The battle against bandits has never been a difficult problem in the field of military operations. Many things can be solved by military means as well as political means. Siping is in such a situation at the moment. The reason why Xu Chengfeng was left to continue attending the meeting was because He Rui wanted Xu to

Chengfeng's vision should not be limited to the military field. The main reason for letting him continue to participate in the meeting is to let Xu Chengfeng understand the future economic arrangements.

"Youping, the herdsmen problem you encountered is a problem for us. We can solve it this way. We can recruit herdsmen to be managers of our feedlots. If there are herdsmen who want to use their livestock to become shareholders, that would be the best. The livestock are them.

Equity. But after becoming a shareholder, the livestock will belong to the ranch. After the livestock they bring are slaughtered, we will distribute dividends to them according to their labor."

Wu Youping thought about it and felt pessimistic, "Do the herdsmen think we are tricking them into coming here?"

"Animal husbandry always needs to be developed. If they still don't accept it after we try our best, there is only one way." He Rui said, looking at Xu Chengfeng, "Build a pasture in the Siping pastoral area and protect it from the army."

Xu Chengfeng was a little hesitant, "General Governor, our troops are not expanding fast enough. We will have to wait until the land reform is over to have so many troops."

"It takes up to 40 days for the first batch of green fodder to bear fruit. At that time, we distribute the qualified green fodder to pastures in villages and towns, and some of it is transported to pastures in pastoral areas. What I actually care about is that the pastoral areas can slaughter as few cattle and sheep as possible.

.”

After hearing this, Wu Youping thought for a moment and felt that he could use the contacts of the Chamber of Commerce, so he replied: "I will send someone to talk to the pastoral area."

He Rui turned to Lu Daoming, who was in charge of water conservancy, "Director Lu, it will be freezing cold in two months. Is there any temporary method that can solve the problem of large-scale livestock water supply in winter? There are about 100,000 animals that need clean water."

Lu Daoming thought for a while and sighed helplessly: "With such a large group of livestock, it is impossible to dig through the ice to get river water. It is easy to cause mass infectious diseases. Well water has a high safety factor, but there is no mechanical equipment in Siping, so we have to rely on manpower to dig it.

I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. But leave this problem to me and I will try my best to solve it."

After speaking, Lu Daoming couldn't help but ask: "Why does the warlord care so much about raising livestock?"

He Rui replied: "Regarding land reform, the first step is naturally to win over the grassroots from the hands of the landlords and gentry. The second step is to solve the employment problem of the people. With land, we only have the means of production. With the small peasant economy,

The current situation still cannot be said to be full employment. Providing as many employment opportunities as possible to the people of Siping is the second step of the current policy. The people's survival can depend on a few acres of land per person. If they want to have income, they must have work during the slack season.

OK."

Hearing this, Lu Daoming felt that he had a clue about what was discussed at the meeting. Since He Rui had already made an overall plan for the water conservancy project and the animal husbandry industry, Lu Daoming became interested. "Participating in the construction of water conservancy projects and animal husbandry are all provided by the governor to the farmers.

employment opportunities, right?”

He Rui nodded, "This is one of the policies that have been set. It's just that the time to Siping is too short, and things are complicated. Only now do we have the foundation to advance this time."

Although Lu Daoming traveled around during this period, he also heard a lot about He Rui. From early June to Siping, it was only September, and He Rui and others had done too much in three months.

Although Lu Daoming originally only wanted to do technical work, he couldn't help but ask at this time: "Warlord, I heard from Brother Zhao that the Warlord wants to develop industry in Siping. Please allow me to ask. To provide employment opportunities, we need to start a business.

, purchasing equipment requires a lot of money. The warlord has set up such a large stall, and the money needed every year is probably more than tax revenue. Where does the money come from? "

After hearing this, the expressions of Wu Youping, Xu Chengfeng and others became a little solemn.

Seeing that Lu Daoming could be so heart-to-heart, He Rui was really surprised and praised: "Well said. Our current government is clean and efficient, and tax revenue has increased significantly. Although there is a deficit, it is not much. We must attract people to invest."

At this point, He Rui saw that Xu Chengfeng wanted to talk. He waved his hand to Xu Chengfeng, telling the son of a big landlord to calm down.

"Domestic investment is difficult because their demand for Siping's output is limited. But the situation at home and abroad is different. The European War has been going on for a year. Japan's production and sales are still booming, and our Siping is so close to the Trans-Siberian Railway.

There are a lot of business opportunities. If you want foreign investment, you have to start with those foreign businessmen in the customs."

Lu Daoming studied in the United States and has seen the world, so he can understand this. He frowned and thought about his overseas relationships for a while, and then Lu Daoming tentatively asked, "Do you want my help, military governor?"

He Rui replied sternly: "Brother Lu's help is needed for this. We now have a good municipal administration and will soon eliminate the bandits. Now the land reform has entered a critical stage. After completion, we will start building water conservancy projects. At that time, we will invite foreign businessmen

Come to Siping for a walk and have a look at our construction site. Tell the merchants that after the reservoir is built, Siping will no longer be troubled by water shortage. The people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the food will be abundant. This is ten times a hundred times more effective than any empty talk."

Following He Rui's description and imagining the reaction of foreigners when they saw China's vibrant labor scene, Lu Daoming suddenly felt a sore nose and quickly wiped his eyes with his hands. However, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't stop the tears from flowing out. Lu Daoming

Dao Ming didn't want to be seen crying, so he stood up and walked to the window.

Lu Daoming excelled in his studies and wanted to serve the country. However, when he returned to China, he saw that the country was in such chaos, with various places vying for power. Not to mention the construction of water conservancy projects, even the water conservancy projects built during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were dilapidated and almost scrapped. He felt very sad.

I was depressed and miserable. I once wanted to go abroad again and never come back. In such a desperate mood, I accepted Zhao Tianlin's invitation to visit Siping, a small place outside the customs that I had never heard of.

At first, Lu Daoming just felt the enterprising spirit of He Rui and the sincere intention of local Wu Youping to benefit his hometown, so he decided to stay and give it a try. He didn't feel happy at all.

At this time, when I heard He Rui talk about the development and future of Siping, my original good impression suddenly turned into a strong expectation. I actually felt that He Rui might really be able to change China's destiny, so much so that I couldn't help myself.

After his emotions calmed down, Lu Daoming turned around and walked to He Rui, "If Brother He really brings people to visit, I will definitely let them see the most reasonable reservoir."

Lu Daoming had been in Siping for a while and had always called He Rui the "supervisor". But this was the first time he addressed He Rui as a brother.

He Rui stood up and stretched out his hand to Lu Daoming. Lu Daoming held He Rui's hand and felt that He Rui's palm was solid and strong.

Lu Daoming's palms were rough and strong. Holding Lu Daoming's hand, He Rui was also very happy to meet such a talent. Surveying and mapping is a hard job. It is exposed to wind and sun every day, and you have to carry heavy equipment everywhere.

.It has to be a hard-working person.

"Brother Lu, it is not luck that China has stood firm in the world for thousands of years. It is the vitality of Chinese civilization that is firm and steady. With all of us here, China will definitely have hope."
