Chapter 32: Buying Horse Bones
With nitrate, boiling nitrate is much easier, and it is nothing more than a crystallization process.
These processes, Zhang Ran is clear, and after today's observation, he feels that even if the hair drill is not there in the future, he can boil out the finished product.
"You go back, but you must boil it according to the method taught by Minister Mao, and you must not be careless!"
After the militiamen who had been busy for a day had a good meal in the canteen, Zhang Ran made an impassioned speech to these militiamen, in which he praised the great achievements of Mao Diamond, which was full of praise.
It took half an hour for Zhang Ran to finish speaking, and then the militiamen were asked to go back to their villages, and let them organize people to boil the nitrate under the leadership of their respective village heads.
"What kind of official is this Minister Mao, Captain Zhang is polite to him? At lunchtime, the food is different from ours - all have meat! ”
When they left Yanggou Village together, the militiamen were talking to each other about the treatment that Mao Zuan enjoyed at the detachment headquarters, especially Zhang Ran's praise of Mao Zuan in the sky and the earth during the meeting, and the project's eyes were red.
"I heard that it's a second lieutenant - it's Captain Zhang and their Jindong detachment, except for Captain Zhang himself, Minister Mao's official is the biggest, bigger than the platoon commander of Lao Gui...... When the old man saw him, he had to salute and pinch him! Some militiamen who heard the inside story were speechless.
"What, hasn't Minister Mao only participated in the Eighth Road for a few days? Why did you become such a big official all of a sudden? The militiamen were shocked.
"Mao Drill can boil nitrate, make gunpowder, and have craftsmanship - Captain Zhang said that now the base is start-up, and the most important thing is the talent ......"
The militiaman said: "Captain Zhang also said that as long as he is really a talent, he is willing to come to the detachment headquarters to serve the detachment team and the base area, and he will not hesitate to pay for his official position and reward......
"Oh, it's a pity that I didn't think about learning a craft before-otherwise, I would have been able to become an official!"
Hearing this, all the militiamen sighed and regretted their mistakes for a while, and then they left one after another.
With the dispersal of the militia, the news that Mao Zuan became a senior official at the detachment headquarters also spread throughout the villages in an instant, and with the spread of these news, there was also the field divided by Mao Zuan's family in Kuiling Village, and the land was divided into good fields, and it was because Mao Zuan became the head of the ammunition department that he took special care of Yunyun.
"Doesn't it mean that everyone is equal? Is this clearly eccentric? ”
The people of each village suddenly had an opinion, for fear that this situation would also happen in their own village.
"This matter has been explained by Wang Zhishu and Director Lu Yan - Mao Diamond is a model of supporting the army, a typical example, and is qualified to give priority to ...... in equality."
The village chiefs and backbones of each village came forward to reassure the people at the first time and said: "Don't feel unfair, everyone used to plant land for the landlord, but half of the grain that was planted with hard work was directly taken away by the landlord, why didn't you shout that it was unfair?"
People, you have to be content, besides, if you really feel unfair, you can also rely on your ability to find Captain Zhang to be an official, even if you have a relative who has been appreciated by Captain Zhang, can't Captain Zhang take care of your family? ”
“……”
Hearing this, the villagers were speechless, and then the case was annoyed that they hadn't been able to learn a craft in the first place, and some people thought that a relative outside the base area was very good at something, and they all started to think carefully.
"Captain, in the past two days, the villagers in various villages have complained about the unfairness of our detachment, a bit too much......"
When Wang Changtian and Lu Yan came back, they were a little worried and reported to Zhang Ran about the people's grievances caused by Mao Diamond becoming the minister of ammunition and the detachment taking care of his family.
"Let them complain, there is absolutely fair things in this world!"
Zhang Ran said that this situation had long been expected by him - not only ordinary people, but in fact, everyone is the same, not suffering from poverty, but suffering from injustice, and there is no way to do it!
It's nature!
"But in this way, the people's hearts that we have managed to unite with great difficulty may be affected......"
This is the focus of Wang Changtian and Lu Yan's worries, after all, they went to several villages today, because of the impact of this incident, many people were a little passive and slacking off!
"It's okay, although this matter may affect the people's hearts, but compared to the benefits that the villagers get from following our Eighth Route Army, it is insignificant - and the villagers must always see the contrast, so that they can have greater motivation!"
A bowl of water is flat, of course, at the beginning, it can make the people have a greater sense of belonging to the Eighth Route Army, but after a long time, it will make the villagers have stronger inertia, and in the long run, it will be beneficial and harmless.
Zhang Ran, who is familiar with history, knows this very well, so he is not worried about the backlash caused by the hair diamond incident at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged it that way.
It has been more than 20 days since the base area first went to Ma's house, and it has been more than 10 days since the land was divided.
Although the detachment has been supported by the villagers of Shili and Eight Townships, only Mao Zuan, who is really capable and willing to serve, is the only one who does artillery battles, and he was reluctant to come at first - why?
Because Mao Drill has the skill of doing artillery battles, he is slightly better than the ordinary villagers, so even if he doesn't follow the detachment, he can still live.
And those villagers who fully supported the detachment from the beginning were either tenants of the landlord's family or long-term workers, and if there was no detachment, they would only be inferior to dogs.
So they simply have no other way out than to support the detachment!
If the detachment is compared to an enterprise, and the people in the ten miles and eight townships are the workers in the enterprise, and if they want to barely maintain the operation of the enterprise, it is enough to rely on these workers.
But if you want to grow and grow, you must have more talents, such as people like Mao Diamond!
But these people are easy and never want to come, so Zhang Ran has to think about it!
Now it's time to erect the rough drill as a typical example!
He was appointed as a second lieutenant, given him a high military salary, and his living treatment in the headquarters was higher than that of ordinary people, and his family also enjoyed special treatment, and deliberately let people see it, and everyone knew it......
What Zhang Ran wants is to make the matter of Mao Diamond play the effect of buying a horse bone!
He hopes that by doing so, he can attract some talents to come over, not to mention any really talented people, even if he attracts some craftsmen who are useful to the detachment like Mao Dan, it will be done!
There is no way out of a pool of stagnant water, and sometimes, there must be a catfish!
Moreover, compared to the fact that the people have made some complaints in the past few days, in fact, Zhang Ran is still taking a greater risk!
Compared with the Chairman of the Committee's troops, the Eighth Route Army is a grass platform team, weapons and equipment, clothing, logistics, etc., which are completely incomparable.
But there is one thing that the chairman's troops are completely incomparable with the Eighth Route Army, that is, strict discipline!
Like Zhang Ran, as soon as he touched his mouth, he sealed Mao Zuan as an official, which is definitely a violation of discipline, and he may be unlucky when he will be.
But Zhang Ran can't help it now.
The reason why he is engaged in pulling troops from bases is entirely because he knows that in this era, if he relies on himself, he will not be able to survive at all, unless he has a group of people who hug him.
Who to give the official title to, he can't find anyone to go if he wants to find the organization's approval, what can he do?
On the other hand, now that the talent does not jump out by himself, he does not have the financial resources to attract talents with a high salary, so he can only use this official who does not need money to attract talents!
As for the coming of the Eighth Road in the future, to investigate these things or something, Zhang Ran felt that he was still worried about how to explain where he came from.
But now Zhang Ran can't take care of so much, so he can only take one step at a time.
