Chapter 276: Disaster Relief (Part II)

The Fengtian Provincial Department of the People's Party and the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of the People's Party also mobilized people from all walks of life in the northeast and called on everyone to spread the hand of benevolence. Since the People's Party in political circles has been unable to open up the situation for a long time, it is better to increase its influence and organizational ability, right? And this is also a good time to promote the People's Party positively, although Zhang Hanqing does not want such a thing to happen from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Zuolin first donated 200,000 yuan, followed by Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, Bao Guiqing, Zhang Zuoxiang... The 27th Division, the 28th Division, the Guards Division... When Yu Fengzhi, the young lady of the Marshal's Mansion, donated ten pairs of cloth shoes that he had made overnight and promised to do so every day, the "Fengtian Times" published an article praising it: "What a dexterous hand can make this needle eye that is closely matched with needles!" The needle and thread are connected to the feelings between the people of Fengtian and the people in the disaster area, and express the heart-to-heart between us and the people in the disaster area! (What a familiar writing!) )

As a big country, disaster relief cannot only rely on enterprises and individuals, and the role of the government cannot be erased. However, Zhang Hanqing's instant noodles were transported from Fengtian to Hebei, and the Beijing government's disaster relief plan has not yet been introduced, which makes Zhang Hanqing angry. Many history books are singing praises for Duan Qirui: for example, he can't kneel for the victims of the "August 13" tragedy in the official history, never eat meat again, "six no prime ministers", etc., calling him a politician who loves the people. However, if he could borrow money from Japan to buy arms, wouldn't he be able to allocate some of the money from the arms money to help the victims survive this difficult period? They are all the people under the rule, the living beings!

Moreover, according to some sources, when there was a catastrophe in North China and people were starving, the "Chinese army participating in the war" actually took the opportunity to recruit new soldiers among the disaster victims, and the reason was only that by doing so, they could recruit strong men who could only be recruited at a very low price---- and they could only be recruited at a very low price.

And in the disaster victims, the cost of conscription is lower---- and their requirements are very simple, as long as they can have something to eat!

You must know that these strong men are the pillars and hope of the whole family, and if they are not there, the affected family will really have no way to live. This trick of the Anhui system is ruthless, vicious, and extremely inhumane. To do so is to completely abandon disaster relief, and there is a sense of taking the fire out of the fire.

With both public and private thoughts, Zhang Hanqing published an article in the Beijing Times, asking the Duan government to take part of the arms money as relief funds for the disaster victims. This move made the direct warlords who opposed their military force southward finally found a firepower point, and they called one after another to ask the government to make every effort to provide disaster relief---- and used up the money, see what else you are doing to join the army? If you use the money to buy arms to do good deeds, even if you sell some belongings, we will admit it!

Under pressure, Duan Qirui could only slow down the recruitment of strong men, and could only take out some of the money for disaster relief. Although reluctant, Zhang Hanqing's approach still saved many lives as much as possible. From this point of view, the little dirty things he had done seemed insignificant.

That is, through disaster relief, Zhang Hanqing's "Master Yang" instant noodles also came back to life. At the beginning, Feng Delin was deceived by him in order to compete with him for the brand of instant noodles, and he was deceived by him to almost sell iron, not only the brand influence is small, there is no market sales network, and the worst thing is that it is piled up but because of lack of funds, it cannot be continued and is on the verge of bankruptcy. It was only later that Lao Feng had an accident, and when Zhang Hanqing took over the 28th Division by Zhang Zuolin, he also reached out to take over the factory.

"Master Yang" was originally similar to the taste of "Unification", ---- "Unification" that had just formed the market had not yet worked on the development of taste and changes---- mainly because Zhang Hanqing had too many things to take care of this at all, and there was no capable master in the factory to optimize the process. When Zhang Hanqing didn't have time to think about how to open the "Master Yang" brand, he ran into a flood. Anyway, it's a backlog, so it's better to give it to the victims. I don't want his unintentional move to make reporters in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei find inspiration, and they have reported on his sincere love for the people, and by the way, "Master Yang" has also become popular. This is unintentionally planted in the willows.

The merry young marshal has become a benevolent and righteous young marshal, the bearded marshal has become a patriotic marshal, and the hero does not ask about his background, it is honest!

Public opinion is not one-sided, and people with good intentions will also question the rumors that Zhang's father and son are putting on a show, and Fengtian has another opportunity to increase their influence in politics. In this regard, Xiong Xiling said well: "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." Zhang's father and son were able to survive countless lives on their own, that is, they made great contributions to the people. If it is for show, Xiong is also willing to be in the same party. ”

In Mukden, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin talked in detail about his new plan, immigration.

This summer, Xinmin County has another bumper grain harvest. Not only because of the increase in the number of acres, but also because of the land reform movement in October last year, the land measurement and registration have been relatively mature, so the increase in the number of acres is limited.

Instead, the peasants' enthusiasm for farming has increased, and they have invested more enthusiasm in their own fields---- Xinmin Land Reform collects agricultural tax based on the harvest in the summer of the sixth year of the Republic of China, and the upper land is about 20 catties per mu---- which is the tax amount of the benchmark 5 mu. If the harvest is good, this part will not be increased again, but the tax amount will be recalculated every five years. During this period, more work is more rewarding.

In one fell swoop, the enthusiasm of the peasants was laid, and the shortcomings of Fengtian's small number of people and more land were undoubtedly exposed again.

It's time to emigrate to the outside of the border, but the Chinese people have always followed the tradition of the fox guarding the hills, and it is difficult to move their homeland, so it is difficult for the people of Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces, who have a lot of land and little land, to migrate to the northeast, which has always been known as a bitter cold land.

Now is a good opportunity. Because of the flood, there is no home, come to Mukden, you can rebuild a home.

Zhang Zuolin convened a meeting of the Fengtian Provincial Government to discuss the feasibility of immigrants entering Mukden. The participants believed that with the investigation of the previous stage of the Provincial Land Reform Commission, the rural land survey work in Fengtian Province has basically come to an end, and the fact that there are few people in Fengtian is basically clear. They are positive about immigrants coming here.

But how to settle down, which department is responsible for each other's blame, everyone knows that this is a troublesome matter. Immigrants need to eat, wear, live, live, die, their children go to school, and the population needs to work.

Zhang Hanqing was brave enough to do anything, and he asked the People's Party to take charge of this work. As far as he is concerned, the People's Party has set up corresponding People's Party headquarters in all parts of the province, but now they cannot make any administrative noise in any place except Xinmin County---- which is not in accordance with the law. If the name is not right, the word is not good, and the voice of the People's Party in Mukden is very weak, and it has the feeling of being reduced to a "political participation party" in later generations.

The old forces are unwilling to give up their power, which is a historical necessity. But when these old forces included his father, he was helpless. The BJP has not experienced brutal struggles, and it has not made corresponding contributions to history, so it is unreasonable to try to gain power in such a way.

Now, he finally has the opportunity to have a place in the government in the name of justice, and Zhang Hanqing keenly seized this opportunity. Whether or not the resettlement of migrants and their integration into the old groups is a test of the ability of the party committees in various localities. In addition, it is also a good opportunity to publicize the People's Party's governance for the people.

As a result, the Propaganda Department of the People's Party called on the broad masses of people's party members and grassroots party organizations to actively make preparations for the entry of migrants and to discuss effective resettlement methods.

At the same time, Zhang Hanqing went to the front line of the flood to promote the benefits of resettlement to the local government and social organizations. In Wuqing, he explained to all sectors of society the various methods for resettlement of migrants in Northeast China:

"In the past few days, I have visited many disaster areas and seen with my own eyes the tragic situation of the people's poor livelihood, and here, entrusted by the Fengtian Provincial Government, I hereby solemnly announce that I will provide 500,000 yuan of clothing and food within 10 days. At the same time, the major businesses in Fengtian also donated 300,000 yuan, although it is a drop in the bucket, but I would like to represent the heart of the same people.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and in addition to donating, we also hope that the victims can support themselves. Rebuilding the affected areas requires a significant investment, which in the current situation would require a significant investment. Instead of waiting to rebuild, start building a new home now.

There is vast and fertile land waiting to be cultivated in the Northeast, and the people in the Northeast, like the people in Guannei, are all descendants of Yan and Huang, writing the same words and saying the same words. They have been mobilized to build the new Northeast together.

Mukden's pilot land reform has made it possible for everyone to have land to grow and everyone to eat, provided that you are willing to contribute.

Don't worry about not having a place to go, I have arranged for the People's Party to carry out resettlement work at various stations and wharves in Mukden. In the early days, it would be placed in the homes of peasant brothers, and the government would provide food and clothing. According to government regulations, every immigrant can get five acres of land for free, and the tax is pitifully small. According to estimates at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, it is not a problem to feed two or three people per person. Now in Mukden, there is no more starving death, otherwise, the head of the civil affairs department would be the first official to be removed!

Don't worry about the long distance, we have already negotiated with the railway bureau that women and children will be able to ride the train to Mukden on the Gyeongbong Line for free, and adult men with their families will also enjoy half a ticket.

Those who do not want to work in agriculture and who have been working in the cities in the past do not have to worry, because now all kinds of factories and mines have sprung up in Fengtian, and there are also people in the cities who have brought people from various streets and provinces to provide food and clothing in the early days. Those who have a skill don't have to worry about a way out, Mukden is big enough to accommodate them.

Don't worry about being unfamiliar with the place, life there is the same as here. The vast majority of Northeast people are actually the descendants of the people of Zhili and Shandong Chuang Guandong. So, for the sake of life, for the sake of living with dignity, come with me to the Northeast! ”
