In the blink of an eye, it was almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The atmosphere of the New Year in Yanjing City has not yet dissipated, and every household is preparing for the upcoming Lantern Festival.

At this time, Professor Ma Yuzao did not plan to go to Sichuan and Shu Province with Zhang Zongqing and Ma Yu to worship his ancestors because of the opening of the school.

Therefore, under the arrangement of the professor's wife, Zhang Zongqing and Ma Yu prepared to go to Sichuan and Shu Province to worship their ancestors on behalf of Professor Ma Yuzao according to the predetermined plan.

Although this trip to Sichuan and Shu was to worship Ma Yu's father on behalf of his ancestors, Zhang Zongqing was also to fulfill Ma Yu's careful wish.

Ma Yu was brought up by her grandmother since she was a child, and now that Ma Yu is about to get married, she naturally wants her grandmother to know.

Shortly after the passenger plane took off from Yanjing Airport, Ma Yu fell asleep early.

Zhang Zongqing put Ma Yu's little head on his shoulder, and looked at Ma Yu, who was sleeping extremely sweetly, and he smiled softly.

However, when Zhang Zongqing's gaze retracted and rested on the newspaper in his hand again, his gaze became a little serious.

Different from another era, the drought in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions has long been eliminated with Zhang Zongqing's strong relief.

Tens of millions of people in the Gansu and Shaanxi areas were also able to survive because of Zhang Zongqing's strong disaster relief.

However, in the current era, it seems that there is no shortage of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

In Zhang Zongqing's impression, the great drought in Sichuan and Shu that occurred from 1936 to 1937 seems to have occurred in Sichuan and Shu Province in advance in this parallel world.

Looking at the photos of these hungry people in Ta Kung Pao, Zhang Zongqing's hands trembled slightly.

"Xing, the people are bitter!"

"Death, the people are suffering!"

This sentence has never changed since ancient times.

Sichuan and Shu Province in ancient times had the reputation of "the land of abundance", who would have thought that in this era, there would be a natural disaster that affected almost half of the population of Sichuan and Shu Province?

Of course, in addition to natural disasters, there are more man-made disasters.

After all, years of warlord scuffle, exorbitant taxes, etc., are enough to directly crush too many ordinary people.

In his previous life, Zhang Zongqing had seen photos of the famine in Sichuan and Shu provinces.

But compared with these photos that appear in Ta Kung Pao now, the sense of the times is gradually blurred, and it is more empathetic.

The famine is a painful memory that the Chinese people will never be able to erase.

It is in the 21st century that this problem is gradually being solved.

If the natural disasters in Sichuan and Shu Province are not dealt with as soon as possible, the disasters encountered in Sichuan and Shu Province will not be lighter than those in Gansu and Shaanxi.

While thinking like this, Zhang Zongqing's passenger plane slowly landed at the airport near Chengdu.

At this time, the guard company led by Zhang Dabiao was secretly protecting the second son, Zhang Zongqing and Ma Yu.

So Zhang Zongqing and Ma Yu packed up some things and traveled lightly in the direction where the Ma clan was located.

The jurisdiction of the Ma clan is the territory of Yang Lin, a very famous warlord in Sichuan and Shu Province.

As a well-known warlord in Sichuan and Shu Province, Yang Lin has a mixed reputation.

If it weren't for another period of history, Yang Lin could be regarded as a meritorious member of the Anti-Japanese War, and Zhang Zongqing would have scolded this guy a few words.

Among the warlords of China, Yang Lin was famous for his large number of wives and concubines and many children.

He alone has 12 wives and concubines, and a total of 43 children.

Many of the concubines were snatched by Yang Lin through various means.

There are many of them, who were executed by Yang Lin to Zhijie.

To use an extremely fashionable phrase, it is not an exaggeration for Yang Lin to be called an "old color critic".

You must know that when half of this guy's body was about to go into the ground, he also deceived a seventeen-year-old female student.

Of course, in addition, Yang Lin's various cruelty and greed are also outrageous.

Just because he killed several wives, he knew that this person was really a person with a complex personality.

But if Zhang Zongqing knew about this guy, he dared to put his hand on his disaster relief materials.

Zhang Zongqing didn't mind killing Yang Lin with his own hands to appease the victims in Sichuan and Shu Province.

……

Walking on the way to the Ma clan, Zhang Zongqing could see the ragged people of Sichuan and Shu Province wandering around.

However, it is not yet at the end of the mountain.

At least these people can still hope that spring will come, and the leaves, bark and roots of the trees on the mountain will be satisfied.

It has not yet reached the point of swallowing Guanyin soil and using it to fill the stomach.

But even so, Zhang Zongqing's brows were still wrinkled tightly like an iron lock.

Now the situation of these people in Sichuan and Shu Province, he once saw it in the Ganshan area.

If there is no strong and organized disaster relief and relief, I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Most people living in the 21st century are in a state of worry-free life.

They will probably never know what kind of hell it is to starve and eat at every turn.

Famine is always the most direct way to turn the world into hell.

In fact, in another period of history, about 5 million people were starved to death in Sichuan and Shu Province alone.

The report sent back by the reporter from the scene at the time was like this.

"There is no place in the county that is not affected by drought, and about 180......,000 people feed on bark, grass, roots, and white mud."

"The people's food panic has reached the extreme......"

"If you don't experience the disaster area, you won't believe that Sichuan and Shu Province will be called the country of abundance, and the people's lives will be reduced to this, and I am afraid that it will be similar to the country of Yama and ghosts......" ”

And this is also the reason why Zhang Zongqing hates and will not tolerate those corrupt officials who dare to be greedy for disaster relief materials.

If you are powerless to help the disaster, it is a curse that you are powerless to return to heaven.

But to be able to let millions of people escape the fate of starvation, but because of the greed of some people, thousands of people are starved to death, then this is a sin that cannot be washed away

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road."

This is the truest portrayal of the famine era.

Except, of course, for the sake of natural disasters.

The warlords in Sichuan and Shu Province have been divided for many years, and the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes have forced the people into a desperate situation.

"Brother Zhang~"

Ma Yu looked at these ordinary people who were starving to death, and then looked at Zhang Zongqing.

Zhang Zongqing naturally knew what Ma Yu meant, but even if he saved these people now, what would happen to the tens of millions of victims in Sichuan and Shu Province?

In the final analysis, Zhang Zongqing still has to use thunderous means to solve the most fundamental problem.

Only by removing the tumors that led to the expansion of these natural disasters can the people of Sichuan and Shu Province be rescued from hell on earth.

"These victims are not starving to death for the time being, and helping them now is just a drop in the bucket and salary."

"The fundamental problem is to open up the road of disaster relief between Sichuan and Shu Province and the outside world, and at the same time kill a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials to deter some people."

"Believe me, they will still be alive and kicking in this world next year."

Zhang Zongqing did not carry dry food at this time, so it is unrealistic to say that it is not practical to provide them with relief now.
