Chapter 128***! The era of steelmaking

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Dongxian County Town.

After Tang Lei arrived at Dongxian County, he parked his jeep on the side of the road and took a short rest in the car.

Tang Lei was resting in the car, but he didn't feel the excitement he felt about to buy valuable Hainan Huanghuali at a low price.

Because of the experiences and experiences along the way over the past three hours, Tang Lei regretted coming to this year of 1958!

Before Tang Lei came, he had actually carefully understood the history of 1958 and knew in his heart that this period was a dark time!

But when he saw with his own eyes that large tracts of mature crops along the way, all of which rotted in the ground because no one harvested them and became fertilizer for the land, Tang Lei's heart still felt a little sympathetic to the people living in this era.

Tang Lei comes from the future. He knows the consequences of this incident. A few years later, a great famine that swept across the country will inevitably happen!

And because of this nationwide famine, many people will die in every place!

The reason for the great famine is that no one harvests these mature crops and rots in the fields!

But why don’t those who have planted these crops come to harvest crops? Just let the grain rot in the fields in vain? Because they all went to make steel!

But Tang Lei was helpless about this. The trend of the big era is not something he could personally change.

Tang Lei thought he was a bystander of an era, but after seeing these with his own eyes, he felt very uncomfortable! Who told him to know the result of this incident?

After a while of rest, Tang Lei continued to set off. His final destination was not Dongxian County, but Lixiang Commune, the closest place to the growth of Huanghuali in Hainan.

...

An hour later, Tang Lei drove a jeep and after inquiry, he finally arrived at the gate of Licun Commune.

When I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties walking towards the jeep, Tang Lei tidied up his clothes in the car before getting off the jeep, stood by the jeep, waiting for the middle-aged man to come.

"Comrade, where did you come from?" The middle-aged man glanced at the jeep beside Tang Lei, looked at Tang Lei with a smile and stretched out his hand, and asked in a pear speech.

"Hello comrade! My name is Tang Lei, and I am the officer of the Hainan Administrative Office and the Metallurgical Steel Logistics Department!"

"This is my work permit. I want to meet the president of your Lixiang Commune!" Tang Lei smiled and introduced himself in Mandarin, and handed the work permit to the middle-aged man.

"Our president is in a steel mill now. You can go to our president's office for a cup of tea. I will send someone to call our president back to you right now!" The middle-aged man looked at Tang Lei and said with a smile in unfamiliar Mandarin.

Tang Lei nodded with a smile, followed the middle-aged man into the office of the president of Lixiang Commune and sat down.

After the middle-aged man poured a cup of tea for Tang Lei, he directed a young man to go out and ask the president to come back.

"Sir Tang, I am a member of the commune. Did you come down with the instructions of steelmaking?" The middle-aged man looked at Tang Lei and asked in unfamiliar Mandarin.

Tang Lei looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when your president comes back."

"By the way, what's your president's name?"

"Our president's surname is Gong! His name is Gong Xizai." The middle-aged man looked at Tang Lei and replied with a smile.

"Comrade, how much has your Lixiang Commune completed this month's steelmaking indicators?" Tang Lei asked with a smile at the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man heard Tang Lei’s question, his face suddenly tightened, and he looked at Tang Lei and said softly: “It’s better to wait for our president to come back and he will report to you in person.”

Tang Lei nodded with a faint expression. It seemed that the steelmaking indicators of Lixiang Commune had not been completed yet.

Then Tang Lei sat upright on the chair and ignored the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man also left the president's office tactfully, leaving Tang Lei alone in the office.

...

Ten minutes later.

A man in his forties and fifties hurried to the office, and the middle-aged man who had just received Tang Lei was talking about something in Li language.

"Hello, Secretary Tang, I am Gong Xizai, the president of Lixiang Commune. On behalf of all members of Lixiang Commune, I welcome Secretary Tang to our Lixiang Commune to guide the work!" Gong Xizai walked to Tang Lei with a smile, held Tang Lei's hand, and said politely in unfamiliar Mandarin.

Tang Lei smiled and held Gong Xizai's hand while introducing his identity with a smile.

The middle-aged man next to him poured hot water into Gong Xizai and Tang Lei's tea cups, then closed the door and walked out of the president's office.

"President Gong, I dare not take the guidance work. I came here with the emergency tasks assigned by the Steel and Steel Logistics Department of the Office." Tang Lei saw the middle-aged man closing the office door and said seriously as he looked at Gong Xizai.

"If Officer Tang asks to issue a task, our Lixiang Commune will complete the tasks assigned by our superiors without fail." Gong Xizai immediately said with a smile.

Tang Lei nodded and looked at Gong Xizai and said, "President Gong, this is the matter! The Prefectural Committee of the Public Administration urgently needs a batch of good wood to serve as steelmaking fuel."

"The leaders of the Prefectural Committee heard that there is a tree called Huanghuali growing in the Yilixiang Commune. After this tree burns, it has strong firepower and lasts for a long time!"

"So the Prefectural Committee assigned me to come to your commune to purchase this kind of wood!" Tang Lei said with a smile.

"Official Secretary Tang, how many kilograms of huanghuali wood do the office need?" Gong Xizai asked with a smile at Tang Lei.

"The leader did not ask for the number, but the more the better!" Tang Lei replied with a smile.

"Secretary Tang, this is true. This kind of Huanghuali has always been a wood for steel smelting in our Licun Commune. It is indeed burning strongly and it takes a long time!"

"But our Lixiang Commune also needs this kind of timber. If the office needs us to provide a large amount of this kind of huanghuali tree, it will be difficult for our Lixiang Commune to look at Tang Lei and smiled awkwardly.

...Tang Lei, who was driving a jeep, finally arrived at the boundary of Dong County after more than three hours of travel.

After Tang Lei parked the jeep on the side of the road, Tang Lei jumped off the jeep

Looking at the ripe crops on both sides of the road, no one was harvesting. Tang Lei

A few years later, a nationwide famine

This is even more true when you arrive at Dongxian County. On the empty streets, only a few old men are wandering around the streets.

"Don't worry, Director Tang! I will organize members to go up the mountain to cut down early tomorrow morning." Gong Xizai asked with a smile.

"That's great! The thicker the wood, the better, and cut it into 10-meter-long wood." Tang Lei was happy in his heart and immediately looked at Gong Xizai and said.

"Don't worry, I guarantee to follow your requirements!" Gong Xizai looked at Tang Lei and said with a smile.
