It is no wonder that Gu Yuankai would say this, and after several hours of conversation, Yan Shao immediately appointed Zhan Tianyou as the deputy director of the Ministry of Communications and the chief engineer of the Anhui Railway Project, specifically to manage the construction of the Anhui Railway. At the same time, Yan Shao also allocated 500,000 yuan as an advance fund for Zhan Tianyou's investigation of the terrain.

Zhan Tianyou shook his head. "What I fancy is not an official position, nor is it the high salary he offers, I just came to Anhui to build a few more railways for the country."

has been by Zhan Tianyou's side for many years, Gu Yuankai was already calloused in his ears when he heard these words, and now when he heard that Zhan Tianyou actually started again, Gu Yuankai waved his hand a little impatiently. "Yes, yes, for the country and the people, not for financial resources, I know all of this, you better rest early, and tomorrow we will set off to Xiangshan..."

Looking at Gu Yuankai's impatient appearance, although he had been angry with this student for many years, Zhan Tianyou still didn't feel angry. "Since you don't like to hear it, go back to your own house quickly..."

Listening to Zhan Tianyou drive himself away, Gu Yuankai said with a hippie smile. "In that case, I'll go first..."

"Get out of here."

Gu Yuankai wasn't angry, he just waved his hand at Zhan Tianyou and flashed back to the room that Yan Shao arranged for him.

After Gu Yuankai disappeared from front of him, Zhan Tianyou took a deep breath.

"It seems that I really didn't come to the wrong place this time..."After speaking, Zhan Tianyou also raised his legs, thinking about the grand plan that Yan Shao told him just now, Zhan Tianyou once again felt that he was not wrong.

————————————————————

From a certain point of view, Zhan Tianyou's temperament was still very anxious, so the next day, just after dawn, he set off for Xiangshan with a few guards arranged for him by Gu Yuankai and Yan Shao.

The other side. After sending Zhan Tianyou and the others out of the Governor's Mansion, Yan Shao also went back to discuss another important matter with Li Liang and them.

"ID card, household registration and reserve system...", Yan Shao explained. The ID card is also a document that proves the identity of the holder, and it is also an effective tool that can increase the efficiency of government administration. ”

"The household registration system is a legal system that collects, confirms, and registers basic information about citizens' population, such as births, deaths, kinship, and legal addresses. In order to protect the rights and interests of citizens in employment, education, social welfare, etc., and to take the population management as the individual. ”

"As for the reserve system, it can also be said to be reserve military mobilization, which is a system that organizes and manages manpower and material resources with potential military capabilities, and quickly mobilizes and invests in wartime, such as manpower with military skills (people who have served in the army, people with expertise, adult men and women who have been trained, etc.)."

All this is to prepare for a large-scale military war in the future, after all, in the event of a large-scale military conflict. Yan Shao needed the ability to mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time. Therefore, the implementation of the reserve has become something that Yan Shao must do, but the most important thing for the implementation of the reserve is to have the cooperation of the grassroots, so Yan Shao proposed two systems: ID card and household registration.

These two systems allow the junta to have a high degree of control over ordinary people. When a large-scale conflict does break out and requires the mobilization of a large number of people, it can be carried out more quickly.

Li Liang did not object to Yan Shao's opinions. Because they don't have any reason to oppose it. Whether it's a reserve, a household register, and an ID card. These are very real problems.

"But if you do this, I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to do it..."Frowning slightly, Zong Wu raised a very practical question, in fact, as the Minister of Civil Affairs of the military government, this matter is also within his duties. Moreover, the military government now only controls Anhui in name, and does not have substantive control over many prefectures and counties, so the implementation of these three items is afraid for a while..."

"I've thought of this too..."

Yan Shao naturally knows the problem here, yes. Now the junta does nominally control the whole of Anhui. However, not to mention Suzhou and other places that have not yet been recovered, even some local prefectures and counties are only nominally subordinate to the military government.

Not surprising either. After all, the military government has only been established for about 10 days, and such a small amount of time is simply not enough to send a large number of people to the localities. So now, everywhere is still basically governed by the same group of bureaucrats.

In some cases, the local bureaucracy even disobeyed the orders of the military government, such as the series of tax exemptions, many of which could not be implemented at the local level. Yan Shao and Li Liang are very clear about this, but because the current military government's forces are in the north and south directions, they can't draw enough strength at all, if it weren't for this, Yan Shao would have attacked these guys a long time ago.

"Let's take our time and start with a few cities that we already have de facto control." After speaking, Yan Shao glanced at the map of Anhui hanging on the wall of the conference room. "In any case, as long as the local people are willing to recognize the legitimacy of the junta, then there is no reason for them to refuse the officials we sent in the past, so we can just encroach on those prefectures and counties."

"So where do we start?"

"Let's start with Wuhu and Dangtu..." After all, we have the strongest control over those two cities, and if we start there, we will face much less resistance. ”

"In addition, the required manpower can also be selected locally, as long as you can complete it by the beginning of next year..."

"Okay..."The pen carefully recorded it in the notebook, and Zong Wu closed the notebook and nodded. I'll leave for Wuhu in a moment..."

————————————————————

In a forest outside the city of Wuhu, a teenager in his teens is cutting off a small tree the size of his wrist with an axe. After tying up all the firewood with a rope, the young man carried the firewood on his back and walked out of the woods.

Jiangjia Village, where the boy lives, is not very far from the forest, about 10 minutes away.

After returning to his home, after throwing the firewood on the edge of the house, the young man was ready to go into the house to rest for a while, but at this time, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside, and it didn't take long for the young man to hear someone shouting outside the door, "Is Jiang Yumin at home?" ”

"In!" Jiang Yumin, who was about to go to bed and rest, clapped his hands. Hurriedly ran out of the house. "What's the matter?" After speaking, he saw the village chief of his village standing outside the door of the house with a few strangers. "Village Chief, why are you here?"

"That's right...", coughed lightly twice, although this one is in his 60s. But the old man who is still very strong is Dao. "This is very from the county seat, this time to come to count household registration, and identity and other issues, so all the people over the age of 14 in the village need to go to the open space, responsible for taking pictures and registering some information, just now you didn't go to the forest to chop wood, these people from the county came when you didn't happen, now the village over 14 years old people have gone to the open space. I didn't go to you alone, but just now a few of us heard that you were back, so we hurriedly ran to call you over..."

"To the clearing? Okay! He clapped his hands. patted his pants again, and slapped off all the dirt and dust on them, Jiang Yumin hurriedly said. "I'll go now..."After speaking, Jiang Yumin looked at the village chief again. But the village chief, what is an ID card..."

Dumb. Because the village chief doesn't know what this thing is. A junta official, still standing on the sidelines, replied with a smile. "It's something that can prove your identity, it will write your date of birth, name and address, and you will need to use this thing to prove your identity when you go to other places or work in factories in the future..."

nodded as if he didn't understand, Jiang Yumin's heart was still a little inexplicable, but he still followed the village chief and those people to the open space of the village.

As the village chief said, the clearing was already full of people from the village, almost every one of whom was over 14 years old. These people are lining up in columns and columns. Some have a camera in front of them, while others stand at a table. Say something to the person sitting behind the desk.

Jiangjia Village is not a big village, there are only more than 20 households in the village, and there are only more than 30 people over the age of 14. This is also an important reason why the village chief and several other people will rush to find him when they hear that Jiang Yumin is back.

"Come on, come on, you can go over there and line up...", pointing to the queue of few people left, a young man who led him over said in a harmonious voice.

Listening to the young man's words, Jiang Yumin hurriedly walked to the team.

This team is mainly responsible for taking pictures, and there are few people in front, so it didn't take Jiang Yumin's turn in a few minutes. "Come, stand up, stand up...", motioned for Jiang Yumin to stand up.

After the flash, the photographer smiled. "Okay, young man, you're lucky, this year, according to the will of the junta, all the photo fees required for identity documents will be borne by the junta, and next year, you will go to the photo studio..."

"Was it just a photo?" Jiang Yumin, who had always grown up in the village and didn't know anything, immediately felt very fresh when he heard that it was just a photo. "Uncle, when can you give me the photo?"

"Great, uncle!" However, the photographer in his early 20s seemed to be very upset, but he didn't think it was interesting to argue with a hairy kid in his teens, so he quickly replied. "Probably give it a while. After a while, when the photos are developed, we will come over with the documents and photos, and then verify and distribute them..."After speaking, the cameraman said to Jiang Yumin. "Alright, you can go to another queue..."

Hearing the cameraman's words, Jiang Yumin nodded, and after saying thank you to him again, he ran to the queue on the side.

Compared to the camera queue, there are obviously a lot more people in the queue here. No way, because the person in charge of registration has to ask many questions, and some of the questions are obviously not answered by the person being asked, so sometimes the person who registers needs to ask many times, especially now this guy who is being asked, don't say when he was born, he doesn't even know what his surname is, he only knows that he wandered to Jiangjia Village from outside many years ago, and usually others call him a dog or something...

Obviously, this is a difficult guy to deal with, and the person in charge of registration had to speculate according to his face, roughly guessing his age, and then gave him the surname Gou according to his name, and filled in the name Gou Yun...

Not to mention Gou Yun, who happily celebrated his name there, about ten minutes later. It was finally Jiang Yumin's turn.

"Name...", the registrar, who was already a little tired, asked with a yawn over his hand.

"The surname is Jiang, and my name is Jiang Yumin..." And he was the only one left in the whole village, so Jiang Yumin was obviously a little timid.

However, the registrar didn't notice this, and continued without raising his head after bowing his head to write it down.

"Gender, um..." looked up at Jiang Yumin, and the registrar filled in the information by himself, and waited for it to be filled in before continuing. Age, to be exact. Do you know what year you were born? ”

"I know this..."Jiang Yumin was overjoyed and hurriedly replied. My mother said that I was born in the twentieth year of Guangxu. On the eighteenth of September..."

"September 18..."nodded. Address..."

"I live in Jiangjia Village..."

"I'm asking for your address in Jiangjia Village..."

"That's it..."Fingers rubbed his forehead, Jiang Yumin replied in a low voice. After entering the village, walk about 50 meters and turn left. Turn left again. Next to Mrs. Zhang's house is my house, well, it's the more dilapidated house..."

Jiang Yumin's parents died of an illness many years ago, and Jiang Yumin was left alone to grow up in the care of others in the village. Although he didn't starve to death, it was obviously impossible to have any spare money, so Jiang Yumin's residence had always been very dilapidated...

Hearing Jiang Yumin say this, although the registrar was helpless, he could only write it down like this.

There is no way around it. This is the only way to describe such small villages. After all, in this era, there are many villages that can directly see the west of the village from the east of the village, and there is no layout at all. It's even more ridiculous to talk to them about their home addresses in the village.

Basically, you just need to remember which village, what the surname is, and whether the family lives in the east or west of the village.

————————————————————

After a lot of work, the registrar and others finally completed the statistics of Jiangjia Village. Seeing that these people from the county town had finished counting, the village chief, who had been hiding next to him, came over and said.

"Is it done?"

"That's it..."Nodding, the young man in the lead smiled, and then another young man drove a car out from not far away.

Although Wuhu is also a first-class prosperous place in today's China, and cars are very common, in such a remote rural place, cars or something are rare. So soon, many villagers came forward to watch, including Jiang Yumin himself.

"Probably after a while, we will come over with the photos that have been washed out and the registered documents, and complete the last step, and I hope you can cooperate more at that time..."

When they said this, the young people also had a bit of a headache, because they were not only responsible for Jiangjia Village, but also many other places that they also needed to go. Even though they have a car to drive, it's still a headache for them.

At the same time, hearing the young man's words, the village chief hurriedly replied. "Please rest assured, we will cooperate at that time..."

After registering their ID cards and household registration, the young man and the others quickly drove away from Jiangjia Village in a car, and then drove towards another village on the map.

After the establishment of the Yushi Group, almost all the young and middle-aged people in some rural areas around Wuhu have been absorbed by Yan Shao's Yushi Group. However, even in this way, there are still many villages around Wuhu, and there are many young people who are just the right age.

The task of the young people and others this time is to count all the people around Wuhu and Dangtu counties in a short period of time.

Wuhu and Dangtu can be said to be the foundation of Yan Shao, even when it was still the Qing court, Yan Shao in these two cities can also be said to be the same, now Yan Shao has become the governor of Anhui Province, is a veritable leader in Anhui, with such a name, Wuhu and Dangtu naturally will not have any hesitation.

After the team from Anqing arrived in Wuhu, they were quickly warmly welcomed and fully cooperated by the local people in Wuhu.

With the cooperation of the Wuhu local government, it is easier to implement the matters related to household registration.

The only thing that is more troublesome now is the photo thing, and it takes a long time to develop the photo at this time. Therefore, unless the junta's ID card does not require a photo, whether it is Yan Shao or others, they can only wait for a very long time.

And after the photographs and so on are finished, the junta people will return them to the people who deserve them. If they weren't there, unless they could come back soon, they would have to take out the photos and information, and let the local people help...

The implementation of the hukou and ID card systems has been very smooth, although the pace of implementation has been relatively slow due to the small number of people. But at least it is moving forward steadily, and at this time, Zhan Tianyou, who left from Wuhu, has also begun exploration work after arriving in Dangtu for a period of time.

Moreover, the results of the most successful exploration are very satisfactory, because Anhui is not a place with complex topography in the first place, at least in terms of topography, it is definitely not as complex as Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou. Moreover, the distance between Xiangshan and Dangtu is only more than ten kilometers, plus the gray road that has existed for a long time, Zhan Tianyou is confident that he will have time to complete the construction of the railway within a month.

In fact, it is precisely because of that gray road that Zhan Tianyou's work has become much easier.

Because many times, Zhan Tianyou only needs to follow the road, and in his plan, the railway itself is also built on the side of the road... (To be continued......)
