New Warlords 1909

"Ruoyin, it's me, I'm Hua Fei!"

This voice was so familiar, it lingered in Zhu Ruoyin's ears for many days and nights.For so many days and nights, Zhu Ruoyin took care of the voice on the hospital bed.Even hearing this voice, Zhu Ruoyin could think of the hero who was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, the hero in her heart that no one could replace.

The rosary in Zhu Ruoyin's hand stopped for a few seconds, and then slowly turned again.Her eyes didn't open, her body didn't move, only her eyelids trembled violently, betraying her inner world at the moment.

"I've heard about you. You...I thought you were fine. Anyway...you shouldn't make everyone worry about you like this!"

Zhu Ruoyin couldn't bear the real feeling of the voice being so close to her ears, and her heart wave, which had finally calmed down, became turbulent and violent in an instant.She turned around quickly and said in a calm voice, "Benefactor, this is a nunnery, please don't disturb me... disturb the poor nun's meditation!"

Hua Fei was silent, while Zhu Ruoyin who turned around was also trembling on his shoulders.It's been a few months, months of painstaking cultivation turned out to be in vain, just because of the arrival of a certain person, she completely lost control.Zhu Ruoyin hated herself a little, but this hatred was so powerless and weak.

"Come back with me. If you insist on worshiping the Buddha, then I will send you back after your parents have passed for a hundred years. I will never break my promise!"

quiet!Hua Fei couldn't see Zhu Ruoyin's face, but he knew that Zhu Ruoyin would not be able to maintain the calmness just now.After a long time, Zhu Ruoyin said in a hoarse voice, "Benefactor, poor nun..."

"Come on!" Hua Fei stood up and shouted to the outside of the room.

"Here!" A few guards walked in under the astonished eyes of the nuns in Fashan Hall and Zhu Ruoyin's flustered eyes.

"I don't care what method you use, invite Miss Zhu back for me, um, please go back to my house, arrange a room for Miss Zhu, and protect Miss Zhu's safety all day long."

"Grandma, that Lu Youyun dared to say that I'm not a man. I'm going to be a man today and show that girl! What's wrong? Didn't you hear my order just now? Or are you unable to complete the task?"

"Yes... yes, obey!"

This sudden situation was shocking. He ran to the nunnery to snatch people, and even snatched the nun back to his home.This person... is this person really the President of Nanjing?Didn't the benevolent people who came to offer incense say that this president is a good president?Why is the reality in front of me quite different from what people say about it?

Hua Fei left, and went out to the Zhu couple outside the nunnery, patted his chest and assured, "We must invite Zhu Ruoyin out of Fashan Nunnery. For her emotional considerations and continuous work needs to untangle her knot, Hua Fei decided to temporarily send her away. Settled in his own quarters."

The Zhu family was overjoyed. Although they didn't know what happened in the nunnery, seeing Hua Fei's assurance, they still had any doubts.As long as the daughter doesn't stay here, she can go anywhere and whomever she wants to marry, the Zhu family decided to leave her alone.

Hua Fei patted his ass and left, but left the big problem to Sun Ban.This is a hard time for Sun Ban, who is not good at words. He is a teacher and a master at the same time. He is almost called a sister.But Zhu Ruoyin just sat there with her eyes closed, motionless, but the rosary in her hand stopped turning.

Seeing that it was getting dark, what Sun Ban said was that his mouth was dry, but in fact, it was the teacher, I beg you, the teacher, you are more embarrassing us and so on a few pitiful words.

Sun Ban has such a good temper, and the other guard's temper is somewhat similar to Qin Mu's.In addition, he didn't know the identity of the teacher in front of him, so he couldn't help but shouted in a hurry, "Master, don't make things difficult for us anymore. If you annoy me, I will burn this nunnery to the ground." Ashes, let's see how you stay!"

Zhu Ruoyin didn't respond much, but this sentence scared the other nuns in the nunnery.Not only the abbot of the nunnery came out to persuade him, but even Zhu Ruoyin's master came out to speak.My child, when you asked Master to take you in, Master agreed.Now, Master begs you to leave, after all, you are not my monk, why fight against fate!

: This matter has dragged on for a long time, spend 1~2 chapters, let’s solve it~~ Iron-blooded tenderness, it’s not very tender, let’s barely support it~

293 Never Sacrifice Anyone's Happiness

Hua Fei arranged Zhu Ruoyin in a remote corner of the backyard.Zhu Ruoyin seemed to have seen through something, even though she was forcibly invited to Hua Fei's house, she still did not take off her plain clothes, sat in the house all day long, ate only vegetarian food, and lit lamps to worship Buddha.

During the period, Hua Fei also tried to persuade Zhu Ruoyin a few times, and found someone who he thought could persuade Zhu Ruoyin, but even Hua Fei couldn't persuade him. Who has the ability?With no other choice, Hua Fei had no choice but to deal with it like this for the time being.As long as Zhu Ruoyin is willing to stay here, her parents can also visit her often.Hua Fei did not prohibit her from coming in and out, but she would be accompanied by a special person.I hope that time will make this child realize that in this world, there are feelings as heavy as love, and it doesn't mean that you can abandon it if you want to.

At the same time, Hua Fei sent a telegram to Harman in the United States, asking her to return to China at the right time to see if she could persuade Zhu Ruoyin as Harman.After the establishment of the unified railway company, all railway lines have entered the regular track.After gradually making profits, Harman responded to Huang Yanzhi's request and went to the United States to assist Huang Yan's investment plan in the United States.

Since the country has gradually entered a benign track, the government's fiscal revenue has also increased year by year, and various bonds are also being repaid on schedule.Although after reunification, the central government must face the problem of limited capital investment in construction after the expansion of the governance area, but at the same time, fiscal revenue such as taxes will also increase accordingly.

As everything is operating under the formal system, even if Hua Fei has accumulated a large amount of private funds to invest and set up factories in China, he still needs to consider the needs and production capacity issues, and even whether there will be a monopoly phenomenon, which will have an impact on the nascent national capital!Therefore, except for a small number of industries with relatively high thresholds and the military industry, for domestic investment in other fields, Huafei generally uses the two major investment companies and banks to intervene to promote domestic development.

But these years, with the vigorous development of various businesses, especially the arms trade and the 1918 influenza incident, even though Hua Fei has won the reputation of the savior, the real money is not less.Now there is no complete and accurate statistics of his specific total assets, but Hua Fei knows that the total amount of cash he can call is 100 billion Singapore dollars, or about 50 billion US dollars.

What is this concept?Back in 1918, Hua Fei had made statistics on his own assets, and the data obtained at that time was that the total asset value was about 200 billion Singapore dollars. Note that it was the total asset size.But now, the cash flow that Hua Fei can use is 100 billion Singapore dollars, and if we calculate those fixed assets and part of the equity.Hua Fei really can't imagine how much money he has now.

Of course, at this point today, Hua Fei has become numb to how much money he owns, and even lacks interest in estimating the total value of assets at the beginning.After all, as the president of a country, Hua Fei's life should not be too extravagant. In fact, Hua Fei had never paid attention to these things before. He really didn't have the energy to take care of things other than the country's government and military affairs.Even the family, even the five or six-year-old daughter, Hua Fei can't see each other a few times a year.

With so much cash, if you don't use it, it will gradually shrink as inflation develops.So since last year, Hua Fei has increased funds year by year for Huang Yan in the United States and investment groups in various countries, especially the United States. In 23 years alone, Hua Fei gave Huang Yan an investment quota of [-] million US dollars.

What is the concept of 700 million US dollars?Today, the gross national product of the United States is only more than 1929 billion U.S. dollars. In the most glorious period before the Great Depression in 1000, the gross national product reached more than [-] billion U.S. dollars.Relative to the amount of gross national product.Two hundred million may not be a big deal.However, if you invest in the United States with individual assets, plus the previous investment capital in the United States, such a scale of funds can definitely be regarded as a very influential consortium.

Although Huafei has invested deeply in the United States, not only investing in heavy industry, light industry, but also the service industry will not give up.There is even a group of elites who have worked hard in the U.S. stock market, arranging in the U.S. stock market, harvesting hidden wealth one after another.Most of Hua Fei's assets in the United States are investment companies, joint ventures with Americans, or participation in major American group companies.Never hold a controlling stake, never occupy the position of major shareholder, never high-profile, covert and scattered, and never attract attention.

In addition, Hua Fei's assets also controlled several newspapers and some radio stations, which had a preliminary guidance on public opinion and had an impact that cannot be underestimated on influencing the US's China policy.These measures allowed Huafei’s capital to enter the United States on a large scale, but the American government and the people seem to know little about it. Instead, some emerging Chinese capitalists went to the United States to do business and set up factories, which caused a burst of exclamation from the Americans.

Strong economic and trade ties not only deepen relations with other countries, but also bring the interests of all countries closer together.That's why most of the countries remained silent after Hua Fei's Nanjing Central had a stalemate with Portugal.And even Britain and France, which reacted most violently, ended up getting nothing.Without him, benefits, money.

In summer, the temperature is very high, and there are severe droughts all over the country.Food harvests have been exhausted, drinking water has problems in some places, and there have been reports of dead people.Rumors also began to spread, saying how many people the central army had killed in the south, and the new central government would not be helped by God. This was God's warning to the Nanjing Central Committee and punishment to China.

As information from various places came in one after another, Hua Fei immediately realized how serious the disaster was.Almost that night, Hua Fei left all the affairs at hand and immediately flew to the most severely drought-stricken area to personally guide the earthquake relief work.Historically, the drought that affected more than a dozen provinces this year killed hundreds of thousands of people.There are factors of natural disasters, of course, man-made disasters are even more to blame.Because Hua Fei attached great importance to the construction of water conservancy, especially in the original autonomous region, the water conservancy facilities were obviously better than other areas, so the disaster situation was much lighter.

But for other provinces, especially the water-scarce northern provinces, the disaster is very serious.The drought has led to severe crop failures, or even no crops, which put many farmers in immediate danger of starvation.Reports of eating bark, digging grass roots, and dying of starvation frequently appeared in the newspapers.After all, these regions have recently been unified to the central government, and conditions in all aspects are difficult to improve quickly.There really isn't much food left at home.

When he went to a severely disaster-stricken area, when he saw the bulging stomachs and thin limbs of the children, Hua Fei was like seeing refugees from the famine in Africa.That innocent, ignorant eyes.In such a hungry situation, when Hua Fei took out the dry food he carried with him and handed it over, those children actually told Hua Fei, "Mom said, everyone is hungry and can't eat other people's food."

"Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly, if you don't eat, you will starve to death!" An accompanying government official said in a hoarse voice with his eyes blinking.

"I won't starve to death. Grandpa said that the President is a good man. In the earthquake, the President came to us in person and saved everyone's lives. Now that we are in disaster, the President will not leave us alone! Grandpa said, we Be patient, don't trouble the government, trouble the president!"

For a moment, Hua Fei seemed to be stung by something, the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, he quickly raised his head, and looked hard at the blue sky without a single cloud.If not, he really couldn't help it, and the tears that gathered in his eyes really couldn't help but roll down.

"Wang Meng!"

"Here!" Wang Meng, the commander of the guard army who was following Hua Fei, stood up and shouted with all his strength.Hunger, what a deep memory this is for Wang Meng.And the scene in front of me seemed familiar!

"I authorize you to use all the transportation means of the National Defense Forces, and you must transport me enough food for all the people in this county within one day!" Hua Fei gritted his teeth, although he knew very well that in the northern region, food is an extremely scarce material. .

Wang Meng said without hesitation, "Yes, if the task cannot be completed, please shoot me, Commander!"

Whether or not the task is completed is not important.The important thing is that for Wang Meng at this moment, he is starting to provoke a major responsibility. If he delays for a day, many people may starve to death. Those are living beings, our lovely compatriots.

"Take my No. [-] plane back, convert it into a transport plane as quickly as possible, and put it into the temporary transport team!"

Wang Meng hesitated for a moment, stood at attention, saluted, and left after receiving orders.

Then Hua Fei announced a series of orders on the spot.Order Nanjing to quickly set up a general headquarters for drought relief, and comprehensively coordinate the drought relief work across the country. If the required funds and special fiscal expenditures of the central government are not enough, they can call Huafei to solve the problem.In addition, we immediately dispatched grain across the country, and used all transportation channels to transport the grain to the disaster area in the shortest possible time, so as to solve the urgent needs of the disaster area, and authorized the use of national grain reserves.

It was not enough to finish all this. After returning to the county seat, Hua Fei used radio waves to broadcast to the people of the whole country, apologizing for the slow and negligent response of the central government to the drought incident.To the souls and living relatives of those victims who died of drought and hunger, please forgive their sins.At the same time, Hua Fei called on the people of the whole country to take action to sell the grain at home to Kangmin Food Bank, and announced the use of funds from the charity fund to purchase food from Kangmin Food Bank for earthquake relief.

Hua Fei said solemnly in the radio waves, we cannot defeat the heavens, we cannot fight against the heavens and the earth, but we can defeat ourselves.As long as we unite, unite as one, and gather the strength and love of all, we will be able to get through this difficult time.Without food, we let the plane drop, without water, we thirst for the earth.We will win and overcome disasters, because we have a unified country, because we have a group of lovely people!

This speech was transmitted to various domestic radio stations and some family radios through radio waves. Countless people put down their work and listened quietly.It is no surprise that the president is in a disaster area again.If the president is still in the mansion at this moment, I am afraid that many people will be suspicious.But Hua Fei's words at the beginning, the apology and pleading guilty to the deceased, still shocked many people.In the eyes of many people, the dignified president of a country is almost no different from the emperor.Besides, the drought lasted for a long time again, which is really a natural disaster. The government has been working hard, and it is not in vain.Hua Fei is involved in national affairs, in fact, even if he does not apologize, no one will seriously reprimand him, or dismiss him.But he not only apologized, but also pleaded guilty to the soul and relatives of the deceased.The psychological impact on many people is no less than that of a Haiyuan earthquake.

Soon, the recordings of the conversations between the children Hua Fei met in the countryside and Hua Fei were heavily publicized by the radio station as a news feature.That childlike voice, that firm trust, and the words "Be patient, don't bother the President" shocked everyone's hearts and kindness.Someone stood under the broadcast and cried out loud while listening to it.In this suffering land, how many people know the taste of hunger firsthand.Now that the country is newly built, these children are happy in the face of hunger, because they still have one hope, and you still have a big president who can be trusted.

Under the overwhelming action of newspapers, radio, street publicity, etc., the disaster relief was in full swing. The social forces mobilized even exceeded the previous Haiyuan Earthquake, which once again tested the Nanjing government's handling and means of facing the crisis.Because of the wide range of disasters this time, the number of victims, and the huge amount of materials that need to be used, it is really a rare amount.Hua Fei personally ordered the use of strategic grain reserves, which means that the newly established strategic grain reserves may be running out.For national security, it is indeed a huge challenge.

After mobilizing a lot of resources and strength into disaster relief, Hua Fei was not satisfied with it.The recruits of the five armies who had just been recruited and completed their recruit training were all put into drought relief and disaster relief. In addition, almost four-fifths of the air force's transportation force was used, and the passenger planes of civil aviation did not land. Even Air Force One temporarily performed rescue missions. .

The First Cabinet Office in Nanjing also quickly announced a presidential decree that shocked the press and the public. According to the authorization of the President, the First Cabinet Office and the Prime Minister’s Office jointly announced that all families in the disaster-stricken areas with less than three acres of land per capita will be exempted from the five-year penalty land rent tax.

In other words, as long as the per capita arable land is less than three mu, in the next five years, all taxes on the land do not need to be paid.In other words, no matter whether your land is privately owned or temporarily leased from the state, you do not need to pay any taxes.And if your land is leased from local landlords, you don't need to pay any rent.The landlord’s rent is subsidized by special funds from the state. Because the landlord generally owns more land, their rent tax is not exempted, so it can usually be deducted, and the state does not need to provide a huge amount of subsidy funds.

The details of this decree are so perfect that even the details of fraudulent rent collection have been considered. It is really unbelievable that it was produced in just a few days.And because most of the landlords did not suffer too much loss, but did not enjoy the preferential treatment of ordinary people, so even if they complained a little, no one cared about it with the farmers who were starving to death.After all, for the vast majority of landlord families, not only do they need hired farmers to work for them, but they will not choose to confront the government at this moment.

The common shock among the people is not the tax exemption, but the number of years.It is reasonable to say that this year's rent has been exempted, so it is impossible that there will be a severe drought next year.Well, even if you consider that there will still be a drought next year, even if you consider that the lives of the people are difficult, it is good to exempt two years.But the central government suddenly exempted five years of taxation.
