Pingyang County. The war was over for the inhabitants here. Some residents of Pingyang County have returned one after another. But for them, it's just the beginning.

The war destroyed many, many things, for example, their houses, their homes, many of their things were gone. The war has ruined many, many things. Although the IRA actively removed a large number of corpses and all kinds of garbage, it still took great difficulty to clean up the ruins of the war and rebuild after the war.

"What's that talking about?" The residents who were returning to their homes asked as they looked at the signs at the gates of the city. There are many types of notices, there are a variety of colors, and there are so many notices, this is the first time that the locals have encountered such a large number of notices.

"Oh. There's so much to say about this. You see, this is a council notice, which says, for every 100 households, select a representative, register, register, and then enter the local council, and then the local council elects a representative again to form the Binh Duong council. A literacy acquaintance explained. A lot of people nodded, but they didn't know what this council was for.

"This is a recruitment notice, and a brick factory is to be built nearby. A lot of labor is required. That's the Republican Army needs a large number of scholars, and the salary is twenty yuan a day. Tube a meal. There were women workers recruited there, mainly to field hospitals. There is also a job recruitment notice, which is recruited by the bank, and over there, there is a notice posted by the bank, which encourages some people to take out loans. Anyway, lots and lots to work there if you need to. Then the IRA pays you. You'll be able to buy grain. Lived down. Someone I know explains.

"Oh sounds great, but we don't understand. I don't know what people need? This. It's too hard. And, is there really a sale? "A lot of people are worried about asking this question.

"Yes, sure. Some of the delegates, as well as the IRA, will issue you some bills, which will be called food stamps for the time being. Anyway, the Republican Army will give it to you, and if you have food stamps and money, you can buy affordable food. Don't worry about the food going up too much, the IRA over there has been supplying food. The man explained. When the people around heard this, they were relieved.

In order to allow all people to have enough to eat, and at the same time to control the excessive rise in food prices, because the situation at this time is very special, just in the time when the green and yellow are not available, food has become extremely important. The IRA also had to maintain a certain scale of operations, as well as army attrition. In this way, the grain can basically only be maintained in a state of food and clothing. Lijiazhuang's attitude to the local government is that more people cannot starve to death, that is, to ensure that everyone is in a state of semi-food and clothing. This is a big problem for businessmen who are good at speculation.

Because there is so much food for you above, it is impossible to feed some people, and you can't starve people to death, and the only way is to curb speculation, but the local officials who were born as merchants know very well that it is impossible to suppress speculation, because it is too difficult. They know all too well how speculation came about. The only way to achieve such a situation is to give full play to the advantages of centralized government politics.

The local governments of the IRA were staffed by a military police of a certain size, not only to maintain law and order, but also to picket the troops, in order to prevent the army from raiding the area excessively. In this way, the local government is given a certain amount of power, and controlling the consumption of food becomes a kind of key, and the gendarmerie can do this.

Not only these, but the upgrading of printing technology, in particular, the emergence of the iron plate cylinder printing method, allowed them to manufacture a large number of bills. This provided technical support for the issuance of food stamps, and the only way they could do that was to bring people together in a short period of time to solve such problems, so that their problems could be solved.

Facts have proved that when the businessmen clearly intended to speculate, they solved some of these problems very well, and they properly handled such a series of problems. In such a situation, their situation would be very beneficial to them. That's the best situation for them at the moment.

Of course. Food stamps are only one of the links in solving some food supply problems, and the key to the problem is to recruit workers. Solving a large number of employment problems, if you can't invest in construction in time, this will cause great trouble.

The government will fund the construction of some infrastructure, mainly focusing on the removal of roads, rubble, and the normal operation of government work, which requires the recruitment of a large number of clerks, as well as a variety of staff. This can be regarded as solving part of the problem of personnel salary and compensation. With food stamps, they also need to be paid enough to pay for the food. The republican junta alone cannot accomplish such a thing.

They need to encourage private capital, as well as private forces, to do this. Post-war reconstruction work requires more private forces. Banks will play a big role in this.

It is near the county government in Pingyang County. It is the place where a large number of banks are concentrated, because it is the most spacious and the most advantageous. In the place with the largest number of people, a large number of people have to come to the Yamen area to go through all kinds of procedures with the personnel of the republican military government, and when they come out, they are very curious about the situation of the bank, and they begin to come into contact with some such conditions.

"This, is this okay? When the Republican Army was fighting, a ** bag blew up our house. This is not to blame the Republican Army. At that time, no one could prove this, and it was considered their own bad luck. But I can prove that the land is mine, and that, the houses on it are in ruins. This, is this possible? A young man from Pingyang County said worriedly. But when the war came, they luckily hid in the homes of relatives in the countryside, where it happened to be under the control of the Republican Army, so they also had a good impression of the Republican Army, because the Republican Army was not the same as the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, they robbed at will. No, they never dared to do such a thing, and they were very kind to the soldiers who wore white armbands with the word "gendarmerie" written on them. Because they saw with their own eyes that a soldier who tried to steal was caught and dealt with by the gendarmes. The discipline of the Republican Army was maintained by these gendarmes. With this feeling, they naturally believed in the IRA's ability to govern. Because they really don't do anything too out of the ordinary.

"Don't worry. My house, too, is the house that my grandfather left me. Who has ever thought about it, a fire burned to that shape, no, I am also worried, how to build this house. Don't say it, it's really affected me. A companion in front of him said.

"What's the matter with you, the Republican Army for our situation, at most, just write a paperwork, and then take the paperwork to the bank, no, this row is full of banks, at that time, as soon as I went out, I was holding a paperwork in my hand, and I thought. I don't think I can ask for this house. Who would want to. The people from the bank dragged them over in one fell swoop. When people saw that I had paperwork, they rushed to give me money, and I was blinded at once, and I didn't know what was going on. Said my companion.

"This. What's going on? Tell me about it. The other party asked curiously.

Later, when I asked, I learned that the land under the house was still yours, which was also a kind of deed, that is, you still had a lot of usufruct rights. And the bank told me that this Pingyang county town, the geographical location is good, maybe the opportunity to develop with Handan in the future is the same, I heard that Handan side, the original city wall was demolished. The development is very good, very hot. Said my companion.

"What? The walls were demolished. This, can this live? What if the Huns called? This Pingyang can't live anymore. The man said anxiously.

"I said, brother, I heard that I was done. As long as you have the paperwork in your hand to prove that the title deed is yours, you can wait to get rich. The companion said with a smile, and it seemed that he was very excited, of course he was excited. Because they're really going to get rich. Can he not be excited? In such a situation, as long as they do a little better, a lot of their things can actually be carried out, and these are some of the most important things for them at the moment.

"Get rich, I'm still rich, I'll dream." The man apparently did not have a lot of confidence in the post-war reconstruction, after all, such a situation would make their situation even more unfavorable.

"I'm telling you, don't follow anyone else, and you have to listen to me patiently, don't get excited." The companion said this, and the man nodded hurriedly, and it seemed that his companion was mysterious. He didn't know what to say, but he knew that it must be something that would make him rich, and as long as it could keep him from losing, he would be very happy.

"I've heard that. On the side of Handan, the situation at the beginning was the same as ours, and the entire county was in tatters. But the people demolished the city wall. Guess what, in a few months, that place, it's just like another place, it is estimated that Luoyang, the capital division, is not as good as Handan, there were tens of thousands of people there, and there were so many people who died, but you know, how many people are there now? The companion whispered.

"How much?" The man asked, puzzled.

"Guess what. You can't imagine it. The companion said with a smile.

"You'd better tell me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have guessed anything. You know. The man said.

"At least that." The companion said with three fingers.

"Three thousand?" The man was not surprised at all, because logically speaking, when the city wall was demolished, there would be fewer people. Because of a lack of security. Therefore, to have 3,000 people, he feels that it is up to the sky.

"Three hundred thousand. At least 300,000. Maybe now it's more than 400,000 all at once. Said my companion. The man's heart contracted suddenly, and he was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand. Because when he heard such a number, he felt that it was a good thing that was impossible at all, how could it be, he would not believe that there were 300,000 people, and these 300,000 people were simply impossible, so under such circumstances, many situations would change a lot. He thought it was impossible.

"This, is this possible? 300,000. The man said anxiously. It's a little louder. The companion hurriedly covered the other's mouth, as if all the people would get rich when they heard such news.

"Be quiet, tell you, it's completely possible, don't you know, there's an arsenal built there, an arsenal, there are more than 10,000 people, plus the family, to say the least, there are more than 40,000 people. Not only that, but there is also encouragement to do business, that is, as long as you make money from trading, you will definitely be able to develop. The republican junta absolutely guarantees your safety. Don't worry, I've got you covered. The development of the Republican Army here, not to mention, is all elite troops, and there are more than 70,000 people. They had cannons, muskets, these things, and they sounded like thunder. The Huns were afraid and did not dare to come at all. With them guarding us, we don't have to worry about it at all. Said my companion.

"And, as soon as the wall is demolished, I think. We will definitely build an arsenal here, you want so many people, this weapon is needed, you look at the notice at the city gate, how many are recruiting. This shows that there will be more and more people, they need to eat, drink, and a place to live, as long as you have a place, you will not starve to death, you can sell the land, get a capital, buy land in some places outside the city, it is really not possible, you do business with people. I think it's better to be an inn, so many people will stay here. Also, it's good to be a tavern. Said my companion.

"But the money?" The man sounded unreliable, but he still felt that he should ask.

"The bank. As long as you have land in your hands, you can mortgage it, the interest rate is very low, much cheaper than usury, and most importantly, people don't calculate compound interest rates for you. The interest rate is very low, you just have to give the interest to the person. Where do you go to borrow money and get such a good place to go? The companion said excitedly. It seems that he has seen an opportunity to make a fortune.

"But I don't think this thing is reliable." The man said.

"Oh, you just don't believe in the IRA, tell you, you believe in the IRA, and nothing is left. Believe me. The companion said excitedly. Obviously, this companion was very discerning, because he saw the prospects for the development of the Republican Army coming. Through the description of the bankers, he knew the different situations of the development of the outside world, and he keenly felt that if Pingyang County, like Handan, had such a huge opportunity to develop, they would definitely develop, and under such a general trend, their development situation would definitely be much better than before, so in such a situation, he decided to do a big job.

Determination alone, and ideas are not enough, the key is this. funding, as well as related legal guarantees.

The law of the Republican Army, the companion is understood, he knows it clearly. The IRA is sacrosanct in protecting private property. This means that there are no more houses. But the land is still his, and this is a valuable asset.

If Pingyang County needs to develop, it will inevitably need a lot of land, plus the population advantage here, and other advantages. This will make Pingyang County develop rapidly. He saw such a prospect, such a prospect was very beneficial to him, and he felt that he could do such a situation. Of course. Such a situation will also make their development more favorable, which is an important idea for them.

It's good to have that idea, but it also needs some important support, for example, they need more and more money, and they can't do anything without it. This is common sense and consensus.

The commercial banks of the Republican Army, first of all, provided such help, and they saw such a business opportunity.

In the post-war Hedong region, although there was a great deal of passivity. However, if they see the determination of the IRA to occupy the east of the river, they will think that the IRA will have a strong hope of developing such a piece of land. It is precisely this kind of hope that the banks believe that their profits are very large. Coupled with the policy tilt, the government is the main force in purchasing commercial bank bonds. With the support of the government, the commercial banks have ample funds to make large-scale purchases, and in such a situation, their development will become much more profitable. In this case, their development will be very profitable. That's what they're able to do right now.

Binh Duong's development, if it were without the development of the bank, would not have been able to do such a thing, and the banks have also realized their prospects, and for the sake of such prospects, they have also actively played their own role, and as a result, this is their current situation.

On the other hand, the parliament is also actively underway, although many people don't know what this parliament is and what the parliamentarians do, but they think that it is very good to be able to include all the people in the parliament, and to be able to let the government hear their own opinions and opinions, and they think it is very good, and they can accept it. The parliamentary system was probably first accepted here. This may be a situation that the top brass of the IRA did not expect.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"The imperial court will be very annoyed when it sees such an article, but annoyance is annoyance, I think we should take many issues seriously. Let's see if the imperial court will have any other way to solve such a problem. Jia Xu said worriedly.

"Well, yes, definitely will, but to what extent they will solve it, we don't know yet." Shang Wu said.

"What I think is this, since the imperial court can't beat us in weapons, it may re-select some generals to deal with it. In this way, they can be regarded as a kind of oppression on us. Judging from the current situation, if the imperial court can put down the rebellion in Xiliang, he will withdraw his hand and attack our Hedong region, and by attacking the Hedong region, he will put pressure on us, and through such pressure, let us realize the seriousness of the problem. Jia Xu said. Shang Wu looked at the map and nodded, he also felt that there was such a possibility.

"In terms of some of the current problems, it seems that this is the only way." Shang Wu said.

The imperial court can only solve the problem of Hedong by withdrawing from the Guanzhong region, and this time difference gives Shangwu an important time to consolidate and develop, they must seize such a favorable time to actively develop Hedong, and then they can have a greater impact on their next military action, such an impact is inevitable and necessary, if they can have such a development, it will be of great help to them. This is also the situation that they need most at the moment.

Jia Xu's analysis is correct, because he saw such a time difference, and Shang Wu also saw such a time difference, because such a time difference does exist.

"This is the time for us to take advantage of development." Shang Wu said.

"It seems that we still need to actively prepare for the war, which is still very big for our food pressure." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"No, I don't think it's very stressful. If you think about it, if we have cavalry, we can fight on the outside line, for example, to the west of the river, or to the rear of the official army, and this kind of pressure will inevitably disrupt the rhythm of the official army, and once our rhythm is disrupted, we will have the opportunity to bring our rhythm into their state. What do you think? Shang Wu asked.

"It's a very good idea, and it's a very good idea for us." Jia Xu said.

"So, we still have a big advantage." Shang Wu said.

"Sir, this is a telegram from Chief Cao." Just then, the staff officer came in and reported.

"Oh." Shang Wu felt a little surprised, Chief Cao, it was Cao Cao. Shang Wu opened the telegram and read it.

Cao Cao said that the imperial court had given an order. Let him go back. Shang Wu said.

"It seems that the pressure on our editorials is still relatively high. Cao Cao can only be called back. Jia Xu said.

"Well, Cao Cao is very different from other officers, he knows the huge gap between our republican army and the imperial court, but it is difficult to change such a point. Let him go back. Shang Wu said.

"Aren't you afraid of a competitor in the future?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu.

"I'm afraid. However, it's a good thing to have a competitor because we can grow a little faster. This era needs people like him, and we kill them. It doesn't make any sense. Shang Wu shook his head and said.

"Let him go back. He belonged there. Shang Wu said.
