HCB Chapter 294 Trivia
Chapter 294 Trivia
Nanling, People's Government of the Great New Kingdom.
The government building was the former headquarters and is now used as a government office.
After the territory expanded to fifteen provinces, there were more affairs to deal with and it became more busy.
After approving a document, Fang Jian asked Zhuang Jiwu to come over and asked, "Jiwu, how is the task of recruiting soldiers going?"
"Chairman, more than 1.8 million people have been recruited from all over the country." Zhuang Jiwu introduced embarrassedly.
Fang Jian frowned and said, "Let's do this. Send a telegram to the garrisons in various places and ask them to select officers to train these newly recruited soldiers."
"Yes, Chairman."
Zhuang Jiwu responded, and seeing that Fang Jian had no other instructions, he asked, "Commander, what should we do with the captured prisoners?"
"Once the garrisons in various places have stabilized the areas, we will let these prisoners build roads." Speaking of prisoners, Fang Jian couldn't help but smile.
Hearing that these people were asked to build roads, Zhuang Jiwu smiled. At first, Zhuang Jiwu was also very troubled about how to deal with these prisoners, but when the size of the army expanded, he was no longer worried.
Now they have a total of more than one million troops. Although there are more prisoners, there is no need to worry that the riots will be difficult to suppress.
Although the Nanchuan troops in various places were newly formed and the soldiers had only been trained for a few months, it was still no problem for them to suppress these prisoners.
After Zhuang Jiwu left, Fang Jian began to browse official documents and approve files.
Not long after, Wang Hu came in and reported, "Chairman, Minister Li wants to see you."
"Let him in." Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that Wang Hu was talking about Li Feng, so he immediately said.
Li Feng is also an old man in Xinyuan. Among the officials of Xinyuan at that time, apart from Chen Guangwen, Li Feng was the only one serving in the government.
Chen Guangwen's official position is not as high as Li Feng's. He is only a mayor, at the level of a full-time department head. He is still two levels short of a ministerial-level official, namely, a deputy director and a full-time director.
Soon, Wang Hu brought Li Feng into the office. After seeing Fang Jian, Li Feng's tired body forced himself to cheer up and shouted, "Chairman!"
"Minister Li, come and sit down." Fang Jian stood up, took him to the sofa beside him and motioned him to sit down.
A servant brought tea and handed it to the two of them.
After the attendant left, Fang Jian said, "Minister Li, you have to find someone else to take over the school construction in Nanchuan."
"Commander, Nanchuan's education has just started. If you want to remove me from my position, can you wait until it is on the right track next year?" Hearing this, Li Feng panicked a little, thinking that Fang Jianan wanted to replace him, so he hurriedly said.
Fang Jian was stunned, and immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly explained, "Minister Li misunderstood. This time I asked you to come here to still be in charge of education."
"As you know, we have occupied thirteen provinces, and the construction and development of these thirteen provinces cannot be left behind."
"I have decided to give you full authority to coordinate the education in these places and build schools to develop education."
Hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but frown. He had limited energy and his talent was not outstanding. It was okay for him to be in charge of Nanshan and Nanchuan, but he felt a little unconfident about managing the thirteen provinces.
So Li Feng said in embarrassment: "Chairman, I am afraid that I am not qualified to take charge of the Thirteen Provinces. How about you choose someone else?"
"Minister Li, you don't have to do it yourself, just keep the direction." Fang Jian shook his head.
"I will let Zhuang Jiwu cooperate with you and help you select fourteen directors of education to be responsible for the development of education in each province. You can coordinate them."
Since Nanshan Province has a Director of Education, only fourteen need to be selected.
After more than four years of getting along, Fang Jian still trusts Li Feng very much. Li Feng's ability is not outstanding, but he is diligent in his work.
Li Feng was very touched by Fang Ji'an's trust. He had been sent to Xinyuan before and sat on the bench. His career was not going well and he could not do what he liked and contribute to the cause of education.
Since meeting Fang Jian, his educational career, from Xinyuan to Fenglin and then to Nanshan, has been completely completed under his overall planning. He feels very fulfilled and very happy.
Now that I have gained his trust and entrusted the entire fifteen provinces' education to me, how can he not be moved?
Thinking of this, Li Feng immediately expressed his opinion: "Please rest assured, Chairman. I will do my best to develop the education in these places."
"Minister Li, you have to work, but you also have to take care of your health and get more rest." Seeing the fatigue on Li Feng's face, Fang Jian couldn't help but say with concern.
Li Feng said perfunctorily: "Thank you for your concern, Chairman. I will pay more attention to it."
Fang Jian couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The entire education in Nanshan was completed under the supervision of Li Feng, and the same is true for Nanchuan now.
It seems that Li Feng is indispensable in planning and constructing schools in various places. After all, he is only one person with limited energy. If he continues like this, his body will definitely not be able to bear it.
So Fang Jian said, "I will let Zhuang Jiwu assign you two assistants and two secretaries to assist you in completing these tasks."
"Chairman, no need..."
Li Feng was about to decline, but Fang Jian raised his hand to interrupt him: "It's decided."
After chatting for a while, they asked someone to call Zhuang Jiwu over. Fang Jian gave some instructions, and the two of them went downstairs to take over. Zhuang Jiwu arranged people for Li Feng.
He now rules over fifteen provinces, and there are many local talents in each province.
Because the governors, mayors, county heads, and some important positions in various places are all people summoned by the system, these places also have some local talents vacant.
Now that Fang Jian is powerful, these talents are not averse to joining, so naturally there will be some talents for him to choose from.
"Chairman, Minister Shen is here." Not long after seeing the two off, Wang Hu came in again to report.
Fang Jian said helplessly: "Let him in."
"Commander, no, it's Chairman." Shen Liren greeted him immediately after he came in.
He was used to calling him Commander, but now he is called Chairman, and he still feels a little uncomfortable.
Fang Jian didn't care about these, but asked: "Liren, what's the matter?"
"Chairman, now that we have occupied Heyuan, we are not far from Donghai City. Can we open up a trade route to Donghai and export the goods?" Shen Liren said helplessly.
Since the trade routes were blocked by the southern government, Nanshan's goods have been produced and sold by itself.
Although there is a market in the mainland, most people are not wealthy. In order to sell out some products quickly, the prices are kept very low, and not much money can be made.
If this continues, those factories will close down sooner or later.
Fortunately, we have some military orders, such as canned food, cigarettes, clothes and bedding, otherwise we would probably fall into a loss.
Fang Jian sighed and said, "Li Ren, hold on a little longer."
"Now the consumption capacity of the people in Nanshan has been improved, and next year, the same will be true in Nanchuan."
"In two or three years, other places will also develop. Will your factory still have to worry about sales by then?"
"Should we reduce the factory's production volume?" Shen Liren felt that reducing output now and expanding production later would still allow the factory to make money.
