Soldiers with spears in their hands wear flying fish suits, the workers are men and women in factories and sailors in the seafaring guilds, and the peasants with hoes look like ordinary peasants. The appearance of the people is not exquisite, but when they are painted in the same painting in the image of great unity, there is a sense of unity.

Seeing the works full of Cultural Revolution painting style, Zhao Jiaren smiled and nodded with satisfaction. The cadres with rich labor experience on the side also nodded, and Xu Yuanzhi and others, who lacked labor experience, shook their heads slightly.

Ambulancemen in Flying Fish suits are treating wounded servicemen. Soldiers in Exocet suits were turning their cannons on the ship, preparing to bombard the enemy's fortress on the riverside. A soldier in a flying fish suit is chasing the fleeing Tartars.

These paintings were displayed one by one, and those cadres who had military experience began to applaud spontaneously.

By the time the workers, peasants and soldiers united and used their huge fists to beat the miniaturized tartars under the picture to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face and a prostrate picture released, Xu Yuanzhi and other guys who had the intention of painting Chinese landscapes had already covered their faces with their hands and couldn't bear to look at it. However, most of the cadres in the conference room couldn't help but laugh happily.

Although Liu Meng was no longer engaged in combat work, he stood up with emotion and asked, "When will these paintings be printed?" ”

Chen Zhen, the director of the printing factory, was once Zhao Jiaren's personal entourage and Zhao Jiaren's distant cousin. He hurriedly got up and replied, "It takes us three days to make wire mesh." Once the screen is modified, it can be printed in large quantities. ”

"Such a good painting, be fast!" Liu Meng said expectantly.

At this time, the painting continued to be displayed outside, and a painting of male and female warriors wearing flying fish suits in a Gothic uniform style appeared in front of everyone. They were armed with spears, swords hanging from their waists, and bows and arrows behind their backs. Both men and women are tall and heroic. And in the middle of the two wrote a phrase, 'The patriots need you!' ’

"Good! Good! Good! Hu Yuelian, who attended the meeting, praised loudly. She snapped the case, "This one is good!" Print early! ”

With the approval of these people, many problems can be solved. After the meeting ended, Xu Yuanzhi couldn't help but look for Zhao Jiaren, "Zhao Zhizhou, are you too rash like this." That Li Xun was said to have been expelled from the school because he contradicted the teacher, and if you reuse him now, wouldn't it embarrass the teachers who decided to expel him. ”

"These are two different things. The school expelled Li Xun because he contradicted the teacher, and I used Li Xun because I admired his paintings. Don't get entangled in things that don't have anything to do with each other. If we have to be entangled in everything, then all of our relatives have conflicts with other people's relatives, and it is difficult for everyone to stand on the side of relatives, so everyone doesn't even speak? ”

Listening to Zhao Jiaren's tone, he was very unhappy, and Xu Yuanzhi had to explain further: "I just think that Zhao Zhizhou is too kind to Li Xun. ”

"You should know why we have to draw a signature when asking for a confession." Zhao Jiaren's voice returned to his usual calm.

"Hmm. Because of three lives. "Xu Yuanzhi had heard the story of Zhao Jiaren when they were clearing out the Pu family spies.

"This kid reminds me of the kid who committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam in front of the school. They all have talents, and they are all willing to give full play to their talents. But these two children are also lacking in human sophistication. If that genius of perfume making was a skilled person, how could a classmate show his suicide note to the school officials after his death. His death also has a lot to do with his surroundings. I don't want to see that happen again this time. And I'm not giving this kid a chance, but giving him a little push at a time like this. In fact, as long as he is willing to move forward, he will not despair! ”

Although Zhao Jiaren is not compassionate and heartfelt, at least he is not unkind. Xu Yuanzhi listened quietly, initially puzzled in his heart, and then slowly listened.

Having dealt with the problem of drawing, conscription began. The Left Wing Army had 5,000 men after reorganization, of which 3,000 were naval troops. Originally, in Zhao Jiaren's imagination, after the collapse of the Lin'an court, this army would become the main force of Zhao Jiaren's suppression of Fujian. Now only this army can be brought to the battlefield. Fortunately, the army must obey orders, and Zhao Jiaren ordered 4,000 of them to fight.

At this time, it was already May of the fourth year of Xianchun, and the fleet of the Nautical Guild was fully loaded. Zhao Jiaren recruited 1,000 men from the fleet and transferred 4,000 men from Haizhou. The Japanese mercenary Juban team, which already had a size of 600 people, also brought it with them. More than 300 technical soldiers were brought out of the cadre school, barely enough for 10,000 people.

The overall training and rectification of the army was carried out in Jiaxing Prefecture, because the inland river fleet could not take the sea route from Fuzhou, so it had to use the local shipyard in Jiaxing to build it. The troops were transported to the Jiaxing Plain area for training, which was also closer to the geographical situation in the Xiangyang area.

Before leaving, Zhao Jiaren took out the list of problematic investors submitted by the Navigation Guild. Several of the names on this are cadres in the Haizhou area. Even Xu Yuanzhi could see the strange amount of gunpowder, how could Zhao Jiaren be unaware of this. However, Zhao Jiaren did not make a public announcement about this matter, and completely listed it as a system construction issue from the point of view.

At this time, HNA will also find that several families in Haizhou who have full access to gunpowder have abnormal investment, listing their family background, income status, and the location of family members, and many problems will be revealed.

In the name of training personnel, intelligence officers were dispatched to Haizhou to investigate and inquire into accounts, and then some guys who were very likely to have grasped the situation but did not dare to talk nonsense were transferred back to Fuzhou for individual questioning. With a multi-pronged approach, a gunpowder theft syndicate surfaced.

Looking at the list, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but sigh, and two thoughts came to his mind at the same time. The first one is naturally because these people feel that it is not worth it, if they can endure their greed and continue to do their best, the income in a year or two will not be comparable to the theft and sale of gunpowder. Another thought is that I think that the people of the Great Song Dynasty have a really strong ability to adapt to the market economy, and they can find a way to have a higher rate of return so quickly.

You must know that even in New China, the money obtained by the big-ticket embezzlers is used for consumption, or they are so frightened that they dare not use the money at all. These people seem to have chosen to steal and sell gunpowder in order to be able to invest. This is quite an investment philosophy.

Of course, the fate of these people is not to become capitalists. Zhao Jiaren has decided to make them pay for their lives, but after all, human lives are involved, and this matter still needs to be discussed at the cadre meeting. In Zhao's original plan, this matter was not difficult to solve. Now it has to be postponed.

Let's wait until the battle is over. Zhao Jiaren now finally understands that he had many misunderstandings before. One of them was why he didn't act immediately after knowing about the embezzlers, when Zhao Jiaren felt that someone must be protecting the criminals. If Zhao Jiaren killed corrupt criminals before the war, many people probably wouldn't think that those people were corrupt, or that it was too heavy. In short, it affects the morale of the military.

Even if the power is in ......, no, it is precisely because of the power in the hands that the judgment of interests is often different from ordinary people.
