Chapter 61: Li Mingyi
Liu Ying stopped after beating the police. Although the form of Wuchang was still chaotic, with the election of Li Yuanhong as the governor of Hubei, the Xinhai Revolution showed signs of victory. Liu Ying was close at hand but did not reinforce Wuchang, and there was a suspicion of supporting the army and respecting himself. So Li Yuanhong sent someone to question Liu Ying.
Liu Ying still did not get rid of the strange circle of history and divided his troops into two ways. Liu Tie took a regiment to reinforce Hankou, and Liu Ying led a regiment to co-compile with An Xiang Yunjing and Ji Yulin's department. In order to dispel suspicion, Liu Ying handed over the regiment to Liu Jie as the head of the regiment, and he himself served as the director of the Military Affairs Department of the Marsh Division.
However, the revolutionary army soon conquered Zaoyang and Xiangyang and entered Henan.
Only in reality, the entire military power of the revolutionary army fell into the hands of the Westernist warlords. Li Mingyi was furious, resigned and returned to Qianjiang, and not long after he went to Shanghai alone, he was going to find Sun Yat-sen. Before leaving, Li Mingyi went back to Xinmin Town and Da Lijiawan.
Zhang Chun and Lizhi received him.
Li Mingyi looked at the renovated streets and busy construction sites, and said for a long time: "Lord Zhang, am I really wrong?" What if the revolution was victorious after losing military power. I still couldn't stop what Master Zhang feared. β
Zhang Chun smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter, the revolution always needs a process, which may be part of the process." β
Li Mingyi sighed: "But I don't think Master Zhang can succeed, Yunlong Town, with my help." But if you continue, you will face the whole world, and you will go against the whole world? β
Zhang Chun shook his head: "Isn't this the truth, the warlord landlord is the person of the world?" Are there more poor people or are there more of them? β
Li Mingyi pointed to the people who were working and said, "These people, your power is great, and they listen to you." But when others are powerful, they will listen to others. If Director Liu wields his army to take you down, they will shed a few tears for you at most. β
Zhang Chun closed his mouth because there was no point in answering this question. The position occupied by Li Mingyi's ass determines that it is impossible for him to believe the ignorant "mud legs" in his eyes.
Li Mingyi also knew that there would be no results in discussing such a topic. He sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm going south, I'm going to find hope." Maybe in a few years, I'll come back to you. After all, it's a fellow countryman, who has helped you so much, and you have to give face when the time comes. β
Zhang Chun hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, you should stay by Liu Ying's side, no matter who it is, it will be good for you." β
Li Mingyi glanced at Zhang Chun, and saw that Zhang Chun was sincere, so he did not refute it. just snorted: "If the vertical son does not conspire, how can he look forward and backward if he wants revolution." β
Due to the constant chaos in Tianmen, there were not many people who dared to come to Xinmin Town and Tugboat Port to make trouble, but several villages in Baima Town were repeatedly harassed at the instigation of the squires who had been driven out of town.
Chen Jizu finally opened the road from Yanmen to Baima, but he couldn't withdraw the fairy, because the situation in Baima was not optimistic. So he took some of the young adults who built the road and the militia led by Zhang Linyue to form a militia company. Chen Jizu is the company commander, Zhang Linyue is still a little afraid of the big brother Chen Jizu, although Chen Jizu always does things silently and rarely comes out to say anything.
Xu Zhenpeng distributed the captured Hanyang manufacturing to various villages, and the more sophisticated ones were distributed to the militia company. Wang Renbin's mine guard team was also issued guns and gave them two cannons and dozens of shells.
After Chen Jizu and Zhang Linyue wiped out the chaotic soldiers who were wandering several times, Baima finally settled down. The mine guard team also repelled Zhong Xiang's defeated and retreating rout, and more than 100 people captured were all sent to the fairy coal and iron mine to do hard labor.
After several migrations, the population of the fairy reached more than 8,000 people, most of whom were former lake bandits and mountain people. Because of the need to support Xinmin Town and Baima Town, in addition to the smelter, foundry and machinery factory under construction, there are no basic migrant facilities, and even schools have not been built, and the children are studying in Yanmen Primary School.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Chun has no available people, and the cadre training class and students have all been dispatched. The rest of the first-year junior high school students must have completed the basics. They are also too young, and they can't bear to say anything when they are released at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Zhang Linyue is a talent who was released too early and delayed.
In Xinmin Town, the land was divided among tenants and hired farmers. The wealthy families with many acres of land could not hire long-term workers to replace their own farming. Even if they hire workers, because Zhang Chun's life at the construction site is excellent and the cost of living is high, he is still building new houses for these families, except for the faΓ§ade houses that do not have a street front, and the specifications are similar to those of the rich families. How could the rich give such treatment to their employees? It's not a hired worker, it's a grandfather.
These wealthy families stopped employing long-term or short-term laborers, went to the fields to pick cotton, and helped each other to cultivate wheat. This person is not forced to that part, he is really forced to that part, and the ladies who are bound can also carry the doll to the ground.
Fortunately, they were originally born as farmers, and even if they were scholars, they were also cultivators and scholars, and they could work by themselves. The neighborhood behind Xinmin Primary School is named Xinmin Community, and the town office has a street management office, all of which are students who live in tents on the construction site of the town office. These students took over the construction work, and they had to participate in the whole process of repairing the toilets and sewer drains in each house. They called it the "Sanitation for All Campaign" and they designed a flush toilet that could store water to flush the urinal. Including Xinmin Primary School is also undergoing such renovations.
With these transformations underway. The power generation of the generator sets of the sewage treatment station is gradually increasing. Electricity can already be supplied to primary schools, and schools have electricity, which has increased evening self-study. Even at night, the sound of children reading can be heard.
Of course, more importantly, water began to be pumped from the high water tower on the edge of the South River, supplying the entire town with running water. The residents finally understood that the iron pipes that were transported from Hankou and were so expensive that they gave Mr. Zhang a toothache were water pipes.
As the amount of sewage increased, the previously dry treatment tanks of the sewage treatment plant began to fill with sewage. The students who work in the processing plant are not only working, but also writing and drawing with small notebooks. In the laboratories of the treatment plant, more and more students from the Faculty of Agriculture are coming. A lot of strange instruments and equipment have been moved in.
Unbeknownst to them, this was a research team doing pre-research on the power generation unit of the Green Lake Research Institute.
In December, from Da Lijiawan to Xinmin Town, the cotton pulled out of the cotton field and piled up together was finally picked, and the wheat was planted, and the growth was not bad. Just after the fields were allocated, the farmers' own houses had not yet been built, and there were no digesters and no compost. It cannot be compared with the growth of crops at Yanmen Gate and Nanzhang Street, and it is even more different from the experimental field of the Agricultural College.
Factories have been built one after another, and workers are putting the finishing touches on the town halls. Many of the hired workers went home to participate in the construction of the village. However, in Xinmin Town, only one-third of the long streets have houses. The rest are still empty.
Winter ploughing is over. Under the leadership of the village chief, the village farmers repaired roads, built public toilets and biogas digesters.
As the situation stabilized, Chen Zhongfu, who was already known as the county magistrate, came directly from Baima to the Agricultural College, and was taken aback by the "luxury" of the Agricultural College. Zhang Chun took Chen Zhongfu around the academic hall of various disciplines in the College of Agriculture. Mostly in speech papers. The students were quiet and serious, with no sign of being disturbed by the war.
Chen Zhongfu was a little shocked, although he knew that Zhang Chun had changed Meng Xuetang into an agricultural college, but he didn't expect it to develop to this extent. Even foreign teachers have it, and there are a variety of instruments in the laboratory, which is not at all understandable by Chen Zhongfu, a traditional lifter.
Zhang Chun rejected Chen Zhongfu's suggestion that Zhang Chun should be appointed as deputy county magistrate, saying that it was enough to be the dean of the agricultural college, and asked Chen Zhongfu to help him go to the governor's mansion for the record.
