Chapter 99: Wang Shuhui's Journey to the Countryside 3

86_86695 Wang Shuhui and his entourage of eleven people went to the countryside and took a steamboat under the Trade Office of the Fuxing Society.

The Jiangbei Shipyard, which is subordinate to the Working Committee of the Fuxing Society, can only steam the purchased ships at present. Jiangbei Shipyard does not yet have the ability to independently produce ships on its own. Moreover, Wang Shuhui did not have the will to recruit craftsmen to produce those ancient wooden boats.

The purpose of his establishment of the Jiangbei Shipyard was just to train the workers. He was ready to meet the metallurgical level of the iron and steel plant, and after the establishment of the marine coating industry, he would go directly to the steam ironclad ship when there were sufficient steel materials and skilled riveters and welders.

The Jiangbei Shipyard has joined forces with the steel mill and the machinery factory to build several practical, small steam small iron ships. Those ships actually resembled the small steamboats that were more common on the Thames in England during the First Industrial Revolution. You can imagine that those ships are basically like the black and gray steam boats in "Sherlock Holmes", where Robert De Niro Jr. went to the House building and had no more than double digits of horsepower and could hold up to seven or eight people.

However, because the technicians and workers of the shipbuilding are completely unqualified. Therefore, among the six ships produced by Jiangbei Shipyard, the first three ships sank before they left the dock. The third and fourth boats can sail out of the dock. However, after they sailed out of the dock, they flipped over due to a problem with the center of gravity. All sank under the Yangtze River.

On the contrary, the fifth and sixth ships were relatively better, and both were capable of sailing tasks. However, the fifth ship had a boiler explosion due to a mistake by the stoker. Even the boat and the people were gone. At present, only the sixth boat is working normally, and she is now on both sides of the Yangtze River, traveling back and forth, taking on the role of a tugboat.

What Jiangbei Shipyard is currently working hard is the goal set by Wang Shuhui for the shipyard to be completed within three years. That is, three years later, Jiangbei Shipyard will unite the steel plant and the machinery processing plant to copy the 500 horsepower and 59 long one made by the Harbin Shipyard in 1953 according to the model, number jΓΉ and drawings provided by Wang Shuhui. 36 meters, width 16. 7 meters, draft 1 at full load. The 25-meter "Xingshan" steam engine paddle wheel tugboat came.

That kind of ship is often heard in old movies, a mature ship product under modern industrialization, "small steamer". If this kind of ship can be mass-produced, then in the entire Yangtze River basin, she can easily dominate the king. The main thing is that such a ship can be easily converted into a submersible gunboat.

Wang Shuhui's five-year goal for the shipyard is to achieve a waterline ship that can be copied and mass-produced, with a length of 48 meters and a width of 8. 5 meters, maximum draft 2. 9 meters, displacement 690 tons, deadweight 507 tons, twin masted barquentine sails. Install a 500 hp steam engine, single propeller. In addition, 1 12-horsepower auxiliary steam engine was installed. Maximum speed 10 knots. The crew is 114 people. It can be used for route escort and long-range patrol missions, and the "90-daygunboat" in the North during the American Civil War

Wang Shuhui's ten-year goal for the shipyard is to achieve the kind that can be copied and mass-produced, with a displacement of 1,160 tons, a length of 70 meters, and a width of 9. 9 meters, draft 6. 25 meters. A 200 hp steam engine was installed, with a speed of eight knots (using steam power) and sixteen knots (sail power), and a crew of 109 people. Barquentine sailsuit. The steam engine not only provides navigation power, but also can provide the power of the sail, the first modern warship "Wannian Qing" manufactured by the Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau in the late Qing Dynasty.

And Wang Shuhui's ultimate goal for the shipyard is to be able to imitate and produce the Captain 94. 5 meters, 18 meters wide, 6 meters draft, normal displacement of 7,335 tons or 7,430 tons, full load displacement of 7,670 tons, power for two horizontal three-cylinder reciprocating steam engines, 8 round coal-fired boilers, power 6000 or 7300 horsepower, speed 14. 5 knots, with a range of 4,500 nautical miles/10 knots, equipped with a searchlight with 8,000 candles and a searchlight with 20,000 candles, and 3 generators provide 70 kW of electricity. The total weight of the armor is 1461 tons, the armor thickness of the ironclad fort waterline is 14 inches (365mm), the armor thickness of the waterline is 12 inches (305mm), the armor thickness of the 305 gun mount is 304mm, the thickness of the gun shield is 15mm, the armor of the command tower is 203mm, the coal container is 700 tons, the maximum coal load is 1000 tons, and the establishment is 329-363 people.

However, whether it is the five-year and seven-year goals, or the ultimate goal, they are all obscene delusions generated by Wang Shuhui's reading of the information when he is fine. In fact, whether it can be achieved or not, he himself does not know. He wasn't prepared to sue anyone.

For now, the employees of the shipyard in the Jiangbei Industrial Zone only know a three-year goal. He didn't mention the other five- and seven-year goals. In order to build a wooden paddle steamer tugboat, hundreds of workers and technicians involved in shipbuilding are now so tired that they are urinating blood. Wang Shuhui was also afraid of saying his long-term goal, and these people directly committed suicide in despair.

The ship that Wang Shuhui is sitting on now is the most mature steam-based transformation ship of Jiangbei Shipyard. It was converted from a three-hundred-ton sand boat. The main product of Jiangbei Shipyard is this kind of steam sand ship of two or three hundred tons.

In fact, because the small marine steam engine was customized by Wang Shuhui in batches in a modern factory according to his needs. Therefore, the workers of the Jiangbei shipyard only need to renovate the stern part of the medium-sized sand ship bought from the shipyard in the Jiangnan area, and then install the steam engine and propeller.

It turned out that Wang Shuhui was also worried about water leakage. Later, he realized that the ancient craftsmen were much smarter than himself. They opened a window at the stern of the sand boat, passed the guΓ² drive rod, and placed the propeller in the stern. This is actually the very common idea of adding a marine single-bar diesel engine behind a small boat as propeller power.

The sand ship of more than 300 tons, driven by a modern specially customized marine steam engine, sailed forward at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. After all, this kind of ancient steamship that has been transformed by steam is not designed and produced as a whole. There is a strict irrationality between steam power and ship type. In the process of traveling, the ship is often a shudder, a trembling, a trembling, a trembling.

When Wang Shuhui was in college and graduate school, he took river boats and sea boats many times. At that time, he did not react to seasickness at all. Therefore, he thought that he was a person who would not get seasick. However, the small wooden boat he sat on this time, which was crooked and cracked, and was transformed into a steam boat with an ancient sand boat, made him really understand what seasickness is. He, like ten other members of the expedition team, took a boat and vomited all the way.

After tossing and turning all morning, the group arrived at the first stop of this investigation, Zhaojiatan Village, which is located between Zhijiang County and Jingzhou Prefecture, and is the farthest base village under the Fuxing Association.

In order to effectively deliver supplies to the base villages along the Yangtze River, the Fuxing Association has built simple wharves along the river to seven villages along the Jiangbei Industrial Base to Zhaojiatan. The simple wharf in Zhaojiatan Village is the largest and most complete of all the villages along the Yangtze River.

On the wharf of Zhaojiatan, there is a non-wooden trestle bridge, which makes Wang Shuhui very surprised. You must know that the several granite concrete trestle bridges built for the Jiangbei Village Industrial Zone were built by the Fuxing Army and the peasants and workers under the Committee of Agriculture, who participated in the construction, and they were built with several layers of skin.

In the process of the boat constantly adjusting its direction and slowly moving closer to the trestle, Wang Shuhui found that the trestle bridge in Zhaojiatan was neither made of wood nor cement stone, but was made of rattan baskets filled with gravel and pebbles, piled up one by one. Fortunately, Zhaojiatan Wharf is built in a small harbor with gentle currents. Otherwise, the trestle bridge built with this material may be washed away by the Yangtze River in a few days.

The farm manager Lin Yuze recovered very quickly. Before the ship could be fully docked, he was basically back in shape. It is clear that he was also interested in this trestle. However, after seeing the material of the trestle clearly, he wiped the vomit from his mouth and muttered, "This is too much labor and money." ”

Although Wang Shuhui was very tired physically because of seasickness, his brain was very clear and his ears were very sensitive. Listening to Lin Yuze's words, Wang Shuhui immediately became angry. He made a speech to the members of the inspection team who had just disembarked and were moving their hands and feet on the pier.

"Comrades, I told you at the preparatory meeting for the inspection that we only brought a pair of eyes, a pair of ears, a pair of hands, and a pair of feet to the inspection. A pair of eyes are used to observe the situation. A pair of ears are used to listen to the opinions and opinions. A pair of hands, which are used for labor and record-keeping. A pair of feet are used to run back and forth in the field. ”

"I've said this to you many times at the meeting. In addition to understanding the situation, our investigation is to understand the situation. In addition to investigative research, it is investigative research. Don't express your opinions, don't command on the spot, don't be self-righteous, don't open your mouth to speak. ”

"I told everyone at the meeting a long time ago, 'At the beginning of getting off the bus, I will make comments and opinions, which is also criticized, and that is also accused, in fact, ten out of ten such people will fail. Because this kind of discussion or criticism, without careful investigation, is nothing more than ignorance. (From the preface and preface to the third volume of "Mao Xuan", "Rural Survey")

"However, a lot of people just take my words like a dog fart. What I say to him is that the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out. It's not as good as a dog fart. ”

"Comrade Lin Yuze, what did you say when you didn't get off the boat just now, you can talk about it again here."

Lin Yuze is a smart person. Just now Wang Shuhui issued an order to comment, and when everyone gathered to stand in line, his heart began to be unstable. When Wang Shuhui talked about a pair of eyes and ears, he knew that he had stabbed the basket, and Wang Shizun was going to get angry.

However, everyone is from the disciples of Master Wang, and everyone has long been used to this situation of being scolded in front of them. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Wang Shizun had called his name, he immediately shouted "arrive", and after that, he immediately went out of the column and repeated his words according to the order.

At this time, Wang Shuhui's anger had almost dissipated with the swearing words of a dog farting and a dog's fart. Therefore, he stepped forward and gave Lin Yuze a kick, and after telling him to go back to the queue, he continued to comment on everyone.

"Here, I won't scold Lin Yuze as a bastard. However, I warn you one last time. During the research, in addition to asking questions and discussing in the group, I kept your foul mouth shut. Now, together, let's collectively memorize the words that I asked everyone to recite at the preparatory meeting about "no investigation, no voice". ”

After saying this, Wang Shuhui took the lead in leading everyone to backsliding, "There is no investigation, no right to speak." If you don't investigate an issue, stop having your say on an issue. Isn't that too barbaric? It is not barbaric at all, since you have not investigated the actual situation and historical situation of that issue, and you do not know the bottom line, your speech on that issue must be nonsense. It's clear to everyone that talking nonsense won't solve the problem, so what's unfair about stopping your right to speak? Many comrades are talking nonsense there with their eyes closed all day long, and this is a shame for the revival members. Or! Or! Investigative! No to nonsense! ”

Here, Wang Shuhui led a team of people to line up here, carrying the investigation principle of "no investigation, no right to speak". Over there, waiting at the exit of the wharf, ready to greet Wang Shuhui's investigation team, standing next to the leader of the Zhaojiatan working group, Zhao Henian, who was in his forties and the president of the Zhaojiatan Farmers' Association, was born in Xiucai, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

In his eyes, Wang Shuhui is a royal nobleman. It was completely different from the suave image he imagined. The act of kicking and beating his subordinates just now is really insulting. Moreover, it is also too domineering and rude.

Zhao Henian is a yeoman farmer. He is the president of the peasant association elected by all the villagers of Zhaojiatan. It's not like any other base village. Here in Zhaojiatan, except for a large amount of land that was directly managed by a housekeeper of Ma Songhua's family, there are no other big landowners in the whole village. Except for a small number of homesteaders. Half of the villagers in Zhaojiatan work as tenant farmers for the Ma family, and half work as fishers on the Yangtze River for a living.

After the working group was stationed in Zhaojiatan, in addition to convening a general meeting and overthrowing Ma Songhua's housekeeper family, it was a matter of dividing land and organizing production. Because there are no landlords, half of the villagers are fishermen. Therefore, after defeating Ma Songhua's housekeeper stationed in Zhaojiatan, the class contradictions in the entire Zhaojiatan were all resolved.

In this case, in addition to the villagers who used to be tenants for the Ma family, they actively supported the initiative of the Revival Working Group. The other half of the villagers, who are fishermen, do not cooperate at all with the work of the Revival Society's working group. Moreover, because there is no one with the surname in the entire Zhaojiatan. Therefore, at the time of the election of the peasant association, the patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Henian, who made a living from teaching, was elected as the chairman of the peasant association.

The patriarch was the president of the peasant association. This is the only special case in the entire Revival Society, more than 30 base villages
