I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: Chinese people’s choice of staying or leaving

Xu Jiaren felt that the experience of these ten days was really dreamy.

About a month ago, he found a good job and entered the society. It happened to coincide with the company’s annual team building, and more than two hundred people traveled to Siam for free. As a result, he was knocked unconscious as soon as he got off the plane, and then woke up. When they arrived, they were already deep in the Golden Triangle and were beaten every day, forcing them to ask for ransom from their families.

Xu Jiaren’s family is not rich, so he sold off his family’s assets in a hurry to collect more than 100,000 yuan. As a result, the fraud group was not satisfied and wanted to squeeze out the last value from them. Because of Xu Jiaren’s resistance, he was treated as a chicken to scare the monkeys and was almost killed by the fraud group. Survived and buried.

If it weren’t for the legion’s rescue of the trapped Longguo Chinese, he would have died -.

Although they are temporarily unable to return home due to the war, they have received assurances from the corps leaders.

They were also curious about how that former colleague turned into a warlord leader, but they would say anything as long as they could get them home.

In the days that followed, although the rescued Longguo Chinese people in Mengsa County could not go home, they still found something to do.

For example, some skilled workers participated in post-war reconstruction projects, and some with administrative experience were assigned to management.

Because Xu Jiaren had been engaged in administrative work in the company, he had excellent academic performance since childhood and had managed classes. He was also a member of the student union. He participated in the new government work of Mengsa County and performed outstandingly. He worked in the post-war reconstruction department and was quickly promoted to a small leader. s position.

Now he has dozens of people under him, who are mainly responsible for the promotion of new crops after the ban on opium poppy plantations in Mengsa County. He indirectly manages thousands of people and tens of thousands of farmers.

“It feels so good to be an official…” On a farm in Mengsa County, Xu Jiaren watched his men working.

His hometown is a farmer in Guangdong Province, and he has some basic understanding of crop cultivation in tropical and subtropical areas. Considering that the Golden Triangle is currently at war, the promotion of new crops mainly focuses on food crops.

The main focus is farming and grain harvesting.

Although the income of farmers will decline after the poppy plantations are eliminated and farmers are not allowed to grow poppies, the security brought by food is very high, which cannot be brought by other economic activities.

Based on a survey of farmers in Mengsa County, Xu Jiaren wrote a detailed report document, planning to plant high-yield rice in plain areas, sweet potatoes in gentle slope areas, and citrus, lychees, bananas and other cash crops in complex mountainous areas.

Food crops are used to stabilize the local people. After all, Eastern Shan State has a population of more than one million and still needs a lot of food. Only with food can it be more stable.

As for cash crops, they should be planted on a small scale first, cultivate planting experience, and find sales channels. For example, Xu Jiaren contacted several friends in the southwestern region of Longguo to find ways to open up some sales, and he took his time.

After all, farmers in the Golden Triangle area used to grow poppies in addition to food. Only Chiang Rai in Siam developed fruit and other cash crops because it was relatively stable.

Ordinary farmers dare not easily plant cash crops for fear that the harvest will rot in their hands. They are not as good as hard currency like grain, nor as raw materials for drugs like opium poppies.

After a busy day, Xu Jiaren returned to the department and had a light meal in the cafeteria with his subordinates.

At the dinner table, everyone was chatting about life. Recent changes have made the quality of life of the local Chinese people much better. Everyone was talking about their expectations for the future.

Xu Jiaren felt like he was living in the Dragon Kingdom.

Most of the officials here can speak Chinese, and even many local Chinese are officials in the civil affairs department, so there is no difficulty in communicating.

Moreover, the status of Chinese people is very high now. After getting along with his colleagues, Xu Jiaren learned that when the Wa State Army occupied this place, it was difficult for Chinese people to become officials. They had to be mixed-race or married into a family.

But now, the legion has occupied this place, and the status of the Chinese has skyrocketed. The local civil service faction has been purged, and many positions have been vacated. The status of the local Chinese has risen. To be an official, you must at least be a mixed-race Chinese.

Many clans have begun to recruit Chinese sons-in-law, just so that their descendants can be qualified to serve as officials.

Although he only worked as a civil affairs official for less than ten days, Xu Jiaren even had the idea of staying.

In the evening, when he returned to the dormitory, Xu Jiaren saw what everyone was discussing.

“Hey, isn’t this Director Xu?” The companions joked with a smile.

Although the post-war reconstruction department where Xu Jiaren worked did not have a clear division of official positions, because he managed dozens of people and was responsible for crop promotion in a county in Mengsa, his colleagues all joked that he was a division chief.

“What are you talking about?” he asked with a smile.

The Chinese people with him have basically found some jobs. Some work in government departments like him, and some work in the construction department. Everyone is using their skills.

Although the salary is small, at least there is some income.

“The county has issued a notice saying that a group of civil affairs officers will be transferred to Jingdong City and Tachileik County, Mengbin County, and Mengla County. We are discussing whether to stay.” A Chinese companion said.

“Hey, why didn’t I receive the notice? Is there a shortage of people over there?” Xu Jiaren said curiously as he took off his shoes and put on sandals.

“You’re running around all day long. It’s hard to notify you.”

“If it’s a bigger city like Jingdong, I can accept it. Forget about other counties. It’s not as big as our hometown. There are some unruly people in the mountains and there may be guerrillas. We may fight that day. come over.”

“Mongla County is also fine. It’s close to the Dragon Country and has a lot of Chinese people. It’s no different from the country.”

“I heard that the legion now occupies several counties. Although the counties in the mountains and valleys are a bit more difficult, it will still be possible to be promoted to Jingdong after a few years. Now we Chinese have the final say here.”

… . ….

“And Commander Wang is a Chinese. He came with us. If we work with him, he will definitely not treat us badly!”

Several Chinese people started a heated discussion and even called Wang Yao’s nickname ‘Commander Wang’.

Although this place is a bit difficult, Chinese people can be officials and have a high status. Especially Chinese people with high education and skills are valued even more. Many people have the idea of staying.

After all, if they return to China, they will be just ordinary people in a huge sea of people. It will be difficult for them to even buy a house after working all their lives.

As the saying goes, ‘I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail’.

What’s more, the legion is now in a period of rapid expansion, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, especially Chinese, who have many opportunities.

Although they are ordinary people, who doesn’t want to do something?

Seeing the discussion among several companions, Xu Jiaren felt restless in his heart.

In terms of education level, although he is only a second-level college student, he is still highly educated in a poor place like the Golden Triangle.

In terms of relationship, he and Commander Wang were “life and death friends”. Even the county magistrate of Mengsa had to treat him with respect when meeting him.

Moreover, if I return to my country, I will definitely not have the current treatment and special status. I can only continue to submit my resume to find a job and then work hard.

As he thought about it, Xu Jiaren’s heart beat faster and faster.

He looked at his companions who were passionately discussing the benefits of staying, quietly came to the balcony outside, took out his mobile phone, and dialed his hometown number.

“Grandpa, I want to…do something big!” Do.
