Age of Rebirth

Chapter 450: A Brand New Boundary

Looking at his young boss, Liu Hanzhang seemed to have a lot of emotions, but he didn't know where to start. During this period, many people from various departments came to Liu Hanzhang's office to ask for instructions or sign documents, but no one noticed. , this handsome young man sitting quietly on the sofa is their boss.

Don't blame them. When Tang Qiuli left, everything in Dingbian was in the early stage of start-up. Today, it is already a large-scale modern city with various management institutions in place. They are all newcomers. Qiu Li walked on the busiest street in Dingbian, and few people would recognize him, except for the soldiers of the independent division of the Dingbian Secret Service.

Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Hanzhang with great interest, and praised those who asked for instructions, or severely criticized them. In a trance, there was a shadow of returning to the world before crossing, but here Everything he created was created by himself, and he has a great sense of accomplishment.

When Liu Hanzhang finished his work, it was already noon. He smiled apologetically at Tang Qiuli, feeling quite helpless. He didn't report anything, and half a day was taken up by complicated routine work. In time, he reported to his boss the work situation of Dingbian in the past year, and Liu Hanzhang insisted on asking Tang Qiuli to dine in the restaurant of the city government. [

Tang Qiuli also wanted to see what kind of mental state the people far away from the war, especially the staff of the city government, had, and whether it was the same as that of later generations, with an indescribable feeling.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was lunch time, and there were many people coming and going. Tang Qiuli felt very comfortable when he saw the layout of the restaurant. It was not the interior decoration or anything, but the way of dining. The whole restaurant was like a large auditorium. , full of tables, which are used for both meetings and dining, people sit casually, hundreds of people are together, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Unlike some government agencies in the later generations, there must be a high-end restaurant at the gate of the yamen, where the leaders sit inside, and those who are not qualified outside, artificially create a hierarchy, it looks awkward.

Liu Hanzhang didn't do any special tricks, but just picked the table closest to the inside for the convenience of conversation. While greeting Mayor Liu politely, everyone looked at Tang Qiuli and his party in amazement. Mayor Liu accompanied the guests for dinner. , This is the third time in history, one is to entertain people from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region of the Communist Party of China, and the other is to entertain Dean Jiang Baili of the Military Command Academy. This is the third time I have seen it.

Mayor Liu is extremely tired of the kind of banquets in the officialdom. All counties in the special zone come to the military and political committees to handle affairs, and they all eat in big restaurants. They are never allowed to spend extravagantly in restaurants outside, and they can't even spend their own money. Once found out, they will be dismissed from office and resign , Never use it, send it out of the country as a gift, and if the circumstances are serious, you will also be sent to prison.

Habits become natural, and everyone abides by this rule. In troubled times, it is indeed hard-won to find a job in a place like Dingbian, where the economy is prosperous, the society is stable, the salary is high, and it is far away from the flames of war. Everyone is very grateful Cherish, therefore, the officialdom in Dingbian, from Liu Hanzhang down, does not have those messy things.

Tang Qiuli, Mei Ting, and Shan Hu were particularly eye-catching. On the one hand, they were the guests accompanied by the No. [-] figure in Dingbian Special Zone. A military uniform is enough for those who know the goods, and know that it is the rank of general of the Nationalist Army. Everyone was dizzy when they heard it. The highest military officer in Dingbian, the commander of the police, is only the rank of colonel. This one is several times higher. class.

Especially next to him was an astonishingly beautiful female officer. It was not too much to describe her as a fairy, but she also gave off a heroic and valiant feeling without any femininity. Murderous, the black iron tower-like officer, what kind of weapon is in his hand, it looks heavy, both of them are colonels.

This combination is eye-catching enough. Where did the senior officials come from?Could it be that the military ranks of the national government were given away, and such a young person would be given the rank of general. Everyone guessed, whispered, and looked at this side frequently from time to time.

Tang Qiuli noticed that Liu Hanzhang went to pick up the meals himself, and queued up according to the rules. He paid the meal ticket and the vegetable ticket without any privileges, and the meals he ate were the same as everyone else's. This made Tang Qiuli very happy. Dingbian City The government has not yet caught the smelly rules and bad habits of today.

Liu Hanzhang didn't feel that this was negligence at all, and he didn't show any false modesty or politeness. At the dinner table, he reported to Tang Qiuli in detail the work situation of Dingbian for more than a year.

The current total population of Dingbian has reached more than 3405 million, and the population living in the city alone has more than 1302 million, which is more than 30 times the total population of the original Dingbian area. Municipal construction has been completed, and the city's Development is not as good as the normal track.

Both heavy industry and light industry have formed a scale. The per capita living standard in cities and villages is much higher than the national level. Calculated in terms of actual purchasing power, it has surpassed Shanghai, Nanjing and other large eastern coastal cities. There are no unemployed people in the special zone. Strictly control the population inflow, and now it may reach 600 million people.

As Liu Hanzhang said, he shook his head with lingering fear. Indeed, Dingbian attracted a large number of people, almost from all over the country. They told the people in their hometown about the heavenly situation in Dingbian. The villages have all come here. At the peak, 8 to [-] people came to Dingbian a day. Later, Liu Hanzhang had to ruthlessly prohibit the foreign population from various aspects such as land area and resource bearing capacity, otherwise, Dingbian would be everywhere. are all people.

The oil field in Dingbian has been officially put into production under the leadership of Professor Ouyang. The current output has reached more than 3000 tons of various refined oil products per month, mainly for military supplies. Various taxes have already been greatly increased The surplus has begun to recoup the original investment. Military enterprises can quickly produce high-standard new weapons developed by the Huangyadong Base Special Equipment Research Institute. Those miscellaneous tanks of the Central Army have been repaired and remodeled. It can be transported to the front line at any time if needed.

Liu Hanzhang excitedly told Tang Qiuli that in two years, the original investment will be fully recovered. Dingbian will provide sufficient funds for our troops. At that time, we will purchase a large number of advanced weapons from Europe. Let's see what the Japanese do. Rampant, speaking of this, Liu Hanzhang became emotional. At his level, he can regularly receive war reports on the frontline battlefield. He is very clear about the news that Tang Qiuli has defeated the Japanese, and he does what he can for himself. things, I am really happy.

Tang Qiuli was concerned about another issue, which was the three horses in Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai. How were they doing? Did they make trouble?He was very worried about these three horses. He suffered a big loss in his own hands and was severely beaten. He almost went bankrupt. There was no hatred in his heart, that was nonsense, and he dared not come , making tricks behind the scenes, playing shady tricks, Liu Hanzhang, a nerd, is not their opponent, don't know it after suffering a big loss.

Liu Hanzhang said contemptuously, those three grass-headed kings dared to make trouble, and their economic lifeline is in our hands. At present, the three provinces of Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai are the raw material production bases of our special zone, and they are completely dependent on our industrial and mining industries. Enterprises come to digest their raw materials. Our light industrial products, especially daily commodities, have monopolized the market sales on the Sanma site.

If we are not happy and terminate the trade, we don't want their stuff, and if we don't sell our products to them, they won't be able to survive for three days, and come to us begging us, dare to make trouble?Besides, at the beginning of this year, a large group of several thousand horse bandits from Outer Mongolia drove Sanma's troops into flight, and even Sanma's lair was threatened. They wiped out this group of horse bandits. [

With Liu Hanzhang's character, this is a rare display of strength, which is determined by strong military and economic strength. Whether it is a country, a province or even a family, it is the same reason. If you speak with strength, try to be like today's Dingbian , if it is still as backward, poor and sparsely populated as before, the three horses will surely make a comeback and take revenge.

Tang Qiuli was relieved. His original idea was to use economic means to control the economic lifeline of the three horses with the backing of military strength, so that they would not dare to act rashly. Now, all of this has been realized in the hands of Liu Hanzhang. If you say that you are the nemesis of the Japanese, Liu Hanzhang is the food and clothing of Sanma's parents. Having a stable rear far away from the flames of war is Tang Qiuli's greatest comfort.

After Liu Hanzhang finished his report, he looked eagerly at his boss, waiting to give some guiding opinions. Tang Qiuli didn't have any comments. Everything Liu Hanzhang had done was beyond his imagination. Nothing could be done better than this Mayor Liu. No matter how good he is, he shook his head lightly, and only said: "Brother Hanzhang, you have worked hard. It is Qiuli's fault that you left such a big mess to yourself."

Enough is enough, Tang Qiuli's words made this scholar who is full of talent and learning, but showing his talents, feel hot in his heart, tears seem to glisten in his eyes, everything he has done is worth it!Neither of the two people spoke, they just exchanged eyes, and everything was kept silent.

Mei Ting looked at two people with a huge difference in age, but they shared the same ideals. They communicated heart-to-heart in such a manly way. This scene moved her even more. At the same time, she also felt that she had such a charismatic personality. She was proud of her husband, her face was bright red, she smiled slightly, and held Tang Qiuli's hand even tighter.

The people in the restaurant kept paying attention to this side. They felt that Mayor Liu seemed to be reporting to the general, but they couldn't hear it clearly. Mei Ting's smile made all the men's hearts beat violently. It's so beautiful, like the moment when a lotus flower slowly blooms, it seems to smell a pleasant fragrance, looking at the admiral who loved you, with indescribable tenderness, people vaguely guessed the relationship between them.

At this time, a surprised and ecstatic voice broke the atmosphere. It was a man's voice, "Master, is that you?"
