Accompanied by Qin Yang, the commander of the liberation camp, Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiezhu, and others inspected the situation in the liberation camp.

On the afternoon of the victory of Taipei's autumn hunt, Qian Shuiting rushed to Taipei with Wei Qianfang to take over civil affairs.

As soon as he arrived in Taipei, Qian Shuiting immediately seized all the public assets in the suburbs of Sanyi, as well as all the personal assets of Huang Longan, the boss of Sanyi, on the charge of communicating with Han Jian.

The crossing team did not take a fancy to the Yamen of Monga County, nor did they refuse the kind invitation of Lin Youzao in the suburbs of Dadaocheng, and did not set the Taipei County Office in Dadaocheng.

In the future, Greater Taipei will be a vast area from Monga to Dadaocheng, from the right bank of the Tamsui River to the left bank of the Keelung River. Now this area is still desolate, Qian Shuiting and Wei Qianfang set the location of the Taipei County Office in the temporary military camp of the Qing army south of Dadaocheng. In the barracks enclosed by ditches and fences, all the miscellaneous things such as the camp tents of the Qing army were emptied, and more than ten standard wooden houses stood in an orderly manner, and there was a large grass hall next to the wooden houses, which was the meeting room and restaurant of the county office.

The amount of construction work in Greater Taipei is particularly huge. Now Lin Dejia's infrastructure engineering corps is very busy, with more than 1,000 people responsible for the construction of ports and wharves in Keelung, Huwei and Da'an; More than 1,000 people are responsible for bridge construction in Taipei and Miaoli; There are also more than 1,000 people responsible for opening the Shiqiuling Tunnel, and the rest are busy building the Keelung Industrial Zone. The infrastructure corps can only mobilize a part of the mechanical force to support the construction of Taipei.

The task of building Greater Taipei is now mainly under the overall responsibility of Wei Qianfang and Qin Yang. The liberation camp is the main force in the construction of Taipei, and the construction of the embankment of the Taipei River, urban construction, and the construction of industrial zones are all tasks of the liberation fighters.

Wei Qianfang is the soon-to-be-appointed magistrate of Taipei County. He is 33 years old this year, a native of Shenzhen, a former senior planner, who has been engaged in real estate development, urban planning, business planning and other work for a long time, is a strong nationalist, and is also a rather sleek person.

The work of the liberation camp was very effective, the thinking of the liberation fighters changed very quickly, and the work was very positive, and Qian Shuiting always wanted to come and visit. However, he has to be busy with political affairs every day and receive and comfort the local people, so he can only take time to inspect the liberation camp this evening.

All the liberation squadrons of the Shezidao Liberation Battalion are conducting political education. Seeing the impassioned appearance of Xiao Wulang and the others, Qian Shuiting was amazed, "These RIs themselves are making such rapid progress!" ”

Wang Tiezhu patted Qin Yang with a smile, "This is because their teacher's level is high. ”

Qin Yang used to be the battalion commander of the Dunan Island Male Cadet Training Camp, responsible for training male Xing recruited from Riben and other places.

"They really believe in the revival of China." Qin Yang shook his head and said very seriously, "Xiao Wulang was originally a bankrupt and poor man in RI, and he went to Dunan Island in desperation. In our place, Xiao Wulang lived an earth-shaking life, they worked and studied very hard, and the revival of China seemed to have become a kind of belief for them. ”

"This little devil has a tendon, and if he uses it well, he is his right-hand man." Qian Shuiting turned his head and asked Wang Tiezhu, "Do we think about it, and strive to introduce a group of middle- and upper-class RI people to cultivate a leading party." ”

"That's a must!" Wang Tiehammer's tone was very resolute.

Eliminating the Japanese and bulldozing Dongying is the deepest wish of all TG soldiers, and Wang Tiezhu, as a senior soldier, will naturally be no exception.

After a round of inspection, Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiehammer and others walked out of the liberation camp and walked onto the embankment on the river bank that had just been built.

Three days ago, Wei Qianfang and Qin Yang began to command the soldiers of the liberation battalion to carry out construction on both sides of the river bank on Shezi Island at the same time, and now they have built nearly 10 kilometers of stone embankment.

In order to protect the soon-to-be-developed Taipei Industrial Zone from floods from the Keelung River and Tamsui River, the industrial outlet specifically requires a solid embankment to be built on both sides of the Tamsui River and Keelung River, which flow through Taipei.

Qian Shuiting kicked the embankment, and the stone-built embankment did not move at all. "The total length of the Tamsui River and the Keelung River in Taipei is about 40 kilometers long, and you only build a stone embankment on one bank of the river, can you complete it in half a month?"

"Absolutely no problem!" Wei Qianfang was very confident, and then added to him, "It depends on whether the stones mined in Huwei can be transported in time." ”

Qin Yang also stepped on the solid embankment hard, "The captives work very hard, the panic and fear are gone, the reactionary ideas have basically been transformed, and most of them are willing to serve the revival of China." At present, the biggest problem is that a considerable number of people are homesick, miss their wives and children, and are homesick. ”

"Homesick for only a few days?" Wang Tiehammer scolded with a smile, "These guys want their wives and children, so they shouldn't join the soldiers and fight us." In the Manchu barracks, they ate the same thing as pig food, and they were beaten and trained all day long, and they were all happy. Now that I have come to us, I have eaten well, I have no scolding, and I have organized the study of cultural knowledge, and I have begun to think about my wife and children, which is too hypocritical! ”

"The mood of the liberation fighters still needs to be calm, after all, they are our new force in building Taipei." Qian Shuiting shook his head, "I think we can consider arranging family visits appropriately." ”

After coming to Taiwan, Wang Tiezhu, in terms of civil affairs, generally rarely spoke, respecting Qian Shuiting's opinions, but when it came to the issue of liberation fighters, both the army and the people, he wanted to talk about his views.

"Old Qian, your ideas are good, be merciful to these liberation fighters, and care for them appropriately, that's all right. But everything must be done according to the rules, and order should be emphasized. Since they joined the Xiangyong and came to fight us, they will inevitably have to bear the consequences of transformation after failure. ”

"Wang Sima is right!" Qian Shuiting touched his prime minister's belly, and his face was still smiling, "If they become captives who have shaved their heads, then they need to think about whether they can survive, instead of thinking about their wives and children." ”

Wang Tiehammer frowned, "Old Qian, Zeng Guofan killed prisoners and surrendered, how could we be the same as him." I think the first thing these liberation fighters should do is to reform their labor and ideology, and make arrangements after their families visit them for a month or two. ”

Far to the north, there was a series of muffled sounds, which were the opening of the mountain and the stone from the town of Huwei.

Qian Shuiting turned his head and glanced into the distance, the smile on his face remained undiminished.

Qin Yang couldn't help but speak, "I think Sima Wang is reasonable. The construction of Taipei has just begun, and the work below is still very heavy. There are more than 6,000 soldiers in the liberation camp, and there are definitely tens of thousands of family members. If these family members come to visit the team one after another, eating, drinking, and sleeping, it will inevitably affect the progress of the project. In addition, the current accommodation conditions are not available at all, and it will take at least a month for some family members to come to visit. ”

Qin Yang is a typical ordinary person, his life is very simple, he never thinks about problems excessively, and he says whatever comes to mind.

Well, Qin Yang's words are very practical, and he still doesn't think about it!

Qian Shuiting's big bear-like hand gently rubbed his fat cheeks, and he said in his heart that now the liberation camp is almost full of people, and it is impossible for the family to live in the field hospital, so he has to find a way in Dadaocheng. However, there are no inns in Dadaocheng, and the yamen of the Taipei County Office is also barren.

Wei Qianfang had been paying attention to Qian Shuiting's expression, and he hurriedly said, "I think it's not wrong to properly consider arranging family visits." We should reward and punish laziness, those who have good ideological transformation and hard work, and reward family members to visit relatives. ”

"Reward attendance and punish laziness, that's a good point!" Qian Shuiting's fat face suddenly became rounded.

"A few family members come to the camp, and it shouldn't be a big problem." Qin Yang agreed, he raised his head and looked at Qian Shuiting, "Qian Shoufu, I think the best way is to make it clear to the liberation fighters how long they will stay in the liberation camp, whether they will be paid for their daily labor, and when they will be able to go home, so that they can have hope." The construction of Taipei is a long-term task, and these liberation fighters must not be allowed to work for several years. ”

Before the autumn hunt in Taipei, the headquarters transferred Qin Yang to take charge of the management of the liberation camp and organized the prisoners to participate in Taipei's infrastructure construction. Qin Yang hurriedly took office, but no one told him how long these liberation fighters would be in the liberation camp.

"That's right!" The smile on Qian Shuiting's face froze, and he thought for a while, "The command headquarters has made a deduction, and with the construction of Taiwan in full swing, Lin Dejia's engineering corps needs to be expanded to tens of thousands. In my opinion, it will be a one-month period, and by the end of December, those who are willing to sign a contract and join the engineering corps can directly pay their salaries; If you want to go home, let them work for another month and a half, and give them a three-yuan allowance before the festival to let them go home. ”

Qian Shuiting presided over the financial committee to make many big moves in Europe and the United States, and the Huafu Consortium earned a large amount of profits for the team through financial operations and patent investment in Europe and the United States.

At the beginning of December, according to the decision of the Executive Committee, the crossing team began to move from a "supply system" to a "compensation system". Since the team pays the hired Taiwanese villagers a dime a day for their labor. Those hard-working soldiers of the engineering corps, those soldiers of the Yulin Army who shed blood and sweat, and those officials who served the Ming Dynasty must also be given dependent salaries. It's time to pay salaries, and the crossing cadres, who are the main body of the crossing team, are naturally no exception.

The crossing team develops two different salary distribution schemes according to the system and outside the system. Within the system, the state funds are paid, and they are paid monthly; Outside the system, wages are paid by different economic entities according to business operations, and wages are paid at the end of the month.

Both the engineering corps and the army belong to the establishment of the system, and the standard for the soldiers of the engineering corps is the same as that of the soldiers of the Yulin Army, and the monthly salary of each person is five yuan.

Qian Shuiting imagined that if a five-yuan salary was paid to liberation fighters who were willing to join the engineering regiment at the end of the month, those who wanted to go home would have to think twice about their decision.

He turned around and called out to Wang Tiehammer, "Sima Wang, what do you think?" ”

Wang Tiehammer nodded in agreement, "I have no opinion." However, the Keelung Construction Command has reached the final stage, and this matter should be issued by your cabinet. ”

Qian Shuiting thought about it, "Bai Baoxiang will come to Taiwan within three or four days, and it is more appropriate for the Executive Committee to issue a document." ”

"The new engineering regiment cannot be put together with the liberation battalion." Qin Yang suggested, "I heard that the field hospital is about to be withdrawn. The vacant space can be re-planned for the newly formed engineering corps to live in. However, at the end of the month, a large number of personnel from the liberation battalion will inevitably be transferred to the engineering corps. When the time comes, the family members will not be able to stop them from coming to the camp. ”

The emergency treatment of the wounded in the field hospital has basically ended, and now all that remains is rehabilitation. The health team plans to transfer all the minor and serious wounded to Keelung in the near future.

Wei Qianfang had been thinking about the issue of his family coming to camp just now, "There is a large open space to the east of Dadaocheng Weizi, which will be the North Gate Market of Taipei City in the future. I suggest that we can transfer 1,000 people from the liberation camp and start construction of the North Gate Market first. In just one month, many hotels, shopping malls, and restaurants can be built, so that the North Gate Market is beginning to take shape. ”

Qian Shuiting smiled and said, "Okay, this is feasible!" At the end of the month, it will be enough to entertain the families who come to the camp. ”

At this moment, the hand platform on Wang Tiehammer's body rang.

The staff officer on duty reported that the Qinglong landing craft had entered the mouth of the Tamsui River.
