Chapter 92 The workers of the steel mill are uneasy, and Han Kun visits with a plan

"So that's it?"

An Ai was thoughtful, when he met Wang Ruofeng, he didn't know these things.

Ba Liming's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked: "Then what are you going to do next? Stay in Chang'an?" Regarding the plans of his former friend, he wanted to help, although limited to the identity of an official, it is estimated that he will not help much.

"That's nature. And I already have an idea, so you don't have to worry about it. An Ai smiled and refused Ba Liming's invitation, although he was not familiar with Chang'an, he did not want to rely on the help of his friends.

"Is it Wang Ruofeng?" Ba Liming felt a little lost in his heart, and complained: "Alas. I thought I could work with you, but it looks like I'm completely ruined. ”

An Ai smiled: "Even so, aren't I also in Chang'an? If there is a chance in the future, the two of us can still get together, right?"

"That's just as well. Ba Liming's regret dropped a little.

"Knock knock!"

Yang Chenglong knocked on the table, summoned the two of them to their senses, and interjected: "Although it is a little inappropriate, but my place is an office place, not a place for the two of you to catch up." Do you understand?" Ba Liming immediately showed shame and apologized: "I'm sorry minister, I made you wait for a while, and I will do what you tell me." ”

"I almost forgot, if you have something to do, then I won't bother. Ann Yay bowed and prepared to leave from here.

Just as he turned to leave, he was grabbed by Ba Liming's hand and complained: "I finally saw you, where can I let you leave easily? It just so happens that I am going to preside over the restoration of the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant, you might as well come along, and if you see anything wrong, you can also give us some suggestions, right?"

"Okay. ”

An Ai couldn't refuse, so she had to leave the place with Ba Liming.

Seeing the two of them go away, Yang Chenglong breathed a sigh of relief, that Ba Liming was able to get it, and Lu Liang's iron ore was discovered under his auspices, and it was because of this that he found this person and asked him to preside over the restoration project of Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant.

After all, the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant is related to the livelihood of thousands of workers, and it would be a pity if it was destroyed like this.

Since the Ministry of Industry left, Ba Liming took An Ai all the way to the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant, at this moment the building ruins of the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant have basically been cleaned up, and the machinery that was buried in the ruins has also been taken out and sorted out, but unfortunately the entire plant has been burned down, if it is to be restored, I am afraid that it will take a year of effort.

Looking at this, An Ai couldn't help but feel surprised: "What happened here to become like this?"

"Alas. Isn't it made up by the councillors? Knowing that the factory workers are tired, they still let them work all night, otherwise how can they invite such a disaster?"

Thinking about the information he saw, Ba Liming couldn't help but open his mouth and curse, he was also disgusted with those councilors, and he didn't know why the lord would let these guys who were full of copper smell also become councilors.

An Ai became a little curious, and continued to ask, "Oh? Can you tell me about it?"

"Of course, after all, this matter has already been started, and everyone in Chang'an knows about it, so you don't know it. Ba Liming nodded, and told everything he knew.

After hearing this, An Ai sighed and complained: "Alas. Didn't the Su family know that something would happen sooner or later if this continued?

"That's right. Otherwise, why is this Kuomintang party repeatedly seeking scolding, and has been consistently suppressed by the Kuomintang Party?"

When the two of them were sighing on the ruins, they saw a person walking over in the distance, although this person was wearing a Confucian robe, but he was extremely burly, and he was completely opposite to the student, it was Han Kun, one of the three most well-known candidates for the current chairmanship.

An Ai felt strange and asked, "Who are you?"

He is Han Kun, a candidate who intends to compete for the chairmanship in the near future. Of course you don't recognize it. Ba Liming introduced, then stood up to face the other party, and said, "It's just that why did you get here?"

Han Kun smiled and complained, "Of course, I'm curious about the progress of the restoration of the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant." After all, whether the steel plant can be repaired or not is related to the success of the five-year plan. As a member of parliament, shouldn't I be a little concerned about this?" Seeing that Ba Liming and An Ai looked vigilant, he spread his hands to show that he was not carrying a weapon, and said: "And I am not an enemy, so there is no need to be so nervous about me. ”

"Maybe. But after all, you used to be Song Chen, please forgive me for the previous collision. Ba Liming bowed his body to show his respect.

The other party is a member of parliament, who has the responsibility of supervising many bureaucrats, and although he is hostile to the other party, he should not provoke the other party.

Han Kun waved his hand, and he also showed a little distress: "It's okay." As a former Song Chen, it is natural that he will be questioned because of these experiences. His eyes swept over the machinery, and he was full of great curiosity, and asked, "By the way, about this steel plant, when is it estimated that it will be repaired?"

"Well, it will take at least half a year. After all, the house had been burned down, and if it was to be restored, it would have to be rebuilt, at least again, and it could not be done in the open air. Isn't it?" Ba Liming pondered for a moment, simulated the progress in his mind a little, and answered the other party's question, but he frowned, obviously the problem was more than that, "but the most important thing is the loss of workers. If the work is delayed, I am afraid that all these workers may leave. ”

After the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant was burned down, they were lucky enough to receive some compensation, but those compensation was far from being able to feed their families, and the most important thing was that the steel plant was slow to start, which made many people start to shake their minds and plan to choose another way.

The original Bao Ming was for this reason.

Na An Ai was also quite surprised, and asked: "It turns out that this steel plant has also become like this? I remember that ten years ago, this Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant was still quite brilliant. Thousands of workers come in and out every day, how can it be like this in less than ten years?"

"Alas. In the past, when there was rapid development, I didn't have an idea, but who would have thought that in recent years, construction has gradually slowed down, and this kind of thing happened. Ba Liming spread his hands and replied with a helpless face: "As for those workers, of course, it is impossible to dismiss them all, otherwise where will the workers come from after resuming work?" But you also know the state of the treasury, where did you get so much money?"

"Is that so?"

Han Kun thought for a while, then raised his head, but he made his own suggestion to Ba Liming: "In that case, why don't you leave the problem of those workers' back roads to me to deal with, how about it?"

Ba Liming was a little surprised, and asked, "I'll leave it to you, what are you going to do?"

You must know that this is thousands of workers, according to a person's salary of 300 yuan a year, it is 300,000 yuan a year, so much money is not a joke, with Han Kun's strength alone, how can he successfully settle these workers?

"Well, I don't know if you know about Chen Junsheng's Chen Ji Qian Zhuang?" Han Kun smiled, but looked at Ba Liming with some expectation.

Ba Liming's heart tightened, shook his head and replied: "Chen Ji Qianzhuang? I'm sorry, I really don't know what you said. ”

"I don't know, yes, I remember that you are from the Ministry of Industry, and you have been in charge of the construction of the Luliang Iron and Steel Plant before, and you have only recently been transferred back to Chang'an. No wonder Chen Junsheng's fortune is unclear. Only then did Han Kun remember the other party's resume, and then complained: "As for this Chen Junsheng, he is a businessman who is preparing to compete for the council recently, so I investigated him. ”

"Oh, then tell me, what is the connection between this Chen Ji Qian Zhuang and Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant? Ba Liming was intrigued.

An Ai also felt strange, and looked at each other together, wanting to see some of each other's methods.

Han Kun smiled and complained: "Of course, it doesn't matter much, it's just that in order to strengthen itself, this Chen Ji Qian Zhuang often borrows money from some small factory owners for the sake of helping some people develop, saying that it is to help these factory owners develop." ”

"I don't believe that there is such a good person in this world? I'm afraid that this person has bad intentions. An Ai snorted softly, he had always maintained a considerable disgust for these merchants.

Han Kun nodded and replied, "That's right." At the beginning, those factory owners did survive the crisis for a short time, but after a short time, they would fall into operational difficulties for various reasons, resulting in the inability to turn over funds. He was forced to hand over the deed, the factory and even the title deed to this person. It is precisely because of this that Chen Junsheng has accumulated considerable wealth in a short period of time. ”

And so it was. Ba Liming showed some disgust.

An Ai also scolded: "This guy is really dark." In that case, you didn't stop each other?"

"This, of course those who were deceived wanted to, but when they borrowed the money, Chen Junsheng signed a contract with them, with black and white with handprints, even if it was sued to the court, how much could he do?" Han Kun shook his head and sighed at those who were deceived.

Ba Liming's heart moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Since this is the case, then why are you telling me this?"

In order to live, those workers need money urgently, but the government does not have enough money to sustain itself until this time next year.

"Then it's just that Chen Junsheng used this method to harm people, you actually plan to take similar measures?" An Ai is also full of anger, although he is not a low-level person, he also knows that the people are lonely, how can he bear this kind of oppression?

"That's right. Otherwise, how are you going to solve the problem of resettlement of workers?"

Han Kun generously admitted it, not hiding his thoughts at all: "Let them go like this? As someone who has presided over the construction of a steel mill, you should be quite aware of the cost of training a qualified craftsman. But if we want to feed it like this, the treasury will not have enough money. The construction of railways and roads alone has taken up a lot of budget, so where is the extra money to invest here?"

"That said. But your method is too radical. And if it is according to your method, what about the reserves? Could it be that you are planning to embezzle the money for the resettlement of workers?" replied Ba Liming.

In order to settle these workers, Xiao Feng took 100,000 yuan from the treasury, and he, as its host, did not dare to squander it at will, lest he end up with a property and reputation like Su Lan.

Han Kun nodded and replied, "That's right. Otherwise, where did you get so much money? You know, you're just an ordinary bureaucrat, where do you get so much money? ”

"What about you? Since you have put forward this idea, don't you have some intentions?" asked Ba Liming rhetorically, "Although you are a member of parliament, you don't have a salary or anything like that. And you, as Song Chen, should not have so much money since you came to Chang'an. ”

Everyone knows that because of some historical reasons, the reason why Xiao Feng came up with these so-called parliamentarians who supervise hundreds of officials and formulate strategies is completely out of winning over the local gentry and clans, and one of the requirements for parliamentarians is to pay taxes according to the prescribed taxes.

Although it was indeed complained by many people at the beginning, it was later implemented under the strong promotion of Xiao Feng, and the price was that the local ruling power completely fell into the hands of the parliamentarians.

The councillors in the townships and counties, like Zhang Feng, directly run rampant in the localities, so that local officials have to bow their heads, and parties such as the Kuomintang directly intervene in policies and formulate various policies suited to their own interests.

Needless to say, you also understand.

Han Kun laughed and said, "That's nature. But I think your father-in-law really wants to see these workers disperse?"

"What do you mean by that?" Ba Liming's heart shook slightly, and he felt that the other party seemed to have something to say.

The corners of Han Kun's mouth curled, and he continued: "Others may not know, but as an official directly involved in the five-year plan, you should know that the entire five-year plan is completely prepared to be able to fight Guanzhong and unify China. Otherwise, why build such a long railway? Connecting all the state capitals, so that all the forces can be concentrated in just two days, such a grand plan, if it is only for the people's livelihood would be a joke. After all, this steel plant almost collapsed because of this. Although timely rescue so that it does not collapse completely. ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Ba Liming was silent, looking at the other party deadly.
