PS. Come up with today's update and get some votes for "Qidian" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

As the commander of the column and also serves as a member of the border government, He Zhengdao's New Year undoubtedly seemed very busy. But when he saw Yulin City on a sunny day, He Zhengdao still felt busy and happy.

With about a week left before the Spring Festival, the material team, with Yao Shengjun as the commander, also began to set off from Yulin City to Yan'an. This batch of materials was all New Year's goods escorted to the headquarters by Yulin.

Although life in Yulin Border District is not rich now, He Zhengdao is also aware that life at the headquarters is probably even worse. In addition to escorting materials, Yao Shengjun also needs to report some work to the headquarters on behalf of the column.

There is work this year and some work arrangements for next year. In short, Yao Shengjun went to Yan'an this time and was afraid that he would not come back until after the Chinese New Year. But Yao Shengjun was undoubtedly very happy with such a task.

It is a good thing to show off more in front of the head of the headquarters!

When the transport team arrived in Yan'an, Zhou Enlai, who was also looking forward to this batch of supplies, and the leaders who managed the logistics, had already gathered in front of Yan'an City. Looking at the long mule and horse team, everyone seemed very happy.

Compared with the current situation in other military regions, self-sufficiency is a little difficult to sustain. However, Yulin also raised a batch of supplies for the headquarters during the Chinese New Year. This is undoubtedly very happy for the headquarters, which is also in urgent need of supplies.

‘Comrade Shengjun, we have been waiting for you to come after you received the telegram from you! Tell me, what did you send to the headquarters this time? I see that there are quite a lot of these big trucks and one big truck!’

Facing Zhou Enlai's inquiry, Yao Shengjun, who was silly and smirked, "Vice Chairman Zhou, this is a list of supplies. The road conditions from Yulin to Yan'an are really bad. We rushed over and finally arrived.

Among these supplies, there was a batch of grain, cotton coats and quilts, and a batch of weapons and ammunition handed over to the headquarters for storage. However, compared to the fewer weapons, we pulled a lot of ammunition this time.

There are some local specialties, and some New Year gifts for the leaders. It is still a small amount of money. What are the specific things, and I will report to the leaders after the supplies are delivered to the warehouse!"

When the group escorted the mule and horse team into the city, looking at the cart's supplies, many central leaders who had nothing to do also gathered at the material reserve warehouse. For them, this batch of things was related to whether they could have a good New Year!

Looking at the warehouses transported from Yulin, everyone knew that at least there was no need to worry about food shortage during the Chinese New Year. These cotton coats and quilts were enough for them to have a warm New Year.

But when handing over the weapons and ammunition, he looked at the one million bullets he brought this time. Mao Taizu also said unexpectedly: "So many bullets? Did you seize them or bought them? I haven't heard of them at the headquarters, you have military operations!"

'Report to Committee Member Mao, these bullets were reinstalled by our arsenal. Considering that our column will conduct large-scale training at the beginning of next year, this time, all this is brought in. It's just that some of the raw materials are not available at present.'

As soon as these words were spoken, Mao Taizu opened his eyes wide and said, "Recharged bullets? Your arsenal has such output now?"

‘Yes! If the raw materials can be supplied, it will be fine to reload 100,000 bullets every day. This time we come here, we also hope that the headquarters will tell the legions. As long as they pull the empty shells to Yulin, ten empty shells will be replaced with five bullets.’

In this case, Zhou Enlai also knew what this meant to the Red Army. Such efficient reinstallation of bullets can some extent allow the Red Army to no longer worry about the consumption of bullets!

Immediately said: "You really have such a production?"

‘Yes! After the beginning of spring, if Member Mao and Vice Chairman Zhou are interested, you can go to Yulin to take a look. At present, our arsenal is doing well in reloading bullets. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, the output cannot be increased.

As for rifles, because they lack machinery and equipment and barrels, there are not many rifles that can be manufactured every day. More of them are just some repairs to the gun. If other legions need them, they can also pull damaged weapons to us for repair.’

Mao Taizu opened a box of bullets to check and said seriously: "How high is the pass rate of this reloaded bullet?"

‘A few hundred! At least at present, the arsenal will conduct random inspections on the reloaded bullets produced every day. It is rare to encounter any situation where bullets cannot be fired. There are many times when one hundred bullets are drawn for inspection, but none of them is not qualified.’

This would undoubtedly make Mao Taizu and Zhou Enlai breathe a sigh of relief. With such a reassembly pass rate, at least when the troops were training and fighting, the bullets were guaranteed.

When the weapons and grain were counted and put into storage, looking at the boxes with locks hanging on them. Yao Shengjun opened the lock and said, "This is the 50,000 ocean I escorted back this time, and it is also the money we can squeeze out at present."

‘Fifty thousand, not bad! Compared to other military sub-districts, you are the only ones who give money to the headquarters. With this 50,000 yuan, I, the Minister of Finance, can live a little more comfortable this year.’

Hearing that the column pulled back 50,000 oceans, Mr. Lin, as the headquarter finance minister, seemed very pleased. In his opinion, this should be the first money he received from the local government to the central government after taking office!

Even if the poor and white central government has a poor and poor reserve, it is better to have a hard reserve. But Mr. Lin knows even more that the amount of money cannot be used easily. For a political party and an army, it is very dangerous to have no reserves at all.

As for what he can use now, it is undoubtedly these realms. But in general, the amount of assets he accumulated in the Central Red Army had almost been spent when he formed democratic governments in various places.

If there is no new financial source, the Minister of Finance will declare bankruptcy. And these 50,000 oceans will at least make the headquarters live a little looser this year. If there are any emergencies, they can also respond in time.

Yao Shengjun smiled and said, "Dear leaders, these are some New Year gifts prepared for you by our commander, political commissar, and all the officers and soldiers of the column. Things are not expensive, but they are more practical.

How to use it specifically? I will wait until the headquarters, and I will demonstrate it to everyone myself! With these things, at least this winter, you no longer have to worry about getting up in the middle of the night or early in the morning to burn the stove.”

When they heard this, the leaders who watched the fun seemed very happy. Although they didn't quite understand what honeycomb coal was, they all knew that the stove should be used for burning fires.

Until he arrived at the Yangjialing headquarters, Yao Shengjun personally demonstrated the use of the honeycomb coal stove. Many of the families of the army immediately said with joy: "Wow, this coal ball burns so easily? The fire looks very prosperous!"

‘Yes, this stove is easy to burn. Just find some things that cause fire to burn for a while, and put the briquettes on it and it will catch up quickly. If you change it, check it out and pick out the burned ones below.

If you don't use it for the time being, you can also seal the furnace, which will slow down. As long as there is a fire in the furnace while you are sleeping, you can continue to use it by changing into a new coal ball the next morning, and you don't even need to re-ignite the fire.

The stoves I brought to you this time can be used to boil water or cook rice. If this coal stove is burning strong, it will be higher than the firewood stove. So, this time we can't produce any valuable New Year's goods, so we will give some practical ones."

After listening to Yao Shengjun's introduction, several leaders who like to make tea immediately smiled and said, "This thing is good. If you want to drink hot water to make tea in the future, just put the kettle on the stove. It's really convenient! Who thought of this thing?"

‘The report leader is what our commander remembers. These things are currently produced by the disabled soldiers of the Military Reclamation Farm. The commander means to find some things for those disabled soldiers to do within their ability.

In addition, after the output increases, it can also be used for sale. This is also a problem for us to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Moreover, this thing is not expensive, and the price of ten coal balls is not as good as a load of firewood.

If sales increase, I believe that this income can not only support the expenses of disabled veterans, but also provide blood to the troops. I will report specific plans in writing to the central government later.’

In addition to giving these leaders a furnace, Yao Shengjun held a wool shawl and said, "Mrs. Chiefs, these are also a batch of wool shawls recently produced by our column's wool spinning factory. Because the output is not large, we can only prepare these.

As for these vests, they are given to all the leaders. With this vest, you can keep warm when working outdoors. The winter in northern Shaanxi is actually similar to that in Yulin.”

When the column even considered the wives of these chiefs, the leaders were naturally very happy. Even if they didn’t lack anything to keep warm now, this kind of wool shawl and vest would be really not cheap if they had to pay for money!

In short, the supplies and New Year's goods sent by the column made the heads of the headquarters very satisfied. In their opinion, if there were more columns like this, they would not have to live a tight life.

Looking at the smiling faces of these heads of the headquarters, Yao Shengjun, who came on behalf of the column, was also very happy. Isn’t it just to make the headquarters have a good New Year and leave a good impression on the column?

At present, these things are not too expensive for the column. However, their practicality still makes these leaders very satisfied. They also feel that it is also rare for the column to use their brains under the existing conditions.

Compared with other places, there are more questions about the headquarters' blood transfusions. The Yulin Border Area, which finally stabilized, undoubtedly did better in this regard. This invisibly also added a lot of points to the head of the column's party committee in front of the headquarters!
Chapter completed!
