"You don't need to discuss this matter with me, you think your division needs it, even if there is no artillery, you can also build an artillery regiment, but I still say the same thing, you can find a way to solve the personnel and equipment yourself, I and Sun Boyong have nothing for you to squander!" Liao Fan said to Hu Guoshan.

"By the way, I also have a suggestion, since we have completely taken over Heshun County, the traffic in Heshun County extends in all directions, and the roads are infrastructure, so they need to be maintained, so it is necessary to set up an engineer battalion to be responsible for repairing roads, including railways!" Liao Fan continued.

At present, the new 33 rd Army does not have the ability to build railways, and since it does not have this ability, it can only maintain the existing ones, after all, these infrastructure facilities will be of great benefit to both the common people and the mobilization of troops in the future, and they must not nest in the ravines and ravines and fight at their doorsteps.

Liao Fan told Hu Guoshan that he must take a long-term view, and the facilities established by the little devils in the county must be preserved, after all, the skills of the little devils are still very good, and some are better than nothing.

Liao Fan held his sore head and dealt with the matter until late at night.

The weather at night is not hot, the night at the end of summer is mostly cool, after Liao Fan left the conference room, he was blown by the breeze, and his head instantly cleared up a lot.

Liao Fan had already slept for an afternoon, and he was not very sleepy at night, so he found a step and quietly looked at the starry sky in the distance, and after Hu Guoshan took everyone away, he sat down beside Liao Fan.

"What's the matter, you don't go to bed so late?" Liao Fan glanced at Hu Guoshan beside him.

"Brother Fan, I feel like my brain is getting more and more insufficient!" Hu Guoshan held his chin with both hands, and also looked at the starry sky in the distance and said.

"Heh, what's wrong, my brain is caught in the door?"

"Brother Fan, I'm not as sarcastic as you, I mean it, I don't know when it started, maybe it's like this after entering Heshun County, maybe it's changed after the expansion of the army, I always feel that my ability is not enough, maybe I only have the life of being a regiment commander, and when I become a division commander, I always feel that my ability is too lacking, and I can't take care of everything in all aspects!"

"Looks like there's time to reflect, good thing! But what do you mean that you don't plan to be the commander of this division anymore, but continue to go back to be your regimental commander? Liao Fan asked.

Hu Guoshan's expression was stagnant, he didn't know what he wanted to do, he used to follow Liao Fan as long as he fought devils with peace of mind, and he didn't have to worry about anything, but within a few months of dividing the troops, he was arranged by Liao Fan to come to Heshun County, and he didn't have to fight devils during this time, but he had to take care of everything big and small in Heshun County, and he also had to take care of the food, drink and Lazar of more than 10,000 people in the army.

All these changes were a bit sudden, and it was a little difficult for Hu Guoshan to adapt for a while.

"At the beginning, Liu Chundao first gave me the commander of the guard company, the battalion commander became the regiment commander every few days, and the regiment commander became the division commander every few days, what do you think he would think now?" Liao Fan asked Hu Guoshan.

Hu Guoshan wants to be the head, but sometimes he admires Liu Chundao, among the four division commanders, Liu Chundao is the latecomer, although this has something to do with Liao Fan, but everyone in the New 33rd Army knows that there is never an incompetent officer in the New 33rd Army, even if someone helps you, you have to be capable.

"Although I don't know Liu Chundao's specific thoughts, I know that Liu Chundao will definitely persist and will not retreat, because we have come to this point, there is no room for retreat, or that sentence, the new 33rd Army will either be strong or perish!" Liao Fan said seriously.

"If you have time to study more, don't care about the size of the rank, everyone has a place for us to learn, and you have Zhao Caizhu to help you, things will go a lot smoother!" Liao Fan's tone was much calmer.

"I understand Brother Fan, I just feel a little uncomfortable for a while, I still miss the time when I used to be with everyone, although I often quarreled with Lao Ma at that time, but I can see you every day, and my heart is also steady, since I came to Heshun County, it is difficult to see everyone!" Hu Guoshan said.

"Life is originally a short time to get together, a long time to part, it is precisely because of the short period that he has become beautiful, and because of the war in China, how many families and wives are separated, yin and yang are separated, the war is not over, we soldiers began to think about reunion in their minds, thinking about pleasure, this country and nation really have no hope!"

The two of them looked at the starry sky in the distance at the same time, the breeze was blowing, Liao Fan patted Hu Guoshan on the shoulder: "Go back to bed early, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow!" ”

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Liao Fan only let Lu Liming follow, of course, in the dark, Hu Guoshan also arranged soldiers to protect him. Liao Fan was holding a jar of wine in his hand, Lu Liming was holding a big gift box in his arms, I don't know what was in it, they came to the new county mansion.

The old man seemed to have known that Liao Fan was coming back today, and there was brewed tea on the table.

"Isn't Commander Liao working today?" The tone of the old county town was much kinder than yesterday.

"Hehe, there are indeed a lot of official things to do, and the seniors are also one of the official affairs here, so I got up early in the morning and came to see the seniors first!" Liao Fan said with a smile.

"Your wine is not as good as the wine I invited you to drink yesterday!" The old county magistrate picked up the wine jar and smelled the wine and said.

"Seniors, don't make fun of the juniors, the juniors are not wine lovers, yesterday in your mansion has been ugly, I also asked someone to find this wine, although it is better than many seniors, but it is definitely not the kind of wine that can be seen everywhere on the street!"

"Okay, okay, our friendship was also discussed yesterday, and today it's time to talk about something serious, otherwise I, the county magistrate, will really have a vegetarian meal!" The old county magistrate put the wine on the side of the table, and then straightened his posture, "Say, don't delay the official business of the government!" ”

"I'm afraid I can't hide it from my seniors with this little bit of caution, and I hope that my seniors will guide me!" Liao Fan lowered his posture as much as possible, now he has a request for others, besides, the old county magistrate is his colleague, not an enemy.

"Commander Liao is a person who does big things, the county magistrate of a small county in my district, where can I guess the thoughts of your big guys!"

"The old gentleman will not be happy with the younger generation, you have walked more bridges than I have walked, and this little thing is even more troublesome to the old gentleman!"

"Okay, since I am the county magistrate and the parent official of one party, I don't hide it from Commander Liao, I really don't have any way to deal with the economic problems of Heshun County so far, otherwise I would have talked openly and honestly with Master Hu at the meeting!"

"Really?"

"Not really! Anyway, Heshun County is also my hometown, besides, I still live in this place, and now I am the local parent official, how can I watch Heshun County decay! The old county magistrate said.

"What conditions do you need, sir? Except for the grandson-in-law who comes to the door! Liao Fan looked at the old county magistrate's eyes seriously.

The old county magistrate also looked at Liao Fan's eyes and shook his head: "If Commander Liao doesn't believe me, why should he let the old man be the county magistrate?" ”

"With the old gentleman's current social status, there is no shortage of fame, and there is no shortage of money! What you want, this county magistrate is insignificant in the eyes of the old gentleman, it seems that I really have nothing to satisfy the old gentleman! Liao Fan thought about it and said.

"Why does Commander Liao think that I have a way to save the economy of Heshun County?" The old county magistrate asked.

Liao Fan tilted his head and thought about it, in fact, he didn't know if the old man in front of him would have a way to solve the economic problems of Heshun County, but according to the information provided by Hu Guoshan, although this old man did not have the ability to reach the sky, this little problem should not be difficult for him.

"Intuition!"

"Ahem, ahem! You've been thinking about it for a long time and you're giving me these two words? Could it be that Commander Liao led his troops to fight by instinct? ”

"Hey, hey, sir, you're really amazing, although it's not all based on intuition, at least half of it depends on intuition!" Liao Fan thought about it carefully, it seems that fighting with the little devil really accounts for half of his intuition, and the remaining half depends on his ability in all aspects.

The old county magistrate shook his head helplessly: "This time, Commander Liao's intuition is really wrong, Heshun County is too small, Commander Liao should know why the economic development of Heshun County can't get up!" ”

"I want to hear about it!" Although Liao Fan is clear about the problems in Heshun County, he still wants to hear what special opinions the old man has here.

"When I was younger, I was a businessman, and of course I traveled a lot of places......"

"Can you make a long story short?" Liao Fan didn't come to listen to the story, he came to find a solution.

"Young people need to be patient......

As a result, the old county town told the story for more than an hour from when he was young, but Liao Fan also heard it.

"Senpai, do you mean to say that everything in this world is interconnected?" Liao Fan interrupted the chattering old county magistrate a little impatiently.

"The young man summed it up well!"

Liao Fan thought to himself, you always have to talk for more than an hour, do older people like to tell stories?

"What does this have to do with the question we're going to explore today?" Although Liao Fan was a little impatient after listening to the story, he was still very patient on the surface.

"Since everything is interrelated, isn't it a bit difficult for you to let a county develop its economy alone? Let's not say that the surrounding areas of Heshun County are controlled by little devils, let's make a hypothesis, a businessman set off from Chongqing to Taiyuan to do business! ”

Liao Fan nodded, the old man wanted to tell a story again, but he had to listen patiently.

"A businessman shipped a batch of tea from Chongqing, in addition to the car and boat fares, but also to pay taxes to the local government, and then ran all the way into Hubei, the local government in Hubei also had to levy a toll tax, after Hubei into Henan, that is the control area of the little devil, assuming that the businessman is lucky, the little devil did not snatch his goods, the little devil also has to collect taxes, if you are not lucky, you will lose the goods, and you will lose your head, this is not counting the bandits and bandits on the road!"

"When I finally arrived in Shanxi, I met your Liao Fan's new 33rd Army again!"

"Wait, old man, I didn't let the merchants of Heshun County pay taxes!"

"Listen to what I'm saying, in case you are fighting with the little devils, do these merchants continue to go to Taiyuan or wait until you finish the war and then go to Taiyuan, the merchants are here to seek money, not to die! And now Heshun County is not taxed, but what about the future? The old county magistrate asked Liao Fan.

"Senior, can't you just summarize things? Businessmen are unwilling to take risks to do business in Heshun County, for fear of not making money, and for fear of losing their lives! Isn't there a solution to this problem? ”

"Not for the time being, unless you, Commander Liao, control the entire Shanxi, at least the entire Jindong, so that the businessman doesn't have to take too much risk!"

"But as far as I know, the old gentleman's family is also doing business, is it because our new 33rd Division has taken back Heshun County, and the old gentleman's family business is broken?" Liao Fan said with a smile.
