Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

After seeing the decoded information, He Yuzhu became more certain of the plans of these enemy spies. It seemed that their primary target was most likely the Yalu River Bridge that he had guessed before.

For this reason, He Yuzhu reported the news to the leaders of the branch as soon as possible.

The leaders of the branch also attached great importance to this matter. They held a meeting to study and decide that this mysterious North Korean radio station was code-named Old Ghost, and the one lurking in Xiliao Province was code-named Little Ghost.

They instructed He Yuzhu to keep a close eye on the movements of the two enemy spies and to find them out before the volunteers returned home to ensure that the entire return plan would not be disrupted or missed.

After receiving the order from his superiors, He Yuzhu immediately rushed back to Security Division 7 and convened another emergency meeting.

"Comrades, the branch now requires us to find these two mysterious guys as soon as possible. The guy codenamed Old Ghost is currently in North Korea, and we don't have the conditions to find him now.

However, the guy codenamed Little Devil in Xiliao Province must be caught. Only by catching him can we follow the clues and root out the remaining lurkers."

When Li Wen, the leader of the monitoring team, heard what He Yuzhu said, he immediately expressed his opinion.

"Director, don't worry. Our monitoring team will monitor this guy's movements day and night and try to locate him as soon as possible."

Seeing that Li Wen was so confident, He Yuzhu patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, that's up to you, Chief Li."

.......................

During the following period of time, He Yuzhu was considered the busiest official in the entire Andong County. On the one hand, he was always paying attention to the progress of dry rice planting in Meishan, Meiling Township.

On the other hand, the county government organized staff to start raising supplies, widening roads, training for the welcoming ceremony in advance, and strengthening security in the surrounding areas to create favorable prerequisites for the subsequent return of the volunteers.

In May of the same year, in order to complete the comprehensive construction of socialism, the relevant leaders of New China drafted a goal of overtaking Great Britain in 5 years, proposed the first five-year plan, adopted the propaganda slogan of "hard work for three years to change the basic appearance", and officially launched the "Great Leap Forward" plan on a large scale across the country. In addition, they proposed a centralized production management model to solve the problem of farmers' lack of food, and began to officially launch people's communes in various rural areas.

The previous townships and villages were abolished and merged into communities, exercising local powers in a new form and structure of integration of government and society. The previous rural production cooperatives also changed their names at this time and were changed to production brigades. Corresponding brigade management committees were established, with a number of management personnel under them to manage the brigade. Of course, the cadres of these communes and production brigades were naturally regular staff recognized by the state.

The rise of people's communes and production teams had no impact on county-level leaders like He Yuzhu. Instead, it made it easier for him to manage centrally. The only ones who were affected were some town leaders who previously directly managed villages. The emergence of people's communes directly created a power differentiation in the town.

With the orderly implementation of reforms in various regions across the country, most areas have begun to eat from the same big pot.

Faced with the "Greater Viet Minh" and people's commune plans suddenly implemented from above.

The Andong County leadership immediately convened a meeting of the county standing committee in response to this policy. The meeting was chaired by the county party secretary Jia Zhengjing.

Jia Zhengjing looked around and saw that the comrades of the county party committee leadership team were ready, so he took the lead in speaking.

"Comrades, the official document on the people's communes and the Great Viet Minh Plan has been issued. I believe everyone has read it and has a deep understanding of it.

First of all, I want to make it clear that our Andong County Committee must always implement the core ideas and leadership from above. Regarding this Dai Viet Advance and the transformation plan of the people's commune, we must naturally succeed.

To this end, our Andong County has recently begun to cooperate with the policies of the higher authorities and started to merge the villages and towns within our jurisdiction, and adopt the form of establishing work points to effectively manage these farmers. Does anyone have any objections? "

Everyone present looked at each other, and no one had any objection.

He Yuzhu, who was well aware of the shortcomings of the people's communes, had no objection at this time.

He thought to himself, are you kidding? This is a national policy. How dare a mere county magistrate like him speak out against it? If he said anything, he would probably be labeled a counter-revolutionary. Although he was a time traveler, he was not the kind of brainless person who would seek death. He still wanted to live a few more years. Naturally, he had no objection, nor did he dare to have any objection.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Jia Zhengjing continued the previous topic.

“Since everyone here has no problem, let’s proceed according to the plan.

"County Magistrate He, the reform measures for the five townships, including Meiling Township, Daze Town, Longwangmiao Town, and Changshan Town, are now in your charge."

He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"No problem, Secretary Jia."

Jia Zhengjing then looked at Wu Xinggui who was standing aside.

"Manager Wu, Huangtukan Town, Qianyang Township, and Beijing Township are now under your charge."

Wu Xinggui nodded.

"Okay, Secretary Jia."

Then Jia Zhengjing changed the subject.

"As for the remaining towns, I will lead them."

...................

In fact, Jia Zhengjing's method of distribution has completely divided up the interests of the entire Andong County.

The faction represented by Executive Deputy County Mayor Wu Xinggui received three, He Yuzhu's faction received five, and Jia Zhengjing alone received eight.

Although this distribution method was not very fair, He Yuzhu accepted it calmly because the most important Meiling Township was in his hands.

As for the content of the next meeting to be discussed, it was about the appointment of major officials such as the Party Committee Secretary and President of the People's Commune and the Captain of the Production Brigade. He Yuzhu would naturally strive for them. These were all directly nominated and appointed by the Organization Department of the County Party Committee and were considered section-level cadres.

You have to know that the officials present were not fools, especially the county party secretary Jia Zhengjing, who was as smart as a monkey. From the moment he saw that his superiors were preparing to implement the people's commune plan, he had a new idea of ​​corruption in his mind.

Because he felt that the organizational structure of the people's commune allowed too much room for maneuver, and the party secretary and president of the commune had great power, comparable to the former Jiedushi and provincial governors. He felt that as long as he arranged some of his confidants to serve as key cadres in the commune, the peasants under the commune would be his cattle and horses, and he could arrange them however he wanted, even if it meant exploitation.

Originally he only withheld relief grain and enriched himself, but now he can do it openly.
