Chapter 218: Westward Inspection

On August 2, the anti-Japanese heroine Zhao Sanman died. This is a legendary woman, she was originally a lady in Sichuan, named Li Kuntai, joined the Red Party in 1926, and was admitted to the sixth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy in the same year, and then was sent to study at Moscow University in the Soviet Union, and served as the political commissar of a certain department of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation in 1935. In 1950, the movie "Zhao Sanman" was released nationwide, and her husband and son watched it over and over again, but they didn't know that it was their relatives!

This is a tear-jerking story!

The ancient Chinese nation, like the new sprouts of dead trees in spring, gradually grew into towering trees by relying on bits and pieces of blood and tears.

On August 10, Qin Di and Yan Xue left the magic capital again and went to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to inspect the Qin family's enterprises.

They first went to see the Cathay Pacific pharmaceutical factory in Chongqing.

In addition to the bungalows that served as factories, there were several small two-story buildings, all of which were bomb shelters underground, some of which were located in the belly of the mountain, protected by thick rocks that could not be blown through by bombs.

Qin Di instructed his subordinate Zhou Ming to move the grain reserves of the Qin clan in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the grain reserves in Jinling, Anqing and Jiujiang, as much as possible, and move part of the grain to the Geyue Mountain air-raid shelter, and the other part to the western city of Dukou.

At the same time, he also asked Zhou Ming to continue to build more houses around Chongqing, preparing to meet the officers and soldiers who retreated westward, and rent out the houses.

Subsequently, Qin Di left Geyue Mountain and arrived at Aiping Mountain by boat to inspect the large granary there, which alone stored 5 million tons of grain. Gu Ruhu's father, Gu Han, sent a company of soldiers to guard it. Those soldiers said that they were part of the Sichuan army, but they were actually private soldiers recruited by the Gu family, and they were commanded by the fourth master Gu Chen on weekdays.

Qin Di left dozens of machine guns here to strengthen the protection of the granary.

Gu Chen hosted a banquet at home to welcome Qin Di and Yan Xue, with a happy smile on his face.

In the past two years, according to the agreement, the Gu family not only got a rent every year, but also took grain from the granary and sold it in the surrounding towns, earning a lot of silver money, doubling the family's wealth, so Gu Chen was very happy.

In addition, Gu Ruhu's skill has improved significantly, just like a humanoid tank, he can fight hundreds of them alone, which also makes Gu Chen feel surprised and realize that Qin Di is extraordinary.

Gu Chen diligently kept persuading the wine: "Mr. Qin, please drink this cup full!"

Qin Di bottomed out: "Mr. Gu, there have been floods in the Yangtze River basin in the past two years, and the surrounding people are having a good time?"

"Well, how can it be better? barely half-full, as long as you don't die of hunger. Thanks to the fact that you have brought so much food, the disaster has been alleviated a lot. ”

"Now that the situation has changed, it is difficult to buy as much food as before. ”

"Why?"

"First, the US economy has come out of the Great Depression, and grain prices have begun to rise; second, the world is not at peace, and war may break out next year, and warships from other countries will block the Wusong Pass, and the ships carrying grain will not be able to enter!"

"Are you saying that China is going to war with Japan, and that they will attack the magic capital again?"

Gu Chen's second brother is the brigade commander of the Sichuan Army, and the younger brother works in the Jinling Ministry of Education, and often writes back, plus he can still read old newspapers, so he knows more about state affairs.

Qin Di said: "That's right, the scale of this war will only be greater, and the Japanese may occupy the magic capital." Therefore, the existing grain has to be saved, and I am afraid that in the next seven or eight years, it may not be possible to open up the Yangtze River shipping. ”

"Seven or eight years? Then the life of the Chinese people will not be easy!"

"Mr. Gu, how many children do you have?"

"I have two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son is only 13 years old. I'm studying in the school. ”

"What do you want them to do when they become adults?"

"You can do anything, as long as you can go out, don't stay at home for the rest of your life like me. ”

Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "You can still stay at home, and when the children grow up, you can't stay at home if you want to." ”

Gu Chen asked, "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?"

Qin Dixin said: "Stay at home and be a farmer, can the children be willing?" and said: "The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps." Only when young people go out can they gain insight and do great things. ”

Gu Chen said with a smile: "What you said has come to my heart! I hope the children will have a future in the future." ”

Subsequently, Qin Di went to Dukou City to inspect the steel plant, coking plant, magnetite mine, coal yard, as well as bicycle parts and Minsheng auto parts factory.

Shenlong Bicycle and Minsheng Automobile Factory use their own steel, which is cast directly in Dukou City according to certain specifications, and then sent to the magic capital by ship, plus the rest of the parts, and assembled.

When Zhang Zhenye, the director of the factory, met Qin Di, he was accompanied by a young man.

"Mr. Qin, this is my son, named Zhang Haisheng, graduated from Tsinghua University, 28 years old this year, and has been in the factory for two years. I'll bring him over for you to see. ”

Qin Di smiled and communicated with the other party.

Zhang Haisheng is neither humble nor arrogant, and his answers are fluent, and he seems to not only have a family background, but also have a good education in school.

Qin Di said: "Elder Zhang, I see that your health is okay, strive to work for two more years, and then hand over the shift." You choose the new factory director, the Haisheng brothers are good, but they are younger. If Zhang Lao persists for another five years, he will be able to rise to the top. ”

Zhang Zhenye grinned and said: "I am 63 this year, and in another five years, it is difficult to say whether I can move or not." ”

Qin Di said: "It doesn't matter if you can't walk, let people push you in a wheelchair! You are only in charge of the overall situation, and the specific affairs are taught to the young people to do." ”

"Recently, we have conducted more in-depth exploration of iron ore and coal yards, and we have found that these two minerals are rich in reserves and will not be exhausted for at least 50 years. ”

Qin Di smiled: "I just care about the next ten years, and then, hehe......"

Zhang Zhenye smiled and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you have a son?"

"Hehe, sooner or later. ”

Zhang Zhenye glanced at Yan Xue and thought she was pregnant, but seeing that she was slender and didn't look like she was pregnant, he thought: "Could it be that Qin Dashao found a wild woman? The young master of a big family, although he is a smart person, his self-control is too poor and he can't control his lower body!"

Qin Di stayed in Dukou City for two days, and then traveled up the Yangtze River with Yan Xue.

They searched all the way to the source of the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River has four sources: the Zhengyuan branch is the first-class Tongtian River, that is, the upper section of the Tongtian River in ancient times; the southern source Dangqu comes from the marshland of the eastern foothills of the Tanggula Mountains, and accepts Dangqu to form the second-level Tongtian River; the Tuotuo River, the northern branch of the Zhengyuan, begins from the main peak of the Tanggula Mountains, the Gradan East Ice Peak, and accepts the Tuotuo River to form the third-level Tongtian River; the northern source Chumar River comes from the southern foot of the Black Ridge Mountain of the Hoh Xili Mountain on the southern branch of the Kunlun Mountains, and accepts it to form the fourth-level Tongtian River.

The source of the Yangtze River in 1936 was inaccessible, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost.
