Chapter 1109 Chapter [-] Dusk Rain in August in Chengdu

Chengdu in August.

The torrential rain season that brought serious floods to Dujiangyan has just passed, leaving a small tail, and the annoying autumn rain knocked down the leaves, still invading this ancient city that has become the political and cultural center of the Chinese Army.These days, the mud in the city seems to have been cursed by enemies from all over the world, and it hasn't been dried for a moment.

The yellowing tree leaves were knocked down by the rain and dropped into the annoying mud, waiting to put more pressure on the ancient city's drainage system.On the road, many pedestrians walked carefully or hastily between the streets and alleys, but the caution is only short-lived. Sooner or later, the muddy water on the road will splash those beautiful and brand-new trouser legs, so people grit their teeth amidst complaints Take it easy, it doesn't matter.

There are still naive children playing around under the eaves of the roadside, using soaked mud to build dams in front of the house door to defend against the "flood" on the street, some playing with mud all over their bodies, The found mother spanked hysterically and dragged her back.

A large cart pulled by tall horses travels through the streets and alleys of the city, occasionally stopping at a fixed platform, and people dressed in new or old clothes get off from the cart, avoiding muddy water, hold up umbrellas, and people come and go. It is a sea of ​​umbrellas.

In such weather, the business of restaurants and teahouses, large and small, is even better.People with various purposes meet at the agreed place, enter the side room facing the street, sit at the tea table with the open window and watch the crowd running in the rain below, first complain about the weather as usual, and then warm up Accompanied by refreshments, they began to talk about the purpose of the meeting.

"You don't know, the road outside the city is much worse than here."

"The Huaxia Army built a large-scale construction project, and the outside of the city was a whole circle. I didn't read the "Tiandu Bao" that said. Chengdu, since ancient times, has been the center of Shu. The tombs of many generations of Shu kings, who don't know, are all here. They said they dug the ground last year and touched the royal tomb..."

"The Huaxia Military Yamen said that the development is too fast, and the drainage facilities are not fully done. The main reason is that there are not enough drainage openings outside, so the city can't drain. This year, there may be a tax on the outside of the city."

"Digging ditches for drainage is a big deal. We have a way, so we can find a way to secure it..."

"July still said that the military and civilians are integrated, but I didn't expect that August would be a rectification movement..."

All kinds of information are mixed in this busy city, and it has also become a part of city life.

In the afternoon, outside the old city walls of Chengdu, the first and most prosperous new factory area was built, and some roads were muddy due to the coming and going of vehicles and horses.Lin Jingmei, wearing a coir raincoat and carrying a waterproof leather bag for work, walked on the road with her middle-aged aunt as her partner.

She had not been transferred to Chengdu not long ago, and she was not very familiar with the surrounding situation, so she was assigned to be a partner with an old Chinese army cook who had long been involved in the development of the factory area here.This female cook, whose surname is Shen Mingjuan, is tall and thick, and illiterate. At first, Lin Jingmei didn't know why she was transferred to work in the education department, but after a few days, she understood that this woman's personality was like her mother's. Chicken, can hold children, and is very protective of cubs. Lin Jingmei came to partner with her, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the other party's writing work.

They are now visiting the nearby factories one by one.

"We are from the Ministry of Education. Regarding the 'Shanxue' plan that will start soon, the higher-ups should have sent you a notice. This is the original text of the order. This is the summary of the foreign children who are hanging on your side by the household registration department. The situation, now I want to compare and verify with you. At the beginning of September, all the children in the vicinity will go to 'Shanxue' to go to school, and they can no longer run around outside. There are regulations on fees..."

"Do you still have to pay?"

"Our Huaxia Army pays a lot of the basic expenses. We are responsible for the daily meals. You bear part of it, and you can also deduct it from the taxes you have to pay in the future. You should have said it at the meeting at the end of July... "

"There are so many of you, and you send out documents every day, how can we see it. Look at our small workshop...it didn't say that we would send children to school, and what kind of school does a girl want to go to, her girl..."

"Girls must also go to school. However, as long as you let your children go to school, we will allow school-age children to work in your factory to earn money every time they take a bath. You see, you can apply for this, if If you don’t apply, it’s child labor. After September, we will conduct an investigation on this area, and the punishment will be heavy in the future..."

"You guys...their children do things with adults...they don't want to go to school. Since ancient times, studying has been for the rich. How can you do this? How much does it cost? These people are hard-working people. People, come here to make money..."

If ten workshops enter eight, they will encounter all kinds of prevarications and obstructions. This may be because the Ministry of Education has no deterrent effect, and two women are added.Some people made jokes, and some tried to say: "There were so many children who came in at that time, but when they arrived in Chengdu, they had some...not so many..."

Shen Juan stood up: "What did you say?"

Lin Jingmei's gaze also sank: "You mean, a child died or ran away here, and you didn't report it?"

The work of checking the list was quite difficult. Occasionally, they would meet those with even worse attitudes. They would start to show off their relationship with a certain official of the Huaxia government and yell at them to get out. Some factory security guards would be photographed by Shen Juan. Falling to the ground, sometimes, Lin Jingmei enthusiastically began to ask who the other party's "relationship" was, took out a small notebook, and made simple records, until the other party's face became unconfident and suspicious.

This is destined to not be a simple job that can be done.

Besides the one she and Shen Juan were in charge of, there were still different people in various places outside the city at this time, promoting the same thing.

"The weather in July and August is really annoying..."

Running through the mud until the evening, Lin Jingmei and Shen Juan returned to the address of the new "Shanxue" school in this area. Shen Juan cooked dinner to welcome the school members who came back one after another. The rain in the sink washed the feet.The feet are almost soaked.

Peng Yueyun came over for dinner twice, and he spoke very sweetly and lavishly praised Shen Juan for the delicious food, which made Shen Juan smile, patted her chest and promised that she would take good care of Lin Jingmei here.And of course everyone knows that Lin Jingmei is now a famous woman, and she was transferred to Chengdu from other places for the sake of her engaged husband-in-law.

For the time being, no one knows their relationship with Ning Yi.

After dinner, the two boarded the public carriage back to the inner city on the side of the road, and there were often many people in the spacious carriage.Lin Jingmei and Peng Yueyun huddled in a corner, talking about work.

"If the education side is only running, and there is no stick to knock them down, these people will definitely play tricks. Those children who were transported to the Southwest were originally considered child laborers they planned, but now they are working with their parents in the workshop. It is common. We say we need to regulate this phenomenon, but in their view, we want to snatch what they already have from them. Dad said that the children will be admitted to school in mid-September. I am afraid that the Ministry of Commerce and Security can only be guaranteed with a joint operation. But recently, there is a rectification from top to bottom, and the promotion of "good learning" is not limited to Chengdu. Will there be no manpower for such a large-scale matter..."

A century-old plan, education first.The construction of the Huaxia Army's education system was something that was being done almost immediately after the regicide, but the size of the Huaxia Army at each stage was different.A few years ago, I was trapped in a small place like Dengsan County, and the strength of teachers trained was close to enough. However, after jumping out of the Chengdu Plain, it was another big expansion. After defeating the Jurchens and opening up to the world, it continued to expand once.

Although Ning Yi runs a large night school and simplifies teaching, even if someone who can serve as a teacher is upgraded exponentially, it will take time to suddenly adapt to such a large site.The number of teachers in the first half of this year was already insufficient. In the second half of the year, Ning Yi racked his brains to squeeze out some teachers to cover the junior school on the heads of foreign children near Chengdu. rush.

Such a "good learning" school is destined to have insufficient teachers, and the inclusion of these boys and girls who are foreign child laborers into the school will inevitably cause a wave of incomprehension and backlash, but Ning Yi still decided to move forward.Lin Jingmei came here, and she is also an important "observer" placed in this work.

She has followed Ning Yi since she was a child, and was raised by the most core and outstanding figures of the Huaxia Army. She was originally responsible for a lot of core work related to the secretary. Not just the immediate things.

"...Actually, what I'm most worried about is that what happened this time will make the situation outside worse...These refugees who were sent to the Southwest had no home at all. The reason why the nearby factories and workshops let them take The child came over, thinking in his heart that he wanted to take advantage of the child's ability to work as a child laborer. This time we will standardize things, and of course we must do it, but after we are done, the outside business people will come over, I am afraid that more people will come. The wives are scattered, some children who could have come in, maybe they won't be allowed in... Could it be considered that I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me?"

Peng Yueyun smiled: "Sometimes, it is indeed like this."

He didn't express his opinion on this matter, because similar thoughts surged at the core of the Huaxia Army every moment.Every action of the Huaxia Army now will affect the chain reaction of the whole world, and the reason why Lin Jingmei is sentimental at the moment is just to express these sentimental thoughts in front of him. Her determination and tenacity, this combination of rigidity and softness, is the unique woman he likes.

"Liu Guangshi fought fiercely with Zou Xu...Liu Guangshi has the upper hand for the time being..."

They talked about a lot of things in this way and that in the carriage, and people came up from the carriage one after another, and then went down one after another.When they arrived at the Huaxia Army's dormitory area at the end of the carriage, night had already fallen, and the night sky was as clear as water. The two talked side by side and walked inside.They are not married yet, so they each have their own rooms, but even if they live together occasionally, no one will talk about them anymore.They would chat about many things, and the rapid changes in Chengdu and the Huaxia Army also gave them many topics to talk about.

At the same time, on the other side of the city, Yu Hezhong, who has become one of the important figures in the Southwest, visited the courtyard where Li Shishi lived.In the past year, they usually get together as friends about twice a month. Evening visits are not common, but at this time it is just nightfall, and Yu Hezhong is passing by, so it is natural to come and have a look.

Perhaps Yu Hezhong smelled of alcohol just after the dinner party.Shi Shi was not surprised. He called someone to bring out refreshments and received him cordially.

"Fighting the floods in July, your news papers were full of good things about the army. When August comes, your rectification movement this time is really powerful..."

Facing Shishi, Yu Hezhong has long been used to being straight to the point. He also knows that some of his own thoughts cannot hide from the other party's eyes, so he always speaks very straightforwardly.And these things, in front of him, are inextricably linked with him, the "rich and idler"...
