On September 1st, the summer sun shone on the land, and the weather was beautiful, making it a good day to go out and gather. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After entering Yan'an, the good discipline and work style of the Red officers and men won the heartfelt support of all the people of Yan'an in just a few days.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the people who had had breakfast wore white lamb's belly papa, dressed in bare old sheepskin jackets and big crotch trousers, white coats, red belly wraps, and thousand-layer cloth-soled shoes, brought their own waist drums, red silk ribbons around their waists, blowing suona, carrying big drums, and carrying big Yangge to the south city gate, and spontaneously lined up in a neat queue along both sides of the road, waiting for the arrival of the leaders of the Party Central Committee.

At 10:20 a.m., the contingent of the central column finally arrived, and at the forefront was the commander-in-chief, who was still in full bloom and steady pace, while the rest of the central leaders and the heads of the Central Military Commission surrounded the commander-in-chief.

Zhang Cheng, political commissars, government leaders in Yan'an, and local progressives greeted them one after another, shook hands with the commander-in-chief and the leaders, and then walked into the city gate with the commander-in-chief and the central leaders.

Suddenly, firecrackers on both sides of the road rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, suona sounded, Yangge writhed, and the people thundered, converging into a cheerful and lively march.

The tall, rough, enthusiastic and unrestrained people of northern Shaanxi beat waist drums, waved red ribbons, twisted Yangge, sang and danced, and welcomed the Red Army into Yan'an as if they were relatives.

On this day, the city of Yan'an became a sea of joy, with the Red Army officers and soldiers singing and dancing with the people, and the fish and water were very compatible. After the meeting, the Shaozong Art Troupe and the Military Commission Art Troupe jointly launched a unique literary and artistic performance, which opened the eyes of the people who watched it for the first time, and the whole Yan'an was dressed in festive colors.

In the evening, Zhang Cheng took the guard Xiao Lizi and walked into a cave where the commander lived in Yangjialing. Zhang Cheng believed that with the base areas, the development of industry and agriculture and economic construction in the Soviet area should also be put on the agenda.

As a time-traveler in later generations, Zhang Cheng has eaten pork even if he has never seen a pig run, and he has been immersed in the later generations with developed information for so many years, and he has some ideas to talk to the commander about some plans for the development of production and economy.

The commander was very happy to see Zhang Cheng take the initiative to come to his house, put down the map in his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhang Cheng, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, do you have any ideas to tell me today, hurry up, I want to see what medicine you sell in the gourd!" ”

"Commander, you are really a prophet of the world's martial arts, I do have some thoughts I want to report to you." Zhang Cheng and the commander were very close, and there were not many pleasantries, and they quickly got to the point.

"Very well, your ideas are always new, I will listen to you." The Commander nodded, making a gesture of listening.

Zhang Cheng Zhengse said: "Yes, commander." Ever since our army entered northern Shaanxi, I have sent people to conduct a detailed investigation and study of the situation in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Soviet region, and found that the situation here is not optimistic, especially in terms of agricultural production and economic construction, which are particularly underdeveloped.

Our northern Shaanxi Soviet region is located on the Loess Plateau, where the people of Guanzhong have been cultivating for thousands of years, resulting in overdevelopment, land fatigue and lack of people, and economic development is very backward.

Nowadays, the life of the common people here is already very difficult, and now it has increased the burden of our 100,000 Red Army, and we have to face the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops.

Therefore, after some study and analysis, I believe that the most urgent task of our Red Army at present is to do a good job in agricultural production and promote local economic construction, in addition to smashing the encirclement and suppression of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kuomintang Party. ”

The commander-in-chief listened attentively and highly recognized Zhang Cheng's ideas, but the commander-in-chief was mainly focusing on military work at present, so he invited Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhou, Zhang Luofu, Liu Shaoqi, and other central leading comrades who were mainly in charge of government work to listen to Zhang Cheng's "high views" one by one.

The commander-in-chief said to the leaders: "Xiang Yu, Luo Fu, I think Comrade Zhang Cheng's ideas are very insightful. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation have always been the most important issues concerning the people, and if we do not solve this problem, even if we drive away the hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops, we will not be able to stay in the Soviet base areas for long. ”

"Naturally, I agree with the commander-in-chief's proposal. However, since Comrade Zhang Cheng has raised this issue, there must already be a solution, so we might as well talk about it. Deputy Commander Zhou said to Zhang Cheng.

The rest of the leaders also set their eyes on Zhang Cheng, wanting to see what surprises he could bring to everyone.

Although Zhang Cheng was facing so many central leaders, he had already been tempered, he sorted out his thoughts, and said calmly: "I think that if you want to develop the economy of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Soviet Region, you can start from several aspects at the same time:

First, it is necessary to set up an agency specifically responsible for economic development.

For example, an organization similar to the 'Northwest Economic Development Committee' has been set up to lead and promote agricultural development and economic construction in northern Shaanxi.

Second, we need to tap and nurture talent.

No matter what era it is, if you want to achieve great things, you must have enough talents, especially in economic construction, you need a large number of professional and technical personnel.

In the future, we can take advantage of the imminent invasion of North China by the Japanese invaders to secretly recruit some experts, professors, engineers, college students, and skilled workers from the Gyeonggi region of Beiping, where colleges and universities are concentrated, to participate in economic construction work in our northern Shaanxi Soviet region.

Third, land reform should be completed as soon as possible.

Land reform is our party's fundamental policy for establishing oneself and life, and we should distribute the surplus land of the landlords to the peasants as soon as possible, so that we can not only further mobilize and stimulate the labor enthusiasm of the people in the Soviet areas, but also win the heartfelt support of the people.

On this basis, we should also vigorously build water conservancy facilities and irrigation systems, guide the people to bring forth the new through the old, actively improve farming techniques, cultivate fine agricultural varieties, and increase grain output.

Fourth, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Actively mobilize the officers and men of all units of the Red Army to do their own work, set up farm farms and breeding farms, actively open up wasteland and farm land when there is no task of combat training, raise pigs, raise sheep, raise chickens and ducks, and achieve self-sufficiency in the supply of grain, vegetables, and meat, so as to reduce the pressure on the people in the Soviet areas and improve the living standards of the officers and men.

Fifth, vigorously develop industrial construction, actively set up small and medium-sized enterprises and mining plants, and make rational use of local mineral resources.

As far as we know, there are a large number of mineral resources in Shenmu and the northwest region of Shanxi, and there is even oil in the Yanchang area, and we should immediately organize geological exploration experts to find these mining areas, develop the mineral resources, and build our industry.

Sixth, vigorously win over the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army in order to break the economic blockade of Chang Kaishen of the Kuomintang Party.

For these local warlords, we can treat them with sincerity and inducement them, and reach an economic close agreement with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to strengthen the trade and commodity circulation between the three parties.

Seventh, actively open up international lines and win the assistance of the big brother of the Soviet Union.

Our party is still far from reaching maturity, and in order to develop, the assistance of the big brother of the Soviet Union is indispensable.

In addition, we can also send people to get in touch with overseas Chinese and try to get their financial assistance. We can even send party members with overseas connections to do business in the magic capital, Hong Kong, or European and American countries, so as to expand the influence of our party and our army overseas.

Commander-in-chief, there is only so much I can think of at the moment, and I ask you to criticize and correct it. ”

After Zhang Cheng put forward these opinions on the development of production and economic construction in the present and future generations, in addition to the commander-in-chief who had already understood Zhang Cheng, Deputy Commander Zhou, Zhang Luofu and other comrades were all shocked, and they never expected that Zhang Cheng would have such profound attainments in production and economic construction in addition to fighting wars, and they were immediately shocked and admired Zhang Cheng.
