Chapter 256 Arrival in Nandu
Chapter 256 Arrival in Nandu
The Intelligence Department has set up some tents on the roadside, so everyone can only spend the night in tents and trucks.
Looking at the mountains and forests on both sides, Fang Jian muttered to himself: "Nanchuan has many hills and mountains. This place is just right for breeding. Jiwu's arrangement is still good."
Of course, if Nanchuan wants to run aquaculture on a large scale, the problem that needs to be solved is the sales problem.
After the scale is expanded, the Nanshan factory will no longer be able to handle the business and will need to find other channels.
After resting until six o'clock, the intelligence agent brought food and gave it to Wei Hanzhou.
"Commander, dinner is ready." After the food was served, Wei Hanzhou came forward and said.
Since we were in the wild, we only had some broth and rice, and some canned food supplied by the Nanshan factory, so the meal was quite substantial.
Other warlords rarely had their soldiers eat rice during marches and battles. After all, rice alone was difficult to swallow and the taste was very bland.
Without side dishes, rice would just be wasted. Generally, soldiers would eat steamed buns, cakes, noodles, etc.
The Nanshan Army was different. They were supplied with rice even during the march and during war. Even if there was a lack of vegetables, they had canned meat to go with the rice.
When they came to the small table, they saw not only broth, but also canned beef, pork, canned fruit, etc. The variety was naturally much better than the food for ordinary soldiers.
After Fang Jian sat down, he called out to Wei Hanzhou, Wang Hu and others, "Hanzhou, Wang Hu, sit down and eat together."
"commander……"
The two were about to refuse but were interrupted by Fang Jian, who waved his hand and said, "Out there, we are all comrades. There is no commander or no commander. Come and sit down."
"Yes." The two of them answered and sat down to eat with emotion.
After dinner, Fang Jian was digesting his food on the side of the road. Tao Yunong had already interrogated Mr. Wang and the town officials, and quickly came to Fang Jian.
"Commander, it has been examined clearly."
Francis asked, "What is the specific situation?"
Fang Jian attached great importance to this matter. Although he did not change the overall political structure of Nanchuan, since the government had already made the request, the local authorities dared to disobey it, which he could not tolerate.
Today's Fang Jian is no longer the militia commander who just arrived in Xinyuan. He does not have the strength to overturn the table when facing the three major families.
With an army of more than 600,000, Fang Jian already has the strength and confidence to overturn the table.
Tao Yunong introduced: "Mr. Wang is related to the chief of the General Affairs Section of the county. This matter was led by the General Affairs Section. In addition to Xinguan Town, this matter has also occurred in other places in Dianshan County."
The Dachang Village where they stayed was under the jurisdiction of Xinguan Town, which was under the jurisdiction of Dianshan County.
"In addition to collecting road construction fees, there are also road maintenance fees, toll fees, etc...."
After listening to Tao Yunong's introduction, Fang Jian's face turned pale. These people really want to make a fuss about the road. Do they not intend to give these villagers a way to survive?
He is really brave and uses all kinds of tricks to make money.
Fang Jian suppressed his anger and ordered: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. No one involved in Nanchuan should be let off."
"We should also send people to Nanshan Province to investigate and see if similar situations have occurred before."
"Don't worry, Commander. I will send people to conduct a thorough investigation right away and will not let you down." Tao Yunong assured.
Then Fang Jian said, "We will raid the house of the rich man Wang tonight, gather the villagers tomorrow morning, and return all the extra money to them."
"Yes." After answering, Tao Yunong went downstairs to arrange the house search.
Early the next morning, the villagers of Dachang Village gathered in front of the house of wealthy owner Wang.
"Why did these soldiers ask us to come here so early in the morning?"
"Who knows? They won't give us money, will they?"
"What good things are you thinking? It's good enough that I don't ask you to pay."
Looking at the soldiers standing guard, more and more villagers gathered and started to discuss quietly. Some expected these soldiers to make decisions for them, while others did not trust them at all.
At exactly eight o'clock, after having breakfast, Fang Jian arrived in front of the mansion under the escort of Wei Hanzhou and others.
Standing on the steps in front of the house, looking at the gathered villagers, Fang Jian said: "I am the governor of Nanshan and also the governor of Nanchuan."
"Yesterday I saw Wang Youcai openly disobeying government orders. Last night I had people raid Wang Youcai's home."
When the villagers heard Fang Jian say that he was the military commander and had raided Wang Youcai's house, they were instantly in an uproar.
Although Fang Jian gave an introduction yesterday, not many people heard it. Today, more than a thousand people gathered here, and all the villagers of Dachang Village are here.
After waving his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, Fang Jian added: "The government will never tolerate those who deceive their superiors and subordinates and run rampant in the countryside."
"I have gathered you all here today, first to inform you of this matter, and second to return all the ill-gotten gains that Mr. Wang has taken to you."
"What? Is this true?" Upon hearing that Fang Jianan returned the money, the villagers in the audience all looked incredulous.
Afterwards, Fang Jian arranged for Tao Yunong to be in charge, and according to the amount of money recorded in the account book, he returned double the money to everyone.
Fang Jian stepped back and returned to the convoy.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Tao Yunong had just finished handling the matter. He came to Fang Ji'an and asked, "Commander, how do we deal with Wang Youcai's house and land?"
"Let's confiscate the house. The scenery here is nice. Maybe it can be turned into a tourist attraction in the future." Fang Jian said with a smile.
This is not a joke. When there was no road before, transportation here was inconvenient. But when Nanchuan Province developed in the future, this place would be a good choice to develop tourism.
After thinking for a while, Fang Jian said: "All these lands will be distributed to the villagers, but the ownership of the land belongs to the government and private individuals are not allowed to buy or sell it."
"The government is not allowed to buy, sell or redistribute these lands. Yunong, have the people from the Intelligence Department keep a closer eye on them."
"Yes, Commander." Tao Yunong responded immediately.
When Tao Yunong announced Fang Jian's decision, the villagers cheered again.
"The Governor is a really good man."
"We now have hope for our future lives."
"I also want to be a soldier and serve the warlord."
"..."
The convoy continued to head towards Nandu as the villagers saw them off. However, Su Lin from the Intelligence Department and a battalion of troops were left behind to deal with other local issues in Dianshan County and to arrest problematic officials in Dianshan County.
Along the way, villagers were seen protesting in many places, but Fang Jian did not care.
Just let your subordinates handle these things. There is no need to do it yourself, which will only waste time and reduce efficiency.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy arrived at the East City of Nandu. Zhuang Jiwu and others had already been waiting outside the East City to greet them.
"commander."
Nodding slightly, after exchanging greetings with everyone, Fang Jian said, "Jiwu, take me to where I live."
"Yes."
Zhuang Jiwu was riding in the same car with Fang Jian. He felt a little uneasy because he had heard some news about what happened in Dianshan County, but the details were still unclear.
The convoy arrived at the Governor's Mansion, which had already been tidied up and was specially left by Zhuang Jiwu for Fang Jian to live in.
As for the Governor's Office, it has now become a government office.
