After eating and resting slightly, Ma Youcai took Jiang Yan to the place where they practiced steel.

"Leader, this is the blast furnace of our township."

Coming to the steelmaking site, Jiang Yan could only use the words shock and spectacle to describe the scene here.

This scene was even more shocking than Jiang Yan's first time he saw the sea.

In this huge threshing floor, tens of thousands of people gather here, and there are dozens of blast furnaces of all sizes.

As the saying goes, this person is 10,000, boundless, looking at the bustling crowd, for the first time I feel that this person is more powerful or a very correct thing.

At the scene, people were shouting slogans where they were busy, some were adding firewood to the blast furnace, some were adding coal, the main thing was a dry hot day, and everyone's expression was quite excited.

"Leader, I want to trouble you to give guidance." Ma Youcai looked slightly smug and spoke to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan didn't say a word, and directly led people to the small blast furnace below for a close visit.

The so-called iron-making furnace here is a yellow clay furnace about three or four meters high, with a chimney about one meter high and made of semicircular tiles.

Jiang Yan walked to a small blast furnace that had just been built, looked inside, and shook his head secretly.

The furnace is made of ordinary adobe bricks, and the lower part of the furnace is artificially blown with a cylindrical bellows. The barrel is made of wooden strips, about two meters long and about 80 centimeters in diameter.

The piston in the middle is also wooden, and chicken or duck feathers are tied around the perimeter to seal it. The bellows have a long handle that can be pushed and pulled by two people at the same time.

To tell the truth, how can you do this blast furnace steel without refractory bricks, this furnace is estimated to be scrapped once, let alone steel training, you can't practice iron.

Jiang Yan looked up and saw a hot scene in the venue, with sporadic fires everywhere and black smoke everywhere.

The air was filled with a sulphur-smelling smoke, and even the sky was somewhat obscured by it.

Both men, women, and children were busy with their duties, and from time to time there were bursts of shouts, as if the stove was about to be opened.

Looking at these people, he didn't want to care about these things, but Jiang Yan thought about it and decided to make a move.

Even if you can't train qualified steel, it's a good thing to practice a little usable iron, otherwise it's too wasteful of resources.

"Leader, how is it, are we qualified to build like this?" Seeing Jiang Yan's visit, Ma Youcai asked Jiang Yan with hope.

Jiang Yan didn't answer immediately, but took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and took a hard puff.

"How many furnaces have you opened, and how many have you succeeded?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Ma Youcai's face showed some unnatural looks.

"This, three furnaces have been opened, and none of them have succeeded, so don't let the leaders guide and guide."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded, took a deep breath, and then said: "If you want to train steel, you have to listen to me, what I say, do what you do, if you can't do this, you can ask another master!" We don't want this stuff either. ”

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Ma Youcai groaned for a while.

"Leader, is the situation that serious? You really can't make steel. ”

Jiang Yan didn't say anything, and smoked a cigarette with cold eyes.

Seeing Jiang Yan like this, the smart Ma Youcai knew that the problem was quite serious, and there was no reason for a chief engineer to make this joke to himself.

"Leader, mine will discuss it with the leadership team."

"You manage and discuss, I'm going around here." Jiang Yan interrupted him, and went directly to the side with someone.

"Director, this leader is too ignorant."

"That's it, if you look at his attitude, it's clear that he looks down on us."

Seeing Jiang Yan and the people walking away without saying a word, the people around Ma Youcai began to talk nonsense.

"Enough, people are leaders, you can't talk nonsense, and besides, people are experts, you know experts! There are university people who ask people, call all the leaders, and have a meeting. ”

After Ma Youcai finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the office building, the person who spoke in steel, you look at me, I look at you, and after looking at it, they went separately to inform the relevant leaders.

"Boss, let's go! No, we want this thing, there's no need to put yourself in it. Through Jiang Yan's demeanor just now, how could the smart Xu Damao not guess that this matter was a bit difficult to handle, and after seeing the people from Shili Township Commune, he opened his mouth to persuade Jiang Yan.

At this time, he just wanted to give himself a few big mouths, and if he didn't have a lot of mouths, he couldn't make his boss so embarrassed.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, He Yuzhu also opened his mouth to persuade: "Boss, what Damao said is right, let's not wade into this troubled water, otherwise let's go!" ”

Hearing the consolation of these two people, Jiang Yan's heart also warmed.

"That's it! Don't persuade me, I know in my heart, it depends on how they choose, and I don't do it for them, but for these people. ”

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he pointed to the hot person who was doing it.

Seeing these people, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao didn't say anything.

Although he said that he couldn't change the torrent of history, and he also wanted to protect himself, but when he saw these people, he still softened, although he couldn't help the world, but he encountered it, and he could help him, otherwise he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"Pillar, Jiang Technology, how did you get here?"

Hearing someone call himself, Jiang Yan looked up and saw dozens of people coming from a distance with tools, wearing shabby clothes and patches, and he could hardly see the original material.

The luggage on their backs was also shabby, and some of them were even wearing straw sandals that they had woven themselves. Not to mention the tools brought, some people only have some sticks in their hands.

"Dad, why are you here, it's not how you dress up like this."

The people who came were the people of Qinjiazhuang, led by Qin Fengshou, the village chief and branch secretary of Qinjiazhuang, and Qin Daniu, He Yuzhu's father-in-law, was also among them.

Jiang Yan was also stunned when he saw them dressed up.

What is the situation of them, this Qinjiazhuang is poor, but it has not reached this point! What's going on with this ragged thing?

Why did this cow only come twice, I clearly remember the last time I went to Qinjiazhuang, there were several cows I saw, and this cow was also old, and the number of people was not right!

Qinjiazhuang is a big village, there are almost 300 households, how to count this strong labor force is more than 300, how can this come more than 200 laborers, calculate, they also brought out two-thirds of the strong labor, is there something wrong?

When a group of people from Qinjiazhuang arrived in front of everyone, Jiang Yan asked when he saw Qin Fengshou.

"Uncle Qin, is something going on? Why are you dressed up like that. ”

Hearing Jiang Yan ask, Qin Fengshou looked around cautiously and pulled Jiang Yan to whisper, "Nothing happened." Rest assured. ”

Hearing Qin Fengshou's words, Jiang Yan relieved himself and knew that Qin Fengshou seemed to have sensed something to do so.
