Yu Yanluo, who was still thinking about whether to follow Jiang Qiang's advice and change her living environment, went to study, was stunned by the words! "Jiang, Mr. Jiang, you're not joking with me, are you?" Yu Yanluo stammered and asked. "Miss Yu thinks I'm joking?" "But I'm a weak woman who doesn't understand anything, how can I be an official?" Yu Yanluo Road. "Why can't women be officials, and aren't there emperors?" Jiang Qiang said, "If a woman can be an emperor, why can't she be an official, a woman is much better than a man in some aspects, at least she is kind-hearted and careful, and she doesn't have to take advantage of the people!" "Many of us in Shanghai's Hongkou District are women's officials, and there are also many women in Myanmar, and they are better than men.

"Mr. Jiang, this, this is too sudden, I, I don't know what to say......" Yu Yanluo said at a loss. Miss Yu, being an official and being a man are the same, in fact, it is not difficult to be a good parent official, as long as you have a heart to benefit the township, it is enough, if you don't understand, you can learn, as long as you have a heart, there is no one who can't learn! Jiang Qiang said. However, I am a divorced woman, and I have no prestige, and no one is convinced. How do I do this acting county magistrate? ”

"I'm not letting you learn how to be an official, but how to do things, how to do things for the people, the officials appointed by our Shanghai Hongkou District Government are not the original kind of feudal court officials, in the past, we said that the county order of this county was the parent official. Let's talk about it. This county official is the public servant of the people, they are not in charge of the people, but for the people, do you understand what I mean? Jiang Qiang explained. In addition, we will also make arrangements for Han Fuyu in Jinan, Shandong, so you can rest assured that I will transfer 20 more people from Shanghai to be your deputy. "So how can this convince the people?"

"Huh. You haven't understood that in the past, officials relied on power to make people fearful, and everyone was afraid of the power in his hands, but we are different, we want to use our practical actions to make the people support and convinc. As long as what you do is recognized and supported by the people, your prestige will naturally come, and everyone will naturally believe in you! Jiang Qiang said, "You are a famous talented woman in Qixia County, and you are a famous family, you come to be the acting county magistrate, maybe people can't accept it for a while, but this is the biggest step to change customs, as long as you take it." If you go firmly, then everyone will agree with you, and you, the first female county magistrate of Qixia County, will go down in history! "No, no, Mr. Lu Jiang. The little woman doesn't want to be famous in the annals of history, you better don't give me such a top hat, I really can't do it! Yu Yanluo hurriedly shook her hand and said.

"You haven't tried, how do you know you can't do it. What's more, as a county magistrate, you are not working alone. You have subordinates, you have to have staff, and you're not fighting alone? "Mr. Jiang, you are a bit of a strong man's difficulty, I haven't thought about this at all, you better take back your life!" "I just want you to think about it, the county magistrate of Qixia County is really overwhelmed, and the only way to re-appoint a capable, prestigious, and young person to serve as the county magistrate, I think it is best to directly select from among the locals, and I think the most suitable person is Miss Yu!" Jiang Qiang said. "Mr. Jiang, you really think highly of Yanluo, Yanluo hasn't even cured a Yuan family, how can you talk about a county seat?"

"Miss Yu, governing the Yuan family, that's because you have been subjected to too many traditional rules, and now that you have walked out of the Yuan family and broken these rules and regulations, it is completely different, are you willing to be a woman of the old era, or a woman of the new era?" "Miss Yu, think about it, in fact, it is not difficult to be a county magistrate!" Jiang Qiang said. "Mr. Jiang, this matter is too sudden, let me think about it carefully." Yu Yanluo nodded. "Okay, I hope Miss Yu can give me an answer as soon as possible!" Jiang Qiang said, "Qin Siyu, send Miss Yu down to rest for me!" ”

"Mr. Jiang, do you really plan to let Miss Yu serve as the acting county magistrate of Qixia?" While eating, Lu Zheng asked. What, is there a problem? "No, I just think it's not hasty for you to appoint like this, besides, Miss Yu has never had experience as an official, and this county magistrate is not so easy to do!" Lu Zheng made pertinent criticism. "Yes, I've also considered these, but I think Yu Yanluo is still competent, first, she has a correct view of right and wrong, principled, although her character is a little weak, but this is all imposed on her by the past era, when she suddenly wakes up, she understands that this era is different, women are no longer an accessory to men, and her independent character will awaken, judging from the three chapters of her marriage into the Yuan family and Yuan Xiangcheng's covenant, it can be seen that she is not a woman who is willing to compromise with fate, otherwise she will remain innocent?"

"Brother Jiang's analysis makes sense, Miss Yu is a woman with a very strong heart, but she has carried too much on her body before!" Huzi agreed. "Well, I admit that Miss Yu is a woman who deserves our respect, and many of her good qualities are enough to make us old men ashamed, but the position of county magistrate is related to the well-being of the people of Quanqixia County, how can she be appointed at will?" Lu Zheng still expressed a different opinion! "It's just the acting county magistrate, try it, if it doesn't work, you can replace it, how can we have so many mature people available now, Staff Officer Lu, if you can't find a more suitable one, you can only be promoted now!" Jiang Qiang said. Also, we can't send someone directly from Shanghai to be the county magistrate. After all, this is still the territory of Han Fuyu in Shandong, and if we want to control this place, we must not let Han Fuyu send someone over to be the county magistrate, and I will transfer officers and soldiers from Shanghai to come over. This is simply too important to us in Huaxia.

"Staff Officer Lu, you can guarantee that you can choose a county magistrate from somewhere else, or find a man to serve as the county magistrate, you must do better than Miss Yu, at least Miss Yu's popularity can be said to be a household name in Huanan!" Huzi said.

"I can get Miss Yu to serve as the county magistrate, Mr. Jiang, Staff Officer Lu, Brother Hu, you may not know, Miss Yu did not marry into the Yuan family, that was a famous talented woman in our Qixia area, and she is very talented in business, the Yu family's shops, hotels and carriage shops, etc., are thriving in her hands, his eldest brother is not known how many times worse than her, this Miss Yu is eighteen years old and has not been married, the old man of the Yu family wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and Miss Yu will stay in the Yu family forever, but Miss Yu's eldest brother does not agree, If Miss Yu stays in the Yu family, the Yu family's property will definitely not be in his hands, and with his little ability, how to compete with Miss Yu, so he strongly encourages the old man to marry Miss Yu into the Yuan family! Wang Yong said.

"Then Old Man Yu doesn't know what Yuan Xiangcheng is?" I know, but the Yuan family is much stronger than the Yu family, the Yuan family is still an official family, the Yu family is just a business family that has just emerged, this social status naturally cannot be compared, the old man of the Yuan family personally came to the door to propose, the old man Yu can not give face, plus some conditions proposed by the Yuan family, the old man Yu agreed to this marriage! "Back then, this marriage caused a sensation in the entire Qixia County, and on the day of the wedding, Han Fuyu, the governor of Shandong, also sent a special congratulatory gift!" Wang Yongdao. "So, there's a story here!" Jiang Qiang said.

"That's not it, but we outsiders don't know very well, anyway, this marriage didn't go well at the beginning, Miss Yu also struggled, and tossed intermittently for more than half a year, so it was settled, but everyone said that this Miss Yu is talented and beautiful, knowledgeable, this married to Yuan Xiangcheng, it was a flower inserted in cow dung!" "On the day of marriage, the whole city was dispatched, and on the way to welcome the relatives, there were a lot of people, I heard Brother Dong say that he also had a banquet back then!" Wang Yongdao. "After Miss Yu married into the Yuan family, she took over the management rights of all the properties of the Yuan family, in the past few years, if it weren't for Miss Yu's painstaking management, the Yuan family's little property would have been ruined by Yuan Xiangcheng long ago!" "You can see this!

"The Yu family has lost Miss Yu, and it has also gone downhill in recent years, coupled with the impact of the war, the Yu family has been reduced by at least two-thirds compared to the heyday when Miss Yu got married!" "Well, that's why I didn't directly appoint her as the county magistrate, and I added a code in front of the county magistrate!" "The respect of a county has a heavy responsibility, it is better to lower it a little, and let her serve as an assistant to the county magistrate first, which is better!" "If the name is not right, it is not good, do the people agree with the county magistrate or the assistant to the county magistrate? In extraordinary times, we use extraordinary methods, and it is precisely because Miss Yu is a woman that I make an exception to reuse it, which can play an exemplary role, and our promotion of gender equality in Hongkou District, Shanghai is not just a lip service, it is really doing! Jiang Qiang said.

"But if Miss Yu is not qualified for the job of the county magistrate, you will have a reputation of unknown people?" "What do I want to do with those false names, besides, I'm not a god, it's normal to use the wrong person, saints will inevitably have unscrupulous people, I'm not even a saint!" Jiang Qiang said. But there is one thing that is too bad and not bad, but now, this is certain, we can't point fingers in Shandong now, so that our Governor Han Fuyu will have opinions, it seems that we have to support Han Fuyu's equipment for a division, "Staff Officer Lu, you don't have to say a word, Brother Jiang must have his ideas in employing people, so don't fight!" Huzi persuaded him. Tiger Brigade, I have become a staff officer, and I have the right to give reminders and suggestions to Brother Jiang for the unreasonable decisions he made, right? "Lu Zheng didn't buy it." Well, if I didn't say it, I'll eat! Huzi smiled bitterly, this scholar was stubborn, that is, nine cows couldn't pull it back!

Jiang Qiang also knew that Lu Zheng kindly reminded himself that he should not be too hasty in appointing and employing people, and don't do what he wants, this is unscientific and easy to make subjective mistakes! "Lu Zheng, you are right to criticize and remind, but I know what I am doing, although this decision is only a temporary decision of mine, but it is also after some careful consideration, not to mention whether Yu Yanluo's ability is competent for the work of the county magistrate, just with her fame and talent in Qixia, as well as the persistence in her heart, I decided to choose him!" Jiang Qiang explained seriously. And even if this place is not possible, I can't return it to Han Fuyu, look at his other counties There are still people who can't eat, what does this county magistrate want him to do? The war is about to break out, and it is impossible for the gold mines here to fall into the hands of the Japanese, I am looking for someone to be the county magistrate locally, and Han Fuyu still knows that it is not better, so it is decided, and there are reservations.

The next night, the heavy snow stopped, and after breakfast, Jiang Qiang came out with a special operations team of 15 people, and also carried a portable radio station, various combat equipment, as well as flashlights, fire crackers and other lighting equipment, as well as dry food and water, everyone carried three days' supply, but if you save a little food, four or five days is not a big problem! Fortunately, the snow did not fall overnight, otherwise it would have had a huge impact on their operation, and the snow transportation is a big trouble, and if you rely on your legs, it will consume too much physical strength. Zhaoyuan Town is based on the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine to establish, because there is a gold mine here, the number of people who come to pan for gold has gradually increased, and the miners also need to eat and live, here has formed a small town, and then slowly expanded, and now the population of Zhaoyuan Town is second only to Qixia County!

Zhaoyuan Town presents a trend of high in the east and low in the west, mining is the pillar industry of this town, this gold mine is around, what can you rely on if you don't rely on this to eat? Before the gold mine, it produced about 1,000 catties a month, after the Japanese occupied the area. Predatory mining, the monthly output has increased to 2,000 catties, that is, the current miners do twice as much work as before, but they get the same income as before! So the miners were already dissatisfied, but the miners had no weapons in their hands. The Japanese have guns in their hands. Therefore, they can only dare to be angry! But this emotion is already slowly accumulating, and I don't know when it will suddenly explode.

The Japanese also blocked the news from the miners, so many miners did not know what was going on outside. Dong Shengtang ventured into the gold mine several times, but it was the news that he brought to the outside to the workers inside that he was hunted down by the Japanese! The Japanese strictly controlled the gangs of miners. They are not allowed to speak when eating, and most of the miners are illiterate, so except for some miners that Dong Shengtang came into contact with, many miners are not aware of the earth-shaking changes that have taken place outside! The bandits co-opted by the Japanese were even more brutal than the Japanese. The Japanese used them as overseers in the gold mines, supervising and monitoring the miners to mine and produce for them, and if they were not satisfied, the whip was drawn! It can be said that working for the Japanese, the life of a miner is a thousand times more bitter than that of the previous black-hearted boss!

In addition to the Japanese and bandits, it was the Korean policemen hired by the Japanese, and almost none of the ordinary people living in Zhaoyuan Town did not hate them, and they acted as lackeys of the Japanese. Wantonly bullying and exploiting the people of the town, the means are outrageous! Torture that the bandits didn't use very much, and when they got there, it became commonplace. The three forces of Zhaoyuan Gold Mine, the Japanese are respected, and the Qingdao Army is a reinforced squadron. Nearly three hundred people, armed with light and heavy machine guns, and a mortar platoon, plus two armored combat vehicles. The second force is the police and security forces led by a North Korean named Park Jung-am. There were 150 people, most of whom were ethnic Koreans. The third group is the original mine supervisor and the bandits who have been recruited. This part of the people is more mixed, divided into several forces, the largest one is a camel dragon called camel dragon, there are more than 100 people, and then there are a few weaker ones, less than twenty or thirty people, they according to the territory divided by the Japanese, supervise and monitor the mining and production of the miners under them, and deliver a certain amount of ore and gold and gold every day, and the excess is their own income!

In order to earn more for themselves, these people desperately exploited the miners, and when the mining staff was insufficient, they also went out to rob the manpower. Every day, miners die because they can't bear such high-intensity labor, some die from overwork, and some are beaten to death because their hands and feet are slow! Han Fuqu sent the army to attack several times, all of which failed one after another, and the lack of offensive weapons was only an objective reason, the main reason was that these three forces were too familiar with the entire Zhaoyuan area, and they had a relatively complete intelligence system.

This heavy snow did make Shimizu Thirteen feel a lot more relieved, but Matsuda's disappearance and the five-step snake have not been heard, which still casts a shadow on Shimizu Thirteen's heart! In order to ensure that the news of the airport is not leaked, since Qing Shui Thirteen established this secret supply channel, he has never asked the above to carry them medicine and supplies. If the backlog of gold is not shipped out, it will be even more difficult to transport it out when the snow closes the mountain, and it will be even more difficult to transport it out, and the first thing that comes to mind is to find a place to hide the gold first, and then take it out when you come back in the future! Shimizu Thirteen summoned his cronie Ono, and under the order, Xiao Ambition understood and left happily!

Qing Shui Thirteen had received a formal military education, so he naturally knew very well that the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine would be the focus of the Shandong army in the near future. If nothing else, gold is produced here, and no country in the family will not be uninterested in gold. How long the Zhaoyuan gold mine can be mined, and how long he can stay here, this is an unknown! "Did you find out which unit of the Zhina Army captured Qixia County?" Shimizu Thirteen called the head of the intelligence section to him and asked. "Your Excellency Dazuo, not yet, there was no warning before they captured Qixia County, this team seemed to appear out of thin air!" This is absolutely impossible, Morishima-kun, are we all blind all over Qixia County? "Qing Shui's thirteen are annoyed!

"The subordinates feel that this may be related to the Russians, Matsuda-kun's whereabouts are unknown, and the county town of Qixia fell into the hands of the Zhina, then the Russians who traded with us are likely to have fallen into the hands of the Chinese, I think our supply line, which has been hidden for most of the year, has been discovered by the Zhina!" The head of the intelligence section said. "You're saying that the people of China know the secret of our supplies from them?" Qing Shui Thirteen groaned. "Yes, otherwise why did they suddenly attack Qixia County and we didn't receive any news?" "The subordinates think that the five-step snake may be ......" "No, with the ability of the five-step snake, she will not be revealed, and there will be news from her soon!" Qing Shui Thirteen said firmly. After a morning's arduous trek, Jiang Qiang and his group of fifteen people finally approached the destination they were going to, Zhaoyuan Gold Mine!
