Chapter 44: The Great Harvest


Not only were all the camphor trees on the river beach cut down, but the pines and cypresses on Yunshan Mountain in the western suburbs were also damaged.

Some large cypress trees that had been growing for hundreds of years were also sawed off and dragged down the mountain to serve socialist construction.

Building a blast furnace requires refractory bricks.

Several brick factories near Beitai were unable to supply them despite working overtime, so the masses used ordinary red bricks to build the blast furnace.

After several accidents, some people brought experience from other places and said it was more than a hundred years old.

The large green bricks are refractory.

In neighboring counties, old houses are demolished to build blast furnaces, but Beitai is an emerging city and there are no ancient buildings, so this method cannot be used.

Facts have proved that nothing can stump the people.

There is an ancient pagoda on Yunshan Mountain.

It is impossible to determine whether it is the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.

Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin came to inspect it and drew pictures.

It must be old enough, so this is it.

The cadres and masses of the flour mill in the western suburbs came to Yunshan Mountain with hoes and sledgehammers and began to demolish the ancient pagoda.

Some elderly Buddhists nearby came to dissuade them, saying that it was a cultural relic and could not be demolished.

"Old man, you are backward in thinking.

We are not demolishing randomly.

We have a purpose.

We demolished this ancient pagoda to build a blast furnace to make steel and make artillery shells.

Maybe these two artillery shells will be the only thing missing in the final battle against Taiwan, right?

No more cultural relics.

Important, can be more important than liberating Taiwan."

The old people were convinced and speechless.

As the sun set, a seven-story pagoda was quickly demolished, and the ancient bricks were transported away, leaving only a mess on the ground, rotten wooden Buddha statues, and infinite desolation.

In the yard of the flour mill, an earthen blast furnace was built with ancient green bricks, and it was used in the vigorous steel-making movement.

When it comes to steelmaking, the first place is naturally Jiangbei Iron and Steel Plant.

They do this professionally, so it can’t be considered an achievement.

Among other enterprises and institutions, Chenguang Machinery Factory ranks first.

Chenguang Factory is a large enterprise with a solid foundation and technology.

On the one hand, they did their jobs well, and on the other hand, they organized workers, young women and other off-duty workers to make steel.

The person in charge was Ma Chunhua, deputy secretary of the factory party committee.

Although Ma Chunhua's cultural quality is not high, she understands the truth very well.

She knows that if she wants to make really good steel, she must ask a famous teacher to guide her, so she invites Mu Yichen, the general manager of the steel plant who has stepped aside, to be her teacher.

Mu Yichen also He did not hesitate to teach, and under his guidance, a relatively advanced Martin open-hearth furnace, commonly known as the foreign blast furnace, was built, equipped with high-power blowers and other equipment.

Chenguang Factory took advantage of its own advantages and organized a batch of high-quality iron ore and coke to smelt steel.

Chen Bei was not to be outdone.

He went to work in person and was on duty in front of the furnace day and night, wearing canvas overalls and protective glasses, holding a steel drill in his hand. , the posture is no different from that of a real steel worker.

The general headquarters of the prefectural committee gave an order, the whistle blew, and another round of steelmaking began.

Production was stepped up at the front and grain and grass support was provided at the rear.

The whole city turned into a large construction site, with seniors in their 70s and 80s, as well as primary school students with red scarves, All are invested in production, young people work hard to make steel, lesbians cook at home, old people and children push carts, use lunch boxes and thermos buckets to transport meals to the construction site, just like supporting the People's Liberation Army in the three major battles, they support their relatives in the refinery steel.

The lesbian who was in charge of entertainment performances and morale-boosting stood on a high place and sang a self-written Allegro: "A blast furnace, tall, with shoulders close to Chang'e's house.

Chang'e was so shocked that she raised her chest and looked up, and she was covered with iron particles." .

In front of Martin's open-hearth furnace, Chen Bei held the front half of the red-hot steel drill and threw it back and forth in the furnace.

Iron particles flew everywhere, and his clothes were riddled with holes and his skin was burned with big blisters.

But he Never flinch, pay no attention, and concentrate on making steel.

The molten steel from Chenguang Factory came out, and the dark red molten steel flowed into the mold made of sand, forming a large five-pointed star with five large steel characters, "Long Live the Communist Party."

The steel five-star and the big characters slowly cooled and turned from red to blue, which is the color of steel.

When they were knocked, there was a clang, and the soldiers cheered and raised the steel five-star and went to the prefectural committee to report the good news.

Mu Yichen, the general instructor on the side, sighed secretly.

He didn't know the quality or composition of this kind of steel at all.

It was all played by hand.

It was really backward.

It was still the most high-end product.

Some people in the unit had never seen it in their lives.

I have been through the blast furnace and don’t know chemical formulas at all.

I just came here to study and observe for a few hours and thought I had mastered all the procedures and could be a tutor when I went back.

It was child’s play to mess around like this.

However, the Chenguang Factory produced a good batch of steel, and the leaders of the prefectural committee were quite satisfied.

They awarded the mobile red flag to the Chenguang Factory Steel Commando and named it the Rocket Unit.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Chenguang Factory has a strong foundation and many talents, so it naturally strives to reach the top.

However, some collective units are not so lucky.

An accident occurred at the Xijiao Flour Mill where the ancient tower was demolished to build a blast furnace.

A middle-aged worker had not slept for three days and three nights.

In a daze, he rammed a steel drill filled with water into the red furnace, causing an explosion.

He was killed on the spot, and more than ten workers around him were slightly or seriously injured.

A house also collapsed, and it also caused The fire burned several houses.

Rumors spread, saying that it was retribution for demolishing the ancient pagoda, or that the Bodhisattva was punishing him, etc., and people were panicked for a while.

The organization quickly came forward to care for the deceased's family and condolences to the injured.

The flour mill party committee assigned the deceased a work-related death, and specially recruited the deceased's wife to work in the factory cafeteria.

Live things.

But people died in steelmaking, and fire cannot be contained in paper.

A reporter from Jiangbei Daily came to interview and asked some about the accident.

The young reporter went back to write a press release.

After a long time of work, he finally wrote it.

The title was "How can ironmaking be ignored without regard to safety?"

, a serious accident occurred at a flour mill in the western suburbs of our city.”

I was about to go to the editor-in-chief's office to hand in my manuscript when suddenly a voice came from behind: "It's not okay to write like this."

The young reporter looked back and saw that it was Ruan Mingchuan, a rightist from the provincial capital.

This man used to be the editor-in-chief and president of the provincial newspaper and was a powerful figure.

So he asked very humbly: "Senior, what do you think should be written?"

"

Ruan Mingchuan couldn't help it.

He took out the Parker pen from his pocket, crossed out the original title on the manuscript paper, and wrote a new paragraph: How can we be afraid of sacrifice in iron-making?

A group of heroic steel heroes emerged from the flour mill in the western suburbs of our city.

The reporter was stunned: "You can still write like this" Ruan Mingchuan said: "You are right to listen to me."

The young reporter was dubious, so he re-wrote the manuscript according to the old man's instructions and sent it to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief signed it immediately after reading it, patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Young people grow up very quickly."

After seeing the newspaper, the Propaganda Department of the Prefectural Committee intervened, and the scene became huge.

Reporters from all walks of life went to the western suburbs flour mill to interview the factory leaders and the family members of the deceased.

The leaders of the Prefectural Committee personally asked and awarded the deceased the honorary title of Steelmaking Martyr.

As a blessing in disguise, the flour mill received technical support and special supplies of coke from the steel plant, and began to smelt iron with great success.

Ruan Mingchuan was voluntarily transferred to the Beitai Newspaper Office to use his remaining energy.

He created a sensational propaganda drama with a little effort.

How could he not attract the attention of the propaganda department?

However, the leader of the Propaganda Department of the Prefectural Committee did not like Ruan Mingchuan.

He said that this man was not willing to be left alone after being labeled as a rightist.

He jumped up and down, and a piece of instructions sent him to the Nantai County newspaper office.

On the day he went to the countryside, the autumn air was crisp and cloudless.

Ruan Mingchuan was originally feeling a little depressed.

But when he saw the golden crops on both sides of the road while sitting on the mule cart, he suddenly became enlightened and couldn't help but praise: "Golden Autumn October is the harvest season."

At the same time, the secretary of the Nantai County Party Committee also expressed the same emotion.

Nantai County is mainly based on agriculture, and his energy is mainly focused on promoting agriculture to promote production.

The large-scale steelmaking is just a guest appearance, as long as the meaning is met.

This year is a good harvest year.

This is all due to the transformation of people's communes.

The people are working more energetically.

It would be strange if the harvest is not good.

Secretary Yang is standing on a hillock, wearing a Chinese tunic suit and standing with his arms crossed.

Two cadres are holding maps in front of him.

Expand it for the county party secretary to give guidance.

"Our commune has deployed satellites in industry, and we must also deploy satellites in agriculture."

Yang Shugen said to Li Huazi, secretary of Kushuijing Commune.

Li Huazi took a small notebook and pretended to record it.

In fact, he didn't know a lot of words, and he was just pretending.

"Yes, Secretary Yang, I estimate that this year's yield per mu will be double that of previous years."

Li Huazi said.

"It's only doubled."

Yang Shugen shook his head.

"I can't help but see that the masses are so motivated.

They eat in the big cafeteria and they don't strive to be the best.

How many times more."

"Yes, yes, I'm conservative, at least eight to ten times, the yield per mu is four thousand, oh no, five thousand catties," Li Huazi said, spitting stars.

Yang Shugen frowned and said: "As far as I know, our commune implements deep plowing of the land, high-density planting, and the use of high-quality rice seeds.

The members cultivate intensively.

The yield of five thousand kilograms per mu is really not worth boasting about."

Li Huazi was dumbfounded.

What was Secretary Yang doing?

He was supposed to have worked at the grassroots level.

How could the crops be harvested?

Didn't he know that five thousand kilograms is enough to break the cowhide?

Why did Secretary Yang still think the cowhide was not big enough?

"Secretary Yang, please remind me, what is the appropriate yield per mu?"

Li Huazi is a farmer after all, so he directly asked such an incompetent question.

Naturally, Yang Shugen would not answer him.

The county party secretary smiled, turned around and walked away.

The road was uneven and his shoulders were swaying, but the Chinese tunic suit he was wearing did not fall off.

Li Huazi trotted after him: "Secretary Yang, please give me instructions."

Yang Shugen said: "Old Li, your thinking is still conservative.

Let me tell you one thing, how bold a person is, how productive the land is."

After saying this, Secretary Yang got into the jeep and drove away, leaving behind a confused Li Huazi.

Li Huazi once again summoned the commune's women directors, accountants, militia captains and others to discuss it all night, and finally came up with a way to take the best-growing wheat seedlings from the best wheat fields in the commune, uproot them with soil, and pick them out.

In the test field, the wheat seedlings were planted closely together without leaving any gaps between them.

The denser the wheat seedlings, the better.

The members immediately took action and transplanted an acre of high-yield experimental field in the shortest possible time.

The wheat ears were plump and arranged in an airtight row.

Once completed, they immediately sent people to report to the county committee.

Yang Shugen came again, and this time he was in a good mood.

He walked around the wheat field with his hands behind his back, nodding from time to time, with a smile on his lips.

"Gou Sheng, go up and roll around."

Li Huazi looked at his words and said to a little boy.

The little boy climbed onto the wheat field and jumped up and down.

The wheat field remained motionless.

"Okay, very good."

Yang Shugen was very satisfied.

He waved and the secretary came over.

"I reported the good news to the prefectural and provincial committees that an agricultural satellite has been launched in our county.

The specific output is not yet clear.

We need to ask the leaders of the prefectural and provincial committees to inspect and supervise the project together with the news units."

Yang Shugen said enthusiastically
