Giving such a big gift, there must be a plan, Zhuang Jihua never believed in pie in the sky, this self-taught first went to school in Xichang, then his vision must be different from the ordinary Yi toast.

"Respect Mr. Tusi, the Southwest Development Team wants to build a factory and build roads in this area, and I hope that Mr. Tusi can greatly assist." Zhuang Jihua began to test him.

"It's naturally a good thing that General Zhuang came to build a factory and build roads, but what can we Yi people get?" Self-study asked rhetorically.

"This benefit is great," Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly: "Let's talk about road construction, road construction needs migrant workers, Yi people can come to the construction site to work, earn wages, after the road is repaired, merchants will flock to come, the flow of goods is smooth, the things produced by the Yi people can be sold farther away, and the price can rise; In addition to the establishment of this factory, the Yi people can enter the factory to work, get a salary, workers want to live, must buy goods, the residents here are mainly Yi people, they don't buy from the Yi people, who do they buy? These are all benefits to the Yi people. ”

"It's not that I don't understand the benefits of industry to the locality, the general represents the national political axe, and I naturally support the cause that the political axe wants to develop," said with a sigh of embarrassment at the beginning of his self-study, "but I don't have the energy to pay attention to these now." ”

"Is there something wrong with Toast?" Zhuang Jihua said in his heart.

"Five years ago, my father was angry with the Jin family who was persuaded by Lu, and the year before last, my uncle and the Jin family were killed, and two months ago, the caravan we sent met the people of the Jin family in Dongchuan, and they killed six of them, and all the goods were robbed, and I must avenge this revenge." At the beginning of self-study, he hated and said: "Can the general report to the national political axe, and ask the national political axe to severely punish the Jin family and avenge my Li Xi Yi people." ”

Lu persuasion, Zhuang Jihua's first thought of this is this area, this is a county in Yunnan, rich in minerals, Li Siguang's exploration team once went there.

Seeing that Zhuang Jihua was contemplating, Ren Naiqiang thought that Zhuang Jihua was going to agree, so he was a little panicked, approached Zhuang Jihua and whispered: "The Jin family of Lu persuasion is not easy to mess with, they have a close relationship with Long Yun." ”

When he first saw Ren Naiqiang's actions, he said coldly: "Why does the general have concerns, it seems that the general is not really willing to help us Yi people." ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help laughing: "Since Tusi is making the law of agitation, the Jin family seems to be a Yi person, I want to help you, isn't that involved in the Yi people's fight against the enemy." ”

After studying at the beginning, he immediately retorted: "The Jin family's robbery of past merchants is purely a robbery, shouldn't the national political axe be punished?" ”

"Of course it should be punished," Zhuang Jihua said: "But that is the matter of the magistrate, Lu Quanquan is under the jurisdiction of Yunnan, Tusi can send someone to Kunming to complain, Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Yun is a Yi person, and he will definitely be able to call the shots for you." ”

"I won't do the stupid thing of going to the wolf's den to sue the wolf, Long Yun and the Jin family are relatives, and the woman of the Jin family's current toast is the cousin of the Long Yun family." Said resentfully at the beginning of self-study.

Zhuang Jihua understood but frowned, this matter is really difficult to handle, and after thinking about it, he said: "This matter is complicated, Lu persuasion is under the jurisdiction of Yunnan, Sichuan Province political axe is not controllable, the central political axe is to be managed, and it can only be managed through Yunnan Provincial political axe, so it is impossible to bypass the Yunnan Provincial political axe through formal channels." ”

Speaking of this, he regretted his stall hand: "Since Tusi has studied in Xichang, of course I understand that I am not lying, if Long Yun wants to maintain the Jin family, even if the central government has no choice." ”

The face of the beginning of self-study suddenly turned pale, and the heavy blood debt of the family has been weighing on his heart for a few years, getting heavier and heavier, making him restless, the reason why he received Zhuang Jihua so ceremoniously is because he came from the central political axe, as long as he said that he would be able to avenge the family, but he didn't expect it.......

"Without you, I would have taken revenge!" At the beginning of self-study, I turned around and wanted to go.

"Why doesn't Mr. Toast wait for me to finish?" Zhuang Jihua stopped him for a long time, stopped at the beginning of his self-study, turned to look at him, and showed a hopeful look.

"If the regular channels can't get through, then you can only go through other channels," Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "Tusi can complain to General Liu Wenhui, just say that Lu persuaded the Jin family to rob your caravan, and General Liu Wenhui sent an official document to Kunming Longyun, asking him to investigate and deal with it,"

At the beginning of his self-study, he couldn't help but refute, Zhuang Jihua shook his head to stop him: "If it is according to what you say, then Long Yun will definitely not deal with the Jin family, but he can no longer help the Jin family openly." In this way, foreign assistance will be excluded between you and the Jin family, and the rest will depend on your own ability. The Yi people have always had a tradition of fighting enemies, and Long Yun also knows this, so as long as the matter between you does not involve political power, I estimate that Long Yun will not care, so even if you kill the Jin family Tusi, Long Yun will not be able to say anything. ”

"General, you don't understand the Yi people," said with a wry smile at the beginning of self-study: "We Yi people will not watch our family being bullied." ”

"Tusi, you don't understand officials," Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "The duty of officials is to maintain the place and the law, so as long as General Liu Wenhui reacts, I guess Long Yun will not blatantly favor the Jin family, of course, there will still be help in secret." ”

What will be the relationship with Long Yun in the future, Zhuang Jihua doesn't know, he will definitely have to deal with Yunnan, Panzhihua is located at the junction of Kang and Yunnan, and there are two provinces of minerals, but if the Jin family is so strong, it will definitely be unfavorable to the development of Panzhihua, if you can teach him a lesson secretly, let them also tend to themselves, it will be of great help to Panzhihua's future.

Zhuang Jihua's words made the self-study initially tempted, without Long Yun's help, the strength of the Jin family and Li Xi's own family is almost the same, if it weren't for the Jin family's support in Longyun in recent years, the strength of their own family in Luquan would still be above them.

"What can the general do for me?" Self-study asked at the beginning.

"How about I'll give you another hundred rifles?" Zhuang Jihua said.

"Two hundred, plus two machine guns." Immediately increase the size at the beginning of self-study.

"Okay." Zhuang Jihua agreed without hesitation.

This episode Zhuang Jihua didn't know what it would bring, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, the vendetta of the two families was so simple? Will it affect the construction of Panzhihua? Zhuang Jihua has no bottom in his heart.

However, everything went well, and at the beginning of the self-study, he announced in public that he would fully cooperate with the development team, and Zhuang Jihua was not stingy, in addition to the two hundred guns and two machine guns that he secretly promised, he also promised to provide a construction fund of one million for the Yi people to help the Yi people develop their economy.

His own actions have affected the Lu family, since Lu Anyou was killed by Xu Ying, the strength of the Lu family has been greatly weakened, and they no longer dare to fight against the political axe, the current Tusi of the Lu family has not waited for Zhuang Jihua to come to the door and ran to Huili to announce to Zhuang Jihua that he will fully cooperate with the development team, Zhuang Jihua did not wronged him, and still returned with a construction fund of one million.

What worries Zhuang Jihua is how to deal with the two Yi girls, no one around him can speak Yi, Ren Naiqiang gave him an idea to send them to Xichang to study, Xichang has a Yi Han school, let them enter the school to study, and by the way, they will learn Chinese. Zhuang Jihua immediately entrusted the two girls to him, Wu Ziniu was worried about whether he would run away, Zhuang Jihua smiled and said that he was relieved to run away, and then asked rhetorically if he had taken a fancy to that? However, they are still young, and they will have to wait at least eighteen years old to get married. Ren Naiqiang shook his head and said that this kind of gift will not run, because they do not represent individuals, but the entire family; His smile was very secretive, which made Zhuang Jihua very puzzled.

In mid-August, Zhuang Jihua held a working meeting in Huili, and Hu Shuhua, the head of the steel group, and Lu Zuofu, the head of shipping, made a special trip from Yucheng to attend the meeting.

"After a month of exploration, today we have to make a preliminary plan for the development of the Kang-Yunnan border, and after this plan is made, I will return to Yucheng, and I will still speak freely according to the old rules." After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he sat down and waited for the heads of each group to speak.

"I'll talk about water transport first," Lu Zuofu first got up and spoke: "After receiving the telegram, I organized three expeditions to inspect the shipping of the Jinsha River, and we initially came to the conclusion that the Jinsha River Water Transport Division can achieve it, but the water flow of the Jinsha River is turbulent, the channel is relatively narrow, and there are many reefs, so in order to ensure the safety of the channel, the channel must be cleaned up first. More accurate estimates require more surveys. ”

Li Shutian, the leader of the road traffic group, continued: "The difficulties of land transportation are very great, first of all, the Xikang area is mountainous, watery, there are three rivers in Huili, Anning River, Kuancheng River, Jinchuan River, Jinsha River, there is no bridge from here to Xichang with the car, and there are many mountains here, this highway construction has added difficulties, so our plan is to rely on the existing road to renovate, first expand the avenue from Huili to Xichang, and expand the current two-horse parallel to two cars in parallel, and build roads and bridges need a lot of cement. So we suggested building a cement plant in Huili so that we could get the nearest materials. ”

"We also propose to build a cement plant," said Cao Ruizhi, a water conservancy expert: "Hydropower stations also need a lot of high-grade cement, and steel plants also need cement, so cement plants have to be built first." This month, we traveled to several major rivers in Huili and Yanbian areas, and we selected several sites where hydropower stations can be built, namely Eagle's Beak, Pulong, Fengying, and Baiguo, the geology of these sites basically meets the requirements for building hydropower stations, but they also have the same problems, and the transportation is inconvenient. Further situation, that is, to choose the location, it is necessary to further find out the geological situation, which will take about half a year to ten months. ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded, this is a big gap from what he hoped, but it is about the same as he estimated, it is already very good to be able to do this step in a month, Hu Shuhua took out their ore analysis report on Chang Longqing and they brought back last time and said: "Our laboratory has analyzed the ore brought back by Professor Chang, and our conclusion is that this is a very rare metal symbiotic ore, which contains rare and precious metals such as vanadium, chin, gallium, scandium, etc., which is the most difficult to smelt an ore, and the current steelmaking equipment and process need to be improved." …”

This is like a thunderbolt exploding above Zhuang Jihua's head, and he has no intention of listening to Hu Shuhua's words, what should he do? To get on the horse or not to get on the horse? No, the previous life has been figured out, proving that it is possible to build a large steel base here; In addition, he can fully imagine how much money is needed, which is estimated to be several times the sum of the Yucheng Iron and Steel Plant or the Qijiang Iron and Steel Plant combined.

After Hu Shuhua finished speaking, Chang Longqing couldn't hold back for a long time, and he stood up excitedly: "We found traces of iron ore in the Yanbian area, and the preliminary estimate is that the iron ore reserves are larger than those in Huili,...。 Also, the second team discovered copper ore ,..., found zinc in xx.... ”

Zhuang Jihua's face showed a hint of bitterness, damn, why did these babies come to this poor country, isn't it good to find a convenient place.

After all the experts finished speaking, they all looked at Zhuang Jihua, they all knew that this decision was not good, the difficulties and benefits were obvious, the difficulties were beyond imagination, but the benefits after success were also beyond imagination.

"To be honest, I can't make up my mind," Zhuang Jihua said slowly: "I didn't expect the difficulties to be so big, you all just talked about his difficulties from the technical level, but there is still a problem, you didn't expect it, workers?" Skilled workers, there are no skilled workers here, all skilled workers must be recruited from outside, for which we have to provide them with housing and other living facilities; Of course, I can try to make up for all of this, but will steel be produced in five years? ”

No one answered, no one dared to make this guarantee, Zhuang Jihua asked again: "What about six years?" ”

Still no one answered, the venue was quiet, Zhuang Jihua was in a dilemma, he looked up at the roof, the old roof was dark and couldn't see clearly.

"Cultural Revolution, how many years do you think the War of Resistance will take?" Hu Shuhua suddenly asked.

"Why do you want eight to ten years," Zhuang Jihua said in his heart that if it weren't for me, it would definitely be eight years, August, how many days, Hirohito announced his surrender, but now I don't know, let's talk about it according to the old timetable first.

"There are about four years or so before the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, plus eight to ten years, that is, twelve to fourteen years, and it takes six to seven years to produce steel, I think it is worth it. We ourselves have no hope of surpassing the city before the outbreak of all-out war, but I am certain that in just ten years, the output of this factory alone will exceed the national steel production. ”

Hu Shuhua was too optimistic, including Zhuang Jihua, no one knew that in the previous life, only the first phase of the steel base lasted for 15 years, and the second phase of the project lasted 20 years, and before he passed, the third phase of the project had not yet ended, but it had already formed a production capacity of 7.8 million tons of steel and nearly 10 million tons of iron, but its time span was as long as 40 years.

"Okay, let's do it," Zhuang Jihua was moved by Hu Shuhua, indeed, he didn't think about surpassing the capital before the outbreak of the war, since this is the case, it is okay to produce steel four or two years ago, he stood up and said: "It's still the old rule, please come up with a project plan, and see where we start first." ”
