The people clearly hoped to cultivate more wasteland to grow grain, so that they could have enough to eat in the future.
When Secretary Lin and others heard what Song Dongzheng had proposed, they all began to object.
Ever since Song Dongzheng used the previous re-education of bad elements to increase the number of militia, they knew that this young man was extremely wicked.
So no matter what request he makes, everyone's first reaction is that they can't agree. They need to think about it first.
Song Dongzheng said, "Your reasons for disagreeing."
"The people can't afford it. Besides, we already have enough land. We can't let this delay the people's planting tasks."
Song Dongzheng smiled and said, "It's alright. There are fifty militiamen in the county now. Each production team also has militiamen. I plan to use these militiamen as the vanguard for reclaiming wasteland. They are originally the county's mobile personnel, so there's no problem with delaying the county's work."
Director Jin of the county public security bureau asked, "Then what about the county's anti-corruption work?"
“Of course the county public security bureau should take responsibility, otherwise what’s the point of having a county public security bureau?” Song Dongzheng said forcefully.
These words left Director Jin speechless.
Now everyone understands why County Magistrate Song went to such lengths to build up the militia and increase its numbers. It turns out he felt secure having enough manpower.
Secretary Lin was so angry that he held his teacup and remained silent for a while.
The other women each had their own agendas. This County Chief Song has now firmly established himself in the county, and he'll have to reconsider which side he previously aligned himself with.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Song Dongzheng said, "You are all people's cadres, and you are all wholeheartedly serving the people. Now that the matter has been laid out on the table, I have also resolved the difficulties you raised. I hope that everyone can work together to serve the people. As cadres, we are most afraid of creating trouble out of nothing. Of course, I believe that all the comrades present in Jinhe County are good comrades and trustworthy comrades."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Secretary Lin with a friendly smile and asked, "Secretary Lin, you are a high-ranking leader. Do you have any other opinions?"
"..." Secretary Lin placed the teacup on the table. "Since Comrade Dongzheng has thought it through, I have no objections."
After the meeting, Song Dongzheng arranged for the militia to organize the reclamation of wasteland, and also arranged for the militia of various communes and production teams to participate and contribute to the construction of the motherland.
However, in order to facilitate unified management by the county, the militia teams of each production team and commune are temporarily under the unified management of the county militia regiment.
As soon as the news came out, the team leaders of each production team started running around, trying to get their teams to have more land so that they could have a better harvest next year.
As for who was in charge of the militia, the production team didn't think much about it. The production team's militia was naturally under the county's jurisdiction; they couldn't expect the county to listen to the production team, that would create chaos.
Some commune secretaries sensed something was amiss, but the document had already been issued, and with the county's militia having a large number of members, no one took the lead, and no one dared to openly oppose it.
