Chapter 107: Locks Opened Conversation and communication

Zhang Zhimu only said a few words, and Li Yan knew that Zhang Zhimu and Li Zicheng were completely different people in front of him, and the difference between the Dashun Army and the Yaogang People's Army on the battlefield had already been decided from the difference between Li Zicheng and Zhang Zhimu.

The completion ceremony of the Xiaoling River lock was also very warm.

Zhang Zhimu insisted on asking Tang Jingyao to cut the ribbon with him, and Tang Jingyao's excited hands trembled a little and cut off the colored silk with Zhang Zhimu.

As soon as the colored silk was cut, firecrackers and drums rang out in unison. In the cheers of everyone, the water gate of the lock facing the direction of the Fen River slowly opened under the drive of the motor, and at this time the people on the shore were holding their breath, and they were surprised to see that the big iron gate opened by itself without being pushed. After the big iron gate opened, a tugboat dragged two passenger barges into the lock, and then the lock slowly closed again. At this time, the water outlet next to the water gate in the direction of the Xiaoling River opened, and the water of the Xiaoling River was put into the lock, and the tugboat river and the barge in the lock were slowly raised with the increase of the water level. When the water level in the lock was level with the water level in the Xiaoling River, the water gate in the direction of the Xiaoling River slowly opened, and the tugboat dragged the barge out of the lock and docked on the pier in the Xiaoling River. The crowd on the shore erupted in applause and cheers.

Zhang Zhimu went over and shook Tang Jingyao's hand and said, "Mr. Tang, you and your brothers have worked hard. I want to thank you, and I want to thank you. ”

Tang Jingyao was already in tears excitedly, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for giving me, a waste person, a chance to do something useful." After completing this project, I will die without regrets. ”

"Don't say that, Mr. Tang. After you recuperate, we have to study bigger things, and our kiln gang business has just begun. You must take care of yourself. Zhang Zhimu said.

"My body, please rest assured. If we had another project in the kiln, I wouldn't be so tired. Our brethren have also been tempered. They all want to have something new to do. Tang Jingyao said very sincerely.

Originally, Zhang Zhimu still wanted to talk to Tang Jingyao about the Three Gorges, but when he saw Tang Jingyao's emaciated cheeks, the lock had just begun to be opened, and he still had a lot to do, Zhang Zhimu didn't say much, just said: "Mr. Tang, busy with this section, go back to the kiln." We have something to talk about. ”

Tang Jingyao said: "Okay! Wait until the locks are stable. I'll go back and report to you in detail about the Xiaolinghe project. ”

The group brought by Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng and their group said goodbye to Fan Chengkun and Tang Jingyao, boarded the two passenger barges docked on the dock on this side of the Xiaoling River, and headed for the direction of Yaogang. The seats on the passenger barge are comfortable, and there is a small coffee table in front of each person. The waiter brought hot tea to everyone, and the roar of the steam engine was almost inaudible on the barge because the barge was chained to the tugboat. The barge runs very smoothly in the river.

When designing this passenger barge, Zhang Zhimu referred to the design of the enclosed speedboat. The draft of the barge is deep, and the surface part of the water is as low as possible, so that the stability of the boat is good. The cabin is fully enclosed, so that a little wind and waves have no effect on the passengers in the ship. The glass on the side of the ship is tempered glass, which is very safe. Electricity for ventilation is brought from the tugboat.

Due to the increase in the water level of the Xiaoling River, everyone looked at the scenery on both sides of the river from the boat, and they also saw far away.

Li Yunhe, who was sitting next to Zhang Zhimu, pointed to the reclamation team members who were building terraces on the hillside on the shore and said, "Mr. Zhang, you see that our terraces have been repaired to such a high level. ”

Zhang Zhimu looked at it and asked: "It's too high, and watering the ground is also a problem?" ”

"Haha! You don't have to worry about that. Mr. Lu asked us to change the steam engine that used to power the machine tool to one that could drive the water pump. Now they're treasures, too. In the future, on both sides of the Xiaoling River, several special water lifting stations will be built. Li Yunhe replied.

Zhang Zhimu suddenly remembered that there were still many bare mountains on both sides of the Yellow River, and that was due to the drought, and the grass and trees did not grow. However, the soil there is very thick, and if the water of the Yellow River can be lifted up, it will be easier to reclaim the land than here in Shanxi. Zhang Zhimu said to Li Yunhe: "I think we should go back and study whether to build a power station near Sanmen Town, which can not only supply power to the Kaiyuan New River, but also build a large water lifting station on the bank of the Yellow River, so that a large amount of arable land can be opened up on the bank of the Yellow River." The cost of reclamation there is much lower than that of our Shanxi reclamation. ”

Lu Bingyi, who was sitting behind Zhang Zhimu, heard what the two said, and couldn't help but sit over and said, "Mr. Zhang's idea is good. The last time I crossed the Yellow River with you, I was thinking that there are many places on both sides of the Yellow River guarding the Yellow River, and it is indeed surprisingly dry, and it really shouldn't be. If we can build a water lifting station on the banks of the Yellow River, it will be a great merit. ”

Zhang Zhimu asked Lu Bingyi: "Mr. Lu, I have been thinking about the navigation of Sanmenxia, although the Kaiyuan New River can solve some of the problems, but the ability to cross ships there is really limited. Can we blow up all the reefs in the Sanmenxia channel and let it pass unimpeded? ”

Lu Bingyi said: "Mr. Zhang, such things are often very complicated. Throughout the dynasties, people have been studying the problem here. You're just blowing it up, and new problems are going to arise. The biggest problem with the Yellow River is that the water is too heavy with sand and lifts its banks too high. When a flood hits, it doesn't know where it comes from, and it pours thousands of miles, flooding countless farmlands. Every time the Yellow River was diverted, countless people died. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "We can find a place in the Yellow River to build a barrage dam, when the water is big, we can store water, when the water is small, we release more water, and always keep the Yellow River flowing a certain flow, so that the sediment in the Yellow River water is not easy to deposit." In this way, can the Yellow River not be allowed to make trouble? ”

Lu Bingyi said: "We can only talk about such things. That's a big job. ”

"Mr. Lu, aren't we here to do something big?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang really wants to do this?" Lu Bingyi didn't look at Zhang Zhimu like a joke.

"I'm really thinking about it. But our current strength is not enough. Such a project requires a large amount of reinforced concrete, etc., and also requires astronomical amounts of labor. Later, when we have large-scale construction machinery, our economic strength will be enough. Let's talk about the railroad that we are going to build soon. The manganese steel for the rails from the smelting yard to Niutoushan is enough, but it is not enough to go to Lingshui Wharf. Zhang Zhimu said.

"What you said, I also thought about it, we don't use manganese steel rails from Yaogang to Lingshui Wharf, just use other high-carbon steel, and then replace it with manganese steel in the future. The volume of transportation here is not as large as that from Niutou Mountain to the smelting field. Lu Bingyi said.

"Yes! Without the construction of the railway, our shipbuilding industry will not be able to develop. Zhang Zhimu said.

Li Yan also sat in the seat not far from Zhang Zhimu and them, he heard the conversation between Zhang Zhimu and Lu Bingyi, and the shock in his heart made him clench his hands. He knew that he was in the middle of a group of people he had never seen before, and they were thinking about things, and they were all earth-shattering. It's no wonder that the kiln is so powerful. Until now, the Dashun Emperor didn't know where he was with the Yaogang people. Their ridiculous military advisors and prime ministers can only be said to be the difference in weapons, but they don't know why the difference in weapons is so big.

Huang Yukun took people to greet everyone at the Yaogang Wharf Passenger Station. Zhang Zhimu personally introduced Huang Yukun to Li Yan and his wife. According to the habit of the Yaogang people, Li Yan and his wife called Huang Yukun Mr. Huang. It seems that Ouyang He has already introduced Huang Yukun to Li Yan and his wife.

After some greetings, Li Yan and the others were all arranged to rest in the guest room of Yaogang.

As soon as they got off the boat, Li Yan's eyes were not enough, and the kiln was full of high-rise buildings. They had also heard of the glory of the kiln gang before, and last time they wanted to lead the troops to attack the kiln gang to take a good look, but they didn't expect to be picked up by the kiln gang people today. It's a wonderful feeling, and that's what the world says is unpredictable.

After Huang Yukun accompanied Li Yan and his wife to the guest room, he said, "You guys wash up well, we will have a banquet in a moment to catch you and the soldiers who went out to fight for you." We have already arranged your couple's house, you can take a look tomorrow, and I will arrange if there is anything else to prepare. If there is no problem, you can move in. ”

Li Yan and his wife didn't expect that the kiln gang would be so thoughtful. They wouldn't even know that the kiln people would arrange a villa for them that they couldn't even dream of in the past.

Li Yan and his wife, like the guests who came to Yaogang for the first time, all the living facilities were taught by the waiter from beginning to end.

Li Yan smiled bitterly and said: "When we arrived at the kiln, we couldn't even, I really don't know what else to do?" ”

The red lady also laughed and said: "This kiln gang person is really interesting, even is so troublesome." I wonder what they'll be like eating? ”

Li Yan and his wife were laughing and washing. After a while, the couple was invited to a banquet.

The banquet was divided into two parts, and a table was specially prepared for the female guests.

The female guests also have a lot of backgrounds, this time in addition to Huang Yukun, Yang Yulin, and Chen Yufeng's wife Xu Sister-in-law from Yaogang, they also invited Xiao Hongyu and the wife of Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Shanxi.

During the banquet, not only did the male guests push their glasses and change their glasses, but the female guests also drank a lot. Especially Yang Yulin, Red Lady and Mrs. Zhou, they are all heroes who rolled over from the battlefield of life and death, and the amount of alcohol is even more amazing. After drinking the wine, Mrs. Zhou spoke, "Yulin, sister-in-law, I know that you have a female corps, and that is your baby." Only you can mobilize the kiln people. I've heard that everyone is a two-gun. Sister-in-law, I'm really bored, can you let me help you train the army, we can't shoot guns, but I can still help you with archery. ”

Before Yang Yulin could speak, the red lady heard something meaningful, and also said: "Sister Yulin, there is such a good thing, don't pull me down." I can also help out. Now that my sister and I don't have any soldiers, I don't know what to do? ”

Yang Yulin also said very happily: "The two of you say this because you can afford to look down on me." There is no reason not to agree, you are welcome to help me advise if you have time. ”

Huang Yukun looked at the excitement they said and said, "You two, I'm afraid you won't be idle if you want to be idle in the future." We have a lot of things to do in the next step of the kiln, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will not be able to keep busy. If you don't say it, I'm going to mobilize you to work. ”

"Oh, Mr. Huang. Why didn't you speak earlier, I went shopping when I had nothing to do during this time. The salesperson at the department store where we visited almost knew me. I haven't pulled down all the performances in the Palace of Culture. Mr. Zhou asked me to go back to Ningwuguan, and I was even more reluctant to go back. But I really don't have anything to do here. Mrs. Zhou said.

"Now we've taken down the whole of Shanxi. There's going to be a lot going on right now. Don't worry, all of you. Huang Yukun comforted them.

After Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He came back, Zhang Zhimu discussed with them, and wanted to hold a meeting together after Li Mao came back from Jiangnan to discuss the specific steps of the next step. Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He both agreed.

In order to unify his understanding, Zhang Zhimu solicited opinions from these people in the kiln gang.

On this day, Zhang Zhimu asked Chen Yufeng to come out for a walk. The two of them walked slowly together on the bank of the newly renovated Xiaoling River.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Chen, we beat Li Zicheng too smoothly. It's more than I could have imagined. Everyone is also very optimistic about the form. But I have an idea that I hope you can support. ”

Chen Yufeng smiled slightly and said, "What else do we have different opinions?" ”

"Uncle Chen, that's right. From top to bottom, our officers and men wanted to fight after they had captured Shanxi. However, some want to hit Henan first, and some want to hit Shaanxi first. Isn't it? ”

"That's right. No matter where we hit, we won't have much effort. Have you seen the battle so much that you've seen it all? You choose which direction to hit, and we'll hit whichever direction we want. You don't have to worry about that. Chen Yufeng said.

Zhang Zhimu said: "My idea is that if the situation allows, we will not fight anywhere for one to two years. Just run Shanxi well. ”

Chen Yufeng was a little incomprehensible and said: "We are now invincible as a soldier. At this time, we should play as soon as possible. ”

"Uncle Chen, have you thought about it? The reason why we are invincible has a lot to do with our weapons. In the battle of Shanxi, our kiln gang was fought so easily after a long time of preparation. We have so many automatic weapons, the ammunition consumption is very large. If there is another high-intensity war soon, our supply will be tight. At the moment, we are very tight on the amount of rubber and copper. If we fight right away, if there is a problem of insufficient ammunition supply. Our rifles are like burning sticks. Moreover, our worst position is to take over the territories we occupy. My idea is that we will have to operate in Shanxi for two more years, and we will seize the next place, not only by our force, but also by our economic strength and political influence. If we concentrate our efforts, we can run Shanxi well. We have also trained a group of our own management cadres through the operation of Shanxi. Although it can be said that with our strength, it will not be too difficult for me to fight anywhere, even Xi'an and Beijing City, and it will not be a problem for us to fight if we want to. But we don't have to fight right away, the initiative is in our hands. To be honest, don't look at everyone's confidence in fighting out, but none of them have figured out how to manage the occupied areas. It is necessary for us to take the time and learn from the experience of managing the occupied territories. Zhang Zhimu said patiently to Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng pondered for a while and said, "Zhimu, it seems that you still think about things thoroughly. Now, it's easy for us to fight, and it's hard to convince everyone to stop fighting for the time being. Of course, we can also do it with a single command. But that would hurt everyone's enthusiasm a lot. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Recently, I have been drafting one report after another. I would like to give all our cadres an analysis of our current situation and the strategies we should adopt. I want everyone to have a clear understanding. But we had to unify our opinions first. I will also exchange views with Mr. Ouyang and the others. If only the two of us could be on the same page. We can also do their work separately. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "Zhimu, I'm very happy that you can do this. You're the emperor now. Let's talk about Tongguan. Mr. Ouyang and I are both a bit hot-headed. But you can calmly put forward your opinion. Afterwards, Mr. Ouyang and I both admired you very much. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "At that time, Yan Bo was also in the command center. He also advised me to calm down at this time. ”

"Humph! That old thing is one of the few people in our kiln gang who knows it in their hearts. In fact, you can also ask Yukun for advice when you encounter something. Chen Yufeng said.

"Yes! Sometimes Yukun can look at things calmly and surprisingly. But I don't want her to worry about our business. I thought she could figure out the family and finances. Zhang Zhimu saw that Chen Yufeng and his opinion were on the same page, and he felt very relaxed. Chen Yufeng: They fought smoothly, and it was not easy to stop. But he had to look at the bigger picture.

After talking to Chen Yufeng, Zhang Zhimu talked to Ouyang He again. This time the conversation took a little time. Because some of the opinions pointed out by Ouyang He such as striking while the iron is hot are also very convincing. Zhang Zhimu had to compare the pros and cons repeatedly before convincing Ouyang He. For Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, Zhang Zhimu had to convince them from the truth.

During this time, Zhang Zhimu's work was to write his report at night, and he talked to everyone separately.

These days, Zhang Zhimuhe and Li Yan have also talked a few times.

Li Yan had slowly quieted down from the surprise of arriving at the kiln. He was very satisfied with the villa that Yaogang arranged for him. The husband and wife also went to Zhang Zhimu's house to express their gratitude to Zhang Zhimu and Huang Yukun.

However, Zhang Zhimu and Li Yan's conversation was much more extensive.

When Li Yan first came to Zhang Zhimu's office, it was also the first time they had a conversation.

Zhang Zhimu first started with Li Yan's "Song of Persuasion", "Gongzi Li, when I first heard "Song of Persuasion" and knew that it was done by a rich child, I was thinking, what kind of character should this author be? I must meet this author when I have the chance. I didn't know much about you at that time. Later, Mr. Ouyang came and introduced you a lot. I said to Mr. Ouyang He, no matter what method is used, I must also think of inviting Li Gongzi to our kiln. Zhang Zhimu's title for Li Yan has been changed to Li Gongzi according to Li Yan's suggestion.

"I have also received letters from Brother Ouyang Xian. But at that time, I thought it was better to follow King Chuang and be a loyal minister. Hey, people like me are sometimes very pedantic and not easy to change their opinions. If it weren't for King Chuang, who really couldn't tolerate me, I wouldn't be able to get here, I'm really ashamed. Li Yan said: "As for the song "Song of Persuasion", he is also a scholar, and in the face of so many poor people, he has no choice but to do it. ”

"Li Gongzi, you are from a Jinshi background and have a solid family. If you plan your own future, you can live well. But you can't bear to ignore the heavens. forced himself to end up on the road of rebellion. Very admirable. However, I remember that I told you that Li Zicheng won the world, but he was just a change of emperor. The people of the world will be the same. There will also be rebellions by others. Repeat the process again. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Yes, I would very much like to hear Mr. Zhang's opinion on such a thing." Li Yan said.

Zhang Zhimu started from the inequality between the rich and the poor caused by land annexation, forcing the peasants to rebel, causing the change of dynasties, and as a result, another cycle was carried out and entered a strange circle. It has been said that the idea of the kiln gang people is to establish a state with a separation of powers, and the people elect national and local leaders. Whether officials are qualified or not has the final say on the people they serve, and all rights are to be exercised under the sun and subject to the supervision of the people. There is no need for officials who only need to be accountable to their superiors, so that corrupt officials can be greatly reduced. Large-scale annexation of land is prohibited by law. It is necessary to establish a covenant law that all the people must abide by, not a royal law issued by the emperor as long as the people abide by it.

Zhang Zhimu's statement made Li Yan feel bright. Li Yan was also an intellectual who was worried about the country and the people in that era, and due to the limitations of the times, they went beyond the times in every way, thinking that such a system that had been tested by practice was relatively the best.

Li Yan said to Zhang Zhimu: "Mr. Zhang, I still haven't fully understood what you said, but I have memorized everything you said. I feel like listening to your words is like opening a window in a dark room. My heart suddenly brightened. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that Li Yan had slowly accepted the concept of the kiln gang people, but he still needed some time to digest and understand.

Zhang Zhimu changed the topic and said: "Li Gongzi, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Our people have gone to Xi'an to pick up your family. Don't worry, I think they have the ability to bring your family to the kiln safely. ”

"Let Mr. Zhang bother. I believe in the ability of our kiln people. Li Yan said: "I have a lot of personal contacts with King Chuang, and I don't think he will be bad for my family." I still believe in King Chuang. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "That's great. ”

At this time, Yang Yulin knocked on the door and came in and said, "Old Uncle Qiu is here, in the command center." Uncle Chen asked if you have time to pass? ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that Qiu's old family had just returned to Yuncheng, and his old man had come over from so far away, there must be something big. said to Li Yan: "Li Gongzi, I'll go and have a look." ”
