Appropriate policies, appropriate introductions, vigorous assistance, a good social environment, and most importantly, a vast, almost blank market have made the establishment of factories a trend. From larger cities such as Chengdu, Chongqing, and Changsha to county towns and towns, factories of all sizes have sprung up from the ground, and the ubiquitous chimneys make conservative people shake their heads and scold, but they can't stop people's pursuit of a better life.

In Shenjiayu Village, north of Suzhou, farmer Shen Hongjian dragged his tired body back home, his mother-in-law had been sick for several days, lying in bed and unable to move, and the work in the field could only be done by himself, so tired that he had to live to death, and he had to take care of his wife and two ignorant children when he came back, and there was no ready-made food to eat.

Looking at his sick wife, Shen Hongjian couldn't help but curse in a low voice, turned around and went out to find the two children who were playing wildly outside. His wife Ma Fengying actually didn't fall asleep, and she felt very uncomfortable when she heard the man's scolding, and she couldn't wait to die. She had been approached by Langzhong for her illness, but there was no way for her, and she couldn't get better after eating herbs for several days, and this kind of thing is the biggest tragedy in the countryside. One person fell ill, and the whole family suffered.

"Little bunny, what are you crazy about outside all day?" found two children, Shen Hongjian started fighting, and the two children were beaten by their worried father.

A middle-aged man quickly rushed over and pulled Shen Hongjian away, this is Shen Honghai, the village head of Shen Jiayu Village, Shen Honghai is known as a prestige in the village, he is also literate, and he is also a small landlord, Shen Hongjian is his tenant, and he still respects the landlord Shen Hongjian.

"Hong Jian, what are you doing beating the child, are you beating like this, what should I do if it is broken!" Shen Hongjian squatted on the ground without squeaking, listening to the lesson of the landlord, he actually cried, and gradually the crying became louder and louder, and the villagers around him also gathered around.

"What's the matter, Hong Jian, why are you crying?" Shen Honghai asked.

"Master, don't you know? Hong Jianjia was sick, lying in bed for several days and didn't get up, I'm afraid it won't work. A warm-hearted person said for Shen Hongjian.

"Really, I'm not in the village these days, I'm busy running a factory, what's the matter, Hong Jian, see a doctor when you're sick, cry hard, don't be like a girl!"

"Master, it's a sad day!" Hong Jian was still crying, choked up and said to Shen Honghai.

"What's so sad! Didn't the rent in the land be reduced for you, less than 30%, if the family is still in difficulty, I will lend it to you, not counting the interest, what? Shen Honghai's words made Shen Hongjian raise his head, isn't there a lack of money at home, if you borrow a loan shark, don't think about paying it back from now on, you have to sell your children and daughters, this kind of thing is too common, so Shen Hongjian cried.

Shen Honghai is not a good person, and he didn't do much about usury at the beginning, which of the landlords didn't do this? However, since the revolution, there have been fewer and fewer people doing this kind of thing, the government has not allowed it, and there have been many landlords who have dealt with it.

"It's true, sir, you really don't want interest?" The people around were surprised, when should the landlord who eats people and does not spit out bones be vegetarian, is there some conspiracy?

"It just so happens that my lord, I'm here to announce something, Shen Hongjian, listen carefully, it's good for you! In our village, including all places in Suzhou, we are not allowed to issue usury loans. Also, sir, I will go to the town seed station tomorrow to receive high-yield rice seeds, do you understand high-yield rice seeds, that kind of thing can make 900 catties of rice per acre, and then worry about food and clothing? This is the kindness of the revolutionary government and the kindness of the great prime minister, Mr. Lu Liang, and I remember it! In addition, my lord, I opened a garment factory in the town, and if there is an idle laborer at home, you can go there to work, and you will have a salary of 15 yuan every month, and you can take care of food and housing! In addition, there are also people recruited at the road construction site near the town, and the salary is not low, and those who are willing to sell coolies can go there to work. The construction site for repairing the canal is also recruiting, so many places, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money? ”

Shen Honghai's words made everyone commotion, and when everyone calmed down a little, Shen Honghai continued: "Hong Jian, a new infirmary has been opened in the town, foreign doctors and foreign medicines, Xing Xu can cure your wife's illness, come to me to get some money, and take her to see a doctor tomorrow, know no, the borrowed money will be deducted from there when the rent is collected!" ”

The crowd dispersed, Shen Honghai's words changed many families in the village, and everyone knew that the revolutionary government was no longer the head of the Manchu court, maybe life would be a little better?

"Wife, our family is saved!" Shen Hongjian led the two children home and shouted to his wife on the sickbed, only to find that she was struggling to hang a hemp rope on the beam.

Finally came back in time, there was no tragedy, and when Master Hong Hai said this, Ma Fengying also felt hopeful, and she actually ate a lot of things at night. The next day, Shen Honghai really did not break his promise, and asked the family mule to carry Ma Fengying to the town to see a doctor. When I inquired about the town, the infirmary was in the center of the town, and when I looked over, there were dozens of people lined up, all of them were nearby villagers.

It was Ma Fengying's turn at ten o'clock in the morning, and the doctor checked it, and the stethoscope was placed on his wife's chest, Hong Jian saw that other patients saw it like this, and he was embarrassed to stop it. It wasn't until Ma Fengying's face was flushed that the young doctor took back the stethoscope, inquired about the condition again, prescribed some medicine, and instructed how to eat, how many days to eat, and when to come back for a recheck.

The suspicious couple returned home, took the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, slept and felt much better the next day, they were able to cook in the field on the third day, and they could work in the field on the fourth day! Since then, the couple has said that the people in the infirmary are living bodhisattvas, and the master of Hong Hai is a great good person. There was not much work in the field, and after receiving high-yield rice seeds, Hong Jian went to work at the construction site of the road, and came back to work in the field during the busy farming season. When a few acres of land are harvested, it is really as high as Master Hong Hai said, and the taste is very good, coupled with the reduction of land rent and the wages on the construction site, this family is slowly moving towards the road of well-off!

Not only their own family, but also the whole village has undergone obvious changes, and the poor people are working and farming, and some are raising livestock, and their brains are going out to do business. The village had money, and the matter of raising funds to build roads was also collectively approved. The government gave a part, the village took a part, the Hong Haijia took a part, and a cement road to the town was repaired. The significance of this road is not only about the ease of transportation, but also about the road to a new life.

Ma Fengying's disease was actually schistosomiasis, which is widespread in all areas south of the Yangtze River and infects more than 100 million people. It is not an exaggeration to say that the countryside in many areas has been barren and families have been ruined because of this disease. The revolutionary government made schistosomiasis a priority, and the first step was to set up infirmaries in the towns to treat the sick people. The second step is to carry out a sanitation campaign in rural areas, focusing on the treatment of manure, manure, stinky ponds, garbage heaps, etc., to promote hygienic living habits, and to emphasize the relationship between hygiene and schistosomiasis. The third step is to eliminate vectors of schistosomiasis, such as snails.

After treatment, the infection rate of schistosomiasis has been effectively controlled, but this is a long-term work, and farmers who grow rice in rice fields can easily become infelt, and the prevention and control work will not stop until the disease is eradicated.

Through the control of schistosomiasis, the New Rural Movement has been popularized, and the situation in the rural areas has been greatly improved by economic development, health promotion, the establishment of primary schools, and universal education. The rural area is currently the most critical administrative unit, and more than 90 percent of the population lives in the rural area, and the change here means the change of the country.

In order to achieve strategic goals, Lv Liang will focus on some key projects, such as shipbuilding, steel, automobiles, chemicals, military industry, etc., but the nature of these industries is destined to be high and low. The key is to rely on the power of the private sector to promote the process of industrialization.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of capital needed to accumulate in the initial stages of capitalism, in addition to the silver stored in the cellars of the landlords' houses, the gold and silver provided by the submarine mining vehicles, and the wealth salvaged from the sunken ships on the seabed. The abundant capital allowed Lu Liang to let go of industrialization and accelerate the pace of development. In addition, it has an abundant labor force that is the envy of the world, and the national character of the Chinese makes them the best workers after receiving certain training, hard-working, disciplined, and low-cost.
