Chapter 174 Base Area Development Plan
When Li Ergui heard what Li Dakang said, he was stunned on the spot.
Before he came, he thought Li Dakang was joking with him, but he didn't expect that Li Dakang really wanted him to be the mine manager.
For a moment, Li Ergui became a little overwhelmed.
He had never been an official before and was afraid of not being able to manage well.
After all, in his opinion, the mine manager was already a very important official.
"Dakang, I'm afraid I can't manage the coal mine well. After all, I have never been a mine manager."
"Hahaha, it's okay, Uncle Ergui.
No one in the independent column knows how to mine, but you are the only one in Lijiazhuang who knows, so you are the best candidate to be the mine manager."
Li Ergui looked at Li Dakang's determined eyes and stopped refusing.
"Okay, since you think highly of me, Li Ergui, I will manage this coal mine for you."
Afterwards, Li Dakang brought Li Ergui and his party back to Lijiazhuang.
............
"Commander, good news. Very good news."
Li Dakang rushed into the command center shouting, which immediately scared Gundam.
"Minister Dakang, what good news do you have?"
Li Dakang said while breathing heavily.
"Commander, this morning I took our Lijiazhuang prospector Li Ergui to Yelang Mountain to look for coal mines.
We found a medium-sized coal mine in Yelang Mountain, with estimated reserves of tens of millions of tons.”
After hearing this, Gundam’s eyes widened. He quickly walked up to Li Dakang and grabbed him.
"Is what you said true?"
"Commander, it's true, we found the coal mine."
"Hahaha, that's great. Now we have a site for the power plant. Minister Dakang, thank you for your hard work."
Gundam was in a very happy mood. He didn't expect to find the coal mine so quickly.
Originally he thought it would take a long time to find a mine, and he was prepared to send people to mine far away if there was no coal mine.
"Minister Dakang, now that we have found the coal mine, we must also put the site selection and construction of the power plant on the agenda as soon as possible. If there are not enough workers, we can go to nearby villages and towns to find workers. The power plant must be built as soon as possible."
"Yes, Commander."
"I will go find a Feng Shui master to look for a place in the next two days, ......."
Li Dakang knew well the importance of the power plant to the independent column and that he had to act as soon as possible.
..........
A week later.
Ping An Power Plant officially broke ground.
During this week, Li Dakang has been running around desperately every day looking for workers and construction experts in order to start the construction of the power plant.
Although this is only a small power plant, the difficulties faced in building a power plant are enormous.
Building a power plant is not as simple as building a house. There are many things to consider, and without professionals, it is impossible to understand the placement of the equipment inside.
To this end, Li Dakang mobilized all his connections to find the experts who built the Heyuan Power Plant.
This power plant was invested and built by Heyuan County before the Japanese invasion, so many construction experts participated in its design and construction.
After Li Dakang found several construction experts and explained his purpose, they were all very willing to help the Eighth Route Army build a power plant.
Thanks to the efforts of the experts, a set of simple construction drawings was designed.
In the end, Gundam decided to start the civil engineering work first, and as for the subsequent equipment installation and other aspects, they would find relevant professionals to carry out, which could greatly save time.
At the Yelangshan construction site, hundreds of workers are busy digging the foundation.
Since there are no construction machinery, everything has to be done by humans.
Fortunately, we found enough workers, so the construction progress was very fast.
Countless construction materials were transported to the power plant. Fortunately, the independent column had dozens of large trucks, otherwise it would have been too heavy to carry all these construction materials.
In order to allow trucks to enter Wild Wolf Mountain, the Independent Column deliberately blasted out a mountain road.
Gundam would come to the construction site every day and take a look around. Seeing the power plant change day by day, he felt very satisfied.
The Chinese nation is indeed the most hardworking nation, and the infrastructure maniacs of later generations are no joke.
As everything in the independent column gradually got on track, Gundam began to think about developing the base on a large scale.
Now the independent column has its own vast base and is no longer the county brigade that guarded one acre and three mu of land.
The economy of the base must be developed, otherwise it will not be able to support the independent column of nearly 4 people.
Developing the economy is not a difficult task for Gundam.
The 21st century is an era of information explosion. All information can be found, and there are many ways to develop the base economy.
That night, Gaoda called Li Dakang, Li Yunlong and others to the headquarters.
"Commander, why are you calling us to the headquarters so late? Is there a new mission?" Li Yunlong spoke first.
Gundam motioned for everyone to sit down.
After everyone was seated, Gundam spoke from his seat.
"Everyone, I called you to the headquarters tonight because there is something important to discuss."
"I plan to develop the economy in the base area, expand production, and reclaim wasteland. . . . "
"Given the current situation of the base, it is very difficult to feed so many people in the independent column. We must find a way out ourselves..."
Everyone present agreed with Gundam's words.
The economic construction of the base area is urgent, not only to support the independent column, but also to improve the lives of local people.
If the independent column wanted to open a factory, it would need to find local people to work as workers.
This will increase the income of local people, rather than relying on the weather for their livelihood.
Gundam explained the base construction plan in detail in the headquarters.
The independent column will reclaim a large amount of wasteland in the base area and plant crops to make the independent column completely self-sufficient.
The breeding industry should be vigorously developed in the base area, and pig farms should be established to raise a large number of fat pigs so that the soldiers have sufficient supply of meat.
"Everyone, regarding the points I mentioned above, all units must do their best to implement them, ..."
"Yes, Commander."
Everyone present responded in unison.
After arranging the tasks for each unit, Gundam turned to look at Li Dakang.
"Minister Dakang, next I plan to build a large garment factory in the base. This is a labor-intensive industry that requires a large number of workers, ................."
"Yes, Commander."
"I will immediately recruit workers from the villages near Lijiazhuang. I believe the locals will be very willing to work in the garment factory."
Li Dakang took on the task confidently.
