Long Mulan was in a good mood.
He had brought 25,000 soldiers from the Second Division all the way from Xi'an to Hanzhong. Along the way, small cities and towns had surrendered.
When they arrived in Hanzhong, they were even more delighted. They directly sent people out to welcome them and submitted without even fighting.
Although not fighting wasn't much of a contribution for a general, subduing the enemy without fighting was the best contribution!
After occupying Hanzhong, he took in a few thousand soldiers and left a brigade to guard the place.
Then, they split their forces to the east and took down Ankang, Shangluo, and other places. They directly took down the entire southern Shaanxi.
As a result, news of victory spread everywhere, and Nie Wenzhou was very happy.
A few days later, Nie Wenzhou brought the first batch of people to build the industrial base into Shaanxi.
Wang Dingfeng, a scholar who had been promoted from Yuxi, had been promoted from a small official in the county to the governor in less than a year.
Nie Wenzhou wouldn't personally deal with normal official matters, so most of the trivial matters were thrown to Wang Dingfeng.
As he worked with Nie Wenzhou, Nie Wenzhou was very satisfied with him.
As for the other county heads, they were transferred to take over a few big cities.
Following that was another wave of promotions. The large number of talents that he had trained previously were not enough.
Nie Wenzhou met Chen Shufan in Xi'an.
This person from the People's Party was confronting the Yasukuni Army formed by the People's Party. It was a little funny.
He had started to plant the Yapian at the beginning of last year, and the province's grain production had decreased greatly. He had also obtained a large amount of money from it.
This person could be used temporarily to give Wang Dingfeng some advice, but there would be no future.
As for Liu Zhenhua, an old warlord, he could just get lost.
Unfortunately, Nie Wenzhou didn't want to go too far. Otherwise, what if they didn't surrender in the future?
After a simple summary of the major events, there were still many things to do.
Last year, many yapians were planted in the province. It was not time to plant them this year (they could be planted from March to November every year), so they had to start making policies now.
Nie Wenzhou had set a harsh policy for Wang Dingfeng," The entire province is prohibited from planting. In the future, all land that is planted will be confiscated."
There were also various details under this clause, such as how many farms were planted, how much fine, hard labor, and so on.
Nie Wenzhou didn't have a strict policy on these people directly. It was impossible in the current social environment.
Many military and political officials and social elites had the experience of smoking yapian. The mainstream fishing vessels had always advocated the prohibition of planting, but no one advocated the prohibition of smoking.
Nie Wenzhou could only give up on their idea of planting. After all, how could the current landowners give up their land?
Do you want the land or the money?
This was a choice for them. It would depend on who dared to tread on the lightning.
Now, due to the annexation of land and social unrest for hundreds of years, there were many idle laborers and unemployed people. Even the tenants who rented the land from the landlord's family had more people than land.
That was why the landowners who controlled the land resources could raise the rent so high, but they still had to rent the land.
In order to participate in the reallocation of resources, other than participating forcefully, they had to guide these people to follow in the good direction.
Nie Wenzhou was handling government affairs in Xi'an. He also bought some civil industrial equipment and materials to develop Xi'an's economy and solve the problem of jobless and refugees inside and outside the city.
There were a lot of resources around here. Shaanxi did not lack coal, such as textile, chemical, coke, coal oil, etc., which could all be developed.
Moreover, there were more talents in the provincial capital here, unlike last year, where he had to kidnap them.
In the past few days, he had found many talents who knew the industry and handed them over to Long San to be responsible for selecting management personnel.
......
Someone was carrying out the Xi'an matter, and Nie Wenzhou had already arrived in Hanzhong.
The first batch of engineers and technicians who had followed him to Shaanxi had arrived first to measure and plan the steel base.
Due to the previous foundation, the preparatory work was now completed. All that was left was for Nie Wenzhou to buy the industrial equipment.
Although Nie Wenzhou's secret was not completely revealed, everyone knew about it.
Therefore, he directly bought the equipment in a courtyard surrounded by the army. Although no one saw it with their own eyes, in the eyes of everyone, it was a divine method.
After the technicians received the notice, they came to the courtyard and saw the same advanced and sophisticated equipment. They did not dare to ask how they got there and began their work seriously.
The iron ore here used to be mined manually on a small scale. Now, Nie Wenzhou directly used large-scale advanced semi-automatic equipment to mine. The scale was at least hundreds of thousands of tons a year.
But now, the construction of the mine, the environment of the Kuangqu, traffic, transportation, and so on were not things that could be done in a short time. Even if the ready-made equipment was there, it would take half a year to officially operate.
In short, someone would be in charge of the planning and construction of the steel base. Nie Wenzhou's job was to provide equipment, funds, and recruit talents.
Now that they had the foundation and experience of Yuxi, everyone had their own work direction. They would focus on construction if they needed to, and recruit if they needed to. Nie Wenzhou was no longer involved.
A few days later, Nie Wenzhou received a report that someone had fallen ill.
Nie Wenzhou still underestimated the people of this era's pursuit of industry. Many of the country's dilapidated factory equipment could be treated as treasures. Opening another factory would be exciting for a long time.
Now that they saw that this place was going to be bigger than Hanyang, just thinking about it made their blood boil. They wanted to finish all the projects immediately.
Nie Wenzhou had no choice but to issue a clear order for everyone to rest. They could work overtime, but rest was a must.
Although this would slow down the progress of the project, it did not matter. They did not lack anything now, but they lacked talent.
It was not that there were no schools at this time, but most of them were from primary school to middle school. Colleges were very rare.
However, if he wanted to achieve something and learn true talent, he really had to go to university.
At that time, the education system was five years of primary school, four to five years of middle school, and then university.
Nie Wenzhou had not started free compulsory education either. The government was not powerful enough, and society was unstable. It was a problem to eat.
According to the compulsory education provisions, it was illegal to not let children go to school.
But they would tell you,'Great, I don't have anything to eat!'
Therefore, it was not that developing education was bad, but that it was a matter of gradual progress.
Some families were in trouble, and even their daughters had to be sold to others as maids or child brides. Then how could you tell them that studying was the only way to have a future?
Nie Wenzhou had also considered this when he was in Xi'an. His solution was to unify the entire province as soon as possible and then recruit all the unemployed into the factory.
If they couldn't arrange it, they would expand the scale or build a new factory. In short, as long as these people's worries were resolved, the problem of education would not be a problem.
