Tongwan Town was located in the west of Ping An County, separated from Ping An County by three villages. It was a town with a large population and agriculture. Although the industry and commerce were not as prosperous as Wan Jia Town, there were many agricultural livestock and small producers here. The overall prosperity was better than Wan Jia Town.
The key was that there was a large population here. Tongwan Town, which was close to the provincial road, had a strong economy. There were a large number of caravans passing through here, some from Inner Mongolia, some from Mongolia, and some from the south.
Even so, due to the constant war here, Tongwan Town itself did not have anything impressive. Such a wealthy provincial official road only supported some hotels and restaurants in Tongwan Town.
Now that Tongwan Town had been taken over by Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong was eating breakfast in a restaurant near the provincial road. Zhang Dabiao and a few special forces stood beside him.
"Dabiao, pick a few capable people from our Tuan Tuan Department to govern Tongwan Town. I think there's a lot to be done!”
After Li Yunlong finished his breakfast, he held his teacup and looked at Tongwan Town on the side of the official road.
"Regiment commander, just wait and see. Not only are there many powerful political workers in our regiment headquarters, even the various battalions have many talents in this field.”
Zhang Dabiao was sitting at the side eating a big fried dough stick when he was called over by Li Yunlong.
Qiu Tianming, who was holding a bowl of egg soup, was attracted by Li Yunlong's words after a few sips. Qiu Tianming was originally a county magistrate in the national army. Because of the number of people in the security group and the reorganization of some of the scattered central army, he was appointed as the commander of a puppet division by the Japanese army.
The 15,000 troops gathered outside the hotel was the result of Li Yunlong gathering the troops from the east and west sides of Ma Jiapo, the recruit training camp, and even Qiu Tianming's troops.
It could be said that there was a sea of people near the official road of Tongwan Town. There were infantry formations in the barracks, causing the passing merchants and the surrounding farmers to pay attention to this place in surprise.
Fortunately, Li Yun Long's new regiment had strict discipline, so the merchants and farmers did not have much resistance.
The reason why so many troops were gathered here was because Li Yun Long wanted to reorganize these troops to better display their combat strength and consolidate his own defense zone.
Li Yunlong had originally come to Tongwan Town with this plan. However, there were more than 15,000 people and many prisoners of war. These people had been fed a lot of food and money by the horses. Although they had obtained a lot in the past and had the support of the system, they could not just sit around and do nothing. Li Yunlong did not want to rely on the system all the time.
Li Yun Long had booked the entire restaurant. The lobby on the first floor, all the larger private rooms on the second floor, and even all the private rooms on the third floor were all in use. All the people eating here were regimental and battalion level officers. Other than that, there was also the First Squadron of the Special Forces.
The low-ranking officers and soldiers were waiting outside. Their breakfast was provided by this restaurant and several other restaurants.
Li Yunlong had to spend 500 yuan a day just to book the restaurant. Of course, this included three meals a day. 500 yuan was not considered expensive.
Even so, the breakfast for 15,000 people outside was still a huge sum of money.
Qiu Tianming had long seen through Li Yunlong's thoughts, but he was an outsider, so he wanted to say it but did not dare to.
Geng Liang could be considered to be Li Yunlong's closest subordinate. His squad had all changed into new military uniforms, and the original 150 people had grown to almost 500 people. Compared to Li Yunlong's original 1st Battalion, they had more people, and their weapons were more powerful.
This was all because of the recruit training camp and the addition of the puppet army. Now, Geng Liang was looking forward to the regiment commander's reorganization as soon as possible. He had fought many times these days and had a lot of military achievements. Geng Liang hoped to be the battalion commander of a battalion and fight against the Japanese in the future.
"Regiment commander, hurry up and reorganize. Our brothers are waiting!”
Geng Liang was the leader of the small team in the district. He was only a company-level officer. It had been more than half an hour since he finished his breakfast. He walked into the restaurant from outside and came to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong did not have to worry about reorganizing now. He could reorganize at any time. The most important thing now was to grasp the economy. Otherwise, these 10,000 people would be scattered without the help of the Japanese.
"Get lost, I'm thinking about something right now!”
Geng Liang was stunned by Li Yunlong's words and could only leave tactfully.
Li Yunlong selected a few of the officers and chatted with them. He found that although they spoke a little, they were not very good. These were the political work officers who were better than the regimental officers.
It was not that Li Yunlong had not thought of recruiting talents from the brigade commanders and division commanders, but he was afraid that he would not be able to order them around. Now, he wanted to create an offensive weapon that could integrate logistics and combat.
"Guild Leader, why don't I do it?"
Qiu Tianming mustered up his courage and said.
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he saw Qiu Tianming's bearing and wise eyes. According to Li Yunlong's understanding, Qiu Tianming was a very humble person. As long as he said something, he would usually do things better than he originally said.
"Regiment Commander, I used to be the county head of Yu County for five years. I have some experience in local governance!”
Qiu Tianming said.
Li Yunlong's jaw almost dropped when he heard this. Qiu Tianming had been the county head of a large county for many years. Moreover, Qiu Tianming was a good person. It was obvious that he was a practical talent.
How could it be wrong for a county head to be the mayor of a township?
"Alright, Brother Qiu, I'll give you the mayor position. Although it's a waste of your talent, I'll give you some command of the troops. The local economy and even the management rights will all be given to you.”
Li Yunlong said excitedly. Even so, he would still consider the candidate for the county head carefully.
"Thank you for your help, Leader. I, Qiu Tianming, have nothing to repay you with. I will govern Tongwan Town well and make it more prosperous. I will earn more money for Leader and let the population here increase dramatically.”
Qiu Tianming said excitedly.
Qiu Tianming and Li Yunlong talked about the situation here. Qiu Tianming immediately said a few things, which Li Yunlong immediately agreed with.
Among them, Qiu Tianming said to build several markets near the provincial official road, including livestock markets, industrial and commercial products markets, and agricultural markets.
Qiu Tianming wanted to build a leather factory around these markets to produce lettuce, leather belts, leather shoes, and leather coats.
In this way, he had established a relationship with many herdsmen in Inner Mongolia. He could let the cheap cowhide from Inner Mongolia enter the leather factory to earn profits. He could also make military leather shoes and belts for the entire regiment, which were much better than the original cloth shoes.
These leather products could even be sold throughout Shanxi and even the whole country. It could be said that the future was good.
In addition, Qiu Tianming also mentioned a series of management measures such as canned beef, which made Li Yunlong very tempted. Not only did he let Qiu Tianming become the mayor of Tongwan Town, but he also handed over the entire area of the new regiment to him and appointed him as the mayor of the new regiment.
Li Yunlong was in a much better mood after completing this. There were many industrial equipment in the system that he could exchange for. He could completely build his own defense zone to be very beautiful. The equipment capacity was much stronger than the industrial equipment in the United States, Britain, and other countries. He could completely squeeze his domestic market and earn a lot of money.
After chatting with Qiu Tianming for a while, Li Yunlong ordered all the regiment-level and battalion-level officers to finish their meals and start reorganizing the troops outside.
This time, Li Yunlong decided to turn these 10,000 soldiers into a powerful battle team that could easily defeat an enemy regiment and fight an exploration team or even a division head-on.
