The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 334: Crack Down on Crime
Liu Tao has always believed that the reason why social problems are so prominent is related to the return of educated youth to their hometowns and the large number of young people who have no jobs and do nothing all day long.

He felt that in a wealthy town like Panshan Town, as long as people were willing to work, even if it was farming, their lives would be much better than before, and there should not be any social security problems.

But now I realize that I took it for granted.

This is naturally the case for most ordinary people.

But there are some people in whom the evil of human nature is manifested. Such people need to be severely punished and need to be deterred by the iron fist of the people.

What the old man said, that the police cannot and dare not intervene, is also true.

Now the number of public security officers in the country is only more than 60, less than 70. In the past, the social security was good, and there were only some thefts or fights, and basically no major cases. Police stations were not popularized in every township. Generally speaking, there were only one or two security guards responsible for the social security of a township.

In Panshan Town, for example, there are four security guards responsible for maintaining social order, which is already a high level of staffing.

However, starting from a few years ago, public security began to face challenges. First of all, the total number of unemployed young people in various parts of the country exceeded 2000 million. Most of the unemployed young people could wait for job assignments with peace of mind, or simply go to the eastern coastal areas to "make a living" and do business to get rich.

However, a small number of people caused trouble all day long and gradually formed various types of criminal gangs.

Under such circumstances, the original public security police officers were insufficient in manpower.

In addition, many things are unclear now. There is no standard for how to manage and how to punish, which also restricts the police officers' abilities to do their work.

For example, now, even if the police come, they can only give a warning and then detain you for two or three days before releasing you.

"It seems like it's time to crack down on him." Liu Tao thought to himself, and then ordered his guards: "Send that man to the police station."

There is a police station in Panshan Town, but it only has four people.

After hearing what Liu Tao said, the guard walked over and easily subdued the man who wanted to hit the young woman, and then sent him to the police station.

Anyone who can serve as Liu Tao’s bodyguard must be very skilled, otherwise he would not be able to serve as Liu Tao’s bodyguard and protect his safety.

Liu Tao's mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but think of the upcoming crackdown.

As for those who are exposedly dressed, we cannot easily sentence them to serious crimes. We also have to investigate their relationships with others. If they are indeed hooligans, we can then crack down on them severely.

The next day, Liu Tao went to Kunming to attend the provincial party committee meeting.

Liu Tao was often absent from this meeting, but he attended this time.

Some people couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Liu Tao attending the meeting.

Although Liu Tao is young, his level is there and he ranks fifth here.

In the past, Liu Tao was often out of town and missed meetings, but today he appeared here.

But everyone still greeted Liu Tao. Panshan Group had a very special status in Yunnan Province, and Liu Tao's status in Yunnan Province was also very special.

It is no exaggeration to say that Panshan Group is now a development engine in Yunnan Province, and it has provided strong impetus for the development of Yunnan Province.

Even the leaders above were very concerned about Panshan Group. After the meeting started, the topics were discussed one by one.

The first is the personnel issue, which is the appointment of leaders in some important positions, and this needs to be discussed and approved at the meeting.

The next thing is to support the front line and support the front-line troops in combat. This is the mission of Yun Province.

"Comrades, let me talk about what I have seen and heard during this period." Liu Tao talked about what he saw and heard: "I established the public security system and launched a severe crackdown on criminal activities, strictly, severely and quickly."

"I have also heard what Comrade Liu Tao said. Just today, the capital city issued the 'Decision on Severely Cracking Down on Criminal Activities.'" An Pingsheng said slowly.

Liu Tao was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Others also expressed their opinions.

"Let me add that in order to truly crack down on criminals and avoid causing false charges and wrongful convictions," Liu Tao added, patching up the crackdown, "after all, criminals are only a minority, and most people are good."

"This is a very good suggestion. There are almost no unemployed young people in our Yunnan Province, and gangster groups are always very small." An Pingsheng nodded.

Due to large-scale infrastructure and social development driven by Panshan Group, as well as support for front-line operations, there are very few unemployed young people in Yunnan Province.

The next topic was about agriculture.

Yunnan Province has completed the household contract responsibility system across the province, and every household in the rural areas has been allocated land.

The big pot system was broken and farmers now had their own land, which led to great enthusiasm and a bumper harvest last year.

During the busy farming season, they farm; during the slack farming season, they build reservoirs, hydropower stations, factories, etc.

In terms of agriculture, Yunnan Province’s positioning is very clear, which is to be self-sufficient and then support front-line operations without the need for other provinces to support Yunnan Province.

In this regard, Yunnan Province has undoubtedly performed very well in recent years, having allocated a large amount of grain to support brother provinces for two consecutive years.

Among the agricultural issues this time, one of the key points is to encourage rural areas to raise chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs, increase the production of pork, cattle, sheep and poultry meat, increase milk and egg production, and improve the living standards of the people in Yunnan Province.

Although reform and opening up started in Guangdong Province and radiated to other provinces along the southeast coast, the four southwestern provinces, especially Yunnan Province, were the most supportive of the reform and opening up policy, and reform and opening up continued to appear in the streets and alleys.

After all, Yunnan Province's improving trend is visible to the naked eye, and its economic development ranks among the best in the country.

Although a lot of materials and funds were invested in fighting on the front line in order to support frontline construction, the social development of Yunnan Province was very rapid.

Social development naturally brings with it higher demands for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

At this time of material scarcity, the best way to improve people's diet is to encourage every rural household to raise chickens, ducks and pigs. In addition to eating them themselves, they can also sell them, which in turn can improve the material level in the city.

Although Liu Tao attended the meeting, he only made suggestions occasionally and did not participate too much.

Developing the economy, improving people's livelihood, and governing a population of more than 26 million, consisting of 67 ethnic groups. Although the Han nationality accounts for % of the population, it is never an easy task to handle ethnic relations.
