Chapter 415: Scarce Raw Materials

The entire Jiaodaokou Street has a large population, so Director Zhang did not notice He Yuzhu sitting in the back after he came back from get off work.
There was no need for him to come up and do ideological work for the neighbors.

Seeing that the people were not cooperating, Director Zhang did not dare to act recklessly.
It would be fine if it was just one or two people, but the residents of the entire Jiaodaokou Street refused to cooperate, so she didn't dare to use force and could only find a solution herself.

Soon, Xu Damao started showing movies to everyone.
The play was "The Secret Watch of Guangzhou".

Seeing that it was a movie he had watched before, He Yuzhu stood up and left. He went to the small blast furnace and found the two guards standing guard.
"Okay, you two go watch a movie, I'll stand guard for you for a while."

Hearing that He Yuzhu, the big leader, asked them to go to the movies while he was standing guard here, the two comrades who understood said a little embarrassedly,

"Captain He, this is not good. We are going to watch a movie, and it is inappropriate for you to stand guard."

"Bullshit, if I tell you to go, just go now.

Oh, and leave the gun to me."

Seeing He Yuzhu's tough attitude, the two comrades handed him the gun.

"Then let's go, Captain He."

"Go!"

He Yuzhu stood beside the small blast furnace with a gun on his back for a while, and Liu Haizhong also strolled over from where the movie was being shown.
Seeing that the person standing guard was He Yuzhu, he asked in surprise,

"Zhu Zi, why are you standing guard here if you're not going to the movies? Oh, where are those two comrades from your militia?"

Seeing Liu Haizhong strolling over, He Yuzhu didn't think much about it and said casually,
"I've watched the movie 'The Secret Post of Guangzhou' that Xu Damao showed many times. It's not interesting, so I just came to watch it and asked two comrades to go watch the movie.
By the way, Uncle Er, why are you here instead of watching a movie over there? "

"It's nothing.
I just came to see if the blast furnace fire was out.

By the way, Zhuzi, speaking of this, how do you think the fuel problem should be solved? How much coal do you have in your militia?"

When He Yuzhu heard Liu Haizhong ask this question and thought about the fact that he asked everyone to dismantle the kang some time ago, he knew that this old guy was probably trying to please the people in the street office, and perhaps also wanted to see if he could get a government job.

He Yuzhu had nothing to say about this.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It is normal to have such thoughts, especially when a cadre like He Yuzhu emerged in Siheyuan.
Liu Haizhong is probably more anxious than in the TV series.

Even if it came to the point where cutting down trees and splitting tables, chairs, benches and other furniture was inevitable, He Yuzhu didn't want to help Liu Haizhong.

Naturally, I would not answer his question directly.
"We have enough coal in the militia to last for a day or two. I haven't considered this yet.

If you ask me now, I can’t tell you!”

When Liu Haizhong heard He Yuzhu say that the militia had enough coal to burn for a day or two, he knew that he was not the one in urgent need. He Yuzhu might not have really considered this issue.

"Okay, it's fine if you haven't thought about it, but Zhuzi, you have an active mind, so can you help the second uncle think about it now?"

As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking and before He Yuzhu could answer, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hey, Captain He, Master Liu, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu turned around and saw Secretary Ma and several other leaders of the steel mill walking towards him from the entrance of the alley, accompanied by technicians.
So he smiled and greeted them, "Hey, Secretary Ma and Director Wang are here, what are you doing?"

"Hey, most of our steel mill workers live in Dongcheng District, so we decided to come over and visit and express our condolences to our comrades.
But as soon as I arrived, I saw you, Captain He, standing guard here.

By the way, Master Liu, why are you here if you don't want to go to the movies? "

As a not insignificant figure in the steel mill, Liu Haizhong was very excited when he heard the head of the factory asked him about it.
I thought I must seize this opportunity to perform well.
So he excitedly talked about what he had just discussed with He Yuzhu.

Secretary Ma and his colleagues were delighted to see that Liu Haizhong was so proactive and was concerned about the leaders' concerns and concerns.
For comrades like this who are willing to do things, they naturally have to give a chance.

"Oh, Master Liu, do you have any good ideas? If so, please tell us."

The problem of lack of fuel had just been exposed. Liu Haizhong was not a quick-witted and reckless man, so he naturally couldn't come up with any solution at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask He Yuzhu.

After hearing Secretary Ma's question, he could only smile flatteringly and said to the leaders,

"No, I just can't think of a solution. I was just talking to Zhuzi about it and asked him if he had any solution.
They have so many militiamen, they are sure to have more solutions than I can alone.

Zhuzi said that his troops were not short of coal at the moment and were not in a hurry, so he did not think about it.

Secretary Ma had not expected a senior technical worker to be able to come up with a solution to the problem, so when Liu Haizhong said he didn't know what to do, he was not disappointed.

Instead, he smiled and comforted her.
"It's okay, Master Liu. It doesn't matter if you can think of it or not. There are so many leaders above us anyway. The problem will be solved.
Just do your job well and don't feel any psychological burden."

"Yes, yes, the leader is right. I am just worrying about nothing."

Secretary Ma and the others chatted with Liu Haizhong for a few words, then turned to look at He Yuzhu and said,
"Captain He, we still have to go somewhere else to take a look, so I won't say any more to you."

"Okay, I'll still be on guard here, you guys go about your business, don't worry about me."

Seeing Secretary Ma and the others leave, Liu Haizhong looked at He Yuzhu, and then followed them with a servile look on his face.
"Secretary, Director, I know Jiaodaokou very well. I know where the small blast furnaces are.

Let me lead the way for you leaders. "

In the following days,
Although trainloads of coal were shipped from the mines to various parts of Daxia,

But compared to the steel-making campaign in which everyone, from leaders to children in kindergartens and nurseries, participated, this amount of fuel was really a drop in the bucket.
It's not just coal, even iron ore is starting to be in short supply.

That afternoon, as He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, he saw Yi Zhonghai and three others organizing a meeting for all the neighbors in the courtyard.

"Zhu Zi, you're back just in time, come to the meeting right away."

Looking at the situation in the front yard, He Yuzhu didn't say anything more and pushed the bicycle to the eaves of the east wing and parked it.

"Uncle, what is the purpose of today's meeting?"

"Well, it's because we don't have enough coal and ore. The subdistrict office passed on the order from our superiors and asked us, the managers, to mobilize everyone to donate scrap copper, iron and wood."
