Chapter 324 Water Conservancy Project
Carrying out basic education in Linqing is a matter of course.

Before education, various industries in Linqing had a certain foundation.More and more local people in Linqing are involved, and under the premise of changing their lives, they will naturally realize the importance of education.

Especially in the field of technical education, it is more recognized by the people.

After all, everyone has seen that learning a little technology can make a lot of money and make life better.

Even if the administrative committee does not engage in education promotion, the people will spontaneously find ways to receive education.

Not to mention, the primary schools set up by the Education Commission are still free.

Whether to charge or not, Zuo Menggeng and others had a heated discussion.

Everyone's opinion is charged.

After all, the cost of education in the field of education, as long as you do a little calculation, will be an astronomical figure.If there is no fee, all the costs will be borne by the government, which puts a lot of pressure on the executive committee.

But Zuo Menggeng persuaded everyone with just one sentence.

【If you charge a fee, how many of these tens of thousands of schoolchildren are left? 】

Yes, tuition fees will be directly related to the number of students.

For the construction of the regime, talents, more talents, are the top priority.

No one knows how long everyone's plans can be hidden, and they must always be on guard against the repression after the court's discovery.Only by becoming stronger and stronger can we eliminate risks.

In contrast, the cost of education is not so important.

Of course, sufficient fiscal revenue is the basis for doing so.

Adequate financial revenue is also the basis for the relocation of the factory.

"After our on-site inspection, we decided to place the smelter and forging plant near the Daicun Dam."

The most important factor to consider when choosing a factory site is water resources.

In addition to the lake and the canal near Anshan Lake, there is also a river, the Dawen River.

The hydraulic drives required by the two factories can be lined up along the Dawen River, and the scale is much larger than that of Zuozhuang.

Zuo Menggeng had no objection to this location, but he also had special concerns.

"There are not many water resources nearby, so it must be well protected. The two factories are not allowed to discharge waste into the river."

Jiang Wei scratched his head in confusion, wondering why Zuo Menggeng cared so much about this.

People in this era don't know the importance of environmental protection at all. Without his mandatory requirements, these guys would definitely come here wherever it is convenient for them.

When it comes to environmental protection, after Zuo Menggeng made it mandatory, he is not afraid of the people below.He called Feng Benyu and came to Dai Village Dam.

"We should have seen it all along the way. The river channel is just natural. Can we lead the Dawen River to Anshan Lake to form a water channel?"

What Zuo Menggeng wanted to do was to divert the Dawen River into Anshan Lake, just like the future generations.

In later generations, when Dongping Lake was shrinking, the water source of Dawen River was introduced to preserve the ecology of Dongping Lake.

Of course, Zuo Menggeng intends to do this, not out of ecological considerations.

Today's Anshan Lake is connected to the canal and the Daqing River, so there is no need to worry about the water source.

What Zuo Menggeng wanted was to connect Anshan Lake with Tai'an, Laiwu and other places through this water conservancy project, so that the influence of the new army could penetrate deep into the hinterland of Shandong through waterways.

In the battle of Anshan Lake, Feng Benyu opened up the canal, the Daqing River and the Anshan Lake waterway, and established his status as the first person in the project in one fell swoop.

When Zuo Menggeng planned to connect Anshan Lake and Dawen River, he also thought of him for the first time.

Now the engineering troop is a bit special, and it is also the army and the people.

Whether it is engineering erection on the battlefield or civil engineering construction, engineering troops are involved.

Although it seems unprofessional, the initial role of the regime will be greater.

When New China was first established in later generations, military organizations such as the Railway Corps, the Engineering Corps, and the Construction Corps made outstanding contributions to national construction.

After all, the organization of the military is incomparable to the people.

Zuo Menggeng seriously suspected that the Dawen River had flowed into Anshan Lake before.Because they found along the way, there are dry rivers left on the land.

Although the water flow is now cut off, since there are existing river channels, the amount of work will be greatly reduced.

Another good news is that the waters of Anshan Lake are very wide today, and it is next to Dongping County to the east.Unlike later generations, the distance from Dongping Lake to Dongping County is nearly [-] miles.

In this way, the engineering troops can complete the connection of the water system as long as they clear the stretch of more than ten miles from Dongping County to Daicun Dam.

Feng Benyu followed Zuo Menggeng to do a preliminary survey, and he was confident, but he didn't make any promises.

"Any time request?"

Zuo Menggeng knew what he meant.

Today's projects, unlike later generations, cannot do such detailed exploration.

On the surface, there is a ready-made river channel from Anshan Lake to Daicun Dam. As long as the two sides are dug through, it seems that Anshan Lake and Dawen River can be connected.

But in fact, the height of the terrain needs to be accurately measured, and the structure under the surface of the land is still unclear, so I don't know what problems will be encountered after the start of construction.

If a military order is issued and it is not completed by then, it is not a waxing.

As a bucket-carrying engineering dog, Feng Benyu has the essence of caution and seriousness.

Zuo Menggeng did not have any urgent thoughts, but said: "It is enough to be able to penetrate within one to two years. Even if it is longer, it doesn't matter."

He saw value in the waterway, but was not in a hurry.

At least the situation in Shandong is not under control now, and the extent to which it will develop in the future is unknown.Don't be affected by the war, then all the projects will be in vain.

Seeing that the conditions were so relaxed, Feng Benyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I can assign a unit to take charge of this matter without delaying the next battle."

Now that the entire army is preparing for the next battle, the task of the engineering troop is actually quite heavy due to the need to attack the mountains.

Since Zuo Menggeng did not have high requirements for the Dawen River water conservancy project, the engineering force could send a small force to get the preliminary work started.

At the end of April, the relocation of major factories officially began.

The weapons and ammunition produced during this period were distributed to various units, and it was much easier to relocate the relaxed factories.

The space vacated by the smelter was reserved for Artistry.

The Xu sisters decided to set up a factory here to produce leather shoes.

But the big problem facing the Xu sisters is that there are not enough craftsmen.

Leather was not a mass industry in the Central Plains. Except for the official workshops that have leather craftsmen to make armor, it is relatively rare everywhere.

ARTISTRY is going to take the route of industrialization, so a large number of leather craftsmen are the basis of production.

"If we start cultivating workers from now on, we don't know when we will be able to produce them? A day's delay in Songjiang Prefecture will be a huge loss."

After leaving the Xu residence, Yu finally didn't have to worry about the eyes of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and could finally show her strength.

Xu Ruoxin gave full play to her sister-in-law's advantages, and had difficulty finding her brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, can you recruit craftsmen for us?"

Zuo Menggeng stood on the dirt slope, pointed at the crowd slowly walking in the distance, and said with a smile: "Nuo, look, the craftsmen you need are not here."

Xu Ruolin and the others looked suspiciously, but they were all puzzled.

Zuo Fu gave the answer.

"I came back from the seat and asked us to search for leather craftsmen. I inquired about it and learned that there are a large number of leather craftsmen in the Lianguan shop in Gyeonggi, so I sent someone to rush over there. The official shop has a long history of making fur, and there are countless craftsmen who know the craftsmanship. So I made some effort and invited some craftsmen to come back.

Zuo Fu said it was easy, but in fact it was not like that at all.

Lianguandian is actually the largest fur distribution center in Daming. Not only furs from Mobei and Liaodong are sold here, but even merchants from the Western Regions will send furs here.

In the mouth of businessmen in the Western Regions, it can be described as the reputation of "don't know Shulu County, only know the honest official shop".

Lianguandian is as famous as Zhoucun in Shandong and Zhuma Town in Henan, and is known as "a village in Shandong, a collection in Hebei, and a town in Henan".

However, under the troubled times, the fur business of the Lianguan Store was also greatly affected.Especially after the rebellion of the northwest peasants, it was difficult to transport furs from the western regions, and the honest official shop also declined day by day.

In addition, the corrupt officials and the tyrannical levies made many local people choose to flee.

At this time, Zuo Fu used all his methods, and he was deceived, and he even brought in more than a thousand leather craftsmen.

Although the skills of these artisans are relatively traditional and primitive, at least they can help ARTISTRY complete the processing of fur to leather.As for the follow-up shoemaker, it needs to be cultivated by Yazi.

In any case, these artisans will be the pioneers of leather craftsmanship in Linqing.

After all, the use of leather is far more than just leather shoes.

With its own leather processing industry, the production of various armors will not be hindered in the future.

Therefore, according to Zuo Menggeng's plan, the leather factory and the shoe factory are to be started together.

The tannery can not only provide raw materials for the shoe factory, but also undertake the production of other leather goods.
