As long as Chu Zian had a large amount of food in his hands, he would not be afraid of the local tyrants restricting him. At the same time, he could also settle the refugees and the people under his rule well. In fact, the people of China were very simple and honest. As long as they could eat their fill, they would be very honest, but not many people could do this.
However, the premise was that there had to be a government team that could operate well to solve these problems. Chu Zian spent about three days to sort out these things. At the same time, he set up a number of recruitment points in the county town and began to recruit refugees to open up wasteland and improve road facilities.
During this period of time, many porridge stalls were opened in various places. The porridge they gave was not enough to fill people's stomachs. It could only ensure that they would not starve to death. That was all.
"Bang bang bang!"
"We came over to take a look. The county head has given us food. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can receive food. Hurry up and go to the registration point to register.”A government official started to announce the news.
When the refugees, who looked like walking corpses, and some of the local citizens heard the shouts, their eyes immediately revealed a trace of brilliance. They quickly headed to the various registration points. In just a day, thousands of people had registered.
As time passed, in just a few days, most of the refugees were settled outside the city. A large number of tents were set up in the open space outside the city. Although they were very simple, they could guarantee that they had a place to live.
The rice that Chu Zian gave out was real. Everyone could get at least one jin of rice for a day's work. This was distributed according to the amount of work each person did.
In just a few days, more than 20,000 people had been mobilized to start the construction in full swing.
"Not enough cement and bricks? It seemed that he needed to build some factories!”A lot of infrastructure needed to be repaired and built, but these facilities required a lot of cement and bricks.
Although cement was not rare in China, it was not cheap. Moreover, the local cement factory was very small.
The industrial center of the Red Alert Base had already been established a long time ago, and now it was time to put it to use.
The industrial center contained all the industrial machinery and equipment from before 1935, ranging from small matches to water forging machines that weighed tens of thousands of tons. The industrial equipment inside was very complete. As long as it was used well, it was enough to establish a complete industrial facility.
However, just having industrial equipment was not enough. To build a brick factory and a cement factory, they needed raw materials. Some of the raw materials were not available locally. They could only buy them. In the end, they still needed money.
There was no need to count on the county government's finances at all. Although the taxes of the people had been collected into the 21st century, the county government had no money left.
Of course, Chu Zian had already issued a notice to exempt all the miscellaneous taxes. Other than land taxes and land taxes, hundreds of other taxes were exempted.
When the people of the whole county received the news, they were immediately shocked. The taxes were like a mountain pressing on them, making them unable to breathe. Now that Chu Zian announced that they would be exempted from the exorbitant taxes, it could be seen how ecstatic they were.
It was precisely because of this order that Chu Zian gained the hearts of the people of Yanyuan County in a short period of time. This was exactly the effect that Chu Zian wanted.
Fortunately, news came from Kunming that they had brought tons of medicine and sold them. Besides, Long Yun wanted to do a long-term business, so the price he offered was relatively fair. He had earned about 1.2 million yuan and French currency, but this amount of money was not enough to develop the industry.
"Looks like I still have to think of a way to get money. Otherwise, there's no way to develop.”
"We still need both firearms and medicine!”Chu Zian rubbed his swollen forehead and made up his mind.
Anyway, he had already gained the hearts of the people and could be considered to have a firm foothold here. Moreover, the second company had also begun to be established. Although there were not many soldiers, it was not a big problem to defend Yanyuan County. He was not afraid of others spying on him.
Moreover, Chu Zian had already begun to recruit soldiers in Yanyuan County, planning to form an infantry regiment. It would take at least two to three months for this infantry regiment to form a certain combat effectiveness. Fortunately, the weapons and equipment of the army in this era did not require much knowledge from the soldiers.
"County Head, it's bad. We were attacked by bandits when we were clearing the wasteland in Hundred Herbs Bay. Fortunately, we had guards, so we didn't suffer much damage!”Just as Chu Zian was feeling troubled over the money issue, a staff member informed him of the news.
"Bandits? Are they the bandits from Lianshan?" Chu Zian asked as this word appeared in his mind.
"Yes, they stole a lot of food from our team!" The staff member nodded.”
"Bang!" Chu Zian slammed his palm on the table and scolded,""These damn bandits. I've been too busy recently to take care of them. They actually came to me to die.”
During the period when he took over the government affairs of Yanyuan County, Chu Zian was so busy due to his lack of experience that he selectively ignored the existence of this group of bandits. Now, it seemed that he had to clear these demons and ghosts before he could carry out his work properly.
Not only bandits, but also gangs, casinos, and opiums were all malignant tumors of society. This time, he was prepared to carry out a large-scale anti-crime operation. He had already settled all the refugees. Yanyuan County could no longer be in chaos.
