Although Li Yongji did not personally participate in the autumn harvest celebration, because he could use radio communication, he could know what was happening at the autumn harvest celebration as soon as possible.

However, because Li Yongji's main energy is currently devoted to the industrial construction of Guangde County, he only chooses some important things to listen to at the autumn harvest celebration, such as the actual yield of high-yield rice, as well as the stock issuance of the Nongxing Company, and as for the construction of the new government team, he has full authority to his brother to deal with, and does not care much about it.

This is not because Li Yongji does not attach importance to government building, but he feels that as far as the current situation is concerned, army building and economic construction come first, and as for the issue of government bodies, as long as they do not hinder army building and economic construction, it will be fine no matter what.

In fact, the reason why Li Yongji was willing to give power to his brother and father was not entirely because of family affection, but because they both showed extremely high management skills in the later tables. In addition, the Li family is thin here, and the family attaches great importance to unity and is very reasonable, and never drags Li Yongji back, so in the current situation, at least in terms of civil affairs, Li Yongji really can't find a more suitable helper than the two of them.

Therefore, Li Yongji doesn't care about the problem of cronyism, and he doesn't care what others say about him in private, as long as he can help himself and not drag himself back, he will use it boldly and with confidence.

In fact, the Li family's ability to be so united is also related to their class status.

The traditional Chinese merchant class. Generally, it refers to the small and medium-sized merchant class who have no land or little land, and at the same time have no fame and fame, and still personally participate in commercial circulation. Those who have detached themselves from the field of commercial circulation, have fame, have a large amount of land, and sit on interest or commercial dividends, already belong to the gentry class, not the merchant class.

Influenced by thousands of years of traditional thinking that suppressed commerce, those small and medium-sized businessmen who participated in commercial circulation had no money but no status. It is exploited from all sides, so this class is actually an exploited class, and in terms of status. They were not as good as yeoman farmers, that is, in the late Qing Dynasty, their status became slightly stronger than yeoman farmers with the improvement of economic status.

Li Zhengxiang's family is a small businessman. In the past, it was not welcomed by the mainstream gentry and elite. belongs to a class that has a little money, but has no political status, and if you don't look at anything else, just look at the wife Li Zhengxiang is just the daughter of a servant, so you can see their social status.

Therefore, when such a family rises in troubled times, it will inevitably give priority to finding people of the same class as themselves to form an alliance, and it is natural to distance themselves according to their relatives. gathered these people of the same kind around, and relied on the armed deterrence of the elite army and the modern materials that Li Yongji had made. With fists and money, a new class of power was quickly formed.

In other words, the core members of the new power class with the Li family in Zhujiajiao as the core are the middle and lower classes composed of small merchants, local officials, yeoman farmers and tenants, and they also represent the interests of this class, and the original vested interests, that is, the gentry class who control a large amount of land and officialdom resources, are naturally hostile.

Because of this, the people who participated in the autumn harvest celebration, or the composition of the leadership of the future Jiangnan military government, were almost all in power from top to bottom, and as for the deputies of the new government, they were the traditional class of officials and petty officials, that is to say, the people who held power in the new government had almost no traditional gentry class.

Of course, this is not to say that Li Yongji or Li Yongchang did not give the traditional gentry and landlord class the opportunity to enter the new ruling class, or to enter the Jiangnan military government, but they themselves gave up this opportunity.

Because they held their own identities, they looked down on Li Yongji, the Jingwu Army, and Li Zhengxiang from the very beginning, so they disdained to join the Jingwu Army, nor did they disdain to join the new system of the Jiangnan Military Government, and they still yearned for the Qing government in their hearts, even if it was a group ruled by the Manchus.

In the minds of the gentry, the national question is far less important than vested interests, and they do not believe that the Jingwu Army or the military government dare to trouble them, so they wait and take a look, and have a non-violent non-cooperation with the Jingwu Army, which is a state of non-opposition and non-support.

On the contrary, it was those small businessmen and officials who had no skin and no face, and they would go to the favor as soon as they were given, or they would like to see the wind and steer the rudder, so they defected to Li Yongji as soon as possible, so they got the greatest reward in the distribution of power in the new government.

Then, as soon as they tasted the taste of power, this new class of power that had risen from below, in order to defend their new power, or to obtain greater power and benefits, this new class of power, composed of small merchants, small yeoman farmers, tenants, and servants, began to attack the gentry class that had been pressed on their heads.

This knife is to measure the land, once it begins to measure the land, it is equivalent to completely offending the original gentry class, and it will inevitably provoke strong resistance from the other party, which is a radical behavior with both risks and benefits.

Originally, Li Zhengxiang and these people did not have the courage, but the strength of the Jingwu army gave them this courage, and the continuous expansion of economic profits stimulated this courage, so they began to really plan to declare war on the gentry.

In fact, in the past, because Li Yongji was economically self-sufficient, and he had always focused his energy on army building, he had not had time to play any games to fight local tyrants and divide the land, so he did not find trouble with these gentry and landlords, but this does not mean that he did not look for them all the time, once he began to measure the land, the contradictions would inevitably sharpen, and these gentry and landlords would inevitably resist fiercely at that time.

Li Yongchang and others had already expected this, so after the autumn harvest celebration, Li Yongchang specially selected a group of specific candidates to stay, such as mayors and county magistrates at all levels, and everyone discussed them behind closed doors for a long time, what they wanted was to give these gentry a ruthless hand, a bourgeois revolution, or a Chinese bourgeois-style fight against local tyrants.

But this act must be fully supported by the Jingwu Army, so Li Yongchang re-contacted Li Yongji after the meeting. And he told his intentions in full.

"What? You want to liquidate the big landlords in the Gangnam region? Hearing his brother's plan, Li Yongji was also taken aback, "It's too early, right?" ”

"Not early." Li Yongchang said lightly. "Yongji, from the moment we set up a new government, collect land tax, and start measuring the land, we are no longer on the same road with these guys, since they will rebel sooner or later, it is better for us to start in advance. Let's start first. ”

"Could it be a problem?" Li Yongji changed the phone to his ear and said, "I mean, what I need now is a steady dìng." If you mess up the ruling area, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

"Don't worry, we have already arranged it." Li Yongchang smiled, "We didn't bring down all the big landlords. We're just making an example. Let's kill the people who have been the most oppositional to us in the past, and the least cooperative. Especially for those landlords within the scope of the million-acre experimental area, it is most appropriate to take those people first.

The list of these people, as well as the general strength, we have long been clear through the officials and officials in various places, although they have some family guards, but most of them are big swords and spears, even if your elite army does not shoot. As long as the garrisons and police forces in various places are added, they can be completely eliminated.

Well. Yongji, these people have a lot of money, and a lot of land, although they have not clearly opposed us so far, but they stand in the pit and don't, and they also have their own arms, which in itself is an unstable factor, and if we get rid of them, we can get more land and money, and thus attract more people to join us.

Actually, this action to fight local tyrants is not my intention alone, it is everyone's intention, the so-called people's hearts, we can't chill their hearts. ”

"That's right." Li Yongji frowned and thought for a while, "Where are you going to do it first?" Are you sure that it will not affect the local law and order, and you will not cause anger and resentment? ”

"Heaven is angry? Absolutely not, if you say that it is to fight local tyrants, that is, you will only find those who are extremely evil to deal with, these people are also the richest, and if you beat these people, everyone will definitely applaud, even if it is not a great crime, we say that he is, he is. Li Yongchang said coldly, "If you agree to mobilize the garrison of the Jingwu Army, plus the police forces in various places, then we can take advantage of the radio and use the five cities of Shanghai, Jiaxing, Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changshu at the same time." This time, I will be ruthless, and when they are not paying attention and have not had a chance to connect in series, I will knock them over at once, so that they can no longer turn over. And in this way, the person who does it is equivalent to handing in a letter of submission, and he can only follow us to the end in the future. ”

"Yo, I can't see that you're quite ruthless, big brother." Li Yongji said with a smile.

"No poison, no husband." Li Yongchang sighed and said, "I'm also for you and for our family's great cause." Things have come to this point, others are okay to say, but our Li family has no way back, the more this time, the more we can't be soft! We must let the world see our tough methods, force others to stand in line, and force others to go with us!

The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, and the establishment of a new government, naturally need some means, not to mention the establishment of a new government, money must be used everywhere, and you refuse to raise taxes, where will the money come from? Naturally, you have to look for it from these people, don't you say? Even if it's not for this, for the sake of those who follow us, we have to let them see some good, right? ”

"Okay, I see." Li Yongji said, "I'll call when I turn around, and let the garrisons of the elite military and local police forces in various places obey your unified deployment, and you can do what you want. ”

"That's all it takes with you." Hearing this, Li Yongchang was relieved, "Also, are you sure that there is no threat from the Qing court?" Our uncle is said to have faced an army of 100,000 people, so why don't you really go to the rescue? ”

"One hundred thousand? Hmph, a rabble, my uncle himself is not worried, what else am I worried about. Li Yongji pouted, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, I'm almost done here, and after the completion of the first phase of the project, I will lead the troops to the north, and I can't delay." ”

"By the way, speaking of which, how long do you have to stay in Guangde?" Li Yongchang said again, "Everyone hasn't seen you for so long, and it's already a bit gossipy." ”

"Gossip? Hehe, so what, as long as the Jingwu Army is still under my control, as long as you and Daddy are still in charge of the place for me, who can help us? Li Yongji smiled and said, "As for how long to stay." I think it's going to be at least two months, you know, some things can't be done halfway. ”

"Okay. In that case, that's the only way to go. Li Yongchang said, "Let's talk about this today, and I'll call you if I have something." Well, this phone is really convenient, and foreigners' things are good. ”

"You've said this many times." Li Yongji smiled, "Okay." When I turned around, I called the troops, and that's it, hung up. ”

After ending the call with Li Yongchang. Li Yongji made another phone call to the heads of the garrisons in various places, briefly informed them of the matter, and asked them to obey Li Yongchang's unified dispatch, and then they were fine. After that. It only needs Li Yongchang to continue chatting with them on the phone. A detailed surprise plan on the phone is all it takes.

It is precisely because of this convenient wireless telephone system, and because Li Yongji personally promoted the commanders of the troops, Li Yongji dared to live in seclusion in Guangde County with peace of mind, and was able to convey orders to the whole army with a single phone call, and the people below would immediately follow them, and this was the advantage of dictatorship and modern communications. It can have ultra-high execution efficiency.

After making the call, Li Yongji looked at the dynamic demonstration of the generator set in the monitor in front of him again. Began to re-devote energy to China's first set of thermal power generating units.

To engage in modern industry, power supply is the first priority, so from the very beginning, Li Yongji put the installation and commissioning of thermal power units in the first place, followed by the construction of coke ovens and synthetic ammonia.

In fact, because of the golden finger, plant construction and equipment installation problems are not difficult, Li Yongji only needs to plan the plant design in advance, according to the design plan to do a good job of land leveling, in advance to plan out the production area and living area, in advance to do a good job in infrastructure construction, as long as there is enough manpower in these aspects, it is not a problem at all.

As for the real equipment installation, Zhang Xinda pre-installed and debugged the small thermal power units in the modern society in advance, and then directly connected to the plant to package and transmit to Li Yongji, Li Yongji only needs to spit out the whole set of equipment in the designated place when no one is around.

The whole process is like copying the original, although limited by the limitation of transmission tonnage, so the total weight of the entire generator set can not exceed 3,000 tons, but because it can be transmitted intact, it saves a lot of trouble.

Think about it, if it's not this kind of magical space teleportation, but a light gate or something, you still have to disassemble the equipment in modern society and transport it, and then find someone here to reproduce and install it one by one, which will take a lot of effort.

Now, Zhang Xinda only needs to buy a power plant, install and debug a complete set of thermal power generator sets, and then pack and send them over, and Li Yongji's people only need to check and debug it afterwards, and they don't have to install it themselves, which is especially suitable for the situation where the level of technicians is still relatively low.

That is to say, this set of generator sets only needs to be built once in modern society, and there is no need to repeat the installation and construction, not to mention the troublesome problem, and the safety is more guaranteed. You must know that even if it is a small thermal power project, it will take a year and a half to fully install and debug, and Zhang Xinda only needs to spend money to buy a generator set that has been installed and debugged in modern society, and send it over, eliminating the complex and repetitive construction on Li Yongji's side, and can be put into production as much as possible.

As for the limitation of transmission tonnage, it is actually not a big deal, if there is a limit of 3,000 tons, of course, too large generator sets will not work, but it is still very easy to transmit a set of 50,000 kilowatt capacity generator sets.

You must know that a 3,000-ton warship in modern society, the LM2500 gas turbine on it can easily reach 30,000 kilowatts, although the small thermal power is a coal-fired boiler and a steam turbine, and the weight is much larger than that of a gas turbine, but in total, even if you add the plant and related ancillary facilities, there is no 3,000 tons.

It is precisely because it can be packaged and transmitted, so the 30,000-kilowatt capacity generator set that Li Yongji wants is not an ordinary pure thermal power unit, but a combined heat and power thermal power unit, and the technical content is quite high.

First of all, the boiler of this generator set uses a more advanced circulating fluidized bed boiler, with its own pulverized coal preparation system and digital automatic control system, high thermal efficiency, low pollution, easy to operate, and can also realize the comprehensive utilization of ash and slag, that is to say, the burned slag can be used as cement admixture or building materials, such as paving is very good.

The second is the steam turbine and generator set for power generation, not to mention the motor of this steam turbine generator set. Both are high-speed generators, and the steam turbines that power the generators are also quite advanced, using two extraction back pressure steam turbines.

This extraction back-pressure steam turbine can be used entirely to generate electricity. It is also possible to extract part of the steam for heating to increase the efficiency of steam use, so that the maximum rated power generation of a single steam turbine and generator set is 25 MWh, that is, 25,000 kWh, and the combined power generation capacity of the two units is 50,000 kWh.

The reason why two units are needed is naturally to adjust the peak power generation, and the general power plant is at least two generator sets. 50,000 kWh is the maximum rated power generation, which can be either reduced or increased in actual power generation. The maximum overload can be increased to 100,000 kWh, but it is not built to run overloaded.

In addition to the basic boilers, steam turbines, and generators, the control system is also a highlight, and the control system of the entire thermal power generation system is fully automated and digitalized. Manual intervention is minimized. It is quite an advanced set of systems. In fact, this system is a German product, which is not available in modern China, but the operating system has undergone Chinese transformation in advance, and the use of traditional characters is still used.

In other words, the operator only needs to stare at the display in the clean control room, press the switch to control the entire power generation system, and as for those places that are prone to failure, all are equipped with various automatic detectors. If there is any problem, it will be automatically fed back. And it is basically modular, and if it is broken somewhere, it is enough to replace the parts as a whole.

There is no doubt that this kind of highly automated power generation system, the cost is naturally not small, the reason why there is no large-scale promotion in modern society, is because of the high cost, generally such a small thermal power, is to provide self-generated power for factories or real rooms in Europe and the United States, so there is such a high degree of automation, there is no market in China, but for the Qing Dynasty, the level of workers is relatively low, but it is more suitable.

According to Zhang Xinda, even the most wearable components of this power generation system have a service life of more than 5 years, so you can use it with confidence.

Of course, such a set of systems can only be used by the technicians of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to copy, don't think about it in the short term, so the main purpose of this set of generator sets is to use it first, first to generate electricity, as for the future to make their own power plants, climb the science and technology tree by themselves, that has to take its time, not in a hurry.

If China in the 19th century wants to build its own industrial system and produce its own power generation equipment, it is necessary to at least let the first generation of new generations with the level of college students in the 20th century grow up, and the basic industrial system is also developed, and then try to use a full set of technical materials for trial production.

Speaking of which, this kind of behavior of packing and sending the entire power plant is completely beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, you must know that the day before it was a wasteland, and the next day it became a factory, if people understand it all, it will inevitably cause many problems.

In order to solve this problem, the power plant was selected in a very secret woods, and people opened a vacant land in the middle of the woods in advance, and dug water canals and underground passages, and also planted cement telephone poles in advance.

That is, the migrant workers who make the infrastructure of the power plant will not come back, they will not know that the place where they work will become a power plant the next day; The people who came to work at the power plant did not know that the power plant was still flat in the woods the day before, and they only thought that it had been built in secret for a long time, and that those who came to work at the power plant were not allowed to leave the power plant, and could only live and live in the dormitory of the power plant, which was tantamount to being imprisoned, in order to maintain maximum secrecy. Of course, although they are incarcerated, they have a wide range of activities and are well paid, and on the whole it is an enviable kind of work.

For Li Yongji, this kind of construction is like playing a realistic version of a simulated city or a simulated factory, and the fun is self-evident, especially the situation where one moment it is still a wasteland, and the next moment a big factory appears, the excitement is simply indescribable.

Now, the thermal power plant has appeared in this time and space, but there is no official ignition power generation, everyone is still busy getting familiar with this power generation system, and make some preparations in advance, such as preventing various accidents, really igniting power generation, even if Li Yongji is accompanied by the whole process, it is estimated that it will be a week later.

"What a nuisance." Li Yongji, who looked at the computer screen for a while, blinked, and gave himself some eye drops, "Nima is so complicated just to see the operation instructions, this is still a fully automated equipment." Sure enough, industrialization is not easy to do, a power plant is like this, and I don't know how to get more complex synthetic ammonia, hey, headache, why can't this system send some modern talents over, so I play everything by myself, it's very tiring, you know.
