Someone in the queue immediately began to boo, shouting at the top of their lungs:
"Hey, what's going on? If you want to buy coal, go to the queue at the back. We've been waiting in line before dawn. Why don't you just jump in when you come?"
"That's right, even if the cadres come, they still have to queue up!"
"Yes, get the hell behind!"
Shen Guoming was wearing a large blue cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers, clean and tidy.
Lin Sanqi's cotton-padded coat has heaven and earth inside, and is made of ordinary fabric on the outside. In fact, the filling inside is goose down. Who says southerners are afraid of the cold? There are two warm babies on the underwear.
The two of them came in a car, and they were cleanly dressed. They also had a pen in their breast pocket, and they looked like they had status.
Dean Shen smiled and took out a green notebook from his briefcase:
"Everyone has misunderstood. We are here to buy coal on behalf of the unit. We have no conflict with you and will not join your team."
The window for units to buy coal is different from that for ordinary people to buy coal, so Dean Shen said this.
As a result, someone in the crowd shouted: "Why is there no conflict? You buy tens and hundreds of tons. How much will we, the people, have left?"
"That's right, when you are leaders, you just want the office to be warm, but why didn't you think of providing heat to the workshop?"
"It's the same with the factory in our street. The workers have sores on their hands from the cold, but the factory manager is fucking hot in the office."
The crowd began to talk a lot, all expressing their dissatisfaction with the lack of heating. People in Peiping were very abusive and abusive.
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, just now he was praising the cadres of this era for having a bottom line. Well, that's too much. There are always a few big rats ruining the reputation.
At this time, a small leader who was maintaining order in the coal yard also came over sniffing:
"Which unit are you from?"
"Hello, comrade, we are from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
"The one on Kuan Street? Oh, I'm sorry. It is said that your hospital does not have an inpatient department, so the coal quota is not large. I took a look and it is only 10 tons. The superiors have said that this year the focus of coal should be to ensure patients, such as Union Hospital and Railway General Hospital, Coal General Hospital and so on.”
Dean Shen frowned:
"What is 10 tons of coal enough for? Besides, who said our hospital of traditional Chinese medicine does not have an inpatient department? Our Changping branch still has 200 inpatients."
The coal yard staff smiled and shook their heads:
"You said it's the Changping branch, so that place is naturally supplied by Changping. We don't have to worry about that. I'm sorry!"
Dean Shen didn't argue, the rules at this time were like this, local management, you can manage wherever you are.
The key point is that the Changping branch is a freak, a self-financing farm, and the state does not even provide food and various types of bills, let alone coal.
Seeing the dean so troubled, Lin Sanqi felt relaxed. It's just a bit of coal, so take care of it!
"Uncle Shen, it's okay. There are practical difficulties because the country doesn't give us coal. I'll take care of it."
Lin Sanqi thought that he would go to 2014 to develop coal. As long as the money is available, he can get whatever he wants.
The young leader of the coal field was delighted when he heard this:
"Hey, I don't see that you are a capable person, but with this year's coal supply situation, I guess you have to find a leader to approve a note. If you want hundreds or thousands of tons, it's not that I'm mean, I'm afraid it's difficult. Rudengtian. ”
Lin Sanqi knew that the people in Peiping spoke straightforwardly and was not angry, but was a little curious:
"Comrade, what is your surname?"
"Minggui, surnamed Zhou, Zhou Caizhi."
"Comrade Zhou, right? Then I'm a little curious. The newspaper said that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the annual coal output was only 40 million tons. Last year, it reached 300 million tons. With such a large increase in output, even some exports will not be like this. Lack of coal? ”
Everyone in the surrounding coal fields laughed.
Zhoucai smiled for a while before shaking his head helplessly:
"Comrade, how do the people in your hospital know the energy supply situation across the country? Let me tell you, based on the current national demand, our coal needs to be at least 800 million tons.
Just because of the lack of coal, not to mention that the heating problem of the common people cannot be solved, even the locomotives cannot start. Our capital is pretty good, but in some remote areas factories have to shut down due to lack of coal.
Think about it, the current national annual output is 300 million tons, more than half of which needs to be exported. Faced with this huge gap, can you tell us whether our country will not be short of coal? So it’s really not our coal mine that’s embarrassing your Chinese medicine hospital, it’s really hard to squeeze out. ”
If you want to talk about something else, Lin Sanqi still doesn't understand, but if you want to list the data like this, Lin Sanqi will be dumbfounded in an instant. "The gap is so big? I remember that our country's coal reserves are quite abundant..."
Lin Sanqi checked the information. Although he didn't remember it all, he vaguely remembered that coal mining volume reached 4.5 billion tons in 2022. This was under the premise that oil and natural gas accounted for half of the energy supply.
Zhou Caizhi chuckled:
"Why are our countries so rich in coal reserves? They are so rich. Even if we risk our lives, our coal department will dig them out for the use of the people across the country.
Not only coal, but also oil. I heard that an oil field was discovered in Daqing, Northeast China last year, but I don’t know how much the reserves are. Didn’t foreigners say that our country is a country poor in oil and coal? ”
We are a country poor in oil and coal...
On the way back to the hospital, Lin Sanqi kept thinking, thinking about Zhou Caizhi's words just now.
Zhou Caizhi is still a staff member of the coal system, and he believes this. Obviously in the minds of the people across the country, and even the top leaders, we are such a country with poor energy resources.
But is this really the case?
Lin Sanqi didn't know about other provinces, but he was certain that Shanxi Province alone had 50 billion tons of coal reserves, and there were still others that had not yet been discovered.
Later, those coal bosses in western Shanxi all went to the capital to buy houses, cars and gold with a snakeskin bag and a snakeskin bag of money. They were called generous. To pick up female celebrities and throw money at them is not even raising an eyelid.
If calculated based on the current annual output of 300 million tons, the coal reserves in Shanxi Province alone can be mined for more than 100 years. If we look at the whole country, there will be even more coal.
The key is that many coal reserves have not yet been discovered, and there may only be more in the future.
Therefore, our country does not lack coal at all. At least in 1960, there was no shortage of coal. It is just that the current country does not know how much coal is hidden underground in our country.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Uncle Shen, I have a solution!"
Dean Shen didn't take it seriously: "I know that you can help our hospital get coal, and you can even get the X-ray production line. A little coal is nothing to you."
Lin Sanqi braked and shouted excitedly:
"No, Uncle Shen, I mean if I knew how much coal we have in the country, or even where there is a lot of coal underground, and tell the country then, then we wouldn't be short of coal."
< br>
"You know?"
Dean Shen's expression became serious at this time:
"Xiao Qi, this is no joke. If you really know the distribution of coal reserves underground in our country, a situation that even the country does not have control over, but you have it, or the organization behind you has it, you know what it means. ?”
Lin Sanqi blinked, wondering why the old man was so serious: "What does it mean?"
"This means that the organization behind you has penetrated into all aspects of the country. Even our country's core energy distribution map is known. This touches the core interests of the country. It is easy for the higher-ups to misunderstand that you are plotting something evil.
The above can tolerate your smuggling behavior, because everything you are doing now is beneficial to the country, but if the organization behind you can easily grasp the domestic energy distribution, I am afraid there will be a strict investigation and someone will be killed if found out. Batch of people, very scary. ”
"I'm sorry, do you want to be so scary? I just want to make some contribution to the country."
In the end, Lin Sanqi was essentially just an intern doctor, or at most a two-world smuggler. His structure and vision were not big enough, and he knew too little about politics.
Dean Shen thought for a while and asked seriously:
"Xiao Qi, are you sure you can get the real distribution map of national coal reserves?"
Lin Sanqi was a little hesitant. He didn't want to be locked up in a sky jail and interrogated. He might even have a whip dipped in salt water and whip you: "You say it or not, you say it or not!"
He came here to make a fortune, not to be arrested as a criminal.
If the consequence is that he suffers a loss, then he definitely doesn't want to be such a holy mother. He can't even protect himself. He doesn't care whether the country has enough coal or whether the people will freeze to death.
"I...should I say I know...or I don't know?..."
"If you know that this distribution map really exists, it is very important to our country. As Communist Party members and national cadres, we always have the country and the people in our hearts, so we must hand it in.
In this way, you can then say that your distribution map was drawn before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the information you provide should preferably be marked with the Republic of China period. At that time, we had not yet established our country, so there was no risk in taking out such information. ”
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, good guy, Jiang is really old, and the old man could see the details that he didn't pay attention to at a glance.
"Okay, Uncle Shen, then I'm going to take a few days off to try to get information about our country's coal reserves from the organization!"
"Ah, you want to ask for leave again?" (End of Chapter)
