Washing away the filth is not only a metaphor, but also a scene in reality.

The time for the new alliance to liberate Banda City was at the beginning of this year, and it has been nearly half a year now, and it has taken almost half a year for the new alliance to build the Klin District.

The city of Banda is much larger, with a total population of 1.2 million, but the pace of transformation of Banda is no slower than when the district was first built.

Because the creation of the Kling District is a new start, and no one has much experience, but now more than 8,000 trained cadres have been transferred from the Afroport side, and all of them have personally experienced and participated in the whole process of renovating the Afroport Port, and all the work is much more proficient.

The city's roads have been re-planned and renovated, sewerage systems have been built, roads have been hardened as much as possible under existing conditions, and buildings in low-lying areas have been demolished to relocate residents so that there is no cross-flow of sewage when the rainy season arrives......

After suppressing the gangsters entrenched in various neighborhoods and banning illegal businesses controlled by gangsters, such as pornography, gambling, drugs, and guns, it also broke the long-standing division of neighborhoods, and many measures could be implemented.

Needless to say, the re-establishment of order, including the economic, administrative, and military systems. There are also several key tasks in terms of people's livelihood, such as farmland water conservancy construction, spring plowing production, and urban environmental transformation.

People's lifestyles and living environments can directly affect their mental outlook, which is a very intuitive change that anyone can see. When the Klin District was first built, Klin meant clean, and anyone could understand it. In the past few months, a "Love Home Health Campaign" has also been launched in Banda City.

If we talk about the funds, it can be said that they come from Gambisting, from Huazhen Bank, and from the new alliance, through a series of transaction relationships. If you carefully "research", it seems that they all come from Old Man Yang, because today's Chunrong Dan is all refined by Old Man Yang himself. And Old Man Yang didn't seem to care about idle things, but he just set up a batch of Chunrong Dan under the Nine Turns Purple Gold Furnace Great Array.

The new alliance is not only investing money, it is useless to renovate this place by spending money, it mobilizes huge manpower, material resources and production capacity......

Another task was the construction of public toilets and garbage dumps, which was not a small effort, but a major project of the new coalition, which took a lot of effort and was quite drastic. It is forbidden to defecate and dump all kinds of garbage and dirt in the open place, and a sanitation department and an urban patrol team have been set up, and by the way, many people have been trained and absorbed.

All of this requires a huge investment, and for the city of Banda, it is a huge amount of money that has never been seen before.

In the jurisdiction of the new alliance, the use of kile coins is no longer used, either in Dongguo currency or as shopping vouchers issued by supply and marketing cooperatives. Shopping vouchers can buy a variety of daily necessities and common production tools, most of which are locally produced, mainly from various economic units under Huanxiang Industry.

If it weren't for the fact that the port of Afso already had a certain production capacity, the new alliance would not have been able to transform the city of Banda in such a big way, converting almost half of the city's adult population into labor, paying them, and mobilizing a large amount of supplies so that they could buy what they needed with the remuneration of their labor.

Spending money to buy things is actually just a kind of appearance, it represents the labor reserve and production results, if the production capacity can't keep up, where can you buy things?

In the hands of Hua Zhenxing, the money can import all kinds of materials and invite the Dongguo team to build various projects. However, if the daily necessities of the residents of Banda City need to be imported, the cost and cost are too high, which is equivalent to only input but not output, and the local government first needs to establish an internal circulation of the economy.

The so-called subsistence means ensuring that five million people can survive on the basis of the existing standard of living. But people can't just eat cassava every day in rags, and the new alliance is transforming the country to give people a better life.

However, the current achievement is quite remarkable, and it has laid a solid foundation for the new alliance to liberate the city of Vage and then the entire territory of the country, at least to ensure that there will be no famine during the period of comprehensive rectification after the liberation of the country.

For various reasons, the quality of the population is quite low, so the labor efficiency is also very low, and there is no way to do this for the time being, even if you want to change, it will take a fairly long process.

Nevertheless, according to Mo Shangtong's calculations, after a simple but large-scale construction of farmland and water conservancy at the beginning of the year and a new agricultural reclamation plan, by the end of this year's rainy season, the production of agricultural and sideline food in Banda alone will feed at least five million people.

There are three rivers and many tributaries in its territory, and although the climate is divided into heavy and light rainy seasons, the conditions for agriculture and animal husbandry are much better than those in the port of Africa.

Hua Zhenxing has spent a lot of effort to build a Beiluo River basin in Feisuogang, and as long as it is relatively simple construction and transformation, it can build a modern agricultural production base with a scale equivalent to ten non-Suogang agricultural reclamation areas.

The city of Banda, the northern town of the country of several miles, the stronghold of the former Guard Front, has much better basic conditions than the port of Africa, and its GDP is about five times that of the port of Africa, if calculated at the level of previous years.

Its pillar industries are agriculture and animal husbandry, handicrafts, tourism and a small amount of light industry. There are also some heavy industries, such as minerals, which are basically controlled by foreign mining capital groups. The modern power and communications industries are very weak, and they were originally controlled by the Guard Front.

The new coalition issued a report stating that the new farming plan will not affect the ecological environment and wildlife habitat. Moreover, with the output of agriculture and animal husbandry, the local people can have a guarantee of survival, and hunting for the purpose of survival can be fundamentally eliminated.

The local government has also re-designated a larger and more rational area to include it as a national park. The new area, which was originally a hunting area next to the national park, where overseas visitors could go hunting with armed local bodyguards if they purchased a hunting permit, is now part of the national park.

A large part of the New Reclamation Project was originally located in a national park and was used as a traditional camping area for tourist groups. The new coalition has been replanned to transform into a farming and pastoral area, a move that has also sparked protests from several international environmental groups.

Originally, the most suitable place in Banda City was not engaged in agricultural and animal husbandry development, also because it was profitable. A huge national park has been set aside to receive donations from foreign charities. As long as the local government sends people to maintain and protect the national park, they get money every year, so the Guard Front is happy to do the same.

In the past, during the heavy rainy season every year, many people did not work and had no work to do. At the beginning of the rainy season, the locals sprinkle seeds in the fields, similar to wild seeds, and harvest the crops when the rainy season is over. It can also be harvested again in the light rainy season, and it can be harvested again in winter, but the yield is lower, and the main crops can be harvested roughly twice a year.

For most of the rainy season, a lot of it is basically drinking, singing and dancing. A small number of people may work in factories or workshops, pan for gold in the shallows of rivers, and come back for some money to continue drinking, gambling, and smoking leaves. Thanks to the local climatic conditions, it is not cold when it rains, and as long as there is a roof at home to sleep on, it will not freeze, and if you can find food, you can survive.

The report didn't work, and the environmental aid from foreign agencies stopped, and the city of Banda lost millions of dollars in foreign exchange earnings every year, and the indirect losses to the tourism industry could be even more. The new alliance has also not changed its original intention, and has implemented the new agricultural reclamation plan as usual.

What Shi Shuangcheng came to was a Banda City, some messy but not chaotic, some busy but full of vitality.

Not straw sandals, which are not suitable for wearing straw sandals in the rainy season, but sandals made from waste tires. The outer tire is used as the sole of the shoe and the inner tube is used as the shoe, which can not only protect the sole of the foot from being punctured, but also prevent various parasitic infections.

The cadres of the new alliance had to wear shoes, which was a discipline requirement, and soon a new trend was formed. For the locals hired by the new alliance and Huanxiang Industries, shoes are distributed free of charge as part of the remuneration for their work.

This year, however, the situation is different, with many people still working during the rainy season, residents going out of their homes to participate in organized activities, and activists can also participate in various community training classes organized by the New Alliance.

The renovated city was washed clean by the rain, and there were orderly patrols walking through the streets, wearing orange or blue armbands, all wearing shoes.

Although the new alliance suppressed the gangs in various neighborhoods, many people still retained their old habits, and the city department organized special anti-corruption activities for this purpose. This was very surprising to the local indigenous people, and the law enforcement department would take care of such a thing, and even some community street workers went door-to-door to investigate......

The charr originally had ten speeches, but recently he added one. The title of this eleventh speech is "Protecting Everyone's Shoes", and this speech was not written by Shen Si, but by Charles's own play, specifically for the situation encountered in reality.

Such sandals are also sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the price is not expensive, and of course there are better shoes in the supply and marketing cooperatives. During this time, there have been many shoe snatching incidents in Banda City, and it is difficult for outsiders to imagine that sandals made from waste tires can also be robbed.

However, many locals originally had this temper, and when they saw someone wearing new shoes on their feet and not on their own feet, they directly forced the other party to take them off for themselves because of the large number of people or the murder weapon in hand.

Shi Shuangcheng was very curious and surprised when he saw this kind of gathering for the first time, and stopped in the crowd to watch for a long time. Five people were charged in public, with signs of gang remnants.

These five people were originally members of the Meat Market Gang, not the core backbone, so they were neither suppressed nor sent to the water conservancy site for labor reform, and were released after being criticized and educated.

According to Charles, if the new alliance cannot even protect the shoes worn by the masses, what can it talk about protecting the safety of people's lives and property and ensuring their rights and interests in survival and development?

When Shi Shuangcheng visited Banda City, he saw a lot of mass gatherings, and set up a simple platform and canopy in the open space, performing dramas and broadcasting Shire's speeches, and many times holding mass criticism meetings, which the locals actually liked to watch in the rain.

This kind of thing is very common in the original Banda City, and there are too many conflicts and revenge incidents between gang members, and the reasons are often because of inconspicuous trivial things, but in today's Banda City, even if it is a big case, it is on the cusp of the storm and is focused on being supervised by the new alliance.

There were many people at the criticism meeting, and the community workers also organized a group of neighbors to take the stage to expose how these people had relied on the gangster forces to do evil, and they still did not repent after accepting the reform of the new alliance.

As a result, the five formed a small gang to grab sandals in secluded places, not for their own wear, but after robbing, they saved enough to sell them on the block.

Some of the robbers reported to the joint law enforcement department, and the gang was punished. But they privately found the whistleblower they suspected, but in fact, they found the wrong one, but stabbed the other party with a knife, and finally died.

In fact, these dozens of people did not commit any major crimes, they were all caught by patrols because they defecated in the open on the street, this kind of thing was not taken care of before, but now it is forbidden.

When Shi Shuangcheng was watching from the audience, he asked casually: "Those people have committed a crime and have been caught by law enforcement agencies, just punish them directly, fine them when they should be fined, go to jail when they should go to jail, and shoot them when they should be shot, why do they want to be pulled to the stage for the masses to rally and criticize?" ”

In short, it was not only their criminal behavior today that was criticized on the spot, but also the evil of the old era, and the community cadres preached on the spot, telling people that they must resolutely crack down on the bad remnants of the old era.

These five people had already been sentenced before they were criticized by the rally, and after the rally, they were taken away and executed. Then a group of people came up, one by one, admitting their mistakes, apologizing to the public present, and saying that they must maintain the new order and be a new citizen with good behavior in the future.

When the five criminals were escorted away, and more than a dozen people came to the stage to apologize to the public, Shi Shuangcheng couldn't help but ask again: "Why don't you even let go of the girls?" It's a shame too......"

Because of the open defecation on the street, there are also several women who have been brought to the stage and criticized by the masses, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, in Shi Shuangcheng's eyes, she is not a girl! Because of this kind of thing, apologizing to so many people and being pointed out by everyone is really shameful, it is simply a humiliation.

Manman explained: "It's just to educate the masses! When everyone understands what kind of punishment they have been punished and why they have been punished, this is done to expand the impact of propaganda. This is not only legal popularization propaganda, but also policy propaganda, telling everyone that it is different now, why it is different......"

Hua Zhenxing smiled bitterly: "Among the senior executives of Huanxiang Industry, Lawyer Dong, the head of the legal department, also asked a similar question to you, and he thought that doing so was insulting. However, Kofuzi said that first of all, there must be a social consensus to form a sound personality...... Later, Mr. Dong also changed his mind. ”

Hua Zhenxing sighed and said, "Then you have to let them know first, what is shame......

He went out of his way to explain. Many people in the local area actually don't have any sense of shame, and most of the time they don't care about other people's feelings, but they have inexplicably strong self-esteem, and they claim that the other party has offended them when they are a little broken, and they are quite thick-skinned when they make mistakes, and they will not admit it if they can, but will turn their faces and accuse those who accuse them.

Based on its experience in Africa, the new alliance had to use this trick, which was to mobilize the masses to criticize and make them admit their mistakes in public and apologize to the society. Saving enough to bring a group to power on a regular basis has achieved remarkable results, and now this kind of behavior is becoming less and less.

Guang Ren obviously saw more things, and he also sighed and said: "It seems to be a very simple method, but in fact, there must be a very strong and unified executive department behind it; It seems that the simple thing is to change customs and focus on the beginning of education. ”
