Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

Two days later, instructions came down and Zhang Mo came to see Li Gang in person. The higher-ups agreed to make Li Gang the battalion commander and sent two platoons of active-duty soldiers. If there were not enough, Li Gang could recruit retired soldiers. This could be considered a disguised way of arranging a job for him!

However, Li Gang was required to accept not only the soldiers but also their families, because guarding the tea trees was not a one-day or two-day job, it was a long-term job, so it was necessary to arrange for the soldiers' families to come as well.

In addition, Zhang Mo told Li Gang that the higher-ups were studying whether to withdraw the base and turn it into a town. After the arrival of these military families, plus the original personnel of the base and the surrounding villages, the population was almost 20,000. Therefore, the higher-ups were considering whether to turn the base into a town, but there was no conclusion on the ownership issue.

Li Gang: What the hell, changing it to a town, this is just a farm, changing it to a shitty town, can it become a municipality, haha, am I overthinking it?

Zhang Mo said to Li Gang earnestly, "Li Gang, don't be emotional. The higher-ups have their own considerations. Although the year is much better, many people still don't have enough to eat. Our Dragon Country has too many people, so eating is a big problem. Besides, although a few factories have been opened in Sijiu City, there are still many unemployed people in Sijiu City. So, Li Gang, since you have the ability, help the higher-ups share some of the burden!"

"After it is converted into a town, you will have a number of jobs here. Your instant noodles are now exported. Can you also expand the factory? Wouldn't it be good to earn more foreign exchange for the country? Don't always guard your one acre and three mu of land. Besides, there are so many wastelands here. Can't you open up more wasteland and grow more food? I know that the villages around this base each received nearly a thousand kilograms of food last year. This is not your credit. You can support more people."

Well, Li Gang thought that his little tricks would not attract much attention from the higher-ups, and that it would be fine to just live like this. But he never expected that his every move was known to the higher-ups, so did they also know about his affairs in Japan?

Li Gang really guessed wrong. Although it is easy to find out something about a person in the face of national power, don't forget who is in power in Japan now. Ikeda is the longevity god of Xuanhuang Sect. Will he expose Li Gang's identity? Impossible. Let's talk about some historical issues. Longguo's intelligence work on Japan is not so sound, so Li Gang has no need to worry.

Zhang Mo went back, and Li Gang felt a little heavy-hearted. When he got home, Lou Xiaoe and Qin Jingru were both at home. Seeing that Li Gang looked like he was worried, they did not bother him but just silently made tea for him.

In the evening, Lou's father and mother also came over. Lou Xiao'e told Lou's father that Li Gang seemed to be worried and had been sitting there for almost the whole afternoon.

In fact, Li Gang had nothing on his mind. It was just that when he came back, he thought of a few words Zhang Mo said, which made Li Gang hesitate. Yes, the people of Longguo had problems with food and work. Li Gang was originally a person who enjoyed himself alone.

But Zhang Mo's words today gave Li Gang some ideas. He has the ability and the golden finger. Although he cannot expose it, he can help the country indirectly. Isn't it good to accelerate the country's development?

I used to be too narrow-minded and indulged myself too much. Look at those seniors like me, they are all selfless. But then I look at myself, I only know how to enjoy myself all day long. Alas!

Li Gang figured it out. Since the higher-ups intend to convert the base into a town, could he build this emerging town into the most developed town in the country, and even in the world in all aspects?

Of course you can. You are familiar with history, and you know about the technological products of the future. These can be planned in advance. Why do you have to think about going to Hong Kong?

As for the wind? I believe that as long as I hold on to the thighs, I should be fine. Isn't it to sleep with a few stars in Hong Kong? After that, I will also build up my film career. Will there be no stars to sleep with? Don't the stars in the future run to the mainland? As long as the industry is done well, this is not a problem.

Li Gang slammed the table, and it broke into pieces. Li Gang was so focused on thinking that he forgot about his own strength. He lost control and broke the table.

Lou Xiao'e "Xiao Si, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you so angry?"

Qin Jingru, Lou's father and mother also came over and asked Li Gang what happened.

Li Gang smiled lightly, "Nothing, I just figured out some things, father-in-law, shall we go out for a walk?"

Father Lou: It’s almost dark now, why go out? But Li Gang invited us, so let’s go!

The two of them left the house and walked around casually. Li Gang

"Father-in-law, I want you to go to Japan again,"

Father Lou: "Why are you going to Russia? Is there something going on?"

Li Gang: "You go find that guy called Inoue and buy some things from him. Don't worry, they are all things related to daily life machinery. I want to buy back these technologies and produce them ourselves."

Li Gang also told Lou Zhenhua that the base might be converted into a town.

"If we can buy these equipment and technologies, and this place is really going to be turned into a town, I will build a few more factories, and you, father-in-law, will be the director of the Commerce Bureau."

Lou Zhenhua: What, it was changed to a town? Li Gang is now at the deputy department level. If it is changed to a town, then many departments will be established. If you are the director of the Commercial Bureau, your level is at least deputy division level. It has only been a short time since you changed from a businessman to a public official, and you are already the director.

"Okay, I'll go to Japan and I'll definitely do what you asked me to do."

After Li Gang figured out some things, he was in a very happy mood and went home to sleep with his wife.

In early July, there was an instruction from above that the base was indeed changed into a town. Not only that, Li Gang's rank was also raised to that of a full-time department head.

The reason was that Li Gang handed Zhang Mo a document, which basically said that Li Gang sent Lou Zhenhua to Japan to buy out some civilian production technology, intending to build several factories at the base to solve the current employment problem for the people in the city. In addition, a large area of ​​wasteland would be reclaimed. In addition to some necessary residential buildings, all the wasteland around would be developed and planted with food.

Therefore, Li Gang's rank was raised to that of a director, and he served as the Party Secretary and Mayor of Xinxing Town. Except for some personnel who were transferred to other places, Li Gang could handle the rest of the personnel independently and according to needs.

The meaning is very clear. Xinxing Town and the staff can be coordinated from above. Those required by the departments can be established, and those that are not required will not be established for the time being. After all, the situation here is special, and everything depends on Li Gang's operation progress. Therefore, we have to listen to Li Gang's decision on which department is needed.

Li Gang has great power. He is both the secretary and the mayor. This is rare. Xinxing Town is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the city. The word "temporarily" is very intriguing. If the town develops well, will it still be under the jurisdiction of the central government? We have to wait and see.

Li Gang became the town party secretary, so there are many vacancies for cadres below him. This is a good opportunity. Although it is just a town, its level is indeed at the bureau level, which is equivalent to a city. If you become a director here, your level must be at least deputy director!

At this point, the entire city was in an uproar, and officials began to make plans, all wanting to get a piece of Li Gang's pie and get a job. So some used their connections, some used their acquaintances, and everyone tried their best. But they forgot that Li Gang had the final say on who to use and who not to use. Even if you found the mayor of the city, he wouldn't have the courage to arrange for someone.

It's not that the mayor doesn't have the courage to arrange someone, it's that Li Gang is a bit mean, he brought the civil servant examination system of later generations here in advance and held an open recruitment.

This move of Li Gang was not only praised by the second person, but also by the first person, who said that Li Gang had made a good start and that this was a good idea that could be well implemented. If the effect was good, could it be tried nationwide in the future?

Li Gang has broken the traditional distribution system. The number one person has spoken, and the meaning is very clear. At this time, if you dare to use connections or go through the back door, you will be punished or not. You dare to disrupt the instructions of the number one person. Aren't you brave enough?

So even though many people use their connections, basically, it has no effect, unless you are familiar with Li Gang, like Director Zhou, Minister Yu, and Li Huaide. Look, Minister Yu is sitting next to Li Gang right now, talking about this and that, but he doesn't say what he is here for.

Li Gang: "General Yu, you keep talking nonsense. What's the matter with you? I have a lot of work to do in Xinxing Town. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Minister Yu chuckled and said, "Hey, don't call me general. Your rank is higher than mine. You are at the level of a director general. As a new secretary, you know that I am here to help you solve your problems after you finish your work, right?"

Li Gang: "Come on, if you have something to say, just say it. I didn't say I won't send it. Are you still trying to help me solve my problem? Who are you trying to fool?"

Minister Yu: "Okay, let me be frank. Someone has come to me for help. I have no choice but to come to you to see if I can make some arrangements for these people."

Li Gang: "Oh, these people are quite capable, aren't they? They found you. You are more capable than the first person. You can arrange jobs for them. Let me tell you this! I will give you the position of secretary. How about you do it? Then you can arrange whoever you want. How great is that?"

Minister Yu shuddered. "You can't use that analogy. If other people heard this, I would be in trouble. Don't hurt me."

Li Gang just wanted to scare him, so that he would know that he should not think that he can make decisions for him just because he is close to him. If you say to arrange people, I have to arrange them for you, then he would be too worthless.

Li Gang: "Okay, there's no outsider here, who are you talking to? Tell me where you are from."
