Qinghai Xining Ma Bufang Apartment

Ma Bufang held a teacup in his hand, his smooth bald head was shining in the light, and he said approvingly to Ma Zhanying, the commander of the third cavalry regiment who was standing straight in front of him: "Zhanying, the girl you sent last night is good, the chairman is happy, and there is a lot of reward, the land in Qianchuan belongs to you." ”

"Thank you, Chairman Ma, I am grateful!" Ma Zhanying was overjoyed when she heard this. The fertile land in Qianchuan was originally the ancestral land of a merchant, but some time ago because he offended Ma Bufang, he was destroyed by Ma Bufang for an excuse. That piece of land has naturally become ownerless, and Ma Zhanying has coveted the more than 100 acres of fertile land in Qianchuan for a long time.

But how can you please Ma Bufang? In fact, this problem is not a problem at all for the people around Ma Bufang.

Ma Bufang is the most cruel and ferocious in the northwest group of horses, and is known as the "Emperor of the Soil", who is shameless and shameless, and is also rare in the upper echelons of the Kuomintang. He once said publicly: "Those who gave birth to me, and those who gave birth to me are all destroyed." "The wives and daughters of his subordinates, the sisters, nieces, brothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law of his own family could not escape his clutches and be annihilated by him. Even his granddaughter was forcibly annihilated by him and gave birth to a son. In order to hide people's eyes, Ma Bufang killed the baby with his own hands. In later generations, some people counted that Ma Bufang had destroyed silver in his life, including Han, Hui, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, Kazakh (Sak), Sa (La) and other female surnames, no less than 5,000 people.

Ma Bufang paused and asked, "There's nothing wrong with that girl." ”

Ma Zhanying patted his chest and said: "No problem, she has been investigated, she is just the wife of a passing businessman in Chahar, we are not robbing his goods, we just borrowed his woman to play, and I will return it to him in two days, anyway, it can't be bad, chairman, do you say yes?" ”

"Hahaha Zhanying, you're getting better at talking." Ma Bufang laughed proudly, it is indeed not a big deal to play with a woman in his heart.

Alluvial plains along the Yellow River in Ningxia Province and Inner Mongolia. It is composed of the Yinchuan Plain (also known as the Xitao Plain) east of Helan Mountain, the Houtao Plain and the Tumut River Plain (also known as the Qiantao Plain) south of Daqing Mountain in Inner Mongolia, covering an area of about 25,000 square kilometers. It is a subsidence area between the Ordos Plateau and Helan Mountain, Wolf Mountain and Daqing Mountain, with an altitude of about 1,000 meters. The terrain is flat, the soil quality is good, there is the advantage of the Yellow River irrigation, and it is an important agricultural area in Ningxia and Mongolia. It is known as the saying that "the Yellow River is harmful, but only one set of riches". The Hetao Plain in the narrow sense only refers to the Houtao Plain, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers.

Ever since Su Tong was in charge of Chahar, there has been a problem that has always plagued him, and that is food. Chahar has never been a grain-producing province, and although Su Tong has been pushing for farms and widespread mechanized farming, the problem of food still plagues him. Even if he used the money earned by the Watch Company to buy a large amount of grain from the United States, it was only a stopgap measure, not a long-term solution.

To this end, before he went to Siberia, he sent Li Daxia, director of the Chahar Department of Agriculture, to Ningxia to preside over a project called the 'Great Development of the Hetao'.

Today, more than a dozen trucks drove from the direction of Helan Mountain, and after they reached a small hill, they stopped, and dozens of people got out of the cars one after another. Among them, old and young, men and women, one of whom was about fifty years old and wore glasses, and he was the most conspicuous of the group.

At this time, a young man in his twenties who still had a hint of bookishness on his face came to the old man, only to see him wipe the sweat on his head with his hands, and asked with a trace of fatigue: "Professor Huo, is this the Hetao Plain?" ”

The professor, surnamed Huo, nodded, and said with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Yes, this is the Hetao Plain, and it is the traditional Houtao Plain. The land here is fertile and flat, and if it is developed, it will be the big granary of our Chahar and Ningxia provinces! ”

At this time, the girl who thought that she still had childishness on her face asked suspiciously: "Professor Huo, you have told us many times during class that this place is rich, but why don't the authorities develop this place?" ”

Professor Huo sighed softly and did not speak, and then a young man next to him said angrily: "Hmph, this is not the evil created by Ma Hongkui, when he was in power, someone suggested that the Hetao Plain should be developed, but he said such a sentence: 'The grain grown in Ningxia is enough for the people of Ningxia to eat, what is the use of planting more, if you want money, you still have to rely on guns.' Listen, what kind of this is. ”

Professor Huo shook his head at this time and said: "Ning Yu, don't be so biased in your words, the more than 200,000 acres of 'Yunting Canal' built by Ma Hongkui still benefited the people of Ningxia. It's just a pity that this person's vision is still too narrow, and he only sees this one-third of an acre of land under his rule, but he has not considered the food shortage in the northwest. ”

"Brother Ning Yu!" At this time, the young man from before spoke: "Now Chairman Su has put forward the 'Hetao Large-scale Development' project, and we want to turn it into a big granary in our northwest provinces, and this plan is a good news for the people of our northwest provinces." ”

"Easier said than done!" The young man named Ning Yu shook his head, "It will take at least three to five years to implement this plan, and the funds required are astronomical. At present, most of Chahar's funds are invested in the railways of the two provinces, and last year alone, there were 30 million oceans. But our fiscal income in Chahar last year was only 40 million, and we don't know how much we will invest this year? ”

"It's up to man!" Hearing this, Professor Huo couldn't help but say, "Besides, Director Li, who is now the director of the Ningxia Provincial Department of Agriculture, is also very supportive of our work. He just gave us a fund of 30,000 oceans for the Agricultural College to support our research and investigation, and we will have to teach the report when we go back. ”

"Yes, we also want to show the world that our Chahar University is not a vegetarian." A few girls on the side also helped cheer on the side.

"You guys!" Professor Huo's face showed a doting smile, these boys are still competing with Yanjing and Tsinghua University, which are famous Chinese universities. However, since ancient times, literati have been despised by each other, and this is also a matter of no choice, and this is not necessarily a good thing.

"Alright." Professor Huo clapped his hands and said, "Let's start collecting soil samples and testing moisture data, and let's get to work." ”

Under the leadership of the professor, everyone began to work in full swing

At this time, in a two-story building in Yinchuan City, the capital of Ningxia, Li Daxia, the newly appointed director of Ningxia's Department of Agriculture and vice chairman of Ningxia Province, was discussing the matter of the 'Hetao Large-scale Development' with Xi Hanqian, Secretary General of the newly arrived chief steward of Ningxia, Mongolia, and Chacha Provinces.

"Vice Chairman Li, I won't say anything superfluous, when can this 'Hetao large-scale development' begin, you can give my brother a happy word." Xi Hanqian's mood at this time was obviously not very good.

Li Daxia shook his head, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his obviously emaciated face: "Secretary General Xi, time is too tight, and now the farm tools, seeds, and machinery and other materials are not ready, what do you want me to develop?" ”

Xi Hanqian said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about the matter of materials, Chairman Su has just sent a telegram, he has asked someone to buy seeds and farm tools in the United States, and the 502 Tractor Factory will send 50 high-power joint multi-purpose tractors within a week." Your task now is to settle the more than 300,000 newly relocated immigrants within a month, so that they cannot be starved or cold, and let them have a place to live and food, can you do that? ”

Li Daxia's eyes were still flashing bloodshot, and he glared at Xi Hanqian and said, "Secretary Xi, I still need food, a lot of food." 300,000 people consume at least 300,000 catties of grain every day, and that month will require 4,500 tons of grain. ”

Xi Hanqian shook his head: "Now the grain we buy from the United States and China is mainly going to Siberia and Chahar, and there is no extra grain for you. Only six thousand tons can be given to you temporarily, but you have to support it for two months, can you do it? ”

Li Daxia gritted his teeth and said, "Six thousand tons is six thousand tons, I will think of a way to survive these two months." ”

"Yes!" Xi Hanqian nodded appreciatively: "Vice Chairman Li, you must know that now our main energy is on the Siberian battlefield, and if Siberia cannot hold on, our defense line will collapse for thousands of miles." When the time comes, let alone recovering the lost territory, I am afraid that even Mongolia and even Chahar will not be able to keep it. Don't look at the scenery we are now, but in fact it is full of dangers, he Soviet Russians can afford to lose, they lose a big deal to retreat to the west of Lake Baikal, but if we lose, we will even lose our old capital, so now all the materials must be prioritized to support the front line, do you understand? ”

"Alas!" Li Daxia sighed: "Why don't I understand, don't look at me as a civilian, but I also know that now almost all the elites of our Chahar are concentrated in Siberia, once there is a loss, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Xi Hanqian smiled: "It's good that you understand, as long as you can do a good job in this 'Hetao large-scale development' project, we will be self-sufficient in grain next year, and even have a surplus, you will be our hero." ”

"Hehe, as long as the first phase of the 3,000-mile project can be completed, we can breathe a sigh of relief." Li Daxia also nodded in agreement.

While the two were deliberating, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and a secretary of the secretariat hurriedly walked in, with a little panic on his slightly fat face, and some loess on his black tunic suit. As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said: "Secretary General Xi, Vice Chairman Li, a group of merchants who went to Tibet Province to buy cotton had a conflict with the people there when they passed through Qinghai and were detained by Ma Bufang. ”

"What? Ma Bufang detained our businessman? Xi Hanqian and Li Daxia looked at each other, how could this Ma Bufang have such the audacity to detain Chahar's caravan, wasn't Ma Hongkui's example before enough to make him wake up? But they forgot that there is such a thing as a cowardly saying in this world.

Li Ji'an, one of the many businessmen who specialize in trafficking cotton from Xinjiang Province to Chahar, is a middle-aged widow who has only married a beautiful daughter-in-law in her twenties. Li Ji'an is very precious to this daughter-in-law, and he even went out to do business regardless of his family's opposition and took it with him.

He was really reluctant to part with his daughter-in-law when he did this, and secondly, he also had the intention of showing off to others.

But he had an accident when he showed off, and he forgot one thing when he got carried away, Qinghai is not Chahar, Xining is not Zhangjiakou, this is the world of Ma Jiajun.

When they passed through Xining from Xinjiang Province and stopped to rest temporarily, Li Ji'an happened to go out to run errands, but his beautiful daughter-in-law was seen by Ma Zhanying, who was looking for a way to pat his boss's ass. Ma Zhanying, who had a headache thinking about the more than 100 acres of fertile land, immediately lit up and ordered his subordinates to snatch the beautiful little daughter-in-law away. Although Li Ji'an also has more than a dozen bodyguards with guns, who are they the opponents of Ma Zhanying, the head snake? Under the threat of hundreds of guns, they could only watch their boss lady being snatched away.

When Li Ji'an came back and heard the news, the whole person collapsed to the ground, and the next day, when Li Ji'an, who came to his senses, looked for his daughter-in-law everywhere like crazy, a well-meaning person told him that the person who snatched his daughter-in-law was Ma Zhanying, the commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, and now he had to find his beautiful wife in Chairman Ma's bed, because his daughter-in-law must have been presented by Ma Zhanying to the desolate and lustful Ma Bufang.

Li Ji'an, who was grief and indignation, took a few bodyguards to find Ma Bufang's apartment, well, the ending was pitiful, and they were beaten half to death without even entering the door. Ma Bufang, who was disturbed, was furious and ordered someone to detain Li Ji'an and the others even brought people and goods, and also ordered someone to bring a message to Li Ji'an's family, and if you want people and goods, take the money to redeem them. After receiving the news, Li Ji'an's family quickly found the Chahar political axe, and finally the Chahar political axe transmitted the news to Xi Hanqian, who was far away in Ningxia.

Xi Hanqian and Li Daxia were really shocked when they heard it at first, but after coming back to their senses, they were angry. Ma Bufang, who is next door to the spicy, now that Chairman Su is not here, you are really daring, you are bullying men and women in Qinghai, but now you are bullying our Chahar? It's against you.

Xi Hanqian, who came back to his senses, immediately ordered: "Send a telegram to Ma Bufang, ask him to release him immediately, and compensate the businessman for his losses, otherwise he will bear the consequences." ”
