The income of more than 70% of the families in Wenshan area is related to the cultivation of yao millet, and many families do not know how to grow food at all.

Although the price of drugs is expensive, the families who grow yao millet are very poor. The roughly processed yao tablets can only be sold to local drug dealers, and the income they obtain is very meager. In addition, the men at home smoke yao tablets and have to buy yao tablets that have been refined, which is much higher, so every household lives very hard.

If you want to improve people's living standards, the only way is to quit the yaki slices. The first thing you need to do in Wenshan area is to prohibit the planting of yaki millet.

For this, Gao Jiu had already made preparations in advance.

After consultation with the Administrative Committee, it was decided to completely abolish the cultivation of yao millet in Wenshan area, and confiscate the finished and semi-finished yao slices in the hands of everyone.

In order not to arouse public opposition, Gao Jiu invested a large amount of money to acquire finished and semi-finished ya tablets according to the average local market price. The yao millet grown in the fields should estimate its output and give a reasonable price to purchase.

The administrative committee will organize various villages and towns, and the business experts in the research institute will guide the planting of grains, sugarcane and other crops, and free seeds will be distributed to them. From then on, the cultivation of yao millet in Wenshan area will be cut off.

The Construction Workers’ Self-Defense Force will strengthen patrols around the Wenshan area and crack down on drug traffickers to prevent the outside world from inflowing drugs.

Drug detoxification teams are established in villages with more than 100 people, and drug detoxification is carried out for adulterers.

For the Administrative Committee, Gao Jiu fully played their role and handed over all these tasks to the Administrative Committee for completion.

Mara Nian suggested that the source of all drug users should not be cut off at once. It can be distributed uniformly by the administrative committee, and then gradually reduce the number and times of issuance, so that the process of drug rehabilitation can be gradually progressive.

Gao Jiu adopted his suggestion and let the administrative committee handle these matters on its own.

To completely solve the drug problem, it is not possible to rely solely on coercion. Although the profit of growing yao millet is not high, it is still higher than that of growing cereals. If the people want to change their previous production habits willingly, they must get more economic benefits.

In this regard, Gao Jiu decided to subsidize grain purchases for farmers who grow grains, so that their income is higher than that of millet.

Organize construction workers’ self-defense forces to assist the people in reclamation of wasteland and increase the area of ​​grain planting to increase farmers’ income.

In order to encourage local farmers to grow cash crops, especially sugarcane, Gao Jiu decided to establish a large sugar production factory in Mawan Town to purchase sugarcane from farmers.

If you want farmers to get rich, relying solely on farming is not enough. You must vigorously develop industry. Gaojiu asked the institute to conduct an investigation, adapt to local conditions, establish a corresponding industrial system based on local resources, recruit local surplus laborers to work in factories, carry out infrastructure construction, especially transportation facilities construction, hire a large number of local people, and increase the income level of local people.

In order to get local people out of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, Gao Jiu decided to establish a pharmaceutical factory in the local area, focusing on the production of anti-Japanese drugs and whipped oil essence, and the products are directly supplied to countries and regions around the Golden Triangle.

In addition to the above measures, in order to completely mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers, land reform must be implemented.

In the Wenshan area and even the entire Golden Triangle area, a large amount of land is widely concentrated in the hands of a few landlords, and the vast majority of people are basically the tenants of these landlords.

Land reform is a major measure that touched the fundamentals of society, and Gao Jiu personally participated in the entire process of land reform.

After the warlord Wen Li Kun was eliminated, the large tracts of land occupied by Wen Li Kun and his core subordinates were taken over by the Administrative Committee and land was allocated to the local poor farmers. However, these lands were far from enough, and Gao Jiu had to do the work of connecting those big landlords.

Mara Nian himself is a big landlord, and his family's land accounts for 1/3 of the entire village. Although Mara Nian supports land reform, the administrative committee cannot allow Mara Nian to personally bear the losses. If he bears losses due to this, then other landlords will definitely boycott the land reform and even resist fiercely, and social contradictions will greatly intensify.

After repeated consultations, Gao Jiu and Mara Nian developed a solution.

Large landlords who own more than 100 acres of land, except for the original homestead, retain 20% of the land and take out the remaining 80% of the land to participate in land reform.

These lands are not donated free of charge, but are based on land investment, participating in the construction of factories, road traffic, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure, and occupying corresponding shares according to the amount of land submitted.

After calculation, the income of these land shares will greatly exceed the income generated by planting crops on the land, so that it will basically be accepted by landlords.

After the policy was formulated, Marainian and the members of the Administrative Committee talked with the big landlords and solicited their opinions, but there were basically no big differences.

Marainian and the members of the Administrative Committee took the lead in participating in the land reform, and the landlords basically supported it, which provided a large amount of land for the Administrative Committee.

After sufficient preparation, the Administrative Committee implemented land reform. The vast majority of people were able to share the land, and everyone cheered and supported the Administrative Committee with great enthusiasm.

In just three months, with the efforts of Gao Jiuhe Administrative Committee, the entire Wenshan area has wiped out the previous decadent and backwardness, and replaced it with a prosperous scene.

During these three months, drug rehabilitation work has also made great progress. A large number of addicts have quit drug addiction and have greatly increased the labor force in the Wenshan area.

Due to the mobilization of the enthusiasm of the majority of farmers, all work of the Administrative Committee has been carried out quite smoothly.

The Administrative Committee has also established a 500-person self-defense force. The entire Wenshan area has full-time and semi-final armed personnel, with a total of more than 5,500 people.

Gao Jiu sent a special forces team to strengthen the training of the self-defense forces under the administrative committee. The construction company's self-defense forces are responsible for the training of militia organizations in various villages and towns, and continuously enhance the combat effectiveness of the armed forces under the administrative committee.

Wang Guisheng and others heard about Gao Jiu's actions in the Wenshan area and led the Kokang Regional Administrative Committee to the Wenshan area for inspection. The results of the inspection surprised them very much.

They saw that in towns, factories were rising, roads were paved, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and residential buildings were being built. There was no grain in the countryside, and various crops were replaced.

The people they saw here before were all hopeless and numb faces, and now they saw vivid faces full of hope for life. People’s eyes shined with enthusiasm for labor and their longing for a better life in the future.

The members of the Kokang Autonomous Committee visited the Wenshan area for a whole week. They decided to follow the example of the Wenshan area and carry out social reform after they returned.

During these three months, Gao Jiu spent more effort than in the previous year. Some ordinary and trivial things cost him more energy than Gao Jiu's victory over thousands of enemies.

However, Gao Jiu was very pleased with the achievements made in the Wenshan area. With the achievements of social reform in Wenshan area, he was full of confidence in transforming the entire Golden Triangle area.

That morning, Long Yingyuan led a convoy to Mawan Town. The convoy transported a large number of factory equipment and more than 300 recruited workers. Most of these workers were Han people, and so far, this is the fourth batch. Now, the number of Han people in Wenshan area has increased by more than 800. After the residential area is completed, many families of people will also relocate here. As time goes by, the proportion of Han people will increase greatly.

Long Guobi was also with Long Yingyuan. Long Yingyuan kept telling her that the conditions in Wenshan are still very poor now and she was worried that she would suffer. But the young lady made up her mind that even if life was inconvenient, she would have to work in Mawan Town. She said she was Gao Jiu's administrative secretary, and Gao Jiu was here, so she, the administrative secretary, had to come.

Gao Jiu also had a headache when he saw Long Guobi, saying that it was far behind here. Unlike in the city, there were many poisonous insects and beasts, and the sanitation conditions were not good. The most important thing was that taking a bath was difficult, and he wanted to use these difficulties to scare Long Guobi away.

To be honest, just one bathing difficulty made Long Guobi a little embarrassed. However, when she saw that the dormitory areas were basically completed, she knew that these difficulties would be solved soon. So she said that she was not afraid of the difficulties and firmly demanded to stay.

Gao Jiu was helpless and had to agree to her request.

This time, Charlie Li, who came from Taohua Mountain, came here specially. Because he wanted to build a large comprehensive hospital in Mawan Town, Gao Jiu specially asked Charlie Li to preside over the construction of the hospital.

Before Charlie Lee came, he recruited a large number of medical workers in Chongqing and Kunming. When the hospital was completed, they would come to report one after another.

When Charlie Lee's wife and children first went to Taohua Mountain, they always wanted to leave Taohua Mountain and then go to the United States. Later, they got used to life in Taohua Mountain, so they never wanted to leave again. This time they also followed Charlie Lee to the Wenshan area. Seeing the prosperous scene in the Wenshan area, they decided to take root here with their husbands.

During this period, Gao Jiu was far away from the war and almost forgot that he was at the most intense moment of the world war.

Chongqing. The official residence of a big shot.

The big man didn't hear anything from Gao Jiu for a while. He was too busy these days and was busy strengthening contact with Britain, the United States and other countries. He did forget Gao Jiu. Otherwise, if he wanted to know, someone would tell him immediately.

While having breakfast, he asked, "Madam, what has Gao Jiu been doing recently?" He knew that the aviation committee chaired by his wife was very close to Gao Jiu, and there must be news about Gao Jiu.

Sure enough, the wife said: "Two days ago, I sent a telegram with Gao Jiu and entrusted him to purchase a batch of aircraft equipment in the United States. Now he has gone to a place called Wenshan, Shan State, Myanmar, where he set up an administrative committee to manage civil affairs."

The big man became interested in this matter and said, "Gao Jiuyi has never had political ambitions. How did he go there to do civil affairs? He was simply not doing his job properly. Now there are Japanese people everywhere, and how big is Shan State in Myanmar? The place called Wenshan is at most the size of a county. What's the point of him going there to be a mountain king?"

Gao Jiu set up an administrative committee, which has a certain political color. However, if Gao Jiu does not make trouble in China, he will not involve the interests of the National Government. He will do whatever he wants. Big people will not care about it, he just feels a pity.

Now, the Anti-Japanese War is in full swing, and Gao Jiu, a man who can fight, ran to a remote mountainous area, which is a waste of talent.

But the wife didn't think so. She said: "The place where Gao Jiu went is the Golden Triangle area, which is famous for drug production. After only a few months, he wiped out the drug dealers in the Wenshan area, cut off all the yao millet planting, and basically eliminated the bad habits of local residents to take drugs. This is an amazing achievement."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" The big man became even more interested. The ya films have a deep poison to China, and the National Government has never been able to solve this problem. Especially after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the ya films were not only the main source of economic income for many local warlords, but even used the ya films as military pay to soldiers.

The accompanying capital of the National Government is now in Chongqing, and the ya films in Sichuan are very rampant, which will have a great impact on the economy in the rear.

He said: "Madam, please ask Gao Jiu to write a report to see what good experience he has worth learning from."

After straightening out the matters at the pharmaceutical factory, Ouyang Xue returned to the aviation committee at the invitation of her wife and continued to serve as her wife's administrative secretary and a spokesperson for the aviation committee.

That morning, Ouyang Xuelai reported to his wife about the arrangements for the meetings in the past few days. The wife said: "Ruoxue, please inform Gao Jiu to give a detailed understanding of what he did in the Wenshan area, especially about drug control, and write a report. Your brother-in-law wants to take a look."

Ouyang Xue said: "This matter is quite complicated. He is very busy. I want to go there in person to help him write this report."

The lady knew that she wanted to meet Gao Jiu. If she wanted to write a local situation report, there would be an administrative committee that was familiar with the situation. This was a very easy thing. Gao Jiu didn't need to write it on his hands, and it wasn't Ouyang Xue who ran all the way to write it for him.

The lady held back her laughter and said, "You are right. It's very remote. People can't read. It's probably difficult to write an investigation report. It's true that you, a reporter, need to summarize it for them. Princess."

Speaking of this, the lady couldn't help laughing.

Ouyang Xue's face turned red, and she was embarrassed to say something else.

The lady said, "If you want to go, go. I will find someone to replace you at your current job."

"Thank you cousin," Ouyang Xue said happily.
Chapter completed!
