Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

"First of all, you need to choose a suitable site. There are no special requirements for cement bricks and tiles. A factory building that can shelter from the wind and a flat site are all you need. However, there are still requirements for red brick sites. At least there must be sufficient brick kilns. Clay soil, right? You can’t fetch soil from miles away.”

"That's not a problem. I already have space in my heart for the venue. We'll go to the venue tomorrow morning to have a look."

Ay Ya I gi!And tomorrow morning?Is it easy for me to take one day off a week?This is obviously going to be squeezed out.

"In addition to the hardware conditions, there must be supporting roads. You can't have products but can't ship them out."

In 1980, not to mention the countryside, even the provincial roads were mostly sandy, and there were not many decent roads in the countryside.

Wahou is located in a remote place, with HN in the north and hills in the west, and some field roads that could only be traveled by horse-drawn carriage at that time.

This kind of small-scale transportation by horse-drawn carriage is not a problem. If there are motor vehicles, it is okay to say in winter, but it is a problem in summer and autumn.

"I'll talk about the road when the road is up. If it doesn't work, it can be repaired. You should first talk about the equipment needed by the brick and tile factory."

The issue of equipment is a long story to talk about.

The history of clay fired bricks can be traced back to the period of Qin Shihuang. It has a long history in China. The manual production method does not have much technical content, but the output is the problem.

Clay brick sintering is one aspect, and the pressing and drying of brick adobe is also an important link, which directly affects the output.

In order to increase the output, mechanization is the path that must be taken. Making adobes by hand is a piece of cake.

Beiliao was a heavy industry province in China at that time, and almost all the machinery and equipment that could be produced in China were available in Beiliao, and of course there were brick-making equipment factories.

As for cement bricks and tiles, I can no longer buy them. One is that the budget is not enough, and the other is that there may not be such machinery at that time.

Making cement bricks with the same machinery that makes red bricks doesn't seem to work.

Cement bricks came onto the stage of history only after clay bricks were officially banned nationwide in 2010. Where are those equipments sleeping?

Then it can only be made by hand with molds.

"First of all, we need equipment for pressing water billets. There must be manufacturers in our province. The difficulty is to find the cities where these manufacturers are located, and then buy the equipment back."

Zhang Hai blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "I remember that there seems to be such a factory in Dongdan City. I heard about it from the buyer of the machinery factory."

Dongdan City is [-] meters away from Hongya, in the most southeastern corner of Beiliao Province, opposite to County C, another socialist country.

"Then implement it as soon as possible. This is the equipment needed for sintering red bricks. For the time being, we can only produce cement bricks and tiles by manual molds. The sales of cement bricks and tiles in the early stage will not be too large. Manual molds are enough to cope. When the market opens When the demand comes up, we will find a way. As for the mold, our commune machinery factory or Gushan commune machinery factory can design, process and produce it, but I guess we need relationships.”

The products of the Yongshi Commune Machinery Factory are old-fashioned hammer mills and three-phase asynchronous motors. A township enterprise could produce these things at that time and it was considered a relatively high-end factory. It should not be a problem to produce several sets of brick and tile molds. refused to do.

After the general policy and strategy are formulated, the matter is considered settled, and the next thing to do will depend on Zhang Hai's work ability.

"Nephew! Do you think we can do it if we open a brick and tile factory? There are several brick and tile factories in our county." Some people still seemed to be lacking in confidence and raised questions.

There were indeed several brick factories in Hongya County at that time, especially the most famous Gaoyang Brick Factory in the west of Hongya County. This question is not unreasonable.

"Why not? Everyone else can do it, but we can't? I don't believe it! Bricks and tiles are necessary supplies in the countryside. One or two brick factories can't meet the needs of such a big market in Hongya County. Why is the brick factory in Gaoyang so prosperous? It is because there are no competitors, so as long as the quality of our products is guaranteed, there will be no market, and the supply will definitely exceed demand, and we will do it!"

Wan Feng's words were resounding.

Chapter 46 Far away

At this point, Wan Feng made an addition: "If we lack technicians for red brick sintering, we can go to Gaoyang to invite some masters."

This Wanfeng has the right to speak. After 2010, when many policies began to appear in the countryside, there would be a recovery period for infrastructure construction, and many buildings began to be launched.Even in rural areas around [-], there was a trend of building a large number of new houses, followed by the launch of large-scale construction. Although there were some ups and downs in the middle, this trend continued until after [-].

But this Wan Feng can't say, he can't tell others that he came back from time travel after 38 years!

The meeting ended here. Before leaving, Zhang Hai also told Wan Feng to go to see the venue with him tomorrow.

Wan Feng was full of reluctance, but he had no choice but to agree because he thought that he would still have a share in the future.

In the middle of the night, it began to rain outside.

Wan Feng liked rain, and for some reason, when it rained, his heart felt extraordinarily comfortable, and even sleeping was extremely sweet.

When I opened my eyes at [-] o'clock in the morning, I realized that the rain outside had not stopped but turned into a torrential downpour, heavier than a downpour.

Xin said that there is no need to visit the venue this time.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hai, who had acute eye disease, ran from Xigouli to Dongtou at seven o'clock, and could not help but drag Wan Feng out.

This is bad luck.

Wan Feng was wearing a coir raincoat that he had only seen in ancient TV dramas, and a bamboo hat on his head.

If he had another knife on his waist, he could pretend to be a hero.

The bamboo hat is not tight, and it is raining heavily outside, and it is raining lightly inside, and the drizzling is so sour.

"Uncle Zhang Hai, if I catch a cold, will the team pay for the medicine?"

"pay!"

"What if you have a fever? What kind of tuberculosis, gastric ulcer, etc. are caused by the fever?"

Zhang Hai became impatient: "Don't worry! Stay far away, you can't die!"

This is very reasonable, and it is indeed far away!It will definitely not die.

So, behind Zhang Hai's back, Wan Feng gave him a string of Martian letters: #￥%...*&*

The people who went to see the venue were the same people as yesterday.

Probably except for Wan Feng who was afraid of death, the rest of the people in Wahou were warriors, and they rushed to the field with impassioned expressions, only Wan Feng was trembling behind.

Maybe it was pitiful for God to see Wan Feng look like a wet chick. When they reached the venue that Zhang Hai said they had chosen, the rain stopped.

Wan Feng threw away the bamboo hat on his head and the coir raincoat on his body, not to mention that it was very uncomfortable to wear.

The site Zhang Hai chose was at the end of Xigouli. Nanshan and Xishan might not like each other here, so they converged at a bend, forming a mountain bend with a diameter of one mile.

The mountain bend turned out to be land, and there was a stream on one side.

Perhaps because the soil here is too sticky, the land here is almost half-abandoned, but it is a good place to open a brick kiln.

The clay here is so sticky, even Wanfeng's Jiefang shoes were soaked by the rain, and he didn't know which piece of clay was glued away. Now his bare feet are squishing in the mud like ducks treading water.

"Nephew! What do you think of this place? The clay here is very viscous and the bricks fired are guaranteed to be strong, and the clay capacity here is enough to burn tens of millions of bricks."

Wanfeng really can't comment on the clay and terrain here, but the road here is a big problem.

"There seems to be no problem with the soil, but the road here is a serious problem. If there is no road, it doesn't matter how many bricks you burn here."

"The road is not a problem, we can draw labor to repair it, now let's discuss the specific location and size of the brick kiln."

It took a long time to determine the specific location of the brick kiln, and it took more than an hour to finally determine the side of the mountain bend close to the country road.
