Chapter 115 Government Affairs Team
If the anti-Japanese armed forces have armor-breaking weapons such as steel fists and attacking weapons, threats to railways and strongholds will restrain more Japanese troops, especially the surrounding areas of the Third Column, which will support and help the attacks and retreats of the Third Column in the future, creating more favorable conditions for the Third Column's operations.
For example, after joining with this team, He Dameng's first attack target was probably the abominable, hateful and unusable railway dual-purpose armored vehicles. Because they had steel fists, grenade launchers, landmines, and booklets such as "Mine Warning Essays" and "Guide to the Battle of the Strike".
Of course, ammunition is limited, so Yang Tianfeng has to pay attention to it after use. But next time, it will not be given away for free, and you have to exchange things for it or spend money to buy it.
Yang Tianfeng refused all the people, including gold, silver, fine gold, grain, salt, cloth, silk, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, guns, ammunition, tires, gasoline, even broken copper and iron, damaged guns, captured Japanese non-combatants, etc., and wanted everything.
With excitement and excitement, and the urgency to fight the Japanese, He Dameng and others drove a mule cart to meet with the troops who were receiving them, and disappeared in the distance while the night was falling.
…………………
As night fell, the house of Wu Yuansheng, the mayor of Huangkou Town, was receiving several guests.
"The Yang family boy is just shopping for war, so he just let go of the matter of people's livelihood?" Mr. Du drank tea and was a little dissatisfied. "If he doesn't do the matter of people's livelihood, what will his troops eat and wear?"
"Sir Yang is not careless, he is just limited in energy and busy with affairs!" Wu Yuansheng laughed with him, and he was also laughing in his heart. He had been designated as the second district commissioner of the Suzhou Commissioner's Office, so he was naturally happy to be promoted.
"In the war years, military first. Chief Yang fought east and west, and it was indeed difficult to split up. It was reasonable to focus on his energy." Zong Hui was looking at the idea of the structure of the Commissioner Office left by Yang Tianfeng, and knew that Yang Tianfeng would do his best to take the power, or real power, into his own hands. He was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden promotion from a county magistrate and secretary, and was also very grateful to Yang Tianfeng.
Mr. Du said he was indifferent to fame and fortune, but who didn’t like to be an official? Moreover, the position Yang Tianfeng was going to arrange this time was Mr. Du’s director, and it was also his wish to benefit his hometown.
The Suzhou Special Zone is large, but a considerable part of it is a yellow zone. Yang Tianfeng meant to establish a comprehensive management committee for the Pan area, and try to manage the Woyang, Haoxian, Mengcheng and other places in the Yellow Zone under the jurisdiction of the District to reduce the financial and grain burden of the entire district. In the future, he hoped that the Yellow Zone would not only be self-sufficient, but also strive to pay taxes and provide logistical support for the War of Resistance.
"Spring is about to start, and I don't know if the soil and fertilizer methods mentioned by the boy from the Yang family are working?" Mr. Du no longer worried about Yang Tianfeng's busyness, but instead worried about the spring plowing this year. "Especially in the yellow-flooded areas, if they can have more than 30% of the harvest in previous years, it will be barely enough for the people to make a living."
The yellow water overflows, the sediment is deposited, and the fertility of the land is greatly reduced. If you continue to farm, you can only have about 10% of the harvest. What should you do if you don’t have enough food? You have to adjust it from other places, which invisibly increases the logistical pressure.
Although spring plowing that Yang Tianfeng has produced, including soil and fertilizer, will be implemented for the first time this year, he is confident about the effect.
At that time, agricultural farming was relatively primitive and backward, and the yield per mu of crops was nearly ten times lower than that of later generations. Taking wheat as an example, the yield per mu was only more than 100 kilograms, which was too low. Because of the low base, the effect of the new measures would be immediate. The enthusiasm of farmers to accept would suddenly rise. There would be no resistance to widespread promotion next year.
"It's still certain that 30% is certain." Wu Yuansheng took the documents and said, "The knowledge of Chief Yang is nothing. He has all kinds of talented people around him. Mr. Du, please see, these are all policies and measures that will affect people's livelihood in the future. There are many things, and the work is both heavy and trivial, so we must not relax!"
Mr. Du took the document, and Du Meiying hurriedly took out the reading glasses for her father, then stood beside her and looked down at her.
After a while, Mr. Du put down the document, sighed and said, "Okay, very good. Unfortunately, I'm old, I'm afraid--"
"Sir Yang has arranged several young people as assistants for you. The old man doesn't have to experience it personally, just give me some advice." Wu Yuansheng said: "There is also Miss Du, and Chief Yang can be said to be a talented woman, and you can also share the work with the old man."
"Boy Yang Family——" Mr. Du raised his eyebrows, but his words were interrupted by Du Meiying.
"He is already a general, Dad, don't always call him that." Du Meiying said, "General Yang made a good arrangement, but I don't know if that specialist is easy to talk to!"
"Don't worry about this." Wu Yuansheng smiled slightly, "The gun is held in Chief Yang's hand. If he is a sensible person, he will not interfere."
"Soldiers interfere in politics--" Mr. Du frowned, and as soon as he said that, Du Meiying had already pulled her lightly, and rolled her eyes helplessly.
…………
Nepotism; use slaves, not talents. This usually becomes the main disadvantage of people criticizing those in power, but when you go from accuser to an implementer, you will find that you cannot completely abandon them and will unconsciously fall into the same criticism.
Yang Tianfeng also fell into this kind of vicious circle to some extent, but in order to enable the policies and measures he formulated to be implemented and accumulate strengths of both soft and hard as soon as possible, he has no other way. Moreover, he also has principles and bottom lines. The person he uses may not be the best talent, but he is by no means mediocre or useless talent.
The two evils are the least. Yang Tianfeng, who is accustomed to taking the middle route, has no worries about this, and the people who promote and recommend basically cannot find any problems.
Mr. Du has experience in water conservancy and is considering his hometown. He is older, but his wealth is innocent, which is considered to be highly respected; Zong Hui is young but very mature, with political experience and Zong Lao, and he is a reliable person; Wu Yuancheng is flexible in mind and smooth in people, and he is not a mediocre person, but most importantly, he is absolutely obedient...
As for the county magistrates of each county, Yang Tianfeng regarded it as the county magistrates in the core area. Yao Zongfa and Lu Wenping were able to do things in a solid manner, and Yang Tianfeng would not move; the others were the matter of sharing the weight between the parties. As long as there was no bad record and no evil, Yang Tianfeng was not prepared to fight too much.
