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

The man with glasses interrupted her in surprise.

"What did you say? Yin Xinjun was seriously injured and unconscious twice? I see, that's right, no wonder he didn't contact us!"

The man with inverted eyebrows asked with concern,

"Has Yin Xinjun recovered his memory now? Did he say anything to you?"

Tong Yu smiled and said,

"He finally recovered his memory this year and often talked to us about his time in the Red Army's Long March and the Western Route Army. He often told us that only the Communist Party can save China!

Once, when we were having dinner together, I told him that I also wanted to join the Communist Party. The commander sighed and said, "I have lost contact with the party for so long. I don't know if I am qualified to introduce you to the party now!"

Everyone laughed.

The man with the kind eyes said seriously,

"Comrade Tong Yu, I will be your first introducer to the party!"

The other people unexpectedly did the same thing.

"Then I'll be the second one!"

According to the rules, there must be two party members as introducers for joining the party, and then report to the higher-level organization for approval!

"Bring me the watch!"

An orderly brought a form.

"Comrade Tong Yu, after you have your meal, fill out the form and we'll sign it, and you'll be a party member!"

Tong Yu said in surprise,

"Great! I'm finally a party member!"

Everyone nodded with a smile.

At this time, a staff officer came in.

Handed me a telegram,

"Commander, the Fifth Division of Shandong is calling!"

Then a sigh was heard.

"Without a high-power radio, we can only receive but not send. A lot of telegrams cannot be sent out. It's really pathetic that the war has turned out like this!"

Tong Yu asked timidly,

"Is a radio with a communication range of 1000 kilometers enough? I brought one with me?"

"What? Comrade Tong Yu, you brought a high-powered radio with you?"

"Yes!"

The man with the inverted splayed eyebrows didn't say much, and he seemed a little excited, his voice began to tremble.

"Then please lend it to me!"

Tong Yu hurried out to say hello.

After a while, a plainclothes soldier came over carrying a suitcase.

"Thank you very much!"

Tong Yu said,

"What are you thanking me for? We have more than a dozen in Mulan County, and the commander recently seized two new 3000-kilometer radios from the Fengtian Arsenal!"

"What? Fengtian Arsenal?"

"Yes, our commander said so!"

"Everyone is saying that the Fengtian Arsenal was moved away by the Japanese. Haha, could it be moved to Mulan?"

Several people discussed excitedly.

The inverted brow said,

"Deputy County Magistrate Tong, we will do the task assigned to you by your commander and complete it for him. I want to write a letter for you to bring to him. Haha, after all, I am his teacher!"

Tong Yu immediately said,

"Don't worry, Commander. I will definitely complete the task!"

The thick-skinned man with glasses asked,

"How did you get here?"

"We rode on a sled. There are trucks in the county, but we didn't want to attract attention, so we rode on the sled from the main road!"

"Well, I'll arrange a company to escort you back later! You eat and rest first, and I'll write the letter!"

Mulan County,

Construction Bureau compound,

As the number of staff in the Construction Bureau increased, they had moved out of the county government, and the two offices originally given to them were simply not enough!

Wang Shuigen frowned.

At today's County Mayor's Office Meeting, Tang Yanning assigned a task to the Construction Bureau to initiate preliminary preparations for the construction of the county's top ten livelihood projects in 1946!

The so-called people's livelihood projects are the projects that the people need most. Wang Shuigen's mind was a mess. He thought about it for a long time and wrote one!

Mulan County Water Plant!

Then, he thought of how after the first power plant was put into operation, the factory’s employee bathhouse was now very popular, with people going there to take a bath 24 hours a day, causing Manager Liu from the power company in the conference room to protest!

So much heat from the thermal power plant could not be wasted, so he wrote another one, Mulan County Public Bathhouse!

After looking at the city layout map, he had a headache. He really didn't know where to put the bathhouse!

However, Wang Shuigen was an educated college student after all, so he decided to gather ideas and let all departments and towns across the county discuss it themselves!

Mulan County Government, in the meeting room,

Sai Mulan convened the mayors of all towns in the county to hold a meeting to arrange the work for the New Year of 1946.

Sai Mulan said,

"This year's Spring Festival is the first after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. We must make it a lively one so that the people of the whole county can celebrate the festival happily! If you have any ideas, please share them!"

Lidong Town Mayor Zhou Jiafu spoke first.

"In our town, since the land of several villages has been expropriated, some families with difficulties have only elderly people living alone and it is difficult to guarantee their income. I suggest that the government should express condolences before the New Year, give them red envelopes and some gifts!"

Liuhe Town Mayor Huang Chun joked,

"You've opened an industrial zone there. If you say there are families in need, then our entire town is the most needy town in the county!"

Everyone laughed and looked at Zhou Jiafu with envy!

Sai Mulan said,

"The Construction Bureau and the Industrial Bureau are drafting a plan for next year. Three major industrial zones will be launched next year. Don't worry, everyone's life will get better slowly! However, I have to remind you that the proportion of agricultural output value in our county will drop sharply next year. Go back and tell those landlords that the land belongs to the government, not to any private individual. Those who are smart should quickly transform and invest in industry and commerce!"

The land reform in Northeast China will soon be implemented on a large scale. Yin Xinjun has not touched the hands of these wealthy landlords. This matter must be carefully screened. He is thinking of a way to make a soft landing, how to make the patriotic and wealthy people start investing in industry. He has mentioned this matter many times to Sai Mulan!

The mayors looked at each other in bewilderment. The land belongs to the government, not to any individual! This was a big shock. Some mayors had hundreds of acres of land in their own families! Although there were land deeds, they belonged to the previous government, and the current government could deny them!

Sai Mulan continued,

"Next year we will start a three-year industrial construction plan. After completion, Mulan will become the strongest industrial county in the country. So, everyone should take a long-term view and not just focus on agriculture!

The topic has gone off track. Today's theme is New Year's activities. If you have any good suggestions, please continue to speak up!"

Cui Heng, mayor of Dongxing Town, said,

"When we hold activities, it's nothing more than singing operas, walking on stilts, etc. These activities require funds, and in the past, it was the wealthy families who chipped in the money!"

Sai Mulan said,

"For all activities this year, the money will be paid by the government, and you mayors will handle the work. The time span will be long, from the New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. We must organize some activities every day, visit the needy families, and make sure nothing is left out!"

There is still more than 600 million in the county's financial account! But on paper, it's all outgoing money this year, and not much income! But with Yin Xinjun's material warehouse to support her, Sai Mulan is not worried at all!
