Chapter 9: Consolidate the Site
Thanks to the group of bullies, Nangong Qiuyue and arank for their rewards and bows!
A reader in the book review area said, what is the meaning of constantly smearing Sun Yat-sen. I would like to ask back: What is the meaning of constantly adding halos to Sun Yat-sen?
Sun Yat-sen is indeed a good thing to have a mistress, a third-brother, and playing with a loli. Making wishes everywhere is also his usual method. Politicians are shameless, and I just write according to the reality. If you are very disappointed and difficult to accept, then I can't do anything about it.

The East China Provisional Government did not relocate immediately. Xia Jun first sent personnel to Hangzhou to grab land, build buildings, and other drawings. Xia Jun was ready.
In addition, I specially told me to buy a large piece of land by the West Lake to build a villa complex there, and in addition to living by himself, he also gave it to his subordinates.
As the Third Division advanced northward, Zhejiang's troops were quickly replenished, and the Fourth Temporary Division stopped its attack on Jiangsu, so it also returned to the Zhejiang battlefield.
Zhejiang Province was soon captured by Xia Jun. Xia Jun actively absorbed the revolutionaries in the territory and expelled those revolutionaries who could not absorb and held official positions in the local area.
In the entire Fujian and Zhejiang have become the world of the Baeking Party. Due to the independence of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, Tao Chengzhang also brought many members of the Restoration Society to Jian'an. Lu Xun was among them. Lu Xun was also a member of the Restoration Society, and at the same time he had a very good relationship with Tao Chengzhang.
The Baxing Party has expanded rapidly due to the arrival of this group of personnel. At this time, the number of party members has grown to more than 3,000, and the number is still increasing.
The reason why the development of the Baxing Party was so rapid is mainly because the theory of revival proposed by Xia Jun does not distinguish between groups, whether it is rich or poor, they pay attention to revival together. Although such a theory is somewhat magnificent, it is not very targeted. However, Xia Jun has achieved initial success in Fujian, and the situation in Fujian has been greatly changed. In the face of facts, this theory of magnificent can make people absolutely convinced.
Now the voice of revolution within the Baath Party has been low, but the voice of shouting the slogan of revival has become louder. "Revival" has gradually risen to a height comparable to "revolution" and has a tendency to replace it.
Under the situation of proving everything with facts, those passionate young people and revolutionary patriots accepted the theory of revival. Although Chairman Xia Jun was young, his prestige in the party was getting higher and higher day by day.
Since Lu Xun came to Jian'an, Xia Jun immediately hired him as the editor of Fuxing News. If he did a good job, the main writer of Fuxing News would basically be Lu Xun.
Tao Chengzhang came to Jian'an this time to serve as Minister of Education. Tao Chengzhang dressed simple on weekdays and ran around to raise funds. He has a high prestige among the people at the bottom of society. A person who can win prestige in the bottom of society has naturally good moral character. The Minister of Education did not ask him to teach directly. The most important thing is morality. Only people with good moral character can compete with this position.
As for ability, Xia Jun did not ask him to have any constructive opinions, because he would directly intervene in the development of education. Therefore, as long as he has good moral character and can do things, Tao Chengzhang is most suitable to be the Minister of Education.
The Minister of Health was handed over to Yang Xingye. On that day, Xia Jun invited the two to discuss the issue of education and medical fees. With the current financial resources, he was completely unable to support free medical care and free education for a long time. Of course, if points are used to exchange medicines, medical care can be free.
Yang Xingye entered Xia Jun's office first. Yang Xingye said: "The provisional government has just been established, and there are probably many places to spend money. Moreover, with the current financial strength, it is too difficult to implement free medical care. Therefore, in the future, the Ministry of Health will collect money for minor illnesses and free major illnesses. Poor households will provide relief and exemption and allow arrears. In addition, all the income from pharmaceuticals will be allocated to you. The Ministry of Health should try to reduce medical prices and achieve balance between income and expenditure. Don't turn this department into a profit department, do you understand?"
"I understand." Yang Xingye nodded. The current medical free policy is indeed not far. Because there is no money now, Xia Jun has more places to use for the 93 million silver dollars, and the infrastructure will basically be gone after repairing it.
Now Xia Jun has adjusted his policy and started to collect money when he is suffering from minor illnesses. The main reason is that the money is not collected much. Most people can afford it. If they can’t take it out, it is easy to borrow it. However, serious illnesses will drag down the economy of many families, and they may even die of illness. Therefore, serious illnesses still have to bear the burden of free medical care.
Medical expenses for minor illnesses and pains are used to subsidize the entire medical expenses. At the same time, Xia Jun will also allocate all pharmaceutical income to the Ministry of Health. The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry will be the focus of Xia Jun's investment in the future. Because the profits of drugs are extremely high, the funds will be added to the Ministry of Health in this area in the future. Anyway, the Ministry of Health will reduce the fees as much as the money it has.
Then Tao Chengzhang also came, and Xia Jun talked about the issue of education fees. In terms of education fees, Xia Jun advocated a temporary balance of income and expenditure, and promoted free education when he had money in the future. However, the children of poor households can be exempted from tuition fees. At the same time, if a certain place is generally not rich, it will not be charged.
The subsidies for education should be greater than medical care. Xia Jun allocated 45 million silver dollars from 93 million silver dollars in one breath to the Ministry of Education for the purpose of running schools.
"If the Chairman attaches so much importance to education, the rejuvenation of China is expected!" Tao Chengzhang said excitedly, which really made him very excited. Xia Jun not only attaches great importance to industry, but also to education. This is the equal importance of industry saving the country and education saving the country!
"Money is not a problem. We have to tighten the belt and run education. After the money is in place, it depends on Brother Tao." Xia Jun said to Tao Chengzhang.
"I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Chairman." Tao Chengzhang said with his fist, with full confidence in his expression.
After Tao Chengzhang left, Xia Jun had a detailed discussion with the ministers of each department, explaining their work goals and code of conduct for the next period of time.
The armed forces in various Fujian started recruiting troops again at this time. The armed forces were responsible for local militia training and were well aware of the local military sources, so the recruitment speed was very fast.
The five mixed brigades decided by Xia Jun were quickly established, and many officers were transferred from the First Division to serve in these mixed brigades and independent regiments. At the same time, a group of artillery students from the Infantry Department of the Army Academy of East China Military Academy and artillery science students were also transferred to the mixed brigades to serve.
Among the second class students, Zhang Yicheng and Chen Xuantao from the Infantry Department had the best academic performance. Both of them were appointed as the brigade commanders of the Mixed Brigade, while the other three brigade commanders were officers selected from the First Division.
However, the soldiers of the five mixed brigades and five independent regiments expanded this time were mainly drawn from the fourth and fifth temporary divisions.
As soon as the five independent regiments were established, they were immediately arranged to the designated garrison area to prevent them from being taken advantage of by warlords in neighboring provinces. The five mixed brigades responsible for coastline defense first practiced a queue in Jian'an for one month, then practiced combat skills for two months, and built fortifications fortifications for two months, and then transferred to the coastal defense line to build. That is to say, after training, there will be six months for coastal fortifications to be built.
During the military adjustment, You Zhengbin was constantly dispatching administrative personnel to the outside world. As the Minister of the Administration, he had to take care of many things.
However, the Ministry of Administration has much less affairs than the Ministry of Civil Affairs. At this time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was replaced by the newly appointed minister Zhao Chensheng. Zhao Chensheng was originally You Zhengbin's deputy. After You Zhengbin was transferred from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he took over the most troublesome department in the work.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs, this department must first clearly register the household registration of people in various places, and then distinguish the poor households for relief. At the same time, they must re-examine these poor households every once in a while. A large number of household registrations and demographic statistics are indeed a troublesome.
Fujian quickly stabilized during this uprising because most of the population in this era was concentrated in the countryside, while Fujian's rural areas were almost completely autonomous, while Zhejiang was a little confused because the countryside had no foundation, but Zhejiang's chaos was quickly suppressed.
All townships in Zhejiang have also begun to form autonomous councils. Zhejiang's local heritage is better than that in Fujian. The township autonomous councils have given local gentry the opportunity to become famous and the stage for them to show their ambitions. Most gentry have the intention to do practical things for the townships. The gentry of this era pays great attention to their reputation. However, at the beginning, they are always a little irregular, and this needs to be slowly corrected.
After the establishment of the local autonomous parliament, Zhejiang was soon stabilized. The East China Provisional Government was willing to delegate power to local gentry, and local gentry naturally supported the East China Provisional Government.
