Since the Liberation Army gained a firm foothold in Guangdong, the Guangzhou Commodity Fair has been held from April to May every year. Chinese and foreign businessmen sell their various goods at the fair. According to different commodity types, industrial products and agricultural products are divided into different blocks. And the smell is the best in the tea area.

There are about more than 10,000 square meters of tea in the tea area, and each different tea has its own aroma. or mellow, or elegant, the richness of the flower tea, and the bitterness of the tip of the hair, all make people feel comfortable. Naturally, all tea merchants will not be stingy, whether they buy tea or not, as long as they come to the storefront, they will offer the main products they sell.

In the first two years, the liberated areas failed to expand to the tea producing areas, and in 1863, with the exception of Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou, most of China's tea-producing areas became part of the liberated areas. A group of foreign merchants also knew that Hunan tea was excellent, but later it was greatly affected because of the war www.uuxs.cc. Now that they see Hunan tea again, they naturally go in to shop.

Dr. Tea always gives people a white and delicate feeling, and this urbane Chinese sells tea. Not only Chinese feel very suitable, but foreigners also feel very suitable. It's just that this year, there are several strong men in the Tea Doctor in the Hunan Pavilion. Seeing that there were many merchants gathered, Dr. Tea went to the storage place and carried out a thick pillar. It is about one meter and five long and twenty centimeters in diameter. The outside is only tied up with palm leaves and bamboo strips. This rugged style is complemented by the sturdy Dr. Tea.

At this time, it was not only foreign merchants who came to see the excitement, but also tea merchants from other regions. Everyone basically uses the traditional bamboo tube packaging, and seeing this thick outer packaging, these people have some inferiority complex in their hearts.

The bamboo strips and the rice dumpling leaves and palm leaves wrapped in layers were opened, revealing the cylindrical tea cakes inside. This is the Anhua black tea promoted by the Hunan government under Wei Ze's order. Anhua black tea was also used as a tribute before, but it declined like Jingdezhen in this era. The biggest feature of Anhua black tea at this time is that it is "cheap".

If we want to revitalize the economy, it is not enough to rely on land reform alone. At most, you can't starve to death if you dig in the soil, and if you want to make money, you have to have cash crops. In order to invigorate the economy, the new government in the liberated areas allocated a large amount of money to directly purchase tea leaves at extremely low prices due to the war, and shipped them to Guangdong and Shanghai for sale.

Soon after the recovery of Shanghai, the customs and financial business had not yet stabilized, and the tonnage of the large cargo ships of the Guangfu Army had reached 5,000 tons, so they took on the work of transporting tea.

Anhua black tea was originally different in size, shape and weight, and then gradually unified into a small cylindrical shape, weighing about 10 catties of the old scale, called "one hundred taels of tea". In order to save costs, the Guangfu Army selected the best raw materials on the basis of "one hundred taels of tea", increased the weight, and pressed them into a cylindrical shape with brown and slivers, each with a net weight of 1,000 taels (16 taels of old scales of 37.27 kilograms), called "thousand taels of tea", with a cylinder length of about 5 feet (166.5 cm) and a circumference of 1.7 feet (56 cm).

The tea leaves are roasted at high temperatures, and the color becomes dark brown and oily, so it is called "black tea". Black tea is also a kind of tea made by fermentation of bacteria, so it has a special aroma. This aroma has already attracted everyone's attention, and the taste is mellow after brewing, and if you add sugar cubes to it, the taste is even better.

It is true that different people's tastes will cause different judgments, but everyone thinks this tea is good. In fact, European countries do not particularly like white tea or clear tea, and this rough packaging and impactful taste immediately won the love of European merchants. It only took two days, and tens of thousands of catties of tea were sold out. Russian businessmen who came to the Canton Fair were even more eager to purchase more of this tea.

As in other respects, Weeser's vision and choice were once again successful. Anhua black tea was not a particularly cherished tea variety, and Wei Zedudu was still notoriously disfond of tea. But Weeser can accurately see the sales hotspots. The person in charge of the Hunan Pavilion naturally couldn't close his mouth when he smiled. Regardless of whether the tea sells well or not, the purchase of tea and the establishment of a processing plant must be thrown into it with a large amount of investment. The results of such gains are now clearly visible, and the joy of the person in charge is naturally from the heart. If the work is done well, it will be very helpful for promotion. Not to mention, the work that Wei Ze personally ordered can be even more of a plus.

The lively sales will naturally bring people who want to give Wei Ze good news, but these people are now blocked from the secretariat. Weeser simply didn't have time to hear the good news. Historically, the black tea bricks in the Yangtze River basin were sold very well in Europe, especially in Northern Europe. The Russians are very hungry for this tea, including the northwest of China. Weeser dared to invest in this area because he had seen it and he knew it. If the sales of this tea are extremely bleak, it can attract Wei Ze's attention.

At this time, in front of Wei Ze were Shen Xin and Wang Mingshan. Both of them returned to Guangzhou on a ship carrying tea, and at this time, two important personnel of Huainan land reform sat in front of Wei Ze to report on the land reform.

At Wang Mingshan's insistence, the sweep of the Huainan landlords was extremely ruthless. Shen Xin was unwilling to let Wang Mingshan leave bad deeds on his hands, so the work of disposing of Wang Mingshan's distant uncle was finally taken over by Shen Xin. In the end, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for trafficking in human beings. They were sent to the new Ma'anshan Iron Mine to carry out labor reform. The development of the Ma'anshan Iron Mine together with the Huainan Coalfield will naturally lead to a new coal-iron complex enterprise.

These places need a large number of miners, and at this time, the tens of thousands of smokers in the Jiangnan camp were sent to this place for labor reform. Like the big smokers in Guangdong, these guys have enough coarse grains, and they have to bear heavy physical labor while quitting smoking. Of course, this treatment brought a brutal mortality rate, but by letting these guys go, they lost the source of smoke and could only be called a social scourge. Therefore, not only Wei Ze, but also no one in the Guangfu Army felt that there was any problem with this kind of disposal.

After Wang Mingshan learned of the final verdict, he didn't say anything more. But throughout the process of land reform, Wang Mingshan completely adhered to his position and adopted an uncompromising attitude towards the old traditions. So in less than a year, Wang Mingshan, as a civil official, got the nickname of "King of Yama" in Huainan.

After experiencing these things, the boy who had an impatient personality and lacked his own opinions was gone, and what Wei Ze saw was a rather calm young man.

After listening to the two of them report on the land reform, Wei Ze said to Shen Xin: "Comrade Shen Xin, I am ready to transfer you to the General Political Department as the secretary of the party committee. You must have heard from the comrades of the Personnel Department about this, right? ”

Shen Xin replied in a firm tone: "Yes." I obey the organization! ”

Looking at Shen Xin's reassuring appearance, Wei Ze was very satisfied. He turned to Wang Mingshan, "We have some ideas about your work arrangement. But I'd like to ask for your opinion first, which department do you want to work in? ”

Wang Mingshan replied: "I still want to go back to Anhui to work. ”

"Oh? Why? Weser laughed.

Shen Xin hadn't seen Wei Ze much in the past few years, and he wasn't originally an old team that worked with Wei Ze, so he wasn't familiar with Wei Ze. But Shen Xin felt a lot of things from Wei Ze's smile. For example, although Shen Xin didn't dare to ask for verification, he was very suspicious that Wei Ze was afraid that he knew that Wang Mingshan wanted to stay in Anhui because Wang Mingshan also wanted to find out the news of his sister Wang Mingxiu. This move does not mean that there is anything wrong with it, and this is also the practice of normal people. is just completely immersed in personal thoughts, but actions will have a great impact on Wang Mingshan's future.

Being able to be the political commissar of the General Political Department, Shen Xin believes that Wei Ze is not an unkind person, and if there is news, of course the new government will help Wang Mingshan regain his sister. But Wei Ze gave Wang Mingshan the position, not so that Wang Mingshan could use this power to find his sister at any cost.

"So you want to stay in Anhui, and what is the reason?" Weeser asked.

Wang Mingshan did not hide it, he replied: "Anhui is close to the Hunan army, if there is a chance, I want to inquire about my sister who was taken away by the Hunan army." My sister is the only one left now. ”

Wei Ze Zhengse said: "Comrade Wang Mingshan, I have heard the comrades of the Organization Department talk about your situation, and I am also very sympathetic. If I were to say something big, I would be able to help you find your sister, and I could say the same. And this separation of flesh and blood, you should indeed get your sister back. But you also know that finding such a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, what I can say now is that there are many cases of relatives being separated in our Liberation Army, and we also have special departments that have organized special personnel to search for the lost relatives of our comrades. However, you can't use your authority to do this privately. Do you understand? ”

"Governor, oh. 陛xià. I know. Many comrades in Anhui have been separated from their families, and I know the department where they searched. Seeing the mass graves after the massacre of the Hunan army, I knew that this person said no, but he didn't ...... There is no ......" Wang Mingshan wanted to express his obedience to the organizational arrangement, but he choked up at the mention of death that would come at any time in this troubled world.

Wei Ze waited for Wang Mingshan's feelings to settle down before continuing to ask: "If you know that the organization will not refuse to help our own comrades. So let me ask you again, which department do you want to work in? ”

Wang Mingshan saw that his situation was already known to Wei Ze, and he saw Shen Xin looking at him with burning eyes, so he finally replied: "I obey the organizational arrangement!" ”

Wei Ze nodded with satisfaction, "Very good." We're going to build a brand new city of Guangzhou, which is a very big project and requires a good budgeter. Comrade Wang Mingshan, you worked very well when you were in the Ministry of Finance, and you especially dared to tell the truth. So I want you to work in the city engineering department first. ”R1058
