Chapter 9: Strengthening the Territory

Thank you for the rewards of the three classmates, Nangong Qiuyue, and Arank, bow down!

Some readers in the book review area said that what is the meaning of smearing Sun Yat-sen vigorously. I want to ask rhetorically: What does it mean that you keep adding halos to Sun Yat-sen?

Sun Yat-sen wrapped the second and third grandmothers, and it was true that he played Lori, and it was his usual means to make wishes everywhere, and politicians were shameless, I just wrote according to reality, you are very disappointed, and if it is difficult to accept, then I can't help it.

――――(Text)――――

The East China Temporary Political Axe was not immediately relocated, Xia Jun first sent personnel to Hangzhou to enclose land and build buildings, and Xia Jun had all the drawings ready.

In addition, he specially explained that he would buy a large piece of land by the West Lake, and Xia Jun would build a villa group there, in addition to living for himself, but also for his subordinates.

As the 3rd Division moved north, Zhejiang's forces were quickly replenished, and the 4th Provisional Division also returned to the Zhejiang battlefield because it had stopped its attack on Jiangsu.

The whole province of Zhejiang was soon conquered by Xia Jun, who actively recruited the revolutionaries in the territory and expelled those who could not be recruited and who held official positions in the local area.

The whole of Fujian and Zhejiang has become the world of the revival party, and because of the reading power of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, Tao Chengzhang also came to Jian'an with many members of the Liberation Society. Lu Xun is among them, Lu Xun is also a member of the Restoration Society, and his relationship with Tao Chengzhang is also very good.

Because of the arrival of these people, the scale of the Baath Party has been rapidly expanded, and the number of party members has grown to more than 3,000 at this time, and the number is still increasing.

The reason why the Ba'ath Party has been able to develop so rapidly is mainly because the revival theory put forward by Xia Jun does not distinguish between groups, whether rich or poor, and pays attention to revival together. But Xia Jun has already achieved initial success in Fujian, and the situation in Fujian has been greatly changed, and in the face of facts, this theory of panacea can make people absolutely convinced.

Now that the voice of revolution within the Baath Party has been lowered, the voice of revival has become louder, and 'revival' has gradually risen to a level on a par with 'revolution', and there is a tendency to replace it.

Under the situation of proving everything with facts, those enthusiastic young people and revolutionary aspirants have accepted the theory of rejuvenation one after another, and although Xia Jun, the chairman of the committee, is young, his prestige in the party is getting higher and higher day by day.

Since Lu Xun came to Jian'an, Xia Jun immediately hired him as the editor of "Fuxing Daily", if he did a good job, the editor-in-chief of Fuxing Daily would basically be Lu Xun's.

Tao Chengzhang came to Jian'an this time to serve as the Minister of Education, Tao Chengzhang is usually dressed plainly, in order to raise funds to run around, has a very high prestige among the people at the bottom of the society, a person who can win prestige in the bottom of the society, the moral character is naturally not bad, and the Minister of Education did not let him go directly to teach, the most important thing is morality, only people with good moral character can be qualified for this position.

As for ability, Xia Jun does not ask him to have any opinions on the construction of his surname, because he will directly intervene in the development of education, so as long as he has good character and can do things, Tao Chengzhang is the most suitable to be the Minister of Education.

The Minister of Health was handed over to Yang Xingye to be responsible, and on this day Xia Jun invited the two to discuss the issue of education and medical fees, with the current financial resources, it is completely incapable of supporting free medical care and free education for a long time, of course, if you exchange points for medicines, you can achieve free medical treatment.

Yang Xingye advanced Xia Jun's office, and Xia Jun said to Yang Xingye: "Now that the temporary political axe has just been established, I am afraid that there are many places to spend money, and with the current financial strength, it is too difficult to implement free medical care." Therefore, in the future, the Ministry of Health will collect money for minor illnesses and free for major illnesses, and poor households will be exempted or allowed to be in arrears, and all the income from pharmaceuticals will be allocated to your Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Health will try to reduce medical prices as much as possible, so as to achieve a balance between revenue and expenditure, and don't turn this department into a profitable department, understand? ”

"Understood." Yang Xingye nodded and said, the current free medical policy is indeed not going far, because there is no money now, Xia Jun has the 93 million silver dollars in his hand, and there are many places to use it, and the infrastructure will basically be gone if it is repaired.

Now Xia Jun has adjusted his policy and started to collect money for minor illnesses, mainly because the money for minor illnesses is not much, and most people can get this money, and it is easy to borrow it if they can't find someone to borrow. Serious illness will drag down the economy of many families, and even die of illness without money, so the serious illness side still has to bear the burden of free medical care.

At the same time, Xia Jun will also allocate all the pharmaceutical income to the Ministry of Health, and the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is the focus of Xia Jun's investment in the future, because the drug profits are extremely high, so the future allocation to the Ministry of Health will be more and more, anyway, the Ministry of Health will reduce as much as it wants.

Then Tao Chengzhang also came, Xia Jun and Tao Chengzhang talked about the issue of education fees, in the cost of education, Xia Jun advocated the same temporary balance of income and expenditure, and then implement free education when there is money in the future, but in terms of fees, the children of poor households can be exempted from tuition, and at the same time, if a place is generally not rich, it will not charge tuition.

The subsidy for education is greater than that for medical care, and Xia Jun allocated 45 million silver dollars from 93 million silver dollars in one go to the Ministry of Education for running schools.

"If the chairman of the committee can attach so much importance to education, there is hope for the rejuvenation of China!" Tao Chengzhang said very excitedly, it really made him excited, Xia Jun not only attaches great importance to industry, but also attaches great importance to education, which is the equal importance of industry and education to save the country!

"Money is not a problem, we have to tighten our belts to run education, and it will be up to Brother Tao when the money is in place." Xia Jun said to Tao Chengzhang.

"We will certainly live up to the high expectations of the chairman." Tao Chengzhang clenched his fists and said, looking confident.

After Tao Chengzhang went out, Xia Jun talked in detail with the ministers of various departments and explained their work goals and code of conduct for the next period of time.

At this time, the armed forces departments in various parts of Fujian began to recruit soldiers again, and the armed forces departments were responsible for the training of local militias, and they all had a good understanding of the local military resources, so the recruitment speed was very fast.

For this reason, many officers from the First Division were transferred from the First Division to serve in these mixed brigades and reading regiments, and at the same time, a number of students from the Infantry Section and the Artillery Section of the Army Academy of the East China Military Academy were also transferred to serve in the mixed brigades.

Among the second batch of trainees, Zhang Yicheng and Chen Xuantao of the Infantry Section had the best academic performance, and both of them were appointed as commanders of the mixed brigade, while the other three brigade commanders were officers transferred from the first division.

However, the soldiers of the five mixed brigades and the five reading regiments that were expanded this time were mainly drawn from the 4th and 5th provisional divisions.

As soon as the five reading regiments were formed, they were immediately deployed to the predetermined garrison area to prevent being taken advantage of by the warlords of the neighboring provinces, while the five mixed brigades responsible for the defense of the coastline first trained in Jian'an for one month, then practiced combat skills for two months, and built fortifications for two months, and then transferred to the coastal defense line, that is, after training, they had six months to build coastal fortifications.

During the military adjustment, You Zhengbin was constantly sending administrative personnel to the outside world, and he had to take care of many things as the head of the administrative department at this time.

At this time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was taken over by the newly appointed Minister Zhao Chensheng, who was originally You Zhengbin's deputy, and after You Zhengbin was transferred from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he took over the most troublesome department in this work.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs, this department must first register the household registration of the people in various places, and then distinguish the poor households for relief, and at the same time re-examine these poor households at regular intervals. A large number of household registrations and demographic statistics are indeed a nuisance.

Fujian quickly stabilized during this uprising, because most of the population in this era was concentrated in the countryside, while the rural areas of Fujian were almost fully autonomous, while Zhejiang was a little chaotic because the countryside had no foundation, but Zhejiang's chaos was quickly suppressed.

Zhejiang's townships and towns have also begun to form autonomous councils, Zhejiang's local heritage is better than Fujian's, township autonomous councils give those local squires the opportunity to make a name for themselves, as well as let them display their ambitions, most of the squires have the will to do practical things for the township, the squires of this era are very concerned about their reputation. However, there are always some irregularities at the beginning, and this needs to be corrected slowly.

After the establishment of the local autonomous council, Zhejiang was quickly stabilized. The East China Provisional Political Axe was willing to delegate power to the local squires, and the local squires naturally supported the East China Provisional Political Axe.

After the situation in Zhejiang quickly stabilized, Xia Jun was much more relieved, and since the territory had been almost consolidated, he had to start planning to issue banknotes.
