The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

"Hello, rolling mill security department."

"Xiao Ming, I am Chen Guodong."

Li Ming smiled and asked: "Section Chief, is there anything urgent?"

Section Chief Chen said calmly: "Qian Jin went to Xiaotangshan Commune in Changping in the morning."

"Now he's been detained by members of their militia group."

Li Ming took the initiative and asked, "Do you want me to take someone to get him back?"

Section Chief Chen didn't intend to be polite when he made this call, "I'm in the west of the city and can't leave. Please take some people to take a look."

"Qian Jin must have said that he was from our steel rolling mill, but the other party still didn't let him go. He said he needed to explain a few words."

There will definitely be no problem with safety, and there will definitely be no hardship. It may be that the employer will be asked to pick them up.

Li Ming laughed and said, "Even if I go alone, I can bring the money back."

"I took 20 people in a truck and took the guys with me to let them know our determination."

Chief Chen originally wanted to persuade Chief Li not to show off, but now he was afraid that he would act recklessly, so he quickly persuaded him instead: "It's best not to use your gun. Don't make the matter a big deal, and try to convince people with reason."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am reliable. Then I will just take five or six people with me without a gun."

"Which brigade were you detained in specifically?"

Section Chief Chen also heard the news, "Qian Jin called Li Xueyao and said that he was detained in the Mahe Brigade. You go there first and take a look."

"Okay, I see."

Li Ming hung up the phone and called someone immediately.

After a while, the small truck drove towards the countryside carrying the security officers.

The distance is not far or close, it takes more than 20 minutes by car.

Xiaotangshan, Mahe Brigade Headquarters.

Purchaser Qian Jin is indeed intact, "Captain Shang, if you made the right call, our steel rolling mill will send someone over soon."

Commander Shang of the militia regiment scolded: "Be honest! Do you think your behavior of undermining the unified purchasing and marketing system is glorious?"

The captain of Ma He got two pieces of scrap paper and said, "Captain Shang, you talk to him slowly here. I'll go to the latrine."

Captain Shang nodded and said, "I'll talk to him about the policy."

Before 1965, many communes were organized as militia divisions, and divisions were withdrawn to form regiments.

A production brigade with enough people is a militia battalion; a production brigade with a small number of people is a militia company. Several production brigades can form a militia battalion when they are put together.

The regiment leader is well-known, but his actual position is mostly that of the Minister of Human Resources and Arms.

Qian Jin still insisted on his previous defense, "Captain Shang, I followed the city's regulations. I did things according to the regulations and never thought of causing sabotage."

Captain Shang asked: "City? Which city? Which document was issued when?"

Qian Jin recounted: “Documents issued in 63, 64, and 65 all allowed members to go into the city to sell meat, fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, sweet potatoes, fruits and other by-products after completing state purchases and fulfilling purchase contracts. Food and specialty products.”

"The workers in our steel rolling mill have a deep relationship with the farmers, so the factory arranged for us to take the initiative to go to the countryside to purchase goods to reduce the farmers' transportation burden."

The authorities have given general guidance and regulations, "What is allowed, what is not allowed, and to what extent are allowed are decided by each province and city." '

Captain Shang slapped the table, "Under the current new situation, you are still obeying the wrong orders issued by the old municipal party committee."

"It seems that there is something wrong with your thinking!"

Qian Jinhaohan didn't want to suffer the immediate loss, so he shirked the responsibility and said, "You have to tell the leader of our unit about this. I am just an ordinary clerk and do things according to the tasks given by the leader of the factory."

Commander Shang taught him a lesson: "If there is a wrong order, you should resolutely raise objections."

"How can I execute it in such a confused manner like you?"

Qian Jin said sincerely: "You are right, where is this new document? I also want to make progress. If I learn and make progress, I will not make mistakes again."

Leader Shang said plausibly: "The newly established poverty management group in our commune has just held a meeting to decide, but it has not yet been printed and posted."

“In the future, things can only be sold to the purchasing stations of supply and marketing cooperatives.”

During this period, it was purely local policies carried out privately by various localities.

Set up checkpoints on traffic arteries to check the items carried by pedestrians and implement regional blockades.

Others are still unsure. First, the latest files are not broadcast on the radio, so they are easily fooled;

Second, there is no place to report the situation, and you may be retaliated against if you come back;

Third, there are purchases at the purchasing station, but the price is lower than the retail price on the market, so it will not make people anxious.

Qian Jin was from the steel rolling mill and not from the commune. Now he was really unconvinced.

The number of employees and cadres in the steel rolling mill plus their families may be larger than that of a commune in the countryside. The level of steel rolling mills is also much higher than that of communes.

Qian Jin retorted: "Our rolling mill is a unit managed by the Ministry of Metallurgy, and my director is no lower than the director in your county."

"How can the regulations issued by your commune apply to our steel rolling mill? It doesn't make sense."

Captain Shang said confidently: "Everyone should listen to us when they reach our territory."

Qian Jin asked: "Then do you still want to listen to the market?"

Captain Shang chuckled, "I didn't listen to the old ones, but I listen to them now. All the previous documents don't count, so we held a meeting to discuss and decide on the new regulations."

"We need to launch a massive campaign to strengthen market management and crack down on speculation."

That is to say, Qian Jin has the tiger skin from the steel rolling mill on his body, otherwise the treatment would not be so good.

Those who have been stubborn for so long have been punished long ago.

Section Chief Li's minivan drove directly to the Mahe Brigade Headquarters.

As soon as the car was parked, the second captain Peng Zhiping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately got out of the car and organized the team.

"Assemble!" "Stand at attention!" "Take a break!" "Look to the right!".

Although there were only a few people, the whole set of actions not only cheered up the people in the security department, but also showed their strength.

Li Ming walked towards several militiamen, bowing first and then fighting, "Hello comrades, it seems that a famous buyer of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has been arrested by you."

The coming person was so powerful that a tall militiaman replied nervously: "Inside, our commander Shang is talking to him."

"I'll take you there right now."

Li Ming said kindly: "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Captain Shang heard some movement outside, poked his head out of the room, and asked loudly: "What's going on?"

Section Chief Li did not introduce himself, so the tall militiaman could only say vaguely: "The leader of the steel rolling mill is here."

Captain Shang thought to himself, 'It came quite quickly. '

Li Ming had already discovered that Qian Jin was fine, so he was not in a hurry, "Captain Shang, I am Li Ming, the deputy leader of the security team of the Steel Rolling Mill Committee."

"It seems that Comrade Qian Jin, the buyer of our factory, has been detained by you."

Captain Shang asked: "He is purchasing materials from us that are purchased and distributed by the state, and he claims that it was arranged by your factory?"

Li Ming nodded and admitted: "The factory has arranged for them to go to the countryside to purchase." Captain Shang thought he was on the right side and asked: "Then you lack a correct view of the problem. How can you carry out this kind of thing that disrupts the market order?" activity?"

Li Ming is not afraid of verbal fights. You reason with me and I will talk with you.

"I think what you said is very right. But our factory is a steel rolling mill, and there are many employees engaged in heavy physical labor."

"The meat allocated by the planning department cannot meet the nutritional needs of all factory workers."

"The factory can't just watch them suffer and not eat well and wear out their bodies, right?"

Captain Shang persisted, "That won't undermine the state's policy of unified purchasing and marketing. You can apply to the higher authorities for additional plans."

Li Ming complained bitterly: "Reports are made every year. The director of the purchasing department of our factory runs around in the planning committee, commerce bureau, non-staple food commerce bureau and other departments every day. He can't see anyone in the factory."

"The application cannot be approved. The factory can only purchase in the market, go to the countryside to purchase, etc., and try various methods to purchase more to supplement the nutrition of the employees."

It is normal that the application cannot be approved. The reasoning just now has gone beyond normal. Leader Shang said at a loss for words: "Then you can overcome the difficulties for the time being."

Li Ming sighed and said: "The master worker has been persisting for a long time. There is a limit to overcoming difficulties. If this continues, the worker's body will not be able to bear it."

"If you don't believe what I say, you can send someone or go to our factory in person to participate in labor production and experience it for a month and a half."

"Then they will definitely understand the difficulties of our factory."

Li Ming could use his power to overwhelm people and take them away directly.

However, this road leads to Qin Huairu's hometown, and there are many production teams along the way. In the future, there will be no shortage of materials transported to the steel rolling mill on this road.

On the main road of communication, he tried his best to persuade people with emotion and reason.

Captain Shang moderated: "But your purchasing behavior has encouraged the unhealthy habits of members in engaging in economic transactions."

"Let them think only of their own selfish interests and embark on the path of capital."

Crackdown on private sales and market trade is not just looking for trouble. With such a free trading market, some people will inevitably sell things that should not be sold.

Some even colluded with internal and external parties, and colluded with urban and rural areas to steal and sell some national and collective materials.

Things like food can be leftovers from home, but wires, steel, metal materials, etc. are not things that ordinary people have.

From time to time, there will be documents requesting enhanced investigation and handling.

Of course, Li Ming would not refute it directly, "This is indeed a very serious problem."

"However, the purchasers of our steel rolling mill have always purchased from the production team and production brigade. We generally do not purchase materials from individual members."

"Our factory is large with 10,000 people. We have too few supplies. They are not enough to fill the gap between teeth, and they are not enough to cover the cost of sending buyers to the countryside."

Captain Shang pointed in the direction of the room where Qian Jin was staying, "The Qian Jin we caught bought the sheep and chickens of the commune members."

"The name he chose is also very problematic. He is called Qian Jin. He is obsessed with money."

Li Ming's excuses are many, "It seems that Comrade Qian Jin has a problem at work, which caused you to misunderstand."

"In order to solve the problem of meat-eating for workers, our steel rolling mill did not want to increase the burden on the country, so we built a new breeding farm in Nantai Commune."

"The newly built breeding farm needs to purchase a batch of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese in order to breed and expand the breeding scale."

"Let the purchaser inquire with each production team to purchase some unplanned lambs, calves, and piglets."

Captain Shang suddenly said: "So that's what happened."

Li Ming then said nonsense: "There was a misunderstanding, and it's all Comrade Qian Jin's fault for not doing his job properly."

"My parents gave me the name. I can't blame him for this. He wanted to change his name a long time ago."

"But he said that he would memorize all the quotations before changing his name, so as to stimulate his own ideological progress."

"He has a poor memory and limited personal talent. He can only recite more than 100 items so far. He still has a long way to go."

At this time, Li Ming took out the big front door to smoke cigarettes for Captain Shang. He did not take out the better Peony cigarettes, so it was not suitable to smoke them for the time being.

If he misunderstood Section Chief Li as a corrupted person, then the explanation just now would be in vain.

Captain Shang was polite and took his cigarette, "It seems there was a misunderstanding."

"Comrade Qian Jin is sitting in the back room. He can leave now."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Let's not be in a hurry. Let him reflect inside first."

"Captain Shang, I would like to discuss something with you again."

Captain Shang lit the cigarette himself and said, "You tell me."

The tasks given by Section Chief Chen Guodong have been completed, and Li Ming started busy with his own business.

"Family members of our steel rolling mill got together to build a ham processing factory with 100 employees. The factory will soon be expanded to 500 employees and requires a lot of pork."

"As I said just now, it is difficult to get new indicators from the planning department. The processing factory wants to cooperate with communes and production brigades in the countryside to build pig farms together."

"Is your commune interested?"

Captain Shang wondered: "Build a pig farm? The production brigade below us already has a pig farm."

Li Ming advised: "We can expand the scale! Or you can provide land, the processing factory can build its own pig farm, and the pig farmers can use people from your commune."

"The wages are 8 cents a day. Normally no strong labor is needed."

Not far from the city, with convenient transportation and a large river with plenty of water, this place is very suitable for raising pigs.

The ham processing plant has 500 people this time and can continue to expand next time, when more pigs will be needed.

Only by building some pig farms by yourself can you ensure a stable supply of some raw materials.

Otherwise, there will be problems with the supply of live pigs, and the processing plants will reduce production or even stop operations. Workers' wages will have to be paid, and the processing plants will suffer serious losses.

He was also afraid that a big pig farm would get sick and cause heavy casualties, so he might as well build pig farms in the east, west, north and south, so that not all of them would die.

Captain Shang said excitedly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, we have to discuss it in a meeting."

"There will definitely be a meeting to discuss."

Li Ming's routines were one after another, "I would first like to invite the leaders of your 'frontline headquarters' and the leaders of the Mahe Production Brigade to visit the ham sausage processing factory."

"Take a day and a half to see the hot production scene of the processing plant."

“With the up-close knowledge of field trips, they make better decisions.”

Captain Shang hesitated and said: "Will too many people disturb your production? Our commune will hold a meeting first to discuss the candidates."

It is common to go out to visit and study.

Qian Jin's small matter was solved, and Li Ming also found a suitable pig-raising site, and the trip was not in vain.

On the way back to the city.

The second captain, Peng Zhiping, went to the side of the car and left money to get into the passenger seat.

Qian Jin complained: "Recently, the purchase in the countryside has not gone well everywhere."

Li Ming drove the car, staring ahead, and casually advised:

"There are very few people eating in the small canteen recently, and there are supplies from Nantai Breeding Farm and Dongfeng Commune. You don't have to work so hard." (End of Chapter)
