Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and dozens of days have passed in the blink of an eye...

For many people, dozens of days may not seem like a long time, but for this country and even this world, even a minute can happen a lot of things—————— many things can change the entire world...

In an alley in Tianjin, more than a dozen workers in neat uniforms are busy. To say that it is neat is actually only relative. In fact, after a period of work, the clothes on the clothes of these workers have become a lot dirty, but in any case, more than a dozen people are dressed in neat uniforms, a scene that is usually only seen in Tianjin by police or soldiers—————— if it was a year ago...

The work of these workers is actually quite simple, which is to replace the original brick road in the alley with a new ash road.

Since the establishment of the Guoshe government, after more than half a year of development, Tianjin has undergone great changes from the past. First of all, some of Tianjin's main roads have all been replaced with gray roads, and the new road surface and the street lights on both sides of the road have brought a new atmosphere to the city, and many new buildings in the city that have not yet been completed make people deeply feel the changes in the city.

However, in the final analysis, it has only been more than half a year since the establishment of the National Social Government. This is not enough time to reinvent the whole city, for example, although the main road has become a wide and smooth gray road, other alleys or side roads can only be taken slowly...

"Speaking of which, it seems that even the president is here today..."

Take off your orange hat. One of the workers wiped his sweat and said.

No one knew why, Yan Shao had to ask them to wear hats and vests of this color, even the police officers directing traffic on the street. But Yan Shao is the president after all, and he is the biggest in this country. Since he asked for this, others naturally didn't intend to disobey him, not to mention just changing orange clothes to construction workers, sanitation workers and traffic police, it wouldn't be a big deal, and it wouldn't have too much impact...

Hearing his companion's words, several workers who were repairing the sewers raised their heads.

At this time, the sewers built in Tianjin were different from the cement pipes that were common in China in later generations, because the budget was sufficient. So the requirement of the city government for the sewer is that you can drive a car in it, and it is also a truck...

Of course, this is only a requirement for the main roads. In the case of ordinary alleys, as long as you can let the 'raindrops' drive in them. As for the interior space, it is semicircular above and square below. Concave to be exact. Municipal sewage and waste will pass through the recesses. And people can walk on the sides of the side.

This is Yan Shao's special request, almost all the newly built sewers in the country are like this, no one knows what Yan Shao will ask for so much, just like Yan Shao has to put on orange clothes for the sanitation people and traffic police, the Ministry of Finance also has a lot of opinions on this, after all, the cost of such repairs is much higher than the normal construction method, but after the promotion of Yan Shao, this requirement was still passed.

Yan Shao also has his own considerations. Historically, mankind began to pay attention to the threat from the air after the outbreak of World War I and the bombing of the British mainland by German Zeppelins. It was also from that moment on. They only then understood that the so-called war has no rear ...

Today's China is in a completely different situation from historical China after Yan Shao crossed back, but although the possibility is not high, Yan Shao must take into account the possibility that the enemy country may carry out air strikes on China.

In the event of an air raid, it is necessary to have a place to evacuate. Generally speaking, air-raid shelters are the best evacuation facilities, followed by subways and the like. But also consider the possibility that there are no such facilities around, in which case the ubiquitous urban sewers are a great place to go...

Hearing the words of their companions, several people who were busy below raised their heads.

To be honest, the sewers in such a large city are not easy to get by, so more than a dozen people have been busy for more than a week. Fortunately, just a few days ago, the main road in the city has been paved with gray pavement, and now many people are empty, and it will not be long before this group of people will come here to help, and their work will be easier...

"That's true, I've heard from others that the president and his three fiancées, as well as the junta's dignitaries, are here, and now they seem to be on the other side of the harbor—" Raising his hat, one of them looked like a sturdy worker.

"What three fiancées," interjected a slightly skinny worker next to him.

"That's it!" Hearing him say this, another worker also smiled. "It's four..."

"That's right, that's right," the sturdy worker patted his head and laughed when he heard the two companions say this.

Although Yan Shao thought that his relationship with Kaoru Otsuki was still very secret at this time, in fact, Eleno and Katarina had already known about it, after all, this was their game. But then again, how do you think about this kind of thing, how do you think about Eleno, how do they feel awkward.

Ahem, of course, these are only known to people inside the mansion, and people from the outside world are still not very clear, but this does not prevent them from using their imagination. After all, the news about Kaoru Otsuki has been spread all over the world a few months ago, and what people are usually most curious about? Naturally, it is the gossip between men and women, if it weren't for this, the entertainment media in the future would not have become so popular, and compared with the general gossip, the gossip of those celebrities is obviously more interesting, and at this time, who else in China is more famous than Yan Shao?

However, they only know about these people's things, after all, the work of ordinary workers in this era is very hard, and they have to run for a livelihood every day. Moreover, they are illiterate in big words......... A few, even if they bought the newspaper, they couldn't understand the content on it, and they could only go to some places where they read the newspaper to listen to two sentences, so although they knew that Yan Shao was here. And they brought this woman of their own, but they didn't know exactly why they came to Tianjin...

————————————————————

Standing in the construction area, the workers chatted again. I got back to work.

That is, when these workers were busy, on the far away side of the port, countless people gathered around the wharf of the port, and many people were chatting with the people around them with great interest. Further afield, hundreds of military and political officials, diplomats and invited celebrities from the national government were talking about something from a specific seat.

It can be seen that everyone here is in a good mood, and their words are full of smiles—————— except for the Japanese, Germans, and Allied countries such as Austria-Hungary...

Meanwhile. Yan Shao was also surrounded by Li Liang, Fu Xiuming, Duan Qirui, Zhu Erdian and others, and talked about something with Sa Zhenbing, who was standing aside. Obviously, Yan Shao's mood is also very good at the moment, but I'm afraid it is much worse than Sa Zhenbing.

How to say it. If Yan Shao's mood is happy, then Sa Zhenbing added the word 'extremely' in front of being happy, and even this can't completely describe Sa Zhenbing's mood at the moment.

In fact, at this time, not only Sa Zhenbing, but also many naval officers on the dock also showed excited expressions.

"I'm finally back..."

Whispered. The eyes of one of the officers were full of anticipation ...

————————————————————

A lot can happen in a few dozen days. For example, the problem of flag people that once caused headaches for the Qing government, the Beiyang government, and the Guoshe government. After a long period of labor reform, most of the banner people have become accustomed to work, and although the remaining few die-hards are not willing to work, they dare not be lazy when they are at work out of fear of 'confinement'.

In fact, who in this world wants to work? If possible, the vast majority of people would like to be able to eat, drink and be merry without working.

If Yan Shao didn't have his own hopes, I'm afraid he would too.

The problem is that it's one thing to be reluctant to work, but you can't always let someone else pay for your life.

So if you don't want to starve to death. You can only earn the money you need to live by working, instead of waiting for someone to send you money. There is no such thing in this world.

And in addition to these flag men, there has also been great progress in the area of those female flag men.

In fact, not every female banner man's man or father was arrested for labor reform, after all, there are not many of the two or three hundred thousand banner people in the capital, who are qualified to receive the flag salary. There are many female bannermen who have a very difficult family background, and they only did not go to the factory to work because of various concerns, but since many bannermen have been arrested and sent to their husbands for reform, and the wives or daughters of those bannermen have to work in the factory in order to maintain the family's business, with these people as role models, the remaining female bannermen can be regarded as letting go.

In the past month or two, hundreds of flag men have come to the door almost every day in search of work. This is a good thing, because it represents the independence of the banner people, but this incident also gave Ileno and Lu Ying a headache for a while, because counting the Han female workers who had to be recruited, this time Eleno and they recruited more than 50,000 people...

This number is far more than expected, originally Yushi Group's plan is two cotton textile factories with 80,000 spindles per year, and later because they need to help the banner people solve their livelihoods, so two cotton textile factories have been added, and the cotton textile factories in the plan have also reached four 320,000, but each factory needs at least 10,000 people, four seems to be a little insufficient...

In the end, when there was no other way, Elaline had no choice but to change the plan and add two more to the plan, so that the problem was barely solved.

But in any case, it's always a good thing to solve the Bannerman's upgrade, or at least it can be regarded as a big solution to the problem.

And this incident seems to have produced some chain reactions that even Yan Shao and others did not expect, such as the Zongshe Party led by Pu Wei, Shanqi and Tie Liang and others, who advocated the restoration of the Qing Dynasty...

————————————————————

For the people of the Zongshe Party, the reason why they wanted to restore the Qing dynasty was of course one reason for their loyalty and nostalgia for the Qing family, but the other reason was the fear of the Han people.

In the past, the Manchus have always overpowered the Han people, and everyone knows this. But since the recovery, the situation of the banner people has deteriorated, especially in the period when they were just recovered. The massacre of the Manchus by the revolutionary army in Xi'an and other cities made many Manchus wary and fearful of the Han Chinese, because they did not know what the Han would do to them in the future.

To this end, they cooperated with the Japanese, hoping to gain support from the Japanese, and eventually achieve the goal of re-establishing the Qing dynasty in Manchuria.

Later, the announcement of the abolition of the 'preferential treatment regulations for the Qing Dynasty', the expulsion of Pu Yi from the Forbidden City, and the arrest of a large number of banner men seemed to confirm their concerns.

But what happened later came as a bit of a surprise to them...

Let's not mention those banner men who are still being reformed through labor. Under the leadership of the national government and the cooperation of the Yushi Group (in fact, it is a completely different thing), a large number of banner women went to the cotton textile factory belonging to the Yushi Group to receive a three-month training.

Here they will learn how to operate the latest textile machines. And how to minimize accidents—————— in fact, one or two months of training is enough, and the reason why it will be extended to three months is entirely because the cotton textile mill that started construction in the Beijing-Tianjin area at this time has not yet been completed.

Although it has been overtime, it has even reached the point of 24 hours a day. But after all, the time was still too rushed. These are the four cotton mills that were decided to start construction at the beginning. I'm afraid the time of the latter two will be slower.

However, due to political reasons, the group signed a two-year contract with the women, although it was still a training period. According to the contract, they will receive a minimum daily wage of 2 dimes a day for two years from the time they train in the factory, and the salary can be increased as they become more proficient and perform well.

At the same time, in order to alleviate the concerns of female workers. The group has also built a number of kindergartens and primary schools near the factory to help them take care of their children...

Although these measures have just begun. But the changes are real. With a daily wage of 2 dimes a day, the banner people in the city basically don't have to worry about their livelihood, and a small number of the banner people who are undergoing labor reform outside the city have begun to take the initiative to ask to join the work, and this number has become more and more...

If this trend continues, it may not be a few years before the Banner People will be able to completely move away from the word 'waste'...

————————————————————

Although Pu Wei and Shanqi are all princes and nobles among the banner people, they know very well what the banner people below are. Because of this, they want to keep the 'Qing House Preferential Treatment Regulations', after all, if this regulation is canceled, I don't know how many banner people in Lu Dao will starve to death...

Now, however, it seems that the Nationalist government is much more clever than they are.

Instead of teaching a man to fish, it is better to teach him to fish...

Pu Wei chose the former, while Yan Shao chose the latter.

Obviously, Yan Shao's choice is much stronger than Pu Wei's, and at the same time, it can also be seen from Yan Shao's choice that he does not have too much discriminatory attitude towards the banner people, which also makes many banner people in the Zongshe Party shake.

If Yan Shao is extremely hostile to them, then it is natural for them to choose restoration, after all, in this case, they must have a country of their own. A few days ago, Yan Shao's arrest of a large number of flag men also made them think that they were right, but now it seems...

Are they going to continue to do so?

Not to mention them, even the leaders of the Zongshe Party, Pu Wei, Shanqi and others were shaken.

The current Zongshe Party, with the exception of a few hardcore restorationists, is almost all wavering. But this is also a good thing, after all, if the problem of the flag man can be solved, then Yan Shao can have a lot less worries—————— although Yan Shao has never felt that the problem of the flag man is so troublesome.

————————————————————

In addition to the problem of the flag people, there have also been some achievements in other aspects, such as the 'Seventh Five-Year Project' that once caused a sensation in the world.

After such a long period of time, all 75 projects have been launched. In addition to the time-consuming projects such as iron works, most of them have already been raised, especially projects such as coal mines and iron mines, which have now begun to be partially put into production...

But as the projects began, a number of other issues arose.

Let's say the traffic problem...

Needless to say, there is no need to say how bad China's transportation is, even if it is a coastal city or a city along the river, such as the steel plant, machinery factory and arsenal in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, and some projects in Xinjiang and other places, these places do not even have railways, and even if the project is successful, how to transport things out is a headache.

At present, Yan Shao has handed over this matter to Zhan Tianyou, and the government's investment in the railway has reached 50 million yuan per year. Considering the government's financial revenue at this time, this is already a very high investment, but even so, the 50 million yuan is only enough to repair 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers—————— the cost of the railway mainly depends on the road conditions, basically from 20,000 to 50,000 per kilometer, if the road conditions are very difficult, even 100,000 is not impossible.

However, in this matter, Yan Shao seems to have no choice but to believe Zhan Tianyou... (To be continued......)
