After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's telegram appointing He Guoguang as the mayor of Chongqing, Zhuang Jihua knew that he had made a mistake, a very serious mistake, he overestimated Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him, Li Zhilong was vetoed He was not unexpected, but he really couldn't find a more suitable candidate, Zeng Guangqing may be suitable, but Chengdu also needs him, he understands that Sichuan is the most suitable to preside over the provincial party headquarters and act as a liaison between the central government and the Sichuan forces. Du Yuming and Hong Junqi are actually soldiers, Tang Zong and Teng Jie did not enter his sight at all, Tang Zong is an agent, Teng Jie is a fanatical believer in fascism, and he has a great vigilance against them in his heart. However, it was really unexpected to parachute He Guoguang, who thought that Chiang Kai-shek could let him serve as the mayor of Chongqing even if he did not accept Li Zhilong, but now...

"There are still too few talents," Zhuang Jihua silently looked out the window and sighed heavily. On the field, Du Yuming was training soldiers according to the new training program, which Zhuang Jihua sorted out with reference to the German army's training program and combined with the actual situation in China, and the squad and platoon tactics were summed up together with Xue Yue.

"Cultural Revolution, you are finally out of the customs," Li Zhilong came in with a smile, holding a telegram in his hand: "Liu Xiang called to ask you to go to Chengdu to discuss the aftermath." ”

The takeover of Yucheng is still only a formality, Zhuang Jihua only let Tang Zong take over the police station with a few people, and none of the others in the political axe agency have moved, and they are still all Liu Xiang's people. Then he threw all the affairs of the development team to Li Zhilong, and the army to Du Yuming, and let Teng Jie be responsible for coordinating the organization, and Hong Junqi supervised at various construction sites, and then he became the shopkeeper, and wandered around various industries in Yucheng all day long, going to the Bank Association today, going to the Tongyuan Bureau tomorrow, and wandering around the base for more than 20 days the day after tomorrow, and then he locked himself at home to write things, which was called retreat, but as soon as Pu got out of the customs, he was hit by Chiang Kai-shek.

Zhuang Jihua didn't answer, only handed the telegram in his hand to Li Zhilong, Li Zhilong took the telegram and glanced at it, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and the telegram was still on the table: "If it's not right, it's not a big deal, you shouldn't have recommended me in the first place, you should have recommended yourself." ”

Before the original recommendation, Zhuang Jihua had discussed with him, Li Zhilong thought that he was not suitable, and Zhuang Jihua should be the mayor of Yucheng by himself, but Zhuang Jihua thought that there were many affairs for the development of the southwest, and the jurisdiction had exceeded the scope of Yucheng, and if he served as the mayor of Yucheng, he would be trapped.

"Zaitian, this appointment has another meaning," Zhuang Jihua sighed, "The principal is guarding against us, he doesn't trust me as much as you think." I am afraid that He Guoguang's position has another purpose. ”

Li Zhilong thought about it for a while and understood that this other purpose may be monitoring, after all, Zhuang Jihua and him have political differences. Li Zhilong also sighed and said, "Wushan and Qianqian have entered the river, what should we do?" ”

Zhuang Jihua understood what Li Zhilong meant by what to do, what should Jiang Xianyun and Xu Xiangqian do when they attacked them.

"Take one step at a time, if they don't beat me, I won't beat him." Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "But we also have to take precautions." ”

"Preparedness, how to be prepared?" Li Zhilong asked with wide eyes.

"Two hands, Wushan they are in northern Sichuan, our defense area is in eastern Sichuan, he has two ways to contact us, one is through the western Sichuan Plain, but this will conflict with Liu Xiang and them, they don't have this strength yet, so they are most likely to take another road, through Nanba, and then through Daxian, Wanxian, Liangping, into Yucheng;" Zhuang Jihua picked up the baton and said in the sand inventory: "If it were me, I would choose this road, this area is all mountainous areas, Wushan they are good at fighting in mountainous areas, so taking this route is conducive to giving full play to their strengths, in addition, Nanchuan in Daxian County is Liu Cunhou's defense area, Liu Cunhou's department is dull and dull, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, so yes, they have the right time, place and people to take this road." ”

"The land can belong to them, and the time and the people belong to them, how can they also belong to them?" Du Yuming said as he walked, and Teng Jie followed behind.

"In winter, the mountains are cold, can the soldiers of the Sichuan army endure this hardship? As for the people," Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "Liu Cunhou's tax collection has been received from the Republic of China for 57 years, and if you want to change me, I will also rise up against him." ”

Du Yuming did not refute, but Teng Jie said hatefully: "These warlords should have been eliminated a long time ago, and we will complete the Northern Expedition that year." ”

Zhuang Jihua glanced at him, didn't speak, turned around and walked to the table, picked up the telegram on the table and handed it to Du Yuming, Du Yuming read it and handed it to Teng Jie, and then asked, "How could it be He Guoguang?" It's up to you to be the mayor. ”

"I'm not suitable, the headmaster has the headmaster's idea." Zhuang Jihua said expressionlessly.

Teng Jie didn't speak after seeing it, he was both disappointed and a little happy in his heart, since entering Sichuan, he has clearly felt Zhuang Jihua's disgust with fascism, and suppressed his actions to promote fascism in the development team, so if Zhuang Jihua serves as the mayor of Yucheng, it will be a great obstacle to the implementation of fascism in Yucheng; But this He Guoguang is not ideal, so he doesn't want to mix this topic: "Captain, since Liu Cunhou is unreliable, what should I do?" But if you want to transfer someone else, what will Liu Cunhou think? ”

Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "Junfu is right, this is the troublesome thing, if Liu Cunhou is asked to go somewhere else, will he do it?" Definitely not, so we can only take precautions, I mean let Yang Sen's first department be stationed in Wanxian and Yunyang, and let Guo Xunqi's department be stationed in Dianjiang and Liangping, these are all precautionary measures. The Red Army in northern Sichuan did not pose a great threat to us, and what really worried us was the underground organization of the Communist Party, which would be in trouble if they instigated the peasants and workers to rise up and make trouble and the society was in turmoil. ”

"Look at it, this is my plan for social reform in eastern Sichuan." Zhuang Jihua picked up the folder on the table, opened it, and pulled out a stack of documents from it and distributed it to the three of them.

Li Zhilong took it and said with a smile before he looked at it: "This is the result of your retreat for more than ten days?" Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, just nodded, and Li Zhilong saw that he looked serious, so he stopped joking and looked down carefully.

"The social reform in eastern Sichuan starts with the economy first, the financial chaos in the Yucheng area, there are more than a dozen currencies in terms of currency alone, the value of the currency is different, the circulation area is also different, the currency of the lower half of the city is not agreed, so sorting out the currency is the primary task of reforming the society of Yucheng. Secondly, the taxes in the Yucheng area are complicated, as many as 100 kinds, the people are miserable, the political axe is levied at will, in the past four levies a year, this year in preparation for war, has reached a levy in January, so the tax must be rectified, reduce taxes and people's cultivation. The third is to strengthen the organization and management of society, the strength of the country lies in the strength of the organization, Chinese society has always been scattered, especially in the countryside, the clan power in the countryside is even stronger than the political axe, so we must break this kind of clan management, in the rural areas to establish an efficient management mechanism; Fourth, the establishment of a reserve ,...。 Fifth, the development of education, a hundred years of education first...."

In the general chapter on the first page, Zhuang Jihua roughly proposed several major tasks to be completed, and then how to implement them.

"To reform finance, we must first take back the right to issue money, and set up a control bank, which alone has the right to issue money, and the amount of money to be issued is determined by the bank's reserves and the revenues of the political axe, and the other currencies are abolished within two years. ……”

"Reform taxation, divide all taxes into two types of agricultural tax and commercial tax, suspend all agricultural taxes, and divide commercial taxes into two types, the general commercial tax rate is 3%, the luxury excise tax rate is 300%, and the opium tax rate is 3000%."

"Strengthen the management methods for rural organizations, each village has a village chief and a militia captain, and the party department is responsible for establishing a Kuomintang organization in the village, and a village party branch director is appointed."

"The reserve is divided into five levels: city, county, district, township, and village, with the garrison commander serving as the commander in the city, the special agency in the county, district, and township in charge of the village, and the village militia captain serving as the village militia captain, and the militia captain being responsible for the training of the reserve soldiers in peacetime. When the farm is busy, the reserve soldiers are responsible for helping the families of the serving soldiers, and the village militia captains and the directors of the village party branches are responsible for solving the practical difficulties of the serving soldiers. ”

"To develop education, within three years all townships must have a nine-year school, all children must be enrolled in school, and those who do not send their children to school will be punished, and all the tuition and book fees of the students will be provided by the political axe, and the school construction fee will be jointly funded by the political axe and the local squire, and if one school is not enough, it will be built again until it can accommodate all the students."

"Rural economic reform, all land inventory, the full implementation of the 25th Five-Year Plan rent reduction, all land rent shall not exceed 30 percent of land income, the annual interest on rural loans shall not exceed 20 percent, and if it exceeds, it will be usury, and usury shall be strictly prohibited, and those who oppose usury will have all their income confiscated once discovered, and shall be fined 20 times, and the lender shall be imprisoned for three years."

………

Li Zhilong gasped, he looked up at Zhuang Jihua, and then at Du Yuming and Teng Jie, the expressions of these two people were different, Du Yuming frowned and pondered, Teng Jie's eyes lit up, and his face showed fanaticism.
