Chapter 143: Stabilizing the Situation

Xu Bin, who was conducting military and political inspections in various places, didn't care much about what these foreigners thought, and he was very confident that the orders he left when he left were enough to support him to stabilize the situation in Gannan, which had been demolished and rebuilt. In his words to Situ Baili, it is a dog that he has not seen in these years and does not gnaw bones.

Those orders are the bones he threw out, as for this dog! Needless to say, Situ Baili also understood who he was talking about.

The things on the order were all things that he felt had to start forming in place according to Gannan's current needs and his plans for the future. Although he already has buyers in mind for some of these orders, it is undoubtedly a matter of killing several birds with one stone to let these foreigners see the orders and turn to support the work of some military governments!

Now Gannan Province seems to have become the bag of the Xu family's army, but it was caused a lot of trouble by the Gannan army after the war. Many people who felt that they had no way to live in the first place were forced to be cornered. So much so that after the reorganization of the various units, the first order issued by Xu Bin was to cooperate with the local military government to eliminate the bandits in Gannan.

For these common people and bandits who were mostly desperate and forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, Xu Bin did not kill them all. Using a combination of suppression and appeasement, a group of bandits who just wanted to survive were persuaded to go down the mountain, so that they would willingly return to their original villages and become their own people.

For those bandits who stubbornly resist to the end and do not want to repent, the newly reorganized Xu Jiajun will make them understand how cruel the fate of the Xu Jiajun will be. At least Xu Bin knows very well that he wants to say that this Longhua country is the most harmful army to fight bandits. Xu Jiajun wants to admit the second, I'm afraid no one dares to admit the first.

Among these Xu Jiajun troops stationed in various provinces, there are not only officers and soldiers who have been reorganized from bandits. There were also members of the guerrillas who were familiar with the locality. In the absence of terrain and no one and no one, the fate of these recalcitrant bandit cottages. It was annihilated by the Xu family army as a trophy.

Maybe it was because he saw that Xu Jiajun was not joking but really fighting on the issue of suppressing bandits, those cottages who were originally ready to wait and see. In one stubborn bandit cottage after another, he was besieged by Xu Jiajun dragging a large army and artillery, and this kind of encirclement and suppression method of cannon fighting mosquitoes frightened.

Those who have blood debts in their hands would rather go down the mountain and let the military government's security office sentence them to a few years of labor reform, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and this little life can be preserved to some extent. If they continue to resist stubbornly, they will end up being the merits of the officers and men of the Xu family. It was buried in a random pit. For most people, it's better to be alive than anything else!

With the troubled bandits in Gannan, after the official attack of the Xu family's army, they quickly calmed down. The people of Gannan, who have been persecuted by the Gannan army and bandits, saw that those bandit cottages that had done a lot of evil were almost appeased by the Xu family's army. The newly appointed junta personnel are also much more polite than the corrupt officials who have been skinned before.

At the same time, some taxes that were simply created out of nothing were also exempted by these newly appointed government officials, and the people's support and support for Xu Jiajun increased linearly. With a way to live, these people will not make trouble all day long. The originally chaotic situation in Gannan has also rapidly stabilized with the formation of military and political departments in these provinces.

It's just that compared with these people in Gannan Province, their good impression of Xu Jiajun is growing day by day. The landlords who stayed under the rule of Xu Jiajun were considered to have fallen into blood mold. If they are unwilling to transfer the land under their names at a low price, then Xu Jiajun deliberately set a high tax for them. It is enough for them to work for Xu Jiajun for a year.

As for what you want to say about resisting taxes and not paying them, those joint defense teams that are biased in various villages. It's enough to keep you from eating and walking. Of course, for some landlords who are aware of current affairs. After selling the land to Xu Jiajun and distributing it to the local people. In order to reward these landlords, Xu Jiajun transferred assets to business, and also formulated relatively preferential tax policies.

As a result, some landlords who cooperated with Xu Jiajun to complete the land reform in advance were after a period of business. Finding out that the income from this business was originally much stronger than they were from the ground. And as long as they take the stamp and pay taxes, the local military government officials will be very polite to them.

For a time, the exemplary role of these landlords who began to make money slowly affected those landlords who were still ready to resist to the end. They took the initiative to contact the local government departments and proposed to transfer the land under their names, which made the land reform that Xu Bin was preparing to implement in Gannan suddenly become extremely smooth.

The smooth progress of land reform has undoubtedly made these people, who are most eager to have an acre of their own land, support for Xu Jiajun increase linearly. In particular, many military government officials who supervised the land reform received the land deeds issued by the military and government, and told them the policies they would enjoy in the future and the taxes they needed to pay.

These people are like falling into a dream, kneeling and kowtowing to these staff who also have a good life for the people in the coming year, and worship Xu Bin, the young governor, to the limit.

Some ordinary families with children serving in the army have also been placed by local township security offices along with the work of reorganizing the army. An iron sign of the military family's house was specially issued and nailed to the most conspicuous place in front of the house. With this brand in the coming year, when they pay taxes, they can also pay less than ordinary people.

Invisibly, joining the army has become the most desirable industry for the children of the people of Gannan Province. Those people who have children serving in the army have also become the envy of the villagers. This made Gannan form a different atmosphere of supporting the army from other places.

The beginning of the regularization of the army and the local government undoubtedly made the inspection in Gannan feel that the smiles on the faces of these people are getting more and more day by day. Those words of praise and praise for Xu Jiajun also began to increase. The dark clouds that were originally suppressed over the heads of the people here also seemed to gradually disperse from the heads of the people with the entry of the Xu family.

This made Xu Bin, who walked down in a circle, although he also felt that his butt was cocooned, felt that the hardships during this time were worth it. This is the life of the people he wants to see, and this is the life he wants to change for the people of Longhua.

With such a stable rear, Xu Bin can let go of his hands and feet to prepare for the next big jihua. It's just that he knows very well that steady and steady is the reason why he can succeed today, and he can't mess up because he is in a hurry. What's more, the people are too miserable these days, and they must also be given some time to cultivate and recuperate.

So, in his jihua, the next one to two years. He will devote more energy to purging officials and improving people's livelihood. As for the army, it adopted the strategy of hiding troops among the people, and scattered more militias that could be compared with the regular armies of other warlords throughout the villages of Gannan.

Should it need to launch a large-scale military operation in the future, these militias, who are trained by the regular army from time to time, will be the main source of his expansion. And maintaining his current strength would be enough for him to deal with the threats from the other provinces. He also believed that as long as he kept such a low profile, those warlords would not dare to provoke him lightly. In this way, it also provided him with the most valuable time to store his strength.

Don't look at the war after this war, these warlords around them are a little unsure of Xu Bin's temper, and they are not willing to fight for an uncertain victory. All this is just a smoke bomb put by Xu Bin, with the combatable soldiers he has now, in fact, if the other party really wants to fight, he has no power to control such a large piece of territory.

Fortunately, his smoke bombs had a good effect, and the number of troops in the Gannan Army was expanded to more than 100,000 people in one go, scaring off the surrounding warlords who were originally going to come over to make some money. After stabilizing the situation, they began to reduce the number of troops to dispel the concerns of these warlords. This increase and subtraction, every step is well thought out.

In a sense, Xu Bin also feels that he has slowly changed from a simple Chinese special officer to a thick black politician and warlord. It's just that he knows very well that he, a warlord, is seeking peace and happiness for the Longhua people. It's not like other warlords, who run rampant and overbearing for their own selfish interests, always wanting to be the emperor above 10,000 people.

It is clear that the emperor is no longer reliable in this era, but there are always some people who feel that they will never forget this. This led to the warlords of each province being wary of each other, and each of them hypocritically calling each other brothers.

Xu Bin does not want to participate in the domestic political struggle, and his position in the future is that of a complete neutral. As long as others don't touch his one-third of an acre of land, he doesn't care if other warlords kill him or live.

He can even sell weapons and ammunition to these warlords for the arsenals that are now starting to be mass-produced. thought that he would build Gannan into the strategic rear of the Xu Jiajun in the future, and reserve a large granary and a large rear.

In the face of those foreigners who wander among the major warlords of Longhua, he will also act as a pure businessman. As long as the other party can provide what he needs, and everyone buys and sells fairly without other conditions, then the merchant is his friend with the country to which he belongs.

On the contrary, if he thinks that he, Xu Bin, like other warlords, will grovel to them, then these foreign merchants and the country to which they belong will not be able to make a dime cheap from him. Anyway, Xu Bin's development strategy is different from others, and he has the experience of selling drawings last time. He knew very well that he had a wealth of information beyond his time, so that he would not have to worry about making money.

As long as he can get the huge profits that these foreign businessmen and the masters behind them need. What they will do to Gan Nandao, Xu Bin can guess as long as he is not stupid.

What's more, from the current development situation of Shijie, it can be seen that the rapid development of the gross domestic product of various countries in World War I. It also fell rapidly with the end of World War I, and in order to maintain this growth in national power, trade is undoubtedly the most conceivable way for countries to do so without war. As a big country in the East, Longhua is undoubtedly the base camp for their dumping of goods. Who will ask for whom in the future, Xu Bin will be clear if he thinks about it carefully!
