Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

wedding harvest

Three hours later, the sky outside was completely dark. After an afternoon of "fighting", Li Guosheng and Lan Ruoxin had to walk out of the office because they were too hungry, and appeared in front of everyone... >

Lan Ruoxin, who was still blushing and staggered a little when she walked, just walked out of the office.The dozen or so guards who had been guarding outside the office, tormenting them, cast ambiguous glances at the two of them.What's more, as Li Guosheng's personal bodyguard, the squad leader who knew Li Guosheng's "character" actually asked Li Guosheng with a smile on his face.

"Military seat, brothers have guarded you for several hours, when will you have your wedding wine...>

"It's coming soon, tell the brothers, when the time comes, the whole army, everyone will have a share... >

Then, with a blushing Lan Ruoxin, she quickly walked out of the military headquarters and walked to her own residence next to the military headquarters.

In this way, the news that Li Guosheng, the commander of the Ninth Army and the "Chairman" of the Ludong Special Zone, was about to get married, spread like a gust of wind in Weixian County.Then, gradually expand to the entire Ludong Special Zone...>

Two days later, in Li Guosheng's office of the Ninth Army, he watched Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and Deputy Army Commander Li Guanghua jointly report their wedding plan.Even Li Guosheng from later generations.After seeing this huge plan.I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Because, the planning plan in hand is enough to compare with the plans of some coal bosses in the future to marry their children... >

Not only did he invite all the businessmen and gentry in the entire Ludong Special Zone who could stand on the table, but he also sent out invitations to all forces in the country, inviting these warlords big and small to come to his wedding...>

At the same time, in order to make this wedding truly a grand ceremony for the entire Ludong.During Li Guosheng's wedding, in addition to the necessary troops, the whole army held a three-day conference meal.At the same time, all troops will be distributed in units of two oceans of red envelopes per person.certainly.Not only the various combat units under the Ninth Army, but also all the local administrative personnel, each will have a red envelope that is also two oceans... >

Looking at the plan in his hand, Li Guosheng was shocked.He asked directly, "Chief of Staff, is it necessary to make such a grand ceremony just for a wedding...>

"Military seat, lowly position probably do a simple calculation. All the wedding expenses, including the red envelopes distributed to all officers, soldiers and administrative staff, will cost a total of 20 oceans... >

"So much... no, I don't agree. This money is the money of our entire Ludong Special Zone, and it must not be spent on me alone. Chief of Staff, Lao Li. I don't agree with this plan... >

However, at this moment.What Li Guosheng didn't expect was that a sly smile had unconsciously appeared on Li Guanghua's face.Facing Li Guosheng, he said without reservation: "Military seat, don't worry, as the saying goes 'the wool grows on the sheep'. I assure you that for your wedding, not only will the military department and the entire special zone not Spend a penny and get a really big payoff... >

Seeing Li Guosheng who was puzzled, Li Guanghua did not immediately explain, but continued to say: "Not only that, we can also distribute red envelopes to the whole army through this operation. It will greatly improve the morale of our Ninth Army. Let the whole army support the military seat more. Support our four counties in eastern Shandong...>

"Old Li, the more you talk, the more confused I become... >

"Sir, you forgot, who are we going to invite for your wedding...>

Having said that, if Li Guosheng still can't understand the chill in it, he will live two lives in vain.It must be clear that this method, even in later generations, is the most direct method used by various corrupt officials to amass money.

However, what Li Guosheng didn't expect was that.Now this way of collecting money has actually been used on himself.However, when he thought that all the wealthy gentry and businessmen who came to give gifts, the little worry in Li Guosheng's heart disappeared without a trace...>

However, seeing that the plan also invited the top and bottom ranks of the major forces and warlords across the country, a look of "doubt" appeared on his face again, and he asked.

"Chief of Staff, Lao Li, there is no need to invite these people just for a wedding... >

Facing this question, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili said: "Military seat, invite these local forces, warlords, and even Lao Jiang to come to your wedding. The gift money they brought is not our ultimate goal?"

"Then what is your purpose?" Li Guosheng asked in confusion. [

"Military deterrence...>

"Okay...>

After a short period of contemplation, there was no further hesitation.Directly facing the two partners, he ordered.

"In that case, chief of staff, Lao Li, I will leave this matter to you, I only want the final result... >

In less than a few days, Li Guosheng, the "chairman" of the Ludong Special Zone, will be on August [-]th.That is the news of the wedding on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.Like a blockbuster, it spread rapidly across the vast land of China.

Gaomi County, as one of the first few counties controlled by Li Guosheng in Shandong, has 10,000+ people in the entire county.Undoubtedly the first to benefit from land reform... >

As soon as the news that Li Guosheng was going to get married spread, the people in the entire Gaomi territory began to erupt.In the eyes of these common people, everyone must show some respect for their benefactor's upcoming wedding... >

Ever since, there are 10,000+ people in Gaomi County.Directly and spontaneously, with the village and town as the unit, they began to prepare congratulatory gifts for Li Guosheng's upcoming wedding, expressing everyone's gratitude to Li Guosheng...>

The big and small businessmen scattered all over the Ludong Special Zone are also not idle... >

Since Li Guosheng canceled all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the entire special zone, and the army's orders for various military supplies, they have all been handed over to these people for production.In the entire Ludong District, at least [-] large and small factories have benefited from this.

More importantly, with the commissioning of large factories such as the Ludong Iron and Steel Plant, the Ludong Automobile Plant, and the Ludong Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.There are countless businessmen, big and small, who have benefited from this.It can be said with certainty that the commercial development of the entire Ludong Special Zone will follow this wave and set off a new climax...>

Business in the SAR has grown.Coupled with the clear investment environment, it directly means that the capital of merchants in eastern Shandong will become stronger and stronger.All kinds of factories will also be established like mushrooms after rain.Therefore, ever since the development of the "government" of the special zone reached its "climax", the faces of businessmen in the entire Ludong special zone have been shrouded in smiles.

Of course, all of this boils down to Li Guosheng...>

Without Li Guosheng, these businessmen would not have the income they have today.Without Li Guosheng, there would be no development for them today, nor would they have a higher and higher status in the future... >

Therefore, as soon as the news of Li Guosheng's upcoming wedding spread, these shrewd businessmen began to be moved.He wanted to pass Li Guosheng's wedding to attract the attention of the "government" of the SAR, and even the "Chairman" of the SAR.In the new year, we will get more orders for supplies from the "government" of the special zone, and even the army.

And to attract the attention of the "government" at the wedding, there is only one way for these powerless businessmen, and that is to present a sufficiently substantial gift at the wedding.With a huge congratulatory gift in one fell swoop, it attracted the attention of the "government" of the special zone and the "chairman" of Li Guosheng.

A generous gift is definitely a breeze for these wealthy businessmen.One after another, the invitation cards had just been handed out to the merchants in the Shandong Special Zone, and carts filled with various congratulatory gifts, even silver dollars and gold, began to move towards the location of Weixian County in a steady stream.

The news that Li Guosheng, the youngest lieutenant general in the Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, is about to hold a wedding, caused waves in the Ludong Special Zone, and also caused a huge wave in the military and political systems across the country.

To be clear, the current Li Guosheng is not a stunned young man who could be bullied a year ago, but a powerful Chinese figure who holds tens of thousands of soldiers and controls the life and death of tens of millions of ordinary people in almost half of Shandong Province.

Looking at the whole country, even Chiang Kai-shek, who had just been elected as the "Chairman" of the Nationalist Government, would give him a bad face, not to mention the warlords of all sizes who also hold heavy troops in all parts of the country.

Li Guosheng's invitation has just been sent to these people, in order to better understand these newly rising forces, and also to get a feel for the details of Li Guosheng, the commander of the Ninth Army who dared to fight even the Japanese army.Regardless of face, they dispatched their confidantes one after another, bringing a lot of congratulatory gifts, and prepared to go to Weixian County in the east of Ludong to congratulate.

Not only that, the German "government" and the American "government" who had done business with Li Guosheng's Ninth Army, in order to better maintain the relationship between the two.In the name of the company stationed in Qingdao respectively.A valuable congratulatory gift was sent to Li Guosheng...>

The wedding was under the expectation of all soldiers and civilians in the entire Ludong Special Zone.held with grandeur.Because it was hosted by Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and Deputy Army Commander Li Guanghua.The whole wedding process, as the protagonist Li Guosheng, can be described as very relaxed.

Of course, at this grand wedding, as the protagonist Li Guosheng, besides marrying a beautiful wife, he also saw many outstanding people in this world who have already made their mark, or who have not yet fully made their mark .

The next day, when the people who came to the wedding began to leave Wei County one after another.Li Guosheng, who went through a romantic night.Also in the military office, he saw Jiang Baili and Li Guanghua who had been waiting for him to arrive with a spring breeze.

"Congratulations, Junzuo...we have achieved many unexpected results in this wedding...>

"First of all, the first thing I want to congratulate is: Our military seat finally has a wife. And she is the most beautiful and temperamental Dean Lan in the whole army...>

"Chief of staff, Lao Li, I accept your congratulations... Next, should we talk about business... >

According to the deployment in advance, the troops we arranged in the predetermined military camps, whether it is the murderous aura and combat effectiveness displayed by the troops, or the existing equipment and heavy firepower of the troops, have severely shocked the surrounding military forces. power...>

"Judging from the expressions on the faces of these representatives during the visit, the low position can be guaranteed: within a certain period of time, at least two years, and at most three or four years. The forces located in the surrounding areas of our Ludong Special Zone, if they have not developed their own Before my strong military strength, I would never dare to use weapons against my Ludong Special Zone... >

"Okay...well done...>

"Military seat, I believe in you...>

Of course, at this moment, Li Guosheng, who was still immersed in the joy of his newlyweds, did not notice the change in the heart of Chief of Staff Jiang Baili in front of him.Continue to ask.

"Chief of staff, Lao Li, apart from this accident, I am also concerned about one thing, that is, how much gift money we have recovered from this wedding, and whether we have recovered the huge investment. Be clear, regarding this matter, you The two made promises to me before the wedding... >
