Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

Old Yang threw the plan for people's livelihood on the table and said angrily: "Uncle Cui, this is too much! I help them arrange for retired soldiers and military families, and the country will make a fortune! Isn't this a kind of disrespect for soldiers and people? After all, they are also citizens and have the right to choose their lives. If you say that there are some high-end technical talents among these people, I will admit it, but look at these people. Most of them are from rural areas. They don't have any skills except farming. There are also many family members of technical soldiers who are not among them. I guess these people are either technical personnel or military and political leaders. How can you let me use these people with confidence! If I promote these people whose families have immigrated, will those middle and senior leaders agree and accept their management? It's really creating trouble for me!"

Secretary Cui answered while drinking tea, "This is already the best condition. If you are given some people whose whole family is a leader, how will you arrange them? They also have complicated interpersonal relationships in China, how can they go with you to suffer! It is better for you to have those with clean backgrounds. Besides, you are a mercenary group! Many people just go to your place to train, and will come back sooner or later! Only those whose whole family immigrated there can be retained by you. You should be content if I can find these for you! Besides, whether you can retain talents depends on how hard you work. If you let these people get married, have children and settle down abroad, we can't do anything! So complaining will not solve the problem, you should see if those conditions are acceptable!"

Old Yang looked at the plans of the navy, army and air force respectively, and they were basically the same as what Old Yang had thought. Since the air force and navy had already tasted the sweetness, there was nothing excessive in their requests, so Old Yang was quite satisfied. The army was the largest system in the Chinese military, with a large number of personnel and a variety of arms. The requirements they put forward were more favorable than those of the navy and air force, so Old Yang did not have much objection.

At the end of each plan, there is a special agreement requiring the sharing of existing conventional military equipment. Both parties have the right to request training services from the other party, help each other, and improve together. The agreement period is set at 30 years. Lao Yang thinks 30 years is acceptable. After 30 years, China's military equipment can be regarded as a world power, and there will not be much need for Lao Yang's help! The last thing mentioned in the livelihood plan is zero tariffs on trade between the two sides!

China will simultaneously establish free trade terminals in six locations, including Dalian, Qingdao, Fujian, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hainan, to carry out deeper and broader trade cooperation with Changle Group.

It seems that the country has a deep understanding of its own situation. Lao Yang's identity is no secret at all among the country's top leaders. It is estimated that foreign intelligence agencies will soon know that Yang Shangjin and Li Dazhuang are the same person. Lao Yang's influence abroad will definitely be curbed by capitalist countries.

Old Yang thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with his Nanyang plan, and that he could openly support domestic construction in the future. So he signed his name on the agreement and stamped it. This time the secret signing was completed!

After signing the agreement, Cui happily talked to Lao Yang about the recent situation of his old friend, especially the fox that Lao Yang had always been thinking about, who was carrying out a secret mission in the Soviet Union. The hedgehog had already arrived in Kyoto to meet up with everyone and was ready to go to Hong Kong and then to Southeast Asia together soon.

Lao Yang asked Secretary Cui if the country could provide weapons and ammunition support. Secretary Cui said cryptically that the higher-ups meant neither support nor rejection, and if Lao Yang could provide some advanced technology, he could get some weapons and ammunition support in exchange!

Old Yang was thinking about getting some technology first and exchanging it for a batch of weapons and ammunition from China, so that he would have an excuse to take out some weapons that he bought for free later. The key is that it is relatively easy to get advanced technology in this era! China is too backward, and it is advanced if you just go to Europe, the United States, Japan, etc. to get some technology!

Lao Yang asked again about the large amount of meat he had obtained. What did the leaders above mean?

Officer Cui smiled but said nothing. He looked at Old Yang for a while before saying, "The reaction from above was quite big. Several big bosses had different opinions. In the end, the boss suppressed the opinions of others and issued the instruction to 'work together for the country and the people!' In fact, anyone who is not a fool knows that this is giving benefits to the country. A fish worth one cent and meat at the market price can be bought with national currency. If anyone breaks this, he should be taken out and shot!"

"The car in Zhang Ke's hand was also obtained from you, right? These are materials and tools that benefit the country and the people and can make significant contributions to national development. Although many people are jealous, they dare not stand up and destroy them blatantly. They can only ask the competent department for them by their own means! The Shadow Guards have already dealt with several unruly capitalists. The channel here is designated as the core channel, and no one else is allowed to interfere! The boss and the gentleman asked me to tell you that you can do it boldly, don't worry, they will cover it for you!"

After hearing what Cui said, Lao Yang felt relieved. Just as he thought, the country would not abolish this powerful arm of his. It would only give him more convenience and more privileges!

In a happy atmosphere, Lao Yang left the secret service with the signed agreement. Director Cui told Lao Yang that he could go to the Veterans Administration to arrange for the veterans' call-up order in five days, where there would be special people to receive him.

After Lao Yang left, Cui took the signed plan and Zhang Qing to the ministry, where they made a detailed report to Minister Li. Minister Li took Cui to meet Mr. and the boss, and the document was sent to the military department and then printed to each military region. At one time, the leaders of each military region called the central government and asked for more quotas.

When Lao Yang returned to the compound with the documents, he saw Zhao Jingyi discussing the matter of borrowing a TV with Aunt Sun and a group of other old ladies in the compound. When everyone saw Lao Yang coming back, they greeted him one after another, and Zhao Jingyi agreed to Aunt Sun's request. She lent the TV to Aunt Sun and the others in the compound tonight, and then they left with satisfaction, waiting to move the TV at six o'clock in the evening.

Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi went back to the house together. Lao Yang told Zhao Jingyi the result of meeting with Secretary Cui today, and said that he and Zhao Jingyi would go to Zhao's house as guests tomorrow and meet Zhao Tiehe. He would return to Hong Kong in five days at most!

Zhao Jingyi knew that they were leaving soon, and she was still a little nervous. After Lao Yang finished speaking, he took Zhao Jingyi to the public phone at the entrance of the alley and called the Zhao family to express Lao Yang's intentions. Zhao's mother was very happy to hear that the two would go back tomorrow, and she also agreed to help notify Zhao Tiehe to go home.

After the two of them finished their phone call and returned home, Lao Yang began to introduce other family members to Zhao Jingyi, such as Haitang, Meigui, Shen Yuting, Cui Liniang, Deng Lijuan, and the diligent housekeeper Tian, ​​as well as their careers in Hong Kong. The two of them sat in the living room and chatted about the stories of Hong Kong.

Just as the two were chatting happily, Aunt Sun led two sturdy women into the house and greeted them: "Xiao Yang, Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you today. Let's move the TV outside and learn from the superiors!"

Old Yang and Zhao Jingyi also stood up quickly. Zhao Jingyi said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Sun. The TV is right there. Let's move it out! There is a built-in antenna behind the TV. If we set it up, we should be able to receive the TV stations in Kyoto!"

Several people worked together to move the TV to the yard. An electrician who was familiar with circuits had already pulled a wire and connected it to a socket. Everyone hurriedly placed the TV and turned it on. After pressing the switch, they began to adjust the antenna, and the picture became clear. Everyone returned home and brought stools and benches to sit in front of the TV. Some children even brought a brick and sat on the ground.

Everyone was watching the TV program intently. When Li Yuping entered the courtyard, she saw a group of people watching TV attentively. Li Yuping curiously went over to take a look and saw that the leader's speech was being played. When she didn't see Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi in the crowd, she turned around and went back home.

When I got home, I saw Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi sitting at the table, still talking and laughing about the customs and practices of Hong Kong. Li Yuping also wanted to listen and came over. Lao Yang told Li Yuping directly that the policy had been issued and he was going back to Hong Kong. Li Yuping was also very sad after hearing this, and Lao Yang also hurriedly comforted her.

After seeing a slight improvement, Lao Yang looked at his watch and saw that it was already seven o'clock, so he took out some cakes and food from the space to make do with it. When he was cleaning the table, he found the cloth bag and sparrow that he had put in the corner last night. Lao Yang took out the sparrow and found that this sparrow was listless and motionless. Except for its eyes, it was still alive, but it looked like it was dead. He took out another one and it felt much better. It should be because it was hungry and had no energy. He tried to collect it and found that the total number of times he collected it exceeded eighty-one times, which means that the sparrow's mental strength should be slowly recovering, but he didn't know how to calculate this amount.

After finishing the arrangement, Lao Yang led the two out of the house, said hello to Aunt Sun, and drove the two to No. 8 Guaijia Hutong. He opened the gate and introduced the house to the two girls, and told Li Yuping that they would move in after the house was built.

After a brief introduction, Lao Yang drove the two women to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang Courtyard and showed them around his three western wing rooms and the eastern courtyard behind. After a brief introduction to the decoration, he drove to the home of the fourth master Ma. As for why they didn't meet the third master, it was because they were holding a meeting for the whole courtyard. Lao Yang and the other two did not participate and left after seeing the meeting.

Introduced Ma Siye to Li Yuping and told her to contact Li Yuping directly if she had any problems. If Li Yuping had any suggestions on decoration, she could also contact Ma Siye to make changes. Afterwards, Lao Yang drove the two girls to the factory in Santa Village and introduced the functions and effects of the building, as well as the current progress.

After the three of them finished their round, it was already around 9:10 p.m., almost : p.m. When Lao Yang and the other two returned to the compound, the TV program had ended, and Auntie Sun was leading everyone in a discussion about what they had learned. A group of neighbors were also talking about the guiding spirit they had learned.

When Aunt Sun saw Lao Yang and the other two coming back, she quickly went over to greet them and said, "Xiao Yang, Xiao Zhao, you're back. Your study session has come to an end, and I'll be sending the TV back to you right away!"

Zhao Jingyi also responded: "Okay, Aunt Sun, I'll go open the door right away!"

Auntie Sun asked two people to carry the TV back to Zhao Jingyi's west wing. After the phone was put back in its place, Auntie Sun took the two people away. They went back to the courtyard to continue the discussion. After reporting, they could go back to their homes to rest. After all, they had to go to work tomorrow.

Li Yuping was still a little unhappy and said, "Now I won't have any peace and quiet. I'm sure he'll come to use the TV often!"

Zhao Jingyi said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. My husband and I will be moving to Hong Kong soon. You will have to take care of yourself in the future!"

Zhao Jingyi said it casually, and Li Yuping was very annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. This is how it is in this era. If you have a TV at home, you can't stop others from watching it. If others put pressure on you to study, you have to contribute it to let everyone watch it together!

Old Yang didn't care at all and advised Li Yuping, "I still have a few TVs here. If you want to use them, I'll leave two more for you. This one can be directly given to the hospital for public use. Of course, you can't say that. You can only borrow it. That way they will cherish it."

Li Yuping also sighed after hearing what Lao Yang said, "This is the situation in China. I know that too. I just feel a little depressed and a little emotional! Just leave me another TV when you leave. I will talk to Aunt Sun about this one later and store it at her house first!"

Old Yang asked Li Yuping again, "After we leave, are you going to live in the company or continue to live here?"

Li Yuping thought for a moment and said, "I'll just go back home and live there! I can just take these appliances back when the time comes."

Lao Yang thought for a moment and said, "That's good. Someone will take care of you. The military area is relatively safe. I wouldn't feel comfortable if you lived here alone!"

The three of them sat at the table and drank some water for a while before washing up and going back to the house to rest...

The next morning, after Lao Yang sent Li Yuping away, he took Zhao Jingyi to visit the Air Force compound. The main purpose was to meet Zhao Tiehe and discuss with him the next recruitment. After all, Zhao Tiehe was going to develop in Nanyang with him, and his current situation must be clear to arrange the next progress.

After the two arrived at Zhao's house, they found Zhao Changkong and Zhao Tiehe were there. So Zhao Jingyi chatted with her mother in the living room, while Lao Yang followed Zhao Changkong and Zhao Tiehe to the study. After some communication, under the guidance of Zhao Changkong, Zhao Tiehe will retire in two days and start to cooperate with Lao Yang in recruiting and transferring retired soldiers. After gathering 300 people from the navy, army and air force, they will set off to Hong Kong together, and then be sent to the Nanyang base by Changle Company for stationing.

Lao Yang planned to recruit mainly Indonesian locals and Hong Kong residents as mercenaries in the early stage, supplemented by retired soldiers from the mainland, to form a mercenary team of 3000 to 5000 people. Lao Yang promised that after arriving in Nanyang, he would first build an airport and open flights to facilitate the flow of personnel. The navy, army and air force would be built at the same time, and one-on-one training and teaching would be implemented. This required Lao Yang to prepare at least three warships and five fighter jets to form a relatively complete formation.

The three of them were drinking tea in the study while discussing the plan for Nanyang, and time passed quickly. When Zhao Jingyi came up and asked the three of them to go downstairs for dinner, it was already 12:00.

The Zhao family's quality of life has also improved dramatically recently. There are eight dishes and a soup on the table, as well as a basket of rice and steamed buns. Each dish has meat, which is one of the best standards in the compound. These are the changes caused by Lao Yang's arrival. The supplies Lao Yang put into the army can be used by the entire Kyoto Military Region for a month if they are used sparingly. It is inevitable that the senior leaders eat well. The gathering of resources to the senior leaders is unchangeable, not to mention the support of Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi, so Lao Yang's hospitality is of very high standards.

After lunch, Lao Yang discussed the recruitment of other arms with Zhao Changkong and Zhao Tiehe in the study. Lao Yang planned to hand over all the work in mainland China to Zhao Tiehe, and Lao Yang returned to Hong Kong to receive and transport the troops. The compensation paid to the country would also be replenished as soon as possible according to the number of personnel.

After the discussion, it was still early, so Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi left the Air Force compound and returned to the slum.
