Credit is gradually accumulated, and after the work of cutting down the bamboo is completed, Li Shouxian holds a working meeting to transport the bamboo. When the masses learned that the reward for this labor was to transport 100 bamboos to get a pound of salt, some people immediately signed up. Li Shouxian was not in a hurry, he took out another sample for the masses to see, it was white raw fine salt in oil-paper bags. The salt is right in front of you, and the people are quite satisfied with the farm tools they just got, "Can't we still trust Captain Li?" This kind of scene has come out one after another. I was anxious and began to ask when I would start work or how to arrange this labor.

Faced with such a situation, Li Shouxian was very happy in his heart. Although he is now only the leader of the task force, as a graduate of the cadre school, Li Shouxian knows the party's plan for Guangde County. It is not easy to farm in the mountainous areas of the south of the Yangtze River, but you can grow mulberry. The profits of the raw silk trade are huge, and the cadres of the People's Party are well aware. The bottleneck of the restriction is nothing more than the Manchu Qing Dynasty's various checkpoints. There is no such thing as a penny in the base areas of the People's Party. State-owned mulberry plantations and silk factories are even less likely to have all kinds of tax exploitation. Base areas can rely on armed forces to protect their raw silk and directly transport it to Wuhan, Anqing, and Wuhu, where it can be directly traded with foreigners. The money obtained from the transaction was used to purchase machinery and equipment to increase the industrial strength of the base area.

Without exception, the cadres have visited the industrial zone of Fengtai County, the rumbling and roaring machines, all kinds of ingenious designs, although there are not many industrial varieties at this stage, they are the most needed by the base area. Examples include ironware, cement, glass, and electrically powered textile mills. Li Shouxian didn't know much about industry, just because he didn't know much, after seeing this kind of scene, Li Shouxian had a blind trust in industry. He firmly believed that the industrialized base areas would certainly have a bright future. And Li Shouxian himself is one of the cadres who will participate in this bright future.

Among the masses, there are some people that Li Shouxian cares about more. These days, in Li Jiaji's investigation, the working group is constantly gathering intelligence, and several names are appearing more and more in the report. According to the general perception, these people are considered "capable", that is, they occasionally act as brokers, and occasionally pull some business, or do some inexplicable business. There are no big clans in the mountains. Because he is poor, there are not many gods. So these people are particularly conspicuous.

Since Li Shouxian started working on the front line, he has always kept in mind a lesson taught by Chen Ke in the People's Party Cadre School, "Why is China not doing well, and why do people feel so much suffering." One of the most important reasons is that there are too many intermediaries. If the common people want to exchange the fruits of their labor for a better life, they will inevitably be exploited layer by layer by the forces of the government, the gentry, and the party, and in the end, not only will they not be able to achieve a better life, but they will not be able to keep their original life. In the new system we want to establish, power will either go to the state and the government, or to the people's autonomy. Any stratum other than these two must be stripped of the social power they now possess to the point where they are gone. In the future of China, the ruling class will be an alliance of laborers, and those who are not laborers will either honestly shut up and receive some leftovers from starvation. Either that, let's shut them up. ”

Did Li Jiaji's "capable" people choose to be laborers, or do they have other plans? Li Shouxian is ready to wait and see.

When Li Shouxian continued to promote the work with confidence, Ji Ye also had her own considerations for the future, she had begun to get used to the style of the People's Party, she was thinking about how to imitate this model after returning to Zhejiang, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find the exact direction. It is too difficult for a seventeen-year-old girl to rely on simple imagination to construct a social system. First of all, Ji Ye didn't know where the People's Party got so many iron farming tools, in fact, Ji Ye himself didn't know what was going on between pig iron, wrought iron, and white iron. If Ji Ye knew that these farm tools were transported from Wuhan thousands of miles through the logistics system of the People's Party, I was afraid that the little girl would scream in fright.

The workers at the steel plant in Hanyang did not know that the farm tools produced by the factory could be sold to Guangde County, but in fact, the vast majority of the workers at the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, as well as the vast majority of Hubei people, did not know that there was such a place called Guangde County in the present-day Qing Dynasty. Hundreds of miles away are places that are out of reach of ordinary people, and even now with ships, only a few people can travel far away.

Recently, Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant has finally learned more about Anhui, and this understanding is not from the rumors of the Anhui People's Party. Rumors, like myths, don't actually bring the slightest knowledge. A group of Anhui people recently joined the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, and although the leaders were northerners who spoke official dialect, the workers and technicians below were real Anhui people.

From the technical department to the front-line workers, these people are assigned to various positions in the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, and to the surprise of the steel plant workers, the positions of these people will also change, for example, people in the engineering department will enter the front-line work, and those in the technical department will work in the position of engineers.

As for the origin of these people, the workers of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant used it as a talking point after tea and dinner. The governor of Huguang, Lord Zhao Erxun, could not help but send people to pay close attention. Zhao Erxun is not a "chick" in officialdom. Since Sheng Xuanhuai hurried from Beijing to Wuhan during the Spring Festival and specially asked a large fleet to pull away more than 100,000 tons of steel, he knew that there was a deal hidden behind this matter. The only one who can dispatch such a fleet is now the BJP. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear that the New Army, which had been captured by the People's Party, had "killed" Anhui and returned to Xuzhou.

Lord Zhao Erxun scoffed at such tricks, and became a prisoner of the People's Party when the New Army was fully armed. How can you fight after being a prisoner? Lie to whom!

However, Lord Zhao Erxun, as the general of the defeated army, was still the first one in the three-way encirclement and suppression to be wiped out. God knows what the People's Party thought, and actually released all the prisoners of the Hubei New Army. Therefore, Lord Zhao Erxun is the most unqualified person to point fingers at this.

But what happened next, Lord Zhao Erxun couldn't help but be vigilant. The Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, which has been operating poorly, was funded by Sheng Xuanhuai three years ago. Now Sheng Xuanhuai has a great say in the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant. The People's Party transported more than 100,000 tons of steel, making it clear that it was the ransom paid by Beiyang to the People's Party. Not long after the fleet left, Sheng Xuanhuai placed a large number of Anhui people into the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant.

Zhao Erxun once asked about this matter, and Sheng Xuanhuai replied with a wry smile: "These are some Anhui businessmen, ready to invest in Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant. ”

After that, Sheng Xuanhuai even put wine on the table and invited Zhao Erxun to get together with the "Anhui businessmen".

Where are the Anhui businessmen, the group of northerners who speak fluent Hebei or Tianjin dialect, most of whom have worked in the "Tianjin Machinery Bureau" built by the Beiyang Naval Division. They claimed to have come to Anhui to earn a living after the collapse of the Tianjin Machinery Bureau. Zhao Erxun looked at the group of "chaotic parties" who behaved generously, and then looked at Sheng Xuanhuai's wry expression. Then it dawned on me. The Anhui rebels coveted the steel of the Hanyang factory, and they sent people to study and investigate.

But even if he knew this, Lord Zhao Erxun decided to turn a blind eye. The Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant was funded by the imperial court, and now the main investor is Sheng Xuanhuai of Beiyang. What does this have to do with Lord Zhao Erxun? If the Anhui rebels attack Wuhan, Lord Zhao Erxun can arrest these people first. But the People's Party colluded with Beiyang, if Lord Zhao Erxun took the initiative to arrest these people, and then the enraged Anhui rebel party sent troops to attack Wuhan, wouldn't this be unpleasant out of thin air?

Since he had this kind of thought, Lord Zhao Erxun completely let go. The "Anhui merchants" bought a large piece of land in Hanyang, but Lord Zhao Erxun turned a blind eye. The "Anhui businessman" came to him and asked him to approve, and he approved it. Even the "pen fee" paid by the "Anhui businessman" according to the rules, Lord Zhao Erxun also accepted it calmly. Lord Zhao is very smart, since the Anhui rebels are willing to do this, it means that they do not want to attack Wuhan by force for the time being. There is such a group of people in Wuhan, on the contrary, they can be used as a weather vane to investigate the ideas of the chaotic party in Anhui at any time.

However, when the "Anhui businessmen" planned the land as a whole, built water towers and water pipes, built sewer systems, built roads, and began to build residential areas, Zhao Erxun was really surprised. In his view, the rebels have always been saboteurs, not builders. The performance of the Anhui rebel party has always been completely different from that of other rebel parties that only know how to incite rebellion. Treat wounded prisoners of war, release them, and even not rob them of their private property. Don't talk about disrupting the party, the officers and men will definitely not be able to do it to such an extent. Lord Zhao Erxun knew about the Hubei New Army, and although it was defeated by the People's Party, when it came to the People's Party, the Hubei New Army did not have any hatred from the bottom of their hearts, and many people even admired the righteousness of the People's Party.

This is also one of the reasons why Lord Zhao Erxun is unwilling to forcibly attack the "Anhui businessmen", if the People's Party comes under the banner of "only killing Zhao Erxun", Zhao Erxun does not think that the Hubei New Army will sincerely defend itself.

"Lord Zhao, there was another accident when the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant was producing steel today. Several workers were burned to death, one of whom was the Anhui Rebellion. The spies under his command excitedly reported the latest news to Zhao Erxun.

Hearing this news, Zhao Erxun was overjoyed, "Oh? Are those rebellious parties still working? ”

"They've been working. God knows what they think, several people have already died, and these rebels are still not afraid of death. "The spies are disguised as factory workers, so they know a lot about steel mills. Working in temperatures of thousands of degrees, the melted iron juice emits a suffocating heat wave, and workers often have to watch the furnace and walk over the overpass above the blast furnace. If you accidentally fall down, you will die. Even if you are very careful, when the molten iron and molten steel are released, there will often be a splash of steel, and if the thing splashes on the body, it will either kill or injure, and there is no defense at all.

"Are these people really here to learn steelmaking?" Zhao Erxun was very puzzled by this.

The spy may not be familiar with the characteristics of Lord Zhao Erxun's speech, or he has to participate in labor in the factory, so he replied with a little admiration: "These chaotic parties are serious about learning." A lot of people are already doing a good job in the steel mills. ”

"What? Could it be that the rebellious party has already bewitched many workers? Zhao Erxun was taken aback.

The spies didn't know how to answer, and the rebels in Anhui did not encourage the workers to revolt. Through hard work, they gradually became quite capable members of the steel mill. Since they do a good job and are kind, when they encounter the affairs of ordinary workers seeking advice, these chaotic parties never hide their personal interests and can always seriously answer the questions of ordinary workers. Naturally, the workers will be convinced.

I don't know why, the spy disguised as a worker feels that no matter how he explains, Lord Zhao Erxun in front of him may not really understand this matter. After thinking about it, the spy replied according to Zhao Erxun's meaning: "The chaotic party has not yet begun to bewitch the workers, but the villain feels that they are almost about to start bewitching the workers. ”
