Section 2 Reconstruction (4)

Zhuang Jihua was not worried about Liu Zhi at all... Liu Zhi is not Liu Zhi during the Mianhu War. He could still rush forward with a bayonet during Mianhu. Now his ambition has long dissipated without a trace. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, he once served as the commander of the Second Army, but the battle was terrible and he lost Shijiazhuang, Xingtai, Handan, Anyang and other places in succession.

In order to protect him, Chiang Kai-shek promoted him to the next level and became the deputy commander of the First War Zone, and asked Sun Lianzhong to replace the commander of the Second Army. Although Liu Zhi was also the deputy commander of the First War Zone, neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Li Zongren would let him lead troops. He himself was very tactful and stayed in the rear with peace of mind and made a fortune in silence. Even if Zhuang Jihua knew about these actions, he would pretend that he had not seen them.

"Mr. Guan, President Zhao, President Qian," After arranging the government's affairs, Zhuang Jihua approached Guan Ziwu and the other two: "Do you have any opinions or suggestions?"

Guan Ziwu was very supportive of the others, but this was the rent reduction..... The housekeeper was a gentry. Since he was a gentry, there was a lot of land around him. However, when facing Zhuang Jihua's strength, Guan Ziwu was a little hesitant, and his hesitation was seen by Zhuang Jihua.

"Does Mr. Guan have any ideas about rent reduction?" Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly and stared at him: "If you have any ideas, say it, you can say anything here."

Looking at Zhuang Jihua's relaxed look, Guan Ziwu felt relieved. He smiled bitterly and said, "Although my family has some land, I personally have no objection to reducing rent and interest rates. However, General Zhuang and the Japanese devils have suffered a lot of losses. Promoting rent and interest rates now will cause them to resist. Is this beneficial to the war of resistance? In addition, I heard that GCD also won the hearts of the people under the banner of reducing rent and interest rates... Will Wuhan support it?"

Although Guan Ziwu didn't say it clearly, Zhuang Jihua heard that you are learning gcd, will Chiang Kai-shek support it? Zhuang Jihua laughed and said, "Mr. Guan, I implemented rent reduction a few years ago in Chongqing. Gcd is my way. As for the local gentry." Zhuang Jihua calmed down and looked up at the people in the conference room: "I want to explain the truth to everyone that the War of Resistance is long-term and difficult. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people won the world. Without the support of the people, we cannot win this war. Their support is the only reliance for us to persist. The soldiers have to rely on them and the food has to rely on them, and what can they get? A lot? No, not much, just a food and clothing, but now they can't even make these little demands. Can they expect them to support us for a long time? No, so we have to reduce rent and interest rates to benefit the people."

"Yes, the landlords also suffer great losses, but the lean camels are bigger than horses. I believe their lives are better than those of the villagers. In addition," Zhuang Jihua looked at Guan Zixiu: "Mr. Guan, the War of Resistance requires us to be united. Reducing rent and interest rates is a powerful weapon to unite the lower class. As for resistance, I am not afraid of this. When I was promoting rent and interest rates in Chongqing, someone had shot my black gun, so I could shoot the black gun again."

Guan Ziwu's heart trembled. Except for Yu Xintao and Gong Xiuhua, others couldn't help but be surprised. When Zhuang Jihua was assassinated, the scope was controlled in Sichuan and had a very small impact outside Sichuan. No one knew about it. Guan Linzheng couldn't help asking: "Cultural Revolution, is this really happening? Who is so bold?"

Zhuang Jihua smiled: "The culprit has been found out and has been dealt with. Xintao knows that we have implemented rent reduction and interest rate reduction under the light of the knife. Several of the work captains have died, but now the effect has come out. Chongqing people’s support for the government is the highest in the country, and neither Japanese nor GCD can be shaken."

The confidence shown by Zhuang Jihua put a lot of pressure on Guan Ziwu. He understood that no matter what he said, it was useless. Zhuang Jihua had made up his mind to promote rent reduction even if he used force.

At this time, Jia Zhongxian stood up and said, "General Zhuang is right. He is united in the war of resistance. If the people cannot even have enough food to support the war of resistance, I will express my opinion on behalf of the fan club and firmly support the reduction of rent and interest."

Guan Ziwu also figured it out at this time, and he also stood up and said, "General Zhuang, I am convinced and support the War of Resistance and realize the three principles. Reducing rent and interest rates is a good way. I will help you. First, I will promote rent and interest rates in the archway shop. In addition, I will call on all the gentry and landlords in the archway shop to support them, so that they will live up to the general's expectations."

Zhuang Jihua was overjoyed when he heard this, saying, "Okay, with the help of a gentleman, the rent reduction will be implemented as soon as possible, and the villagers will suffer less."

Cao Xinping's heart was moved. He didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua would actually tell GCD on this occasion. Could it be that the purpose of implementing rent and interest reduction is not just to fight against the Japanese? There is also the factor of GCD? Isn't it cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party? Is the above policy going to change? He secretly began to make plans in his mind.

However, the one who knows Zhuang Jihua’s best is Gong Xiuhua. She fully understands that behind Zhuang Jihua’s measures, the purpose of rebuilding after the war was to establish a Chongqing-style grassroots party organization and control the entire eastern Henan. In the future, no matter the Japanese or GCD, there will be no soil for them to grow and germinate.

At the evening party, four documents were formed - refugee relief, rent reduction and interest reduction, and the improvement of the party organization and the mobilization outline of the whole people. Zhuang Jihua picked up a pen and signed the letter, and then sent it to the entire army and government agencies at all levels in the Fifth War Zone. The huge army and government machines began to rotate. Soldiers appeared in the fields to help villagers plant rice and build houses and repair roads.

Zhuang Jihua stayed in Yucheng for two more days, and then went to Xiayi to inspect. When he arrived at Xiayi, he pulled Pang Bingxun into the car and then left casually outside the city. As a result, he was quite satisfied. The troops had been sent out and the reconstruction work had begun.

Then he went to Dangshan for inspection and took Qiu Qingquan, who was stationed in Dangshan, Song Xilian and a large group of reporters to run around the field village. Song Xilian knew what Zhuang Jihua was doing, but it was a copy of the original inspection. Unexpectedly, when he walked to Guolou near Xuanmiao Town, the fast column stationed, looking at the sparse soldiers in the fields, Zhuang Jihua's face turned gloomy, and Qiu Qingquan hurriedly decided.

"Commander Zhuang, Commander Zhuang, we are tank soldiers and technical troops. Will we be exempted from going to the ground now?"

"Well," Zhuang Jihua looked at Qiu Qingquan with a smile, and the latter's heart suddenly rose: "Yes, you are precious and heroes again. It's amazing, so you can go and rest."

As he said that, Zhuang Jihua started to take off his clothes. When he started taking off his horse boots, Qiu Qingquan understood what he was going to do and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Commander, Commander, Senior, Senior, please spare me, I'm wrong, I'm wrong."

Zhuang Jihua pushed him away: "Go away, your hands are precious, you are the one who drives the tank. My hands are cheap, don't dirty your hands."

Qiu Qingquan was shocked and his face turned pale. Who was Zhuang Jihua? He was his boss in Huangpu. This was about to spread. Not to mention how Chiang Kai-shek would deal with him, he would become famous among Huangpu classmates.

"Senior, senior, you can't ruin me like this. I will transfer people immediately, and transfer people immediately. Can't I go? I'll go!" Then he asked Song Xilian for help: "Send it to you, Chief Song, Senior Song!"

At this time, Wu Ziniu and several guards also started to take off their clothes. Song Xilian hurriedly stopped him and then came to Zhuang Jihua: "Cultural Revolution, don't be excited. There are so many reporters, Qiu Qianzi, you already know that he was wrong, so you can let him go this time."

Zhuang Jihua's reporters were organized by the War Zone Propaganda Department and caught up with him in Xiayi. He happened to want to use their power, so he took them with him.

Seeing Song Xilian coming to plead, he stopped and scolded with a tense face: "You, Crazy Qiu, don't think that after you have made some contribution, your tail will rise up. Do you believe it or not, if you dare to lift it, I can cut it."

"Yes, yes," Qiu Qingquan nodded constantly like a woodpecker.

Seeing Zhuang Jihua dealing with Qiu Qingquan, Song Xilian couldn't help but feel happy. Qiu Qingquan's eyes were higher than the top, and he was soft but not hard. In private, Song Xilian had advised him, but he was all pretending that the wind was blowing in his ears. Now he was defeated and knew it was amazing.

"…, you have forgotten the teachings of the Prime Minister and the teachings of the principal Liao Dang Representative!" Zhuang Jihua said harshly: "Don't think that fighting is to save the country, and construction is also to save the country! Is it great to fight wars? Qiu Qianzi, I tell you that in a month, I will come to check. If there is still a disaster victim who has not lived in the new home, you should not be the commander of this fast column."

"I understand! Ensure the task is completed!" After hearing the last sentence, Qiu Qingquan's heart finally fell into his stomach.

The news of Qiu Qingquan being scolded quickly spread throughout the Five War Zones. Now no one dared to complain anymore. Even Tang Enbo sent his guard out. The entire eastern Henan became a large construction site, and the rear became lively.

"Refugees in eastern Henan urgently need assistance. I hope people from all walks of life donate money and materials!"

"It is urgent to rescue refugees in eastern Henan!"

"The house burns, we rebuild it; the enemy comes, fight it out!"

"Donate a piece of clothing, so refugees will not be frozen! Donate a quilt to warm the hearts of the people!"

………

Fan clubs in Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and Changsha, organized a large number of people to go to the streets to raise funds. Citizens donated a large number of cotton coats and robes to send them to eastern Henan, and distributed them to refugees through the fan club.

"Brother, come down to drink some water first, drink some water before drying!" The old lady shouted at the soldiers on the beam of the room with a bowl of water. At this moment, her face was no longer full of sorrow, but a sincere smile. Not far away was the tent where her family lived temporarily, with rice, noodles and quilts inside, which was enough to survive the spring famine.

"Good!"

The young soldier slid down the ladder and took the water bowl from the aunt, "Stay, take a break." The aunt took up a towel in distress and wiped his sweat.

Not far away, two reporters were interviewing Mr. Sheng, who seemed to turn a blind eye to the relationship between the military and civilians, and had no intention of taking a few photos with the camera on his chest. There were too many such situations and it was no wonder that they were used to it.

"The Movement Committee said that this year, no tax will be collected, no tax will be collected, only 375% of the rent will be paid. My land has been inserted, and my brothers have already helped me. I have never encountered such an army. The Japanese burned my house and our own army helped us build it again... It's better to be our own people. Thanks to the Chairman for sending us good officials."

The people were happy, so naturally some people were unhappy. Several gentry came to Che Jun’s home.

"Director of the car, do you care about it? Those movement committees are gcd,..."
