After the biggest problem of army expansion was solved, Wang Hong did not leave.

His face suddenly became very serious, and then he spoke: "Regiment commander, the losses of the troops have been said, but the losses of the base area have not been said!" ”

"According to statistics, in the past few days when the Japanese puppet army entered the base area, a total of 11 villages were burned down, 1,856 houses were destroyed, and more than 8,900 people in the base area lost their homes!"

"Although we organized the guerrillas and ordinary people in various villages to save themselves, we used the ruins to build temporary shacks to ensure that everyone did not have to sleep on the streets for the time being, and had a place to escape from the cold!"

"But this is not a long-term solution, we must fulfill our promise as soon as possible to help them rebuild the burned houses!"

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it may snow in another month, so if we can't fix the houses before this and let the people move back to their new homes, people will definitely freeze to death just by relying on shacks to survive the winter!"

This is a big problem, which has a bearing on the morale of the people and the army in the entire base area, and must be resolved!

Li Hao made a decision secretly in his heart.

But this is not a few dozen or hundreds of houses, but almost two thousand.

If all the oceans are used to compensate according to the price, 50,000 oceans may not be able to be taken.

Although the independent group guards the sweet potato flour factory, the pig farm, and the chicken farm, the independent group can only leave one percent of the profit every month, and it is less than 2,000 yuan when it is full, and even if it is all taken out, it will take three years to make up these oceans.

What's more, these oceans already have other uses, and they are buying grain in large quantities, and there is no surplus at all.

Thinking of this, Li Hao's brows involuntarily twisted into a big Sichuan character, his face was calm, and he didn't say a word for a long time!

Wang Hong hesitated for a moment and proposed: "Regiment leader, if it really doesn't work, we will suspend the purchase of grain and take out the monthly share to compensate the people!" ”

"No way!"

Li Hao behaved very resolutely in this matter, without the slightest intention of compromise!

If we don't take advantage of the end of the autumn harvest and the grain is still in the hands of the people, we will collect all the surplus grain. When the common people sell grain to grain merchants and flow out of the base areas, it will definitely be difficult for the troops to buy so much grain, and they will have to pay a higher price!

Li Hao will never do a loss-making business, so it will definitely not work to interrupt the purchase of grain!

"What then? Nearly 2,000 houses were rebuilt, and nearly 20,000 oceans were required to prepare materials alone. If you don't have money, you can't buy materials and you can't rebuild those houses! Wang Hong was anxious, and chased Li Hao and asked!

"Fix it all yourself!"

Li Hao seemed to have thought of a way and replied very firmly!

"The materials used to build houses are nothing more than bricks and wood, and if I remember correctly, except for the towns, the average village uses very little bricks and stones, and all of them use adobe bricks. As long as there are human hands, we can produce adobe and wood ourselves! ”

"As for the manpower needed to rebuild the house, there are tens of thousands of people in the base area, as long as we mobilize effectively, we will definitely come out!"

After speaking, Li Hao stared at Wang Hong and asked, "Political commissar, you just said that the eight hundred prisoners in our hands should be able to mobilize five hundred people to join our Eighth Route Army?" ”

"The lowest at this time!" Wang Hong affirmed!

"Then mobilize as soon as possible!" Li Hao ordered in a hurry.

"The remaining prisoners who are unwilling to join our Eighth Route Army will all stay according to the old rules, and give us different hours of labor according to the size of their crimes, and I will rely on them to get the bricks and wood needed to rebuild these two thousand houses!"

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, there are hundreds of captives in the secret camp, add them in!"

"Thousands of people work together to make adobe bricks, cut wood, and at most get the materials needed for 2,000 houses in a month!"

"Also, although they are all captives, we also have to treat them differently!"

"Ordinary prisoners who are not willing to participate in our Eighth Route Army can do things for ten or so hours a day, and let them be fed and well-fed!"

"And we don't need to be so polite to those vicious captives!"

"They have to pay for their actions, and they have to make them unforgettable! Even if he is released by us in the future, he will not have the courage to join the puppet army again, sell his life to the little devils, and do a lot of evil! ”

"For them, work at least fifteen hours a day!"

"You don't have to feed them too well, as long as you don't starve to death!"

"Use all the tricks they used to use against the common people and our Eighth Route Army on themselves, and return a tooth for a tooth!"

Wang Hong was very principled, hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Regiment leader, will this violate discipline!" ”

"I'm afraid that when the news gets out, someone will say that we mistreat the prisoners!"

Li Hao shook his head, and the corners of his mouth quickly flashed a sneer before replying.

"Then let's go the other way and make them volunteer to do fifteen hours a day, so that there will be no mistreatment of prisoners!"

Wang Hong retorted with a disbelieving expression: "Impossible! ”

"Commander, you haven't seen those captives, their skins are thicker than the city walls, even if they usually do things, they have to be watched, otherwise they will definitely steal and play tricks!"

"If you want them to take the initiative to do things, it's definitely harder than climbing to the sky!"

Li Hao replied confidently: "That's the political commissar, your method is not used well!" ”

After thinking for a few seconds, he asked rhetorically: "Political commissar, when you were in the military sub-district, what did the troops eat every day?" ”

"Multigrain cakes, wowotou, wild vegetable soup, pickles, ......" Wang Hong replied without thinking about it!

"The situation in the military sub-district is much worse than that of the independent battalion, and it is already good for the troops to have a full stomach every day! As for the white flour steamed buns, it's good to be able to eat one meal in two or three days! Pork is a meat that can only be seen in half a month, or even a month! ”

Li Hao immediately made a decision: "Then we will entertain these captives with the same food!" ”

"Political commissar, if you go down, divide the captives into two groups, and the die-hard traitors who are full of evil will be in one group, and give them such food every day!"

"We in the Eighth Route Army will give them whatever they eat, and when this matter spreads, no one will say that we abuse them. It's impossible to give them fragrant food and spicy food, and our Eighth Route Army will be hungry ourselves! ”

"Tell them that if they work hard every day, one of the three meals a day can be changed to eating white flour steamed buns!"

"If you don't do things well, you just want to mess around, okay, we won't stop us, then eat multigrain cakes with wild vegetable soup every day!"

"In addition, the ten captives who do the best things every day can eat one meal of meat, and if they eat meat for ten consecutive days, then congratulations, he can leave this captive camp and join the group of ordinary prisoners, and he doesn't have to continue to suffer!"

Wang Hong's eyes had begun to glow, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Good way!" Commander, how did you come up with such a good idea! ”

"Those captives are usually used to being pampered, how can they stand eating multigrain cakes with wild vegetable soup every day, in order to be able to eat white flour steamed buns and pork, no matter how lazy they are, they will rush to do things desperately!"

"I never thought that one meal would bring out all their enthusiasm! I'll do it in a moment! ”

Li Hao nodded and replied: "How to do it, what kind of standard is it, you can decide it, in a word, I want to squeeze out all the surplus value of these captives, so that they will regret selling their lives to the little devils for the rest of their lives!" ”

"Now that the raw materials are solved, all that remains is to build a house!"

"The manpower needed to rebuild the houses is left to the villages, and the autumn harvest is over, and now is the time for farming!"

"As long as everyone is willing to contribute to building us a house, we will independently manage three meals!"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, just take care of three meals for our independent group and save the rations at home, I believe that many people are willing to do it!"

"In this way, our independent regiment only needs to produce food to rebuild all the burned houses before the snow falls in winter!"
