【181】Galaxy Shadow Shakes the Three Armies (9)

As the Shandong Revolutionary Commune exercised its functions and powers over the base areas in the form of a modern government, the warm wind of freedom began to blow on this ancient land, and fresh words like spring rain silently penetrated into people's thoughts and lives......

Due to the rush of the incident, the small steam turbine motor ordered by Li Hongzhang was not delivered normally, so Yao Fan took the European engineer Reed that Marx found for him, installed the steam turbine in Zibo, and used the coal electricity produced by the Zibo Fangzi Coal Mine, and then re-transmitted the electricity to the coal mine to provide power to the mining equipment such as air picks, drilling rigs, pumping machines, exhaust fans, and mining lamps used for tunneling.

Zibo's coal mine originally belonged to the small coal mine in collusion with the local gentry, and the mining method was to blindly dig and dig coal indiscriminately, and there were vole hole-like pits everywhere, and as soon as the rainy season in summer arrived, it would be completely stopped because of the flooding of the pit, and it was necessary to wait for the rainy season to pass and manually scoop water to re-excavate, which was simply primitive and backward to the extreme.

After being taken over by the commune, Yao Fan organized cadres to study and compile the compiled books on coal mine excavation and management in the 21st century, and ordered the coal mines to carry out scientific operations in accordance with the new mining methods. In this way, coupled with modern mining equipment, the production efficiency of the coal mine has been accelerated by a hundredfold, and the daily output of the small Fangzi coal mine has jumped from more than 1,000 catties per day to more than 100 tons per day!

After the failure of the Paris Commune, Reed came to England to work as a maintenance engineer for steam engines in the power shop of a textile factory, earning seven pounds and three shillings a month, equivalent to more than thirty taels of silver.

However, Marx, as the spiritual leader of the world movement, had a very high prestige among the revolutionary masses, and his warm invitation and Engels' vigorous encouragement finally prompted Li De and a group of Europeans to come to China. After arriving in Qingdao, he was pleased to see that Yao Fan kept his engineer's salary and gave thirty taels of silver a month, but considering the food and shelter, and even clothes and fabrics, Reed now not only did not lose but also made a lot of money.

When Yao Fan handed over the construction task of Zibo Fangzi Coal Mine to Reed, Reed first came into contact with the steam turbine, the shock of the extreme fantastic industrial products, Reed still remembers vividly, as an engineer, Reed understands how great this steam turbine is, during the whole assembly process, Li De saw all the snow bright steel, did not see any black steel used in European steam engines, Reed did not understand how this steel was refined at all.

When the steam turbine was installed and the electricity was turned on, Reed looked at the dreamy bright and dazzling electric lights, and fanatically believed that the Shandong Commune would succeed, and he wrote to his friends in Europe, saying that his broken heart, which had been broken after the Paris Commune, was now burning like a boiler, and that he called the Shandong Commune the second spring of his life, and that this time he would no longer allow himself to fail and escape. In the letter, he wrote: "This time I will face the muzzle of the gun, and if misfortune does come again, I will stand proudly in front of the wall waiting to be shot together with the people here......"

"Dear Mr. President, we are running out of electricity right now! With the support of the great power mining equipment that your family knows to produce, the daily output of coal is more than that of any small and medium-sized coal mine in Europe, and when we complete the construction of the second and third areas, our Fangzi coal mine will produce more than 100,000 tons per year, which is the first class in Europe! It's stronger than any big coal mine I've ever seen or heard of, and it's a great leap in productivity, and I just hope that the coal beneath the Fangzi area can withstand such a large amount of mining as we have. ”

Yao Fan remembered that the Fangzi Coal Mine was completely closed until the 90s, so he smiled and said: "Comrade Reed, although you can rest assured, even if we liberate the whole of China, the coal here can be mined for at least another 40 years." ”

"It's amazing! I strongly ask you, Mr. President, to allow me to build a large-scale industry here. I looked at the electric machines in the commune warehouses, those motors are remarkable, and your motors are like industrial works of art compared to the fledgling European motor manufacturing, and those European products are more like some clumsy toys!

I'm sure your overseas factories must not be in Europe, they are on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, right?

You should relocate all your overseas factories to the base, where there is an inexhaustible supply of coal to use!

We are going to erect hundreds of great chimneys on the Shandong Peninsula, and when we have a thousand chimneys erected, the whole world will tremble before the great proletariat! We will crush a bourgeois enemy who dares to attack us! Reed's eyes shone with fanaticism, exuding the obsession of science students of this era with big industry.

"Comrade Reed, your construction is very good, there is Jinling iron ore in Zibo for us to mine in large quantities." Yao Fan said with a smile that he knew in his heart that the golden triangle of Zibo, Jinan and Laiwu has a large number of iron ore and coal resources.

Reed's eyes lit up: "Great! Iron and coal! It's going to be the new London, it's going to be Manchester! ”

"Yes, this is going to be an industrial city, I have already demolished one of my steel mills overseas, and soon all this steelmaking and ironmaking equipment will be shipped to Zibo, Reed I hope you can help me build the iron mine now, and then recruit enough engineers for me to build the steel plant. I have here the planning drawings of the steel plant and the construction drawings of the iron mine, you can take a look at them first. Yao Fan said his plan.

Yao Fan's idea is simply to dismantle and relocate all the small steel mills with high energy consumption and high pollution eliminated by 2o12 to 1876, because the 2o12 government is implementing a planned elimination of backward production capacity, Yao Fan has an inexhaustible supply of industrial equipment to purchase.

"I need a lot of engineers." Reid demanded.

"You can hire, the commune can pay no less than Europe, take care of food and housing, and have the benefits of medical care and housing, and if they are willing to work in China until retirement, they can also receive a retirement salary to live out their old age, this is a socialist country, my dear Comrade Reid."

"Yes! Mr. President! We are building a great socialist country! Reed said excitedly, his eyes were already full of tears, a socialist country, what a groundbreaking event! It's as much as humans learning to walk upright and make tools!

Yao Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Reed tightly. He still remembers the cut. After the defeat of the guerrilla war, Guevara once said: "After we leave, they will build schools and hospitals for you, and they will raise your wages, not because they have a good conscience, nor because they have become good people." It's because we've been here. ”

Yao Fan said: "If the socialist regime disappears from the whole world, then the dark age of the working people of the world will officially come." ”

Reed did not understand Yao Fan's words: "After the short-lived uprising of the Paris Commune, there is no socialist regime in the whole world now, and we have to create one with our own hands!" She will live forever and thrive until she finally becomes a great state! ”

Yao Fan knew that Reed didn't understand his feelings, and said: "Yes, we want to start from now and build a socialist country with our own hands, and we are all her founders and protectors." ”

At the end of March, the spring flowers bloomed, and the wedding of Yao Fan and the Golden Bird was also held on the green land of Qilu, Marx happily acted as a witness to the marriage of the two, Yao Fan and the Golden Bird folded their hands on a declaration to swear to marry, Li Hainiu happily closed his mouth, and presented a marriage certificate to the two on behalf of the Shandong People's Revolutionary Commune.

Due to the great intensity of the expansion of the army, the military budget is tight, and now the Shandong Commune is advocating hardship and simplicity, Yao Fan did not set up a banquet, but just visited the church and ate a glass of wine.

The day after the cave, the two went back to work.

Since there is no need to learn foreign languages, Yao Fan simply combines the curriculum of primary school and junior high school and completes the six-year school at the same time.

In the process of building the primary school, the Huang family made great efforts, in addition to mobilizing the students of the upper and lower academies to serve as teachers, and also used the reputation of the Huang family as a guarantee to recruit and recommend all kinds of scholars who were unsuccessful in the imperial examination to enter the primary school system as teachers.

Considering that there is a unified textbook, Yao Fan is not worried that these literati will be able to teach too much reactionary feudal content, and the examination is a baton, using the examination to evaluate teachers, and establishing a floating salary and bonus system, which is enough to ensure that teachers will not have the effort to dwell on content other than the textbook.

Since the primary school has just been established, the first-grade students do not need to learn too much science knowledge, Yao Fan does not have to worry about the level of teachers for the time being, once the completion of a year of teaching, the teachers have reached a certain level of self-study of mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks, and then they will be assessed and selected science teachers, this is Yao Fan's vision.

Because Yao Fan took the entire Jiaodong Peninsula, Yantai as a treaty port also fell into Yao Fan's hands, because Yao Fan did not adjust the import and export tariffs of the original Qing government for the time being, nor did he exercise jurisdiction over several streets in Yantai as foreign concessions, so Britain, France and other powers were still waiting for the Qing government to quell the rebellion, and there were no signs of foreign armed intervention.

Guo Jixiu was a cunning guy, when Yao Fan's troops marched eastward, he chose to escape very well with the current affairs, fled to Yantai with the regimental training he had just formed, and then took a boat to detour back to Jinan Mansion by sea.

In the gloom of defeat, Ding Baozhen attached great importance to Guo Jixiu's arrival, he believed that Guo Jixiu was the only bright spot in Yao Fan's rebellion for a period of time, Guo Jixiu was like a proof that in Yao Fan's base area, the squire's hearts were still towards the Qing government.

Under the favor of honor, Ding Baozhen paid for the guns and men to expand Guo Jixiu's regimental training into three battalions, and according to the plan of the Qing army, in the autumn of this year, when all the new regimental training was completed, it was necessary to launch an all-out campaign against Shandong.
