The last stop of Qin Zheng's inspection was Jinzhou, because Jinzhou was not on the line of the Middle Eastern Railway, so it could only be used as the last stop.

Jinzhou is the gateway to the Northeast, its own strategic position is very important, and now East China is the southernmost frontier in the Northeast region, in fact, the forward position of the People's Army has been pushed to Suizhong, only less than 60 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan, the Jinshen Railway that is under construction is starting from Suizhong County, which is also to prepare for the future railway connection to the Guannei, and at the same time after the war against the Qing court in East China, it is also convenient for the Northeast Military Region to transport troops to the Guannei.

In addition, Jinzhou also went deep into the territory of Mongolia Chifeng, is East China's largest deep rear in Mongolia, so for East China, Jinzhou's strategic position is quite important, after the establishment of the Northeast Military Region, Jinzhou was stationed in a division of troops.

Moreover, Gao Jin, who is now the mayor of Jinzhou, is also a young cadre who is focused on training in East China, so he is also valued by Qin Zheng.

After Qin Zheng arrived in Jinzhou, he first listened to Gao Jin's report on his work, in fact, the situation in Jinzhou is reported every day, so the general situation, Qin Zheng is clear, listening to Gao Jin's report, mainly to understand the business situation in the Mongolian region occupied by East China.

It should be said that Gao Jin does have considerable local governance ability, although he has only been the mayor for 5 or 6 months, of which the first two months were still wartime, but he is still doing a good job in the Jinzhou area, and now the society in the entire Jinzhou area is stable, the business is prosperous and developed, plus the construction of several industrial projects, showing a thriving scene.

Of course, before Gao Jin took office, the Jinzhou area had restored order and social production, and it was in a major transportation road, and the foundation was quite good, but within a few months, Jinzhou had a new look, which was also inseparable from Gao Jin's administration.

Jinzhou is located in the West Liaoning Corridor of the demolition and flushing of the key points, connecting the customs inside and outside the customs, has always been prosperous, after Gao Jin took office, he focused on simplifying business procedures, improving the level of service, and creating convenient conditions for commercial circulation. Of course, Gao Jin also knows that the potential of the circulation economy on the land is not large, because now East China and the Qing court are in a hostile relationship, although they have not yet cut off the economic exchanges inside and outside the Guan, but it is basically impossible to expand further.

However, the geographical advantage of Jinzhou is not only the land demolition and flushing road, but also the convenience of shipping, although it is only an inner bay port, but also has a great future for development, and in the early stage of the Far East War, East China ** Huludao port was built, and now it can berth 5000-ton cargo ships, and built a road from Huludao port to Jinzhou area.

As a result, Gao Jin also made full use of the Huludao port to vigorously develop maritime trade, successively opening up Jinzhou-Tianjin, Jinzhou-Yantai, Jinzhou-Lushun and other maritime trade routes, and streamlining the inspection and approval procedures of the port, so that Jinzhou's maritime trade rose rapidly.

At the same time, the construction of the Jinshen Railway, as well as the construction of power plants, cement plants and other projects in Jinzhou, also stimulated the demand of a considerable part of the localities, and Gao Jin actively organized various villages, townships, and towns to supply grain, cloth, some building materials, and daily necessities to these projects, which could not only meet the needs of various projects, but also increase the income of the people in villages and towns, and further stimulate the development of the consumer economy.

Finally, there is another point, that is, after the People's Army captured Chifeng, Jinzhou purchased cattle, sheep, livestock, fur and other products in the Mongolian grassland, and transported them from Huludao port to Tianjin, Yantai, Lushun and other places, which not only increased Jinzhou's financial revenue, but also increased the income of grassland herdsmen, and increased their identification and sense of belonging to East China.

And these measures, indeed greatly stimulated the economic development of Jinzhou, but also increased the income of the local people, but also increased the first tax, although the positive effect of these measures has just begun, some are not yet obvious, but it can be foreseen in this year, even in the next few years ago, Jinzhou's local economy, industrialization level will show a significant rise period. This also made people who had doubts about Gao Jin's ability at the beginning, since he was a leftover official of the Qing court in the former Jinzhou region, and he had to admire that this woman was really not simple, no wonder she was able to take on the important role of a prefect.

The Jinzhou area has always been dominated by commerce, the proportion of agriculture is relatively small, and the work of land reform is not much, and it is not too difficult. And the real difficulty is how to deal with the herdsmen of the steppe, because the herdsmen live by grazing and have no land, but they still have a strong dependence on the Mongolian nobles, so the method adopted by East China is to directly suppress the Mongolian nobles with a bad reputation and commit larger crimes, and distribute their pastures, houses, property, livestock, etc. equally to the herdsmen under their rule. The way of purchase is recovered, and it is also dispersed to the herdsmen, and then the activists selected from the herdsmen are formed into a grass-roots administrative organization of the herdsmen with the production team as the unit, and they try their best to distribute the pastures evenly to the herdsmen.

At the same time, Jinzhou City also organized businessmen to purchase cattle, sheep, livestock, fur, bone products, etc. from herdsmen, and transported grain, salt, tea, cloth, cotton, ironware, utensils and other daily necessities needed by herdsmen to the grassland to trade with herdsmen. Whether it is the purchase price or the sale price, it is very fair, and because of the lack of the Mongolian aristocracy, the income of the herdsmen has increased significantly, and they have their own cattle and sheep property, and the social status has also improved, basically no longer oppressed, so they are also full of gratitude to East China, and the sense of belonging has also strengthened a lot. At the same time, it has also accumulated a lot of experience for East China to deal with the Mongolian issue in the past.

After listening to Gao Jin's report, Qin Zheng was also very satisfied, and said: "Xiao Gao, you have to work hard in the past few days, summarize the successes and failures of your work in Mongolia, write a report, and send it back to Qingdao. ”

Gao Jin said: "Political commissar, now the work in Mongolia has just begun, and we are still exploring a lot of work, even if we have done it, but it takes time to test the quality of these practices, and this is beginning to summarize, it is still a little too early, I think it will take at least a year to roughly test the success or failure of our work in Mongolia, and then summarize." I am almost finished with the phased work report, if you want to discuss it, you can discuss the phased work report first. ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Gao, you can think like this, it means that your mind is still sober, and you are not satisfied with the results you have achieved now, which is very good!"

Gao Jin said: "Now we have only occupied much of China, I'm afraid we don't even have 1/3, what is there to be satisfied with." ”

Qin Zheng said: "Okay, but since I'm here, I always have to go to the county below to have a look, you said it's best to go to that county." ”

Gao Jin said with a smile: "I don't dare to say, you can choose that county by yourself, the 6 counties under the rule of Jinzhou City, you can choose that county, lest you say that I am cheating and hiding the bad places, so that you can only see the bright side." ”

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "You girl, fight this sloppy eye with me." ”

Gao Jin said: "That's it, is there still less in the old time and space? Since our group of people came to this era and can start a new business, the essence of the old time and space is of course to be learned, but this set of things that can only be regarded as bad is better to throw away." I don't like to do that anyway. ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I'll choose one." Saying that, he looked at the map and said, "Just choose Chaoyang, this time I don't have time to go to Chifeng, so I will meet Ouyang Longxing in Chaoyang, lest he come to Jinzhou again." ”

Gao Jin said: "Okay, but Chaoyang is not close, there is no railway, the journey will take a day, and you can only set off early tomorrow morning, but you can rest assured, I promise not to greet Chaoyang County in advance, and I will let you see the normal state of Chaoyang County." ”

Qin Zheng thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Tomorrow I want to go to see the engineering situation of the Jinshen Railway, after all, it is a project of the Second Five-Year Plan, by the way, Zhan Tianyou is still here now, I haven't seen him for almost 3 years." ”

Gao Jin said: "Yes, he is here to preside over the Jinshen Railway project, he has been here for almost 1 month, but except for the first day is to live in the guest house we arranged for him in Jinzhou, and then he has been living at the construction site, I went to the construction site to see him several times, persuaded him to go back to Jinzhou City to live, he did not listen, can only try to arrange for him to live better at the construction site, what a practical person." No wonder his deeds were included in our primary school textbooks in the old plane. If you want to see him, you can only go to the construction site. ”

Qin Zheng said: "Yes, he is such a person, when he was building the Shandong Railway in Shandong, it was the same way, I met him at the construction site every time." It's a pity that in this era, there are actually too few people like Zhan Tianyou who can do practical things, and the stage provided by old China for Zhan Tianyou is indeed too small, in fact, with Zhan Tianyou's talent, if it is in an industrially developed country, he can achieve greater achievements. ”

Gao Jin said: "But now we can provide him with a big stage so that he can play to the fullest, can't we." ”

Qin Zheng nodded again and said, "Yes, you should go to the construction site to see him, and then see how your five small industrial projects are doing in several places in Jinzhou." ”

Gao Jin said: "That's good! These two projects are being carried out step by step, and now the cement plant has been partially put into operation, starting from next month, you can provide Jinzhou-made cement for the Jinshen Railway Project, and the first power furnace of the power plant will also start to ignite next month, and in a few days the city will start wiring, and Jinzhou will enter the era of electrical industry." ”
