Chapter 177: Back to Liuhe, but Thoughts
After having dinner with Zhang Shaozeng at noon, and after giving four gold bars as usual, he got up to say goodbye and took a group of people to Pukou to inspect.
Jiangbei's Pukou is the terminus of the Jinpu Line, and the waiting hall is a three-storey building in the English style, with an arched promenade on the west side of the square in front of the station, which leads from the outer corridor on the ground floor of the station to the Pukou Wharf. The corridor is short, wide, and deep, with a pair of arched pillars on the top, and the shape is very beautiful, and it has a sense of depth and the times at a glance.
The endless flow of people waiting for the bus, their eyes looking at this group of people who seemed out of place from time to time, all dressed and carrying briefcases. The blonde foreigner wandered in front of the station with his suitcase in tow.
"There are a lot of foreigners, the Chinese people are still too poor, and they don't want to go out and walk around in their own homes, and there is a way to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books." Hu Wenkai said as he walked.
Sun Daming followed behind and said: "There will not be Matsushita-kun who arrived on the shore of the Pacific Ocean overnight, a country with a big nose." ”
Governor Wang Hu's subordinates explained: "General Hu has seen a lot more tourists in Pukou in recent years than before, and half of them used to be foreigners, but now foreign tourists account for a very small part. ”
He did not comment on the Pukou plan, but Jiang Qiuming and Sun Daming put forward a lot of suggestions. These two individuals have gained a lot of experience in the construction of Shanghai County, and their suggestions are also very pertinent.
In the end, Hu Wenkai suggested that the cable car from Pukou to Xiaguan should be built first, and the problem of difficulty in crossing the river should be solved first, and it was not his business how to build it. Deng Jun pondered on the side and said: "There is a difficult point that needs to build a concrete tower in Jiangxin, but it is easy to have a ready-made Jiangxinzhou available." ”
"You make a budget and hand it over to the company for my approval, and practice in front of the bridge building."
Deng Jun continued: "It is not difficult to build, the key is the equipment. ”
"Don't always think about making your own, you can go abroad to buy it and book it first."
Hu Wenkai offered to go to Liuhe, which is more than 20 kilometers away from Pukou, and the road was full of bumps along the way.
Returning to Liuhe is the deepest thought he has always entrenched in his heart, and he has always wanted to come back to see since he traveled to this era, but he is a demon in his heart.
The county seat of Liuhe is called Xiongzhou, and the legendary city wall is still there. In later generations, he could not see the wall, but it was demolished during this period, but he heard about it from his fathers. Several streets in Xiongzhou City are in the same direction as in the early 80s, and he parked his car near Liuhe Middle School, which already existed in time and space, and was located on a dilapidated temple.
He walked into the school and stopped for a long time everywhere, when Governor Liuhe received the news and rushed to him. Hu Wenkai asked him why the road to Pukou had not been built, and after listening to the governor's explanation, he mistakenly blamed the governor, Governor Wang Hu had already determined the address for the construction of the bridge, so the road in Liuhe led directly to the reserved address of the bridge.
Governor Liuhe reported on the achievements of the past year as he walked, the construction of villagers' committees and the crackdown on local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the popularization of compulsory primary education. The things he said were in place, but Hu Wenkai didn't have time to verify them one by one.
Hu Wenkai took out a check from his briefcase and handed it to the governor and said, "I have Wu Qian Dayang, you can help me build Liuhe Middle School, and these dilapidated buildings should be demolished, and a few new classrooms will be built so that students can have a good environment for studying." ”
"How can the boss do this, let you use your own money to repair the school."
"I'm asking you, please help me get this matter done, if you don't have enough money, you can ask me directly."
"Enough, enough, I thank the boss for the teachers and students."
Hu Wenkai seemed to be relaxed at this time, and reported the karma according to later generations.
Returning to Pukou and immediately crossing the river, Governor Wang Hu had a lot of opinions about Hu Wenkai, feeling that Hu Wenkai did not attach enough importance to Nanjing, not only did he come to Nanjing few times, but even if he never stayed overnight in Nanjing, he should stay with Hu Wenkai for dinner tonight and celebrate for Hu Wenkai.
Zhang Jingjiang said to him: "Wen Kai, the place where you are staying is the Great Presidential Palace, which was specially explained by Governor Wang Hu. ”
"Why is that place, I think it's a little weird, so arrange for everyone to stay there tonight, just after dinner, everyone gets together and chats." It doesn't matter if you visit during the day, but it's a bit creepy to let him live there alone at night.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to clean up the conference room and let the guards pick it up in advance." Zhang Jingjiang got off the ferry and went to make arrangements.
The Wang Hu banquet is located not far from the Xiaguan Steamship Wharf, and a small two-story building facing the river is called Wangjiang Pavilion. Governor Wang Shan and Speaker Liu waited for the arrival of Hu Wenkai and his entourage outside the Wangjiang Pavilion early in the morning.
Hu Wenkai hurriedly stepped forward: "Governor Wang, how can Speaker Liu work for you two, it's really a shame for Wenkai." ”
"Wen Kai, the two of us came out to greet the top person in charge of our party, the top leader of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and there are rules for some things." Speaker Liu said exquisitely.
Walking into Wangjiang Pavilion, the two floors of the good guy were all full of banquets, and the people inside saw Hu Wenkai walking in, and the applause was thunderous. Look at this posture, the Jiangsu Provincial Government has all the heads and faces. Hu Wenkai couldn't stop expressing his gratitude and met the familiar handshake and greetings.
Wang Hu picked up the microphone and said: "You old man today set up a banquet here to celebrate Hu Wenkai's victory in the rank of general, I believe that you don't need me to introduce the specific situation of General Hu, General Hu can come to Nanjing is our honor." Raise your glass to toast Admiral Hu Wenkai. ”
Hu Wenkai was roasted in the fire, he didn't like to be in the limelight like this, and it was best to be low-key. Everyone drank the wine glass in front of them and put it down, and found that Sun Xiaolan was very uncomfortable in a group of people, so they beckoned to him and motioned for him to sit down.
"What's going on with Xiaolan?"
"The boss is a few old friends of Qi Xieyuan in the past, and seeing that I was awarded the Jiangsu Overseer, I thought I took Qi Xieyuan's position and showed friendship to me." Sun Xiaolan's face was a little red, he knew that this Overseer was just a title and had no real power.
"People with good character can help, we are now short of talents, especially our own people." Hu Wenkai said unmindfully.
"Boss, do you find it, Nanjing seems to be a little out of place with us. You see, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xuzhou, I don't have this feeling, but in Nanjing, there is a feeling that it is not our territory. ”
Hu Wenkai thought for a while and said: "Nonsense, the grassroots officials in Nanjing have not undergone rotation training in the party school, and the departments of the provincial government are still the same as before, of course you have this feeling. ”
"The boss can't just go on like this, the one who should be trained in rotation still has to be rotated. What should be changed is still changed. ”
Hu Wenkai patted Sun Xiaolan on the shoulder and said: "It's not my heart, you and Teacher Liang Qichao are responsible for the remaining four months, don't look at me, you are the overseer of Jiangsu." ”
Sun Xiaolan had a feeling that he was being sold and helping to count the money, just for a moment, he said casually: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you, you are embarrassed to take care of Governor Wang Hu's face, I don't care." ”
Wang Hu, who was on the other side of the table, seemed to see through the conversation between the two of them and said with a smile: "Wen Kai, Sun Xiaolan overseers, the old man and Speaker Liu are busy with the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge, and you should find someone to take over as soon as possible in the province. ”
Hu Wenkai laughed and did not answer, and raised his glass to toast Governor Wang Hu. Some things don't need to be said explicitly, everyone can just tacitly say it.
Hu Wenkai led a group of people to toast table by table, he couldn't take a big thing to show his closeness to the people, a glass of wine was served in his hand and he didn't finish seven or eight tables, each table was just a dragonfly water-style mi, and no one really didn't open his eyes and care about him.
Wangjiang Pavilion is really a good place, the river breeze blows in from the window of the river at night, with a smell of water on the river. The restaurant was full of voices, Sun Xiaolan said that the atmosphere in Nanjing is really incompatible with the southern Jiangsu side, the drinking mode here is particularly greasy and crooked, and they are not simply touting each other, and they are in the style of an old oilman in officialdom. In their own words, it is called lifeless without passion.
There was no banquet that would not be dispersed, and after Hu Wenkai and his entourage thanked Wang Hu and Speaker Liu, more than a dozen cars drove away from Wangjiang Pavilion under the gaze of everyone.
The large glass conservatory next to the lotus pond in the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion was brightly lit, and a circle of sofas was placed against the wall, Hu Wenkai leaned on the sofa and held a teacup and looked at the brothers who followed him all the way.
"From today onwards, we will go all out to move to peace construction, and I predict that there will be no war for at least a year and a half, Wu Peifu's stationing in Henan is equivalent to resisting our direct lineage, and we occupy more than a dozen counties in Shandong to play a buffer role, and as for Hubei, Jiangxi, and Fujian, they dare not do anything to us if they have ten guts."
"After more than two years of fighting in the south and in the north, the situation in the three provinces and Shanghai has basically stabilized, and now the first priority is to rectify the army, and I have ordered that all battalion-level institutions be dismantled and only the company should be retained, and all officers at and above the battalion level should be admitted to the Yanyang Military Academy for a three-month training. After the reorganization of the Wu Wan soldiers, four divisions and four brigades were reorganized into companies, and the extra brigade was the Guards Brigade of the Restoration Party, with me as the brigade commander. ”
"The three provinces will fully establish villagers' committees by August, and the Fujin Party branch will be established in each township. I don't need to say more about the roads in the counties, and the old rules are built into standard roads. The land restriction order has been issued today, and it must be strictly enforced and cannot be bargained. All provinces and counties follow our successful model in southern Jiangsu, eliminate all checkpoints, set up checkpoints for direct execution, and ensure the smooth flow of trade routes. Compulsory primary school education will be implemented, and Anhui's agricultural tax will be exempted or exempted this year. ”
Today is a briefing meeting, and Hu Wenkai is not ready to say everything in detail.
"Boss, I have a question, dismantle all the institutions above the battalion level, what if there is a state of occasional war during this time?" Wang Hongguo was the first to ask questions.
Sun Xiaolan said that he came to explain that if it was incorrect, he asked the boss to correct it: "In reality, we only have a company organization on the surface, but the general staff directly commands the company, and if there is an emergency, we can establish a division, brigade, regiment, and battalion command organization within an hour." We adopt a new model, the company is a module, each company only has a number, it can be understood that we need to form a battalion, we only need to put the 1001, 1021, 1011, 1039 companies directly into this battalion, at any time to form a battalion-level organization. Each company is issued an identification card, and as long as the battalion headquarters holds the identification card issued by the General Staff, the company can be claimed. ”
"The advantage of this is to prevent the formation of factions in the relationship between superiors and subordinates for a long time, and in the words of the boss, it is one group of people who command and another group of people who are trained. The level of training is consistent across all companies. ”
