After a few months of not getting close to the woman, Mu Yaping's courage showed great satisfaction in late autumn. A few days later, Mu Weiping and Magnolia and her younger sister Lanxiang were going to go back to Taiyuan, Shanxi. At this moment, Magnolia found that she had a pregnancy reaction and she was pregnant. Mrs. Mu heard that she would not let her go no matter what, and she had to stay at home to give birth to the child. Mu Weiping had no choice but to go back to Shanxi with Lanxiang, while Magnolia stayed in Peach Blossom Farm.

Mu Yaping decided to live in Taohua Mansion for a while, first, to spend more time with the late autumn, and second, to refine the strategic layout of Taohua Farm and Shenmu Industrial Zone. He knew that no one could reach his level for how to develop rapidly and scientifically. Li Yunlong was sent away by him first, and he wanted to rush back to Taiyuan, Shanxi to start selecting team members to form a special force.

"My nephew, the farm has changed a lot in a year. You see, the hillside is full of peach trees. There were wild peach trees there. Now after replanting, the whole mountain is full of peach blossoms, and the fragrance of flowers all over the mountains is intoxicating. Along the bank of the Yellow River, we have initially reclaimed 5,000 acres of rice fields, and all of them have been planted this year. The people who have moved one after another have now reached 300 households and more than 1,000 people."

Mu Yaping nodded, and Liu Duan continued to talk: "Nephew, according to the plan you have formulated, we will increase the population year by year, and strive to reach 100,000 in three years. By then, our comprehensive business scale will be expanded dozens of times, and the logistics supply of the entire Shenmu Industrial Zone will be entirely borne by us, and we will truly become a comprehensive agricultural experimental base." When talking about the beautiful future of the farm, Liu Duan seemed to be full of confidence.

Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Uncle Liu! The Peach Blossom Farm should not only expand rapidly, but also become a model for the entire northwest. I want to let multiple businesses blossom and bear fruit in the northwest land, so that more people can adopt our model. But the premise is that they must see the benefits." Mu Yaping had planned on the way here, and he had to plan the development direction of the Peach Blossom Farm, and gradually change people's traditional concepts with the point, and he believed that this subtle effect would definitely play a huge role.

The difference between Taohua Farm and the farm he planned is that the former is a purely privatized individual business method, while the latter is a collective and semi-military farm with its main purpose of producing grain. The former can be imitated by those who own land, while the latter is not dared to get involved. Mu Yaping's purpose is to enable small households to quickly embark on the path of agricultural diversification.

Liu Bibin said again: "After working in the autumn and winter last year, we built a small reservoir in the north of the ditch, which attracted Qinghe water. You see, the canal over there is a purpose of attracting reservoir water and irrigating rice fields. Dazhuo said that after the Shenmu Power Plant is put into production, we will build a pump station to pump the Yellow River water and reclaim more farmland."

The two of them talked and chatted, and were silent in pleasure. Based on their so-called "experience", Mu Yaping took the opportunity to instill advanced ideas and management experience in Liu Bi, and he tirelessly explained the benefits of such management. Then they walked to a cowhouse and saw dozens of black and white cows eating grass leisurely, and several women were milking the cows.

Seeing this, Mu Yaping stopped and was interested in watching. Liu Duan came to his spirits and introduced: "Nephew, these dozens of cows are so precious. It is said that they were transported from the United States. It is really not easy to cross the ocean. Maybe it is because of the unacceptable environment. Several adult cows have only started to milk in recent days. I told people to take care of them day and night."

At this time, a black car drove like lightning. When the door opened, Liu Dazhuo came out of it. "Brother, I'm here to pick you up, let's go!" Liu Dazhuo said hurriedly. Liu Duo said dissatisfied: "I'm taking my nephew to visit there, why are you here to make trouble?" Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, don't be angry, I asked Dazhuo brothers to come. Anyway, I'm going to delay a month in the farm. We both have time to discuss. At present, Shenmu Steel Factory is in a tight construction stage, so I'll go for a tour."

About two hours later, the car drove to the construction site of the steel plant. At this time, the foundation of No. 1 blast furnace was pouring reinforced concrete. In order to prepare for the construction of the steel plant, a cement factory was built in Shenmu area in advance to meet the growing needs. In an open space on the north, imported equipment was lying down together and waiting for the sedan chair. Soon, a good time was chosen to wait for the sedan chair.

The labor scene is booming, and the workers are full of energy and full of energy. There is a reason why Mu Yaping chose the steel plant in Shenmu. There is an extraordinary coal mountain in the Shenmu area. This coal mountain does not require digging into tunnels or drilling wells. It is only a few dozen meters thick covered soil layer, and its coal formation pattern is unique in the world.

Not only that, this coal mountain is the best coal, with light coal quality and large heat generation. The heat efficiency per kilogram is more than 800 calories, especially after combustion, it turns into a smear of white ash and almost does not even have slag. The coke burned with it will definitely play a role in making excellent steel under existing technical conditions.

They came to a mining surface in front of the coal mountain. Mu Yaping grabbed a dark and shiny piece of coal and looked carefully. Liu Dazhuo said proudly: "Brother, this coal mountain was given to us by God. Such excellent and high-quality coal is negligible. A foreign engineer said: This is God's masterpiece. Brother, how did you know that there is a coal mountain here?"

Mu Yaping was stunned and said, "This... the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, you will know in the future." In fact, Mu Yaping is really difficult to answer this question. The coal mountain in later generations was blasted as a whole. According to local people, the earth was shaking during the blasting, and a huge explosion could be heard dozens of miles away. At that time, the media exaggerated it because this lucrative coal mountain has a great value.

Time flies very quickly, and it is getting late after a walk. Liu Dazhuo accompanied Mu Yaping to enjoy dinner. During the meal, Liu Dazhuo said: "Brother, you have to delay here for more than a month. It's just a matter of using this time to guide the construction of the steel plant. You have many ideas that are beyond reality. We have many problems and we don't know. I hope you will give our engineering and technical personnel and management personnel a short-term training to let them master more advanced ideas."

Mu Yaping smiled and said, "I will arrange a few more classes. The key to industrial large-scale production is how to scientifically coordinate and manage it. What is the change in concept? How is it? Can the first phase of the project be put into production next year?" Liu Dazhuo said, "If there is no interference from other factors, the two blast furnaces with an annual output of 50,000 tons will be completed as scheduled next year. As of the year after, after the other two blast furnaces with an annual output of 50,000 tons will be put into production, we will form a military steel production capacity of 200,000 tons per year."

Mu Yaping nodded as if he remembered something and said, "How is the situation of the supporting 105mm heavy artillery factory?" Liu Dazhuo said, "The factory is under construction, and the machinery and equipment purchased from the United States are being transported. It is estimated that it will be shipped to you by the end of the year." Mu Yaping said, "This time I will bring you a new task. I am planning to build another anti-aircraft machine gun manufacturer, the main purpose is to defend against air."

Mu Yaping took a sip of wine and said, "In the future, many of our important facilities will need to defend against air. I have arranged for Shanxi University Military Research Institute to develop anti-aircraft machine guns. I will personally lead this project. The caliber of this weapon is set to 12.6 mm, and the effective killing distance is 2,000 meters. We strive to have production capacity in the next year, so I would like to ask you for the construction of the factory."

Before Liu Dazhuo could speak, a sudden sound of horse hooves sounded outside. After a while, a captain officer hurriedly walked in: "Report to Deputy Commander Mu, Brigade Commander Feng asked for instructions, a Red Army guerrilla team was attacking Mizhi County. A security regiment of Shaanxi Army was stationed in Mizhi County. They could not resist requesting emergency reinforcements. Brigade Commander Feng did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so he sent me to report to Deputy Commander Mu to make a decision." After the officer reported in one breath, an anxious look appeared on his face.

Mu Yaping was stunned and immediately ordered to take out the map of Yulin area to view it. Mu Yaping looked at the map and thought to himself: "What should come will come sooner or later. Due to the butterfly effect and his intentionality, the Red Army guerrillas led by Liu Zhidan and Xie Zichang have grown rapidly over the past year. They not only gained a foothold in the Yan'an area, but also their bases have expanded rapidly.

Mu Yaping deployed an infantry brigade in Yulin area, mainly responsible for the defense of the area north of Yulin. Assuming that Shenmu Industrial Zone was not planned to be built, he could completely give up this area to the Red Army guerrillas, but it is not possible now. If guerrillas are allowed to enter the northern area, Shenmu Industrial Zone will be destroyed and the entire strategic layout will be severely hit. It seems that he must go to Yulin and personally negotiate with them, strive to draw a land into a prison and live in peace.

Early the next morning, Mu Yaping and others arrived in Yulin. Brigade Commander Feng led the officers to greet him personally: "Report to Deputy Commander Mu, National Revolutionary Army, Second Army, and Fourth Independent Infantry Brigade Commander Feng Cheng was waiting here, please give me advice!" The officers who were with him raised their hands to salute. The brigade Commander Feng Cheng is a graduate of the Mudanfeng Military Academy and one of the 50 children in the early martial arts school. Therefore, he was not very reserved when he saw Mu Yaping. At present, Mu Yaping has formed four independent infantry brigades in Shanxi.

Mu Ya said straight to the point: "Braft Commander Feng, how is Mizhi?" Brigade Commander Feng replied: "Last evening, the Red Army guerrillas gathered 2,000 troops to launch an attack on Mizhi County. As of today's morning, Mizhi County was captured, and more than 1,000 local Shaanxi Army security regiment were eliminated. I am worried that they will launch an attack on Yulin."

Mu Yaping said: "Now our purpose is to prevent them from entering the area north of Yulin. War is the worst strategy, so I must personally negotiate with the other party." Feng Chengwen said anxiously: "Deputy Commander Mu must not, this is too dangerous. Besides, it is easy for us to eat them, so why do we do this?"

Mu Yaping said dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense! How did I teach you before? You must never fight with each other in the same family. Remember that our biggest enemy is the Japanese, and you must never fight each other unless you have to. Take a step back and say that we are enemies with the Communist Party and will never have peace. Staying with the Communist Party peacefully is the foundation for us to gain a foothold. If you are dissuading me, don't say anything, I will leave immediately to Mizhi."

Feng Cheng asked to lead a guard force to go, but Mu Yaping denied it and only led two guards and set off.
