Chapter 28, Section 2
The spring of 1914 was quietly coming, and the earth woke up from its sleep. The spring rain made the grass sprout quickly as if it had taken stimulants. The treetops were also covered with just sprouted leaves, and everything was repeating the scene of the year in an orderly manner. "One, two, one, one, two, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, and one," a young man, who was full of young and tender voices, was commanding a group of Young Pioneers under his command. Since the Southwest People's Government officially promulgated temporary laws on six-year voluntary transactions in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces, and the legal provisions
All men and women who settled in three provinces before June 1913 and over eight years old must receive a minimum education for senior high school graduation, otherwise their parents will bear unshirkable responsibilities and will face punishment of twenty oceans or 200 Singapore dollars. This is the case every year. Many farmers who have just solved their food and clothing are ignorant of the big words, and they also know that boys are promising to study, and there is no need for their daughters to take care of their husbands and children at home, and the three and four virtues are the foundation. Therefore, most of the people sent to school this year are boys.
The neat steps and the wooden rifle on his shoulders made the group of teenagers look like a little soldier. The children came from more than 20 nearby villages. Their children, who were originally unfamiliar, chose their heads in the shortest time. Part of the fund for the construction of this primary school was subsidy by the government, part of which was spontaneously raised by merchants in the county and town. The gradually peaceful roads were smooth, and the gradually disappeared bandits, the harsh taxes and increasingly honest officials made the local economy look like a day. Although the farmers still rented the land they used to grow, the rent was forced to be reduced to 30% by the government. At least there was still some spare money to buy some clothes for their families in the future. They could appropriately improve their food during the holidays.
Wang Erbao, a platoon leader who was in the battle of liberating Yunnan, had to bid farewell to the troops he had been fighting for due to his right hand disability, and he always left great regrets! Later, because he had studied in a private school, he was appointed to serve as the primary principal in the countryside of Shancheng. Whenever he remembered what his old superior said, if the country wants to be truly prosperous and strong, he must start from the baby. Although you are gloriously injured, it does not mean that you have to lose all your combat effectiveness. No matter where you are, you must think of fighting for the motherland, where the people are. The battle is going on.
More than 100 students were walking back and forth on the field used by farmers to harvest and thresh. Wang Erbao, who looked serious, patrolled by his hands with his back. Every student had a potential fear of the principal who had been on the battlefield. Wherever his eyes were swept, the students straightened their bodies and their paces were more standard, for fear that the principal would find something wrong.
"Principal Wang, this is not enough. The morning is the best time for students to learn." A young man with eyes and thin and gentle eyes came from the classroom. Wang Erbao knew that this person came from a normal university in Shanghai, and he did not ask much about the specifics. After participating in the revolution, he was assigned to serve as a math teacher here and was also the only math teacher in the school. At least these 100 students were divided into three high, middle and lower teams, three Chinese teachers, and they also served as a sports and military team.
"Teacher Xue, I know, but at the same time, the training of military quality must also start from childhood. Otherwise, if the country needs it, how can you go to the battlefield without a strong body? When you learn mathematics, mathematics, you can only calculate the accounts, statistics, etc., which is not very useful in rural areas." After hearing Wang Erbao's fallacy, Teacher Xue's face turned red and glared at the principal fiercely and retorted: "What? Do you say mathematics is useless, what do you know? What do you know? Do you know what guns are made for war? Do you know how bullets, cars, steel, and electric lights are made? Everything is based on mathematics and is based on mathematics!"
Wang Erbao looked at Teacher Xue who was about to go crazy and had to show a pleasant smile: "Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Xue, you know. What about me, a rough man, except for knowing some simple words, you don't care about villains and calm down. In ten minutes, I will take all the students back. How about it?" Looking at Wang Erbao, who was smiling, Teacher Xue was not too much. He stopped when he saw it, turned around and left. Wang Erbao behind him was now full of a victory smile.
However, Wang Erbao laughed too early. Teacher Xue directly sued him with a piece of complaint to the Education Department under the Administration of the Southwest People's United Government. In the first half of the year, there have been unsatisfactory aspects in the actual development of education in various places. After summary, it was submitted directly to Song Jin. As a student abroad, he deeply knew that education is the foundation of a strong country. Without high-quality talents, all walks of life have not developed rapidly. He considered specially reporting to Lin Sheng on this matter at San and requesting that this year's education funds be added again.
Looking at the additional funding for education in front of him, Lin Sheng was once again in trouble. The factory did not recruit qualified workers; the latest scientific research results developed by scientific research institutions were not converted, and a pile of waste paper was shelved on the high-rise buildings; the shops also needed a large number of literacy and calculation waiters, which were also lacking; government agencies lacked a large number of talents who knew how to manage. The actual situation was that many people were veterans from the battlefield, and were basically in charge of management in the management of war. It seemed that when this pattern was necessary, the superiors would be distorted and turned down.
Lin Sheng's secretary quietly walked in, "Chairman, Political Commissar Xie, President Song, President Situ and President Cai have all arrived at the small conference room on the second floor." "Oh! OK, tell them, I'll come soon." Lin Sheng looked up and replied that as a superior, he sometimes had to show his due status at some time and place.
When he pushed open the heavy and thick wooden door, everyone was immediately laughing. The wooden doors of the small meeting were specially made to prevent some confidential meetings from leaking. Lin Sheng also walked into the conference room with a smile and sat down nearby. He asked curiously: "Old Mr. Si, you have improved more today than last time. What good health care experience can't be kept confidential!"
"Chairman, we were talking about your problem just now!" Xie Ping said calmly.
"Tell me what problem, what problem, is there any possibility of correcting it?" Lin Sheng responded jokingly, which attracted a lot of laughter. Song Jin knew that he was no better than others. As one of the highest leaders of the Southwest People's United Government, he was the least in terms of age and qualifications.
"Chairman, we are all discussing you just now. As the highest commander in the southwest, we are not accompanied by the chairman's wife. How can the British Consulate in Chengdu be officially invited?" Song Jin hurriedly handed over an exquisite invitation. Lin Sheng took it and found that it was an invitation from Consul Wilson in the UK, and invited him to join his wife be welcome to officially open a dinner for the British Consulate in Chengdu.
"Well, it's really a big problem. I think you can just find a lesbian to pretend!" Lin Sheng said disapprovingly.
"That won't work. Once it appears on a formal occasion, it will have an impact." Lin Sheng was also right when he heard this, and was worried for a moment.
"Chairman, it seems that I really want to find someone for you to take care of your life." President Cai asked practical questions in a timely manner.
"No!" Lin Sheng looked embarrassed: "It seems that everyone here, except Foreigner Cai, has never gotten married!"
"I am old and there is no need for that. You are still young and can consider getting married. It also serves as an example. If you don't get married, who in the army will dare to stand up first?" Situ Ming knew that they had taken the marriage before, but that was a matter that spanned two time and space. He couldn't help but kindly reminded Lin Sheng and Xie Ping. His words made Song Jin suspicious. Song Jin didn't understand that Lin Sheng and Xie Ping would not get married. It seemed that none of the low-level officers got married. The puzzled eyes swept around Lin Sheng and Xie Ping.
"Okay, Mr. Si, the Chairman and I are not young anymore. When we meet the right time, we will ask you to host the wedding!" Xie Ping thought about it and understood what Situ Ming meant. The three of them rarely mentioned the past on occasions. Lin Sheng nodded and agreed to Xie Ping's opinion.
"Okay! Then have a meeting!" Situ Ming sat upright and sought Lin Sheng's opinions.
"Okay, today I'll call you all, mainly about the People's Army General Staff Department's approach to the south or north? For this reason, the General Staff Department has come up with two sets of plans. As for the plan itself, the south is small and the benefits are also small. The cost of going north is large and the risks are high, and the benefits obtained are also huge. Please take a look first!" Lin Sheng distributed the documents in his hand to everyone.
"As far as my personal opinion, there are the materials we urgently need at the risk of going south, and I prefer to go south to Guangxi." Cai Mingyuan wore reading glasses and looked around roughly, saying from his own point of view and interests. The reason why he was able to be at the highest decision-making level was that he was the first to stand up to support Lin Sheng and his revolution and provided the initial material support. Second, the government needed a local celebrity to take charge of Lin Sheng and his revolution to express that Lin Sheng and his revolution did not exclude outsiders. Third, most of the business personnel in the consultation meeting established by the government had a good relationship with him. He could be said that he sympathized with the revolution from the beginning, and was then framed by Lin Sheng and his gangs, and finally turned into a firm revolutionary.
Song Jin took over the topic: "I also agree with moving south. The price is small and the gains are great. The current economic and fiscal pressure on the government is also small. The government's financial inadequacy has supported a large-scale war. At the same time, the three provinces and cities are not sound and lack necessary personnel. Some institutions are just a framework and do not have a single soldier. If moving north, it is because the stall is too large and the distance is too far, it is not conducive to the direct management of the government. Second, the distance is long and the supervision of fiscal power, material rights and personnel rights must be relaxed, which is easy to breed strange intentions."
"Whether south or northward, it is a revolutionary need. The difficulties are great, and sometimes it has to be overcome. Nowadays, Japan has many troops stationed in the Northeast. Once the wolf ambition is given a chance, the Northeast will not be protected." Situ Ming knew the potential meaning of Lin Sheng. Anyone who knows history cannot bear to witness the three northeastern provinces being occupied by Japan again. It is indeed Lin Sheng who has always intended to fully control the three northeastern provinces before Japan's national strength recovers. With the advantage of the sword and number of people in his hand, he defeated the Japanese army in one fell swoop.
"Recently, I went down and looked at Sichuan. There was a busy scene everywhere. Both soldiers, workers and farmers were very motivated and eager to build their own beautiful homes. This is just a good side, but at the same time there are quite serious problems. Exaggerated returns and blindly demanding rapid construction, which makes the originally poor resources more wasteful. Some cadres take things for granted, regardless of consequences and do not pay attention to science," said Xie Ping, who paused for a moment. He also knew that if he went to the Northeast to take full charge of work, although Lin Sheng would not suspect himself, but was afraid that the people below would gossip: "So I support going south to Guangxi, and there is another important factor. People need cultivation. Frequent wars can certainly make morale strong, but they can also affect the lives of the people too much."
Lin Sheng listened to their speeches silently, and from time to time he lowered his head and wrote things on his notebook. He knew that Xie Ping's words meant to avoid suspicion. "Everyone has expressed their opinions whether to go south or north. I have summarized a lot. In the past, I always wanted to resolve the domestic civil war as soon as possible. The biggest benefit of going north is to occupy the vast plains and mineral materials. Once established, it will be easy to liberate the whole of China." Lin Sheng put away his pen and put it in his pocket of his shirt, summarizing it.
