Chapter 490: Role Model

Although the stone fence was dilapidated, when Sun Bo came here with a group of subordinates and some local gentry, he was very surprised to see this situation.

Hong Liang explained: "The children are usually idle, there are not many people here, and many soldiers were seriously injured and died here in several battles when the Rim River changed hands. I'll take the kids to clean up, otherwise...... In normal times, the other soldiers in the city did not come to the stone fence at all. If they don't clean up, the children will be weak, have little food, and although the water is okay, they will still be easily infected. Cleaning up like this, everyone also feels more at home. On both sides of the house, the better ones have been cleared out and lived. Some of the old and dilapidated houses are empty, and children are usually forbidden to enter. And...... Recently, food has been very low, so if the children move as little as possible, they will not be hungry so easily......"

Sun Bo sighed and asked, "You are alone here, can you manage it?" ”

"The children are more sensible, and besides, a few older kids will help. It's not very difficult to manage, hehe, I usually eat medicinal herbs outside, but in fact, I really don't have much time to take care of it seriously. Hong Liang said.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old child ran out of the side, but when he saw such a large group of people, as well as many soldiers of the Blood Qi Army, he suddenly stood still, hesitating whether to come over or not.

"Xiao Qi, go and call a few people, there is something to eat." Hong Liang greeted. The kid named Xiao Qi nodded vigorously, and immediately turned around and ran away. Then, immediately, he was heard shouting loudly from several houses.

"General, I know this is an excessive, can you ...... In addition to food, how about a little more money? Hong Liang asked.

Hong Liang's request shocked the local gentry, which was indeed quite excessive, and it was likely to make Sun Bo feel that he was not greedy enough.

"Oh?" Sun Bo smiled and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Buy a book, please sir...... I usually teach them to read and write with sand table branches, and they are diligent and studious, but I myself can read a few words, and I am also an orphan, so I am the most literate, and it seems that it is impossible to let them know more. After all, finding food for them is not the way to go, and it is better for them to find an errand in the future. Hong Liang said.

Sun Bo sighed and said, "Mr. Hong, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that, as a military region, I don't have the authority to give you any funds other than military spending, public security, and basic official expenses. I have a solution. I will appoint you as the deputy director of the Rimchuan City Affairs Department, and you will have three subordinate officials, and the authority to appoint you will also be handed over. You pick a few sensible children to join you, relying on the basic official salary, if you save a little money, it should be enough. Also, I'll sponsor you privately...... By the way, can you use the silver dollars and banknotes issued by Yunzhou Bank here? ”

Hong Liang was overjoyed and said: "Yes, yes...... This one...... In the past few years, Yunzhou silver coins have been the most important money in the world. ”

The local gentry around looked at Hong Liang's eyes full of jealousy, especially Hong Liang's ignorant appearance. The city affairs department is an institution that Sun Bo has explained to you just now, it is a temporary government agency during the military management period, responsible for handling all basic local affairs except for city defense, and has considerable authority before the establishment of the local official organization, the city guard office. And this deputy director plus the appointment of three subordinate officials, the salary is second, because the director must be the Dongping official brought over after returning to the garrison camp, then Hong Liang is basically the highest official among the locals. Hong Liang is indeed a local snake, and he has a pure character, if he can show a little in this position, help maintain law and order, pay taxes, and so on, he will almost certainly be officially appointed and become one of the local high-ranking officials in Gongchuan. The local gentry also knew what the character of Hong Liang was, and they were not worried at all that he would do whatever he wanted when he got to that position, and Dongping's strict administration did not allow such a situation to happen, especially here, Dongping wanted to really collect the land and population that originally belonged to Northern Liao in a short period of time, and the rule of officials was definitely the top priority. However, letting such an insignificant little person as Hong Liang climb on their heads all of a sudden, it was somewhat unpleasant. However, during the period of military control, none of them dared to say anything, and there was only a congratulatory voice.

Most of the food that Sun Bo brought to these children was captured locally, but there was also a batch of rations from the Blood Qi Army. The standard of the Blood Qijun's meal is quite high, basically a standard meal is no problem for two or three children to eat. Later, a military doctor was sent to examine the bodies of these street children and treat their diseases. The medics began treating the poor at four ration points in the city from the next day. Although these medics are actually better at dealing with trauma, the basic minor problems are still fine, and the more sensible local people quickly discover the benefits of these medics: they will never pretend to understand, and often encounter a medic who frowns, asks the patient to wait, and then calls a more skilled medic officer. And even the military medical officer will admit that he does not understand this, and leave a note for the patient, so that they can wait for the team of Dongping officials who will arrive later, and there is a whole medical team with the team, as well as a whole team of geography, climate, mapping, exploration and research.

Although the Blood Qi Army has always been lukewarm to the local residents of Gongchuan, it seems that they are just doing their business very seriously, rather than trying to please the local residents. But all kinds of measures made the people of Gongchuan feel relieved and began to cooperate with the actions of the Blood Qi Army. They knew that the Blood Qiqi Army might not like them, but it would definitely not be inexplicably unfavorable to them.

From the second day, Hong Liang, who took office, immediately showed his ability to handle all kinds of chores, and he was responsible for rationing as soon as he got started. Those street children are in the ration range, which naturally he doesn't have to worry about anymore, and he handles the rationing work very carefully and carefully, for those ration recipients who have left a list, he takes people to visit one by one to understand the situation of each household, and then he cancels the rationing of those who want to fish in troubled waters, but adds special rations such as fish, meat, eggs, medicines, etc. according to the specific situation of some people. Those who have children, the elderly, and the sick in the family basically receive more or less special care, and those who are cautious and whose declared ration is not enough to maintain the basic expenses of the family are to make up for it. This quickly earned him quite a decent reputation.

Not only that, but he also persuaded Sun Bo to release a small group of local prisoners of war and form a law and order squad. They mainly deal with people whose neighbors have received better rations, and then start to make trouble inexplicably. These prisoners of war either handled such matters impartially or went back to prison, as long as their brains were not caught in the door, and they naturally knew what to do.

And those who received the ration, those who had strong men in their families, Hong Liang organized them. Part of it went to the farmland outside the city to reclaim, and part of it was cleaned up in the city, and in less than five days, the operation of Gongchuan City actually became orderly in the hands of Hong Liang, a homeless man who had never been an official. This makes many people incomprehensible. And Sun Bo is quite proud of this, in his opinion, Hong Liang is hardworking and willing to work, and he is very thoughtful. He may have been soft in his dealings with the rich because he had to beg for food from the wealthy, but after a while in this position, he should be able to turn this soft interpersonal style into a very friendly and communicative style, without losing his decisiveness. If it is necessary to establish a model of Liao people governing Liao, even if Hong Liang turns around and really becomes the city guard of Rim Sichuan.

A few days later, the garrison battalion of the Yunzhou side came with a group of officials. Of course, there are various geographical and humanistic research teams and medical teams, Gongchuan is such an important city, in the original resolution, it is to be used as an important transit base to communicate Yunzhou and Beiliao, in the face of Beiliao is such a large emerging market, and it has been in a state of underdevelopment of various materials and production for many years, and many merchants in Dongping have long smelled the smell of money inside. This time, the garrison camp was accompanied by representatives of the Seven Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, a small group of researchers from the Bank of Yunzhou's Beiliao branch to prepare for the establishment of the Beiliao Branch, officials from the Yunzhou Communication Bureau, representatives of FedEx and DHL World Express, and even the branches of Fengyu Shengfang and Ajisen Ramen were ready to open quickly...... They immediately brought life to a city that had seemed a little too deserted.

But at this time, Sun Bo still led his troops to leave Gongchuan. Naturally, the city of Gongchuan, which is no longer threatened by the enemy, can be commercially developed in one way or another, but the battle is still ongoing. The rapid resumption of development and production in Gongchuan is also to be able to provide more powerful support to the front line. Compared with Gongchuan, although no half of the people dare to threaten Xiangning and Qingya now, this city and town show a completely different temperament. Xiangning City is now the place where Tan Xiaopei, the lord of Dongping, and Ye Tao, the envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy Mansion, are stationed, and the defense is extremely strong. And only a few days after leaving, when Sun Bo returned, he found that there were more than 120,000 troops concentrated in Xiangning and the surrounding area, and the airship also sent excellent local officials from all over the country. At this level, Sun Bo is serving in a well-informed place like the Blood Qi Army, and he has heard of many of these officials, and many of them are the best among the young officials in Dongping...... Sun Bo quickly understood. The lord of the country and Ye Shuai are ready to consolidate the places they have occupied first, and prepare for the comprehensive capture of Northern Liao......
