This chapter was blocked again, I don't know how to modify it, so I can only rewrite and upload it.

The income of more than 70% of families in Wenshan area is related to planting Yao millet, and many families do not know how to grow food at all.

Although the price of the drug is expensive, the families who grow the yam are very poor. The ya flakes they roughly process can only be sold to local drug dealers, earning very meager income.In addition, the men in the family smoke ya tablets, and they have to buy refined ya tablets, which are much more expensive, so the life of every family is very difficult.

To improve people's living standards, the only way is to quit yao opium. The first thing to do in Wenshan area is to prohibit the cultivation of yao millet.

For this, Gao Jiu had already made preparations in advance.

After discussing with the administrative committee, it was decided to completely abolish the cultivation of yao millet in the Wenshan area, and at the same time confiscate the finished and semi-finished ya tablets in the hands of everyone.

In order not to arouse opposition from the public, Gao Jiu invested a large sum of money to purchase finished and semi-finished yao flakes at the local average market price. The yield of yao flakes grown in the fields must be estimated and given a reasonable price. Purchase at a reasonable price, and then destroy all the drugs in a centralized manner.

All villages and towns will be organized by the administrative committee, and the business experts in the research institute will guide the planting of grains, sugar cane and other crops, and the cultivation of yao millet in the Wenshan area will be cut off from then on.

The construction workers' self-defense force will strengthen patrols around the Onsan area, crack down on drug traffickers, and prevent the outside world from inflowing drugs.

Set up detoxification groups in villages with more than [-] people, and conduct compulsory detoxification for addicted users.

For the administrative committee, Gao Jiu gave full play to their role and handed over all these tasks to the administrative committee to complete.

To completely solve the drug problem, coercion alone will not do.Although the profit of growing millet is not high, it is still higher than that of growing grains.If we want the people to willingly change their previous production habits, they must get more economic benefits.

In this regard, Gao Jiu decided to subsidize grain purchases to farmers who grow grains, so that their income is higher than the income from growing yao millet.

Organize the self-defense force of construction workers to assist the people in reclaiming wasteland and increase the area for planting grains to increase the income of farmers.

In order to encourage local farmers to plant cash crops, especially sugarcane, Gao Jiu decided to build a large sugar factory in Mawan Town to purchase sugarcane from farmers.

In order for farmers to become rich, it is not enough to rely solely on farming. We must vigorously develop industry.Gao Jiu asked the research institute to conduct an investigation, adapt measures to local conditions, establish a corresponding industrial system based on local resources, recruit local surplus labor to work in the factory, carry out infrastructure construction, especially the construction of transportation facilities, employ a large number of local people, and improve the quality of the local people. level of income.

In order to help the local people get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, Gao Jiu decided to build a local pharmaceutical factory to produce anti-Japanese medicine and essential oils as the main products, and the products are directly supplied to countries and regions around the Golden Triangle.

After the warlord Wen Likun was eliminated, the large tracts of land occupied by Wen Likun and his core subordinates were returned to the administrative committee, and the land was distributed to the local poor farmers.

In just three months, thanks to the efforts of Gao Jiu and the administrative committee, the entire Wenshan area has been swept away from the decay and backwardness of the past, and replaced by a thriving scene.

During these three months, great progress has been made in the detoxification work. A large number of addicts have been detoxified, which has greatly increased the labor force in the Wenshan area.

Due to the mobilization of the enthusiasm of the majority of farmers, the work of the administrative committee has been carried out quite smoothly.

The Administrative Committee also established a self-defense force of 500 people. The entire Onsan area has full-time and half-time armed personnel, with a total of more than 5500 people.

Gao Jiu sent a special force to strengthen the training of the Self-Defense Force under the Administrative Committee.The Construction Company Self-Defense Forces are responsible for the training of militia organizations in various villages and towns, and have continuously enhanced the combat effectiveness of the armed forces affiliated to the Administrative Council.

Wang Guisheng and others heard about Gao Jiu's actions in Wenshan area, and led the Kokang District Administrative Committee to Wenshan area for investigation. The results of the investigation surprised them.

They saw that in towns and cities, factories were being erected, roads were being paved, and schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and residences were being built.There is no more millet in the countryside, and it is replaced by various crops.

The people they saw here before were all hopeless and numb faces, but now they saw vivid faces full of hope for life.People's eyes are shining with enthusiasm for labor and longing for a better life in the future.

The members of the Kokang Self-Government Committee have inspected the Wenshan area for a whole week, and they decided to follow the Wenshan area to carry out reforms after returning.

In the past three months, Gao Jiu spent more effort than the previous year. Some ordinary and trivial things cost him more energy than Gao Jiu's defeating thousands of enemies. energy.

However, Gao Jiu is very pleased with the achievements made in the Wenshan area.With the results of reform in Wenshan area, he is full of confidence in transforming the entire Golden Triangle area.

This morning, Long Yingyuan led a convoy to Mawan Town.This convoy brought a large amount of factory equipment and more than 300 recruited workers.Most of these workers are Han Chinese. So far, this is the fourth batch.Today, the number of Han people in Wenshan has increased by more than 8 people. After the residential area is completed, many family members will move here. As time goes by, the proportion of Han people will increase greatly.

Along with Long Yingyuan, there is also Long Guobi.Long Yingyuan kept telling her that the conditions in Wenshan area are still very poor, and she was worried that she would come and suffer.But this young lady has made up her mind that even if life is inconvenient, she must come to work in Mawan Town.She said that she was Gao Jiu's administrative secretary, and Gao Jiu was here, so she, the administrative secretary, had to come.

Gao Jiu also had a headache when he saw Long Guobi, saying that this place is wild and backward, unlike the city, where there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and the sanitary conditions are not good.The most important thing is that bathing is very difficult, and he wants to use these difficulties to scare Long Guobi away.

To be honest, just one difficulty in taking a bath made Long Guobi a little embarrassed.However, seeing that the dormitory areas were almost completed, she knew that these difficulties would be resolved soon.So, she said that she was not afraid of difficulties and insisted on staying.

Gao Jiu had no choice but to agree to her request.

This time, Charlie Li, who came specially from Peach Blossom Mountain, came with the convoy.Because a large general hospital was going to be built in Mawan Town, Gao Jiu specially asked Li Charlie to preside over the construction of the hospital.

Before Charlie came here, he recruited a large number of medical workers in Chongqing and Kunming, and they will come to report one after another when the construction of the hospital is completed.

When Li Charlie's wife and children first came to Peach Blossom Mountain, they always wanted to leave Peach Blossom Mountain and then go to America.After getting used to the life in Taohuashan, I never wanted to leave again.This time they also came to the Wenshan area with Li Charlie. Seeing the thriving scene of the Wenshan area, they decided to take root here with their husbands.

During this period of time, Gao Jiu stayed away from the war, almost forgetting that this is the most intense moment of the world war.

Chongqing.The mansion of the big man.

The big man hasn't heard from Gao Jiu for a while, and he's been too busy these days, busy strengthening contacts with Britain, Mi and other countries, he really forgot about Gao Jiu.Otherwise, if he wanted to know, someone would tell him right away.

While having breakfast, he asked, "Ma'am, what is Gao Jiu doing recently?" He knew that the aviation committee chaired by his wife had very close contact with Gao Jiu, so there must be news about Gao Jiu from his wife.

Sure enough, the lady said: "Two days ago, I sent a telegram to Gao Jiu and entrusted him to purchase a batch of aviation equipment in the United States. Now he has gone to a place called Wenshan in Shan State, Myanmar, where he set up an administrative committee. , to manage civil affairs."

The big man became interested in this matter and said: "Gao Jiu has never had any political ambitions, why did he go there to start civil affairs? It's simply not doing his job properly. Now there are devils everywhere, how big is Shan State in Myanmar? That place called Wenshan is at most the size of a county, so what's the point of him going there to be the king of the mountain?"

If Gao Jiu was not tossing about in China, he would not be involved in the interests of the national government. He could do as much as he liked, and big shots would not care, he just felt pity.

Today, the Anti-Japanese War is in full swing, and Gao Jiu, who can fight, has gone to a remote mountainous area, which is a waste of talent.

Madam didn't think so, she said: "The place Gao Jiu went to is the Golden Triangle area known for its drug production. He only went there for a few months, and he wiped out all the drug dealers in Wenshan area, cutting off all drug dealers. It has planted all the yao millet and basically put an end to the bad habit of drug smoking among the local residents, which is a remarkable feat.”

"Oh, there is such a thing?" The big man became more interested. Ya films have caused serious damage to China, and the national government has been unable to solve this problem. Especially after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, ya films were not only the main source of income for many local warlords, but even used ya films as military pay to distribute to soldiers.

The accompanying capital of the Nationalist Government is now in Chongqing, and the yakuza in the Sichuan area is very rampant, and it has also dealt a great blow to the economy of the rear.

He said: "Madam, let Gao Jiu write a report to see what good experience he has for reference."

After the affairs of the pharmaceutical factory were straightened out, Ouyang Xue returned to the aviation committee at the invitation of his wife and continued to serve as his wife's administrative secretary and the spokesperson of the aviation committee.

This morning, Ouyang Xue came to report to his wife about the arrangements for the meeting in the past few days.Madam said: "Ruoxue, please inform Gao Jiu to have a detailed understanding of what he is doing in the Wenshan area, especially regarding the prohibition of du, and write a report. Your brother-in-law wants to take a look. "

Ouyang Xue said: "This matter is more complicated. He is very busy there. I want to go there in person and help him write this report."

Madam knew that this was because she wanted to meet Gao Jiu.If you want to write a report on the local situation, there is an administrative committee familiar with the situation there. Write.

The madam suppressed her laugh and said, "You're right, it's very remote there, people are illiterate, it might be very difficult to write a survey report, I really need you, a former reporter, to summarize it for them. Grid."

Having said that, Madam still couldn't help laughing.

Ouyang Xue's face turned red, and she was embarrassed to say any more.

The lady said: "You can go if you want. I will temporarily find someone to replace your current job."

"Thank you, cousin." Ouyang Xue said happily.

Ouyang Xue was eager to see Gao Jiu, after she left the aviation committee, she went to the street and bought a lot of things that she thought Gao Jiu would be useful for, and the next morning, she flew to Kunming by plane.

After arriving in Kunming, Ouyang Xue did not rush to Mawan Town according to Gao Jiu's request. She stayed in Kunming to purchase a large amount of supplies, waiting for Long Yingyuan to arrive, and then went to Mawan Town with Long Yingyuan.

After the Japanese army captured Thailand, part of the 23rd Division defeated the Thai army and continued to attack northwestward. The Japanese army forward and an infantry brigade reached the east bank of the Mae Sai River, preparing to cross the river and enter the Golden Triangle area.

Li Chengwu's Taohuashan Special Warfare No. [-] Squadron bombarded them after discovering the movement of the Japanese troops on the other side of the river.

The Japanese army also fought back with artillery fire. They mainly used Type [-] infantry artillery, and Li Chengwu and others mainly carried mortars.

Li Chengwu was very angry and decided to retaliate against the Japanese army. That night, he led all his team members to smuggle across the Maesai River and started a night battle with the Japanese army.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to stop crossing the river and retreated 30 miles, waiting for reinforcements.

Li Chengwu refused to give up and led the Taohuashan guerrillas to continue to entangle. The Japanese army was very uncomfortable with the tactics of the Taohuashan guerrillas and was forced to retreat another 50 miles.

Li Chengwu and others continued their activities on the east bank of the Maesai River and rescued a British army before crossing the river and returning to the west bank of the Maesai River.

This British army is the remnant of the 152nd regiment of the British Huang Family Army, with a total of more than 650 people.After being attacked by the Japanese army, they retreated all the way west, hoping to enter Burma and join the British army stationed in Burma. The Japanese army pursued them closely and finally surrounded them. Thanks to Li Chengwu and others' timely action, they were rescued. down.

The head of the British Army had heard of Gao Jiu in Peach Blossom Mountain, and accompanied by Li Chengwu, he came to Mawan Town to meet Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu warmly entertained the British army, supplemented them with some food, and then sent someone to escort them to Yangon.

The British Governor in Burma expressed his gratitude to Gao Jiu. Now that he was in a tight spot and couldn't afford any money, he gave Gao Jiu two large boxes of Burmese jade, which was regarded as an expression of his gratitude.

When Gao Jiu saw the two big boxes of Burmese jade, he didn't know what to do with it for a while, so he asked Wang Zhankui and others, as well as members of the administrative committee, to pick two pieces each.He planned to send people back to Ruili to sell the rest for Dayang.

Long Guobi also rummaged through the box. She couldn't tell the good from the bad, so she asked Gao Jiu to help pick it out.Gao Jiu pushed that she didn't know what to do, and asked her to find a knowledgeable person to help her choose. As a result, she was very unhappy and lost her temper at Long Yingyuan again.

On this day, Gao Jiu received a report that the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army had crossed the Mei Sai River and was heading towards the Wenshan area.
