Chapter 552 Harvest to your heart's content
Such mobilizations were launched in almost every county on Toban Island.
It was particularly lively in Anping City. Even the children in the youth class came to the joint to preach mobilization to the people.
The young men in the city did not need to be mobilized, so they took the initiative to find the militia captain and asked to sign up to defend the city.
In vast rural areas, there is basically a production brigade corresponding to a militia squadron, and the natural villages in the countryside are more convenient for the organization of militiamen.
In the city, the situation is more complicated. Dong Liang's plan is to imitate the sub-district offices of later generations and manage the residents in the city on the basis of neighborhoods and cities. Some residential areas attached to large factories will also use factories as management units.
Then one to several militia squadrons are established within these basic units according to the number of young and strong people.
Usually these militia squadrons are just empty shells.
Training will be held once a month, and then there will be temporary calls due to certain emergencies.
Just like now.
When the data was compiled into Dong Liang's hands, he discovered for the first time that he was able to detonate troops so quickly.
A total of more than 800 squadrons of militia were organized on Dongfan Island, with a total strength of nearly 100,000.
This feeling of quickly exploding troops is really cool.
This is probably how the hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops came.
However, Dong Liang knew very well that these militiamen were the main labor force in normal times. The Taiping Army detonated troops too quickly and destroyed local production.
This mobilization will have a significant impact on Chinese production, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Fortunately, Dong Liang purchased a large amount of grain from Su Wencan in advance this time, otherwise the food subsidies for these militiamen participating in the operation would not be paid out.
The militiamen participate in the operation without pay, but the government has to take care of the food.
Su Da and several classmates stood in a corner of the market with a loudspeaker made of iron sheets in their hands, preaching to the passing people about the brutality of the foreigners and the determination of the escort to protect the people.
There was also a wooden box for donations placed in front of them.
Zhuo Lang sat behind a small table with a writing brush. Next to him was King Shangtai. Donors can voluntarily register their names in the merit book.
They raise funds in the name of the class, and the money will be used to provide pensions to the wounded and wounded soldiers.
Zhao Guodong stood in the crowd and watched the performances of these children, which seemed very fresh.
"The Chinese belong to everyone, and everyone is the master of the Chinese. Dongfan Island is our home. If robbers come to our home, why don't we pick up the weapons we have at home and resist?"
This statement seems to be a matter of course for Su Da. The establishment of a Chinese nation common to all Chinese people is what Dong Liang has always talked about.
Zhao Guodong has not been following Dong Liang for a long time.
It still takes time to accept these seemingly outrageous views.
Dong Liang went out for inspection, and Zhao Guodong took half a day off and planned to go home to take a look.
Zhao Guodong has not been home for many days since he recommended himself to be the resident.
His main job was to record what Dong Liang did every day, who he met, and what he said.
Fortunately, Yang Yingying is still in charge of the study.
Zhao Guodong was also quite dissatisfied at first with Dong Liang leaving his widowed sister-in-law around to work.
He also threatened Dong Liang to record the matter.
Dong Liang didn't care and asked Zhao Guodong to record it.
However, Zhao Guodong gradually discovered that this Yang Yingying was indeed quite talented. He was familiar with the Classics and History in his speech, and he could also write a beautiful regular script poem, which made him ashamed.
Moreover, the study room managed by Yang Yingying is neat and orderly.
Zhao Guodong looked at it and found that at least he couldn't do it to this extent.
So he changed the "widow sister-in-law Yang Yingying" in his daily notes to "Yang Yingying", a talented girl from Tong'an.
Sometimes Dong Liang would go out or write in the study, and Yang Yingying would accompany him.
When it's over, Yang Yingying will tell Zhao Guodong what Dong Liang did.
Sometimes, she would give the manuscripts written by Dong Liang to Zhao Guodong for copying.
This made Zhao Guodong very grateful.
What he did seems to be meaningless now. But Zhao Guodong believes that people a hundred years from now will be grateful to him for doing these things today and leaving behind a lot of precious historical data.
It allows future generations of Chinese historians to understand the real Dong Liang and provides an important reference for the development of the Chinese people in the post-Dong Liang era.
Moreover, Dong Liang made it very clear that serving as a minister should not be changed to another position.
In other words, Zhao Guodong's career was over.
This is also considering that Qi Julang is by his side and knows too many things.
If you can still get promoted, then you will easily have bad thoughts.
Zhao Guodong knew that the young man on the stage was named Su Da, and he was the head of state's favorite disciple.
The young head of state was very energetic and got up every day just after midnight, when it was just dawn.
He would run along the base of the city wall in the morning with the teaching team.
After half an hour of morning jogging, I had breakfast with the soldiers.
Then he rushed to the juvenile class to give a lesson to his students.
Next, I have to attend a short-term training course for officials from the Office of the Commissioner.
He will also spend an hour in the morning to deal with official duties.
While eating lunch, we should also listen to Zhao Liewen's work report in a group.
In the afternoon, he usually goes to the workshop, and the place he goes to is different every day.
Sometimes he would go to the workshop to help solve some difficult problems.
Sometimes, he just goes to have a look. After the Chinese headquarters moved, some workshops also moved with it.
The shipyard outside Anping City is very busy now.
Dong Liang moved almost half of the Iriomote Shipyard here.
There was originally a government-run shipyard here, and Dong Liang could expand it on its basis.
Shipbuilding materials are more abundant on Toban Island, and the shipyards here are obviously stronger than those on Iriomote Island.
With so many factories coming over, Dong Liang naturally had to take care of them.
After visiting the workshop in the afternoon, Dong Liang would go back to handle the day's official duties.
Sometimes I would talk to some officials.
There is no morning court in the Chinese community, there are no special events, and there are generally no meetings.
Zhao Guodong can feel that most of the officials here are more pragmatic.
Some of them were Chinese laborers, some were Ryukyu nobles, and some were ordinary scholars. Except for the few officials who surrendered, there were very few people who came from the imperial examination.
However, their ability and efficiency in doing things are much higher than those Manchu officials who came from formal imperial examinations.
Dong Liang didn't like holding conferences, because everyone had to attend a conference, but the things discussed may not necessarily concern everyone.
This will inevitably waste some people's time.
When Dong Liang discussed matters with his subordinates, he would get straight to the point and discuss matters in a simple and efficient manner, which made it easier for Zhao Guodong to take notes.
Dong Liang usually eats dinner later because he doesn't go to bed until midnight every day.
During this time in the evening, he spent most of his time sitting at his desk writing and drawing.
At this time, Zhao Guodong is usually not present, and only Yang Yingying will accompany Dong Liang to work.
Zhao Guodong understood that young boys and girls, red sleeves add fragrance, and he, a bad old man, was a real eyesore when he was around.
But Dong Liang was really writing.
His "Letter to the Chinese Compatriots" has been completed in six volumes, containing 500,000 to 600,000 words.
Zhao Guodong has read both sides repeatedly, and many contents have broken Zhao Guodong's understanding.
It was this book that gradually changed Zhao Guodong's understanding of the world.
In the past few hundred years, the development of Neo-Confucianism has not brought obvious progress to this nation.
Instead, he spun a lie for everyone.
Everyone, including the emperor, thought that they were living in a heavenly kingdom, and that all places except the Middle Earth were barbaric and barbaric lands.
It is precisely because of this that the Chinese have become less enterprising and have fallen into a continuous cycle of internal strife.
He walked out of the crowd. He was dressed in civilian clothes and had an ordinary appearance, which made him very inconspicuous on the street.
He came to Andingfang in the northeast corner of the city, where his home is.
Zhao Guodong's home is not big, with only a small courtyard, three main rooms and two side rooms.
"Hey, Master, why are you back? Does the Heads of State no longer want you?" A thin, sharp-mouthed woman who looked very capable opened the door for him.
"What are you talking about, woman? My husband is now an official of the Chinese clan and a close official of the head of state. Who can drive me away, even the capital of the head of state can't." The woman was a little surprised. Zhao Guodong spoke with more confidence today than before.
"Just come back empty-handed. There's already a big mess at home." The woman changed the topic and raised her tone a bit.
