The various measures taken by Gao Jiu after he arrived in the Golden Triangle area were all to help the local residents. Generally speaking, it was generally welcomed by the local people, so it was normal for some people to have opinions. However, it was a bit unusual that he actually gathered to the administrative committee to protest.

Gao Jiu was very curious, so he followed Mala Nian to the Administrative Committee.

Sure enough, there were many local people standing at the entrance of the yard of the Administrative Committee, with about sixty or seventy people. They were noisy and some were more excited, but they did not have a fierce conflict with the Self-Defense Force.

After the incident, Tian Chuan had already arrived here first. He directed the Self-Defense Force of the Administrative Committee to maintain order on the spot. When he saw Gao Jiu coming, he shouted loudly: "Jiu Master is here. If you all have any questions, you can report to Jiu Master."

Although Gao Jiu did not serve in the administrative committee, the people in the Golden Triangle region knew who was the master of the country. Gao Jiu's legendary deeds were also widely circulated among the local people and had a high prestige.

I heard that Gao Jiu was coming, and everyone stopped clamoring and waited for him to come.

Gao Jiu waved to everyone with a smile and came to everyone. He said kindly: "Famous people, what difficulties have you encountered? Or any grievances? You can tell me. As long as I can solve it, I will definitely help you."

There were several leaders among the people who just mentioned the protest. One of the middle-aged man said, "Mr. Gao Jiu, the Administrative Committee said that people from other places and local residents will treat them equally. But when you really encounter problems, it is not the case and it is not fair at all."

"Yes, yes, it's not fair." Many people agreed.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "What's wrong with it? Tell me."

The middle-aged man told everyone the whole story.

It turns out that there are many factories and various public institutions in the North District of the Golden Triangle, providing many jobs, and the income of these positions is relatively high, but most of these positions are occupied by outsiders, and only a few local people can join in, so local residents complain that they are unfair.

Gao Jiu asked about Mara Nian's recruitment of public officials, and also asked Ouyang Xue about the employment of industrial enterprises, and understood what the problem was.

It turns out that most local people have low educational levels, and many of them are even illiterate. In addition, the local language is very complex, and there are 11 different languages ​​circulating in the Golden Triangle area. There are also official languages, which are English, but few people know English. Even if they understand some English, they can only communicate simply and they can't understand the words at all.

It is understandable that neither administrative units nor factories are willing to recruit such people, but this creates contradictions.

After thinking about it, Gao Jiu brought a box of anti-Japanese medicine, which was written in Chinese and English. Gao Jiu picked up the instructions and said to the people who came to protest: "Who can understand the content on this?"

Everyone looked at each other. After a long time, one or two people came up to identify it. After reading for a long time, they couldn't understand the content above. Everyone felt very embarrassed.

Gao Jiu said, "Dear fellow villagers! I will ask you a question. Whether you are a manual or a farmer, if someone comes to your house to help, but he can't do it, will you still hire him?"

Everyone was asked, and a craftsman who made bamboo tools said, "Someone wants to apprentice me. If he is too stupid, I won't want it."

Gao Jiu said: "That's the reason. You all have a poor level of education. The machinery and equipment in the factory need to be educated to operate. Those public officials must be able to write documents, and you can't do these things. If you are the boss of the factory or the leader of the administrative committee, will you hire uneducated people?"

Everyone was very depressed, and a young man said, "Then we can learn."

Gao Jiu asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zuolinwu." The young man said shyly when he saw Gao Jiu asking him.

Gao Jiu said: "It's great! Zuolinwu is right. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have education. We can all learn. The Administrative Committee will build more industrial enterprises in the future and expand public institutions. As long as you improve your cultural level and be competent for related jobs, are you still afraid of not being able to find a job?"

A young man in his twenties said, "I have never learned culture since I was a child. What should I do if I can't learn it?"

Gao Jiu said: "The people who work in factories and those who work in administrative committees are all human beings. If they can learn, you will definitely be able to do it. As long as you are willing to work hard to learn, there is nothing you can't learn.

Now I can promise everyone here that as long as you study culture hard and be competent for the corresponding work, I guarantee that all new enterprises in the future will give priority to hiring local residents under the same conditions.

As for how you learn culture, the Administrative Committee will definitely provide you with convenience. Do you think this is good? We will hold a meeting to popularize cultural education in the entire Golden Triangle region, which will take a little time. You all go back first, and the Administrative Committee will issue relevant notices soon."

Everyone followed Gao Jiu's opinion, and Zuolinwu said, "Master Jiu, we all believe in you, then we will go back and wait."

Everyone dispersed.

Gao Jiu said to Mara Nian: "You notify the relevant departments of the Administrative Committee and invite the leaders of all tribes in the Golden Triangle region to hold a seminar to promote cultural education."

In fact, this situation was expected by Gao Jiu. After Gao Jiu entered the Golden Triangle, he did not carry out cultural education with great fanfare. He only established some schools, mainly targeting Chinese people. This is not discrimination against local residents, but respect for them, because different local ethnic groups have their own different languages. If Chinese is forcibly popularized, they will be disgusted by them or even fiercely resisted. Gao Jiu must let them learn Chinese voluntarily.

Nowadays, people of all ethnic groups in the Golden Triangle envy those who work in public institutions and factories. They have the desire to learn Chinese. In this case, Gao Jiu can only take advantage of the situation and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Gao Jiu said at the meeting: "If everyone speaks different languages ​​in an army and the commander speaks, the soldiers don't understand it, can such a force fight?

In the factory, if the engineers speak but the workers don’t understand, there will be trouble. Therefore, in our Golden Triangle region, there should be a unified language and culture."

More than 30 leaders of various tribes in the Golden Triangle Region attended the meeting, and everyone understood what Gao Jiu said.

In the past, because the two neighboring villages were different tribes, they could not understand each other's words and life was inconvenient, but they were reluctant to let them give up their own language and learn other people's languages. Their people went out to do business, but because of the lack of language, it was also difficult, which seriously restricted the development of tribal economic and cultural development.

Gao Jiu said: "I will give you a suggestion. The Administrative Committee fully respects the language habits of various tribes. Everyone continues to retain their own cultural traditions in their daily lives and learn Chinese and English on this basis."

What Gao Jiu said was not only to learn Chinese, but also to learn English because this area was a British colony. For a long time, the British forced English education, and the local English was already the official language and was widely popularized to a large extent.

Gao Jiu continued: "I can assure you that the Administrative Committee will not forcefully promote the study of Chinese or English like the British colonists. Whether to learn Chinese or English depends entirely on everyone's voluntary behavior. However, it will definitely provide corresponding learning conditions for everyone to learn."

After Gao Jiu finished speaking, Mara Nian, on behalf of the Administrative Committee, announced relevant measures to promote Chinese and English education in the Golden Triangle region, mainly including:

Literacy classes are established in all villages in the Golden Triangle, and bilingual primary schools are established in villages with more than 500 people or in several villages with a total of more than 500 people. In towns with more than 2,000 people or areas with more than 2,000 residents, middle schools are established, and a comprehensive university and a vocational and technical college are established in the North District of the Golden Triangle.

All residents in the Golden Triangle area, both men, women, and young and old, can receive education, and all education is free. People over 18 years old who participate in full-time study can receive certain living subsidies.

All women have the same right to receive education as men and enjoy the same treatment.

Among the students studying in school, those with excellent grades will enjoy scholarships, etc.

The leaders of various tribes had no objection to such generous conditions provided by the Administrative Committee. They said that after they returned, they persuaded the people of their own tribe to receive the Chinese-English bilingual education advocated by the Administrative Committee.

Gao Jiu was also very happy about this result. Being able to allow the people to voluntarily participate in cultural learning has laid a good foundation for improving the cultural and educational level of the entire Golden Triangle region.

All undertakings in the North District of the Golden Triangle are booming, but Gao Jiu is not in a hurry to promote it to other areas of the Golden Triangle. On the one hand, Gao Jiu still needs to constantly explore a set of mature and effective management experience and a healthy and effective development model. Another reason is that it is economic pressure.

So far, most of the capital investment in the entire Golden Triangle region was provided by the Taohuashan guerrillas led by Gao Jiu. Although Gao Jiu has many profitable industries, the pressure is still very huge. This requires gradually developing the economy. When the Golden Triangle region itself generates profits, can be equal to the investment, and starts to make profits, Gao Jiu can further expand the occupied area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

Nowadays, a large number of schools are needed to promote free education in the Golden Triangle area, which is another astronomical expense. Gao Jiu must expand his source of income.

The British Governor's Office in Myanmar has restored its rule over most parts of Myanmar and has also greatly restored its economic capabilities. They will naturally express their gratitude to Gao Jiu for his help.

Gao Jiu met with the British Governor in Myanmar and discussed with him about commercial cooperation in the Golden Triangle, Kokang region and the areas controlled by the Myanmar Governor's Office.

Gao Jiu established many enterprises affiliated to Taohuashan in Ruili, Kokang area and the Golden Triangle. In addition to being sold to the mainland, Myanmar is also a good market, which can earn a lot of foreign exchange for Taohuashan guerrillas.

In order to thank Gao Jiu for his help and to continue to help the Myanmar Governor's Office resist the Japanese invasion, the British Governor's Office in Myanmar provided Gao Jiu with very generous trading conditions.

Not only that, it also agreed to Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas to develop several large minerals in Myanmar, and even provided Gao Jiu with two large jade mines for free.

At the same time, it promised that if the Taohuashan guerrillas were required to send troops to fight in the future, they would provide supplies and corresponding military expenses.

In this way, Gao Jiu expanded another channel for economic growth.

German engineer Leo, Lucas, has been transferred from Taohua Mountain to be responsible for the construction of the arsenal.

Today's arsenal has mature products. In addition to the production of ordinary rifles and bullets, there are also special products such as bazooka, radio infantry radio and radar. The products are in short supply and orders cannot be received. Nowadays, it is a war-torn era, and the easiest thing to make money is arms.

In the South Wen Valley, Gao Jiu is investing in the construction of the largest arsenal in Southeast Asia.

In order to attract talents, Gao Jiu offered generous conditions. Any experts and engineering technicians from all countries who are willing to come to the Golden Triangle will provide them with generous salary and living conditions such as villas and cars.

In this regard, Xiao Yatong and Li Shasha both helped a lot. They mobilized a large number of technical talents from the United States and the United Kingdom respectively, and Gao Jiu also recruited many technical personnel from Germany and Sulian. For a time, in the North District of the Golden Triangle, blonde and blue-eyed foreigners could be seen everywhere.

Today's Golden Triangle region has changed from its previous desolate poverty and turned into a treasure pot. In order to defend the fruits of victory, Gao Jiu is under much pressure.

Gao Jiu decided to expand the Taohuashan Special Forces Brigade into the Taohuashan Special Forces Corps. Gao Jiu was appointed as the captain of the squadron, with 350 people directly under the jurisdiction of the squadron, and Guo Hengming was appointed as the captain.

The first brigade of the special forces is led by Zhang Quan as the captain, and the second brigade of the special forces is led by Wang Zhankui as the captain. The brigade is divided into 4 squadrons, each squadron has 200 people, and the entire special forces unit has 2,040 people.

The Self-Defense Force of the Construction Company was expanded into the Self-Defense Corps with a total force of 3,600 people, and Tianchuan was appointed as the captain of the Corps.

The Self-Defense Forces under the Administrative Committee have been expanded to 1,200 people and 5,500 basic militiamen.

With such a powerful armed force, Gao Jiu has full confidence to defend the security of the Golden Triangle region.
