Chapter 153 Rural Economy

The "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association" has a clear division of labor.

Qian Xinlin was in charge of the 5th Infantry Division and the resettlement site in Tay Ninh Province, Zhang Yinggui was in charge of Saigon as a member of the first National Assembly, Gui Qingshan was in charge of intelligence, and Han Shuo was in charge of North Vietnamese intelligence and embankment security. Mr. Zhang Muxiang, an Indonesian overseas Chinese leader, is responsible for the work of overseas Chinese in Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.

Li Guanyun directly became a core member without inspection, taking advantage of his father as chairman of the industrial investment company and the status of overseas Chinese leaders on the embankment, responsible for the work of Chinese businessmen in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and was elected as the honorary chairman of the "Southeast Asian Chinese Entrepreneurs Federation" some time ago.

As a veteran of the research society, Gu Changgeng will naturally not be idle, in charge of 13 resettlement villages in the south and the Zhensha resettlement site with the worst conditions, with heavier tasks and greater pressure.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, it is necessary to learn about the pre-holiday preparations of various villages, the recruitment of new recruits for the Fifth Infantry Division, the resettlement of retired veterans, the development of the rural economy in the coming year, and the building of self-defense forces in various villages.

He started from Zhensha village to village to the south, and Li Weimin went east and south from Phu Quoc Island, and the two met as if they had made an appointment at the southernmost village of Jinou Settlement.

Like several industrial villages, resettlement villages are larger than ordinary villages and have larger populations than ordinary villages.

This village, which can be called the "end of the earth", has a total of more than 18,600 villagers, covering an area equivalent to three townships. Inaccessible, difficult and sparsely populated, it has been an area controlled by Vietminh guerrillas for the past eight years. It was not a strategic location, and there were not so many people to develop and mobilize, so after the signing of the Geneva Agreement, the Vietminh decisively gave up, and all those who should have been evacuated were withdrawn. Law and order is okay.

After visiting the newly built incubator, cement shipyard, brickyard and wood processing factory. The two of them took a small wooden boat to the fishery production team by the sea. Xia Liping, the village head, pointed to the busy people in front of him and introduced: "Mr. Li, Mr. Gu, this is our fishing shipyard, the masters are all invited from the embankment, and the trees cannot be cut down to build ships directly, and now the main preparation is wood." ”

Boats made of cement and barbed wire could only be used for inland waterway shipping, and it was too dangerous to go out to sea to fish, so all the fishing boats were towed when they were withdrawn from Mong Cai South. Fishermen still use their old boats.

Li Weimin looked around and said with a smile: "Two, at this time the year before last, we said that after withdrawing, we must 'survive and develop'. Now that the problem of survival is basically solved, we cannot rest on our laurels, and we must put development on the agenda. ”

With the help of the U.S. government, the international community, the South Vietnamese government, and the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association", nearly 20,000 villagers have not only overcome the difficulties of being uprooted from their homes, but have also truly gained a firm foothold.

More than a dozen production teams have built more than 3,000 brick and tile, stilted wooden buildings or zinc-iron houses, eliminating the need to live in tents. Each production team has a primary school and a clinic. There is a middle school and a hospital where surgery can be performed on the site of the village, as well as important facilities such as the village headquarters, the Self-Defense Forces, the middle school, the hospital, the incubator and the rice mill. Even the electricity provided by the wind turbine is used.

Reclaiming wasteland, growing grain and vegetables, raising pigs, ducks and chickens, going to sea to fish, logging trees, digging soil and burning bricks...... Children have books to read, adults have things to do, they are organized and planned, and many people are doing better than before the retreat to the south, and there is a thriving scene.

Before Xia Liping became the village head, he was a major officer of the Nong Nationality Corps, and he had prestige and ability, but he didn't know how to develop, and the American advisers and volunteers were all withdrawn, and he didn't know what to do next, so he said with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Li, Mr. Gu, we will do whatever you two say." ”

"Lao Xia, you are now the village chief, not the battalion commander. While ensuring the safety of the whole village, we should lead the villagers to live a better life. In other words, it is necessary to take the initiative and find a way out. ”

Isn't this embarrassing for others, Gu Changgeng said with a smile: "The three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, and in the words of the Viet Minh, we must give full play to our collective wisdom, and have time to organize talented craftsmen to hold a symposium to brainstorm and find ways to build up the rural economy." ”

Xia Liping scratched his head and said with a smile: "We want to set up a fishing company like Phu Quoc, buy a big boat and go to sea to fish, but we don't have so much money and can't do it." ”

It's better to have an idea than not to have an idea, even if it's not a good idea.

Li Weimin said with a smile: "Development should be adapted to local conditions, and we can't just look at how people make money." The reason why Phu Quoc Fishery Company can do it has three advantages: first, it is relatively safe over there, and the rich people are over there, so it has a financial advantage; Second, the island is being developed, and there is a consumer market of nearly 200,000 people, no matter how much fish is caught, it can be sold, and even if it can't be digested, it can be sold to Dishi Industrial Village or for deep processing.

Third, the infrastructure is relatively perfect, large ships can dock at the port, faults can be repaired in time, there is a stable power supply, and there are talents in ship and machinery maintenance. And there is nothing on the side of the golden gull, where is it to buy a big ship and come back and moor, what should I do if it breaks down? ”

Boliao Industrial Village is the closest, hundreds of kilometers away from here, not to mention that there is no money and no boat, even if you buy it back, you can catch fish and sell it to? The villagers have just eaten a full meal, but they are reluctant to eat big fish and meat every day.

Looking at his depressed look, Li Weimin continued: "Many people may think about how good it was to be placed near Phu Quoc Island, Di Thi, and Ha Tien at that time, and they will feel that it is too aggrieved and unfair to be placed in this place where birds don't and even the Viet Minh is too lazy to harass. But we have more than 300,000 people, and there are only so many places we can go, if you don't come, who will come if I don't come?

We must do a good job in this ideological work, and we must make it clear to the villagers that although those places are better, they are more dangerous, and although we are a little remote and have poor conditions in all aspects, they are relatively safe. ”

Mr. Li has already done a lot for the big guys, Xia Liping didn't want people to misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "No, no one thinks so, everyone is only grateful." ”

"If you don't suffer from poverty but suffer from inequality, no one thinks about it now, it doesn't mean that no one thinks about it in the future."

Li Weimin smiled and continued: "So we must develop the economy, after the Spring Festival, the 'rural economic task force' will hold a training course, the village head, deputy village head, and production team leader should take turns to participate in the training, the content is mainly divided into three parts, one is to learn rural management and how to develop the rural economy, the other is to visit the industrial villages, and the company bosses in the industrial villages have a symposium, learn from the advanced experience of others, and then go abroad to open their eyes. ”

Xia Liping asked in surprise: "Do you want to go abroad?" ”

"Lao Xia, although you are called the village chief, you are actually similar to the town mayor. As the population continues to increase, the area under its jurisdiction continues to expand, and it will not take a few years to become an 'uncrowned county magistrate'. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, how can you open your eyes if you don't learn? ”

The so-called Nong Autonomous Village is not only Nong, but also from the southward to the present, there have been many Chinese displaced throughout Vietnam, and the dozens of people who were resettled the day before yesterday are even from Myanmar, and it is said that there will be compatriots from the Philippines in the future.

Xia Liping reacted and said excitedly: "Okay, everything is up to you." ”

Li Weimin patted his arm and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu came here with condolences, and I can't say anything about it empty-handed." The hatchery is doing well, the villagers are enthusiastic, it seems that the scale of chicken and duck breeding can be developed after the year, and the eggs and duck eggs and chicken meat are marketable, and the chicken feathers and duck feathers are handed over to me, and I will arrange for someone to come over to help the village open a down factory. ”

"The down factory, not to make feather dusters?"

"For winter clothing, it's tucked inside the clothes like cotton. We have no spring, summer, autumn and winter, only rainy season and dry season, but other countries have four distinct seasons, and chicken feathers and duck feathers can be processed into down jackets or duvets for export to Europe and the United States. ”

The feed factory in Dishi Industrial Village provides animal feed, the incubator is made by using the low-interest loan provided by the Bank of East Asia, the rural economic task force specially invited experts and veterinarians to guide breeding, and the boss of Boliao Industrial Village promised to underwrite eggs and duck eggs, chicken manure and duck manure can be used as fertilizer, and now even chicken and duck feathers can be used.

On the way back to the village, Gu Changgeng suddenly asked, "Mr. Li, did you get Pan Guangtan to Phu Quoc Island?" ”

"Hong Shan's father, you can't ignore it."

"Pan Quang Dan has been opposed to the government for a long time, will Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Ngai have any ideas?"

"Not sure?"

"This matter is too sensitive, not only me, but also Lao Qian."

Li Weimin smiled casually: "It's not as serious as you think, Wu Tingyan and Wu Tingyan really hate Pan Guangdan very much, and they want to kill him quickly, but they can only think about it." Because of the arrest, Saigon has fallen out, and Collins has put pressure on the Independence Palace more than once to release the people.

It is difficult for Ngo Dinh Diem to ride a tiger and not let go, and the United States has opinions; release, the government will lose its prestige. It can be said that Pan Guang has become a hot potato. I got people to Phu Quoc, and he couldn't see it, and the U.S. Embassy was able to explain and help them solve a problem, and everyone was happy. ”

Gu Changgeng suddenly found that this was indeed the truth, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Help them solve the trouble, will those opposition turn the finger at you?" ”

"Those people are not stupid, they should know that my house arrest of Pan Guangtan is not a kind of protection."

"Would you like to let the wind go?"

"No, this kind of thing can only be understood, not spoken. By the way, Ngo Dinh Diem also wants to persuade Pan Quang Dan through those of us who are doing the right thing, so that he can support the government and stop causing trouble for the government. ”

It is not an easy task to cut off with Wu Tingyan, protect a few more opposition now, and there will be fewer people who oppose the industrial investment company in the future, Gu Changgeng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing: "If there is one and there are two, if a similar situation occurs again in the future, you can put a few more people under house arrest and help them solve some more trouble." ”

Li Weimin smiled tacitly: "That's what I think, multiple friends and multiple roads." ”
