Fengxian Jiangshan

Wu Junsheng didn't care whether he used Wang Tieshan or not, he only cared about his own interests.

"Nephew Humble Words, tell me what you are going to transport, so that you know what you are doing."

"Currently targeting Russia, we are walking on two legs. There are both formal trade and smuggling. The formal trade is signed with the Allies. The military supplies produced by Fengtian are directly sold to countries such as Britain, France and Russia, including military food, military uniforms, quilts, and tents. , military boots, belts, etc. We sell whatever we can produce.”

With the deepening of cooperation.Fengtian has good quality and low price.It has been recognized by the United Kingdom and Russia. Although Zhang Tinglan frequently adds ingredients to the cans, I have to say that the seasoning is still very good. Compared with American cans, Chinese cans are still delicious.

In addition to canned food, other military foods have been developed.The most important thing among them is dried noodles, which are convenient to eat, and smooth and delicious, in the dark and damp tunnel.Eating a bowl of hot noodles is considered a good enjoyment, and the dried noodles produced by Fengtian are also equipped with seasoning packets, which are actually considered primitive instant noodles.

The UK has arranged special purchasing personnel in Fengtian. After seeing the dried noodles, these people are full of praise. They have already ordered the first batch and sent them to Europe for tasting. If the soldiers can accept it, they will immediately expand the scale of the order.

Facts have proved that dried noodles are more successful than canned food. After being shipped to Europe, not only the soldiers on the front line, but even ordinary people got some through government rations. They were very interested in this kind of food from the East.Before that, they may only know Italian macaroni, but they don't know that there are similar foods in distant China.

Many soldiers cook Chinese canned food and dried noodles together, and the taste of the canned food will permeate into the noodles, making them fragrant and refreshing. Soon this way of eating spreads, even soldiers who don’t like noodles , will also make some thick soup, so as to swallow the dry and hard bread.

As for those housewives, they often cook a little vegetable or meat they find with vermicelli, and then the whole family enjoys a hot and delicious meal.During the war, these Europeans lowered their requirements again and again. As long as they can fill their stomachs, they are good things, and the food produced in China seems to be better than Americans, and the price is also cheaper.

These alone are enough, the British government has decided to further increase investment in Fengtian, turning Fengtian into a production base for British military food.

Don't underestimate these inconspicuous things like canned noodles. It was these things that helped Fengtian earn the first precious pound. With this money, Fengtian purchased a batch of machines and cultivated a group of workers. Laid the foundation for the next development.

Zhang Tinglan wants to establish a branch factory in Taonan because of the need to expand production capacity. Taonan is closer to Mongolia, it is easier to obtain raw materials, and the labor cost is lower than Fengtian. It is a very good investment location.

"We can smuggle normal trade goods, whether it is food, clothing or use, bypass Russian customs, and then sell them directly to the bottom Russian people through the black market. They will definitely flock to them. In addition, we also To smuggle some luxury goods needed by the Russian upper class, such as high-end clothing, jewelry, furniture, and even cars, we can get them as long as they need them. Alcohol is also a very important part, and Russians are addicted to alcohol , from top to bottom, our Kanto shochu is selling very well in the Far East, and the profit can be more than five times."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan lowered her voice: "These are just legal trades. In fact, I am planning to smuggle drugs to Russia. This is the real huge profit!"

When Wu Junsheng heard that drugs were going to be smuggled into Russia, he was immediately stunned: "Zhuoyan, the big powers sold us opium, don't they themselves know that it is a harmful thing, and would they still buy it?"

"Why not, the great powers are not monolithic, and their people are also very different. There are many drug addicts, and the Russian economy has almost collapsed. The people can't see a way out. It's a good thing to smoke some opium and relax!"

In fact, Zhang Tinglan had already arranged for Chen Qiming to refine morphine before coming here. Of course, Zhang Tinglan did not disclose the plan for large-scale smuggling, but only told him to use it as an analgesic.In fact, when all drugs were first developed, they were used to relieve human suffering and were widely used in medicine. However, people later discovered that these pain-relieving drugs have serious dependence and become harmful drugs.

Zhang Tinglan is well aware of the dangers of drugs.How many people have gone bankrupt because of drugs, and their families have been destroyed.But he has no moral burden to sell drugs to Russia. If it is allowed, it would be better to sell drugs to Japan, or even Europe and the United States.No matter how many difficulties this gang of robbers wearing civilized masks have brought to China, it should always charge some interest.

Wu Junsheng listened carefully to Zhang Tinglan's introduction, and basically figured out the key to smuggling. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about Zhuoyan, as long as the things are transported to Taonan. I will be responsible for the rest of the crossing through the grassland. Who will be safe?" If I dare not open my eyes, I will regard them as Mongolian bandits and exterminate them!"

Wu Datong has a ruthless spirit in doing things. If anyone dares to block his way of making money, Old Wu will definitely go down and die.

"I suggest that you better set up a horse convoy. It is specially responsible for transportation and adopts a unified logo. It shows our identities. Let those bandits dare not act rashly. And this is also a way to make money. I have already set up one in Fengtian. The effect Very good, when you don’t need to smuggle, you can also help those merchants transport goods, and there is a lot of profit.”

The transportation team formed by Zhang Tinglan is actually a bit of a car dealership.Among them, there are not only carriages belonging to the transportation team, but also foreign carriages are accepted. As long as you pay a little membership fee, you can get asylum.Therefore, it is very popular with the handlebar style.

"I'll let Kaijie come forward and organize all the handlebars in Taonan. This kid has been with me for so many years, but he didn't get any benefits. Let him save some money for his wife."

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and then said: "There is one more thing to remember, that is, when we smuggle, we cannot accept Russian rubles, and we must exchange them for gold as much as possible. Russia is already in such a mess, and their money is not reliable. , maybe it will be worthless at any time!"

Of course Zhang Tinglan couldn't tell them about the Russian Revolution, so he could only remind them in this way. Both Wu Junsheng and Wang Tieshan nodded in agreement.

Wu Junsheng is also a vigorous and resolute person. After discussing with Zhang Tinglan, he immediately sent people to Mongolia to buy cattle and sheep, and set aside special land for building factories. Wu Kaijie was also preparing to set up a horse team. The situation in Russia and Mongolia required him to formulate some concrete plans.

Compared with them, Zhang Tinglan was much more relaxed. He first sent a telegram to Fengtian, and Qiao Lanyun, who was in charge of smuggling, immediately rushed to Taonan with some capable assistants to direct various affairs in person.Although she is a woman, she handles things in the manner of a man, and she pays the most attention to efficiency. With her command, everything will be straightened out quickly.

Zhang Tinglan is also happy to be at leisure. His greatest pleasure is to look at that haughty and haughty horse in a daze. This guy has been in Zhang Tinglan's hands for a few days, but his temper is still astonishing. At most, Zhang Tinglan is only allowed to touch it. Fur, and the time can't be too long, otherwise the uncle will lose his temper.

"Brother, I think you are a bitch. This guy is good-looking, but he is not obedient at all, and he can't ride. What's the use of keeping him!"

Zhang Tingshu complained full of complaints. He also loved this horse very much at first, and tried every means to please it. He got the best fodder. Master Zhang Er wanted to climb on the horse's back while it was grazing with its head down, but it didn't work. When he sat up, Ma turned his body violently and threw Zhang Tingshu out at once.

And this is not over yet, this guy even kicked Zhang Tingshu viciously at Zhang Tingshu who fell on the ground with his hind hoof. Sensitive, he managed to avoid it, but since then, he has no affection for this irascible war horse.

"Second brother, this little guy is less than one and a half years old, just like a child who hasn't grown up, you have to be patient, as the saying goes, gold and stone are as good as you are, and you will be accepted sooner or later. The ancients often said that raising a horse Compared with a gentleman, a beast is also a human being, so it is wrong for you to always think about riding it."

"Brother, don't you have a fever?" Zhang Tingshu said, and stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Tinglan's forehead.

"When did you become so kind and patient? This is not the big brother in my impression."

"Then what does it look like in your impression?"

"Insidious, cunning, greedy, and a bit hypocritical!" Zhang Tingshu wanted to continue, but Zhang Tinglan's big slap fell down hard.

After getting along for a few days, it is not without progress. At least this horse is willing to let Zhang Tinglan get close, and Zhang Tinglan even named it Liu Guang.

Early in the morning, Zhang Tinglan rode her big black horse, pulled Liu Guang, out of Taonan City, and came to the school field where the cavalry was trained, and began to run briskly around the school field. Liu Guang seemed to be in a very good mood. That's right, I kept sniffing, and after running, Master Liu Guang rubbed Zhang Tinglan's face with his big head for the first time, but this guy only gave a little sunshine, and then he looked indifferent again, but it also made Zhang Tinglan Zhang Tinglan was overjoyed.

Everything is filled with joy and sorrow, and as soon as he returned to Taonan, trouble came to him.

"Brother Tinglan, there has been a civil uprising in Liaoyang. Tens of thousands of hungry people have besieged big landlords. My father told you to meet Fengtian as soon as possible and discuss how to deal with it!"

Chapter 125

"Hanqing, do you know the specific situation?"

"The people in Liaoyang were flooded and couldn't pay their rent. Now it's getting colder. The hungry people gathered together to attack the local big households and rob them of food. It is said that the number reached tens of thousands."

Zhang Tinglan frowned. The Chinese people have always been the most patient group of people. If the tens of thousands of people were not driven to a dead end, this would never happen.By the same token, once a large-scale civil unrest occurs, it means that the local situation is extremely bad, and it is definitely not easy to solve it.

"Hanqing, let's bid farewell to Uncle Wu immediately and return to Fengtian as soon as possible." Naturally, Wu Junsheng would not stay too much if something happened. Several guards rushed back to Fengtian, and Wu Junsheng personally sent them to the station.

On the way to the train station, Old Wu kept peeking at Zhang Tinglan. He thought that Zhang Tinglan had been overestimated before, but now it seems that he still underestimated this little guy.

It stands to reason that civil uprisings are first handled by officials in charge of civil affairs, either by opening granaries to release grain, or by giving away porridge for relief.If there is a violent disturbance, the army will be sent to suppress it. This is done everywhere, and it has become a habit. There is no such thing as Zhang Tinglan.

But now when something goes wrong, Lao Zhang called Zhang Tinglan back immediately, and he must listen to his opinion. Being able to have a say in such a major matter shows that Zhang Zuolin attaches great importance to him.

Who is Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng knows best, he can't go wrong with the person he values ​​so much.It seems that Zhang Tinglan has become Lao Zhang's confidant, not an ordinary boy of the younger generation, Lao Ba is really blessed, to have such a promising son, Wu Junsheng couldn't help but envy him.

"Zhuoyan. I will let Lao Wang take care of your war horse, and then send someone to send you back to Fengtian. Don't worry, if you lose a hair, the uncle will compensate you with a gold bar."

I just improved a little relationship with Liu Guang, and now I have to leave in a hurry, I don't know if I will recognize myself next time we meet, this master still has a big temper, of course Zhang Tinglan still knows the seriousness, so hurry up and return by train Fengtian.

"The people of Tinglange are really suffering to such a degree. They can't even eat?"

Zhang Tinglan nodded: "Hanqing, the actual situation is always worse than imagined. We are a huge agricultural country, and farmers are the foundation of this country. However, the power of the government is nothing more than going deep into the countryside. It can only be controlled by those landlords and local tyrants. Local people bear too heavy a burden. After paying the land rent, the money on hand is not enough to support their lives. If there is a disaster year, or there are weddings and weddings at home, they have to borrow usury, the interest of the donkey rolling, how many people So the family was destroyed."

"Planting the land to pay rent, and paying off debts. Isn't this a matter of course?"

"There is nothing natural in this world, it depends on which side your butt is sitting on." Zhang Tinglan said: "Farmers go out early and return late. They work hard, but they can barely fill their stomachs in good years. In bad years, they will sell their children and daughters." , the family is ruined, this is the biggest injustice, the degree of civilization of a government depends on whether it really cares about the disadvantaged majority!"

If China wants to develop, it must solve the problem of the peasants who are the majority of the population. No matter how difficult it is, it must face up to it, and it cannot be avoided, nor can it be avoided. If the power of the peasants is not released, China will always be backward. Can't change.

"Mr. Wang Yongjiang proposed clearing up the land, which is the beginning of dealing with the peasant problem. Regardless of the landlord and the peasant, they must pay taxes according to the actual amount of land. However, I think it is not enough. More things need to be done, such as restricting Land rent, such as the establishment of rural banks, or the development of factories, in short, we must do everything possible to reduce the burden on farmers and increase their income level.”

Sitting on the train, Zhang Tinglan was constantly thinking about how to deal with the civil uprising in front of him. In fact, it is very easy to cure the symptoms. Either kill the people who lead the trouble, or kill a few big households, take out a little food, and give relief. Disaster victims, on it.

However, this method did not touch the core of the farmers' problems. If there is another disaster year, I am afraid that this situation will happen again. Therefore, we must find a fundamental solution. I am afraid that this is why Zhang Zuolin is in a hurry to let Zhang Tinglan return to Fengtian. I want to see if he can come up with a new way.

After getting off the train, Zhang Tinglan went straight to the Marshal's Mansion, but when he was two streets away from the Marshal's Mansion, he saw many parades with banners and slogans, hundreds of people, and surrounded the street in front of the Marshal's Mansion Get up, and on the opposite side are soldiers with live ammunition, waiting in full force.
