Fengxian Jiangshan

In order to resettle all the victims, Zhang Tinglan borrowed 150 million yuan from the Fengtian Official Bank. Of course, the money was not invested all at once. In fact, it only costs about half of the cost, and the capital can be returned when the harvest is next year. Calculated, the actual investment is about 100 million oceans.

Of course, this is more than twice as expensive as the disaster relief method of She Porridge, but it can produce more than ten times the effect.The dead are reduced to the lowest point, and these ordinary people can resume production as soon as possible. Moreover, after five years, Zhang Tinglan is not going to let the victims of the disaster become a mess after they get the land. In that case, if there is another disaster, they may become refugees. .

He hoped to take this opportunity to set up a group of collective farms to completely turn the disaster victims into agricultural workers, which would serve as a model for the development of Fengtian as a whole.Wang Yongjiang also agreed with this idea very much. They have been discussing these issues for the past two days. Wang Yongjiang summed up the experience of disaster relief and formed a report. In the future, if there is a disaster, other regions can also be used as a reference.

As a large number of nests were built, the victims finally had a place to live, and Zhang Tinglan felt a little more relaxed.At this time, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram, and on December 12, Yuan Shikai officially announced his acceptance of the imperial system!

"Hey, Yuan Shikai has come this far. The cliff is right in front of him, why can't he see through it!" After Wang Yongjiang got the news, he immediately sighed: "From then on, it will be troublesome. "

Wang Yongjiang saw very clearly that none of the warlords in various places was willing to be a slave again. Without the support of these powerful factions, Lao Yuan wanted to become emperor, it was simply wishful thinking, and not only could he not save the country.On the contrary, it will drag China into a place beyond redemption.

"Mr. Tie Kan, it is a great misfortune for China that Yuan Shikai has come to this point, but it is an opportunity for Fengtian, and we must not miss it."

"It's too early to say that. You'd better not encourage Zhang Yuting to do something stupid." Wang Yongjiang knew Zhang Tinglan's audacity since the carjacking case. Wang Yongjiang was even a little scared.

"Fengtian's army has not yet been unified. There is still Duan Zhigui at the top. If these troubles are not resolved, there is no way to control Fengtian. Judging from Zhang Yuting's current strength, he is just a party of princes. He is not qualified to be a leader."

"Mr. Tie Kan is not wrong at all. It is true that you can't take risks. You should act steadily. For the time being, wait and see what happens."

Whether it is Wang Yongjiang or Zhang Tinglan, they are all important confidantes of Lao Zhang. Now that such a big incident has happened, they must go back to Fengtian to discuss with Lao Zhang as soon as possible. The matter of Liaoyang is temporarily handed over to other people.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was preparing to return to Fengtian.Chu Mingyuan found him suddenly.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to stay in Liaoyang and do something to help the victims. After the spring of next year. I also want to participate in reclamation."

"Student Chu, don't look at me expulsing your student status. You can still go to other schools to continue your studies. With your ability, it is not a problem to be admitted to a university. I am afraid that talents will be buried here."

"No!" Chu Mingyuan shook his head firmly: "I used to want to go to college, but after seeing Huang Guan's face, I despised these college students, and I was afraid that one day I would have no conscience like them!"

During this period of time, in addition to organizing the disaster victims to rescue themselves, several landlords who were extremely angry were also dealt with, the most important of which was the Huang family.After some investigation, it was found that the Huang family had a lot of evidence of crimes. In addition to collecting land rent, they also lent a lot of usury.

Before paying usury, the Huang family robbed everything they could, even the women. Either they robbed the Huang family as concubines, or sold them to traffickers. In three years, seven or eight families were forced to die. The family is broken.In addition, the Huang family also kept a large number of thugs, and secretly hid hundreds of guns, which were all they relied on for their crimes.

After finding out these things, the old and new accounts were settled together, all the property of the Huang family was confiscated, and Huang Guan's father and elder brother were all sentenced to death.Letters between Huang Guan and his family were also found, confirming that he was charged with inciting student demonstrations. He was sentenced to five years in prison and sent to prison.

Several other big households who committed many crimes were also punished one after another. In addition to the big households, Wang Yongjiang also cleaned up all the officials in Liaoyang, and took down all those responsible for the civil uprising.

"It's not wrong to read more books and understand more principles. What's wrong is that a few pious scholars want to monopolize knowledge and monopolize the right to speak. They only think about the interests of their own small circle and forget about this country. Fengtian will also vigorously develop education in the future. Let all young people be able to study and learn, even the descendants of these disaster victims."

"Mr. Zhang, can you do what you said?"

"Certainly not for the time being, but there will always be hope in the future. Take these disaster victims as an example. What lies ahead is an opportunity. They can find a way to get rich during this period, and they will be able to send their children to school in the future."

"Mr. Zhang, if you say that, I want to stay here even more, and see how these disaster victims have become prosperous from nothing. I also want to do my best to help them, maybe they are also helping me!"

Zhang Tinglan is very happy to see such a young man who is not afraid of hardship and can sympathize with the common people.

"I agree, and I can also appoint you to be a deputy team leader, but you must make achievements, let your team take the lead in repaying the loan, and find a way to get rich."

"Mr. Zhang, I can definitely do it!" Chu Mingyuan replied confidently.

Zhang Tinglan explained the matter at hand clearly, and returned to Fengtian with Wang Yongjiang, and went directly to the Marshal's Mansion. They were all regular visitors here, and they came to the Tiger Hall directly without notification.

"My mother, I have lived most of my life, and I still want to be a son for others. This Yuan Datou is really not a thing." Zhang Tinglan heard Zhang Zuolin's laughing and scolding voice from a long distance away. Zhang Tinglan came to the Tiger Hall to see that Zhang Zuolin had already He took off the lieutenant general's military uniform and put on a robe and hat.

"Seventh uncle, your clothes are really nice, especially the big pancake embroidered on the chest, it makes me want to look at it."

When Zhang Zuolin saw that Zhang Tinglan and the others had returned, he also showed a smile on his face, and pointed to the official uniform on his body: "Did you see it? The official uniform just issued by Emperor Yuan Da. Second-class viscount, when will we give him Yuan Datou?" Being a son is still second-class, what a bad luck."

Zhang Tinglan didn't say much, what kind of thing is a viscount, Lao Zhang knew clearly in his heart that he was dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai because he pretended to be stupid.

"Seventh Lord, don't be angry if you ask me, this thing won't last long. I heard news from Beijing that Cai E, the governor of Yunnan who was imprisoned in Beijing by Lao Yuan, has run away, and he probably returned to Yunnan to summon the old department. , Maybe at some point, the flag of rebellion will be raised."

"Yunnan?" Lao Zhang said with some doubts: "Yunnan is in the south. It's a bit too far away, and it's very poor. Do you have the capital to raise an army against Yuan?"

"I don't care if I have capital or not. As long as I have a banner." Wang Yongjiang said from the side: "Marshal, to tell you the truth, do you admire Yuan Shikai?"

Lao Zhang shook his head: "Although I don't understand what a republic is, I always know that if it is a republic, we all have the opportunity to climb up to the president's addiction. If Yuan Shikai becomes the emperor, we will have no chance. .”

"I'm afraid that all the princes of the world think so, so as long as someone takes the lead, people's hearts will disperse. Veteran generals in Beiyang and veterans who lean towards the revolutionary party in the south will all jump out, thus forming a powerful anti-Yuan wave. , Yuan Shikai's emperor won't last long!"

Zhang Zuolin nodded frequently: "Then what should we do next?"

"Seventh Lord, please take Duan Zhigui away first, with such a great god on his head, we can't do things as we like."

"Well, do you have any ghost ideas?"

"You already have an idea, why ask me."

"Isn't it okay to test your ability? If you can't guess, I will punish you and give your war horse to the seventh uncle."

Just a few days ago, Wu Junsheng arranged for someone to send Liu Guang to Fengtian. The appearance of this war horse immediately caused a sensation. Like the legendary Pegasus.

The proud Liu Guang is like an emperor, he doesn't care about these ordinary people at all, but these people are obsessed with this war horse that seems to come out of legends, some journalists with good deeds even took pictures of Liu Guang and put them in the newspaper Above, it was said that a Pegasus horse appeared on the streets of Fengtian.

Lao Zhang was born as a horse bandit, and his riding skills are also very good. After seeing the news, he was also salivating. He had never seen such a majestic war horse, and even wanted to keep it for himself.But after inquiring, I found out that this war horse belonged to Zhang Tinglan, and Lao Zhang was also dumbfounded, he couldn't compete with his nephew.

However, Lao Zhang did not give up. When Zhang Tinglan heard that Lao Zhang was drooling, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "You don't want to play Liu Guang anymore. I guessed it a long time ago. Didn't you let Uncle Feng Take the initiative to expel Duan Zhigui, and recommend him to be the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces in the future! I think you can implement this plan now, Lao Yuan becomes the emperor, and his godson must show filial piety, and just ask Duan Zhigui to send money to Yuan Shikai."

"Duan Zhigui doesn't have much money right now!" Old Zhang had already emptied Duan Zhigui and left him nothing, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he also thought of Zhang Tinglan's wishful thinking: "You are forcing Duan Zhigui Use military pay."

"That's right, Duan Zhigui only has the military pay from Yuan Shikai left in his hands. You offered to ask for less from the 27th Division and the Independent Brigade, and give them to the President first. Duan Zhigui will most likely withhold the 28th Division as well. It's enough for Feng Delin to expel Duan Zhigui in the name of making money!"

Lao Zhang nodded in relief: "Okay, you have saved the horse for the time being. If you fail to do things well in the future, I will confiscate it as well!"

Although the plan was drawn up, Zhang Zuolin also knew that he must not be the first bird, and had to wait for the opportunity quietly. Fengtian fell into a strange silence.

However, Zhang Zuoxiang's house is full of chickens and dogs jumping over the wall. Since Liu Guang came to the house, everyone in the family has set their sights on this magnificent horse. However, Mr. Liu Guang has a big temper. If things didn’t go his way, he became furious, and he kicked and injured two or three feeders. Zhang Zuoxiang’s wives wanted to take a look, but they were almost bitten by Liu Guang. From then on, everyone knew that this horse was not easy to mess with. They all hid far away.

However, Zhang Tinglan, the master, can't avoid it, and has to take the initiative to send the best forage. Liu Guang barely has a conscience, and treats Zhang Tinglan well. Although he occasionally plays petty temper, he is generally obedient. Let Zhang Tinglan ride on the horse for a while, but don't expect it to take a step.

"I also know that the place in the mansion is a bit small. After a while, I will buy a manor outside, and then you can play in it casually, run around and do whatever you want."

Liu Guang seemed to understand Zhang Tinglan's words, his eyes were a little different, and he took the initiative to rub Zhang Tinglan with his big head.

After staying with Liu Guang for a few days, the relationship with Liu Guang rose sharply. At this time, Cai E sent a telegram in Yunnan, announcing the independence of Yunnan. One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the land of China was shaken. Zhang Tinglan had been waiting for the turning point also arrived. (To be continued..)
