Chapter 302: Jiao Chongli enters the city

v"I'm not going back! Jiao Chongxin wiped the sweat from his face and shook his head.

"Why? Didn't our dad promise you? Chunhua's family, when the time comes, the matchmaker will go to talk and make peace, and it should be no problem. Our old Jiao family is not a broken family in the village, and we can afford the bride price of a large family. Jiao Chongli snatched the toolkit in his hand and said.

"I like to stay in this Qidu City, there are many new things in this city, and I can learn a lot of things, I have already gone to night school, and after three years of learning, I am no less than Lu Xiu in the village. lest he laugh at our father for only recognizing loaches and not words. Jiao Chongxin didn't fight, and said calmly.

"Do you want a home?" Jiao Chongli shouted.

"Second brother, aren't you also separated? Ten acres of land are in your name. Jiao Chongxin said with a smile.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you! But you have to go back! Jiao Chongli blushed and said.

"What do I want to do with that, in addition to leaving ten acres for our sister-in-law, doesn't our father have ten acres there? I don't want that, I still want your land? How good it is to work in the city! As long as you are willing to work hard, you can earn more money than farming. Jiao Chongxin smiled again and took his kit.

"Today I said in advance that I won't be at work in the afternoon. It's not easy for you to come here, and I've saved up a few days of vacation, so Chunhua and I will accompany you to visit this Qi Capital! Jiao Chongxin put down the toolkit and smiled.

"Let's go find Spring Flower first." After Jiao Chongxin got off work and finished washing, he changed into a clean military uniform-style single coat. This kind of clothing for the relief of the vanguard army is cheap and finely made, and is very popular with the common people. Gray, green, earthy yellow, blue, various styles of military uniforms have become a unique scenery on the street.

Jiao Chongli also has one, but when there is no big thing, he usually doesn't wear it. When I work in the fields, I make my own coarse undershirts.

In small towns, military uniforms are the main color, but in large cities, there are indeed many fewer people wearing military uniforms and changing military uniforms into work uniforms. And the number of people wearing suits, tunics, and student clothes has increased, especially for girls, and colorful clothing has obviously become a beautiful scenery.

Some girls are still wearing skirts, which makes Jiao Chongli dizzy.

"How?" Jiao Chongxin said with a smile beside him.

"Why don't you wear a robe or a coat?" Jiao Chongli hurriedly asked.

"Some time ago, ordinary students shouted for the revival of Tang clothes and Hanfu, saying that those robes and horse coats were pseudo-Manchurian slave clothes, and they quarreled for a long time around a few pedants wearing horse coats and tore two horse coats. If it weren't for the police maintaining order, I was afraid that I would have started to beat people. Jiao Chongxin explained with a smile.

"Then you still want to take off people's clothes casually?" Jiao Chongli was shocked.

The students who did the work were sentenced to pay for the clothes, and the first two were detained for three days. But they shouted victory, and as soon as anyone in a horse coat came around, pointing, although they did not move, it also made people cry and laugh. These days, no one wears a riding coat anymore. ”

"They've gone too far! What kind of royal law is this wearing clothes in? Jiao Chongli said dissatisfied.

"You can't say that, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, didn't they kill the heads of millions of Han sons and daughters for a braid? Our Han family's clothes weren't like this in the Ming Dynasty, weren't they forced to change? A young man walking beside them interjected.

"Then why are they still wearing robes?" Jiao Chongli pointed to the three men who were gathered together on the side of the road, and said obliquely to the young man.

"That's Hanfu, during the Tang and Han dynasties, our ancestors wore this. Not a horse coat. The man laughed.

"That's the people of the Renaissance Society doing propaganda." Jiao Chongxin explained in a low voice.

"Revival? A group of students are busy listening to the wind and rain. Now it's the most important thing to fight devils, I heard that the front is busy! The man laughed as well.

"This?" Jiao Chongxin hurriedly stopped the conversation and said with a smile.

"My name is Su Liren, and I am a teacher." Su Liren said with a smile, "These students only know the skin of revival, and under the idea of freedom and tolerance, they can talk about reviving ancient civilizations." We are originally tolerant of all rivers, and doesn't the Special Economic Zone also advocate a hundred schools of thought to contend and let a hundred flowers bloom? Revival also requires inclusiveness and innovation. ”

At this time, Jiao Chongxin had studied the cultural class for less than a month, and Jiao Chongli next to him listened to these things like a book from heaven, but he was a little in awe of this gentleman and was a little farther away.

"Mr. Su, you're busy! We're going to get in the car! Jiao Chongxin forced a smile and pulled his second brother towards a platform. Su Liren shook his head behind him and said, "Before the people's wisdom is opened, how can we talk about civilization and culture?" ”

Jiao Chongxin dragged Jiao Chongli and squeezed onto a bus that came over.

"There's too many people up there, right?" Jiao Chongli watched Jiao Chongxin stuff two small coppers into a thinly sealed wooden box by the door, before he put his mind at ease, just looked inside and wrinkled.

"If there are more people and fewer cars, it will naturally be crowded!" Jiao Chongxin is used to it, and there are many people there.

"A copper can go around half the city, it's already very cheap, and what are you thinking? If you want to be too crowded, you can take a taxi. I heard that Zhou Xiangsheng, the taxi king in Shanghai, came over? A young man in a cap with a book in his mouth snapped.

"That taxi is expensive, not as cheap as a rickshaw." A man next to him chimed in.

"Our bus is still the most affordable!" The conductor next to him squeezed over with a smile, and there was a sales bag hanging from his chest, "Everyone, take a look, if you need to drink drinks, smoke, eat bread, and burn cakes." Today's newspapers are also available. ”

"Take a pack of victory cigarettes!" Jiao Chongli stretched out a hand behind him and handed over two copper circles.

"Good come!" The conductor quickly handed over a pack of red soft-packed Victory cigarettes, and the two raised fingers on the top were particularly eye-catching.

"Remember, smoking is not allowed on the bus!" The salesman added.

"Don't let you smoke and sell cigarettes?" Jiao Chongli muttered quietly.

"A copper can take a car casually, you can't earn money for gas, and if you don't buy something to subsidize it, how can you pay people a salary. The budget for public transportation does not include this, you need to apply for a special subsidy, that is troublesome, you need to review one by one, and now there is an additional citizens' congress to review. "The cap next to me is very pointy and speaks very impulsively, but he knows a lot of things.

"Zhang Haogu, is there any latest news? When will this bus run all over the city? Someone shouted from the back of the car.

The cap glanced behind him and said angrily, "Come on, this public transport will soon be running all over the city." However, the more you run, the more you lose. ”

In the plan of the special zone, with the construction and extension of roads, a public transportation network has also been established, although there are only a few dozen vehicles at the beginning, but it has finally solved the problem of some people's travel. The source of the car is also easy to do, directly the military vehicle transformation, some of the vans are wooden, at the beginning, there are a few cars still directly hung with canvas roofs. However, this does save costs, although Zhang Haogu calculates the deficit, but according to the cheap supply of the base, it is still enough. With the cooperation with the Germans, a new carriage body factory has been built, the glass factory in Boshan is also producing window glass, chassis and engines can be supplied from the base, and the SAR's own engines are still being studied in the laboratory, which is still some distance from practicality. However, a diesel engine production plant has been built in Weifang, and some small diesel engines for civilian use have been developed first.

At present, due to the large demand for trucks and drivers in the army, the main production of the base is still biased towards the army, which has caused a shortage of ordinary vehicles in society. But with the increasing number of cars, this problem is alleviated. Even the drivers, over time, are increasing exponentially. In terms of hands-on work, in the hand-in-hand teaching, and under the training regardless of oil money, there are many disciples who become disciples in a month. As long as there is a training car, many people who can't read a big word can still master the driving skills.

Most of the Nanyang children brought by Chen Jiageng stayed, and there were more than 800 people who could drive cars. All of a sudden, the tight situation of logistics and transportation has been alleviated to a certain extent. When I was fine, there were more than 800 teachers.

"I'll be driving too!" Jiao Chongxin whispered to Jiao Chongli, he is the kind of driver who can't read and write after a month. But because he is clever and willing to study, he has learned more car repair techniques, and at this time he is following the maintenance of cars, and such talents are even more scarce. Since many vehicles are driven directly into the repair shop of the base and driven out quickly, they do not feel the crisis in this regard, but in fact, this area is the weak point of the vanguard army.

Whether it is the army, the air force, or the navy, the vanguard army has too many logistics service personnel with the repair function of the base.

It's just the Air Force, every time the plane flies back, most of them are stuffed into the hangar in the center of the air finger, and the maintenance function workshop that comes with it is pulled in by the clones, and then pulled out after overhaul, saving a lot of trouble. You must know that the Air Force is difficult to maintain, not only in the pilots, but also in the inspection and maintenance of each aircraft. Although it is not as fine as the aircraft of later generations, it is normal to fly once and overhaul and maintain for more than ten hours.

"It's here, let's get off!" Jiao Chongxin pulled his second brother out of the car, and the cap also squeezed down.

"I must make another suggestion, civilized ride. You have to queue up to get on and off the bus, some places queue, some places don't queue. What is the chaos of this non-queue mess! The cap turned back to the smoke and muttered at the departing bus.

"Spitting, a fine dime!" An old man in a red armband appeared out of nowhere and opened a slip to the cap.

"I, I didn't spit!" Cap argued.

"Who says you don't? You just spat on the bus! Another old man came too, also wearing a red armband. In order to prevent favoritism and increase deterrence, such inspectors are usually two inspectors together. Many old men and old ladies have nothing to do with the higher subsistence allowance, and Meng Xiang thought of a famous team in later generations, so he proposed to organize and manage the uncivilized phenomena such as unsanitary in the city. Although they only get a small amount of pocket money, these old people are also willing to wander around to play their spare energy.

However, this method will only be implemented in a few large cities for the time being, and will be promoted if feasible.

"Why doesn't this person have a sense of social morality?" The first old man said that they had all carried out several trainings, specifically for the correction and management of several uncivilized and unhygienic behaviors.

"Be civilized, pay attention to hygiene, wash your hands frequently, and don't get sick! ......" A group of elementary school students participating in the practical activities in the distance crossed the street singing. The traffic police on duty had already adjusted the red light to another direction in advance, and stood in the center of the road to direct the vehicle to stop and let the elementary school students pass first.

In the spring of this year, a cholera epidemic broke among the displaced people in the Special Administrative Region, killing dozens of people. After hearing this, Meng Xiang was determined to rectify the health situation in the Special Administrative Region, so a series of policies were introduced.

Garbage is dumped at designated points, and public toilets can be seen at almost every intersection. The early construction of the underground pipeline network has enabled several large cities to survive the rainy season. Although many of them are only temporary and need to be repaired later, the first thing to solve is whether there is a problem, not all at once. At this time, the vanguard army did not have so much time and financial support.

The establishment of public bathhouses was also much easier, and almost every settlement had one or two public bathhouses.

At this time, Meng Xiang didn't think about the water bill, and directly lowered the public baths everywhere to the level that one copper could take a bath. Public toilets are all free, and although the burden on the government has increased, if a good hygienic environment and habits are developed to reduce the occurrence and spread of diseases, relatively speaking, it is to save money on investment in medical and health care.

Similar sanitation measures are being implemented not only in cities, but in every township and village.

Especially in villages, although it is impossible to implement such things as public toilets, the plan of a public bathhouse and a garbage designated place in each village has been implemented. Conditions in villages are poor, sanitation is inadequate, and disease outbreaks are most susceptible. Similar measures are not very expensive, but the results are very good.

This is just one part of the vanguard army's new rural construction system, with one kindergarten, one primary school, one supply and marketing cooperative, and one clean deep water well in each village. As for biogas and tap water, the investment is too big and needs to be realized step by step. When Lao Han was there, he had already achieved the county and county roads, and Meng Xiang planned to go one step further and achieve the township roads. However, before that, it is necessary to build trunk roads and push forward little by little, after all, this is a ten-year plan. The environment varies too much from place to place, and even if the road between the township and the countryside wants to be repaired, it is not so easy.

But with cheap explosives from the base to open the way, the implementation of this plan is probably much simpler. Ten years is just Meng Xiang's most conservative estimate.

After the cap pleaded guilty to punishment and paid for it and left, Jiao Chongxin also ushered in Lu Chunhua, who had just finished working in the quilt factory.

"Second Brother Jiao!" Lu Chunhua said a little shyly when she saw Jiao Chongli. After all, in this era, there are still a few who run away from marriage. Even Jiao Chongxin only had such an idea after listening to the people from the work team who came to the village.

"Hmm!" Jiao Chongli replied, he was still very satisfied with Lu Chunhua, but the two families had more grievances, and the Jiao family and the Lu family also had a lot of grievances in the village, and the two of them ran out in the opposition of everyone in unison.

"Your second brother is telling us to go back?" Lu Chunhua asked in a whisper next to her.

"We don't have to go back. Haven't we already registered and received a marriage certificate? Didn't they say that the vanguard army will protect us as a legitimate couple. Jiao Chongxin firmly believed. With the support of his co-workers, he and Chunhua went to the marriage registration office to register. After verification, a marriage certificate was issued.

"That's them, catch them!" A strong man led seven or eight people and rushed over as soon as he saw Lu Chunhua.

Jiao Chongli's face turned pale when he saw it, these people who came over were from the Zheng family, and Lu Chunhua was promised to Zheng Tu, who was the leader.

"Run!" He pushed Jiao Chongxin. While shouting, he pushed a bicycle on the side of the road, blocking the road that Zheng Tu and they rushed over.

Jiao Chongxin took Lu Chunhua and ran two steps, and when he saw that Jiao Chongli had already rushed towards Zheng Tu and them with his bare hands, he let go of Lu Chunhua's hand and shouted, "You go first." I brought my second brother back. Ignoring Lu Chunhua's crying, he touched a door bolt in the store next to him and rushed up.

"Help!" The soprano of Lu Chunhua, who also did not run, sounded in the street.

A few minutes later, when the two Jiao brothers were beaten by Zheng Tu and their noses were bruised and swollen, the police of the Special Administrative Region arrived and rescued Lu Chunhua, who was shouting while biting and grabbing her.

"Deal with it seriously! Comply with the newly promulgated marriage regulations! Such an event can set a model. Meng Xiang said, but he will not interfere in the handling of cases by the people below, so that the cases are handled by the court, and others cannot interfere. It is the jury that plays the most crucial role.

The jury consisted of 30 percent of the legal professions, 30 percent of the citizens' representatives, and 40 percent of the representatives of the people. The representatives of the people then selected the local people who had behaved well and had no bad deeds on the basis of their identity codes, and because the representatives of the people were still paid by their departments during the day they served as a jury in the court, the people were happy to exercise their rights.
