All experts agreed that the road should be built first. The project carried out simultaneously is to thoroughly investigate the mineral distribution in the entire Ningxia (formerly known as Xichang area) area and find out its geological conditions. It is recommended to recruit four to five exploration teams to concentrate here, focusing on the Anning River Basin; to start rectifying the Jinsha River waterway, Lu Zuofu is responsible for ordering suitable ships; to start building a cement factory to produce high-grade cement.]

Zhuang Jihua thought of another question, who will control the overall situation? He turned to look at Ren Naiqiang: "Mr. Ren, I would like to ask you to be responsible for the development of this place and coordinate the overall situation. What do you think?"

Ren Naiqiang was caught off guard. He looked at the experts and professors in the conference room and asked in confusion: "I, is it appropriate? There are such first-class experts here, let me do it..."

"Yes, if you want to find minerals, you are definitely not as good as Professor Chang. If you make steel, you are definitely not as good as Professor Hu. How to build a hydropower station is not as good as Professor Cao. They are all the top tasks in China in their fields, but to ensure the success of the project, there is another area, that is, to eliminate interference from various local political forces, mobilize their strength, and ensure the smooth implementation of the project. They cannot do this, and you are the only one who is the one who sits in. You have been in Xikang for many years and are very familiar with various local forces. General Liu Ziqian also trusts you very much."

Ren Naiqiang hesitated. According to his wishes, he was willing to do it. However, thinking of Liu Wenhui's kindness, he felt unable to speak to Liu Wenhui. Zhuang Jihua saw his difficulties: "Is this good? If you agree, I will ask General Liu Ziqian for someone."

Chang Longqing also advised from the side: "The Cultural Revolution is right. We can't do this. Only you are the most suitable. You always say that developing Xikang is your wish. As long as you can see its development, you will be willing to die. If you can't come to an end, you can stand aside and watch it yourself."

Ren Naiqiang still didn't think about how to tell Liu Wenhui about this. He had to say voluntarily: "I..., I will be responsible as soon as I come, this is not good."

Zhuang Jihua sighed and said, "This is not an promotion, it is a chore. As soon as the meeting is over, the people in the transportation team will start to draw up a list of technicians. Chongqing will send people to come. Before they arrive, you must find migrant workers. Once the project is launched, Professor Li is responsible for technical matters, and you must be responsible for his logistics, such as food, tools, materials, wages of migrant workers, etc. You should just not complain to me."

"Okay, if General Liu agrees, I'm willing to bear this burden." Ren Naiqiang finally let go. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but be overjoyed. He smiled and said, "That's great. I'll send a telegram to General Liu Ziqian, Wu Ziniu!"

Those who came in were Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu. Song Yunfei was holding a telegram in his hand: "Report to Chief, Chongqing urgent telegram."

"What's the matter again, I miss it." Zhuang Jihua frowned and said. Hu Shuhua and the others looked at Song Yunfei worriedly, guessing if something happened in Chongqing again.

"Tang-style Zun Wanyuan was defeated. The Communist bandits were approaching and turned into a counterattack. The Chairman ordered you to return to Chongqing quickly. Coordinate the ministries. Ensure Xuanhan, Daxian and Kaixian. Prevent the Communist bandits from escaping into the eastern Sichuan region."

After hearing this, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed, "I don't know if it's because Tang Shizun is useless or if my old classmate is too powerful. He failed so quickly. Yun Fei. Go and prepare. I'll leave after I finish here."

"Yes." Song Yunfei agreed and turned around and went out. Zhuang Jihua then said to Wu Ziniu: "Give power to General Liu Zigan immediately. I intend to ask Mr. Ren Naiqiang to serve as the captain of the Ningnan Development Team." At this point, he deliberately frowned and said to Hu Shuhua: "Let's better give a name to the project. How do you think of Panzhihua?"

Hu Shuhua and the others did not expect that Zhuang Jihua would still be careless about this. Lu Zuofu asked with some concern: "Will the Red Army enter the Sixteen counties of Chongqing? Our work is a bit effective. The war will be completely destroyed."

"It's not clear what Tang Shizun's defeat will be. However, I think it's difficult for them to enter the Sixteen counties in Chongqing." Zhuang Jihua comforted them and said, "Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 for themselves; although they won the Wanyuan Defense Battle, the consumption will be very large. At most, they will fight Xuanhan and enter the Sixteen counties in Chongqing..." He shook his head: "This kind of danger is too great. My old classmate cannot see this."

"The Cultural Revolution. You publicly praise me like this. What will the Chairman think? Be careful." Li Shutian advised. Now Zhuang Jihua's experts in the development team have a high prestige. They feel that they are very happy to work under him. They just need to just work and don't worry about anything at all. In the past two years, Zhuang Jihua has fulfilled his promise.] Do not interfere with their work and ensure their logistics support. So they don't want something to happen to him.

"I don't think they are bandits," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "Even if I say this in front of the principal, I think of the Communist Party as a bandit, that is to hide my ears. Is there such a program and an organized bandit? Besides, the bandits were defeated several times and even the bandits couldn't win. This is too incompetent."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about our own business," Zhuang Jihua didn't want to talk about this topic. He had his style of doing things: "How about the name Panzhihua?"

"I think it's OK. Panzhihua trees are everywhere here, and they are very local. "Chang Longqing first expressed his opinion.

"Well, I think it's OK. Panzhihua is a characteristic flower tree here, and it's everywhere, it's simple," Ren Naiqiang also agreed, but he was still a little strange in his heart. Panzhihua is also called Kapok, but only local people are called Panzhihua. How did Zhuang Jihua know about it? Maybe it was only this month that he explained himself.

"Wu Ziniu, record," after the unanimous vote, Zhuang Jihua said to Wu Ziniu: "General Liu is my brother. The Panzhihua project in Ningnan area has officially started. I intend to ask Mr. Ren Naiqiang to be the general project. Mr. Ren cannot bear to lose the general's reputation, so I have to be honest and ask for a love affair. I don't know if it is possible, so I beg you to answer quickly."

"This telegram is sent to Ya'an and the 24th Army." Zhuang Jihua said.

Soon Liu Wenhui's call came back, and he humorously told Zhuang Jihua in the call back: "I'm digging again. It depends on your sincerity. I have given up half of it and agreed to serve as the general manager and the position of vice president for the temporary president."

After seeing it, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile and handed the telegram to Ren Naiqiang: "General Liu agrees. Now you are the general manager of the Panzhihua project. I will leave if I need a radio station." After saying that, he was about to leave, and suddenly stopped and said to Chang Longqing: "By the way, I can't give you five of the exploration team. I can only give you three. The project site cycle is too long, and I want to find it in other places." Then he said to Ren Naiqiang: "The first phase of the funds are 10 million, and you are responsible for how to use it. I will only check the accounts."

After saying that, he left. Ren Naiqiang was still stunned and didn't understand what it meant. Hu Shuhua shook his head and patted his shoulder and said, "This is his way of doing things. He let go of people, but there are system precautions. This means to check accounts. He retains the right to check accounts, which is the system of the development team."

"The development team has many systems, and the financial system is just one of them. Soon you will receive some documents, which list various rules and regulations in detail. Remember, you must abide by these systems. If you violate them, you will not be able to save you. Even if he violates them himself, it will not work." Lu Zuofu said calmly.

Ren Naiqiang was still a little dizzy: "It started like this? What is this? Who are the members of the command center, and he won't say anything?"

Cao Ruizhi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, is there another inauguration ceremony? We are all like this? You will get used to it after a long time. You can only find the members of the project command center by yourself, secretary, staff, etc., you can find them yourself."

Ren Naiqiang was a little stupid. It turned out that Zhuang Jihua left him here and ignored him.

It was already early September when Zhuang Jihua returned to Chongqing via Xichang. After Tang Shizun lost four brigades, he confronted the Red Army at Jingxiba, Dongshengchang, Majiachang and Shuanglongchang in the south of Wanyuan.

"It's better to move forward." Zhuang Jihua stepped into the military camp war room when he returned to Chongqing and discussed the gains and losses of the battle with Du Yuming and others: "The whole battle, luring the enemy into depth, retreating and fighting to the decisive battle, and then breaking the enemy in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly."

When they were doing war chess performances, Du Yuming and others believed that Xu Xiangqian would lead his troops to retreat to Daba Mountain to deal with the Sichuan Army, but Zhuang Jihua did not think so. He believed that Xu Xiangqian would use a small group of troops to restrain the main force on the eastern front, concentrate on attacking Luo Zezhou and Li Jiayu, and disrupt the battlefield on the western front first. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangqian's choice was completely different from theirs, but it was still a brilliant victory.

"But it's strange. Tang Shizun suffered heavy losses. Why didn't Yingqiu take the opportunity to attack fiercely, but turned around to attack Fan Shaozeng and gave him a chance to breathe. If he took the opportunity to attack fiercely, Tang Shizun would not have been able to gain a foothold in the south of Wanyuan." Du Yuming raised a question.

"This is indeed a mistake," said Situ Fei. "If you fight along the way, Tang Shizun will lose more troops, not just four brigades."

"Maybe he wants to take into account the Western Front," he said seriously: "It is safer to defeat Fan Shaozeng and can support the Western Front at any time. After all, the Western Front has concentrated the troops of Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Li Jiayu and Yang Sen, with a number of up to 60,000. If Tongjiang is lost, no matter how great the results he achieves on the Eastern Front, it will be strategically not worth the loss."

"Tongjiang will not fall. If Deng Xihou and the others heard that Liu Xiang's main force was defeated, they would definitely stop the attack and turn to the defensive." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, and Du Yuming also agreed. The failure of the main force will have a huge impact. Under the shaking of the army, Deng Xihou and others will definitely choose to protect themselves rather than rescue Liu Xiang.

"I guess they had differences within them and had to go forward to fight Fan Shaozeng. As a result, Fan Shaozeng ran smartly and failed. When he turned around, Tang Shizun also ran away. Now he might have to go to the Western Front. It would be fine if Deng Xihou and the others walked fast, but if they were slow,..." Zhuang Jihua stopped and looked at the officers around him, shaking his head, and his implication was self-evident.

Sure enough, Deng Xihou and the others did not retreat in time, but adjusted their deployment slightly, attempting to use the mountains on both sides of the Xiaotong River to form a confrontation with the Red Army. As a result, they were attacked by the victorious army on the eastern front led by Xu Xiangqian. Xu Xiangqian personally led the Red 30th Army and the 31st Army to detour the second road behind Tian Songyao's territory, and annihilated ten of their regiments in Huangmaoya. After this battle, the Sichuan Army on the Western Front turned back and began to escape desperately. Deng Xihou gave up the Nanjiang River, retreated across the Jialing River, and retreated to Guangyuan; Li Jiayu escaped into Yilong and was surrounded by the Ninth Corps that followed. Yang Sen retreated the fastest, and because of the fast, he ran back to Yingshan without any damage. Luo Zezhou moved slowly and lost two regiments, and escaped Cangxi and stopped. Within half a month, the Red Army recovered Bazhong, Nanjiang, Tongjiang, Pingchang, and conquered Wangcang, Cangxi, Langzhong, and the south.

At this point, Liu Xiang launched a siege of six routes, and the 200,000 troops lost 60,000 people. During the counterattack of the Red Army, Liu Xiang was panicked. He sent Chiang Kai-shek to request reinforcements from the Central Army. Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered Hu Zongnan and Liu Maoen's two divisions crossed Daba Mountain and drove directly to Chengdu.

When the Red Army's counterattack ended, Liu Xiang felt a little regretful again, but he couldn't say anything about the Central Army's withdrawal. In shame and regret, he proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to resign as commander-in-chief of Sichuan Bandit Suppression Army. Chiang Kai-shek accepted his resignation. However, he still sent a message to comfort him and told the Sichuan incident that he would still rely on him after he was in trouble.

An unprecedented defeat, and the Sichuan Army's troops urgently needed rectification and supplementary measures. Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to clearly order He Guoguang to form a staff team, and Sun Yuanliang, the staff team, was appointed as the chief of staff of the staff team, and appointed Yang Yongtai to form a Sichuan bandit suppression camp, with the camp address located in Chongqing.

Liu Yinshu's belly finally got bigger. The second concubine resolutely asked her to quit her job at the school. Zhuang Jihua's adoptive mother also arrived in Chongqing at the end of July and brought a lot of things. When she arrived at the gate of the base, the sentry thought she was a vendor who came to sell goods. She almost drove her away. Then she heard that she was here to find her son. Her son was called Zhuang Jihua, which scared the sentry and quickly notified Liu Yinshu to recognize him. Liu Yinshu had a big belly and saw that it was Zhuang Li's family. He quickly invited her in and found two team members to help bring the things back. Zhuang Li was not alone, and the grandson of the patriarch Zhuang Mingxian was accompanied by her grandson. After arriving at home, he realized that Zhuang Jihua was not at home. Zhuang Li scolded him for a while in front of the second concubine. She was afraid that the second concubine would be worried, so she didn't know that the second concubine had been here for half a year. She had been accustomed to Zhuang Jihua's situation.

After finally Zhuang Jihua came back, Zhuang Li didn't care about criticizing her. This month she also learned a little about Zhuang Jihua's authority here. Since she arrived, the wives of senior cadres such as Li Zhilong Pan Huiqin, Xiaoxiu, Mei Youlan, Gong Xiuhua, Du Yuming's wife Cao Xiuqing, Hong Junqi's wife Wen Yan and other wives of senior cadres came over. Seeing their appearance to her and Liu Yinshu, she knew where Zhuang Jihua was here even if she had never seen the world again.

Zhuang Jihua was also a little surprised when he saw her. Then he was a little moved. His adoptive mother probably had never left the small mountain village in her life, but for him, he traveled thousands of miles to Chongqing. Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He had not returned home in the past two years and even wrote very little letters. But before he could express anything, Liu Xiangdi asked him to go to Chengdu again. Seeing Liu Yinshu directing his only servant Fangsao to prepare clothes for Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Li couldn't help but complain.

"Jihua, can't you stay at home for a few more days? Look, you're less than a month away and you're leaving again. Your wife is pregnant with your child."

"Mom, this is business, and I can't do anything about it." Zhuang Jihua explained.

"You have to go to any business. Can you let others go?" Zhuang Li's eyes were nothing more important than building branches and leaves for the banker, so she was really angry this time.

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, and he didn't know how to explain it. Liu Yinshu smiled at him and said to Zhuang Li: "Mom, it's okay not to go to the Cultural Revolution. Don't worry, I have no place, aren't you there?"

"My mother-in-law, the busy Cultural Revolution is a state affairs, you are pretty good. He has been with you for so many days. He left the next day after I arrived. He left for half a year. I don't know where he went, and I didn't even have a letter. After I came back, I told us that he was going to fight Japan." After Zhuang Li's arrival, the second concubine became much more reasonable. However, when she first met, she was shocked by Zhuang Li's clothes. Zhuang Li's dress was completely an ordinary country woman. She couldn't tell that her son was actually a lieutenant general, and actually controlled tens of millions of people in Chongqing and the surrounding 16 counties. Seeing Zhuang Li's clothes made her feel a little relieved. But she didn't know, and her appearance also scared Zhuang Li's appearance. Zhuang Li felt that this woman was too generous and how much money it would take to buy that outfit. This is not a way to live. A Shu should not be taught by her.

"Oh, when will you stop busy?" Zhuang Li sighed and said to Zhuang Jihua that since he recognized his godson, he has been busy outside except when he started recuperating at home and rarely goes home, and the couple can do nothing.

"Mom, why don't you and dad come to Chongqing? It would be great if the family is together." Zhuang Jihua didn't know how to answer, so he simply asked them to move westward in advance.

"You don't know your father. He can't bear to leave those fields." Zhuang Li said. In fact, she couldn't bear to leave, and it might be nice to be with her son and daughter-in-law.

"The fields can be handed over to the patriarch and asked him to help take care of them. It's okay to rent them to others. Isn't it enough to not charge their rent?" Zhuang Jihua said.

"That's not possible. Your father must fight you for the best." Zhuang Li shook his head and said, "Don't rent, isn't that stupid?"

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, and suddenly he thought: "Mom, how much rent is our family rented to others?"

"Old rules, 70%." Zhuang Li looked at Zhuang Jihua a little strangely. Zhuang Jihua had never asked about Tian Zuo, nor had he asked his family for money, so she asked tentatively: "Is it because the money is not good at hand? There are still hundreds of dollars in the family. I'll ask the old man to send it to you. Raising children is very expensive."

The second concubine burst out laughing, and Liu Yinshu also pursed her lips and laughed. Zhuang Jihua said with a frown: "Mom, my money is enough. Yinshu and I have enough salary for hundreds of dollars a month. I want to ask if there is too much rent in Qizhuri field."

"Not many, didn't we rent his third uncle also rent a land for seventy percent?" Zhuang Li said: "You kid, how could you think that there is too much land for rent? The boss always thinks that there is too little land for rent. This year, your father is planning to add 10 percent of the rent."

Zhuang Jihua nodded thoughtfully. In two years, grassroots organizations have been established. The first batch of soldiers serving in the military have been discharged last month and the village militia team has been established. The next step is to start reducing rents and interest rates.

"Mom, what if the government enforces the order to only get 40% of the rent?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"How can I do it? How much rent should I charge is my tenant and the business. What does it have to do with the government?" Zhuang Li was a little puzzled.

But the second concubine heard something. She still remembered the fact that Gong Xiuhua and the others went to his house to reduce rent and interest rates. That was when Zhuang Jihua met Liu Yinshu.

"Cultural Revolution, are you planning to reduce rent and interest rates?" asked the second concubine.

Zhuang Jihua nodded: "The National Government has a law that the land rent cannot exceed 375%. I plan to implement it in Chongqing."

"30% to 75%" the second concubine frowned slightly, then shook her head and said, "I'm afraid there are few landlords willing to do it."

"You have to do it if you don't," Zhuang Jihua said in a resolute tone: "I have soldiers on my hands. If anyone dares to object, I will arrest people."

But their words also made him alert. Even honest people like his adoptive mother are unwilling to reduce rent and interest rates, so others don’t have to think about it. I don’t know how much resistance this law will be. The officers in the Sichuan Army are not landlords at home, and I’m afraid they will even make trouble. It seems that they must recruit new recruits as soon as possible.

Liu Xiang invited him to Chengdu, Zhuang Jihua was basically maze, and the situation report on the situation of the expansion of the situation has arrived. The Sichuan Army suffered heavy losses this time. Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to the Sichuan Army to reorganize the army, believing that the fundamental reason for the defeat of the Sichuan Army was the lack of morale and the depressed fighting spirit of the officers. Therefore, the Sichuan Army must rectify and eliminate the weak and retain the strong, so that they can bear the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits.

Zhuang Jihua knew that he would definitely have bleeding when he went to Chengdu this time, but he also knew that he was unprecedentedly powerful now.
