Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

In the early autumn in Northeast China, the sun is warm but mild, and the breeze is gentle, bringing a hint of coolness.

Songhua River,

Two motorcycles, an armored vehicle and a truck were speeding by.

For Yin Xinjun, the most urgent matter is the site selection for the first phase of the project. The earlier the arsenal is put into production, the earlier the soldiers can benefit and more lives can be saved on the cruel battlefield!

The site chosen is not only for the arsenal, but also for other civilian products factories, such as building materials, clothing, shoemaking, food and so on!

The best location is not far from the Songhua River, because the terrain of Mulan County is that the south along the river is a plain, and the north is all mountainous, and production and life are definitely inseparable from water sources. In addition, transportation is convenient, and the only major transportation route in the county is the riverside highway!

Unfortunately, there is no train service to Mulan County yet. However, Yin Xinjun has already considered laying a railway in the future to connect to the railway network in the Northeast!

The convoy ran westward along the riverside road. Yin Xinjun suddenly heard a loud noise coming from not far away on the road.

Then, he saw a village not far away on the north side of the road, and farmland for several kilometers around it.

The sounds coming from this village are all in Japanese.

"This place is in a good location, let's go over and take a look!" Yin Xinjun pointed to the village.

The group got off the car and walked towards the village.

The village is like a group tribe.

There were wooden fences all around, and a two-meter-wide trench was dug. A few people in kimonos, both men and women, were standing at the door, chatting.

When they saw the soldiers coming, they immediately hurriedly hid in the village!

Yin Xinjun, Ding Shan, and Sun Wei stood at the entrance of the village.

Sun Wei said,

"Mulan County Liuhe Town Development Group Headquarters! This village belongs to the Japanese!"

Yin Xinjun snorted coldly.

"These devils are all poor peasants in China. They can't make ends meet, so they come to the Northeast to plunder our land!"

Ding Shan said,

"Master, do you want to shovel them all?"

Yin Xinjun shook his head.

"It's over, but they shouldn't occupy our land anymore. This piece of land is the first phase of our industrial park!"

He pointed around and continued,

"No one is allowed to live within a 10-kilometer radius. We need to re-plan and redevelop!"

Ding Shan immediately said,

"I understand Master, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"

Yin Xinjun selected three sites along the way, namely the first power plant in the eastern suburbs of the county, the arsenal in Liuhe Town west of the county, and the building materials factory in Lidong Town beside the Muqing Highway north of the county!

After selecting the site, Yin Xinjun returned to the county government office.

Sai Mulan had her first day at work today. She was constantly meeting people in the county magistrate's office. There was a long queue at the door. They were all celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life in the county.

They were not shy at all and were holding all kinds of gifts in their hands!

Yin Xinjun walked to the door.

Then I heard Sai Mulan yelling,

"Take it away from me. I don't want your money. If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of here!"

Soon, a fat and big-eared man was seen coming out dejectedly, carrying two taels of silver.

The man walked to the gate of the compound, spat, and said bitterly,

"What the hell! You're so arrogant, you're just a county magistrate! If you provoke me, I'll go find Zhen Sanjiang and teach you a lesson!"

Yin Xinjun heard the name and thought it was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. He frowned and pushed the door open and walked in.

Someone behind shouted,

"Hey, sir, you can't cut in line, right? There has to be a first come first served rule!"

A policeman at the door yelled directly,

"What are you talking about? This is Commander Yin from our Security Command!"

The whole place fell silent!

Yin Xinjun took out a plate directly from the space, took out two bunches of grapes, and placed them on the table.

"Honey, eat some fruit to cool down! Who was that person just now?"

Sai Mulan was still angry and said,

"He was the former mayor of Xinmin Town. He asked me to let him continue to work. I said it was impossible, and he immediately took out money. It was as if I had never seen money before!"

Yin Xinjun smiled and said,

"I'll teach you a trick. Next time you encounter something annoying, just say it has to be discussed at the office meeting and politely decline it!"

"Discuss at the office meeting?" Sai Mulan thought the term was a bit novel.

"Yes, all major matters must be discussed together, and no decision can be made quickly. As the saying goes, two cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! You should first set up the internal institutions of the county government. The government office, transportation bureau, construction bureau, education bureau, finance bureau, civil affairs bureau, etc. cannot be left out!"

Sai Mulan felt a little overwhelmed. She ate some grapes and said,

"Why do I feel like I'm on a pirate ship?"

Yin Xinjun said,

"It's actually very simple. First, learn the old official system and take a look at the old documents. Then, innovate according to the needs. I have a suggestion. Set up a county supply and marketing bureau and let your uncle be the director to unify the management of the purchase and sale of public materials. The director of the finance bureau and the president of the bank can be done by one person, but I don't have a suitable candidate. You and Tong Yu can discuss the directorship. You two can divide the work. This way, you will have much less to do!"

Sai Mulan was only busy eating grapes.

"If I let my uncle and cousin both become the director, will the people below gossip about it?"

Yin Xinjun sighed. He knew that it didn’t seem good, but who could he hand over some core and key departments to?

"As long as they do a good job, there is no need to be afraid of gossip! In short, the key to management is to manage people, and you will gain experience slowly!"

The first day of work is finally over.

Sai Mulan did two things.

The first thing is to have the police station post a recruitment notice to recruit 200 police officers from the public!

The second thing is to appoint Jiang Hailiang as the director of the Supply and Marketing Bureau!

During dinner, Sai Mulan mentioned something. Today, three school principals came to ask about the start of school. One of them was that the schools used to teach Japanese, so what should they do now? The second was that the teachers in the schools were generally worried about not getting paid this month! Some teachers had even resigned!

Yin Xinjun thought about it.

"It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to educate a person! Education is extremely important. Starting tomorrow, you will stay in the office in the morning and go around and do some research in the afternoon. I will get you a car. As for teaching Japanese, that must be abolished!"

Sai Mulan said,

"A few gentlemen came today, saying that several nearby counties are plagued by bandits, especially the one called Zhen Sanjiang. Taking advantage of the fact that no one is watching, he has gathered several thousand policemen and puppet soldiers, occupied Fangzheng County and Tonghe County, and declared himself king. My husband, if I go out, I have to bring more people with me!"

Yin Xinjun couldn't help but laugh.

"Today, I have ordered the Security Command to start a large-scale expansion of the army. Just wait a moment. In half a month at most, once the new recruits and police are trained, I will start to suppress the bandits. You are treating me like a sick cat instead of showing off your power?"
