African Nationhood

Chapter 109 Go to the grassroots level

"Mr. Shi, what you said is serious. In this world, the victors always write history.

After our country is established, our history books will well write this period of founding history. "

Shi Jintang chuckled, you don’t know what the future holds, but I do.

"The reason why I am telling you this today is because there are quite a few people talking about it within the company, and I am very worried that our internal disagreements will lead to internal friction.

I will never show mercy to someone who resists and undermines the company's established policies.

Therefore, I hope that you can help me get the upper hand within the company and convey my attitude. "

Shi Jintang's expression was cold and solemn when he said these words, which made Fu Tong feel a little trembling.

The company belongs to Boss Shi alone, and he has made his attitude clear. Anyone who has doubts is an enemy of Boss Shi.

"Well, I understand. I will definitely convey Mr. Shi's attitude."

Shi Jintang nodded, "Where will we go to inspect?"

"The villages and towns around Hot Spring City are fine. How about we just go casual and see wherever we go?"

Shi Jintang nodded in agreement, and then the group began to have breakfast with Chaoyang.

The meals are brought from the kitchen of the Hot Spring City Government, and the barbecued noodles are all ready-made.

The guard company only needs to boil some water and make coffee or tea.

After eating and drinking, everyone mounted their horses again. Shi Jintang chose a direction at will. The guard company went first. Shi Jintang and Futong rode side by side, and the group set off again.

While riding horses, Futong began to report on his work.

“There are currently 321 settlements opened in the Central Plains District, and each settlement is equipped with at least one platoon of militia teams.

At the same time, materials were provided to build a large-scale facility that could shelter 300 people. In the event of a wave of wild beasts or an invasion by foreign enemies, it could serve as a wartime fortress and hold on for half a month. "

Shi Jintang nodded and indicated to continue.

"Zhongyuan District has so far reclaimed more than 100 million acres of land and raised more than 8000 horses, more than 22000 purple sheep, and 12000 cattle.

The entire Central Plains region has stored reserve grains of 20,000 tons of wheat, 80,000 tons of corn, 30,000 tons of soybeans, and 40,000 tons of dried sweet potatoes. "

Shi Jintang nodded again. Among the major regions in Southwest Africa, only the Central Plains Region and the Orange Forest Region had similar foundations.

The number of immigrants is also very different, but the achievements of the Central Plains District are worthy of recognition.

According to documents compiled internally by the company, among the reserve grains accumulated in all regions, there are 100,000 tons of wheat, 230,000 tons of corn, 110,000 tons of soybeans, and 300,000 tons of dried sweet potatoes.

The cultivated land totals more than 9 million acres, and the crops grown are mainly wheat, soybeans and corn.

The rest will grow some cash crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, rapeseed and peanuts. As for the planting of cabbage and radishes, they are all arranged independently and will not be counted for the time being.

The livestock raised: more than 80,000 cattle, 180,000 sheep, and only more than 40,000 horses. Poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese are also arranged independently and are not included in the statistics.

Among the major industries, agriculture accounts for the largest population, with over 100,000 immigrants, plus 70,000 indigenous people, and animal husbandry accounts for more than 30,000 immigrants.

A small number of the 100,000 immigrants involved in farming are young children, and most of them study part-time at home.

The effectiveness of learning is very low, but there is nothing that can be done. There is a serious shortage of teachers in various places.

……

The group of people walked casually for more than an hour and arrived at a small town.

Looking at the "Siming Town" on the gate of the town, Shi Jintang became interested.

"Why is this place called 'Siming Town'?"

Futong chuckled, "The 'Si Ming' here still has an allusion.

At that time, enough immigrants had been resettled in Hot Spring City, and the regional government decided to open up a larger settlement.

At this time, a new group of immigrants arrived, and the four headed by them were four brothers who had become friends and sworn sworn friends on the road.

Because they were sworn sworn brothers, they all had the character "Ming" in their names.

Therefore, when they settled here, they named the town Siming Town after the four generations with the character "Ming".

I didn't know about this at first, but when I found out later, I immediately separated the four brothers and divided them into four parts by opening a new settlement.

Now there is only one boss left in Siming Town, Zhao Mingtang as the mayor. "

After hearing Futong's actions, Shi Jintang felt that he handled it well. Such a local official deserves praise.

"District Chief Fu, you are right to do this. The civilians under our rule can no longer imitate the Qing Dynasty.

"Imperial power not going to the countryside" is very dangerous and will endanger our rule.

You must always pay attention to the situation below and never let them get together.

From now on, if we unite and fight against the government, our work will be very passive. "

Futong listened attentively to this instruction and nodded in agreement, "I will always remember Mr. Shi's teachings."      …

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

The group of people rode through the town's gatehouse and found that although the buildings here were low, most of them had been renovated.

The road surface is very smooth, with a lot of gravel.

The arrival of their group attracted the attention of the residents in the town.

After seeing Mayor Futong clearly, the residents became excited.

"This is terrible, District Chief Futong is here. Someone come quickly!"

"Director Futong, where is that handsome man?"

"Hurry up and call Mayor Zhao. Tell him that District Mayor Futong is here."

……

The town was abuzz, everyone was inexplicably excited, it was too uncomfortable to be idle during the rainy season.

Finally, a handsome man like a peep show appeared, no, it was two handsome men.

Zhao Mingtang is in his early thirties, tall and strong. After receiving the news, he rushed over without stopping with a group of civil servants from the town government.

"District Chief Fu, why are you here? We don't have any preparations here. It's really rude."

Futong saw that the mayor below was doing well and didn't say anything inappropriate.

He pointed to Shi Jintang next to him and said: "I didn't come here just casually, but I came here with General Manager Shi of our Nanhua Company.

Old Zhao, you are lucky. As long as you satisfy Mr. Shi today, your future will definitely be great! "

Zhao Mingtang was stunned at this time, "Oh my god, Mr. Shi, you are here. I, Zhao Mingtang, am not dreaming. It is my ancestor's blessing that I can see your true face!"

Not only Zhao Mingtang was confused, but the surrounding residents were also confused. It took a while for everyone to react.

With a bang, everyone gathered in front of Shi Jintang's horse.

The horse under his crotch was frightened to the point of irritation, snoring and seemed about to go berserk.

Shi Jintang waved his hand directly, "Don't crowd around here, wait for me to dismount."

Shi Ming and others quickly ran over and separated the crowd, fearing that they would startle the horses and injure Mr. Shi.

Shi Jintang jumped off his mount and walked forward. A guard took away his mount.

Shi Ming and others also gathered around, trying to separate Shi Jintang from the residents.

Shi Jintang patted Shi Ming's shoulder, signaling not to be so nervous.

Seeing how easy-going Mr. Shi was, Shi Ming reluctantly stepped aside and allowed Mr. Shi to walk over and face the residents face to face.

But he still followed Mr. Shi closely to guard against danger at any time.

Zhao Mingtang struggled to push aside the residents in front of him, "Give way, everyone, don't crowd. Mr. Shi has come to our Siming Town and will definitely stay with us for a while.

Don't be anxious, everyone, speak slowly if you have anything to say, be quiet and let Mr. Shi speak! "

Zhao Mingtang's prestige is still good. As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Even the residents who were pushing forward stopped. Shi Jintang looked at Zhao Mingtang, "Mayor Zhao, you have a good reputation. Everyone listens to you."

Zhao Mingtang chuckled and scratched his head, "No way, it's all because of everyone's love, so I reluctantly became the mayor.

Nowadays, everyone's life is getting better and better. It is inevitable to be excited to see you here.

You not only gave everyone a way to live, but also allowed everyone to live a good life with enough food and meat every day.

Everything we have is given by you, and we are most grateful to you! "

Shi Jintang smiled slightly, "Well, I know everyone's thoughts, but the current life is not good enough, we still need to work harder.

To live a better life, no matter how strong I am, how many acres of land can I cultivate and how many cows can I herd?

All of this requires everyone to work together and struggle together. Only in this way can everyone's life get better and smoother.

Everyone said, am I right? "

"Yes! Mr. Shi is right!"

After everyone finished speaking, they began to speak to Shi Jintang individually. In the end, the turbulent voices quickly converged into one sentence:

"Long live Mr. Shi, long live, long live!"
