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

The first power outage in Mulan County was not interrupted, and the power supply continued normally even in the second half of the night.

Street lights throughout the county continue to light normally!

The next morning, notices were posted throughout the city.

From now on, in order to celebrate the first Spring Festival after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the entire county will have uninterrupted 24-hour power supply until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

Chen Yao felt something was wrong as soon as he got to work today.

Business loan applications surge!

As soon as the county town was electrified,

The rich people in the county finally understood.

The county magistrate and the commander are planning to do something big!

Since the two of them came,

Countless plans have been put forward.

Recruiting, infrastructure, factories!

Now it seems that there is no boasting, every one of them is being put into practice!

Chen Yao immediately went to the county magistrate's office with a stack of loan applications!

"County Magistrate Tang! I have something to report!"

Sai Mulan is also in a good mood today. After the whole county was electrified, she received rave reviews and the people are all thanking her!

In addition, Sai Mulan knew her husband's abilities clearly, and she understood in her heart that the good show, the big show, was yet to come!

Today, she has arranged for Tong Yu to take the heads of the government office, the Industrial Bureau, and the power company to Harbin to start a formal large-scale recruitment campaign!

If the building materials factory starts operation after the new year as planned, the skilled workers in the whole county will become the biggest shortage! Recruitment must be done in advance!

"What's the matter? Director Chen, are you short of money again?" Sai Mulan asked.

The Finance Bureau has issued a total of 5500 million shopping vouchers! Especially in the last month, the amount of issuance has increased sharply! Now, shopping vouchers in Mulan County have begun to replace the dollar. At least the merchants in the county don’t like to use the dollar anymore, but only accept shopping vouchers, which are light and strong!

"No, no, the department store's monthly payment has reached 760 million yuan. At this rate, the currency we have issued should be enough, unless a large number of people are added!"

Sai Mulan thought about it.

"We still have to send them. The county has planned to recruit 10 to 30 workers to Mulan after the New Year. Deputy County Magistrate Tong has already gone to Harbin!"

Chen Yao was surprised to hear this, but he didn't have time to sigh about it. He took out today's loan application.

"County magistrate, take a look. Today's loan applications are more than five times the amount in the past. Nine companies applied for loans to open brick kilns, six companies applied for loans to open clothing factories, four companies applied for loans to open shoe factories, and three companies applied for loans to open wood furniture factories. There are also many other companies that apply for loans to open food processing, cigarettes, and wine. Should we control them?"

The county bank team has issued 470 million yuan in industrial and commercial loans, but the collateral is seriously insufficient. Some of the collateral is land deeds and house deeds issued by the puppet Manchukuo government, and some even have antique cultural relics. The evaluation is also very messy, but Sai Mulan gave a relatively large standard, and the approval rate is almost 60%!

This is to stimulate the economic development of the entire county. According to Yin Xinjun's opinion, state-owned enterprises can only engage in businesses that are difficult, large-scale and require high investment, such as power generation, steelmaking, and ordnance. All other businesses should be left to private enterprises to revitalize the economy and achieve better technological innovation. However, at this time, private enterprises are still in their infancy and can only be helped, and loans are the most direct way!

"We'll still control it at 60%. I thought about it last night and decided to control it by industry. Food, construction, building materials, textiles and clothing are the key industries we're currently supporting!"

Sai Mulan talked eloquently, but in fact most of it came from the advice of Yin Xinjun. Yin Xinjun's goal was to build Mulan into a logistics base for the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. If the right remedy was prescribed, the food and clothing urgently needed on the front line would definitely be the most important!

"Okay, then I'll write it down!" Chen Yao took out his notebook and wrote down the names of several industries!

Bin County,

Guo Qiang finally waited for the troops to come and take over the defense.

The messenger reported that the troops from the Shandong Military Region had taken over the defense and had arrived at the south gate of Bin County!

Guo Qiang sighed.

It's not easy.

Our Eighth Route Army soldiers are the ones who can endure hardships!

It's freezing cold,

I actually came all the way here!

Today is a nice day, the sun is shining brightly.

He hurriedly called Political Commissar Ji Yuan to go and greet them together!

At the South Gate, after the sentry checked the documents,

It has been released!

It’s so cold, who can bear to let the brother troops blow in the cold wind outside the city!

The regiment headquarters is not far from the south gate, less than 10 minutes' walk. It is sunny today, and the snow in the county town was cleared yesterday.

Guo Qiang and Ji Yuan led two guards along the street toward the South Gate.

On the way, Ji Yuan was filled with emotion.

"You know what, the thermal underwear the old company commander gave me is really comfortable. With a set of cotton clothes, I don't feel cold when I go out. If I could wear this clothes before, I might be able to kill a few more devils!"

In Yin Xinjun's space, the production of thermal underwear is also increasing. Since the daily output of the production line has tripled and has been in production for many years, he naturally has more money on hand.

As for the old subordinates, they were absolutely cared for. They were given 2000 sets directly! They guaranteed that everyone would have two sets! If they got dirty, they could wash them and change them!

On the street, Zhang Wenjiu followed Cheng Wei closely, and he heard the sound of a car horn from behind!

Looking back, a truck drove over, full of soldiers! They were holding brooms! They were clearly coming back from sweeping the snow!

He couldn't help but exclaimed,

"Wow, Commander, look at them, they're using trucks to clear the snow! Which unit is this? They're really rich!"

"The 33rd Regiment of the Jireliao Military Region, didn't I tell you last time, judging from the number, it is probably reorganized from a local guerrilla unit!" Cheng Wei said unhappily. He felt that the reason he couldn't get the equipment must be because of these second-line troops!

They are not good at fighting, but they are very good at grabbing supplies! They even have trucks, but a main force regiment like them actually took more than a month to get here from Dalian!

After the truck passed,

The soldiers who were pushed against the wall began to line up again!

Cheng Wei looked at his trouser legs that were soaked by the black mud and said angrily,

"Why are you driving so fast? Can't you drive slower?"

An officer who was leading the way came running over.

This is the glory of the staff of the 33rd Regiment!

He was a little confused, what was going on?

These Eighth Route Army soldiers who came from afar seem to be walking so slowly!

Rongguang took a look at the soles of other people's feet, and then he suddenly realized that this brother unit was actually wearing cloth shoes, and some of them were even cracked from being worn out!

Wearing cloth shoes in this cold winter, my feet will be so cold that I won’t be able to walk!

He looked at his new leather shoes again. They were comfortable and light, and there was wool inside. The feeling of walking in them must be completely different!

Several people came up ahead, led by Guo Qiang. He shouted from a distance,

"Staff Officer Rong! Where is their commander?"

Cheng Wei and Zhang Wenjiu were both stunned when they heard the voice.

Cheng Wei even started to curse loudly.

"Damn it, you Qiangzi, you actually hid in Bin County and made a fortune!" He has a bad temper, but a good heart and strong party spirit!
