Chapter 31 The original residents made trouble and reported the killing of Hukou garrison

Since it was evening when the train arrived at Dongshengzhou Station, the garrison at Dongshengzhou Station had been notified by telegram that Zhang Zhimu would not get off in Dongshengzhou. Just ask them to arrange for someone to unload the New Year's goods left for them.

However, the news that Zhang Zhimu was going to pass through Dongshengzhou Station by car tonight was still leaked.

Tonight, after hearing the sound of the train, a group of people rushed to the platform of Dongshengzhou Station and shouted that they wanted to see Zhang Zhimu. This made the staff of Dongshengzhou Station, who had no experience in dealing with such a thing at all, panic, and a few policemen at the station couldn't play much role at all. Fortunately, there was a company of soldiers waiting here to prepare to unload the New Year's goods. The stationmaster asked the soldiers to help maintain order here. But the soldiers came out this time without weapons. Besides, they had not received an order to use force against these troublemakers, and they did not dare to do it rashly. Just fenced off the platform and didn't let these people get close to the train. They knew that Zhang Zhimu was on the train, and they must not let outsiders threaten Zhang Zhimu's safety.

After the train stopped at Dongshengzhou Station, Zhang Zhimu saw the lights of the station and knew that the two megawatt generators here had already been powered. Hearing the noisy sound outside the station, Zhang Zhimu lifted the curtain and saw that there were many people outside, and the soldiers of the kiln gang formed a half-circle to block the people outside the circle.

Zhang Zhimu knew what was going on outside. I had to get up and put on my clothes and leave the box. As soon as they arrived in the corridor of the train, they saw that Yan Boju, Lu Chengxiang and others had also come out, and they gathered on the dining car. After a while, Yan Xing led the stationmaster of Dongshengzhou Station in.

Yan Xing said: "Zhimu, the people outside said they wanted to see you. This is the stationmaster of Dongkatsushu Station. ”

Seeing that the stationmaster was very nervous, Zhang Zhimu said, "Sit down and talk, don't be nervous." Tell me what's going on? ”

The trembling stationmaster sat down and said, "I, I can't tell what's going on." When they came, a group of people said they wanted to meet Mr. Zhang. We couldn't stop it, so we called in the soldiers who had unloaded the goods to keep the order in order. ”

"Ou! Who are you going to see me? Zhang Zhimu felt very strange, because if people who wanted to be unfavorable to themselves would not do this, they would just do it. This must be a group of people who have grievances and have nowhere to say. There were too many such things in my previous life, but I didn't expect it to happen here.

"Yes, there are Han Chinese, and more Mongolians." The stationmaster said, "I can't tell you exactly what's going on. When I first arrived, I heard that the aborigines here were at odds with us new immigrants, and as a result, we were crushed by our army. ”

Zhang Zhimu understands a little, it seems that there is something wrong with our policy, and we do not take into account the interests of the local aborigines. These aborigines had no way to complain, and when they heard that they were coming, they braved the bitter cold in the middle of the night to see themselves. I don't know how long they waited.

Zhang Zhimu asked the station master: "Can you boil water in your station?" ”

"Yes!"

"Good! And bring out some dry food and boil some water. After a while, invite all the people outside to the waiting room, get some boiling water for everyone to drink, and share some dry food. All expenses are paid by our company. You have to do this well. Zhang Zhimu said.

The stationmaster stood up and saluted and said, "I will definitely do it." ”

"All right, I will now go out to meet these people who want to see me." Zhang Zhimu got up and was about to leave.

The station chief was frightened, and before he could speak, Yan Boju said, "No! Chiki. It's not clear what the situation is outside, you can't go out. I'll go out and have a look, and if it's really like what the stationmaster said, I'll ask them to send a few people to the bus, and you can talk to them again. I advised the rest of them to wait in the waiting room of the station first. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Zhimu to speak, Yan Boju pointed to the station master and said, "You go down with me!" ”

Lu Chengxiang also said: "Mr. Zhang, you can't go down." Wait for Mr. Yan to go down and take a look. ”

The guards on the bus hugged Yan Boju and the stationmaster and got off the bus. As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew in. The people in the car were all excited.

When Yan Boju came to the platform, he and the stationmaster walked towards the edge of the circle formed by the soldiers. When the people outside saw someone coming, they all stopped shouting. Yan Boju shouted: "If you want to see Zhang Dongjia, send a few people out and go to the car to talk to Zhang Dongjia on your behalf." ”

At first, these people thought that it was Zhang Zhimu who came out, but when they saw that it was not, they were all anxious, and they all shouted to see Zhang Zhimu.

Yan Boju shouted loudly again: "What can you say when you see Zhang Dongjia like this? If you want to see Zhang Dongjia today, I will immediately select a few people to get in the car with me. ”

These people came here to see Zhang Zhimu because of the large number of people, and they came here to see Zhang Zhimu together. If they were allowed to see Zhang Zhimu alone, many of them would not dare. However, when they had no choice, they elected five people to come out. Yan Boju said to the others: "Zhang Dongjia said that it was too cold. You can wait in the waiting room, this is the stationmaster, he will prepare boiling water and food for you. After speaking, he led the five delegates to the car.

As soon as these people followed Yan Boju into the carriage, Zhang Zhimu stood up to greet them.

Yan Boju turned around and introduced the five people, "This is the Zhang Dongjia you want to meet. ”

These five people didn't expect that it was Zhang Dongjia who stood up to greet them, and the five of them immediately knelt down to kowtow.

Zhang Zhimu can't stand this the most. Hurry up and help them up with everyone. Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't be like this, everyone. We all sat down and talked. ”

These five people trembled and did not dare to do it. Zhang Zhimu had no choice but to go over and help them sit down. Say, "It's too cold outside, drink some hot water first." ”

Maybe it's too cold, maybe it's too thirsty. The five men saw the water in the cup, took it up, and drank it all. Zhang Zhimu asked them to get water twice, and when they finished drinking, they were a little embarrassed. An old man said: "We know that Zhang Dongjia's train can arrive today, but I don't know when it will arrive, so I have been waiting from morning to now, and I am really thirsty." "The old man didn't dare to say he was hungry.

Zhang Zhimu turned around and signaled that someone had gone to the dining car to prepare food for them. Zhang Dongjia said: "Everyone wants to see me so late, there must be something to say." We are not in a hurry, I have asked the station master to get some hot water and food for the folks outside, and let them wait for you in the waiting room. You don't have to be in a hurry. ”

These people didn't expect the Zhang Dongjia they had always wanted to see to be so polite to them. They had never been treated like this, and they didn't know where to start for a while. Zhang Zhimu had no choice but to chat with them first. I asked them their names, their ages, where they lived, and how long they had lived here.

This question led them to the topic.

Two of the five men were Mongols, one was of mixed Mongol and Chinese descent, and the other two were Han Chinese. Zhang Zhimu didn't expect that these Mongols and Han Chinese would come together to sue together.

It turns out that they are all the original residents here, and they all live here half-farming and half-pastoral. The aborigines here have been mixed with Han Chinese and Mongolian people for a long time. Zhang Zhimu saw that the two Han people were no different from the Mongols in terms of clothing and demeanor, because this place has been a place where Han and steppe peoples have lived together since ancient times. Now, after the Yaogang people seized Dongshengzhou, they sent a large number of immigrants, and the number of immigrants far exceeded the original residents. Moreover, the army and officials of Yaogang all treat the new immigrants as their own here, and many policy subsidies and the like are also for the new immigrants, and the original residents have nothing. Large-scale reclamation of wasteland was also allocated to new immigrants. Gradually, the indigenous inhabitants have been marginalized, and their living conditions have deteriorated. Several times they found the cadres sent by the kiln gang, and these cadres also passed the buck to them as outsiders. These people are seeing the new immigrants getting better and better. They are also envious, and their hearts are unbalanced. In the same land, why are our original inhabitants second-class people? They tried to make trouble several times and were also suppressed. Some of the Mongols who were able to graze their cattle stayed away from here, and those who had land to grow could not do without it. Later, they heard that the big proprietor of the kiln gang people was a reasonable person, and they wanted to go to complain, but they didn't know where to go. These days, they have heard from the new immigrants that Zhang Dongjia is coming to attend the opening ceremony of the Baotou train, and will send them New Year's goods by train in Dongshengzhou. They connected some people to wait for Zhang Zhimu's train here.

After they finished speaking, Zhang Zhimu basically understood that we did not handle the relationship with the local indigenous people.

At this time, each of the five of them made a big bowl of hot beef noodles in the dining car. I also sent some old vinegar, kimchi, and chili oil very considerately.

Zhang Zhimu said: "I probably know what you said. Now you finish the noodles first, and then we'll chatter." You can eat noodles with confidence, I will take care of what you say to the end and give you a satisfactory answer. ”

These five people, hungry and freezing for a day, saw the tempting big bowl of noodles, and said that Zhang Dongjia had already said that he would take care of this matter. They began to pick up their bowls and eat.

When they eat noodles, in order not to affect them. Zhang Zhimu turned around and said to several leaders of the kiln: "Hehe! It seems that the cadres we sent did not handle the relationship between the new immigrants and the original residents. They just treat the new immigrants as their own, ignoring the feelings of the original residents, and all good things are new immigrants, and the number of original residents is small, and they slowly become second-class residents. I guess our officials didn't treat them as their own people. It's dissatisfying. ”

Yan Xing said: "It was right to support the new immigrants at the beginning, because the new immigrants are poor and have nothing, and we can't care about it." However, after stabilization, the new immigrants and the original inhabitants are under the same roof, and it is not appropriate to be near or far. It's not comfortable to get someone raised by the stepmother, and now there is no foreign enemy attacking, otherwise it will be dangerous. ”

"It seems that our cadres still lack political experience, but fortunately we found out about this matter today. We should thank them well. ”

After each of the five people finished eating a bowl of noodles, they warmed up one by one, and their faces were much better. Zhang Zhimu asked people to pour tea for them again. He said to them: "I have also studied your feedback with other leaders of our kiln gang. We all feel that we owe a debt of gratitude to you for keeping us informed. I would also like to thank you for the trust you have placed in me. I will solve the problem for you right away. Can you tell us what we need to do? ”

"The land you have cultivated is good land by the canals, can we also contract those land with the new immigrants, and we will also pay the rent to you. Can you also send us the fertilizer? A delegate asked.

"I don't know about the land lease, is it because their new immigrants are involved in the land reclamation, so they have priority to lease the land?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Yes, their new immigrants have the right to lease land with priority, can we also participate in land reclamation, so can we also have the right to lease land with priority?" A delegate said.

"That shouldn't be a problem. One more person to open up the wasteland, one more strength. Zhang Zhimu said.

"As for the distribution of chemical fertilizers now, we are asking everyone to experiment with it, so that everyone can see the effect of using chemical fertilizers. I promise you that the next time I try it out, I'll let you try it out. Zhang Zhimu said.

One delegate said: "This fertilizer is a really good thing. In the same way, I didn't use chemical fertilizer in my field, and my crops didn't grow like I used chemical fertilizer, and the food I threshed was much worse. ”

Another representative said: "Mr. Zhang, the most important thing is not to treat us as second-class people, we are not slaves, as long as we can be treated equally." Many of your new immigrants don't see us as human beings at all, and often bully us because of the numbers. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't worry, I will never allow such a thing to happen again in the future, and it should not happen in the places we manage." ”

Another person raised a question that made people laugh and cry: "These new immigrants have married all our women with money in their hands, and you have to take care of the Zhang Dong family." ”

Zhang Zhimu said with a smile: "When you and the new immigrants are equal, can you also earn as much silver as them?" Then you will not be afraid that they will marry all the women without them. I also want to tell you that we are going to bring in a lot of women to emigrate in a hurry. At that time, let everyone marry a daughter-in-law. ”

In the end, Zhang Zhimu said to them: "Tonight, our train has to rush to Baotou, so we can't talk to you too much." I want to spend a little more time in Dongshengzhou when I come back from Baotou, and then I will come to you and you leave your address. I also ask you to do me a favor and collect your concerns for me. When I come back, I invite you to drink, and at that time you will talk together about giving it to me, okay? ”

"Good!" The five hurriedly stood up and said, "Let's go down first and wait for you to come back!" ”

Zhang Zhimu asked the dining car to take down a box of eggs and told the station master to cook and eat them for those people in the waiting room.

When the train rumbled again, Zhang Zhimu's mood was a little uncalm, it seemed that it was easy to lay down a place, but it was not easy to manage a place. Zhang Zhimu asked Editor-in-Chief Fan, who came with the car, to record this matter, and when he came back and dealt with it, he would publish a detailed report, which could not only warn our cadres, but also allow everyone to discuss together how to govern a place.

When the train arrived in Baotou, it was already dawn. Ningde: They already knew what happened to Zhang Zhimu and them in Dongsheng Prefecture.

On the platform, Ning De said very guiltily: "Mr. Zhang, it's my fault." We didn't take care of that. We are only concerned with our own new people. Ignoring the fact that the indigenous people are also our people. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "In fact, it was not wrong for us to support us at the beginning. But you can't get by, and you can't bully the original inhabitants in turn. The original inhabitants were wary of the newcomers. We should try to bridge their relationship as much as possible. None of us have any experience, and we get it, and now we can do these things. ”

In his previous life, Zhang Zhimu had been to Baotou, which was still a not very developed place. But at that time, Baotou was stronger than now, I don't know how much. Compared to that time, it is now only a large village. However, there is a complete city wall that reminds everyone that this is a city.

The army that was ready to attack from here has been mobilized here. After attending the opening ceremony, Huang Yukun and the others took the children to visit Baotou. Zhang Zhimu and the leaders of the kiln gang came to the army to visit the officers and soldiers.

The officers and men were very happy to meet the leaders of Yaogang before the expedition. In particular, the leaders also brought them a lot of New Year's goods. After visiting the officers and soldiers, Zhang Zhimu and the others also visited the immigrants from all over the sub-district, many of whom had to stay at the reclamation point in winter. Zhang Zhimu: They can only go to those places with convenient transportation.

After visiting everyone, Zhang Zhimu organized a meeting between the cadres and officers in Baotou to discuss what happened at Dongshengzhou Station. The deficiencies of the work were summarized, and remedial measures were also developed.

On the way back, Ningde and the cadres from Baotou followed Zhang Zhimu to Dongsheng Prefecture, met with the cadres of Dongsheng Prefecture, and invited the five representatives they met last time to listen to their questions. In front of them, the mistakes of past work were reviewed, and rectification and remedial measures were also arranged. According to the agreement, Zhang Zhimu invited the five deputies to have a drink before boarding the car and returning to kill Hukou.

It was only when they arrived at the killing of Hukou that the children felt a little interesting, because they were used to staying in the kiln, and they felt that it was not as good as the kiln gang wherever they saw. But Zhang Zhimu told them that they could take a good look at the desert grassland outside the gate. But in winter, it is so white that I can't see anything.

Huang Yukun led the children to go shopping for a day in Hukou, and Zhang Zhimu and they also went to the branch to meet the employees, and then to the garrison yamen to meet the garrison adults. Of course, for the New Year, gifts are indispensable. This is also the price that Zhang Zhimu promised to garrison the adults and open the train to kill the Hukou Great Wall to enter and exit the urn city. This kind of thing can only be done by Zhang Zhimu in person.

In doing this, it is also very important to say hello to the garrison with the news of next year's march. Of course, it is not clear which direction it is marching into.

This trip, Zhang Zhimu felt very much wanted to go back to Yaogang for the first time. Because after the Spring Festival, as soon as spring begins, troops will be sent to fight, and more than 100,000 soldiers will set off. Zhang Zhimu couldn't help but think about this matter in his heart.

On the return train, Huang Yukun also smiled and said to Zhang Zhimu: "I look at you, you are on the train, and your heart has already returned to Yaogang." Because Huang Yukun wanted to make love with him, Zhang Zhimu didn't react.

However, the children were still very happy, not only buying a lot of things for themselves, but also buying a lot of things for their younger siblings. This made Zhang Zhimu very happy.

However, Huang Yukun suddenly asked Zhang Zhimu a few words, but reminded Zhang Zhimu, "What do you think of that child in Guixiang?" ”

"How? That's great! Zhang Zhimu said, "We also grew up watching." ”

"You! It's just carelessness," Huang Yukun said, "Don't you see that Guixiang is extraordinarily attentive to us Xiaoqing?" ”

"Oops! I didn't pay attention to that. Zhang Zhimu said.
