Wang Lantong chuckled and said: "We haven't met each other in the past two days, so I came here specifically to visit Mr. Yuan. By the way, I want to ask Mr. Yuan when he plans to visit the three gentry and elders in the township again.www"
Of course, Yuan Su knew that the first half of the other person's words were nonsense. He calmly made a "please sit down" gesture, then sat down opposite him and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry that Mr. Wang is still thinking about this matter. I believe that before
Mr. Wang also witnessed it with his own eyes a few days ago. Although the gentry in the city whom Yuan visited before were attentive and kind, when the topic came to the point, they all resisted, which really made Yuan feel so chilled. So Yuan has been there for the past two days.
I'm thinking about why the three elders in the city are not keen on this matter."
Wang Lantong nodded slowly and said matter-of-factly: "Actually, I also guessed that Mr. Yuan was troubled by this matter, but then again, joint military-civilian defense is to protect the environment and the people no matter what.
Wouldn't it be a pity if such a great thing came to nothing? Not only that, I just heard this morning that Zhang Juren of Anshan Town has planned to mourn his deceased wife and son in the next few days. I'm afraid that Baoding
When Governor Zhang came to pay his respects, there were many things that could not be explained!"
Yuan Su glanced at Wang Li subconsciously, and thought to himself: It turns out that he was worried that Zhang Zhenfang would come to Luanzhou to investigate the case! To put it bluntly, if Zhang Zhenfang really came, it would not be just Wang Li who would be able to take the responsibility.
.
He knew very well that the other party was definitely not talking about such nonsense, so he pretended to smile and said: "What Mr. Wang said is absolutely true, but even if we have the sincerity to plan for Luanzhou's security, the three elders of the gentry do not support it.
, in the end, nothing was done. It’s strange to say that robberies occurred one after another in Shimen Town and Anshan Town, especially Anshan Town is still so bad in nature, but no one among these wealthy families is worried about this matter? "
Wang Litong sighed and said: "To be honest, Mr. Yuan, you are still too young, and maybe you don't understand the world of people. This joint military and civilian defense is indeed helpful to these wealthy families, but in their eyes, you are not
Not the one who benefits the most.”
Yuan Su thought for a while in silence, and then asked for advice: "Master Wang, how do you say this?"
Wang Litong put on an old look and said calmly: "Master Yuan, just think about it, although it is still unclear how the military-civilian joint defense will be implemented, but based on the understanding of our government officials by these wealthy people, they will definitely think that
Our officials want to use this name to collect money and food from them. As the saying goes, 'the richer the people, the more petty they are.' It would be fine if they were wealthy households from other places, but now most of the wealthy gentry in Luanzhou rely on their backgrounds, and no one can
I don’t want to pay this unjust money.”
After hearing these words, Yuan Su's expression changed slightly. It was not that he had not thought of this before, but he never expected that so many wealthy households would not have any money or food. What's more, he was formulating this military-civilian plan.
During the x joint defense plan, one of the important aspects was to focus on the money and food of these wealthy families. Nowadays, the higher authorities have implemented strict control over the seventy-nine standards. Bullets and military pay are all withheld. How can we survive in troubled times without money or arms?
Standing in neutral?
After pondering for a long time, he said in a very deep voice: "There will inevitably be expenses during the execution of this matter. If these wealthy gentry are unwilling to share the expenses, will it be possible that the state government and our army will have to bear the burden? Although the state government and the army have guaranteed
It is our duty to ensure the safety of the environment and the people, but if we really have the ability, there is no need to organize a joint military-civilian defense."
Wang Lantong nodded in agreement, and then said in a solemn tone: "What Mr. Yuan said is reasonable, but it is a pity that the three elders of the gentry may not understand it. In addition to being afraid of donating money and food, those three elders of the gentry are also afraid of donating money and food.
Another taboo issue is that we are worried that our officials will favor one over the other. After all, people's friendships may be thick or thin. If under the banner of joint military-civilian defense, we only focus on taking care of individual families, then we might as well not participate in such joint defense and guard our own homes.
I can feel more at ease with my property."
Yuan Su secretly thought: Wang Litong does indeed have some skills. After all, he has been in office in Luanzhou for so long, and he has a more or less grasp of all kinds of things in the territory. He sighed deeply and said with deep approval:
"After listening to Mr. Wang's words, Yuan suddenly became enlightened. It's just that this matter is really not easy to handle?"
Wang Litong immediately said: "Although it is not easy to do, it is not impossible. As long as Mr. Yuan is willing to give it a try, I believe he can still achieve something. In any case, this matter is a meritorious matter after all. I sincerely hope that
It can have a beginning and an end.”
Yuan Su sneered in his heart: I'm afraid you also want to get some benefits from it. But no matter what, he finally agrees with Wang Litong now, and listening to what the other party said, it is obvious that the other party has an idea, so he put on a mask to ask for advice.
He gestured and asked: "Master Wang, do you really have a solution?"
Wang Lantong nodded quietly and said: "The most critical issue at the moment is that the three elders of the gentry are too unfamiliar with Lord Yuan's military-civilian joint defense. If Lord Yuan can introduce a comprehensive and thoughtful plan,
, I believe it can still be more or less convincing, and at least it can give the gentry and elders a sense of confidence."
When he said the word "thoughtful", he deliberately emphasized his tone, and at the same time, he looked at Yuan Su thoughtfully.
Of course Yuan Su understands what Wang Litong means. The so-called "thoughtful" means to let all the big families participating in the joint defense see the fair and more beneficial side. This thing sounds easy, but it does take a lot of effort and careful consideration.
Mo. He nodded and agreed, "Master Wang really hit the mark, and I felt relieved immediately."
When Wang Li saw that Yuan Su had changed his self-identification from "Yuan" to "I am below", he felt a little proud. It seemed that this young master Yuan was indeed too young. He continued with a smile: "
In addition, if Mr. Yuan can persuade one of the wealthy gentry to take the lead, we will be 70% sure of the matter."
When Yuan Su heard this, he already knew in his heart which tycoon should be persuaded to take the lead. He nodded with sudden realization and sighed happily: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Mr. Wang's words are really true.
Please wake me up."
Wang Lantong laughed for a while, and said in an arrogant manner: "No, I just want the people of Luanzhou to live a more stable life. Seeing that the new year is approaching, as a parent official of Luanzhou, I don't want to be unable to live a good life in the government."
How about a peaceful new spring?"
Yuan Su heard another meaning from Wang Liantong's words. It can be seen that Wang Liantong also wanted to share some credit in the joint military-civilian defense. But to him, these are trivial matters. Since he
Thanks to Wang Litong's advice, of course I still have to express something, so I immediately pretended to understand and said: "Master Wang attaches great importance to people's livelihood and cares about the people's situation. I admire this sincerity very much. When things come true,
I will definitely report Mr. Wang’s words and deeds truthfully.”
Wang Litong was secretly happy, but he pretended to refuse and said: "The military-civilian joint defense was originally led by Mr. Yuan. I don't dare to be greedy for credit. In short, let Mr. Yuan make the decision in everything."
Yuan Su smiled and pushed a few more words, and then the two briefly discussed the specific implementation plan of "military-civilian x joint defense". However, Yuan Su did not reveal too much and only talked about some basic arrangements that were not important.
Wang Litong also vaguely noticed that Yuan Su was hiding something, but in the end this was Yuan Su's matter and it was not convenient for him to ask more questions, so he stood up and left after chatting for a short time.
That night, Yuan Su returned to his dormitory to carefully sort out his speed, and then wrote out this plan with pen and paper.
According to the ideas he has been constantly improving in the past few days, this "military-civilian x joint defense", in addition to collecting supplies for himself, is more importantly about establishing a militia system that has begun to take shape in Luanzhou.
He is now only the staff officer of the 79th Biao. There was an uprising in the 79th Biao before. Not only does he not have the power to expand his troops, but the general town will not recruit new soldiers for the 79th Biao in a short time. In the near future,
Then came the era of warlords' melee. Without enough troops, there would not be enough power. Without enough power, you would not be able to control your own destiny in troubled times.
The establishment of a militia system was a subtle way for him to leave a reserve force for himself.
Yuan Su planned to open a training camp in Luanzhou City in the name of joint military-civilian defense, and on the grounds that the gentry's homes were insufficient to guard the nursing homes, to gather helpers, tenants, and young men from all over Luanzhou. Now
It happens to be winter, the time of farm break. As long as you promise some small profits, you will definitely attract many young people who have nothing to do.
Regarding the operation method of the militia training camp, he plans to directly affiliate it with the state government office. I believe Wang Liantong will definitely not disagree with this. In this way, not only can he avoid many suspicions for the Seventy-Nine Biao, but he can also
It can give the militia training camp a certain official character, making recruitment and training more convenient.
The expenses for maintaining the militia training camp will naturally be shared by the local gentry in Luanzhou. As for convincing the local gentry in Luanzhou to support this project, it is nothing more than starting from two aspects: crisis and profit.
Needless to say, "crisis" is the two vicious robberies that have recently occurred in Luanzhou. In addition, in order to create a further atmosphere of hidden dangers, you can even try to spread some rumors. In this
On the other hand, Yuan Su will never feel any guilt. As long as he can achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes.
Although the "interests" aspect is a bit tricky, after all, Wang Liantong had already made it clear in the afternoon that the biggest beneficiaries of this joint military-civilian defense were not these local gentry at all, but rather the officials who initiated this operation. However, Yuan Su had it in his heart
I have still thought of a rough solution. Since these wealthy families have a big business and no worries about money, they will be more or less interested in fame. Even if the elders in the family don't care, the dudes below may not have the mentality of fishing for fame.
Comparison is indispensable among the children of rich families. In ordinary times, it is nothing more than comparing family property and family status. Although the militia training camp established now is not a serious institution, and there is no serious official position, after all,
It is a paramilitary organization with a local nature in Luanzhou. As long as you can find a position here, you will be a true "local hegemon". Even if you cannot compare with others in other aspects, as long as you hold most of the young people in Luanzhou in your hands,
The "command power" seems much more glamorous when spoken of.
Yuan Su plans to arrange several empty titles in the militia training camp. The reputation can be designed to sound better, but they are all positions with no actual power. Of course, in order to make these empty titles appear more valuable, he will not arrange them too much.
If there are too many, they will not be arranged in an orderly manner, but will be designed as appropriately as possible.
Of course, it is difficult to say whether this method is effective, so Yuan Su's most important priority is to find a leader with appeal. In fact, he already has a very suitable candidate, but he is not 100% sure of it.
