The next day, three cadres sent by political commissar D to Tainan found Zhou Weihan.
Hu Jingyun who worked at the Taibei Branch of Jinan Bank, Lin Zhen and Li Dongcheng who were responsible for economic work in the Western Hebei Region of the Taihang Base Area.
Before Tainan, the task given to Hu Jingyun by Political Commissar D was to establish the Tainan Branch of Hebei Nan Bank in the Tainan base area as soon as possible.
The few people met and had a brief chat. Zhou Weihan was surprised to find that Hu Jingyun was actually his fellow disciple.
"Are you also a student of Teacher Yang?"
"I was Teacher Yang's student when I was studying in Peking, so you still have to call me senior brother?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
With this relationship, the conversation between several people suddenly became less estranged and more enthusiastic.
"How is Teacher Yang's health now? I haven't seen him for several years. I went to Jinan a few days ago and there was a war at the time. I didn't even bother to see Teacher Yang!" Zhou Weihan said regretfully.
"I haven't seen him in almost two years. I haven't seen him since I graduated from Jinan School of Finance and Economics!" Hu Jingyun said.
Jinan School of Finance and Economics is not located in Jinan. It is a product of a special period and only existed for a short period of time.
The predecessor of Jinan Bank was the Jinan Economic Committee established within the Jinan Chief Administrative Office, which was responsible for organizing and leading the economic construction work of Jinan District.
After the establishment of the Economic Committee, the economic construction outline of the anti-Japanese guerrilla zone was formulated and the Jinan standard currency was issued.
When the preparations for the Jinan Bank just started, they were obstructed and sabotaged by the Kuomintang die-hards. They sent multiple telegrams to the Jinan Chief Executive's Office to stop organizing the bank and issuing Jinan bills, and issued a threatening notice: "Anyone who uses Jinan bills will be shot."
”.
In order to avoid direct conflict, according to the instructions of Political Commissar D, the bank was transferred from southern Hebei to the southeastern Shanxi base area.
Finally, we arrived around Xijing Town, Licheng, the base area in southeast Shanxi, and continued the preparatory work.
In Xijing Town, the Eighth Route Army specially established a Jinan School of Finance and Economics. Zhou Weihan's teacher Yang Xiufeng also served as the principal to reserve professional talents for opening banks.
The division headquarters also transferred a group of key people who had done and studied financial work from the Anti-Japanese University and other universities, including Hu Jingyun, to jointly organize the bank.
On September 16, 1939, the Jinan Chief Administrative Office officially announced the establishment of Jinan Bank to issue Jinan currency with Cai Zi Order No. 17, requiring Jinan Bank to become "the cradle of cultivating the anti-war economy" and "a fortress to protect the interests of the people."
Jinan Bank has established branches in Taihang District and Jinan District respectively.
The institutions of Jinan District are located in Chuiyang County in the hinterland of Jinan, adjacent to Nangong, and are led by the Jinan Chief Administrative Office.
The institution in Taihang District is called the Business Department of the Head Office of Jinan Bank, and each special area in Taihang District is renamed a branch of Jinan Bank.
...
During the conversation, Hu Jingyun repeatedly mentioned the idea of establishing a Tainan branch. Zhou Weihan knew that the Tainan branch would be established sooner or later, but not now.
"Comrade Jingyun, don't be anxious. It's good to have work enthusiasm. You have just arrived in Tainan and you don't understand the situation inside the base area. You need to go on an on-site inspection first. Only when you truly understand the actual situation in Tainan can you do your best.
Targeted measures!”
"I only know how to fight, and I am a layman in terms of economics, but I also know that this involves the livelihood of thousands of households in the base area. Issues related to ordinary people should not be taken lightly!" Zhou Weihan suggested.
"Brother, you are right, please arrange a guide to take the three of us to visit the base area!" Hu Jingyun calmed down and said.
Immediately, Zhou Weihan asked the monk to call the Minister of Logistics, Ding Dabaan, and asked the cavalry regiment to send a small unit to protect it.
The three of them were new here and were not familiar with the local conditions. Originally, Zhou Weihan wanted Li Daben to go with the three of them, but the garrison was undergoing training, so Ding Dabaan, the logistics minister, could only take over.
The three of them, Hu Jingyun, were personally selected by Political Commissar D. Zhou Weihan was relatively assured of Political Commissar D's ability to know people.
However, after the exchange just now, Hu Jingyun gave Zhou Weihan the feeling that he was a bit irritable. To put it mildly, he had a high enthusiasm for work and a strong enthusiasm for doing things, but it was not good to be too irritable in economic work.
In addition, Hu Jingyun has a low political sense and is a bit naive. From this aspect, he is suitable for immersing himself in economic work.
Zhou Weihan estimated that political commissar D sent Hu Jingyun to Tainan because of the relatively stable political environment in Tainan, and Zhou Weihan had the ability to ensure his normal work.
As for the other two comrades, there was less communication, and Zhou Weihan didn't see any clues.
...
The group of people were all riding horses with fast feet. They first visited the area near Yanwang Mountain, and then visited the base areas and occupied areas of Wuyi and Wu'an. The group even went to Wu'an County for a tour.
Finally, Hu Jingyun heard that Ci County had just completed land reform and called everyone to go to Ci County again.
After visiting for three consecutive days, everyone returned to Yama Mountain on September 30.
After three days of visits, Hu Jingyun looked a little older than the spirited young man before. His face was unshaven and his cloth shoes had holes in them.
Ding Abacus approached Zhou Weihan and said softly: "Detachment leader, the workload in these three days is more than what I did in half a month. I only have four hours of rest every day. The horses are very tired and the soldiers of the cavalry regiment are very distressed."
Got it!"
Zhou Weihan looked at the big toe exposed on Hu Jingyun's foot and smiled: "Bacusin, go back and give Jingyun and the other three new outfits!"
"Comrade Jingyun, the three of you have worked hard these days. Let's go to your residence to have a rest and change into clean clothes. We will discuss the specific situation in the afternoon when everyone is here!"
Zhou Weihan did not allow Hu Jingyun to speak and asked the monk to take them away.
After the three people left, Zhou Weihan looked at Ding Abacus.
"Captain of the detachment, these three people are all very capable of enduring hardships. My body and bones can hardly bear it. Hu Jingyun is the most active. He has quite a lot of theory during the conversation. It's hard to say what his specific work ability is yet!"
"As for comrades Lin Zhen and Li Dongfang, they behaved very calmly during the visit, took a lot of notes, and had a good time getting along with the people. I heard what they meant. They used to work in western Hebei and were specifically responsible for
Economic work in the base area!" reported by Ding Da Abacus.
Zhou Weihan asked Ding Abacus to accompany him on the visit. In addition to being a guide, he also inspected the three people's work ability and character in disguise.
"Okay, this matter is confidential. You are responsible for the production and economic work within the army. These three comrades will be responsible for local economic work in the future. You will have to deal with many places in the future. Learn more from them and learn more from them.
Only through communication can we make progress!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Captain, I understand!"
As the logistics director of the independent detachment, and even the logistics director of the entire Tainan Military Region in the future, Ding Da Abacus was very courageous.
However, Ding Abacus has been learning through practice, and has made great progress compared to the beginning, and manages the production work in a sound and logical manner.
Everyone in the independent detachment praised this great steward.
