Back in Lingao, preparations for the "First Lingao Political Consultative Conference" to be held after the Spring Festival are also in full swing. With the vigorous publicity of traversers and local collaborators, Lingao negotiation expert Zhang Youfu and traversers
In order to win the favor of the executive committee, Lin Quan'an, a non-staple food supplier, launched a competition to encourage local people to attend the meeting. Zhang Youfu sent all his long-term workers, domestic servants, and tenants away and told them to go home.
to promote
Ma Qianzhu asked Wu De to select some eloquent people from the workforce to form a working group and go to the countryside to mobilize the masses. For this matter, he transferred Du Wen back from Yanchang Village.
On a high winter morning, the sun rises from behind the mountains, dispersing the night fog. The wind is slightly chilly, but it is refreshing and pleasant. The water of the Wenlan River has become very shallow, and the bottom of the river is exposed in many places.
People can wade across stones.
On the newly renovated Wenlan River-Bobu highway, local farmers in small and large groups, carrying poles, ropes and dustpans, greeted each other and walked to various construction sites along the Wenlan River. Now it is
During the off-farm season, the Chuang people were building large-scale construction projects everywhere, and labor was needed everywhere. As long as they were willing to work, even women and children could earn some wages every day.
The small groups of bandits that used to harass the locals have disappeared on both sides of the river. The mobility, communication and firepower advantages possessed by the traversers make any such behavior unprofitable and dangerous - anyone who challenges the authority of the traversers is either killed or beaten.
He was arrested and sent to the labor camp. Safe and convenient transportation slowly changed people's living habits. Many people no longer stayed in the village, but became willing to leave their homes and go to distant places in search of opportunities and knowledge.
Among these pedestrians, Du Wen was particularly eye-catching as she walked on the road. She was wearing overalls made of locally dyed blue cotton, a blue worker's hat, a nylon scarf around her neck, and carrying a load of documents on her back.
A yellow satchel with a brochure, and a towel tied to it. It was very conspicuous among the crowds on the highway. The locals were already used to these "Kun people", but when they saw such a "short-haired" female, they couldn't help but
Take a few more looks.
Du Wen was in a very happy mood. First, he saw that construction was progressing with each passing day. When he went to Yanchang Village last year, the roads were still dirt roads. Although some were stone roads, they were already in dilapidated condition. Now not only are there simple roads, but also from
The simple rammed earth road was replaced by a road paved with gravel and cinders - not only was it smooth, but there was much less smoke and dust from the carriages and horses passing by; secondly, during these days in Yanchang Village, she had the opportunity to show off her skills and put many
When past theories are applied to reality, some of them hit a wall and some were successful. To sum up now, her results are not bad:
The formal classes of Ma Niao Institute have been held for three times, and more than 20 rural cadres have been trained. These people not only completed literacy and learned basic cultural knowledge, but also initially learned political theory knowledge and basic administrative methods. Including the current hundred
The main cadres of the Ren People's Commune have all participated in training at this workshop. In addition, basic literacy work has been carried out for the entire village through "part-time classes" and "night classes". Now under 13 years old
The illiteracy rate among school-age children has dropped to zero. This makes Du Wen feel very accomplished.
Yanchang Village not only established a village committee and organized a militia, but she also put a lot of effort into setting up a women's group. Although at the moment she was only organizing women to do some logistical work, she believed that women in the future would
The group will play a greater role. It is a little regrettable that as her key training target, Tan Xiaoqin's awareness has always been limited. On many major issues, she would rather let men make decisions, without any awareness of half the sky.
When she was approaching the outside of Bairen City, she saw Ma Qianzhu standing by the river with a few people, and she quickened her pace.
Ma Qianzhu is still wearing his unchanging 87-style training uniform, although the clothes have been worn out of shape recently. The chest pocket of the training uniform is inlaid with three red diagonal stripes - this is a new trick created by the New Army, Wei Aiwen
It was proposed that without the implementation of the military rank system and military markings, colors should be used as marks for positions and military positions. These three red slashes represented Ma Qianzhu's military status: Chief of Staff of the New Army. The original plan was to imitate
The style of the German General Staff was worn on trousers. Later, I thought it didn't look good and there was no place to find so many red strips of cloth, so I changed it to the breast pocket.
He held a telescope and a notebook in his hand, standing on a big rock by the river and looking at the construction site on the other side. Next to him were Mei Wan, the head of the engineering department, and the female planner she didn't recognize.
They all had folders containing drawings and information. They were discussing something.
"...Committee Ma, the stadium itself is not an urgent matter. Besides, doesn't the city already have basketball courts, badminton courts and other facilities for people to exercise? Suddenly we need to build such a large stadium with a 400-meter track.
Not only are the materials difficult, but the labor force is also insufficient.”
Ma Qianzhu said with a blank face: "This is not just for sports, but for celebrations and mass meetings in the future." He sighed, "These things must have a venue, and among other things, the rostrum
Parts such as the viewing platform and the viewing platform must be completed on time."
While he was talking, he saw Du Wen coming, said hello quickly and came over to talk to her.
"You're back?" Ma Qianzhu glanced at her, "Why didn't you call Xiao Zishan and ask him to send a car to pick you up? Where is your luggage?"
"There is a car." Du Wen took off his hat and took off a towel from his bag to wipe his sweat. "I took the salt car to Bopu, but I heard they said there would be no car to Bairen until noon.
I'll come here first, and my luggage will be delivered to me in a while."
"Well, you might as well come back early. Let's talk about work first."
In addition to working group matters, Arima Qianzhi had other considerations in transferring Du Wen back from Yanchang Village: Although Yanchang Village was the first local village to seek refuge with the travelers, it was also the most loyal to the travelers.
, but the power of the Tan family is still a bit too strong. Most of the people who participate in the farmer training center are the children of this family. If we continue to put the training center there, sooner or later, the Tan family will have an advantage in the rural cadre system.
Cadre training institutions such as workshops are not suitable to be isolated from the main base for a long time.
Ma Qianzhu got straight to the point: "We are about to organize some working groups to go to the countryside to promote and agitate for the upcoming county conference. Wu De has already selected some people. You are more experienced in mass work, Bai Ren The grassroots cadres of the commune have been trained by you and are familiar with them, so you will take the lead in this matter."
Du Wen nodded: "I will discuss it with President Wu."
"There is another matter. The executive committee of Ma Niao's farmer training center is considering canceling it after the conference. Ma Niao's training center is well run and has achieved remarkable results. However, the local color is too strong. So this time it will be canceled When you come back, you will start a new school and turn it into a regular school."
"I have no objection." Although Du Wen didn't quite understand why such an adjustment was needed, it was a good thing to return to Bairen anyway. At least he could comfortably take a hot bath every day, and have good food and accommodation. It is also much better than Yanchang Village.
"After the school is established, you will still be in charge of daily work." Ma Qianxu said.
"Okay, now that we have arrived in Bairen Village, the conditions are better. We have a theoretical position and can train more cadres!" Du Wen was very happy. She has become more and more enthusiastic about theoretical work recently. The theory in "Lingao Times" In the past, Xi Yazhou wrote the most articles, and Du Wen came from behind.
"The task of training rural cadres will become more and more arduous in the future. You need to spend more time on this aspect, especially on the quality development of cadres."
Once each village accepts the team training and joint defense plan, the Chuangzhong will use the opportunity of team training to gradually train young people from each village to serve as grassroots cadres after they officially take power in the future.
"One thing I have to remind you," Ma Qianzhu remembered something, "when teaching students, don't grasp the wrong direction. In the current historical period, landlords and businessmen are our allies - you have to remember In this regard, there will be many children of such people among the students."
Du Wen nodded solemnly: "I understand this truth. The slogan at this stage is 'Eradicate the strong and help the weak, protect the environment and the people'. It does not involve political issues-"
"As long as you understand, now we have to unite everyone who can be united." Ma Qianzhu sighed.
"Then do you want to continue writing my theoretical article?"
"Write it, why don't you write it?" Ma Qianxu smiled. In his heart, he didn't attach much importance to Du Wen's theoretical articles - except for the large amount of data piled up, the theoretical value is not high, but it is better than nothing, even if it is It's good to use it to occupy the position of public opinion.
"A theory is a theory. Aren't the rightists advocating freedom of speech all day long? Just practice freedom of speech. It doesn't matter if your views are more intense. As long as you don't advocate violent revolution."
"Okay! I understand!"
Du Wen looked at Ma Qianxun's dark circles and said, "Duke, you should also take care of yourself."
Ma Qianzhu paused and said with a concealed smile: "It's nothing. I have to make organizational adjustments recently. There are many meetings, and it's late before I know it." He deliberately stretched his waist, "When I got here, I feel that my life is regular and fulfilling. It's better than Things were much better in the past.”
"Governor, why don't you take up the position of chief of staff? You are not a soldier, you are tired and hard-working, and you still have the work of the planning committee to do-"
"It doesn't matter. It's better to be busy. It's good for the body and mind." Ma Qianzhu said a little embarrassed.
Du Wen said goodbye to Ma Qianzhu and walked to the club of Bairen Commune. On the way, she met several cadres whom she had attended classes with and they all greeted her. When she came to the club, she saw Wu De facing a table.
I was fascinated by the large-scale Lingao map - this map is from the 21st century, but it has been modified by the surveying and mapping department according to the current situation. The remote survey team has basically traveled through the mountains and rivers of Lingao in the past few months.
Water, villages and residential areas are clearly marked.
Du Wen came to take charge of mobilizing the masses, and Wu De had already received the notice from Ma Qianju.
"Basically all the residential areas in Lingao are here." Wu De pointed to the various pins and flags inserted on the map. "The red ones are for those who are sure to participate, the green ones are for those with ambiguous attitudes, and the yellow ones are for pushback.
. These are the results based on preliminary publicity conducted by our local partners."
At a glance, most of them are red, especially the villages on both sides of the Wenlan River north of the county seat, which are completely red.
"The difficulty now is that in the south of the county and in the areas near Danzhou and Chengmai, there are fewer villages that are willing to come. But there are none who are blatantly unwilling to come."
Du Wen and Wu De discussed: Since there are not many villages with ambiguous attitudes, the size of the propaganda group going to the countryside cannot be too small. They are not familiar with these areas. If there are fewer people, firstly, they will not be able to show their power, and secondly, it will be difficult to come to the countryside.
Ensure the safety of personnel. If you encounter a fool who is not afraid of anything, the propaganda team will easily suffer losses if there are few people.
It was decided that each group would send a platoon to escort them. The power of thirty Mini rifles was enough to frighten the local stubborn people. In addition to the new army, the people who led the group were not required to be eloquent, but had strong survival ability in the wild and good physical strength.
People - after all, this is also a physical job. The group should have guides who are familiar with the local environment, preferably local people who are related to the destination. We should also find people who are familiar with the dialect and can speak eloquently for publicity. The focus of the publicity is natural
This is what the executive committee has repeatedly emphasized: it is to maintain local security - "protect the environment and the people." To this end, Wu De has asked Zhang Xingjiao to write several drafts of leaflets to explain the policy for travelers. He also invited a few Chinese students to
After reading the meaning, he asked Zhou Dongtian to print a batch of notices and leaflets.
"Are the notices and flyers useful? When I was in Yanchang Village, I found that the local illiteracy rate was very high." Du Wen was a little skeptical.
"It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. The key is to convey our message. Once the notice is posted, the villagers who were originally ostriches have to face reality. It doesn't matter if they can't read. They will naturally find someone to inquire about the content."
"Gou Buli must also be brought along." Du Wen suddenly remembered the chef who had acting talent in Goujiazhuang at that time, "but he only has one person, so he can only arrange one group."
"Indeed." Wu De felt a little regretful. Although this Goubuli had no good intentions, he was a very useful propaganda tool. Unfortunately, most of the people who joined them were so simple that they couldn't even speak clearly. "By the way,
We can also ask Lin Quanan and Zhang Youfu to come forward. These two are also very good at deceiving people. They also have some capable subordinates who can be used."
"Are these people reliable?"
"Haha, very positive!"
In addition to these people, the intelligence and health departments have requested that some of their own people be placed in the team in order to collect local conditions. In the past, they could only learn about these villages outside their sphere of influence through reports and photos from reconnaissance and exploration teams.
After analysis, now that I have the opportunity to conduct an on-site inspection in person, I naturally can’t miss it.
