Restarting life in Siheyuan

"You are just an animal. I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore. I really can't stand it." Xia Yuhong was sweating profusely. She hugged the man tightly and gasped. After a trembling, she fell limp again, turned sideways, away from the man, closed her eyes, and could no longer speak.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't say anything. He lit a cigarette, leaned against the head of the bed, gently stroked his smooth back with one hand, and was contacting Xiao Hei in his mind.

I don’t know how Team Leader Guo will retaliate. For several months, it seems that he has only caused trouble for the two victims’ families and has not taken care of his own affairs.

Zhu Xuefeng was going on a long journey and felt uneasy, so he specially arranged for Xiao Hei to go to the place where Guo Junjie lived at that time to look for any suitable evidence. Xiao Hei just sent a message saying that nothing was found. Zhu Xuefeng was not giving up and was contacting Xiao Hei to get a feel for the situation in Guo Junjie's nest.

The nest must have been cleaned out, as there was indeed nothing left, except for a few pieces of furniture. Not even a piece of paper could be found, and Zhu Xuefeng gave up hope.

"I'll go first next time. It's more painful to queue at the back." After a while, Xia Yuhong, who had some strength again, turned over and leaned over, snuggling in the man's arms. Zhu Xuefeng hugged her and rested his arm on the woman's head.

"What are you thinking about, without saying a word, so deeply?"

"I miss Guo Junjie. I don't know how his father will retaliate. I'm about to go out. If he can't find me, it will be troublesome for you, Xuesong and Xiaomei to retaliate."

Xia Yuhong leaned forward, pressed closer, feeling the man's heartbeat, one hand unconsciously groping on the man's chest, "He is such a high-ranking official, he wouldn't be so bored as to take revenge on two students, right? How can he take revenge? Stopping them from going to school? He doesn't have the ability to do that."

"I can't guess, but he can make Xiao Zhou's parents unable to stay in school. It can be seen that this person is really unscrupulous in revenge. He should have some ability. It's really a headache."

"Don't think about him. As long as they can go to school, he can't control other things. Besides, if something really happens, I'll go find Uncle Lu. His father can always take care of him. If it really doesn't work, let them go to school in Hong Kong and study abroad, just like you."

The man put out his cigarette, turned around and hugged his naked body, "Well, let's take it one step at a time. It would be best if we can stay. If not, we can talk about it later. Let's get up and wash up. If we don't get up, Nana will laugh at us."

The man was leaving tomorrow, and the three of them talked for a long time in the bedroom. The man stretched himself. "Let's do this. You two still have internships tomorrow. It's too late to get up tomorrow. Let's take a rest. I'll go to the airport by myself tomorrow, and you two don't have to see me off."

Lin Na looked at the spacious bed. She had no idea of ​​the man's little thoughts. She smiled and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Xia Yuhong, who was confused.

"Sister Na, why are you running?" Lin Na blushed, "Xiaohong, you are going to die if you don't run..."

"It's too late to run now!" A pair of big hands embraced, no matter whether it was the charming Lin Na or the ignorant Xia Yuhong, no one could run away. The lights were off, and after a burst of play, the room became quiet again.

"You're traveling to two places this time, and you have to handle so many things in about 20 days. Time is very tight. Why do you have to come back at the end of July? August is fine. The two of us can take care of ourselves."

"I'm in a hurry to come back and see the second child's admission notice. If he is admitted, I want to arrange for them to go to Jinling to learn about the school in advance, and let them walk around and broaden their horizons."

"Is it okay for the two of them to go out? Why don't you arrange for someone to follow them?"

"No one is there. Gao Bo went to Hong Kong, Xie Minghui and Xiaoyu went to the criminal investigation team, Xiaolin has to go to work and study at the Iron and Steel Institute, and you two are also doing internships, so let them go. They have been abroad before, so a trip to Nanjing shouldn't be a problem. Besides, my third brother is over there and will pick them up."

"Xiaohong, don't worry. I think Xuesong is a calm person who has been out for a few times. This shouldn't stop him. When he goes to school, he will definitely run this route by himself in the future. It's okay."

After going to his godmother's house early in the morning and dropping off a large carton of milk powder, Zhu Xuefeng headed straight for the airport. Looking at the lush vegetable fields on the roadside, this will be the Third Ring Road in the future, but it is still farmland now. Zhu Xuefeng couldn't wait to see the farms in the autonomous region.

A helicopter carrying Zhu Xuefeng was hovering over the Myitkyina Dam. Looking at the majestic dam that cut off the formerly turbulent Heili River, the downstream became calm, and many small boats shuttled on the river, Zhu Xuefeng was very satisfied, as this river was being utilized in an initial way.

"It should be able to generate electricity normally now, how much is the power generation?"

Li Xiaojun answered loudly while flying the helicopter.

"Old Yang said that now it has all been completed. The electricity generated here has been sent to Jiesa. All the factories in Myitkyina, Pagan and Jiesa, as well as the equipment for road construction to the west, use the electricity here. According to the hydropower station, there is still a lot more. I don't know the exact amount, haha."

"Well, it took about two years. We can achieve what we have now thanks to the support from the country. If we rely on the autonomous region itself, we will probably have to wait for decades."

Zhu Xuefeng pointed to the farm below and said, "Go around the farm and take a look. It should not be harvested yet."

"Commander, you are putting me in a difficult position. Our farm now stretches all the way to Jiesha, which is several hundred kilometers long."

"Oh, I forgot about that. Let's go check out the farms in Myitkyina and then go to Pagang."

The farm is very busy, with many tractors and motorcycles coming and going. A large part of the steel mill's exports eventually come here. With mechanized operations, the problem of insufficient manpower has been alleviated a little, but there is still a lack of it.

There are many kinds of crops on the farm, and they grow very well. The endless farmland has formed a natural gathering place and a new village not far away. These are all changes. It seems that many tribes in the mountains have come down.

When the people working below saw the helicopter in the sky, no one panicked, but instead pointed and talked.

"Let's go to Pagang."

According to the plan, Zhu Xuefeng will inspect the development of various industries in the autonomous region and continue to implement the subsequent requirements. The autonomous region has made preparations, and Yang Maosheng and Song Yan are now waiting in Pagang.

Because Zhu Xuefeng was unwilling to build a private mansion, Yang Maosheng settled for the next best thing and directly had people expand the manor based on the original mine owner's manor. The main structure did not change much, but some supporting facilities and a helicopter airport were added. The helicopter slowly descended.

"Your skills are pretty good now." Zhu Xuefeng praised with a smile. His docking is more stable than his own. It seems that Li Xiaojun has driven a lot.

"It's OK. Actually, I want to learn how to fly an airplane, but Commander Song won't let me go."

"Come on, let's go down quickly, they are all waiting." In the yard, a group of people led by Song Yan and Yang Maosheng were already waiting outside.

In the next few days, Zhu Xuefeng inspected various places during the day and returned to the manor at night to listen to additional reports. Generally speaking, the autonomous region is developing very well now.

The rise of an emerging force is like this. After going through the difficult start-up phase and entering a period of rapid development, various problems will arise. In order to prevent them from happening, Zhu Xuefeng specifically emphasized this.

"You must remember that we must pay special attention to this in the future. Our team must never be infected with corruption and embezzlement. We must not only strengthen ideological education, but also improve and standardize the system to prevent these problems from happening. We must strengthen supervision and deal with problems immediately when they are discovered. We must not be lenient."

Yang Maosheng and Song Yan took careful notes. They were both well aware of the harm of this problem. In the past, the autonomous region was very poor and the probability of this problem occurring was small. But now that the development of the autonomous region has greatly accelerated, it is indeed necessary to prevent it.

"How's it going in the south now? Are there still minor disturbances?"

"They seem very unwilling to lose Manderle. They do harass from time to time, but the scale is not large. We have resolutely cracked down on them. Now there are fewer cases."

"They also occupy major industrial areas and export channels. Their economic size, population size and territory are several times larger than ours. This kind of thing cannot be stopped in the short term."

He took a sip of water and looked at Yang Maosheng. "Old Yang, their military is obviously weak now and they are temporarily unable to launch a large-scale counterattack. You can negotiate with them. We have no intention of occupying their territory, but we will never back down from the existing territory in the autonomous region. We demand the opening of bilateral trade and personnel exchanges. If they send people to harass us again, we don't mind asking them to move to another place and drive them all to the big beach in the south."

There is a narrow strip of land along the southern coast, extending all the way to the Strait of Malacca, adjacent to several island countries.

Seeing Song Yan eager to try, he poured cold water on him again, "Don't rush to expand your territory. There's no need. The bigger the place, the more trouble you will have. We are already busy with our small territory. If I really give you a large territory and countless people, can you manage it? Just be down-to-earth and take steady steps."

Song Yan felt a little regretful. His hope of going south, which he had finally heard, was suppressed by the leader again.

This area is generally very poor. Zhu Xuefeng has no interest in rescuing it, and the original intention of establishing an autonomous region was not for this. The current territory is enough for him to display his talents. There are land, mines, forests, countless resources, and a seaport. That's enough.

"Don't be discouraged. I know what you are thinking, especially Li Xiaojun. You are obsessed with expanding your territory. We have to do it step by step. You can't get rich overnight. We'll see what happens next."

Zhu Xuefeng left a message and continued to ask, "How is the sales of jade now?"

When talking about this, Yang Maosheng became excited. "After several months of preparation, the market has now opened. The gambling effect is very good, and the transaction volume has greatly exceeded our expectations. The price of jade has risen sharply after this speculation. According to preliminary estimates, the jade transaction volume this year can exceed 12 million US dollars. I dare not even think about it."

Zhu Xuefeng had a smile on his face. He had controlled the supply of goods for more than two years and used the method of gambling on stones. It was natural for him to achieve such results and it was not something to be proud of.

"Jade is a non-renewable resource. Don't expand supply just because of the current price. We still need to strictly control production. The price will only go higher in the future."

"How about we reduce the price? If we sell it now, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Zhu Xuefeng smiled and shook his head. "There is a lot of knowledge involved. Let's just follow the plan. If we all hold on and don't ship out the goods, the jade market will be occupied by other varieties. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the current railway construction and the harvest in the first half of the year."

"The country attaches great importance to the railway. Not only have they sent many experts, but they have also sent more than 60,000 engineering personnel. They are working day and night. According to their estimates, the lines in several major cities will be completed by the end of this year and will be open to traffic before the Spring Festival."

"So soon? I thought it would be good if it could be completed next year. More than 60,000 people came? Didn't they say last time that there were only more than 20,000 people?"

"The other party thinks the project is too big, and it's hard to keep up with the deadline with more than 20,000 people. They have been adding more people, and by the end of last month the number had exceeded 60,000. The port is also being built at the same time..."

I didn't expect that the country was so courageous and insisted on completing the project by the end of this year.

According to Yang Maosheng's explanation, the autonomous region's agriculture had another bumper harvest in the first half of the year. It has been confirmed that grain output has doubled again in the first half of the year. If the grain output is sufficient to supply the autonomous region and all construction workers, there will still be at least 7,000 tons left.

"Great, great, Lao Yang, thank you so much. With food in hand, there is no need to panic. You are the pillar of the autonomous region."

In fact, 7,000 tons is still far from Zhu Xuefeng's expectations. According to his idea, if all these lands are fully utilized, hundreds of thousands of tons of surplus grain should be easily produced. Unfortunately, there is still a serious shortage of labor, and mechanization has just started. In addition, due to the seed factor, the yield per mu is also very low. These problems need to be solved one by one in the future.

"Your Highness, there is still a shortage of labor. If there were a few hundred thousand more farmers, the output could be improved. Now that we have taken Mandele and Mogok, there are still a lot of areas that we cannot cultivate. It's a pity to leave them idle."

Population has always been one of the key factors restricting the development of the autonomous region. Last year, the area of ​​the autonomous region was greatly expanded by pushing it southward to Mandele, and the population also skyrocketed several times. However, facing the vast uncultivated areas, it is still a drop in the bucket.

"Now we have accepted nearly 400,000 people from the south in half a year according to your highness's method, but most of them are small family manual workers and small businessmen, and there are very few farmers."

It seems that the problem of insufficient farmers has been tormenting Yang Maosheng for a long time. There is no way out, as His Highness always asks him to increase grain production.

"Please arrange a time to take the team to visit the farm in Bald Eagle. The land there is vast and the population is sparse, but the output is extremely high. They use a lot of machinery to reduce the demand for labor. This is one way. The shortage of population will be a problem for the autonomous region for a long time. We have to learn to find other ways to solve it."

Yang Maosheng nodded in agreement. Song Yan seemed to have another idea. He knew what he was thinking without him saying anything. "Don't think too much. We should continue to accept people from the south, but since these people are manual workers and small businessmen, we don't need to force them to become farmers. As the saying goes, without agriculture there is no stability, and without business there is no wealth. If the autonomous region wants to be prosperous, it still depends on these people."

Next, he continued to inspect industrial, commercial and residential areas. Zhu Xuefeng was very satisfied with the orderly development and vigorous vitality of them.

The central area of ​​the autonomous region has been inspected, and the helicopter brought the group to the port, which is a place that Zhu Xuefeng is very concerned about. A large natural bay covers the port.
