Infrastructure masters in the red building

"God bless me in Taoyuan Village, the weather is good, the catch is good!"

"Get off the net—"

Taoyuan Village.With a cry, the fishermen responsible for contracting various aquatic products in Qingfang River and Qingfang Lake began to fish with their nets.

Jia Fang led a team of staff from the Investment Promotion Office and the Planning Bureau to watch by the Qingfang River.

Just when the people in central Beijing saw rain boots made of rubber, the people in Taoyuanzhai had already used waterproof clothes and raincoats.

Especially the fishermen who go fishing in the river are all wearing one-piece "fisherman pants", standing on the waist-deep shoal, pulling the fishing nets together.The other end of the fishing net is tied to the fishing boat sailing towards the center of Qingfang Lake.

With the sound of "retracting the net", the fisherman on the boat propped up the penny and drove towards the shore with the net.At the same time, the fishing net was tightened on the shore, and when the bottom of the net surfaced, it was a scene of jubilation.

"Good catch!" Beside Jia Fang, the staff of the Investment Promotion Office applauded together.

Earlier, they instructed the fishermen to put some fish fry at the junction of Qingfang River and Qingfang Lake. After a year, these fish fry turned into yellow peppers about a foot long.The fishermen hurriedly scooped these yellow peppers out of the water with a fishing gear that looked like a big fence, and threw them into the water basins on the shore that were used to hold the catch.

This yellow spicy diced meat has always been known for its tenderness, and it has always been a perfect match with the local hot and sour fish pot in Taoyuan Village.

Once Jia Fang imagined the taste, he felt his cheeks sore, and his mouth naturally produced fluid.

However, a staff member of the China Merchants Office took an abacus with him and beat it, and calculated that half of today's catch could just be resold to the big kitchen of "Xiaoyuan", so that the "deficit" of Taoyuan Village could be reduced.

When the fishermen came ashore, Jia Fang hurriedly asked them: "How do you wear these fisherman's trousers? Are they leaking or stuffy?"

The fishermen laughed sincerely, and shook their heads together to answer Jia Fang: "There is no water leakage at all, so it will be boring naturally?"

It turns out that this kind of fisherman's trousers and even the rubber shoelace overalls are made of waterproof materials made of treated natural rubber coated on the fabric.Fishermen stand in the water and no longer worry about their skin being repeatedly soaked in water and ulcerated.The snails and the like that people have been worrying about before will no longer cause trouble.

It is said that in this time and space, rainproof cloth and waterproof cloth have also been made.People apply tung oil on cotton cloth, dry it repeatedly, and then apply it repeatedly. After the tung oil completely soaks the fabric fibers and then dries, they make "rain cloth", also called "oil cloth".Jia Fang used this material to rescue the books in the Xiaoxiang Library during thunderstorms, and its rain resistance and durability are relatively limited.

But now that Taoyuanzhai has the material of natural rubber, things are very different.Taoyuanzhai built a rubber product factory. In addition to the balls used in Cuju and various rubber tubes ordered by Zhang Youshi’s medical school, they also applied rubber to the fabric according to the method provided by Gui Yaxue to produce various products. Rubber boots, raincoats, and one-piece fisherman pants.

The waterproof effect is good, but it will naturally feel a little stuffy.The fishermen couldn't be more sincere and answered Jia Fang honestly.

After wearing this suit for a long time, the water vapor naturally produced by the human body will also be stuffed inside and cannot escape.Especially after sweating, you will feel wet and uncomfortable.

Therefore, the fishermen's method is to go ashore every hour to liberate people from the fisherman's pants so that they can breathe freely.

"Mr. Jia, this is much better than before! In the past, when we went into the water, we often knocked and bumped, and a piece of oily skin was broken, soaked in the water, and if we didn't keep it well, we got water poisoning, and abscesses developed, and we couldn't do it for several days. Live. Now I’m not afraid of these things, just bored for an hour, what are you afraid of?”

The well-meaning fishermen saw that Jia Fang had a strange expression, and quickly comforted him.

Unexpectedly, Jia Fang was not upset about this.He smiled and said: "Materials that are both breathable and waterproof will be made sooner or later. But since this is the case, we have to pay more attention to the design in the future."

Jia Fang then took care of the staff of the Investment Promotion Office who was responsible for the development of the rubber factory, reminding them that when designing raincoats, they can consider leaving more space for ventilation at the neckline and underarms, so as not to damage the user experience.

He took people from the Investment Promotion Office and the Planning Bureau to look around Qingfang Lake, and then went to survey the waterways in the lower reaches of Qingfang River.

Before the sun set, Jia Fang took the people back to the big office building, found a big conference table, and sat down to discuss matters.

Unexpectedly, Shui Xian came over first at this time, moved a chair beside Jia Fang, sat down and said, "Good news!"

"All kinds of rubber boots, rain boots and raincoats to be sent to Beijing, and the tax base of landing tax have also been fixed." Shui Xian smiled, "A very 'reasonable' price has been set."

"That's right—" the people from the Investment Promotion Office applauded together.They are purely happy for the facts stated by Shui Xian.

However, Jia Fang glanced at Shui Xian and knew why this guy was happy.

Earlier I heard that the third prince set the land tax, but disregarded fairness, secretly tampered with the formulation of the tax base, protected the interests of the wealthy merchants behind the third prince, and passed all the business taxes on to other small businessmen and small businessmen. on the manufacturer.

Monosodium glutamate, rubber shoes and raincoats are all products produced in Taoyuan Village.In addition to selling Taoyuanzhai in the surrounding areas of Wuyuan County, some of it was also handed over to Shuixian, who was responsible for distribution and charged transportation and sales fees.

Shui Xian then resorted to tricks, starting with the "monosodium glutamate" that no one else had seen before, and took advantage of the loopholes in the landing tax to trick the third prince and force him to reform the unreasonable policy in the collection of landing tax.

Unexpectedly, the third prince would rather hold his nose and suffer from being dumb than change the policy.

Shui Xian discussed with Jia Fang: This is even better.Since the third prince has confirmed the tax base approved when they landed for the first time, they will have countless new products waiting for the third prince.

If the third prince is willing to continue to suffer from being dumb, then these products of Taoyuan Village will continue to enjoy the preferential treatment of low commercial tax and marketing all over the world.

If the third prince is not willing to continue to suffer like this, then it is necessary to force him to treat everyone equally, so that some greedy businessmen can also leave some benefits for the country and the people of the world.

Now Jia Fang sees Shui Xian smiling happily, and secretly praises in his heart: Look, you are amazing.

"I heard that you have recently gone to the lower reaches of the Qingfang River to investigate. How about the results of the investigation? I'll join in the fun too?" Shui Xian said lazily, with his arms folded behind his head, and the whole person leaning on the back of the chair.

Since arriving in Taoyuan Village, Shui Xian has "brought out his nature". His previous temperament of living in isolation and rejecting people thousands of miles away has disappeared. Instead, he has become lazy, casual and shameless——Jia Fang often glances around when he is busy, or in a very serious meeting place, hey, why is there such a guy?

But this group of Shuixian immediately won the goodwill of the villagers in Taoyuan Village. Today, when Xiaoyuan and Taoyuan Village are more and more closely connected, this kind of favor is a plus for "Xiaoyuan".

Shui Xian still doesn't speak much, but every word is in the middle.Especially in the Investment Promotion Office, many young staff in Taoyuan Village are very convinced of him.

Jia let go of his face and looked at this lazy guy. There was nothing he could do about it, so he nodded and said to a young member of the Planning Bureau: "Xiao Pu, tell me."

The young man called "Xiao Pu" suddenly smiled shyly, took out two pictures prepared in advance, and hung them on the blackboard behind the conference table.

All the participants turned to look at the two maps, and saw that one was a map of the surrounding terrain of Taoyuan Village, and the other was very special. After looking at it for a long time, everyone realized that it was from the Qingfang River. To Qingfang Lake, and then to the cross-section of the terrain in the downstream area.

The Planning Bureau is very "young", a department that has just been established.In addition to "planning", this department also contracted a series of functions of topographical surveying and mapping.

After Jia Fang mobilized some elite soldiers from various departments to form this department, he did not forget to encourage these young people: "The next stage of Taoyuan Village is about to enter a period of stable development. There can no longer be projects that are started temporarily, so proper planning in advance will be the focus of our work."

In the past, Jia Fang was the only one responsible for planning. Now Jia Fang hopes to involve the villagers of Taoyuan Village. After all, they live here, and the future of Taoyuan Village belongs to them.

This young man named Pu Zuoqiao is a leader in the planning bureau. He is good at counting and measuring, has a strong ability to accept, and has a broad vision and thinking.Jia Fang therefore attached great importance to him.

Xiao Pu hung up the two pictures and began to explain them to everyone.

"This is Qingfang River, this is Qingfang Lake. Let me remind everyone again that this Qingfang Lake is a barrier lake formed by falling rocks when the 'Wangwu' and 'Taihang' collapsed. A natural dam, the newly formed Qingfang Lake..."

It was the first time that Shui Xian heard the story of the "Wangwu" and "Taihang" landslides in detail, and immediately sat upright, looking at the two pictures, and opened his eyes wide, showing an extremely focused appearance.

Jia put it aside and immediately found it very funny.Since he called the two mountains in Taoyuan Village "Wangwu" and "Taihang", the story of Yugong Yishan seems to have moved to Taoyuan Village, and even the natives of Taoyuan Village who have lived here for many years do not remember the original What are the names of these two mountains?

Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt that the hand hanging by his side was being held by someone.Jia Fang's sleeves were too long, just covering his hands, and also covering the opponent's hands.

Jia Fang felt Shui Xian's fingers draw three words on the palm of his hand: "No, Xu, laugh——"

Jia Fang: I really didn't laugh!

He turned his head to look at Shui Xian, but this man was still serious, listening attentively to the staff of the Planning Bureau.This guy was obviously distracted, but he pretended to be a good student, and seemed to be listening to the lecture seriously.

The key is... This guy really listened to it, and he can summarize and ask questions: "Xiao Pu, what you mean is that Qingfang Lake is not stable, so it is recommended to build the existing silt in Qingfang Lake. A dam to maintain the status quo of Qingfang Lake, isn’t it?”

Jia Fang: ...It's great to be able to do two things at once!While teasing people, he can listen to such complicated issues at the same time.

He himself felt a little itchy, obviously distracted, but luckily he knew everything Xiao Pu said in advance, so he didn't miss anything.

What Pu Zuoqiao is talking about now is exactly the problem that Taoyuanzhai faced when developing the Qingfang River Basin.

The waters of Qingfang River and Qingfang Lake have basically been developed.The water resources of Qingfang River are mainly used to drive equipment and drive production; Qingfang Lake is dedicated to aquaculture.

Therefore, Jia Fang and others set their sights on the lower reaches of Qingfang Lake, planning to build a small wharf here, making it the starting point for water transportation in Taoyuan Village.

Starting from Qingfang Wharf, after walking for about fifty miles, Qingfang River will merge into a big river.This river is a tributary of the Xijiang River and leads to Wuzhou. After joining the Xijiang River there, it can reach Guangzhou Port and go to sea there.

Therefore, Jia Fang's plan also includes building a dock, a wharf and a warehouse on a tributary of the Xijiang River.In this way, the goods transported from Taoyuanzhai can be temporarily stored in the warehouse, transferred to large ships, and transported to Wuzhou and Guangzhou, where they can be changed to sea ships to go to sea.

As for building a dock there, it is to build small steamers for inland waterway transportation.

Unexpectedly, before they finished surveying the Qingfang Wharf, they discovered the hidden dangers of Qingfang Lake.

If Qingfang Lake collapses, Qingfang River will return to its original state, and Qingfang Lake will cease to exist.The location of Qingfang Wharf may be able to move up to the vicinity of Qingfang City, but Taoyuan Village will lose an aquaculture base such as Qingfang Lake, as well as a natural reservoir that can store and regulate water.

Therefore, Jia Fang decided to build another dam outside the section where Qingfang Lake was blocked by falling rocks to block the incoming water from Qingfang River.

In addition, Jia Fang had another idea: there is a drop of more than ten meters between the surface of Qingfang Lake and the downstream. The potential energy of this water should not be wasted and can be used to generate electricity.

"Power generation?"

At the discussion meeting, the people from the Planning Bureau and the Investment Promotion Office were dumbfounded.There was even a young girl who took out a small mirror produced by "Xiaoyuan" from her bosom, held it up in her hand, and asked, "Is this what you mean?"

Of course Jia Fang knew that the girl was talking about "Electric Mother".The image of "Thunder God and Lightning Mother" in this time and space is similar to the one he saw in TV dramas when he was a child. Lei Gong holds a pair of copper hammers, and the Lightning Mother holds a pair of lightning mirrors. His face is serious, unlike the young girl in front of him. , with a look of doubt.

Jia Fang immediately nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's it."

The nature of hydroelectric power is exactly the same as that of lightning in nature.

But it's still too early to say.It is not convenient for him to explain in detail during the meeting.

"I just proposed a possibility for everyone. That is to say, if we really build a dam for Qingfang Lake, it will be of great benefit to us. In the future, it may bring us unexpected benefits. "

Everyone at the conference table looked at each other suspiciously, including Xiao Pu who was standing in front of the blackboard.

Only Shui Xian folded his hands behind his head again and lazily leaned against the back of the chair.For him, what Jia Fang said must be correct, and there is no doubt about it.

"Go on," Jia Fang smiled at Xiao Pu, "The rest will be announced to you when you, Teacher Gui Xia Xuegui, have a clue."

As soon as everyone heard that Gui Xiaxue would announce the details, everyone stopped worrying and turned to Xiao Pu to listen carefully to his continued explanation.

"In the lower reaches of the Qingfang River, the Planning Bureau's plan is to build a freight wharf. The problem we are facing now is that the location of the wharf is about four feet away from Taoyuan Village. And the distance between the two is far away. The suggestion is to build a track to solve the traffic problem in this section.”

Just like Qingfang Lake and the water surface downstream, there is also a considerable height difference between the locations of Taoyuan Village and Qingfang Wharf.So this road will be a steep road.According to the survey and mapping results of the Planning Bureau, the section with the steepest slope on this section of the road may have a slope of 7-8 degrees.

This slope does not sound like a big deal, but in actual construction, it is considered a very difficult natural condition.

Hearing the suggestion to build the track, the young people present all looked strange: "Aren't the tracks built on flat ground?"

"With such a steep track, even if a steam-powered locomotive is equipped on it, will it slip and the car will slip?"

"Shouldn't you use the front of the car when going downhill, just use the brakes..."

Everyone discussed enthusiastically, but Jia Fang was smiling and looking at Shui Xian.

Pu Zuoqiao realized something and quickly invited Shui Xian to speak.

Shui Xian suddenly smiled slightly: "Actually, Xiaoyuan already has a lot of experience in laying tracks on slopes..."

A circle of people sitting around the conference table immediately applauded Shui Xian: "Now we have a solution."

"Thank you for sharing the valuable experience of Xiaoyuan Industrial Park with us!"

Jia Fang: ...Why did no one applaud me when I shared my valuable experience?

Shui Xian then told Xiaoyuan's method - it turned out that their secret weapon was a track called cog railway and a specially configured locomotive.

The so-called cog railway is to place another cog in the ordinary track.The matching locomotive head is pre-installed with gears.These gears mesh with the racks to solve the problem of climbing.

This solution can completely solve the needs of Taoyuanzhai to build slope tracks, and even Taoyuanzhai does not need to solve it by itself-all the production of tracks and locomotives are handed over to Xiaoyuan Industrial Park to complete.Taoyuan Village only needs to complete the measurement and planning, and feed back the specific details to the craftsmen in the small garden.

When Xiaoyuan produces the suitable track and locomotive, and Taoyuanzhai purchases it and installs it, the track can be put into use immediately.

After Shuixian finished speaking, the young people applauded Shuixian together—the general direction of Taoyuan Village's series of developments on the Qingfang River Basin has been set.

At this time, the person from the Investment Promotion Office also let out a sigh of relief, and said: "My friends from the Planning Bureau have spent all this time for the sake of the commercial development of this village. We have raised some money today to thank everyone. We invited the chef from the cafeteria, everyone please enjoy the fish pot in red soup made by Huang La Ding tonight."

"Great!"

"Thank you thank you—"

When young people encounter such a thing, they will not be polite.In the evening, I happily went to the fish hot pot feast.

Jia Fang and Shui Xian were also invited, and they sat opposite each other, sharing a small pot to themselves.There are two fresh and plump diced yellow peppers in the pot, and the fish is delicate and tender, making it unforgettable.In addition, there are tofu, vermicelli, rice noodles, etc. for them to rinse with fish soup after eating fish-this is really similar to the hot and sour soup fish hot pot that Jia Fang is familiar with.

The young people from the two departments around me had a good meal, talked enthusiastically, and imagined the future of Taoyuan Village together.

But Shui Xian was putting fish in Jia Fang's bowl, and asked softly, "Why do you suddenly want to develop Qingfang River now?"

Jia Fang chuckled and said, "The technical conditions were not mature in the past, but now we have everything we need."

No, with the "Small Garden", his engineering infrastructure puzzle is complete. With reinforced concrete pouring technology, building a dam is no longer difficult for him. He can also consider designing some mixers, Construction machinery such as pile drivers.

Coupled with the cog railway mentioned by Shuixian today, Jia Fang can almost see the prosperity and development of the entire Qingfang River Basin.

Shui Xian withdrew his chopsticks, raised the water glass at hand, took a sip of water, and said with a smile, "I believe in your ghost."

Jia Fang immediately laughed happily: "In the end, you understand me. Now that I think about repairing these things, firstly, the conditions are ripe; secondly, the Grand View Garden is also being repaired at the same time..."

What he said was the truth. In the Grand View Garden, the scroll gave him two landscapes at the same time: "Liao Ting Hua Xu" and "Nong Ye Zhu".

"Liaoting Huaxu" itself is a stone port in the Grand View Garden, which is formed by stacking strange rocks, and there is a hole under it. The water system in the Grand View Garden flows out of the hole and merges into Qinfang River.

In Jia Fang's view, this means that a solid stone dam should be built in the lower reaches of the Qingfang River, so that the water of the Qingfang River can pour out from the outlet left by the stone dam.

Needless to say, "Xiangyezhu" is a ferry in itself.

Regarding how the Qingfang River Basin should be developed, the Grand View Garden gave a total of four hints: Qingfang Bridge, Zilingzhou, Liaoting Huayu and Ningyezhu.The first two items of Jia Fang have been completed, and a spacious cement concrete structure bridge has been built; Zilingzhou has become an aquaculture base.If nothing else, Liao Ting Huaxu and Nian Yezhu should be the two items that Jia Fang thought of.

Jia Fang told Shui Xian all these things one by one, and Shui Xian heard about the corresponding relationship between the Grand View Garden and Taoyuan Village for the first time, and immediately pestered Jia Fang, asking each place one by one, sitting alone and meditating. say.

Jia Fang thought he was still worried about running away after finishing the garden, so he said softly: "Didn't it be agreed at the beginning..."

Since the future cannot be controlled, we should cherish the present moment—the tacit understanding between him and Shui Xian at this time does not need to be resorted to.

Unexpectedly, Shui Xian picked up a freshly cooked vermicelli from the pot, put them all into Jia Fang's bowl, shook his head and said, "What I'm thinking about is... about Lei Gong and Dian Mu."

Jia Anxin relaxed his head. He didn't expect Xiaoshui to be so studious and inquisitive. Facing such delicious food, he wanted to explore the mystery of electromagnetic induction.

Shui Xian put down his chopsticks, looked at Jia Fang solemnly, and asked earnestly, "You said that Mr. Gui's place is going to show up soon, how did you know?"

Jia Fang immediately went to look at the yellow and spicy diced fish pot in front of him to see if there was too much sour soup, which made the vinegar smell too strong.Unexpectedly, after tasting it carefully, it was found to be normal acidity—Shui Xian was just curious, and even eager to try it, as if he also wanted to explore the mysteries of Thunder God and Lightning Mother.

Jia Fang finally felt relieved, picked up the vermicelli in the bowl with his chopsticks, and said, "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly."
