He Jinhan was obviously comforted, he knew that Zhuang Jihua was under great pressure, and there was a refugee resettlement in the Shandong Theater nearby, and it was winter. The whole winter needs political relief, and this pressure is very great; with GC. The negotiations went very poorly, which seriously delayed the preparations for war in the theater, and Zhuang Jihua had not been to the front line until now: there were more distant issues, how the two parties coordinated operations, and post-war planning in North China. and so on, all on Zhuang Jihua's shoulders.

"Chūn ploughs the autumn harvest, and this year is sad. We won't be able to relax until May or June next year. Zhuang Jihua stood up and clapped his hands, looking at the white earth, his brows were still tightly locked, although the social reform was carried out smoothly, but the practical difficulties in life were still very serious, and in the next few months, tens of millions of kilograms of food would be needed alone. Grain prices in the market have begun to rise, and in order to control prices, He Siyuan has begun to prepare for price control.

Wang Guobin has obviously lost a lot of weight, in the past few months, he has gone all out to devote himself to the reorganization, the reorganization of the troops has been carried out very smoothly, the group army has been formed, but the above still has not corrected him, he also knows his weaknesses, although Zhuang Jihua strongly recommended, but still did not respond.

"The biggest problem now is food," Wang Guobin said, "This time the area is fertile land, and the situation in the mountainous areas is even more difficult. ”

The training unit also participated in the relief to help the refugees rebuild their homes, but for a while, food could not be provided. From Wang Guobin downwards, all two meals a day, the saved military rations were distributed to the refugees, and he knew the situation very well.

Zhuang Jihua looked at the black smoke burning near the village in the distance, which was very eye-catching on the cold and silent field. Seeing this, Wang Guobin explained: "It was a coke plant, and many of the coal mines around it bought coal from the coal mine and fired it into coke. ”

"Oh." Zhuang Jihua was a little interested: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

Wang Guobin didn't stop it, but the look on his face was a little bitter, and Zhuang Jihua hesitated slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

"These charcoal factories are only maintaining now," Wang Guobin apparently understood: "Originally, most of the coke fired by the charcoal factories was sold to the Japanese trading company, and a small part was sold to steel mills in Shanghai and other places. Now that Shanghai's trade routes are cut off, there is nowhere to sell the burned coke, and dozens of charcoal factories have been closed in the entire Zaozhuang area. ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled when he heard this: "Shanghai is broken, Wuhan is still there, and it can be sold to Wuhan" Jinan also needs it. The Resources Committee has sent people to investigate the resources of Shandong, Laiwu and other places have a large number of iron ores, and are preparing to build a steelmaking plant in Jinan, and Deng Xihou and they are ready to invest. ”

"But far water can't quench your thirst." He Jinhan shook his head and said: "When the charcoal factory is closed, the lives of the workers have become a problem, and how many charcoal factory workers are there in Zaozhuang?" ”

"This is not very clear", Wang Guobin is not clear about the specific situation, after all, he is just a soldier: "There should be tens of thousands of people, recently Zaozhuang's recruitment point has brought a lot of charcoal factories and coal miners, most of them because the company is closed or closed down." ”

"It's not going to work, it's absolutely not going to work." Zhuang Jihua muttered. These companies cannot be allowed to go bankrupt, and they must find a way to get them to work, but in order to start work, we must first solve the problem of product sales.

He Jinhan looked at Zhuang Jihua, not knowing what way he could come up with Zhuang Jihua frowning and getting into the car. Signal the jeep to drive towards the village. The village is connected to the road by a charcoal slag-paved xiǎo road, which is only accessible to one car.

The charcoal factory is located at the entrance of the village, the factory is not big, in front of it is xiǎo yard, there are two or three wheelbarrows in the yard, there are two or three potters, who are bored sitting on the wheelbarrow chōu smoke. When Zhuang Jihua walked into the factory, the potters were a little stupid and didn't know what these soldiers were doing here.

"tǐng idle, why is the business not good?" Zhuang Jihua greeted the kiln worker when he entered the mén, and the kiln worker didn't know what was going on, and looked at him a little bewildered. However, the military discipline shown recently is much better than before the day himself came, and many houses in the village were repaired by them, and they are not afraid.

The situation in the courtyard quickly attracted the attention of the house, and the two men quickly came out of the house and called the chief with fists in the distance. Zhuang Jihua looked at them, both of them were wearing long shirts, but the one in the back had eyes and looked polite: the one in front had a beard and a big mouth.

The beard introduced himself as the owner of the charcoal factory, surnamed He "Boss He is an old Jianghu, and when he saw the posture, he knew that the people were extraordinary, and he wondered in his heart that he didn't know what they were going to do, so he hurriedly took out a cigarette in a hurry.

"Boss He. Don't be busy, my name is Zhuang Jihua, just come here to have a look, let's talk, nothing else, let the guy pull a stool. Let's talk right here. Zhuang Jihua saw that He Laoben was a little panicked, and explained his intention clearly in a few words.

Boss He was a little stupid, Zhuang Jihua, Commander Zhuang, and the god of war came to his xiǎo charcoal factory. Or the bookkeeper in the back reacted quickly. Diesheng asked Zhuang Jihua to sit in the house, but Zhuang Jihua shook his head. insisted that it was in the yard, and Boss He hurriedly asked the charcoal worker to bring a few benches. The charcoal worker brought a stool and was about to leave, Zhuang Jihua left them behind, and Boss He didn't know what Zhuang Jihua was going to do.

"Come, chōu smoke." Zhuang Jihua took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to a few charcoal workers: "You're welcome, Shandong heroes, drink wine in a big bowl, and eat ròu in large pieces." Hehe. ”

"Wencao, you're talking about Shuibo Liangshan." He Zhenhan smiled: "Boss He is a law-abiding businessman"

"You don't understand this", Zhuang Jihua joked: "As soon as the Water Margin comes out, Shandong heroes will become famous all over the world." The image of Shandong people is Li Dai, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song. ”

"According to what you say, Shandong Dahan are very reckless?"

"No, it's straightforward, straightforward, not so many huāhuā intestines", Zhuang Jihua said: "Despise the powerful, and if you are uneven, you will say yes." ”

Boss He and the bookkeeper smiled, not knowing what to say, Zhuang Jihua looked at it: "Boss He, how is the business?" ”

Boss He smiled bitterly when he heard the words and shook his head: "Look, if you want to change to previous years, there are a lot of guests here who come to ask for goods, but now there is no one, you have to say that it is off, what should you do, guys?" Everybody has to eat. ”

"Where are all the previous products sold?" Zhuang Jihua still kept smiling.

Boss He smiled bitterly and looked at the account room. Neither of them spoke, Zhuang Jihua smiled: "There's nothing to say." Did you sell it to the "Day" himself? ”

Boss He nodded bitterly: "If you don't sell it to them, who will you sell it to, our factory can only sell to Zaozhuang's Riben Trading Company, so there are occasional Shanghai merchants in the big factory, and you can sell sporadically." ”

"Sporadic selling points, why are they sporadic?" He Jinhan was a little puzzled.

"The day himself stipulates how many tons each charcoal factory should sell to the trading company each year, and the day himself is very jīng, and they have calculated the output of each plant, so most of your charcoal can only be sold to him." Mr. Bookkeeper explained, "We are also reluctant to sell to the Ri himself, and the price he gives is much lower than that given by the Shanghai merchants. We have almost no profit. ”。

"Hmm." So who are you selling to now? …… Zhuang Jihua asked again, "It's mainly the big families around." They need to roast the fire in winter, but the xiǎo devils have just been driven away, and it is more difficult for even large families. Sell as much as you can, barely maintaining...... Boss He sighed.

"How many charcoal factories are there around here?" How many workers are there? ”。 Zhuang Jihua asked again.

"There are about 100 charcoal factories from Zaozhuang to Yanzhou, and there are seven or eight kilns in the big ones, most of which are xiǎo charcoal factories like me, and the number of workers is about 10,000 people...... Boss He has been doing this for a long time. The market of this line is very clear, and the numbers are quoted when you open your mouth.

"How many charcoal plants are still in operation?" ……

"Not much, several large charcoal factories in the city have stopped production." Like Yanzhou's Tangjia Charcoal Plant "Dahua Charcoal Plant." were all blown up" There are hundreds of workers in both charcoal factories.

Yanzhou was a place where the fighting was more intense, and the city was more destroyed and almost completely destroyed. Post-war reconstruction was merely the rebuilding of dwellings. Comparatively speaking, the destruction of Zaozhuang was much lighter. The preservation of the city is much more complete. However, the city has much more charcoal for heating, and it is impossible for the big factories to burn charcoal for residents, and they mainly provide industrial charcoal.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, indicating that he understood, and he turned his head and asked the concubines, "What is the situation at home?" Is there any winter food? ”

Several charcoal workers looked at each other, hesitated for a while, whether the young people were still bold, and one of the young charcoal workers said: "There is food." It's just not enough. If you can't eat, you won't starve. Suffocated to death. ，。

"Brother Wang has a lot of family, and the little food given by Zheng Fǔ is not enough...... Another charcoal worker looked at a year-old charcoal worker. Nono said.

"How can it not be enough?" ，。 Zhuang Jihua's eyes suddenly became stern: "How much grain have you shared?" Is someone embezzling? ……

"No, no, the food is the same for every family." , Mr. Ledger hurriedly explained: "Lao Wang's family has many children, according to the regulations." Children under the age of 16 were halved, and the old Wang family had six children. There are two old ones above, if it is just like this, the food is barely enough, but as soon as the food is distributed, the old mother is sick, and the family has no money, so she can only sell part of the grain. "Didn't the village committee and the village party branch help?" ”。 Zhuang Jihua frowned.

"What can the village committee do?" The party branch will not cure the disease", . Boss He smiled bitterly: "The party branch invited a doctor from the army, but the doctor recommended that he be sent to Zaozhuang Hospital for treatment, and he was treated in Zaozhuang Hospital for a month......

, "There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck." Zhuang Jihua sighed and stood up, this is not something that the grassroots party branch and village committee can solve. Only the development of production:, "Boss He, how do you hope that the government can help you?" Of course. Don't you say, let the army buy your charcoal? It can only be in policy. ”。

Boss He and the account room looked at each other, and after hesitating for a moment, Boss He said slowly: "I know that the country is also difficult, and it is already rare to distribute so much food to the villagers, if you want to say help" Can you help us find a market, we have coal in Zaozhuang, and the charcoal burned is high-quality charcoal, whether it is heating or steelmaking, it is very good......

Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, He Jinhan thought for a while and said: "The Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant in Wuhan has started, you can send someone to see if they want to ......

"Junshan, this is not the way,. Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "They are xiǎo factories." Travel expenses are a big burden, and now they lack middlemen. In the past, the day himself acted as this corner, but now there is such a link, and I think that the government can temporarily act as this link. Let Governor He consider that the Department of Commerce should come forward to set up a state-owned company to be responsible for purchasing the charcoal from the charcoal mills in various places, and in addition, it is necessary to step up support for middlemen, and with Mr. Jingjiang, let the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China set up branches in Jinan and Zaozhuang to provide interest-free loans to these charcoal factories to help them tide over the difficulties......

Boss He and the bookkeeper were immediately overjoyed, but Zhuang Jihua's tone changed: "However, Boss He." Your factory had better be expanded and the equipment should be updated. Otherwise, it will be defeated in the market competition. ”。

Boss He smiled bitterly and was about to answer. Lin Yueying ran over from outside, and Jiāo sent a telegram to Zhuang Jihua. After Zhuang Jihua saw it, he said to He Jinhan: "The chairman of the committee is coming to Jinan, and Chief of Staff Xu will let us go back to Jinan as soon as possible......

After speaking, he sent the telegram to He Jinhan, turned to Wang Guobin and said, "Commander Wang, Yanzhou will not go." I'm telling you, you have two months left at most. In two months, I will see a brave and combative army......

"Please rest assured, Commander! …… Wang Guobin replied loudly.

"Good! ”。 Zhuang Jihua walked up to Wang Guobin and slapped him twice on the shoulder: "You have been with me for sixteen years, and this time you are shouldering a heavy responsibility." Don't let me down......

Wang Guobin knew what this meant. His acting commander has never been taken down, Zhuang Jihua called several times, but he couldn't approve it, and always said that his qualifications were too shallow, so. Zhuang Jihua hoped that he would train the troops well and take credit for removing the pronouns.

However, the newly established 51st Group Army still had a big problem, the biggest problem was the equipment, the "Japan" himself was very mean to the puppet army, each company only had one tǐng light machine gun, no mortars, light weapons were made in Hanyang or Zhongzheng, and there were almost no 38 guns.

The 51 st Group Army has incorporated 780,000 puppet troops, and both rifles and machine guns have to be re-equipped, and the equipment list has been reported, but the equipment has not yet arrived, and this has seriously affected the training, and some tactical training cannot be carried out, such as the use of bazookas and 60 mortars in the company's offensive and defensive tactics.

This incident also gave Zhuang Jihua a headache, he had called Hong Junqi several times, asking him to send weapons and equipment as soon as possible, but Hong Junqi also called back several times. The chairman of the committee has not yet approved it.

Wang Guobin had no choice, the 59th Army was a unit of the original 33rd Group Army, and one division was made in Chongqing. He had no choice but to transfer some weapons from this division, and let each base take turns to use them.

Zhuang Jihua and they came suddenly, and suddenly, and they didn't know if what they just said would be fulfilled, Boss He and the charcoal workers looked at the distant convoy in confusion, and then the village committee of the village knew that the charcoal factory was coming, and when they came, Zhuang Jihua and they had already gone away.
