Since he was determined to start an anti-Japanese plan in the three eastern provinces, Tang Shaoshuai was very resolute in his work.

For Japan, the most important thing for the three eastern provinces is railway transportation, which is convenient for them to export a large number of resources, so in Japan, there was also a saying of "the lifeline of the Manchurian-Mongolian railway" at that time. After the "Qianjinzhai Incident" occurred, the Japanese side has been putting pressure on Tang Dashuai in Shangjing, demanding that the right to use and build the Manchurian-Mongolian Railway be further opened, hoping to spread the cobwebs deeper and deeper into the northeast. At that time, the railways in use in the north - even the railway from Shangjing to Shenyang that Tang Shaoshuai and his people took were also controlled by the Japanese, which had already made Tang Shaoshuai feel like a bone in his throat.

If the Chinese do not have their own railway, it means that the lifeblood of transportation is still in the hands of others.

The statistics also show that in those years, the Japanese side grabbed more than 10 million yen in profits from China by relying on the Manchurian-Mongolian Railway alone, which was absolutely intolerable as a man with national pride.

The first decision Tang Shaoshuai made was to build his own railway.

Since the establishment of the Northeast Transportation Committee, a large number of talents in this area have immediately gathered around him, but what is worrying is that in terms of technology, the group of technical personnel from the United States said that they could find professionals who had built railways in the United States to help, but after calculating it, the gap in funds made Tang Shaoshuai frown.

At the same time, he is embarking on the idea that the energy system and financial system, including coal mines, will all be owned by the Chinese people, and the specific policy is to support the Chinese enterprises and give them tax and operational conveniences, including the provision of loans.

Money, where can such a large amount of money be mined?

This incident was the thing that bothered him the most at that time.

***

Qu Ning didn't know that her man was worried about money at the time, so she took some of the American technicians and another part of the officials to Qianjinzhai and settled in the local area.

At this time, Qianjinzhai was completely different from the last time she came.

The person in charge is no longer Mayor Jin, who was pro-Japanese last time, domineering, and thinks he is the king of the earth, but has been replaced by a young man who has just reached the age of thirty, who is in the prime of life and very enterprising.

Since Qu Ning and Tang Shaoshuai came to the Northeast, because on many occasions, she appeared together with Tang Shaoshuai, so these people also knew that the young marshal's wife could come here in person, which was no different from them seeing the young marshal.

Therefore, the mayor of the town is not the slightest negligent towards Qu Ning, on the contrary, he can be called respectful, knows everything, and speaks endlessly.

But when it comes to the current situation of the town, the mayor's face is only full of worry: "At the beginning, because of the relationship between the mines, the flow of people was booming, and business began to develop. There are about 80,000 people in this town. But later, because of the rampant Japanese people, Mayor Kim ...... It's quite biased......"

Qu Ning glanced at him, knowing that this was clearly a whitewashed word, and the original word should not be biased, but more ugly, traitorous and the like.

To this day, she can still see that the best houses here were built by the Japanese, and the best land is occupied by the Japanese, and those people can still be arrogant, and they can't figure out who is the owner of this land.

After the Jin Jiabao incident, the mayor of Jin had no choice but to kill some Japanese in a violent manner, and expelled the original Japanese residents in the town, and those extremely beautiful small western-style buildings were empty, but Rao was so, and the price was lowered again and again, and no Chinese people dared to live in it, just afraid of their revenge when they came back.

Lewd and powerful, you can see it!

The mayor of the town hadn't finished speaking, in fact, Qu Ning had done her homework before she came, and it was also clearly written in the "Qianjinzhai Development Plan" in her hand, but at this time, looking at his indignant expression, Qu Ning just reached out and gently tapped his knee, pursed his lips and listened, but he didn't interrupt him at all.

"After settling down in the town, the Japanese expatriates oppressed the original residents in various ways, and there were all kinds of legitimate or unfair means of competition, so that the flow of people gradually became scarce. Coupled with the poor public security, the cracks in the houses caused by the guns under the mines, and other factors, the original more than 80,000 people in the town are now only homeless miners, where they live, you have also seen it, madam," the mayor pointed to a row of extremely simple longhouses in the distance, "I can't shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no tile to cover my head, and there are comprador hooligans and so on, I have been tormented these days, every time I look at it, I feel more torment in my heart, Madame......" He snorted and looked at Qu Ning, barely calming his face that was flushed with anger, " The people here hope that the young marshal will look forward to the rain after a long drought, and they hope that the lady can be sympathetic and find a way out for the people here! ”

Qu Ning was not so excited.

She was past her most excited, angry, and emotional.

When she first came to Qianjinzhai, she saw all kinds of injustices and all kinds of bad deeds, she also felt like her chest was blocked by something, she couldn't sleep at night, and even resented her powerlessness and her early years of staying out of things.

But now, there is only the deepest cold calm left in her heart, she stroked the plan in her hand, and said slowly: "First of all, I have to give you a clear answer, the mine is still to be opened." Coal is also a resource that the young marshal needs, so it is impossible to stop the mining of Qianjinzhai. ”

The mayor had a look of surprise on his face.

Qu Ning knew very well that it was impossible to stop mining.

The Japanese unearthed so crazy before, and exported a lot of resources through the railway, which was almost frenzied, and she didn't need to be told by others, she also knew very well that they were preparing for war.

And through a few years of accumulation, no matter how barren their own resources are, in the past few years, I am afraid that they have produced a lot of weapons in their crazy militaristic machine.

Once the war starts, these artillery fires will hit the heads of the Chinese people.

And if you want to protect your home and country, the ordnance production and research on the Huaxia side cannot stop for a moment.

So even if the miner's life is hard, she can't just because of her own selfishness, or hypocritical kindness, she can't say a word that Qianjinzhai is not allowed to open mines again.

What's more, it is easy for her to say a word, and these miners have become homeless people in this way, which is definitely not her intention.

The mayor of the town was a little disappointed: in the end, he was still young, he was not yet thirty years old, his qi cultivation skills were not in place, and he was newly promoted, so he was inevitably a little young and vigorous.

There was a bit of sincerity on his face.

Qu Ning glanced at him: "The mine will definitely continue to open, and the military factory in Shenyang will not be able to leave here." Although the young marshal and I also considered finding another alternative to Qianjinzhai, in the short term, if the work here stops for one day, the armies of the three northeastern provinces may become toothless tigers, and once the fight starts, the supply of guns and artillery will not be available, and we will all be sinners of the nation. ”

The mayor was irrefutable, and he nodded in silence.

Qu Ning said: "I also know that the life of the miners here is hard, so the first thing is to improve their living conditions. I will consult with the young marshal and ask him to consult with the officials and issue a new issue that does not allow anyone, in any form, to buy or sell land to the Japanese. In addition, tax Japanese companies heavily," she said with a ruthless, she-wolf-like cold gaze in her eyes, "although it is impossible to prevent them from setting up factories, as long as the taxes are so heavy that they can't afford them, I don't think they will think of using various ways to grab profits from us!" I'll see how much more they can earn! ”

The mayor's eyes lit up: "So, Madame mean, those ownerless houses that exist in the town, so that we can all let people live in them?" ”

"Yes," Qu Ning nodded heavily, "Of course, this alone is not enough, but at least temporarily, it will be improved, in addition, the wages of the miners will be increased, and new houses will be built...... As long as the expansion and monopoly tendencies of the Japanese here can be stopped, the lives of the miners will certainly be greatly improved. ”

The words she said spread wave after wave as the whispers of the people around her spread wave after wave, and the miners, who were originally squatting next to her with some trepidation and eavesdropping, were about to drip tears this time.

Next to the mayor, the last time I met with Qu Ning, and showed them the way, Dongzi, who later went to report to the army, also stood next to the mayor and listened attentively at this time.

In fact, mining is not torture for them, on the contrary, these miners have the strength to support their families, and it is also an honor if they can eat and support their families with their own strength. But the terrible thing is that their wages have dropped again and again, and they have been so low that they can no longer bear it, and when they return home, they find that their families are still hungry, and their wives and children cannot be saved, and they will be treated as pigs and dogs by the Japanese, and they will even bow to them when they meet them on the street.

Dongzi didn't know where the Dao came out at this time, and strode in front of Qu Ning, and the people next to him didn't have time to stop him, he had already knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily to her, and when he raised his head, he could see loess and stains of blood on his forehead.

Qu Ning looked at him intently, didn't have time to stretch out his hand to help, just asked solemnly, "What do you want to ask me?" ”

She had already recognized this young man, the young man who had a relationship with them once and had a good relationship.

Dongzi trembled his lips and said, "I have a brother whose wife was raped and killed. He carried a knife that night to take revenge, but what we saw the most was his mutilated naked corpse hanging in the air, naked and gnawed by dogs. I beg my wife to call the shots and clear my brother's grievances! ”

As he spoke, he kept slamming and kowtowing to the ground, obviously ruthless, just hoping to get her answer.

Originally, in the town, the Japanese came first, the comprador lackeys second, and the Chinese citizens third. It's not that Dongzi doesn't want to take revenge, it's that he knows the Tao and protects each other, if he jumps out of the gang fiercely, the result is estimated to be similar to his brother.

If he dies again, who will raise their widowed mother and young son?

But today, after understanding the meaning of Qu Ning's words, Dongzi didn't want to wait, and jumped out directly - he thought, with his previous life-saving credit, this lady might really help him!
