After settling the matter with the Chinese laborers, Dong Shuheng could finally continue heading eastward.
Leaving Gaoyou and heading east, we gradually entered the former salt area. When we reached the boundary of Xinghua, the number of farms owned by the Huaihai Company gradually increased.
Dong Shuheng and Ai Nengqi disguised themselves as merchants and walked to the nearby Nanguan River Farm. Most of the farms used to be wasteland, and there were usually no roads. After the farm was built, a road would be built to connect to the official road.
Therefore, there is basically only one road into Huaihai Company's farm. For the safety of the farm, the farm usually sends militiamen to take turns to set up checkpoints at this only intersection. However, this checkpoint is usually only responsible for checking whether there are suspicious persons and does not charge a fee.
However, when Dong Shuheng arrived at this checkpoint, he was blocked by the militiamen guarding the checkpoint.
"Brother, we are merchants from other places. We are going to buy some seeds from your place." Dong Shuheng explained.
"Huh, it's not impossible to buy things on the farm. The entrance fee is one silver dollar for each person." The militiaman said arrogantly.
"Brother, who set the entrance fee? Why don't other farms have it?"
"Hey, you just walk away if you don't want to go in. Don't you have to pay a fee if you go to another place to enter the city gate?"
"But haven't city gate fees been canceled in the entire Jiangbei area? Isn't your place under the control of the Huaihai Navy?"
"Brothers, drive these businessmen away. I think they are here to stir up trouble." As he said this, the militiaman picked up his gun and was about to attack them.
Dong Shuheng hurriedly pretended to beg for mercy and said: "Hey, little brother, don't do anything, let's pay." He grabbed a stack of silver coins and handed it over.
The militiaman grabbed the silver dollar and let them go with a groan.
Entering the farm, there are green rice fields on both sides of the road. Due to the convenient irrigation, the rice grows well. The field ridges are also full of soybeans, and water chestnuts grow in the canals. Xinghua locals have the habit of growing water chestnuts, which can be eaten as fruit.
, can also be cooked and eaten. On the edge of the river beach in the distance, which is not suitable for planting rice, there are tall taro plants, with huge leaves reaching to the sky, like an inverted umbrella.
The farm department is located in the center of the farm. There is a square in the middle. There is a large yard beside the square. There are three rows of tiled houses in the yard. This is the office building of the farm department. At this time, an old man dressed as a farmer was blushing in the conference room.
He reasoned with a young man in military uniform.
"Chen Jiahao, you can't do whatever you want anymore. If the young master finds out, it will be in trouble, and your uncle won't be able to save you by then."
This old man used to be a veteran in the Dong family farm, named Yang Shougen. Lao Yang was a good farmer. Later, Huaihai Company established a large number of farms, and Lao Yang was sent by the company to be a farm director. When Lao Yang took office
, he does manage the farm very well, and the employees on the farm also admire him.
But Lao Yang was too honest, and he was fine with the farmers, but he couldn't suppress him when he encountered a thorn. Later, a militia was formed on the farm, and the Armed Forces Ministry sent a regiment leader. He actually knew this regiment leader, who was the former Dong family member.
The steward of the farm and the nephew of the current Minister of Agriculture Chen Dongsheng, his name is Chen Jiahao.
Chen Jiahao behaved well when he first arrived at the farm. After all, he had been trained in the military academy and organized training as required every day. However, it didn't take long before a group of tough and lazy people gathered around him. These people encouraged him to do bad things all day long.
Although it is not harmful to nature, it makes the atmosphere of the farm worse and worse.
"Old man Yang, just take care of the farming affairs, but don't blame me. We are not subordinates." The young group leader Chen Jiahao said arrogantly.
"Okay, don't worry about other things, but what do you say about the theft of the farm's seed company? You dare to say that it has nothing to do with you. You are responsible for the security of the farm, why don't you investigate this matter?" Lao Yang was really angry today.
If it was something like molesting a female employee in a food factory in the past, he would have ignored it. But if the seeds were stolen, he might not be able to pass the audit in the future. He knew that this matter must be caused by Chen Jiahao or a few of his
Made by a confidant.
"What does this have to do with me? I still think the people from your seed company are stealing it, but I haven't found any evidence yet." Chen Jiahao came up and bit back.
"Okay, okay, just wait, I'll go to Minister Chen to sue you."
"You go and sue, and I'll see who my uncle believes."
"Yang, you'd better be careful when walking at night, don't break your leg." Chen Jiahao said sternly.
"Oh, do you want to break his legs?" At this time, a young man's voice sounded at the door.
"Which one are you from..." Chen Jiahao got stuck in the middle of his sentence. Dong Shuheng didn't recognize him, but he and Lao Yang both recognized Dong Shuheng.
"President...President, why are you here?" they asked stammeringly.
"Let me see how our good farm in Huaihai Company has been turned into a mess by you."
"President, it's all my fault. I failed to take care of the farm and let you down." Lao Yang said with his head lowered.
"Lao Yang, you do what you do in what position. Now that you are a farm manager, you can't just do the things of an old farmer. The wages of farm workers are not as high as yours."
"Yes, President! I can't afford my current position. I request punishment."
"Hey, Captain Chen, why didn't you say anything? Weren't you very arrogant just now? I'll call Director Chen over later and see if he believes you or me, okay?"
"President, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again! For the sake of the fact that we have played together, please spare me this time. It was all done by Wang Mazi and the others, and they encouraged me.
." Chen Jiahao argued.
"Why don't I remember playing with you? Is this your attitude of admitting your mistake? You will write everything about yourself clearly. If you write less, I will add a year to your sentence. I think you need to find another farm job.
Yes. The labor reform farm in Yancheng is pretty good.”
"Lao Yang, you should become the section chief of the agricultural department of the farm and cultivate the fields well."
"Yes, thank you, President." Lao Yang's back was already wet with sweat. Dong Shuheng's majesty as a superior just now really frightened him.
Dong Shuheng left the conference room and had Chen Jiahao imprisoned.
"Lao Yang, you are most familiar with the situation here. Whoever is doing bad things with Chen Jiahao, arrest them all."
"Yes, President, I will go to the deputy commander Zeng Xinhua right away. This person came from the teaching group. He has a good style and a good character. He usually cannot understand what Chen Jiahao does. I will ask him to call in the militia to arrest those people.
Catch him."
After a while, a young officer ran over. He stood at attention and saluted: "President, Zeng Xinhua, the former platoon leader of the 2nd platoon of the 3rd company of the 1st battalion of the teaching regiment, reports to you."
"Zeng Xinhua, you are now appointed as the acting leader of the Nanguanhe Farm Militia Group. Now we urgently summon the militia to arrest these lawless elements."
"Yes, President!"
Zeng Xinhua followed the order and left, and soon he arrested a dozen militiamen who often followed Chen Jiahao to do evil, including those who set up cards to collect fees at intersections.
"Lao Yang, please send someone to Gaoyou to inform the middle-level and above personnel at the company headquarters to come here for a meeting at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Dong Shuheng was originally full of joy to see the results of his farm construction. He never expected that his team would become corrupted and degenerate in such a short period of time. It seemed that a major rectification campaign was going to be carried out. Only now did he understand that future generations would be responsible for the organization.
At work, why does the unit carry out rectification activities every now and then? People are lazy. If the alarm bells are not ringing in your ears, then sooner or later you will become corrupted.
The only difference is that those with backgrounds, conditions, and intrinsically bad people corrupt and degenerate faster.
It was still afternoon, and since there was nothing much to do anyway, Dong Shuheng simply walked around the farm department. The farm department concentrated residential areas for farm workers and some enterprises run by the farm. Dong Shuheng saw a seed company, which mainly breeds and breeds improved seeds.
It is supplied to the farm for its own use and will also be sold to external parties.
There is also a vermicelli factory next to the seed company, which uses sweet potatoes and taro produced on the farm and purchased from surrounding villagers to process vermicelli. Originally, these crops were inconvenient to store, but after being processed into vermicelli and dried, the storage time was greatly improved. At the same time,
, it is also more convenient to cook and tastes better.
Past the food factory, there is a small clothing factory. This clothing factory mainly produces work clothes for the site and surrounding farms. Of course, it will also be sold to outsiders. The farm work clothes are strong and durable, and ordinary people also like them very much.
eyes, then lowered their heads and exchanged something unknown, and then a silver bell-like laughter sounded...
As the workers went home from work, smoke drifted from the residential areas of the farm, adding vitality to the entire farm. The houses on the farm were all built in a unified manner, each with three tile-roofed houses and a small kitchen in front of the house.
It is used for cooking. There is a well at regular intervals to facilitate residents to obtain water. Surrounding the residential area are the self-maintained vegetable gardens of the employees' homes, where various vegetables are grown to meet the daily needs of the family.
The weather in July is very hot, so many men bring water directly from the well and then run to the side to take a shower. Most women go to public bathhouses to take a bath, which have automatic faucets, which is very convenient.
Dong Shuheng made do with sleeping all night on the farm. The next morning he was woken up by the factory bell. He simply got up and watched the militia training. The militiamen usually arranged morning exercises in the morning, and then returned to their posts.
.
Zeng Xinhua is well organized and the training is very methodical. He may have been ignored by Chen Jiahao before. It seems that in the future, these loyal farm men must be used as much as possible, and those with nepotism must be observed more before they can be used. He does not want to use Huai Haijun
Create a family-style army.
Before the morning time arrived, middle-level and above-level leaders from Huaihai Company, the General Administration Department, the Police General Department and the court all rushed over. Dong Shuheng simply held a meeting in advance and explained the situation to everyone.
The middle-level and above-level leaders of the Huaihai system who were sitting here looked very surprised. Most people in this era are still very simple, and everyone attaches great importance to etiquette, justice and integrity. As a result, something like this happened, and the people at the Huaihai Company headquarters also felt guilty.
responsibility.
"President, it's my fault. I didn't manage the wealthy family well. Please punish me." Minister of Agriculture Chen Dongsheng stood up first and said.
"Minister Chen, there is no uncle-nephew relationship when it comes to work. Our Huaihai Navy has always been a meritocracy. I hope that everyone in Huaihai Company, Huaihai Navy, will first think about the system at work, not the system.
Human relations, this way our business will get better and better."
"We had omissions in the system arrangement before, so what happened today. Director Zeng, I will issue a document to launch an 'education rectification' campaign in the military, administrative and company systems, and rectify what is happening now.
The evil trend makes everyone think about where their original intention is? Everyone should check their own problems and the problems of the organization and colleagues around them..."
"In addition, a new Supervision Department was established. Li Hu was transferred to the position of Minister of Supervision, and Wu Ting was appointed as the President of the High Court. The Supervision Department is directly subordinate to me and is responsible for the internal personnel supervision of the military, government, and company systems. Reporting points should be set up in various company departments and farms.
As well as the reporting mailbox. The Supervision Department is leading this rectification activity and must use this opportunity to publicize its functions and purge our team."
