Ma Bufang was holding a tea cup in his hand, his big bald head shining brightly under the light. He approvingly said to Ma Zhanying, the commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, who was standing upright in front of him: "Zhanying, your boy sent it last night.
That girl is good, I am very happy, I will be rewarded heavily, and the land in Maekawa belongs to you."
"Thank you, Chairman Ma. I can't thank you enough for this humble position." Ma Zhanying was overjoyed when he heard this. The fertile land in Qianchuan was originally the ancestral land of a businessman. Some time ago, because he offended Ma Bufang, Ma Bufang found an excuse to destroy the family. Naturally, that land also
Having become ownerless, Ma Zhanying had been coveting the more than 100 acres of fertile land in Qianchuan for a long time.
But how can we please Ma Bufang? In fact, this problem is not a problem at all for the people around Ma Bufang.
Ma Bufang was the most cruel and ferocious among the horses in the northwest. He was known as the "Tu Emperor". He was shameless and was rare among the upper echelons of the Kuomintang. He once said publicly: "I will annihilate everyone who lives outside me."
The wives and daughters of his subordinates, the sisters, nieces, brothers and sisters-in-law of his own family, could not escape his clutches and were annihilated by him. Even his granddaughter was raped and annihilated by him, and later gave birth to a son. In order to
To deceive others, Ma Bufang killed the baby with his own hands. Later generations have counted that Ma Bufang killed no fewer than five thousand women from various ethnic groups including Han, Hui, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, Kazakh, and Salar women in his lifetime.
Ma Bufang paused and asked again: "Is there nothing wrong with that girl?"
Ma Zhanying patted her chest and said: "No problem, I've checked with my humble position. She's just the wife of a passing businessman in Chahar. We're not robbing his goods, we're just borrowing his woman for fun, and we'll return it in two days."
Give it to him, it won’t be a bad game anyway, Chairman, don’t you think so?”
"Hahaha Zhanying, you are getting better and better at talking." Ma Bufang laughed proudly. Indeed, playing with a woman was not a big deal in his mind.
The alluvial plain along the Yellow River in Ningxia Province and Inner Mongolia. It consists of the Yinchuan Plain east of the Helan Mountain, also known as the Xitao Plain, the Langshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia, the Houtao Plain south of the Daqing Mountain, and the Tumetchuan Plain, also known as the Qiantao Plain, with an area of approximately
Twenty-five thousand square kilometers. It is a submerged area between the Ordos Plateau and Helan Mountain, Langshan Mountain, and Daqing Mountain. It is about 1,000 meters above sea level. The terrain is flat, the soil quality is good, and it is irrigated by the Yellow River. It is an important agricultural area in Ningxia and Mongolia.
.There is a saying that "the Yellow River has all kinds of harms but only one rich one". In the narrow sense, the Hetao Plain only refers to the Houtao Plain, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers.
Ever since Su Tong took charge of Chahar, one issue has always troubled him, and that is food. Chahar has never been a grain-producing province. Although Su Tong has been vigorously promoting farms and mechanized farming, the problem of food
It still bothered him. Even if he used the money earned by the Watch Company to purchase a large amount of grain from the United States, this was only a temporary solution and was by no means a long-term solution.
For this reason, before going to Siberia, he sent Li Daxia, director of the Chahar Agriculture Department, to Ningxia to preside over a project called the Hetao Development Project.
Today, more than a dozen trucks drove from the direction of Helan Mountain. They stopped after reaching a small hill, and dozens of people got out of the truck one after another. Among them were old and young, men and women, including
An old man about fifty years old, wearing glasses and looking like a scholar, attracted the most attention, and judging from the situation, he was also the leader of the group.
At this time, a young man in his early twenties with a bookish look on his face came to the old man. He wiped the sweat on his head with his hand and asked with a hint of tiredness: "Huo
Professor, is this the Hetao Plain?"
The professor surnamed Huo nodded and said with a hint of excitement: "Yes, this is the Hetao Plain, and it is the traditional Houtao Plain. The land here is fertile and the terrain is flat. If it is developed, then
But they are the big granaries of our Chahar and Ningxia provinces.”
At this time, the girl who thought she still had a childish look on her face asked doubtfully: "Professor Huo, you told us many times during class that this place is rich, but why don't the authorities develop it?"
Professor Huo sighed softly and said nothing. At this time, a young man next to him said angrily: "Huh, this is not the fault of Ma Hongkui. When he was in power, someone suggested developing the Hetao Plain, but he said
It is said that the food grown in Ningxia is enough for Ningxia people to eat. What is the use of growing more? If you want money, you still have to rely on the barrel of a gun. Listen, this is all bullshit."
Professor Huo shook his head at this time and said: "Ning Yu, don't be so biased. The more than 200,000 acres of Yunting Canal built by Ma Hongkui has benefited the people of Ningxia. It's just a pity that this person's vision
It is still too narrow-minded, and only sees the three-thirds of an acre of land he governs, but does not consider the food shortage situation in the northwest."
"Brother Ning Yu," the young man from before spoke up at this time: "Now Chairman Su has proposed a large-scale development project in the Hetao, turning it into a large granary for our northwest provinces. This plan is a great benefit to the people of our northwest provinces.
Good news."
"It's easier said than done." The young man named Ning Yu shook his head, "It will take at least three to five years to implement this plan, and the funds required are astronomical. Relocation of people, purchase of equipment, etc.
They all need money. At present, most of Chahar's funds have been invested in the railways in Chahar and Mongolia. Last year alone, the investment amounted to 30 million. But our fiscal revenue from Chahar last year was only 40 million.
Ten million, I don’t know how much I will invest this year.”
"It all depends on people," Professor Huo couldn't help but said after hearing this: "Besides, Director Li, who is currently serving as the Ningxia Provincial Department of Agriculture, is also very supportive of our work. He just gave our College of Agriculture a grant of 30,000 yuan to support our work.
During this research trip, we will still have to teach reports after we return."
"Yes, we also want to show the world that our Chahar University is not vegetarian." Several girls on the side also cheered.
"You guys?" Professor Huo showed a fond smile on his face. These boys are still competing with famous Chinese universities such as Yanjing and Tsinghua. However, since ancient times, there is no way for scholars to look down on each other. Besides,
This is not necessarily a good thing.
"Okay." Professor Huo clapped his hands and said, "Let's start collecting soil samples, testing moisture data, and start working."
Under the leadership of the professor, everyone began to work enthusiastically
At this time, in a two-story building in Yinchuan City, the capital of Ningxia, Li Daxia, the newly appointed director of Ningxia's Department of Agriculture and vice chairman of Ningxia Province, was talking to Xi Hanqian, the chief steward of Ningxia, Mongolia, and Chacha provinces who had just arrived.
Secretary-General Xi Da is discussing the large-scale development of the Loop.
"Vice Chairman Li, I won't say anything more. Just tell my brother when the large-scale development of the Loop can start." Xi Hanqian was obviously not in a good mood at this time.
Li Daxia shook his head, with a trace of fatigue showing on his obviously thin face: "Secretary-General Xi, time is too tight. We don't have all the farm tools, seeds, machinery and other materials ready. What do you want me to develop?" "
Xi Hanqian said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about the supplies. Chairman Su just sent a telegram. He has asked someone to buy seeds and farm tools in the United States, and the 502 Tractor Factory will send 500 seeds and farm tools within a week." A high-power combined multi-purpose tractor. Your current task is to settle the more than 300,000 newly relocated immigrants within a month, without letting them starve or freeze, so that they have a place to live and food to eat. , can you do it?”
Li Daxia's eyes were still bloodshot and he glared at Xi Hanqian and said: "Secretary Xi, I still need food, a lot of food. Three hundred thousand people consume at least three hundred thousand kilograms of food every day, which costs four thousand five thousand pounds a month." There are hundreds of tons of grain, but you can’t let me give sand to the people to eat.”
Xi Hanqian shook his head: "Now the grain we buy from the United States and China is mainly shipped to Siberia and Chahar. There is no extra grain for you. We can only give you 6,000 tons temporarily, but you have to support it for two months. ,can you do it"
Li Daxia gritted his teeth and said: "Six thousand tons is six thousand tons. I will think of a way to survive these two months."
"Yes." Xi Hangan nodded appreciatively: "Vice Chairman Li, you have to know that our main energy is on the Siberian battlefield now. If Siberia cannot hold on, our defense line will plummet. By then, let alone regaining the lost ground. I am afraid that even Mongolia and even Chahar will not be able to save it. Although we are so prosperous now, we are actually in danger. The Soviets can afford to lose. If they lose, they will retreat to the west of Lake Baikal. But if we lose, Even the original capital will be lost, so now all materials must be given priority to support the front line, do you understand?"
"Alas" Li Daxia sighed: "Why don't I understand? Even though I am a civilian, I also know that almost all of our Chahar elites are concentrated in Siberia. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xi Hanqian smiled and said, "As long as you understand, as long as you can complete this large-scale development project of the Hetao, we will be self-sufficient in food next year, and even have a surplus. You will be our hero."
"Haha, as long as the first phase of the three-thousand-mile project can be completed, we can breathe a sigh of relief." Li Daxia also nodded in agreement.
Just as the two were discussing, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in"
The door opened, and a secretary from the Secretariat hurriedly walked in. His slightly fat face was still a little panicked, and his black tunic was stained with some loess. As soon as he entered the door, he said hurriedly: "Secretary-General Xi, Vice Chairman Li, when a group of businessmen of ours who went to Tibet to buy cotton passed through Qinghai, they had a conflict with the people there and were detained by Ma Bufang."
"Why did Ma Bufang detain our merchant?" Xi Hanqian and Li Daxia looked at each other. How could this Ma Bufang have the courage to detain Chahar's caravan? Wasn't the previous example of Ma Hongkui not enough to wake him up? But they But I forgot that there is such a saying as "sex is bold" in this world.
Li Jian is one of the many businessmen who specializes in trafficking cotton from Xinjiang Province to Chahar. He is a middle-aged widower who just married a beautiful daughter-in-law in her twenties this year. Li Jian is extremely fond of this daughter-in-law, and even
Even when I went out to do business, I took her with me regardless of my family's objections.
Firstly, he did this because he really couldn't bear to be separated from his wife, and secondly, he also wanted to show off to others.
But while he was showing off, something went wrong. He was so complacent that he forgot one thing: Qinghai is not Chahar, Xining is not Zhangjiakou, this is the world of Ma Jiajun.
When they passed by Xining from Xinjiang Province and stopped for a while, Li Jian happened to go out to do errands, but his beautiful daughter-in-law was spotted by Ma Zhanying, who was looking for a way to flatter his boss. Thinking about the more than 100 acres of fertile land,
Ma Zhanying, who had a headache, immediately had his eyes lit up and ordered his men to snatch the beautiful little daughter-in-law away. Although Li Jian also had more than a dozen bodyguards with guns, they were the rivals of Ma Zhanying, a local snake.
Under the threat of hundreds of guns, they could only watch as their landlady was snatched away.
When Li Jian came back and heard the news, he collapsed on the ground. The next day, when Li Jian woke up and went crazy looking for his wife, some kind-hearted people told him to take his wife away.
The man is Ma Zhanying, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. Now the only way to find his beautiful wife is in Chairman Ma's bed, because his wife must have been given to the lustful Ma Bufang by Ma Zhanying.
In grief and anger, Li Jian took a few bodyguards and found Ma Bufang's apartment. Well, the ending was pitiful. They were beaten half to death without even entering the door. Ma Bufang, who was disturbed, was furious and killed him.
They detained Li Jian and the others, including their people and goods, and ordered someone to send a message to Li Jian's family. If you want the people and goods, you can redeem them with money. After receiving the news, Li Jian's family quickly found the Chahar government.
Finally, the Chahar government spread the news to Xi Hanqian who was far away in Ningxia.
Xi Hanqian and Li Daxia were really shocked when they heard it at first, but after they came back to their senses, they were filled with anger. Ma Bufang, next door to Mala, now that Chairman Su is not here, you are really a coward, you are here
It’s okay to bully men and women in Qinghai, but now the bullying has come to us, Chahar, and he has turned against you.
Xi Hanqian came to his senses and immediately ordered: "Send a telegram to Ma Bufang and ask him to release him immediately and compensate the businessman for his losses, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
