Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Phoenix City Government is Established
"Why did I choose Nanyang, let's take a look at the international situation, now France is not willing to lose the 'Franco-Prussian War', Prussia's development is thriving, its strength is constantly expanding, and the old hegemon British do not want to see the rise of Prussia, they fight for colonies all over the world, loot raw materials and dump their own industrial products, so as to satisfy their so-called aristocratic life."
"And the old empire of the Netherlands has come to an end, and the Americans are now being dragged by their own domestic economy, so that the contradictions between Britain and France and Prussia are irreconcilable, and a large-scale European war can be expected, the United States has no time to take care of us, and the Dutch have nothing to do with us, and the indigenous ** is useless, so that our opportunity has come, I dare not dare to hope that we can establish a regime in Nanyang, but in the future the Javanese regime must have the voice of our Chinese, Our Chinese in Nanyang will no longer be oppressed or even slaughtered by the natives, at the very least, we must have the strength to protect ourselves! ”
The people present stood up together, cheered for Chen Xuan's speech, and applauded again and again with excitement, and the applause lasted for a long time, Chen Xuan and the others calmed down a little, and then said:
"Comrades, this is a dream, but it is not a dream, I say that it is a dream because the strength of our revival party or Zhenhua is still weak, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning, but everyone, if we do not work hard to expand our strength, wait for the dust of the war in Europe to settle, and wait for the Yankees to sort out the domestic troubles, then our China will be in big trouble, and the European and American powers will not watch our China achieve great rejuvenation, and our evil neighbors will also be eyeing the Japanese country. Always ready to rush up and bite us. ”
"The League will be somewhat involved with the Japanese **, I dare not say that there is no evidence that the League will have any unfavorable actions against the country, but I can tell you for sure that even if the Japanese ** contribute money and efforts to support the revolution in the country, they are not out of good intentions, because a rich and strong China is not in the interests of the Japanese State, they only hope that we will have a civil war, a war, a non-stop war, defeat the scarred, fight until the country is weak and the people are tired, they can grab the greatest benefits, and even send troops to invade China, everyone, don't think I am alarmistThe occupation of the Liaodong Peninsula by the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War was the first step of the Japanese Empire, don't forget that the Liaodong Peninsula and the Eastern Railway are in our country, but the Japanese and the Russians ignore our sovereignty and give each other privately. ”
"Therefore, the development of Nanyang not only can not stop, we will also do our best to invest in Nanyang, introduce a large number of Chinese population, increase the proportion of Chinese population in Nanyang, one day, we Chinese can also live in this land uprightly, dignified to say, this is our land!"
"But everyone, all this requires your hard work, you need your wisdom, we don't have much time, we don't want to end up like the Indians, please!"
Chen Xuan's words are tantamount to expressing his stance on behalf of Zhenhua, and Chen Xuan is the chairman of the Baath Party, which naturally also represents the attitude of the Baath Party.
According to the introduction of Chen Jiageng, the head of the Baath Party Nanyang, the development of the Baath Party's party members is going smoothly, and now the Nanyang branch of the Baath Party has more than 1,000 people, and there are no less than that number of probationary party members, if it were not for the fact that the Baath Party does not recognize dual party membership, there will be more party members.
After a heated discussion, the people of Phoenix City were formally established, and after the instructions of Chen Xuan and the party committee present, Chen Jiageng served as the first county magistrate of Phoenix County, Ye Zhongyu served as the director of the Discipline Inspection Bureau, Bai Xunjian served as the director of the Finance Bureau and the director of the Industrial Bureau, Yu Youren did not return to China for the time being, and served as the director of the Education Bureau, Bao Yongxun, a foreign son of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, served as the director of the Taxation Bureau, Bao Yongxun studied finance in the UK, and was also the senior level of the Nanyang branch of the Baath Party, and Ao Shiju, the head of Shanghai Urban Construction Nanyang, served as the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. Sun Zhiheng served as the chief of police.
The leaders of each county are responsible for presiding over the actual work of their own departments, Chen Jiageng is responsible for overall management, and Ye Zhongyu has set up a court, which is not only responsible for the resolution of civil disputes, but also responsible for supervising officials and Zhenhua's high-level officials to avoid corruption and bribery.
Nanyang is not short of Chinese talents, the people who entered Nanyang earlier and the Westerners have more contact, so many of them have received a good Western education, and have not left their traditional culture, and even many excellent people have had the experience of staying abroad, so all departments are filled by these talents, and the country will also send a large number of people, which can not only accumulate political experience, but also fill the lack of this new **, of course, Fenghuang County will not claim to be established to the outside world, but only in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.
The establishment of Fenghuang County also confirmed for the first time the system of separation of military and political affairs, Sun Zhiheng can submit a report involving the military of various funds, by the party committee for examination and approval, after the examination and approval of the distribution to the county, by the county finance, by the county finance, if the county finance thinks that it is unreasonable, can be dismissed, but the normal salary payment is never allowed to be in arrears, in the same way, if the military thinks that the government's plan is unreasonable, it can also appeal.
Now Phoenix County is established, naturally there can not be only one county seat, in the inland place 30 miles away from the county seat, is the reclamation point of Zhenhua Nanyang Group, Zhenhua plans to build a road to connect, Sun Zhiheng's Nanyang Army Academy is located here, at the same time the ironworks and ash factories are also set up here, and various factories will also be moved over in the later stage, the positioning of Phoenix City is temporarily the existence of a political and economic center, and the internal relocation of ** will be considered in the later stage.
Nanyang Group plans to set up three more satellite reclamation sites around this reclamation site, increase the introduction of Chinese, and at the same time develop more farms and plantations.
The meeting lasted for two days, and after everything settled, Chen Xuan returned to Nanyang this time, and Chen Xuan, who returned to his residence, was also very tired, and he didn't even have the interest in warming up with Xu Ruohan, so he fell asleep directly.
The next day is the banquet time agreed with the Chinese businessmen in Nanyang, the banquet venue is selected in the hotel China Building of Nanyang Group, the whole five floors of the China Building, covering an area of more than ten acres, the water pavilion and the pavilion are winding and quiet, all Chinese design, standing on the China Building, you can overlook the street view of Phoenix City, and you can overlook the blue ocean, it is a rare golden location.
Chen Xuan and Xu Ruohan stood on the top floor, looking at the Phoenix City that they had developed because of themselves, and a sense of pride arose, thinking about themselves who were running around for three meals a day in later generations, compared with the 100,000 people under the ocean with assets of nearly 6 million who rely on him to eat, and the company of his beautiful wife, Chen Xuan sighed.
Chen Xuan thought that coming to Nanyang would reduce his thoughts about Zhang Youwei, but in fact he was wrong, Zhang Youwei seemed to be a part of his body, which had been engraved in his bones, and secretly asked Sun Zhiheng to help him send Zhang Youwei's reply letter, Chen Xuan imagined what she was doing, whether she was studying or missing herself, by the way, she also said that she already had a child with herself, and now it is almost 10 months, and the child is about to be born.
Thinking that he was going to become a father, Chen Xuan was excited and worried, excited that he finally had a bond in this world, worried about whether he could become a qualified father, thinking of this, Chen Xuan was gloomy again, Chen Xuan is not a decisive person, especially in terms of feelings, in the letter he did not dare to confess to Zhang Youwei, but described his work after Zhang Youwei left and how he missed Zhang Youwei, of course he also knew that such a thing could not be hidden, But he still chose to forget like an ostrich, he was too afraid, he was afraid that Zhang Youwei would suddenly disappear again, which would be a burden he couldn't bear.
"Brother, the time is almost up, I'm going down to greet the guests."
Sun Zhiheng came up and said, of course, this banquet is not as simple as drinking and eating, but also includes a lot of negotiations and cooperation between Zhenhua and overseas Chinese businessmen in Nanyang, and the two-day meeting has also roughly determined the direction of cooperation.
Chen Xuan said goodbye to Xu Ruohan, who was chatting with Mrs. Chen Jiageng and others, and took Sun Zhiheng and Xia Yunru downstairs, and Chen Jiageng, Ye Zhongyu and others were already waiting there, and after a while, the guests of the banquet came one after another, and the people who could entertain Chen Xuan were naturally big businessmen or leaders from all walks of life who were well-known in Nanyang, not that Chen Xuan looked down on people, there was really no way to deal with so many people, Chen Xuan could only say sorry in his heart.
There are four main purposes of this banquet:
1. Discuss the future development of Phoenix City with the leaders of Nanyang and establish a mutual aid alliance with the Nanyang Chinese, so as to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses among various commercial banks and industries, realize resource sharing, and avoid unnecessary waste.
Second, although the scale of Zhenhua's industrial products is not large, it can also provide a lot of goods, so there will be an ordering link.
Third, leaders from all walks of life in Nanyang have connections and capital, but there is no technology and forward-looking business prospects, and these are Zhenhua has, so Zhenhua will carry out business cooperation with leaders in various industries, Nanyang people out of the capital and contacts, Zhenhua out of technical personnel, machinery and equipment and management personnel, we jointly set up enterprises.
Fourth, to establish various rules and regulations for the survival of the Chinese in Nanyang, not to oppress and enslave the Chinese who come to Nanyang to seek a living, and to provide assistance to the Chinese who are living in difficulty as much as they can.
