After unified thinking, everyone is assigned a piece of work.
As the general leader, Xu Wei is responsible for coordinating various affairs. He can take care of everything, but he doesn't have to take care of anything.
Xu Wei is self-aware, and it is better to leave professional matters to professionals, but after all, he has 2,000 years of experience, and it is Xu Wei's strength to point them in the right direction.
Of course, in order to better plan and develop Mayi, he selected 10 literate and poor children from among 200,000 people to serve as his secretaries to help him handle daily affairs and plan the development of Mayi.
Old Man Wang is responsible for transporting wood and various minerals to Mayi for processing. He is responsible for coal mines, clay mines, iron ores, and limestone mines. Workers in various mines, plus transportation teams, there are tens of thousands of people under Old Man Wang's management
.
The old man Niu was in charge of the blacksmith workshop, making tools and agricultural tools for their own construction. There were more than 200,000 pieces, which was a big project. For this reason, Xu Wei specially divided a large area beside the Sanggan River outside Mayi.
The land was given to Old Man Niu to build a large-scale iron smelting plant. It was also an industrial zone in the future. Xu Wei built a waterwheel specifically, intending to use the waterwheel to drive the hammer to make iron. He also built a dock specifically to transport coal and minerals by water.
Iron ore, although most of it is still only imagined.
And Niu Gui became the person in charge of commerce, helping Mayi transport various materials back and selling the materials produced by Mayi. At the same time, he inquired about the news around him. If there were forces with malicious intentions towards them around Mayi, he could let them know in advance.
.
Wang Lei was still the military director. After arriving in Mayi, 60,000 new soldiers were dismissed by Xu Wei. After all, he could not afford to support an army of 70,000, but 10,000 veterans were retained to protect the safety of Mayi.
Of course, Xu Wei and the other five alone could not manage a team of 200,000 people. In order to facilitate management, Xu Wei began to organize the 200,000 people into teams of 200,000 people, and divided more than 20 open spaces and houses inside and outside the city of Mayi.
Although it is too late to build, the foundation must be reserved.
Then Xu Wei asked these people to live in groups of ten thousand people in an open space. This was also their future community. Each district had a district chief. Later, it was subdivided into a district chief for 1,000 people, a chief guard for 100 people, a chief for 100 people, and a chief for 10 people.
With one person as the leader, a simple and clear vertical management system was established, integrating all 200,000 people into one group.
Modern people naturally know that a piece of loose sand has no combat effectiveness. The power of an organization is stronger than an individual. Only in an organization can people burst out with infinite combat effectiveness. Both the upper and lower lines are stronger than a pile of loose sand. Therefore, it is necessary to organize the tribes.
20 district chiefs, plus Xu Wei, formed the management of this refugee team.
They discussed the future development of Mayi together and confirmed the two most important things at present. One is to open up wasteland. One million acres of land will be reclaimed before winter this year. The second is to build a new city wall in Mayi and expand the city of Mayi by 10
More than times, everyone can be protected with city walls so that everyone can live a stable life.
Then more than 200,000 tribesmen began to take charge of different tasks. 50,000 tribesmen became workers, responsible for mining, logging, burning bricks, forging iron, building various kilns and building new cities. 10,000 veterans became soldiers, responsible for protecting everyone's safety.
, a caravan of 5,000 people was responsible for purchasing various materials that everyone needed, and the remaining 140,000 people became farmers responsible for reclaiming the desert islands around Mayi.
After the tasks were assigned, everyone started to get busy.
The logging team had to cut down trees every day, then cut off the branches, roll the logs to the river, tie them into rafts, and carry them down the river to Mayi. There is a special dock here in Mayi, and the workers transported the trees to Mayi.
Fish it up and drag it to the ant city with horses and oxen. After entering the lumberyard, you will receive pieces of square materials to build houses and other wooden tools.
There is a brick kiln in Mayi, but it is smaller and has been abandoned due to the war. Now Old Man Wang uses it for his own use. According to Xu Wei, Old Man Wang built a horizontal kiln, and thousands of people continue to polish bricks.
The embryos were dried in the shade and put into the cave dwelling. It was found that more than ten times more bricks could be fired at one time.
"It's really good!"
After burning for three days, the fire was turned off, and the temperature was cooled down for two days before the bricks were moved out of the cave. When Xu Wei saw this process, it took only half a month to produce 30,000 bricks, which made him wake up from his dream of producing one million bricks a day.
Come here and recognize the reality clearly. If you want all these 200,000 people to live in brick houses, don’t even think about it within two or three years.
However, Xu Wei still wants Old Man Wang to expand production. It is best to build 10 such brick kilns at once. After all, there will be 10 production lines.
But Old Man Wang rolled his eyes at Xu Wei and said: "To make a brick, you need to dig clay ore and loess. After that, you have to stir and beat evenly, then polish it into a brick embryo, put it into the cave, and then bake it into bricks. From the cave,
To transport it out, each step requires a huge amount of labor. First, 10 brick factories must be built, and the manpower for mining and brick making must be increased. I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people. Now there is a logging team, and
It is a coal mine, as well as an iron mine, a lumberyard, a stone factory, and a blacksmith shop. Even 40,000 to 50,000 people may not be able to conquer it. Where will there be manpower to build the city wall? We only have 200,000 people in total. Do we still need to farm?
Who will feed us?”
Obviously Old Man Wang understands better than Xu Wei that farming is the primary productive force in this era. Even people can't have enough to eat. It's just a daydream to develop any kind of industry.
When Old Man Wang said this, Xu Wei realized that he had too much ambition and too little skill. In this era, agriculture had not developed and survival was difficult, so he should not think about other things.
During this period, all construction projects were indispensable for bricks. Old Wang built three more round horizontal kilns like earthworms. The caves were larger and taller than the first one, and finally reached a production capacity of 200,000 bricks at a time.
But these bricks are not used to build city walls, but to build various cave dwellings. Brick kilns for burning bricks need bricks, small blast furnaces for iron making also need bricks, and charcoal burning cave dwellings need bricks. Xu Wei even ordered a furnace for burning bricks.
Cement kiln factory! There are no extra bricks at all.
Cement? Water and mud?
Old Man Wang couldn't figure out how this thing could be fired from a kiln.
Unlike Old Man Wang who doesn't want to see Xu Wei, Old Man Niu really welcomes Xu Wei to guide his work.
Xu Wei has a high vision but a low hand, but his knowledge is really broad and true. In terms of reading volume, Xu Wei has read more than the 100 most knowledgeable scholars in the world combined. It's a pity that all he remembers is about burning glass and burning glass.
Cement, making black powder, what kind of spear phalanx, Spanish phalanx, queuing up to shoot, and a lot of other miscellaneous things. It can be said that he knows astronomy and geography, but he doesn't understand them all. He is at the level of half a bucket of water. What Xu Wei knows
In modern times they are basically outdated and useless.
