Chapter 122 and 3 Shanxi Construction

ps: It's not easy ^_^ to finally get out of Monday's second shift

The Target Plane, at the end of July 1943, was a day that would be constantly mentioned for generations to come. Many experts and scholars of later generations, especially foreign experts, spent a lot of time and energy studying it, but they still could not understand why, in just a few months from July 1943 to the end of 1943, the entire territory of Yanhuang Shaanxi Province and some places in Shanxi Province completed the construction and renovation of roads, railways, factories, villages, small water conservancy, agricultural irrigation facilities, etc. Believe it or not"!

Let us now temporarily turn our attention back to the village of Yuqiao in Shaanxi Province and the western part of Shanxi Province at the end of July 1943.

Early in the morning, Ma Sanshan relied on the biological clock cultivated by years of hard work, opened his eyes on time at six o'clock in the morning, patted his face, bent down and got out of bed and walked out of the tent with a basin, and then fetched water to wash his face and eat breakfast.

"Brother Ma, did you sleep well yesterday?" Li Laohan asked as he walked.

"Brother Li, you slept so sweetly, and now you are full of energy!" After Ma Sanshan finished speaking, he raised his arm and brightened his thin muscles.

"Hehe, great, you have the strength to work, go, keep up!!"

"Hey, I'm coming!"

Half an hour later, the edges of the village, in the fields, on the mountains and in the ravines around Yuqiao Village were full of peasants working hard, many of whom were sweating and working hard.

"Brother Li, I'm a good hand at working in the fields!" Seeing that he was assigned to the housing construction team, Ma Sanshan recommended himself to Li Laohan.

"Hehe, Brother Ma, look into the distance, what's in the field?" Li Laohan heard that Ma Sanshan wanted to go to the farmland group to help, and asked with a slight smile.

"In the fields?" Ma Sanshan did not doubt him, raised his eyes to look at the farmland outside the village, and saw that every short distance, there was a strange-looking machine operating under the manipulation of people, making a strange sound of "sudden".

"What's that?" Ma Sanshan, who didn't know what it was, asked humbly.

"That's the agricultural machine that the border government has equipped us with, I can't remember the specific name, alas! I'm old and I don't have a good memory. Li Laohan teased himself and continued, "However, with those machines, it really saves manpower, the work that five great guys can do in a day can now be completed by one person in a morning, good thing~~ Tsk, but it is too fuel-intensive, and the village has to send someone to the county to transport some gasoline back every once in a while." ”

"That's it~~~" Ma Sanshan didn't understand much, and he didn't know any farm machinery, but he heard one thing, that is, he didn't need to go to the field to help with the work, so he still responded very politely.

"Brother Ma, although I have assigned you to my house-building group, don't underestimate building a house, there are many curves and curves here, have you built a house at home?" Li Laohan asked.

"How can I have spare money to do that, I have to pay seventy percent of the harvest per mu as rent, and I can't finish the work in the field every day!" Li Laohan's words touched some of Ma Sanshan's thoughts, and the latter shook his head and said.

"Don't be discouraged, we used to live a bitter life, that is, in the past six months, we have suddenly changed for the better. In the future, when the army of the border government recovers your hometown, you will be able to go back and live a good life like us! Li Laohan patted Ma Sanshan's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Okay, let's get down to business." Building a house is a big deal in our place, and I have been a mason for half my life, and I have been living by building houses for the landlord's family, and now I can finally build houses for myself and other relatives with mud legs. Hehe, when it comes to building a house, we have an old saying here, called 'half the work of the house'! ”

"Half the house? What does that mean? Ma Sanshan heard this dialect for the first time and asked.

"That is to say, building a house is actually very troublesome, you have to pick a platform, play a kiln, draw a groove, go down the wall, jump, build a wall, and set up a sill, a door, a window, a door box, a tree frame, a beam, nail the eaves of the bed, cover the tile, powder wall, and then backfill!" Speaking of his own business, Li Laohan was full of red light and kept saying.

"So troublesome?" Ma Sanshan listened a little big.

"Haha, yes, okay, let's talk while we do, little Shunzi!! Hurry up and set off firecrackers! Li Laohan's voice spread far away.

"Okay, Uncle Li, I've been waiting for a long time, just take a look!"

"Crackling, crackling~~" As the fuse was ignited, the lively sound of firecrackers rang out.

"Firecrackers sound, villains avoid, everyone starts to work on the beam!" Seeing that everything was going smoothly according to the prior plan, Li Laohan nodded with satisfaction, then continued to give orders, and took the lead in singing:

The upper beam is positive, and the dragon vein is prosperous.

This wood and this beam, born with pomp,

Where were you born? Where does it grow?

Born high in the mountains, growing up on hanging rocks.

Zhang Lang didn't dare to cut it here, and Li Lang didn't dare to let it go here.

Lu Ban came here to use a spell and cut down this wood to make a beam.

Pillars of Heaven, listen to my praise:

Where did you fall, and where did you roll?

Fell on the back of the Yellow Dragon and rolled on the Qinglong Mountain.

Walking with a saw in hand, the master ordered me to cut the pillars,

Don't bend or twist, cut not short and not long,

The two ends are cut the most equally, and it is just that Huanglong's waist is long.

Historically, during the Republic of China, when building houses in the countryside of Yanhuang Continent, many people believed that the upper beam was the most important part of the house, and the beam was the foundation of the whole house, symbolizing the vigorous and unfading dragon veins of the owner, so they attached great importance to it, so they sang the "Shangliang Song" when they went to the beam in some areas.

Although Wang Fan printed and distributed a large number of simple house drawings, the power of folk inertia and traditional customs is still very strong, and many people have modified some of the designs and styles without consulting anyone out of their own preferences, which is inevitable in rural life. Of course, due to the emergence of Wang Fan, the general principle of building houses is no longer red bricks, but gray environmentally friendly bricks.

Yuqiao Village Field.

"Erfat, hurry up and move the black water pipe, pay attention to the spacing, the commissioner and the village chief specially instructed!"

"Got it, Second Brother Zhao, but why are there so many holes in the pipe?"

"Stinky boy! You were distracted again from yesterday's meeting, this is called a water sprinkler, and the water shoots out of which holes! ”

"Huh? Why is this happening, the good end of the pipe is broken? ”

"The commissioner said yesterday that this can save a lot of water, although we have a small river here, but the water is not rich, not to mention that sometimes the flow is cut off."

"Second Brother Zhao, it's useless to have this pipe when the stream is really broken, right?"

"I don't know about this, but the commissioner assured the village chief that it seems that the mechanical and electrical wells drilled by those well drilling teams are connected to the pumps under construction or something, and they can realize automatic water spraying, which is magical!"

"Really, I'll have to take a look later!"

"Alright, stinky boy, let's get to work, we'll have to help repair the rainwater cellar later, don't be lazy!"

"Okay, okay!"

The entrance of Yuqiao Village.

"Big pillar, go and tell Lao Zhao of the transport team that there are not enough bricks and stones!"

"Got it, I'll go!"

"Uncle Zhao~~ There are not enough bricks and stones!"

"Got it, let's go to the luck, let's go, let's go!"

"Okay!"

"Understood, Uncle Zhao!"

On the mountain road, more than 20 three-wheeled agricultural motorcycles in Yuqiao Village started on the road with "Dudu Du~~". They crossed several hills, followed the trail, and turned into the main traffic artery of the Shaanxi Highway built by Wang Fan.

As far as the eye can see, the entire traffic artery is full of such agricultural tricycles, and the sound of "doodoo~~" comes and goes, resounding non-stop. Although the noise pollution is very large, for Lao Zhao, a Shaanxi farmer who has just learned to drive a tricycle, riding on a car that can run by himself feels like one word - beauty! According to relevant statistics, in the second half of 1943 alone, the total number of agricultural tricycles put into transportation operations exceeded 200,000, and they were like industrious ants and bees, transporting large quantities of construction materials to thousands of small mountain villages.

Yan'an Zaoyuan, a cave in the office of the Red Party government, has become the general headquarters of Shanxi Construction at this time. Inside the house, Wang Fanzheng discussed the direction and speed of construction with Comrade Zhou Eni and Comrade Liu Shaoqi.

"Because of the lack of engineering and technical personnel and the fact that we are still in the middle of the war, we have to postpone the construction of large-scale water conservancy projects, so we can only plan well and wait until the world is generally peaceful before starting construction." Zhou Eni looked at the large-scale topographic map of Shaanxi and Shanxi, and said.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I have sorted out and marked the locations of all the large-scale water conservancy projects in all provinces and cities in the future, and after the war is officially established, experts will assess the priorities according to the actual situation, and then arrange them one by one." Wang Fan answered.

"Yes, now we have to transform the traffic in the countryside first, so that the mountains and mountains, the province and the province can communicate and communicate." Liu Shaoqi said.

"Yes, there was a saying in the 90s that I said, 'If you want to get rich, build roads first', this should mean it!" Wang Fan nodded and interjected.

"Wang Fan, according to the experience of later generations, you put forward the 'three modernizations (forest networking, drainage and irrigation, gardening) and six supporting facilities (wells, canals, forests, roads, electricity, and drainage)' are very practical and complete, but we are now short of talents, I am afraid that there will be a big gap between the actual effect of implementation and the expected." Zhou Eni flipped through the information printed by Wang Fan, sighed and said.

"Uncle Zhou, it doesn't matter, we have been working many years earlier than the history of the main plane, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages after all. Now let's do a good job in horizontal terraces, damming and silting land, drilling wells and building cellars, developing small plots of water land and water-saving irrigation, laying a solid foundation, and then improving it little by little after the real founding of the country. Wang Fan comforted.

"That's right, you can't be a fat man by eating in one bite, let's take our time, we can't reach it if we want to hurry!" Liu Shaoqi affirmed, "However, this 'three-north shelter forest' cannot be delayed, at least Shaanxi and Shanxi should be established first," according to the data, the main plane finally built a total length of 1,500 km, an area of 1.75 million acres of the Great Wall, the northern edge, Lingyu, around the mountain four large windbreak and sand fixation forest belts; In the hinterland of the desert, more than 160 sand-fixing forests of more than 10,000 acres have been created, and more than 6 million acres of quicksand have been fixed; The 1.4 million mu of farmland affected by sandstorms in beaches, rivers, plains, and streams has all been reforested. The forest and grassland area was 14.6 million mu, and the vegetation coverage rate increased from 1.8% at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China to 39.8%. This is really good, for the benefit of future generations, we now have surplus manpower, we can organize more than 3 million people to plant trees and grass campaign, I believe it will soon be effective. ”

"Uncle Liu, I'm not worried about sand control, afforestation and grass planting, as long as enough manpower, resources and time are invested, the planted trees and grasses will eventually grow taller and grow." When Wang Fan heard Liu Shaoqi mention the sand control project, he suddenly thought of it and continued: "I am more worried about the maintenance and indiscriminate logging after the end of the tree planting campaign. Because of the low income of the people in the border areas, many people went to cut down the anti-sand forest as firewood for fire, destroying the situation of the hard-won people entering the sand and retreating, so afforestation is very important, and maintenance is even more important! ”

"Well, what you said makes sense, let's go back and discuss it and see how to solve it, by the way, do you have any good ideas?"

"It's not a good idea, but after our disabled soldiers are discharged, resettlement is also a big problem, why don't we set up a retired disabled soldier farm? Let them spend the rest of their lives in the beautiful nature while holding guns to protect the forest and pasture, do you think this idea is reliable? ”

"Yes, I think so." Zhou Eni was just about to continue talking, when suddenly a soldier ran in and said, "Report!" The chairman is in the small hall, please come over quickly!! ”
