Beiyang reactionaries

But Zou Bingwen didn't care either.

He is a scholar, who teaches and educates people.So what if it's someone with a lot of power?I am not clinging to the powerful.So it was natural to come to the next park.

The two sat down, and the young general said, "Professor Zou, let me introduce myself. My name is Deng Yanda. I am currently serving as the Chief of the Prime Minister's Bodyguard and the Chief of the Prime Minister's Military Staff Office."

Although he didn't cling to the powerful, Zou Bingwen was really taken aback.Although I thought that the person who came here should be a very important person, but I didn't expect that he was really a person with all-hands and eyes.

This is the closest person to Cabinet Prime Minister Duan Xun.But Zou Bingwen was even more strange.How could such a character come to find him.

"General Deng, are you looking for me?"

"Professor Zou, I came to you today not only to ask for advice, but also to get support from Professor Zou."

"General Deng, I don't understand."

Deng Yanda immediately took out a map from his briefcase and spread it out between the two of them.Then he pointed to the place where the Heilongjiang Construction Corps was going: "Professor Zou, you are an expert in agriculture in our country. This is where Heilongjiang, Songhua River, and Wusuli River converge. The land here is fertile, but there is no development at all. Our country is a country with a large population, and the problem of food is the most important. Therefore, the higher authorities decided to develop this place and turn it into an agricultural base and an important food producing area in our country. This is a big project, and the first batch of people who participate will have 5 About [-] people. I would like to ask Professor Zou, where should we start, what kind of seeds we should prepare, and what kind of food we want to plant here. Is it really possible to build a large agricultural base here. "

Deng Yanda is a person with both civil and military skills. As Duan Xun's bodyguard chief, in addition to learning military knowledge, he also learns a lot of other knowledge.However, Deng Yanda was born in a war after all, so he doesn't understand agricultural issues at all.Now that Duan Xun has made his decision, Deng Yanda doesn't want to bargain.Because Duan Xun said so, if he disagrees, the future will be bleak.

I am still young, only 30 years old this year.

Deng Yanda didn't want to retire so soon, but also wanted to make contributions.If the construction of the Construction Corps in Heilongjiang is successful, it will be a great contribution.Although there are some hardships in the front, the future development prospects are very promising.

So Deng Yanda began to prepare.

Find some experts on farming issues.After looking around, I found Zou Bingwen.Zou Bingwen was 17 years old. He went to study in the United States before the Revolution of 1916 broke out.After graduating from high school in the United States, he went to Cornell University at his own expense.At Cornell, he first studied mechanical design, but soon switched to agronomy.The main course studied is Phytopathology.He did not return to China until [-]. He first served as a professor of agriculture at Jinling University, which was run by the American Church, and later came to teach at Southeast University.Currently serving as the director of the Agricultural Department of Southeast University.

In China's current agricultural field, they are quite outstanding talents.And he happened to be in Nanjing, so Deng Yanda took the time to come to Zou Bingwen to learn from him.

Zou Bingwen did not speak immediately.

Instead, he kept looking at the map, and finally frowned: "General Deng, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Professor Zou, I'm here today to listen to the opinions of experts like you."

"General Deng, to be honest, I'm not familiar with this place. Many of them can only be known by field surveys. But there are Songhua River, Heilongjiang River, and Wusuli River here. Logically speaking, the land conditions should be relatively good. But as far as I know, this The place has been deserted for many years, and there are many swamps in this place. It is not easy to reclaim a piece of land here."

"Ha ha."

Deng Yanda smiled.

Then he said: "Professor Zou, I am a soldier. I only know that soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty. Now that the Prime Minister has made a decision to open an agricultural base there, I will complete it. I went to a military academy since I was a child, and the Revolution of [-] began. I have also fought many battles, and I crawled out of the dead. I don’t care about some difficulties.”

"General Deng means that General Deng is in charge of this matter?"

"Yes. I will serve as the commander of the Heilongjiang Construction Corps, and I will be the first to lead people to build."

Zou Bingwen was very surprised.

Deng Yanda has a bright future, after all, he is currently Duan Xun's bodyguard.If it is not Duan Xun's most trusted person, it is impossible to hold such an important position.

But how could such a person with a bright future go to Heilongjiang, a place where nothing shits like a bird.

"Professor Zou, I have also read some articles about China's agriculture these days. An agricultural expert named Dong Shijin has repeatedly called for 'China is not suitable for industrialization' and has always called for China not to be industrialized. He believes that once China industrializes, China's agricultural There will be problems. He believes that China should develop agriculture instead of industry. Industry and agriculture are opposed. I don't know if he is right or not, but I know one thing as a soldier. That is, the weapons in our hands are not sophisticated. You will be bullied, and you will encounter shame such as the Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War, and the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Therefore, I firmly support the country’s industrialization reform. With the great development of industry, our country will not suffer the same shame as before.”

Knowing that Deng Yanda was in charge of this matter, Zou Bingwen listened to Deng Yanda's words very seriously.Deng Yanda continued: "But what he said is not all wrong. The progress of industrialization and the increase of urban population will put more and more pressure on our country's food. Food security is the foundation of national security, so build more for the country. Grain production areas are a very important task. The construction of agricultural bases in Heilongjiang is an experiment. If successful, our country will be able to build more agricultural bases in the currently inaccessible border areas with this model. So I am obliged. "

"But I am a soldier. I am unambiguous about fighting, and I am unambiguous about orders from above. I can overcome any difficulties. But I know that there is a specialization in art, and fighting is my specialty. But building an agricultural base is not my job." I don’t understand a lot of things in my business. I don’t know much about how to build, what kind of food should be grown in this area, and how to grow it. The Prime Minister often teaches us that science and technology are the foundation of a strong country. We must Respect technology, respect talents. That's why I came to Professor Zou today, hoping you can help."

Zou Bingwen was shocked.

I didn't expect Deng Yanda, a soldier, to have such feelings.Of course, what Zou Bingwen didn't know was that Deng Yanda didn't go there voluntarily.If Duan Xun hadn't called his name, how could he have set up some agricultural base.But now that the decision has been made, Deng Yanda will not show any reluctance.

I was moved by what I said.

Zou Bingwen thought for a while and said: "General Deng, in theory, this place is indeed a good place to develop agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, and even forestry. But what to plant and how to plant it, you must go and see it yourself. Know."

Deng Yanda stood up, saluted again, and said, "Professor Zou, time is tight. The order given by the Prime Minister is that I start to form a team from now on, and I will start working in April next year. Before the official work starts next year, I will Go there and make a plan for next year, including the seeds to be planted. But even if I go, I don’t know much. So I need a professional to accompany me to see what to do.”

Zou Bingwen immediately stood up, waved his hands, and said, "General Deng, I dare not accept your military salute. Give me some time and let me hand over the work. I also want to personally participate in the construction of the agricultural base and test my knowledge in books. support."

"Thank you Professor Zou."

Deng Yanda was overjoyed, and immediately went forward to hold Zou Bingwen's hand, and said, "Professor Zou, for those students who study agriculture, the more I do, the better."

"I know what General Deng means. I'll help you find one."

"In the past few years, there have been constant turmoil in Shanghai. The cabinet is very satisfied with being able to stabilize the order in Shanghai."

"Prime Minister, I'm so honored. We live every day with trepidation and dare not be sloppy."

Duan Xun went south this time, attending Sun Yat-sen's funeral was just an excuse.Although it doesn't sound good, Duan Xun and Sun Yat-sen don't have the slightest friendship.If it weren't for the inclusion of the Kuomintang and other things, Duan Xun would never have come to his funeral.This time Duan Xun went south to inspect the economic development along the Yangtze River.Meet with these local leaders and hear their opinions.

Always in Beijing, many things are impossible to fully grasp.

Moreover, this kind of investigation also shows that the current political situation in China is stable.If China's political situation is unstable, it is impossible for someone like Duan Xun to leave Beijing casually.After leaving Nanjing, Duan Xun's first stop was to visit Shanghai.Shanghai is currently the most economically developed city in China and the most active commercial area in China.

It can be said that it is the economic center and financial center of China.

Meet key leaders in Shanghai.After meeting Yan Huiqing, Duan Xun praised Yan Huiqing and the main leaders of Shanghai a lot.A lot has happened in Shanghai in recent years.

From the beginning of the rectification of opium, gangs, finance, and Japanese factories, things followed one after another.Fortunately, there are no major problems in Shanghai, and it is still stable.

"Credit is credit, don't be humble."

Duan Xun smiled.

Stopping Yan Huiqing's modesty, he looked at the other leaders of Shanghai.Wang Boqun, Wu Dingchang, Tang Shizun, and Lang Boyu were all there.

"I saw the Shanghai expansion plan you submitted. I want to ask you, do you have money?"

Shanghai is developing faster and faster.

The population has exceeded 300 million. A large city with a population of 300 million is already a super-large city in China.Even in the world, this is a city of considerable size.The population is increasing, and the pressure on the city is also increasing.Moreover, the increase in population also shows that the economy is becoming more and more dynamic, and there are more and more enterprises.Therefore, the Shanghai municipal government handed over to the cabinet a plan to expand Shanghai.

The scale is huge.

It is necessary to expand Shanghai by about one-third, as well as expand Shanghai's docks.

Well planned.

But Duan Xun is concerned about where there is so much money in Shanghai.The current scale of Shanghai is already very large. If it wants to expand by one-third, how many houses and infrastructures need to be built to catch up.

Including road construction, water and electricity facilities, telephone and telegraph should also keep up, and everything should be supported.How much does it cost to invest.

"Prime Minister, there is still a way for money."
