Yang Yongtai has been the mayor of Chongqing for more than two months. Before he arrived in Chongqing, he sneered at the flattery in the newspapers, but in the past two months he really realized that the introduction in the newspapers was just the tip of the iceberg. In two months, he participated in the start of six factories and the groundbreaking ceremony of fourteen factories. Chongqing was recruiting workers everywhere. He was a little bit of cultured and was rushed to the recruitment site. The busyness of each wharf was almost in Shanghai. The renovation of several large roads in the inner city had been completed. Yang Yongtai clearly remembered He Guoguang's regretful expression when handing over government affairs, and also remembered what He Guoguang told him that working in Chongqing is as good as working in other places for five years, which is enjoyable!

Under the busy construction, Chongqing's control over society is the strictest in all parts of the country. Chongqing's local news community is basically caught in one place, and almost all newspapers are controlled by Chongqing Propaganda Department. In addition to Mei Youlan's Yuzhou Evening News, there are still one or two private newspapers remaining, with no more than one thousand copies per day. Unlike other places, Chongqing has absolutely no soldiers or police attacking the newspaper, but no reporter or newspaper dares to "report randomly"

", because they all hold press certificates issued by the Propaganda Department, once "error reports" occur, the punishment will be severe. The revocation of the press certificate is the lightest, and the heavy is the fine, which is enough to make the newspaper bankrupt. In addition to local news, it is difficult for newspapers from other places to enter Chongqing. Chongqing stops mailing almost all newspapers from other places. Except for a few Kuomintang newspapers such as the Central Daily News, even newspapers such as the "Shenbao" and the Ta Kung Pao" are not allowed to enter Chongqing.

The control value of the press is an aspect of control. In terms of social structure, the tentacles of the Chongqing government extend into the grassroots units of society. The streets have street offices and village committees. The factory has a trade union, the Kuomintang committee, and the Three Youth League Committee. The school has held political classes since elementary school to teach "The Basics of the Three Principles of the People", "Selected Works of the Prime Minister", "Patriotism", "Collection of the President" and so on.

In addition to these institutions, every Chongqing citizen must also receive an ID card, both in work and accommodation. When you come to Chongqing from other places, you must apply for a temporary ID card for more than one month. This certificate is the certificate you must have when you work and stay in Chongqing.

In addition to these, there is also the difference between Chongqing and other places. There is basically no tax resident. Yang Yongtai has been to Jiangbei County and Beibei County in the past two months. He did not see a tax card along the way, and there was no child in the field. All children of the age of qualifying went to school. Yang Yongtai still remembered that he asked a vegetable seller on the way. The farmer told him that it would be impossible not to go. If the old man (i.e., his father) had to go to jail. Besides, it was a good thing to let the baby read some books. All his three babies went to school.

After a rough understanding of Chongqing, Yang Yongtai also understood why the promotion of the new life movement in Chongqing was so smooth and so tightly controlled. It would not work if it was not smooth.

However, what Yang Yongtai didn't understand was how Zhuang Jihua ensured the efficiency of implementation. The National Government implemented the Baojia system in Jiangxi and Fujian. The people were very resistant and had to use the army to ensure the implementation of the Baojia system. They were barely established. However, the administrative efficiency was extremely low. Some places even delayed for ten or half a month. The better ones would take three or four days.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with this," Zhuang Jihua explained to him on the way to Chengdu: "The Baojia system is very different from the system implemented in Chongqing. The Baojia system is established from top to bottom.]. We are established from bottom to top. Secondly, the people feel different. The Baojia system first harms the interests of the people, and then allows the people to gain benefits; and we first allow the people to gain benefits. If the people get the sweetness, they will naturally support our system."

"But the final result is no different." Yang Yongtai was very confused. Could no one see through his fickle techniques?

"This is different," Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "Most of the people will only see immediate interests, but they cannot see long-term interests, so let them get the benefits first and establish a management system. What happens in the future can be solved through this system, so Lao Bai will also warm up this system and support this system."

Yang Yongtai fell into deep thought. The huge contrast in reality forced him to rethink the Baojia system he proposed. The newly built was flat and spacious, with small bumps. Zhuang Jihua looked at the scenery outside the window comfortably.

"At the end of the year, the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway will be opened to traffic. Then there will be no need to be so troublesome to go to Chengdu." Zhuang Jihua suddenly said.

The most critical Tuojiang Bridge on the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway is almost completed. Sixteen tunnels have been opened on the entire line. Seven railway bridges have been built, and six have been completed. At present, nearly 100,000 people are building on the railway line every day.

"It's amazing. It's built in two years." Yang Yongtai praised, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. With the financial resources of Zhuang Jihua, he couldn't do anything.

"But this is not enough. The railway must be built out of Sichuan," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "It is not enough to send weapons and ammunition from Sichuan to the front line. There are also ships..."

Zhuang Jihua said this and turned to Yang Yongtai: "Do you think Liu Xiang will accept the principal's order?"

After Liu Xiang's defeat, Chiang Kai-shek not only asked Liu Xiang to rectify the Sichuan Army, but also asked Liu Xiang to rectify the Sichuan Army and hand over all the civil affairs powers in Sichuan, and choose a position between the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army and the chairman of Sichuan Province. It is obvious that Liu Xiang is an impossible army, so he must choose the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army. At that time, Yang Yongtai would naturally accept the position of chairman of Sichuan Province, and the mayor of Chongqing was taken over by Zhuang Jihua.

"It's probably difficult." Yang Yongtai felt that Chiang Kai-shek's steps were too fast, and Liu Xiang probably couldn't accept it: "The Chairman's action this time was too urgent, so he can actually sort it out first."

Zhuang Jihua nodded. He also thought that Chiang Kai-shek's moves were too big and Liu Xiang would definitely backfire. But before he could say anything, Yang Yongtai asked: "What do you think of Chongqing's new life movement?"

In July, Chiang Kai-shek established the New Life Movement Promotion Committee in Nanchang and served as the president. Xiong Shihui became the director general and officially promoted the New Life Movement nationwide. In August, Soong Mei-ling also served as the director of the Women's Movement, assisting Chiang Kai-shek in full swing to promote the New Life Movement.

Teng Jie served as the president of the New Life Association in Chongqing. Zhuang Jihua did not choose Chen Qikun as the director of the women's sports, but instead persuaded Pan Huiqin to take up this position. Li Zhilong certainly understood Zhuang Jihua's intentions.

The new life movement was successfully implemented in Chongqing. The streets and alleys were covered with slogans. Suits were almost extinct for a while. Zhongshan was covered with high-end hotels, and high-end hotels were deserted. Every street organized a cleaning team, and the streets were cleaned cleanly. Everything seemed to be fine.

The press has also started, and newspapers have explained in succession why the new life movement should be launched, what the new life movement should achieve, how to participate in the new life movement, and then the "advanced" deeds of the new life. Teng Jie fully exerted the power of public opinion control and made the entire movement vigorously.

"Teng Jie did a good job. As long as he could persevere, he would surely boost national confidence." Zhuang Jihua was very cautious and did not dare to reveal his true thoughts. In fact, he was not optimistic about this movement.

Except for Chongqing, the Kuomintang does not have strong grassroots organizations and lacks deep into the grassroots. It is difficult to ensure the depth and durability of the movement. Secondly, this movement is a bit like "abstinence". The guidance of the movement is abbreviated as the three transformations: the artistic life, the production life, and the militarization of life. I hope that the people "make diligent and open source, frugality to reduce expenses, knowing that luxury is not rude, and getting it without work is shameful, so as to save China's poverty and eliminate the source of chaos in China"; to keep those high-ranking officials and nobles simple, which can be done in a short time, but over time, I am afraid they will not be able to persevere themselves. Once they withdraw, the people will naturally withdraw.

"Our Chinese people are greedy for comfort. Some strange and strange talks from the West have messed up the thoughts of the Chinese people and forgotten the essence of Chinese culture: loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness, courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame; the Chairman hopes that through such a movement, the people can re-understand Chinese culture." Yang Yongtai suppressed his excitement. This movement still operates according to the orbit he designed around Chiang Kai-shek, which made him very excited and made him feel a little opportunity: "I think Chongqing is doing a good job and should report to the Chairman and let major cities across the country send people to learn."

"Mr. Changqing, you have the power to report the matter. You can definitely raise it to the Chairman." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.

"Of course," Yang Yongtai heard what Zhuang Jihua said. But he still said calmly: "Cultural Revolution. It turned out that I thought you were a military expert. Now it seems that you are good at the party, government and military. I want to ask you to come up with ideas. What else do you need to do in this movement now?"

Zhuang Jihua looked at Yang Yongtai with a little surprise. Yang Yongtai has always been conceited. What happened today? Yang Yongtai's eyes were very sincere. Zhuang Jihua thought about it and refused, "To be honest, I have too many things and have not studied them, so it's hard to speak."

Yang Yongtai didn't care at all and still said sincerely: "Everything is good at everything; why should we be humble in the Cultural Revolution?"

Zhuang Jihua closed his eyes and thought for a while and said, "I'll give you some opinions. I'm immature and don't know if it's right. Please refer to it."

"But it's okay."

"When I was in Guangzhou, a friend told me that China's problem was a peasant problem, because farmers account for the majority of the national land; I think his statement is correct, so in Chongqing, we have been paying close attention to the countryside and have paid great attention to protecting the interests of farmers. I think the same is true for the new life movement. It should not only stay in the city, but should go to the countryside. Only by launching the farmers can this movement be successful." Zhuang Jihua said with a careful word.

Yang Yongtai was silent. This involved the fundamental differences in the two people's views on existing problems in China. Although Yang Yongtai learned the law, he actually believed in Confucianism, advocated that scholars rule the world and adhered to the way of the ruler and ministers, and believed that by leading the people with ethical officials, they could get rid of China's current poverty and achieve the prosperity of the country. There were many Confucian officials and intellectuals like him who were outside the foreign countries and in the Republic of China during the Republic of China.

Zhuang Jihua didn't understand the ideas of people like them, and even if he understood them, he would sneer. Confucianism had long been gone before he came. He believed in it, but that he believed in law, management, and organization. Only in this way can China get rid of poverty and war. As for thought, go see his ghost.

"You have some similar views to Mr. Liang Shuming." Yang Yongtai said slowly after a long silence.

"I heard Mr. Lu Zuofu talk about this person," Zhuang Jihua immediately replied: "He also believes that only by solving the problem of farmers can we solve China's problems. However, the path he proposed was rural construction, allowing intellectuals to go to the countryside to help farmers, build schools in rural areas, and use schools as the basis of rural regimes, which is wrong."

After Zhuang Jihua arrived in Chongqing, Lu Zuofu once specially recommended rural construction to him, so he built a rural construction experimental zone in Beibei. However, Zhuang Jihua rejected it without hesitation, because the regime was not a school, and the real reason was that he had never heard of it in his previous life, which was obviously a failure.

Lu Zuofu was very disappointed with his attitude, so he did not recommend Liang Shuming and Yan Yangchu to him. It was not until two years later that Zhuang Jihua met one of them, and then he regretted it.

"Mr. Changqing, I plan to promote rent reduction in Chongqing next step. What do you think?" Zhuang Jihua asked that Yang Yongtai is the mayor of Chongqing and is nominally his boss, so it is very important to win his support.

"Okay," Yang Yongtai said without hesitation: "The National Government has had this law long ago. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, the National Government formulated the "Draft Law on the Protection of Field Farmers" and announced that the land rent could not exceed 40%. Zhang Jingjiang also tried it in Zhejiang, but the land tax was too heavy, and the gentry opposed it and had to stop. Chongqing was different from Zhejiang back then. In addition to not collecting agricultural taxes, it also had a strong inheritance organization, which fully qualified to implement this law."

But Yang Yongtai did not tell Zhuang Jihua how the gentry in Zhejiang opposed this law back then. It was because he saw blood. He wanted to touch Zhuang Jihua and then he would save the situation again and sell Zhuang Jihua to strengthen cooperation between the two sides.

The two of them seemed to chat in the car, so they set their work direction for the next few months. At the same time, they reached an agreement that Yang Yongtai will host the new life movement instead of Teng Jie, and Zhuang Jihua will promote rent reduction and interest reduction.
