    Fan Yaonan has done a lot since becoming provincial chairman.

    Originally suppressed by Yang Zengxin, many of his ideas could not be implemented.  Now, due to the separation of military and political affairs, especially the deepening of military reforms, Yang Zengxin no longer has the energy to take care of the administrative side.  He was already good at administration, but with the support of Zhang Hanqing, he began to make drastic changes.

    First, Xinjiang University and Xinjiang Normal University were built in Dihua. These two universities, funded by 3 million yuan from the Fengcheng Department, filled the gap where there were no universities in the northwest frontier. They deserve to be highlighted in the modern history of Xinjiang.

    Then explore the route from Yili to Dihua to Hami to the Silk Road to prepare for the construction of a railway and highway across Xinjiang.

    With the human resources of Gansu provinces and the financial support of Zhang Hanqing, several key projects have been launched, including steel, coal, machinery, chemicals, textiles, and electric power industries.  Under Zhang Hanqing's vigorous promotion, the preparations for the establishment of the Construction Corps are accelerating.

    China has used soldiers and farmers to cultivate wasteland to obtain military supplies and tax grains since ancient times.  It originated in the Western Han Dynasty and formed a complete system in Cao Wei.  "Three Kingdoms" said that every 50 people in the village were divided into one village, and the Sima army was placed in the village. Above them were the Diannong Duwei, Diannong Xiaowei, and Diannong Zhonglang General. They were "not affiliated with counties or counties."

    From the beginning of Cao Cao's army to Zhu Yuanzhang's military household system, as well as the construction of corps in various places in later generations, they are all inherited from the same origin.  The reason is that from an administrative perspective, landless farmers can be organized to the maximum extent and ownerless wasteland can be obtained.  The government, with its high efficiency, strong ability to obtain resources and credibility, makes the people willing to accept such a method that seems to be exploitative but is actually a way of survival - especially during periods of war where exploitation is severe, all government land has not been embezzled.  Yu, and at least there is a bottom line for exploitation.

    Although Xinjiang has a large amount of land, due to the lack of transportation and information, the Han people in the mainland are unable or dare not go there. At this time, the government needs to organize preliminary work: providing food, clothing, housing, transportation, seeds, agricultural tools, etc.

    In the Qing Dynasty, the rulers attached great importance to reclamation and regarded it as a national policy. Therefore, the land in the Qing Dynasty was developed to the point where "there was no land left."  At the same time, the Qing Dynasty also opened up wasteland on a large scale in border areas and achieved great results.  During the Jiaqing period, Hong Liangji was exiled to Xinjiang. In his poem, "Looking outside the Gobi, there is no abandoned soil for thousands of miles." Even Xinjiang has large tracts of fertile farmland.

    Under modern conditions, large-scale farming is possible as long as someone is organized.  The Construction Corps not only grows crops in Xinjiang, but also grows cash crops such as cotton, rapeseed, and sugar beets.  Different regions plant different crops according to their own characteristics, and it is a requirement for farming at this stage to be coordinated by the government.  With large-scale land, mechanized farming becomes possible.

    What troubles Zhang Hanqing the most is that the People's Army cannot perform its duties of building a corps after inspecting various places and completing the reorganization of the naturalized army. The needs of the domestic situation require him to leave after settling in.  The existing military strength is not enough for use, and it is impossible to convert the military to semi-civilian use. This is a waste at present.

    But at the beginning of the establishment of the Construction Corps, despite Fan Yaonan's strong support, it was a brand new attempt after all.  Military camps occupy a large amount of land. Although it is ownerless wasteland, it will inevitably conflict with some local forces. Without a strong armed organization, it is difficult to suppress other people's attempts.

    There is only one battalion of people's officers and soldiers left in Dihua, which is only used as a guard; the armed police force is in the process of being established, and it must not be involved in the construction of the corps, otherwise it will be the disadvantage of integrating the police and civilians; the naturalized army will inevitably be reorganized after reorganization  There will be repetitions, and it is not a stable and reliable object in itself.

    Who can take on such a heavy responsibility?  At the critical moment, Zhang Zongchang traveled thousands of miles to Xinjiang and once again recommended himself: "Young Marshal, my 'White Russian Corps' has nothing to do in southern Mongolia, northern Xinjiang and northern Gansu. Although the Young Marshal paid us,  Isn¡¯t it a big deal that you keep living like this for nothing? It is said that the young marshal is worried that no one is taking care of the construction corps, so I, Lao Zhang, volunteered and took over the job for the young marshal.¡±

    I don¡¯t know who revealed this news to him, but his words made Zhang Hanqing very moved.  Although Zhang Zongchang's army is a mixed bag, its combat effectiveness is not bad. After all, it has made great achievements first.  Originally, because of the shortage of troops, I wanted to force him to seize territory for the forward, but I realized that it was a domestic conflict after all, which gave the army, mainly composed of foreign soldiers, a bad reputation.

    But it¡¯s uncomfortable to have limited money to support such a team. Now it¡¯s a good idea for Zhang Zongchang to take the initiative to ask Ying to work in the fields.  Firstly, in the initial stage of establishment of the Construction Corps, the residents were not relocated. It would be fine if the army was temporarily filled up to set up a shelf, but it was still an organized armed force. Secondly, after all, with a team of nearly ten thousand people, doing nothing would inevitably cause some trouble to the people.  The affairs of the country are not good.

    Let them farm and grow grain, which is not possible at present.Xinjiang.

    The most valuable thing is that the young marshal is very accurate in hiring people. He does not doubt the people he uses, and after he was appointed as the provincial chairman, he did not interfere at all in administrative personnel. He often asked him if he had financial difficulties and talent shortages. What's more, yesterday  He publicly announced his personnel arrangements after leaving Xinjiang and became a member of the five-person leading group that decides on major issues in Xinjiang.  His inclusion marked his formal acceptance into the Young Marshal Department¡ª¡ª

    ? 2020 in the full sense is about to pass. I would like to thank my readers and friends for accompanying me all the way. I am indescribably grateful.

    Literature and criticism complement each other.  The reader and the author are twin brothers who cannot be separated. They rejoice in the same way and grow together.  As the book is about to pass halfway, more and more brothers have joined the "Young Marshal" family, which is the greatest comfort to the country and also the motivation for me to keep moving forward.

    Special thanks to book friends: Tomorrow@Çé, Yunduomantian, Liwei, 2bis are not just, pen user 567 There are also many brothers and sisters who only have code names. Thank you for accompanying you all the way. I wish you happiness in the new year.  Happiness and wish you a happy year in advance!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
