Fengxian Jiangshan

Wang Yongjiang's views coincided with Zhang Tinglan's. Don't look at Zhang Tinglan's tossing around during this time, but the effect was limited. He only made Lao Zhang a little more financially. The business of Fengjun Provincial City has achieved great development, and the law and order are also good. up.But other areas have not been affected yet, and Fengtian still wears the hat of poverty and backwardness.

"Since ancient times, there are no more than two means of financial management, one is to increase income, and the other is to reduce expenditure. I think that at present, we should focus on increasing income and supplementing it by reducing expenditure. The so-called open source is to expand new sources of income. This new source of income is divided into two The first is farmers' rent and tax. I suggest that the land be cleared immediately, and all the land hidden by the landlords be found out. Let them all pay taxes. The second is industrial and commercial taxation, which is also the area with the greatest growth potential in Fengtian in the future."

Speaking of this, Wang Yongjiang's eyes glanced at Zhang Tinglan inadvertently. After being in contact with her for so long, Wang Yongjiang is also very clear about some of Zhang Tinglan's secrets.Take the North Market as an example, how much tax has flowed into Zhang Tinglan's pocket.Wang Yongjiang has an account in his heart.It turned out that it was to evade Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui.Now it is Zhang Zuolin's turn to take charge of Fengtian, these rules must be changed, and the taxation power of the North Market will be handed over to the Fengtian government.

This is undoubtedly cutting flesh, but Zhang Tinglan has long been prepared. He has planned the North Market by himself, and has already taken the most profitable land in his hands.Then he took control of finance, both of which were inconspicuous and profitable, and Zhang Tinglan didn't care so much about taxes long ago.It is a good opportunity to hand it over now.

Seeing Zhang Tinglan's calm and breezy appearance, Wang Yongjiang also secretly admired him. This young man is really not simple.Wang Yongjiang continued: "The land is dead, and what can be collected is limited after all. The industrial and commercial development is huge, and it will be the main source of income in the future, so it must be carefully protected. First of all, we must rectify the administration of officials to prevent officials from extorting at will. In addition, rogues, There are also soldiers and ruffians, and they must be dealt with!"

When it comes to the word "soldier ruffian", Wang Yongjiang deliberately paused, and the hearts of everyone present were also moved.Zhang Tinglan had already rectified law and order, but Zhang Tinglan had no ability to deal with the malignant tumor of soldiers, so he just restrained it as much as possible.

The first time Wang Yongjiang spoke in front of everyone, he brought up the issue of the soldiers. most.

To rectify the soldiers, there is no doubt that they took the knife there. Even Sun Liechen's face is not very good. Fengjun was originally a bandit, and the military discipline was lax. Many soldiers played the role of gang bosses and blackmailed everywhere. Although the important income is unreasonable, it has existed for many years. If it is really cut off, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

"Let me say a few words about the soldiers." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to take over the conversation: "In the past, we didn't have any money, and we couldn't let the brothers starve to death. I just opened my eyes for some extra money. Turn one eye and close one eye. Now that the funds are sufficient, everyone is not short of food and drink, and the military salary is not in arrears, if there is more trouble, it will not be appropriate!"

Ever since Wang Yongjiang raised the question of the soldiers, Zhang Tinglan had been stealing eyes on Zhang Zuolin's expression.It stands to reason that Zhang Zuolin had just taken power, so he shouldn't have brought up such a sensitive topic, but Lao Zhang did the opposite, there must be something in it.

"Yuting, it's not easy for brothers to fight desperately. I don't think there are so many restrictions. Let everyone have a little freedom!" Zhang Jinghui spoke first.

Who knew that Zhang Zuolin shook his head: "Without rules, you can't make a circle. During this time, I am drawing up a pension standard. In the future, if brothers are injured or even die in battle, they will be given enough pensions for their families, so that brothers will not have to worry about it." .My old Zhang has made it this far, and they have to be worthy of the money. If anyone dares to ignore military discipline and disturb the place wantonly, I will not be polite!"

Zhang Zuolin stood by Wang Yongjiang's side without hesitation, which made the atmosphere in the Tiger Hall a little depressing. Wang Yongjiang then gave a lot of development opinions, but everyone was not in the mood to listen.

The meeting ended with great difficulty, and they all walked out dejectedly, but Zhang Tinglan took a few steps and called to Sun Liechen to stop.

"Sixth uncle, a few days ago I asked a friend in Beijing to help me get in touch. He helped me buy a batch of Jiutian Gongjiao, which is specially used to treat the deficiency of Qi and blood. I heard that Miss Xianrui is weak, so I just gave her a supplement. , In addition, I also asked for a few prescriptions for diet therapy, but I don’t know if it will work or not?”

Chapter 1 Thirteen Military Talents

The medical conditions at this time are far from being comparable to those of later generations. Women’s childbirth is a life-and-death barrier. The life and death of children are hanging by a thread. Dystocia and death abound.

Zhang Zuolin's original wife, Mrs. Zhao, Zhang Xueliang's mother, died early.The same is true of Zhang Zuoxiang's original partner. Zhang Tinglan has never seen her biological mother in this time and space.The same was true for Sun Liechen's first wife, but he was even worse, and had no children left behind.

Later, Sun Liechen had several marriages and gave birth to a son, but he died prematurely.Sun Liechen has only one daughter, named Sun Xianrui, who is three years younger than Zhang Tinglan, and is regarded by Sun Liechen as the apple of his eye.But the little girl is in very bad health, she is basically a replica of Sister Lin.

Zhang Tinglan has only seen her once during this period of time. Sun Xianrui has a pale face and thin cheeks, but his beautiful eyes are very agile, and he looks very pitiful.Sun Liechen also invited a lot of doctors. These people basically thought it was a disease of Qi and blood deficiency, and prescribed some tonic prescriptions, but the results were not good.

According to Zhang Tinglan's observation, most of Sun Xianrui's symptoms are anemia and physical weakness. He can take some donkey-hide gelatin and diet to improve the symptoms. Sometimes it was regarded as a tribute.

Zhang Tinglan bought a batch in Beijing, then consulted several doctors, and drew up a list of diet, nothing more than eating some red dates, ginseng, brown sugar, pig blood, etc., and gave them to Sun Liechen.

After Sun Liechen took these things, he was also a little moved. His daughter was his lifeline, but she had been ill for many years, which made Sun Liechen very worried.

"Ting Lan. You have a heart, and I thank you on behalf of Xianrui!"

"Six uncles, they are all from our own family, don't we all hope that sister Xianrui will get better? Besides, I think most of the illnesses are related to mentality. You might as well arrange a school for the girl, get in touch with more outsiders, and learn more , the mood is comfortable, and it is also good for the body!"

"I'm a dereliction of duty as a father. I'm busy every day. I don't have time to take care of the girl. I'm ashamed!"

"Sixth brother, don't talk about this, we are all the same, Ting Lan and I will go to your house and have a chat. There is still something we want to talk about."

"Welcome, welcome!"

Sun Liechen is not stupid, Zhang and his son are looking for him.Mostly it has something to do with what happened today.He also wanted to test Zhang Zuoxiang's attitude.He knew Zhang Zuolin's character very well, and once he made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it. Lao Zhang released his intention to rectify the army, which proved that this matter was inevitable, but the matter of the army involved Sun Liechen's vital interests.Can not be careless.

They soon arrived at Sun Liechen's house. Sun Liechen called out his daughter Sun Xianrui and thanked Zhang Tinglan for the gift. The little girl is thirteen or fourteen years old.However, he is thin and thin, and looks like he is only in his early ten years old, and he is a little timid when he sees outsiders.

Zhang Tinglan introduced her how to take donkey-hide gelatin, and then told her the key to diet therapy, being very careful, but Zhang Tinglan didn't have any extravagant ideas, and this bean sprouts didn't arouse his interest.What Zhang Tinglan really cared about was Sun Liechen. In the entire Feng Clan, there were not many talents who could stand on their own. Sun Liechen was the best, even more capable than Zhang Zuoxiang.

However, Sun Liechen died relatively early, which is also one of the reasons for the imbalance of factions within the Feng Clan. If Sun Liechen was suppressing, the struggle between the old and new factions might not be so tragic.Of course, what Zhang Tinglan hopes more is to reach some kind of tacit agreement with Sun Liechen, so that they can advance and retreat together in the future, and form a strong alliance in the Feng Clan.

After saying a few words, Sun Xianrui was dismissed by Sun Liechen, and then Sun Liechen said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Fuchen, we Ming people don't talk dark words, what do you think of today's events?"

"Sixth brother, in the past, I would definitely object. The old brothers followed us through life and death. Now it is right to let them collect some money. But this time I met the Japanese soldiers and found that the gap between us is too big. In this way It’s definitely not going to work, I also discussed it with Ting Lan, and I think Fengjun should reorganize the army and practice martial arts, and can’t use the bandits anymore.”

Sun Liechen frowned, sighed and said, "You really did the carjacking?"

"That's right, the matter is too important. Only those involved know. After the war, we made a summary and handed it over to Yuting. Maybe this thing touched him and made Yuting decide to rectify the army!"

"Fuchen, you guys are so courageous, it almost turned into a war between China and Japan!"

"Sixth uncle, it's my fault too, I didn't think carefully enough!"

"I knew it was your kid's idea. Yuting is not as courageous as you." Sun Liechen said with a smile: "But now the troubles are gone, and Yuting has been promoted. Although the risk is great, the reward is even more amazing."

Sun Liechen thought for a while and asked again: "Is the gap really that big?"

"It's a world of difference. Six hundred of our elite soldiers, with ten heavy machine guns, went to ambush two hundred Japanese soldiers equipped with rifles. As a result, nearly fifty of us died, and nearly 50 were wounded. If we put In the field battle, the Japanese are well-equipped, and 100 of them can fight at least 200 of us, so it’s not bad if we can fight with one division and one unit!”

Sun Liechen frowned, obviously shocked by the result, "Is it time for this army to be reorganized? I thought that if I occupied Fengtian, it would be considered a success, and I should enjoy it!"

"Sixth uncle, let me say a few words. Today is a good day for the seventh uncle to be promoted, but instead of celebrating, he asked Wang Yongjiang to talk about governing the region and even raise the issue of the army. I think this shows that the seventh uncle One Fengtian cannot satisfy his appetite, even the entire three eastern provinces may not be enough. Our Fengjun still has great development, if there is no strong army, everything is delusional, and the whole army is an unchangeable thing.”

"I know that too, but there are some things that are hard to return to. They are all old brothers, and it is difficult for me to do it!"

"My nephew has an idea." Zhang Tinglan said, "I'm going to set up a military welfare company, deduct a little from the military pay of the brothers as capital, and then raise part from other places. Then this company will be responsible for investment. After making money, Give dividends to the brothers. In the future, there will be wounded soldiers, and the brothers will be given priority to serve in this company when they are too old to continue serving in the army.”

When Sun Liechen heard this suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up. The biggest obstacle to rectifying the army was overthrowing some people's jobs. If Zhang Tinglan's method can be used to make up for it with this welfare company, it might really work.

"Ting Lan, there is a business where you can make money without losing money. Can this investment company really work?"

"Any transaction has risks, but we have the power in our hands, and we can use it to protect the company. I thought about it, and the focus of this welfare company's investment is real estate. Fengtian's business is developing faster and faster, and the population is also increasing. , the real estate industry will definitely become popular. In addition, I have another idea, which is to let the welfare company monopolize Fengtian’s opium trade, which is very profitable, and can further extract morphine, which is full of huge profits.”

Zhang Tinglan's words completely moved Sun Liechen. These two sources of income are very good. Real estate construction is also good for the development of Fengtian City, and it also requires a lot of labor. If soldiers can't mix in the army, at least they can be contractors Can eat and drink without worrying.

"Sixth uncle, getting drugs is a utterly unconscionable thing, but the governors everywhere are like this. They all point to this thing to get rich, and we can't be exempt. But I don't want to just focus on the Chinese people, and foreigners smoke opium. Take Russia as an example, the people are struggling to live, and the people are under a lot of pressure, smoking some opium is a way to relax, and Japan and North Korea are also like this, let's find a way to smuggle them to them!"

"You kid has too many tricks, but don't play with fire, if you let the big powers come to make trouble again, I won't agree!"

Although Sun Liechen said so, it was obvious that he had agreed to the plan, and Zhang Zuoxiang on the side also said: "Sixth brother, I gave those bastards a benefit. If they don't know how to love themselves, it's military discipline. Just kill the killer."

"I understand that it is Tang Dahu who should be worried now. His troops are the deepest. Not only some shops, but he also runs a lot of opium businesses. I'm afraid he won't let go!"

Tang Yulin was the number one officer under Zhang Zuolin in the past, but now the two are drifting apart. The main problem is that Lao Tang can't keep up with the times. Zhang Zuolin is going to be the king of the Northeast, but Tang Yulin only focuses on his own interests. The long-term development of Fengjun was not considered.

A group is like this in the process of advancing, constantly incorporating new blood, and constantly weeding out those who can't keep up with the trend. For this situation, Zhang Tinglan has nothing to do. As long as they are smart people, they will know how to choose. As for A fool can only let the times abandon him.

After talking with Sun Liechen about the company's affairs in detail, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan left.Now Zhang Tinglan also has a lot of things at hand, besides training recruits, he also needs to guide Fengtian's business development, deploy a plunder plan against Russia, and now he has to prepare this welfare company, in short, he is very busy.

At this time, Kuang Rongguang suddenly came to visit him: "Zhuoyan, I have been in Fengtian for a long time, but I have not done anything, and I have become a freelancer. I am very disturbed!"

"Mr. Kuang, please don't say that. It's all my negligence. Originally, I wanted to set up a mining college as soon as possible, train some students, and then inspect Fengtian's minerals. After getting busy, I didn't have time to make preparations." !"

"I know that Fengtian hasn't stopped during this period of time, but now that Zhang Yuting has become the governor, the troubles are almost over, and there will be opportunities in the next step. I came here this time to recommend two talents to you. One is One is studying chemical engineering, the other is studying weapons, and both of them will come in handy if Fengtian develops military enterprises in the future."
