit is low, and Yang Meng suggested that a fixed amount of tax should be levied every month, which is enough.

The trading industry between men and women is a bit of a no-brainer, and Yang Meng suggested that heavy taxes be levied. There is Yang Meng's purpose in this, this kind of industry, the less people participate, the better, after all, this is an industry that is easy to spread diseases and corrode people's minds. It's just that many men stay away from wives and concubines, and certain requirements also need to be met, and in the short term, this industry still can't be banned. This is still an industry that stabilizes the morale of the military and the hearts of the people, and an industry that makes people laugh and cry, with advantages and disadvantages, and can only be maintained now. However, the imposition of heavy taxes may make it difficult for the owners to retreat, after all, the owners have been charged heavy taxes, so it is natural to find it back from the customers, and the price will definitely be more expensive, so whether the business is prosperous or not, but I dare not be optimistic.

The City Lord's Mansion has income, and the expenses are normal.

The prosperity of the city is inseparable from everyone's contribution, and Tiger City is ushering in the beginning of an era.

-------------------------- dividing line----------------------------

Corresponding to the construction of the Tiger City, there is also the construction of the Junggar Special Zone, and the appointment of Li Guangdi and Ortai has put the construction of the Junggar Special Zone on the daily agenda.

After some field investigations, Li Guangdi built the capital of the Special Economic Zone in Urumqi, where there is the Luntai City left over from the Tang Dynasty, based on Luntai City, the scale of the city can be expanded outward, Li Guangdi's eyes are really good.

Li Guangdi also thought of using urbanization to change the living habits of the nomads, so after he came to Urumqi, he immediately began to build the city. However, he took his time, first expanding Luntai City.

However, Li Guangdi built the city according to traditional ideas, and he did not have such advanced ideas as Yang Meng, so he naturally did not think of using reinforced concrete to build a city.

However, the construction of the city still provided a large number of employment opportunities, and the city of Urumqi soon became lively.

The construction of the two cities is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

The pace of Yang Meng's expedition could not be stopped.

After the formation of the city defense force in Tiger City, Yang Meng left Tiger City, and his troops pointed directly at Galdan Tse Zero in the middle tent.
