Chapter 490: Role Model

Although the Shilanfang was dilapidated, it actually looked more neat than some parts of the city under the control of those wandering children. When Sun Bo came here with a group of subordinates and some local gentry, he was very surprised to see this situation.

Hong Liang explained: "The children are idle and they are idle. There are no people here. During the wars of Wangchuan changing hands, many soldiers were seriously injured and died here. I took the children with them and tried to clean them up, otherwise... other soldiers in the city would not come to the Shilanfang at all. If they were not cleaned up, the children would be weak and had little food. Although they were still okay with drinking water, they were still easily infected. This way, everyone felt more like home. The houses on both sides were cleaned up and lived in. Some old and dangerous houses were empty, and children were usually forbidden to enter. Moreover... Recently, there was particularly little food, so the children should try to move as little as possible, so they would not be so hungry..."

Sun Bo sighed and asked, "You are the only one here, can you control it?"

"The children are more sensible, and a few older children will help. It's not difficult to manage. Haha, I usually spend the rest of my life outside and I have some medicinal herbs, but in fact I can't take care of it very seriously." Hong Liang said.

A 14 or 15-year-old child ran out from the side, but when he saw such a large group of people and many soldiers from the Blood Qi army, hesitated whether he would come over.

"Xiao Qi, go and call a few people to come, there is something to eat." Hong Liang greeted. The child who called Xiao Qi nodded vigorously and immediately turned around and ran away. Then, he immediately heard his loud shouting across several houses.

"General, I know this requirement is too much. Can you... be a little more money in addition to eating?" Hong Liang asked.

The loud request shocked the local gentry, which was indeed quite excessive, and it was very likely that Sun Bo felt that he was not greedy enough.

"Oh?" Sun Bo asked with a smile: "What are you going to do?"

"Buy books, sir... I usually use sand tray branches to teach them to read. They are diligent and studious, but I only know a few words myself. I am also an orphan, so I can read the most. If I want them to understand more, it seems that it will not be possible. It is not a solution to just find food for them. They should be able to do a job in the future." Hong Liang said.

Sun Bo sighed and said, "Mr. Hong, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, but as a military-controlled area, I don't have this authority to spend any funds other than military, public security, and basic official expenses. I have a way. I will appoint you as the deputy director of the Wangchuan City Affairs Department. You can be equipped with three subordinates, and the appointment authority will be given to you. Choose a few sensible children to join you. Relying on the basic official salary, if you save some money, it should be enough. In addition, I will personally sponsor you a lot of money... By the way, can you use the silver dollars and banknotes issued by Yunzhou Bank?"

Hong Liang was overjoyed and said, "It can be used, it can be used...this... In the past few years, Yunzhou silver coins have been the most responsible money in the world."

The local gentry around looked at Hong Liang with jealousy, especially Hong Liang's ignorant appearance. Sun Bo had explained to everyone just now that it was a temporary government agency during the military control period, responsible for handling all basic affairs except city defense. Before the establishment of the local formal organization, the City Guardian, had considerable authority. The deputy director and the appointment of three subordinates, the salary was second. Since the director must have turned back to the Dongping official brought by the garrison battalion, Hong Liang was basically the highest official among the locals. Hong Liang is indeed a local tyrant, and has a pure character. If he can perform slightly in this position, he will help maintain it.

He would almost certainly be officially appointed for matters such as public security, taxation, etc., and he would almost certainly be officially appointed to become one of the local high-ranking officials in Wangchuan. Local gentry knew the character of Hong Liang, and he was not worried that he would do whatever he wanted to do when he arrived at that position. Dongping's harsh administration did not allow such a situation to happen, especially here, Dongping wanted to truly take these land and population that originally belonged to Northern Liao in a short time, and the administration was definitely the top priority. However, it felt a little uncomfortable to let Hong Liang, a small person who was originally insignificant, climbed onto their heads all at once. However, during the military control period, they did not dare to say anything, and there was only a congratulations.

A few days later, the Yunzhou garrison battalion brought a group of officials. Of course, there were various geographical and humanities research teams and medical teams. In the original resolution, Wangchuan, a city with a relatively important location, was used as an important transit base for communicating with Yunzhou and Beiliao. Faced with such a large emerging market as Beiliao, and it was in a state of underdevelopment for many years, many merchants in Dongping had already smelled the smell of money. This time, the garrison battalion also came with the Qihai Chamber of Commerce, the representatives of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, a small group of researchers who were preparing to establish the Beiliao Regional Branch of Yunzhou Bank, officials of the Yunzhou Communication Bureau, representatives of FedEx and DHT Express, and even the branches of Fengyu Shengjian and Aichen Ramen were about to open quickly... They immediately brought vitality to this city that seemed a little too deserted.

But at this time, Sun Bo still led his troops to leave Wangchuan. Wangchuan, a city that will no longer be threatened by the enemy, can naturally carry out commercial development in one kind or another, but the battle is still in progress. Wangchuan's rapid recovery of development and production is also to provide stronger support for the front line. Compared with Wangchuan, although no one dares to threaten Xiangning and Qingya front line, this city and one town show a completely different temperament. Xiangning City is now where Tan Xiaopei, the ruler of Dongping, and Ye Tao, the ruler of the Northern Xinjiang Administration, stayed and defended.
