Chapter 389 Zhejiang takes office (2)

It turns out that Wang Lezhi is an alien among the elders. It is not that he is like a few elders, either noble, flat or out of place. In fact, this person is very pragmatic, starting from the grassroots level. When the elders just landed in and had not yet established the East China Government, he participated in the land reform work in Tianjin. Then he started step by step, starting from the county magistrate, and has always served in the local area. Three years ago, he became the mayor of Tianjin.

Although the East China Government does not have a municipality directly under the central government, the four cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao and Shanghai are directly under the management of the Executive Yuan, which is actually equivalent to municipality directly under the central government. It is only at the same level as provincial capital cities in terms of administrative level. Therefore, the mayor of Tianjin is still a must-have local position. Wang Lezhi was able to become the mayor of Tianjin, so he naturally had considerable local management capabilities.

What really made Wang Lezhi really different was that when he was running for county magistrate, his campaign book was written in a brush, and in a vertical format. He wrote two pages of small regular script neatly, which looked like printed characters. This shocked the Senate House, and they all watched the election book, and they were amazed. Unexpectedly, the Senate had such a talent.

In the old days, the elders were used to using computers or mobile phones to input, but in this era, it was obvious that it was impossible to rely on electronic products anymore. All documents could only be written by hand. Fortunately, there were pens in this era, but most of the elders wrote terrible words. Because in the first few years, there were very few elders who could write beautiful pens, let alone writing with brushes. Although among the elders, there were also several calligraphy enthusiasts, such as Qin Zheng, who liked to write a few words, they were also hobbies. Suddenly, a person who could write a document with a brush naturally caused a sensation.

Later, after checking the archives of the elders, I found that Wang Lezhi's experience was not simple. Before traveling through time, he came from a family of scholars. He started learning calligraphy at the age of 5 and joined the Chinese Calligraphy Association at the age of 24. His works have participated in many domestic and foreign exhibitions and won numerous awards. When he was 28, he also obtained a doctorate in calligraphy.

Wang Lezhi joined the crossing army with total luck. Now, You Mingqian, the postal committee member of the East China Government's diplomatic relations and postal committee, was friends with him. At that time, You Mingqian was the project responsible for the construction of a shipyard for aid abroad. Because the project was about to be completed, he wanted to erect a monument to memorialize the monument. Naturally, he had to mention words on the monument, indicating that the friendship between the two countries was long-lasting. At that time, Wang Lezhi had obtained a doctorate in calligraphy and could be called a calligrapher, so You Mingqian invited him to the Middle East to write words on the monument. It happened that Wang Lezhi was fine at that time, so he planned to go with his wife Wang Yu, just to travel to the Middle East. The couple had planned to go to Dubai after they mentioned the words. Then they knew that wars had occurred when they arrived at the place. They finally came to the evacuation fleet, but they traveled to this era. When the crossing happened, Wang Lezhi was 29 years old and his wife Wang Yu was 27 years old.

After coming to this era, Wang Lezhi and his wife quickly accepted the reality, and both of them were very pragmatic. Wang Lezhi knew that he had calligraphy expertise and had basically no use in this era. At least for a considerable period of time, they were all very useless. Therefore, they did not deliberately show off, but started from the grassroots level until they were about to run for the county magistrate. Because considering the impression of the election books, Wang Lezhi decided to write with a brush to show his calligraphy level.

As a result, Wang Lezhi became famous among the elders. Later, all the elders needed to write inscriptions and basically came to him wherever they wrote. Wang Lezhi also refused to accept everyone, and Bi Jing did not waste anything. At the same time, Wang Lezhi also made steady progress in his career. Of course, Wang Lezhi's step-by-step promotion was not based on his calligraphy. Although he did not achieve great success in his position in the local area, the local economic development he had served gradually increased. Therefore, he has been the mayor of Tianjin and has accumulated considerable local administrative experience. This time he participated in the election for the governor of Zhejiang.

Of course, as Wang Lezhi's position was promoted and his power increased, he began to gradually express his ideas. As a calligrapher in the old time and space, Wang Lezhi was naturally a lover of Chinese traditional culture. Therefore, he published articles in internal publications many times, requiring the East China Government to strengthen the protection and inheritance of Chinese traditional culture. When he was the mayor of Tianjin, he collected special funds in Tianjin and opened the Tianjin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. This was also the first Academy of Calligraphy and Painting opened by the East China Government, which carried out the creation and research of calligraphy, painting pens, gold and stone, seal carving, sculpture, etc. At the same time, he also recruited a group of artists to serve in the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to ensure that they had a stable income and could engage in artistic creation with peace of mind.

In fact, the East China Government is not unwilling to protect and inherit Chinese traditional culture, but the top priority is to develop industry first and realize industrialization. This is the basis for making China stand in the world. Therefore, funds, manpower and material resources must be used to this point, while culture and art can only be temporarily gone, and when the economy develops and the country's strength becomes stronger. However, some places have developed economies and high fiscal revenues. Within the scope permitted by local conditions, some work of protecting, inheriting, and carrying forward Chinese traditional culture is of course supported by the East China Government.

Wang Lezhi's behavior has also won a lot of praise among the elders. After all, most elders also support the protection, inheritance and development of Chinese traditional culture. Therefore, in addition to calligraphy, this is also one of the reasons why Wang Lezhi's reputation has increased greatly.

In Wang Lezhi's campaign report, a large part of the content of protecting and inheriting Chinese traditional culture in Zhejiang, because Zhejiang is also a major cultural province in China and the birthplace of Wuyue culture and Jiangnan culture. This is also one of the reasons why Wang Lezhi was able to successfully run for the election. In other aspects of the competition, the two candidates basically have their own strengths and are generally equivalent.

The results of the election were announced for three days, and no one in the Senate raised objections, so the results were passed, so the Executive Yuan officially issued an appointment letter and sent to Tianjin.

After receiving the appointment letter, Wang Lezhi immediately handed over the work with the deputy mayor, and then took a boat south alone to Zhejiang to take office. His wife Wang Yu and the children remained in Tianjin for the time being and did not take office with him.

Before traveling through time, Wang Lezhi and his wife did not have children. After coming to this era, they gave birth to a pair of twins. The girl named Wang Liu and the boy named Wang Yan. The two children are 7 years old this year and both went to school in Tianjin. After the East China Government established the adoption system, the couple also adopted a man and a woman. Bi Jing can afford it now. Of course, the more children the better, and it will be easier to grow in the future and form a family. The two children adopted by Wang Lezhi changed their surname to Wang. The girl was 6 years old this year and named Wang Xi. The boy was 4 years old this year and named Wang Xian. Of course, the names of these four children also fully reflect Wang Lezhi's evil taste.

It turns out that although Wang Lezhi has been in politics, his wife Wang Yu has taken the business path. Among the elders, he is a very common combination of husband and wife. Wang Yu worked in logistics in the old time and space. Therefore, after the establishment of the East China Government, she rented several ships and opened a transportation company. As the power of the East China Government expanded, since it was after the Far East War, the East China Government not only controlled the shipping line north of Shanghai, but also controlled the shipping line in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Wang Yu also attracted more than 10 veterans' investments. With the bank's loans, he raised more than 2 million silver dollars, expanding the original transportation company into a logistics company, named "Huayun". Wang Yu holds 55% of the shares and can control the company with full control. It is headquartered in Qingdao, mainly engaged in transportation business in the eastern coastal areas and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Whether it is industrialization or commercialization, material circulation is an important link. Therefore, the material transportation circulation volume of the East China Government is quite large. Although the East China government has built a complete postal circulation system within its jurisdiction, it is far from meeting the needs of material transportation circulation volume. It is also determined that relevant private companies need to operate complementary operations.

Wang Yu originally worked in logistics in the old time and space. She was naturally familiar with the operation, process, management, monitoring and other matters of logistics companies. At the same time, Wang Yu also paid great attention to the company's credit and reputation. Therefore, after the establishment of Huayun Logistics Company, its business has been very good and developed rapidly. By this time, Huayun Logistics Company had set up station warehouses in more than 30 cities of the East China Government, and had 6 sea boats, 8 river boats, 17 cars, 20 train transfers, more than 200 carriages, more than 300 horses, and more than 3,000 employees. It also expanded from the eastern coastal areas and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the inland areas. The total assets have reached nearly 10 million silver dollars, and among the companies founded by veterans, they can squeeze into the top 10.

Since the Beijing-Qinghai Railway has been fully opened, Huayun Logistics Company is developing transportation business along the Beijing-Qinghai Railway. Because Qingdao is the capital of the East China Government now, and Beijing is the capital of the future New China. This railway line is basically a city with a huge transportation market space. Therefore, it is also an important link in the development of Huayun Logistics Company. Wang Yu naturally dared not neglect and had to deal with it himself. Tianjin is close to Beijing and has railways connected, so it is very convenient to travel. Therefore, Wang Yu stayed in Tianjin for the time being, taking care of four children while handling the company's business matters. When Wang Lezhi stabilized in Zhejiang, the matter here was handled. Wang Yu took the four children to Zhejiang and met with Wang Lezhi.
