After taking a shower, he felt much more relaxed and had no choice but to return to his office.

He wanted to get some rest early, but time didn't allow it!
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and we still need to get our work done. Otherwise, it's not good for Lao Zhao and Lao Zuo to keep dragging things out.

His office was already piled high with documents, all waiting for him to process.

He returned in the afternoon and didn't finish all his recent work until midnight, feeling even more exhausted.

"Ugh, I'm so tired."

He sighed, then turned and walked towards home.

"Young Master, this is some soup that Madam just asked me to bring you. Please have some!"

"Thank you, I'll take it back now, and drink it later!"

"Ok!"

He smiled as he looked at his guards, then led them straight home.

……

"Young Master, are you going to say something this year, or prepare some condolences? After all, the coming year might be even more difficult!"

"No, you guys handle it. And my book has been published, right?"

"It's already been published. Now, as you requested, it's being distributed to deputy company commanders and deputy section commanders. However, we're running out of copies, so we're printing more. What do you think about this?"

"Once we have all of these people, the next step is to sell them to the market. We're just making the initial investment; we don't need anything else."

"After all, this is just my travelogue, and the dangers I encountered outside. Everyone should learn from it, especially when they are out in the world, and pay attention to their own safety."

Who would have thought that his trip to Europe would nearly cost him his life?

Behind all of this, it was the Japanese who were up to something, and they hated him to death.

He didn't care whether they colluded with local gangs or came out alone to hunt him down. The other party was already dead anyway.

"By the way, Lao Zhao, Lao Zuo, you still need to worry about things in Subei. It's not that I don't want to be here, but they're keeping an eye on me over there."

"Young Master, are you really leaving?"

"I also want to stay, but it's not the right time yet. After a while, when we're almost ready, we can take action."

"How much time do we have left?!"

"Let's see when the time comes. After all, it's not something you or I can decide, really."

"What time?"

"Regarding the general situation of the Pacific War, if the international situation is favorable, then it will be time for us to launch a major counterattack against the Japanese."

"Okay, I see."

Upon hearing this, the two understood that they could only take real action when the international situation became clearer; otherwise, it would all be empty talk.

"Young master, will the Japanese be defeated?"

"Will!"

"But are things in northern Jiangsu starting to falter?"

"what happened again?"

"There's too much population, and we're running out of food!"

"It's food again, it's food again, damn food! I don't have any good solutions here, I can only cut back on spending. As for increasing income, you'll have to figure that out yourselves. I'm not a god, I can't help with everything, understand?" "If three meals a day aren't enough, then two meals a day will do. Even if it's really difficult, one thin meal a day will do. Can it be any more difficult than the life we ​​used to live?"

"Damn it, at first we might not even be able to eat one meal a day. Now that life is better, we want even better, right!"

He glared at the two of them, then said with a serious expression, "This time, you will address the entire army, while the government will address the entire population. We will increase the propaganda efforts to show that wasting food is shameful, and anyone caught wasting food will be forced to do voluntary labor starting from the New Year. The more food wasted, the harsher the punishment."

"Now it is wartime, and everyone must obey the needs of the war. Reduce everyone's food rations, and even military rations can be appropriately reduced when necessary. We must all take the lead and set an example, understand?"

"Are we really going to reduce dormitory rations?"

Old Zuo was also taken aback. After all, if the rations were too small, the people below would have complaints. This was not a good thing, as many people might not have enough to eat.

“This must be done. Of course, if he is capable enough to find his own food, then it cannot be illegal.”

"Yes!"

"How much should we reduce our rations for the first time?"

At this moment, Zuo Mingming, who was standing to the side, also asked a question out of the blue.

"Everyone is rationed at 30%. As long as you don't starve, that's good enough. What time is it now? Nobody cares about these things. If you don't want to, you can leave the northern Jiangsu region. We can't support so many people here. I'm sure you all know that."

"Young Master, are you trying to force these people to leave?"

"No, it's not about forcing them to leave, but about teaching them a lesson, understand?"

"They've only enjoyed a few good days, yet they're already thinking about wasting food, or they don't care about food at all, hoarding and hoarding it. That's exactly what I, Zhang Tianhao, am good-natured for!"

"Furthermore, investigate the entire northern Jiangsu region. Make sure you find out. The hoarding and hoarding of grain is absolutely forbidden in northern Jiangsu. If it happens, all of it will be confiscated."

"If a family has the ability to obtain grain, they can be allowed to store double the amount of grain they have for a year. Any excess can be sold to the government. If they do not wish to do so, the grain can be confiscated or enforced."

Upon hearing Zhang Tianhao's request, the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief. After all, this was the first time they had ever seen such a thing.

Everyone does it this way, including the headquarters; it's natural, and nobody can say anything about it.

"However, this policy does not apply to everyone. Senior technical personnel, senior doctors, and other highly skilled individuals can all purchase food according to normal rations. Everyone else, including myself, is not eligible."

"A one-size-fits-all approach?"

"Yes, a one-size-fits-all approach, everyone is treated the same. I don't believe it. If it's okay for me, why can't others? Besides, as I said, as long as the grain is bought from outside, not from northern Jiangsu, it can be kept, but at most, a family can have double the amount of grain for a year. The rest must be sold to the government, which will buy it at a reasonable price. They will definitely not be taken advantage of."

"it is good!"

Seeing that Zhang Tianhao had basically finalized the allocation and distribution of talent, the next step was to focus on getting the job done.

The three of them had a serious discussion here, and it could even be said that the policy issues for next year were further discussed and are prepared to be promoted next year.

The entire northern Jiangsu region is now just an empty shell, but the framework has already been established; all that's needed is to keep filling it in.

"By the way, young master, where are you planning to go after the New Year? What are your specific plans?"

"I'm going to Shanghai to work at a church hospital. Also, arrange for Number One and Number Two to go out and visit other places occasionally, otherwise my identity might be noticed by people in Chongqing."

"You mean..."

"Yes, I plan to work in Shanghai."

"What about us?"

"Sigh, I'd like to too, but the timing isn't right. However, I usually come back once a week, generally on Saturday night and return to Shanghai on Sunday night." (End of Chapter)
