Chapter 36 Transformation

After Ji Kang came to Liaodi, the officials of the two counties of Liaodi clearly felt that they had held more meetings in this year than in previous years combined.

After Ji Kang heard this, he expressed his understanding. At a grand court meeting in the Prince's Mansion this year, he said to all the officials: There are many "meetings" of progressive forces and many "taxes" of reactionary forces. Immediately, regardless of whether the officials understood or not, he flicked his small sleeves and stood up and left. I didn't understand, I'm sorry, I didn't explain, I went down to understand and comprehend it myself.

Anshan Villa, Xinchang County, in the conference room of the courtyard where Ji Kang lives. At this moment, a meeting is being held on the fate of the nearly 20,000 bandits who have been captured.

After Ji Kang and Ju Xin came to Liaodi last year, in order to ensure the smooth progress of Liaodi's future work, they decided to carry out a devastating blow in the face of the increasingly rampant banditry activities in Liaodong and Liaoxi counties.

On the occasion of last year's Spring Festival, the officers and men of Liaodong and Liaoxi counties were smashing hundreds of bandit gangs, large and small, at the cost of sacrificing hundreds of people.

The bandit leaders were all beheaded according to Ji Kang's orders. The remaining nearly 20,000 bandits, along with their dependents, were escorted to four concentration camps in Anshan, Wuxi, Juzhuo, and now Yushi County, where they were to build houses, build roads, and mine in what his son Ji Kang called labor reform.

In the process of labor reform, Ji Kang treated the reformed bandits and their dependents separately.

All the bandits who were caught, according to Ji Kang's orders, were unpaid and compulsory labor. In addition to ensuring their daily food and clothing, they will not be paid any salary; After two years, the salary is paid; After five years of re-education through labor, if there is no violation of discipline, they will be released and registered as a formal and legal citizen.

As for their dependents and children, they will be registered according to the treatment of Yanmin. Families are paid salaries for any work such as farming and weaving. For the children of the bandits, not only are teachers asked to teach them literacy, but they are also paid any work they do.

What the government has done to the bandits' families and children has effectively appeased the vast number of bandits who are being reformed, and has allowed most of the bandits who are being reformed to face their own transformation with a correct attitude.

And at Ji Kang's suggestion, these centralized management camps have sent suitable officials to serve as the so-called instructors of Gongzi Ji Kang, and to preach these reformed bandits every day. Let them understand how shameful their previous actions were, and how much damage they have done to themselves and other people.

Under the daily heart-to-heart talks and propaganda of these instructors, most of the bandits realized their mistakes, and some bandits even wept bitterly at the propaganda meeting, and actively reported the crimes of other bandits to the instructors, as well as the bandit leaders who were still hidden in the army of reformed bandits and had not been eliminated.

On this basis, after a year of practical experience, many instructors believe that many of the contents of the "Interim Regulations on Labor Reform" formulated by Ji Kang at the beginning of the year are no longer in line with the current actual situation. And based on their own practical experience, they have put forward their opinions.

This time in Anshan, Ji Kang saw the arrival of Ju Xin, Ji Mao, Su Qing, etc., and decided to join Shi Yong, Huang Yong and others, and recruited the responsible persons of instructors from Yushi, Anshan and other places to collectively study and solve the problems in the "Interim Provisions on Labor Reform" in Anshan, and according to the opinions expressed by many instructors, revise the new regulations, and take the lead in implementing them in Anshan Industrial Zone.

At the beginning of the meeting, Jiang An, the current doctor in the Ministry of Officials and the person in charge of the Xilu Coal Mine, took the lead in speaking: "Son, drama, and my lords, since we tried to implement the "Interim Regulations on Labor Reform" for nearly a year, many of the contents in it are indeed not in line with the actual situation, for example, the salary can only be paid after two years of reform. In the actual labor reform, it is very easy to cause the phenomenon of 'big pot rice' mentioned by Gongzi, which makes many people who are actively reformed extremely dissatisfied ......."

Gao Yao, the current county magistrate of Yushi County and the person in charge of the Yanshi Salt Farm, also stood up and said: "...... We have this phenomenon everywhere, and there are regulations that stipulate that you can become a free citizen after five years, which is very unfair to the reformers and their dependents who have been doing well......."

Shi Yong, the person in charge of Anshan Industrial Zone, also said: "...... For example, we have a renovation personnel in the steel mill this time, and he has eliminated the hidden dangers of the steel blast furnace several times and made great contributions to the steel plant, but according to the regulations, he cannot be rewarded, which is not conducive to our future work......

……

Except for Huang Yong, the current deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, who sat quietly on the side and did not speak. Participants all expressed their views of one kind or another.

After everyone finished expressing their opinions, Ji Kang and Jun Xiangju Xin made several latest regulations for these reformers according to the various opinions expressed by everyone at the meeting.

Ju Xin said to everyone: "...... Through this year's labor reform, it can be seen that the "Interim Provisions on Labor Reform" are useful and have also played a great role in these reformed personnel, but there are indeed shortcomings that need to be revised. I suggest that we pay salaries from next year onwards for many rehabilitated personnel, except for those who have committed major crimes, in order to increase their motivation......"

And Xiaojun Hou Jikang finally concluded: "...... Everyone summed up very well, and there are two main problems, one is that there is no clear reward and punishment system, and the other is that the length of service is too long. Therefore, I discussed with the drama that from the end of this year, we will register the reformers who have performed well or made significant contributions as free citizens.

Those who are willing to go home will be paid travel expenses, and after returning to their hometowns, they will be resettled in houses and allocated fields; Those who do not want to go home will be promoted, and their salaries will be paid according to our regulations.

From next year onwards, according to the drama, a salary system will be implemented for all the renovators, except for a few personnel, but it will be 10 percent lower than the salary we have set. The length of service was changed from five years to three years, and after three years, he could be ......a freeman. ”

Finally, the participants unanimously said that this meeting is of great significance. For the future transformation work and other work in Liaodi, the working methods and prospects have been pointed out, and the principle of future work in Liaoning has been established, that is, practice is the only way to test the results of all work.

After the meeting, Ji Kang and Jun Xiangju Xin left Gao Yao and Jiang An behind.

Ju Xin said to the two: "According to the plan of the Junhou Mansion, it was decided to expand the industrial zone. At present, Jujuo County is centered on Xilu Coal Mine and establishes Jujuo Industrial Zone, which can set up textile factories, cement factories, wood factories, coking plants, etc. in addition to iron and steel plants;

In the same way, in addition to the steel plant and cement factory, shipyards, textile factories, carp factories, fish factories, and seafood factories were established in the county, and the industrial zone was established. ”

Gao Yao and Jiang An are overjoyed, and the current situation of Anshan Industrial Zone is booming, and they can both see it.

Ji Kang smiled and said to the two: "The two of you have a great responsibility, which is also determined by your geographical environment and resources. Ju is rich in coal resources, Jiang An, you can think of more ways on this;

Gao Yao, your county is located near the sea, and you must think of more ways on the sea while expanding the scale of the salt farm. However, in the industrial zone of Thishi County, polluting factories must not be built, and in addition to salt farms, a food industry based on marine materials can be established.

In this way, we have established a triangular industrial zone in Liaodong County, with Anshan as the center, supplemented by drama and Yushi. For our Liaodi, this has a solid economic foundation. ”

Gao Yao and Jiang An stood up together, bowed down and said, "Obey the orders of the son and the drama." ”

Ji Kang nodded and encouraged: "You two have to do it, as long as you do it well, I believe that the two adults have a bright future!" ”

"No."

In the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, Anshan Industrial Zone, the commendation meeting for transformation personnel.

Xin Quanjie, like hundreds of other renovation personnel standing on the commendation platform, looked at the big red flower on his chest and was full of emotion.

Xin Quanjie was originally the son of an ordinary blacksmith in Xinchang County, and before Ji Kang and the others arrived in Liaodi, after the death of his parents, he joined the bandits. Created modified weapons for the bandits, and never killed people and set fires in peacetime. And after joining the bandits, he also married a woman who was robbed and gave birth to a son.

During the government's crackdown on bandits last year, the leader of his gang refused to accept the recruitment. In the end, the entire gang was exterminated by the official army, and several leaders were also beheaded by the government.

He and many bandits also became prisoners and were escorted to the Anshan Industrial Zone to undergo the labor reform called by the government. His wife and son did not leave him, but came to Anshan Industrial Zone with Xin Quanjie.

With the help of the instructors, Xin Quanjie was deeply aware of the pain caused to the people by joining the bandits. I also saw that the wife who became a weaver received a high salary every month, and the son was also arranged to take classes to read and write. This is unthinkable for Xin Quanjie. Since then, Xin Quanjie has secretly made up his mind to complete the 'redemption' that the instructors told him through his positive performance.

After coming to Anshan, when he was told that he was a blacksmith by the industrial zone, he was transferred to the steel factory. In the operation of a blast furnace, the hidden danger of the blast furnace was eliminated under the condition of high temperature, which was greatly appreciated by Ding Dashan, the director of the steel plant.

On the commendation stage, Shi Yong, the mayor of the industrial zone, announced that he had become a free citizen. Looking at his wife and son in tears in the audience, Xin Quanjie burst into tears.

After coming down from the commendation platform, Xin Quanjie, his wife and son hugged and cried. After discussion with the whole family, they felt that Anshan Industrial Work was good, the salary was high, and the son could also receive education here. It was decided that the whole family would stay in the industrial area to work and not return to their hometown. This move was greatly affirmed by Shi Yong, the head of the industrial zone, and Ding Dayou, the head of the steel plant, and promoted Xin Quanjie to the director of the first workshop of the steel ladder factory, which also improved Xin Quanjie's enthusiasm for work.

Most of the rehabilitators who were declared freed, like Xin Quanjie, stayed in the industrial zone, and some even brought their relatives from their hometowns to work in the industrial zone together.
