We often say that there was no shortage of talents during the Republic of China, and there was also no shortage of capable bureaucrats.
For example, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, which is about to be upgraded to a ministerial-level unit, whether Chen Jitang or Feng Yuxiang is in charge, will not affect the development of China's agriculture. Because the real people in charge are the director of the Department of Agriculture and Forestry at this time and the future deputy director of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
Minister Qian Tianhe.
Qian Tianhe focuses on three points in increasing agricultural production:
First, promote improved varieties, including improved varieties of wheat, rice, cotton, silkworms, cattle, etc. Take cotton as an example, improved cotton has been promoted to 36 counties, and the yield per mu has increased rapidly from 18.2 kilograms in 1937.
By 1939, the yield per mu had increased by 250% to 63.4 kilograms. Under the leadership of Qian Tianhe, improved wheat varieties have been promoted to 40,000 mu, and "regeneration rice" and "second-cropping rice" have also been trialled.
Second, promote scientific fertilizers. The scientific fertilizers here are not only chemical fertilizers, but also include various green fertilizers, such as Yuanping bacteria compost, wild rice green fertilizer, steamed bone meal, etc. These green fertilizers do not need to rely on an industrial base, but they have a negative impact on crops.
It is very effective to increase production.
Third, promote the prevention and control of pests and diseases. In the past, farmers rarely used pesticides, but Qian Tianhe built many pesticide factories. Although the output of pesticides was very low, it was increasing little by little.
In addition to these, Qian Tianhe also encourages land reclamation and the development of forestry resources, and even stipulates that private wasteland that is not planted within the time limit will be directly forcibly sold or expropriated by the government.
There are also agricultural loans and rural cooperatives. These measures were promoted before the war, but local officials were overstaffed and implemented poorly. After Qian Tianhe came to power to take charge of agriculture, he immediately took drastic measures and quickly opened up the situation with central orders.
As for the construction of water conservancy facilities, from 1938 to 1944, Sichuan Province alone, under the leadership of Qian Tianhe, opened 31 (large) canals, built 334 dams, dug 2,826 ponds, and other small-scale irrigation projects.
There are countless projects.
The victory of the Anti-Japanese War was attributed to Qian Tianhe because he could make the rice bags bulge.
This person studied in the United States after graduating from Tsinghua University and received a master's degree in agriculture from Cornell University. When he returned to China, he served as a professor at the School of Agriculture at Jinling University. During the Northern Expedition, Qian Tianhe worked as an official in the Nanjing government and has followed Chang Kaishen all the way to this day. He definitely belongs to that kind of deep
Chiang Kai-shek, who was highly regarded, was a direct descendant of the bureaucracy.
Therefore, Chen Jitang and Feng Yuxiang are just decorations. Qian Tianhe will definitely have the final say in the future of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Even after arriving in Taiwan, when Chiang Kai-shek carried out land reform and developed Taiwan's agriculture, Qian Tianhe still played a major role in it and participated in Taiwan's agricultural policy throughout the process.
formulation.
After Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the leader of the Scientific Chicken Breeding Promotion Group, Qian Tianhe immediately assigned him a deputy. More than two-thirds of the members of the entire group were Qian Tianhe's people. Our chapter-changing general suddenly discovered that he
Before I was ready to do anything, I was already dismissed from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
Feng Yuxiang was very depressed, but he had no choice. He finally found an official job, but it turned out to be false, so he could only pick up his old job and do publicity.
In one day, Feng Yuxiang drew 12 cartoons, all of which were about chickens and eggs.
For example, in this cartoon called "Sacred Egg Picture", four farmers happily lifted an egg, which was larger than a human. They also wrote a poem: "It is wonderful to raise chickens scientifically. Earthworms become chicken feed."
The chickens grow quickly after eating them, and the eggs they lay are very big. Everyone comes to learn how to raise chickens, and the people are no longer hungry. Chickens and eggs are nutritious, and when they are full, they can go into battle to kill the Japanese!"
"Mingcheng, please publish all my cartoons in the next issue of the pictorial." Feng Yuxiang said with a smile.
After Zhou Hexuan read these cartoons, he couldn't help laughing and said: "General Feng's drawings are really good, but the number is too many. I can only publish two."
"Just two pictures, whatever," Feng Yuxiang quickly said the key point, "By the way, do you have a copy of "Captain China"? Show me the content of the third issue."
Zhou Hexuan took out a stack of drawings from the drawer and said with a smile: "Please give me a review."
Feng Yuxiang glanced at it and said, "There's something wrong with this painting style. It's more elegant and detailed than the previous two issues."
Zhou Hexuan explained: "Drawing comics is too time-consuming. From now on, I will make up stories and let Wanrong draw the stories into comics. I also have an assistant for her, and the assistants will draw all the guns, tanks, etc. in it."
"
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said: "This is a good idea, just like setting up a factory. What is it called?"
"Assembly line production." Zhou Hexuan said.
"Yes, it's the assembly line." After Feng Yuxiang finished speaking, he started reading comics.
In the third episode of "Captain China", the compatriot who lost his mind died at the beginning. He didn't know how to dodge, but instead caught the bomb and threw it back. While blowing the door open, he was also blown to pieces.
In this way, he did not die, but rushed out and killed people. Finally, he was burned alive by the Japanese army using a flamethrower.
The protagonist Zheng Xiaofei is even smarter and wittier. The moment the Japanese army threw the bomb, he picked up several Japanese corpses as human shields. Then he rushed out of the room and killed all the way, rescuing many compatriots who were used as experimental subjects. At the same time, the comic also revealed that the Japanese soldiers
Atrocities, Chinese prisoners here were brutally tortured, and some were even captured innocent civilians.
When the entire Japanese army in the laboratory was about to be killed by Zheng Xiaofei, the villain Dr. Aihara appeared again.
Dr. Aihara also injected himself with a potion, which contained the genes of the Yingkou Fallen Dragon. He evolved out of control and turned into a half-human, half-dragon monster, beating Zheng Xiaofei badly. At the critical moment, Zheng Xiaofei also exploded and transformed.
, whose whole body was covered with Siberian tiger hair, staged a dragon-tiger fight in the Japanese military laboratory.
Zheng Xiaofei used his wisdom to win a tragic victory and escaped from the laboratory with injuries. Dr. Aihara, who was killed by him, suddenly had his fingers trembling slightly, and then got up with difficulty. The third episode of "Captain China" ended here.
"Where's the fourth episode?" Feng Yuxiang asked impatiently.
Zhou Hexuan spread his hands: "The fourth episode hasn't been drawn yet, do you want me to reveal the plot to you?"
Feng Yuxiang said quickly: "That's no need, I'll wait and see the serialization."
Zhou Hexuan suddenly asked: "How is the preparation of the scientific chicken raising promotion group?"
"Forget it, I can't get involved." Feng Yuxiang smiled helplessly.
Qian Tianhe was so domineering and didn't give Feng Yuxiang face at all. It was useless for Feng Yuxiang to go to Chiang Kai-shek to reason.
Zhou Hexuan didn't want to ask any more questions and continued to talk about comics with Feng Yuxiang.
At this time, Ma Jue and Wan Rong returned together. Both of them are now teachers. Wan Rong is a lecturer in the painting department of the Art Department of Central University, and Ma Jue is an associate professor of the Law School of Chongqing University. This title is very high, and he is worthy of it.
He is a PhD student at the University of London.
"gentlemen!"
Ma Jue walked in quickly, looked at Zhou Hexuan with a smile, and ignored Feng Yuxiang next to him.
Zhou Hexuan had a headache, and Ma Jue's meaning was obvious. She stayed in Chongqing just for me, Zhou, and even stayed in Zhou's mansion.
