Chapter 108 Examination (5)
The inspection in Tianjin City was basically over, and Qin Zheng immediately led everyone, still protected by Luo Yue, and returned to the concession.
At this time, the reserve army and naturalized people who came by land had set up more than 40 tents in the Victoria Garden, and the size of the camp had expanded several times. Some of the reserve soldiers had already begun to guard the concession under Qin Yuhai's dispatch. Because there were more people now, the pressure on the army was reduced a lot.
After Qin Zheng came back, Qin Yuhai first reported to Qin Zheng, and had notified the British in Gordon Hall, asking them to pack up their things tonight and prepare to move out of Gordon Hall tomorrow. He also announced to the residents gathered in Gordon Hall that they would be reviewed and registered tomorrow, and then they would be put back to their residences to live. At the same time, Qin Yuhai ordered people to enter Gordon Hall to guard and seal off all the warehouses, warehouses, etc. of Gordon Hall.
At this time, the people living in Gordon Hall were a little nervous and didn't know what the ending would be. Bi Jing now had no power to resist and could only be slaughtered. After hearing Qin Yuhai's announcement, although he was still half-believing, he was somewhat at ease.
After listening to Qin Yuhai's report, the two engineers accompanying Tang Ruqun and Liu Hao also reported to Qin Zheng.
On the way to Tianjin, both of them conducted examinations along the way. According to the results of the examinations, the roads from Dagukou to Tianjin were basically made of soil compacted. Only a few areas were covered with gravel, which could only be equivalent to the fourth-class highway in the old time and space. The road quality can only be considered low-level, and the width can only be considered two lanes. In this way, the carriages are acceptable on this road, but it is obviously unqualified to pass through large vehicles.
Therefore, the two suggested rebuilding this road, but it was still based on the original road, and the potholes were filled out, then re-compressed, and widened on both sides to reach the width of four lanes, and the road shoulders were built to protect. In the case of no pavement materials such as cement, asphalt, etc., the pavement can be paved with gravel mixed clay, lime and other materials, and the pavement surface can be re-compressed. In areas with severe local damage, it needs to be renovated and rebuilt, which can reduce construction period and save costs. Although it is still the standard for a fourth-class highway after completion, the pavement quality can reach the level of an intermediate road. In addition, cement or asphalt can be produced in the future, and the road can be directly paved on the pavement and upgraded to a secondary road.
So Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao immediately recruited other executive members and alternate executive members to discuss the management and construction plan of Tianjin City and the concession.
Before supper, everyone finally discussed the result, and first of all, they determined five major principles:
1. The provisional government in Tianjin was officially established to manage administrative affairs in Tianjin, and to recycle the Tianjin Concession and Tianjin Customs, which belong to the Crossing Group. In the consulates in the concession, except for the consulates of various countries, but still require inspection, the relevant administrative agencies such as the Ministry of Industry and Police and Patrol agencies of other countries were revoked at one rate, and all assets were reclaimed and all assets were reclaimed.
The Concession Gordon Hall was confiscated as the administrative office of the Time Travel Group in Tianjin, and the Gordon Hall was modernized, mainly laying circuits, installing power supply equipment, etc.
We began to recruit troops in Tianjin and expand the military force of the crossing group. The detailed arrangements were discussed and decided by the Military Commission.
4 Establish a special sheltering agency to recruit former Tianjin residents who fled back to Tianjin to settle down, help return residents find job opportunities, let them support themselves, and take the opportunity to redefine the administrative areas of Tianjin, establish and improve administrative agencies at all levels of the Crossing Group, and redistribute the land in Tianjin. Establish a tax system and customs tax system belonging to the Crossing Group, and appropriately consider establishing several factory industries in Tianjin to support and improve the circulation economy in Tianjin.
5 According to the suggestions of Tang Ruqun and Liu Hao, the road from Dagukou to Tianjin was rebuilt.
In addition, the management plan for the concession is:
1. The personnel in the concession will be reviewed immediately and registered. Those who have passed the review can be released immediately and returned home. The concession will be subject to night bans. From 6 am to 9 pm, they can freely move in the concession. If they need to be outside for work reasons, they need to apply for a temporary night licence. If they are outside during the night ban, they will not have a temporary night licence, and they will be arrested and punished.
Hospitals, water plants, clean cities and telegraph offices within the concession will be given priority, while other shops must declare property to the Crossing Group and undergo review. After verification, corresponding business licenses will be issued to allow business operations. All churches in the concession will be temporarily prohibited from opening.
At this stage, concession personnel, ships and vehicles are prohibited from going out. If someone needs to go out, he or she needs to apply to the government and the government will issue a temporary travel permit before he or she can go out. Otherwise, he or she will be arrested and punished.
4 Plan the construction of the concession and gradually begin to improve the construction public facilities within the concession.
The management plan for Tianjin City is:
1. Review and register personnel in Tianjin city, and establish a complete household registration system and urban management system.
Clean up construction waste, abandoned and dilapidated houses in Tianjin City, and build new houses appropriately according to the population return situation.
Improve the drainage, sanitation facilities and public facilities in Tianjin city, and establish a complete protection and sanitation system to force residents to develop hygiene habits.
Then, Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao jointly sent the formulated management and construction plan for Tianjin City and the concession to Dagukou and handed it over to Xia Bohai, Xiao Jianjun, and the executive committee members who stayed in Dagukou and alternate executive committee members to discuss.
At 8 pm, Dagukou responded to Tianjin and basically agreed with the results of the discussion on Tianjin, but believed that the establishment of the Tianjin regional provisional government and the withdrawal of customs should be delayed at present.
Because these two are too sensitive, if the Dagukou, Tianjin, Concession, and other institutions that are abolished, they can still be taken from the perspective of China. However, if the Tianjin region provisional government and the customs are established, it is equivalent to establishing itself as king. If the Tianjin region provisional government can be established with a stopgap method, then it is impossible to revoke the customs. Although the customs of the Qing court were controlled by foreigners at this time, it is still a matter of fact that Shanghai customs is still an institution of the Qing court, and foreigners working in customs are theoretically employees of the Qing court. Therefore, if the customs are now taken back, it is obviously not acceptable.
Although the ultimate goal of the time travelers is to overthrow the rule of the Qingting and establish a republic, the goal cannot be announced to the public at present. Because the time travelers still need the fig leaf of the Qingting to occupy the Daming Sword.
On the other hand, although the time travelers have achieved great victory, including the Tianjin Battle, the time travel army has not yet achieved overwhelming military superiority, because the Eight-Nation Alliance has not damaged its vitality. Because the German fleet is now coming, the Eight-Nation Alliance still has considerable resistance. After the Time Travel Army defeated the German fleet, the Eight-Nation Alliance completely dispelled the fantasy of the Eight-Nation Alliance. At that time, the military superiority of the Time Travel Army reached its peak, and this is almost the time when the Tianjin Provisional Government was announced and the customs was retracted. After all, at that point, the Time Travelers can do whatever they want.
Therefore, Dagukou believes that the provisional government in Tianjin should not be established for the time being, but still manages the concession area under the name of the provisional executive committee. He also ignores the customs for the time being and only restricts the customs' actions. The Tianjin area of Bijing is a circulation economy, and now the Crossing Group has cut off Tianjin's external ties, which has basically cut off the customs business. Anyway, I will leave it for the time being and wait until the German fleet is defeated.
As for the construction of the concession and Tianjin city, Dagukou believes that other large-scale construction and investment should not be carried out in addition to rebuilding the road from Dagukou to Tianjin. Because it is a construction investment with high technical difficulties and high resources, it only takes some projects such as the transformation of Gordon Hall, or is indispensable supporting facilities. Because the resources currently controlled by the Time Travel Group are limited, Tianjin is only a temporary station in the Time Travel Group's plan. Even if Tianjin will not be abandoned in the future, it will not be a formal base, so there is no need to carry out large-scale construction at this stage.
But the road from Dagukou to Tianjin is very important, because Tianjin is a circulation economy. Although it has been cut off from external relations, it will definitely be reopened after defeating the German fleet. Although Tianjin has the benefits of shipping Haihe River, the Haihe River is a river after all, and the transportation volume is limited. Therefore, building a high-quality road complements the navigation of Haihe River. Whether in terms of economic or military, it is completely necessary for the current crossing group. Moreover, building a fourth-class highway and intermediate-level quality road is not technically difficult, and the resources used can be easily obtained. Now the number of prisoners of the crossing group has reached more than 5,000. Such rich human resources would be a pity if it was not used.
However, although the construction cannot be carried out, the planning of Tianjin area can be carried out in advance. After all, only planning does not occupy much resources, it only requires human resources. There are many talents in this area in the Time Travel Group. Now most Time Travel personnel have nothing to do and are bored, so it is better to find some things for them to do.
