The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 596
The various measures that Gao Jiu took after arriving in the Golden Triangle area were all to help the local residents. Generally speaking, they were generally welcomed by the local people, and it is normal for some people to have opinions.But it's a little unusual to gather a crowd to go to the administrative committee to protest.

Gao Jiu was very curious, so he followed Maranian to the administrative committee.

Sure enough, there were a lot of local people standing at the gate of the administrative committee's yard, about 70 to [-] people.They were noisy, and some of them were more emotional, but there was no violent conflict with the Self-Defense Forces.

After the incident, Tagawa had already arrived here first.He commanded the Self-Defense Force of the Administrative Committee to maintain order at the scene. When he saw Gao Jiu coming, he shouted loudly, "Master Jiu is here. If you have any questions, you can report to Master Jiu."

Although Gao Jiu didn't serve on the administrative committee, the people in the Golden Triangle area knew who was in charge here.Gao Jiu's legendary deeds are also widely spread among the local people and have a high prestige.

Hearing that Gao Jiu was coming, everyone stopped shouting and waited for him to come over.

Gao Jiu smiled and waved to everyone. When he came to the crowd, he said cordially: "Fathers and folks, what difficulties have you encountered? Or have any grievances? You can tell me. As long as I can solve it, I will definitely help you of."

Among the protesters, there were several leaders, and one of them, a middle-aged man who spoke Chinese better, said, "Gao Jiuye, the administrative committee said that people from other places or local residents will be treated equally. But When there is a real problem, it’s not like that at all, it’s not fair at all.”

"Yeah, yeah, it's not fair." Many people echoed.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "What is unfair? Tell me about it."

The middle-aged man told the whole story on behalf of everyone.

It turns out that there are many factories and various public institutions in the northern part of the Golden Triangle, providing many jobs. These jobs have relatively high incomes, but most of these jobs are occupied by foreigners. The local people are only Few people were able to join in, and local residents complained that it was unfair.

Gao Jiu asked Mara Nian about the recruitment of public officials, and Ouyang Xue about the employment of industrial enterprises, and understood what the problem was.

It turns out that most of the local people have low levels of education, and many are even illiterate. In addition, the local language is very complicated, and there are actually 11 different languages ​​circulating in the Golden Triangle area.There is also an official language, which is English, but there are very few people who can speak English. Even if they know some English, they can only carry out simple oral communication, and they can't understand the text at all.

Neither the administrative unit nor the factory was willing to recruit such people, which was understandable, but it also caused conflicts.

After Gao Jiu thought about it, he asked someone to bring a box of anti-Japanese medicine, and the instructions inside were written in both Chinese and English.Gao Jiu picked up the instruction manual and said to the people who came to protest, "Which one of you can understand what's on it?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After a long time, only one or two people came up to identify it. After reading for a long time, they did not understand the above content.Everyone felt very embarrassed.

Gao Jiu said: "Fellow folks! Let me ask you a question. Whether you are doing handicrafts or farming, if someone comes to your house to help but he can't do it, will you still hire him?"

Everyone was questioned, and a bamboo weaving craftsman said: "Someone wants to be an apprentice with me. If he is too stupid, I won't take it either."

Gao Jiu said: "That's the reason. All of you are too poorly educated. The machinery and equipment in the factory need to be literate to operate. If those public officials can write documents, you can't do it. If you are the boss of the factory Or the leadership of the executive committee, do you hire people with no culture?"

Everyone was very frustrated, and a young man said: "Then we can learn."

Gao Jiu asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zuo Linwu." The young man said shyly when Gao Jiu asked him.

Gao Jiu said: "Very good! Zuo Linwu is right. It doesn't matter if you don't have education. We can all learn from it. The administrative committee will build more industrial enterprises and expand business units in the future. As long as you improve your education level, Are you afraid that you won’t be able to find a job if you are competent for the relevant work?”

A young man in his 20s said: "I haven't studied culture since I was a child, what should I do if I can't learn it?"

Gao Jiu said: "Those who work in factories and those who work on administrative committees are all human beings. If they can learn it, so can you. As long as you work hard to learn, there is nothing you can't learn.

Now I can promise you here that as long as you work hard to learn the culture and be qualified for the corresponding jobs, I guarantee that all new companies entering in the future will give priority to local residents under the same conditions.

As for how everyone learns culture?The Administrative Council will certainly make it easier for you.Do you think this is good?We will immediately hold a meeting to popularize cultural education in the entire Golden Triangle area. This will take a little time.You all go back first, and the Administrative Committee will issue relevant announcements soon. "

Everyone listened to Gao Jiu's opinion, Zuo Linwu said: "Master Jiu, we all believe in you, then we will go back and wait."

The crowd dispersed.

Gao Jiu said to Maranian: "You inform the relevant departments of the Administrative Committee to invite the leaders of all the tribes in the Golden Triangle area to hold a seminar to promote culture and education."

In fact, this situation was expected by Gao Jiu. After Gao Jiu entered the Golden Triangle, he did not carry out cultural education with great fanfare, but set up some schools, mainly for Chinese.This is not discrimination against local residents, but respect for them, because different local ethnic groups have their own different languages. If Chinese is popularized by force, they will be disgusted and even fiercely resisted.Gao Jiu must let them learn Chinese voluntarily.

Nowadays, people of all ethnic groups in the Golden Triangle envy those who work in public institutions and factories. They have the desire to learn Chinese.

Gao Jiu said at the meeting: "If everyone in an army speaks different languages, and the officers speak but the soldiers don't understand, can such an army fight?

In a factory, if the workers don't understand the engineer's words, there will definitely be troubles.Therefore, in our Golden Triangle region, there should be a unified language and culture. "

More than [-] leaders of various tribes in the Golden Triangle area attended the meeting, and everyone understood what Gao Jiu said.

In the past, because the two adjacent villages belonged to different tribes, they could not understand each other when they spoke, and life was very inconvenient, but everyone was reluctant to let them give up their own language and learn other people's language .It is also very difficult for their people to go outside to do business due to the language barrier, which seriously restricts the development of the tribal economy and culture.

Gao Jiu said: "I have a suggestion for everyone. The administrative committee fully respects the language habits of each tribe. Everyone should continue to preserve their own cultural traditions in their daily lives and learn Chinese and English on this basis."

Gao Jiu said not only to learn Chinese, but also to learn English, because this area is a British colony.For a long time, the British have forcibly promoted English education, and English has become the official language in the local area and has been popularized to a large extent.

Gao Jiu went on to say: "I can assure everyone that the administrative committee will not forcefully promote the learning of Chinese or English like the British colonists did. Whether to learn Chinese or English is entirely up to everyone's voluntary. However, corresponding learning conditions will be provided for Come and learn."

After Gao Jiu finished speaking, Mara Nian, on behalf of the Administrative Committee, announced relevant measures to promote Chinese and English education in the Golden Triangle area, mainly including:

Establish literacy classes in all the villages in the Golden Triangle, and establish bilingual primary schools in villages with more than 500 people or in places where the combined population of several villages reaches more than 500.Establish middle schools in towns with more than 2000 people or surrounding areas with more than 2000 residents, and build a comprehensive university and a vocational technical college in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

All residents in the Golden Triangle region, regardless of gender, age or age, can receive education, and the education is free. People over the age of 18 who participate in off-the-job studies can get a certain living allowance.

All women have the same right to education as men and enjoy the same treatment.

Among the students studying in the school, those who have excellent grades will receive scholarships and so on.

The leaders of the various tribes have no objection to such favorable conditions provided by the administrative committee.They said that after going back, they persuaded the people of their own ethnic group to accept the Chinese-English bilingual education advocated by the administrative committee.

For such a result, Gao Jiu is also very happy.Enabling the public to voluntarily participate in cultural learning has laid a good foundation for improving the cultural and educational level of the entire Golden Triangle region.

Various businesses in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle are booming, but Gao Jiu is not in a hurry to promote it to other areas of the Golden Triangle. On the one hand, Gao Jiu still needs to continue to explore a set of mature and effective management experience and a healthy and effective development model. There is another reason. That is the economic pressure.

So far, most of the capital investment in the entire Golden Triangle region has been provided by the Taohuashan guerrillas headed by Gao Jiu. Although Gao Jiu has many profitable industries, the pressure is still enormous.This requires the gradual development of the economy. Only when the Golden Triangle area itself generates income, equal to the investment, and starts to make a profit, can Gao Jiu further expand the occupied area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

Nowadays, a large number of schools need to be built in the Golden Triangle area to promote free education, which is another astronomical expenditure.Gao Jiu must broaden his sources of economic income.

The British Governor's Office in Myanmar restored its rule over most of Myanmar, and its economic capacity has also been greatly restored.For Gao Jiu's help, they would naturally reciprocate and express their gratitude.

Gao Jiu met with the British Governor in Myanmar and discussed with him about business cooperation in the Golden Triangle area, the Kokang area and the areas controlled by the Myanmar Governor's Palace.

Gao Jiu has established many enterprises affiliated to Taohuashan in Ruili, Kokang and the Golden Triangle. Apart from selling their products to the mainland, Myanmar is also a good market, which can earn a lot of foreign exchange for the Taohuashan guerrillas.

In order to thank Gao Jiu for his help, and for Gao Jiu to continue to help the Burmese Governor's Office resist the Japanese invasion, the British Governor's Office in Myanmar provided Gao Jiu with very favorable business conditions.

Not only that, but also agreed with Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas to develop several large mines in Myanmar, and even provided Gao Jiu with two large jade mines for free.

At the same time, he promised that if the Taohuashan guerrillas needed to send troops to fight in the future, they would provide supplies and corresponding military expenses.

In this way, Gao Jiu has expanded a channel of economic growth.

German engineers Leo and Lucas have been transferred from Taohuashan to take charge of the construction of the arsenal.

Today's arsenal already has mature products. In addition to the production of ordinary rifles and bullets, there are also special products such as rocket launchers, radio infantry radio stations and radars. The supply of products exceeds demand, and orders cannot be received.Today is the age of war, and the easiest way to make money is arms.

In Nanwen River Valley, Gao Jiu is investing in the construction of the largest arsenal in Southeast Asia.

In order to attract talents, Gao Jiu offers generous conditions.For experts and engineers from various countries who are willing to come to the Golden Triangle, Gao Jiu will provide them with generous salaries and living conditions such as villas and cars.

In this regard, Xiao Yatong and Li Shasha both helped a lot.They mobilized a large number of technical personnel from the United States and the United Kingdom, and Gao Jiu also recruited many technical personnel from Germany and Sulian.For a while, in the northern part of the Golden Triangle, blond foreigners can be seen everywhere.

Today's Golden Triangle area has changed from the previous desolation and poverty to a cornucopia.In order to defend the fruits of victory, Gao Jiu's pressure has also increased a lot.

Gao Jiu decided to expand the Taohuashan Special Warfare Brigade into the Taohuashan Special Warfare Corps. Gao Jiu was appointed as the commander-in-chief, with 350 people in the squadron directly under his jurisdiction, and Guo Hengming was the squadron leader.

Zhang Quan served as the captain of the first team of the special warfare team, and Wang Zhankui served as the captain of the second special warfare team.

The self-defense force of the construction company was expanded into a self-defense corps with a total strength of 3600, with Tagawa as the commander.

The self-defense force affiliated to the administrative committee was expanded to 1200 people, and the basic militia was 5500 people.

With such a powerful armed force, Gao Jiu has full confidence in defending the security of the Golden Triangle area.

On this day, Madam sent a telegram asking Gao Jiu to go to Chongqing.
