Chapter 1103 The Yellow Earth of Support

“Go to sleep, you’re still reading!”

In the room, the old man was leaning on the bedside, holding documents in his hand, rubbing his eyes from time to time.

Although he yawned, he had no intention of letting go.

The old woman next to me has said this several times, but the old man no longer listens.

"Look a little longer!"

The old man said, and the old woman sat up after hearing this.

“How many times have I read this little thing?”

The old man smiled after hearing this, “It makes me happy to see this kind of good thing several times.”

The old man pointed to the data on the document, "You don't know how important these changes will be to the country."

"Steel!"

"Last time I went to North Korea, with the support of the alliance, they built infrastructure very quickly, and the overall domestic economy developed rapidly."

Speaking of this , the old man put the document aside, "The elderly there are well-supported, the medical care is very advanced, and the children can go to school."

"They eat a lot of food. There are also many cars on their streets."

“They also have a lot of planes and tanks.”

The old man said softly, thinking about the situation in the country, those who are struggling for food and clothing, and those who are still fighting for revolutionary construction, they feel a heavy weight on their shoulders and a pressure in their hearts.

"The gap between us is widening."

The old woman saw her husband's worries, gently held her arm, and then smiled, "Why do you envy them? ? It’s all for me, it’s not my own after all!”

“This is built with the help of others. Can it lay a good foundation? If the foundation is not solid, it will have no stamina!”

“No matter how good the things above are, they are still a castle in the air. ”

The old woman is also aware of the gap between them, but she also understands that this gap is only temporary. Given the size difference between the two sides, as long as the country catches up, the other party will never be a match.

“Look at us, although we don’t have the help of the alliance, don’t we still have a lot of things now?”

“I made this by myself, and it is easy to use. "

The old man nodded slightly, "How could I not know?"

"Industrial construction has always been one step at a time, and we must avoid taking the wrong path."< br>

"How can the gap be narrowed so easily!"

"And this process is so tedious!"

The old woman also sighed, "No. No way, why is our foundation too weak? "

"But as long as we keep moving forward steadily, it will be fine."

"Just like the comrades in the machinery factory, look at it. Well done.”

The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes, this machinery factory has taken the lead and done a good job through these things."

But the old woman shook her head, "That's not what I'm talking about."
< br>"You see, they were not familiar with steelmaking, but they were able to firmly support the use of new technologies. For this reason, they also heard that I went to Jinling to study. This kind of attitude and courage are rare."

The old man was silent for a long time and then nodded seriously, "You are right, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. , whoever can bravely take the first step represents victory."

The two said no more and prepared to sleep.

Pata

The room was dark.

"By the way, how was it when you went back to Yanzhou last time?"

The old man asked.

"The life of the villagers has become better, and the corn harvest now is much better than before! However, you also know the local agricultural conditions, and it is not easy to irrigate."

"Also, the largest factory nearby is actually a cement factory. Young people have no way to work. The cultivated land cannot support so many people. There are not that many factories, so we can only leave..."

"The village There are only old people and children left..."

"Oh!"

The old woman said with melancholy.

Especially before leaving, the villagers insisted on asking her to bring back a bag of millet, saying that it was produced at home and would taste familiar.

Those simple faces always appeared in her dreams.

The old man was silent.

It was the same when I went last time.

He also wants to change the local economy, but it is the same across the country, and there is nothing I can do about him!

The two did not continue talking, but neither one fell asleep.

After a long time, the old man seemed to have made up his mind and asked softly, "What do you think about building a factory there?"

"I remember that there are abundant resources there. Let's build a small steel factory. It should be fine.”

“What do you think?”

The old man became more energetic as he spoke, but after waiting for a while, there was no response.

Only then did I realize that my wife beside me was already asleep!

The old man tucked the quilt in, then slowly lay down and closed his eyes.

But the persistence in my heart is even stronger.

The next day, the old man got up and came to the office.

First, a systematic written record of the visit was made, and some important matters were handed over to other comrades.

Then I have someone archive it, and then I have time to deal with other things.

Secretary Tang organized the things that needed to be dealt with, and the old man finished them step by step. It was already noon.

"Xiao Tang, what else is there in the morning?"

"Chief, the Secretariat called just now. Several people want to report to you and ask when you will be free. "

The old man nodded, "Who are there?"

"Chief Li from the logistics department, and Chief Chen, and Chief Wang who returned to Xinjiang are also waiting."

"Wang Beard? He's here?"

"Yes, Chief Wang has been here in the morning. He should have been notified by Director Li."

The old man nodded and looked at the time, " Go and ask someone to add two more dishes. By the way, I want to buy some meat. Beard loves meat, so I want it. Fatter!"

The old man took out two paper tickets from his pocket and handed them to Secretary Tang, "This is my private treat!"

Secretary Tang knew the old man's temperament and also There was no refusal, "Then I'll call Chief Wang here."

"Well, there's no rush. Let's talk about lunch. Call Comrade Chen over first."

The old man thought of his decision last night and spoke immediately.

“Okay!”

……

Not long after, Mr. Chen walked in from outside.

"Chief, did you come back last night?"

Mr. Chen walked in and sat on a chair nearby.

The old man nodded with a smile, "Yes, I have been busy with everything during this trip. It's been hard work."

Mr. Chen shook his head, "It's nothing. It's just the past few days. "There are a lot of things, both good and bad, but overall, there are many good things."

Mr. Chen concluded, and then reported on the recent domestic situation, and implemented the things in the report one by one with the old man.

"How was the follow-up handling of the accident?"

Asked about the explosion accident at the Shishan Steel Plant, Chen Laodang was about to tell the old man the results.

“Alas!”

“They say new technologies are good, but they are risky, and a little carelessness can lead to disaster!”

The old man sighed, and Mr. Chen nodded.

"So we must be more standardized and prepared. This is what I am here for this time!"

As he spoke, Mr. Chen took out a pamphlet from his pocket, " This is the management manual produced by Hongxing Steel Plant."

"We each had one copy that day and followed the instructions in the manual..."

Old Chen told the matter again. Although the old man said it yesterday. I read the report late, but after listening carefully, I was still emotionally agitated.

"These safety regulations are all summed up from experience. Some of them are lessons learned through blood and tears. They cannot be buried and everyone must learn from them."

Mr. Chen said with emotion. The old man touched the booklet and said, "With this, the steel technology transformation you mentioned will be more confident!"

Mr. Chen nodded, " Yes.”

“I heard from the machinery factory that the steel plant will transform the 100-ton open-hearth furnace next. If it succeeds, the technology will become more and more skilled after accumulating experience,”

“This is also the basis for what I said, domestic steel production will double within one year.”

"If 100% of the steel plants in the country were transformed, the output would be even higher!"

"Of course, this requires other supporting facilities to keep up!"

Mr. Chen said as he spoke , while sighing.

The increase in steel production is very important to various domestic construction projects.

The old man nodded, "You said that the railway plan can be advanced. What do you think of this?"

After hearing this, Mr. Chen expressed his thoughts.

“If there is enough steel, the increase of main railway lines will be conducive to transportation exchanges and can boost the local economy.”

“At the same time, it will also facilitate the deployment of troops.”

Chen As the old man said, the old man naturally knew the benefits of building railways, "Do you have a specific plan?"

"It's still in the plan, but by this time next year, steel production has increased, and multiple sections can be started at the same time across the country to allocate manpower. Not a problem.”

"We still need to do a good job of investigation. It's no small matter to build a bridge over mountains and rivers."

The old man said cautiously, "By the way, how is the progress of the Jinling bridge?"

" Not slow, but not fast either. "

Mr. Chen thought for a moment, "Anshan Iron and Steel's output is only that small, and it can't grow quickly. "

"We can let other steel mills try to develop it, but we can't rely on one steel mill to do it. The world.”

Mr. Chen shook his head helplessly after hearing this, "We have also expanded the manganese steel refining technology, but so far, none of the imitations have been successful."

"A variety of reasons, apart from technical problems, are The equipment is different, and the same method is not applicable."

After the two people discussed the matters in the report one by one and reached a consensus, Mr. Chen talked about the successful development of a new engine by the machinery factory.

"This time the machinery factory specially made a new diesel engine to meet the demand for northwest exports."

Mr. Chen said with a constant smile on his face.

"So, the machinery factory has done something big again?"

"Yes."

After the work report, Mr. Chen was ready to leave.

Both of them have a lot of things on their hands, so it is rare to find time to meet.

"Wait a moment, there is one more thing, please help me with my advice!"

At this moment, the old man stood up and walked over.

“Chief, you said.”

“That’s right, you also know about the situation in Yanzhou. I remember that there are coal mines and iron mines around there. You see, can If you can't build a steel plant, just use this new technology to build a plant."

The old man said with some hope.

“I also know that this matter is not in the national plan, but the young people in Yanzhou have no way out, and what should we do if we are left with a group of lonely old people and children?”

"The land and people there have made important contributions to the revolution, and they are also meritorious to us.

"Don't forget the well diggers when you are ready. We must not forget the yellow land that supports red! ”

When Mr. Chen heard what the old man said, he was very silent.

Because he knew that it was not easy to build a factory there.

Let’s not talk about what is needed to build a factory. Resources, that is, the deployment of manpower is a problem.

Now there is a shortage of workers everywhere. Yesterday, Lao Huang from the First Machinery Department complained to him that the lack of workers would affect production, especially with the continuous breakthroughs in new technologies, the demand for workers is increasing.

No way, not all factories have as many machine tools as machinery factories.

So, it would be too expensive to build a new steel plant.

Moreover, the terrain and roads in Yanzhou are impassable, so even if it is produced, it will be...

What's more, the workers' lives and the arrangements for their families are all a lot of pressure!

As mentioned above, if the order is issued, the factory will definitely be built, but for the sake of long-term development, it is better to do less to quench thirst with poison.

Seeing that Mr. Chen remained silent, the old man sighed inwardly.

I am still wishful thinking!

“Alas!”

A sigh made Mr. Chen feel nervous.

"Actually, it's not impossible!"

Mr. Chen said, thinking of what Wang Huzi had mentioned to him, he suddenly had an idea.

"Chief, you know that Wang Huzi is back this time!"

The old man nodded, but he still didn't expect anything to happen to Wang Huzi.

"I guess the superiors will agree."

The old man nodded again.

“There is indeed a need to develop industry in Xinjiang, especially under the current situation, it is especially important for border areas.”

“Since he has made a request this time, we cannot refuse. "

Mr. Chen nodded. When Wang Huzi mentioned this to him, he knew that even if he did not fully support it, his superiors would not refuse.

After all, the construction of Huijiang is inseparable from the support of industry.

"You don't know, Wang Huzi came back this time, but he has left a lot of connections. He went to the First Machinery Department a lot, eating and delivering cigarettes and alcohol."

"I guess, With his ability, he will definitely get a lot of sponsorship this time."

The old man listened and suddenly thought of something.

“Do you want to rob me on the way?”
