Therefore, it is generally believed that the imperial grandson is different from his father, and he is very angry, and when the emperor is in power, he is optimistic about this grandson, and even once the anti-prince forces pinned their hopes on Zhou Gu to directly bypass his father to ascend the throne, but the conservative faction is worried that it will repeat the mistakes of Emperor Jianwen, and the anti-prince forces are mainly against the interference of foreign relatives, and the prince himself is a symbol, and the grandson is still this symbol, and the relationship with the foreign relatives is equally close.

I don't know if it's because of this, the crown prince has always disliked this twilight son, otherwise he wouldn't have been pressed to stay in Manipur, a place where birds don't, for twenty years.

When Zhou Gu arrived in India, he made a controversial decision to establish contact with the ethnic forces on the Indian peninsula, supporting them with weapons and equipment, and allowing their rebels to fight in conjunction with the Chinese army. He made agreements with certain powers that he did not agree with the independence demanded by the Indian national powers, but promised to allow them to govern themselves under Chinese rule after the war.

This did not satisfy all the national forces, but Zhou Gu only needed one faction to support him, and whoever supported him, he supported whom. Whoever he supports, he is strong.

So a group of self-proclaimed Indian Independence Army (ISA) began to grow stronger, led by a group of business leaders who benefited from the business networks created by the British, but who did not choose to be the lackeys of the British, but who remained silent for national independence.

The army fought on the front line, and Zhou Gu sat in the rear, on the one hand, together with the African company, tried to restore transportation and restore the supply of materials. He even worked with local British and other European business powers, who also had a complex web of business at their disposal. It was difficult for African companies alone to distribute huge quantities of food to every hungry person in British India, where they were unfamiliar.

African companies buy large quantities of food from China, Africa and Australia, and then sell it through local business networks. This has greatly depressed the price of food in the local area, and the poor are gradually able to afford to eat. At the same time, the rebuilt commercial network also transported locally produced cotton, indigo and cane sugar.

Zhou Gu was not in a hurry to take action militarily, but patiently spent a month acting as a private business network, but the African companies were in a hurry, they only had half a year, but now more than four months have passed, and there are only fifty days left, but most of British India is still in the hands of the British army.

After Zhou Gu stabilized his business network, he then began to contact the local princely states, and he promised these princes that he would respect the traditions, and that these princely states would remain independent, and that what was the case with Britain in the past, and what is now the case with China, will not interfere with and deprive the princes of the princely states.

The condition was that the princely states could no longer support the British. Under British rule, princely princes rarely had large armies, so it was considered worthless to co-opt them, so the military did not engage in much co-opting activities.

However, after Zhou Gu succeeded in winning over the surrounding princely states, the situation was greatly reversed, although these people could not provide direct military support for the army, but they could provide intelligence, and if necessary, they could attack the British army through their territory in a roundabout way, and the British troops stationed in these princely states, the distribution of troops, firepower, were sent to the hands of the officers of the African company by these princely states.

Zhou Gu basically achieved that when the army occupied a place, he could pacify a place, and the public order problem was greatly improved. He also recruited a large number of puppet soldiers, not for combat, mainly to maintain law and order, only issued cold weapons, did not train, and patrolled the streets every day, explaining that instead of using a large amount of money to relieve refugees, it is better to organize a small number of refugees to maintain law and order and deter most refugees. It's not that Zhou is ruthless, it's just that he really has no way to help everyone.

The problem of refugees is very serious, there are many bankrupt peasants, who have left the countryside and are pouring into the cities, and it will take a process to restore the economy, and these people have already broken away from the old system, which has led to the slow recovery of the old system.

At first, he hoped that the church would help resettle some of the refugees, but when the war ended, he found that a local Indian church was distributing relief and asking believers to help build the damaged temple.

So he negotiated with all the churches and asked them to hire refugees to build a large number of buildings, not to pay them, as long as they could eat. He even threatened these churches, warning them to close them if they didn't obey. His threats worked, because he had soldiers in his hands, and he was not religious, and he was not afraid of the sins of the gods and Buddhas. And there are many religions in India, which creates a kind of competition for believers, and if Christianity is helping refugees, Hindus don't care, what will their believers think. What would the believers think if Islam was saving the believers and Sikhism didn't care?

But the funds of the Church are limited after all, especially those of the European Churches, and their funds in India, most of which are even collected by European believers, are so tight that they come to the East to spread the glory of God, not to help everyone aimlessly, although they do not refuse to save people, but they are not capable.

Zhou Gu knew that these difficulties were the truth and were easy to handle, so he introduced banks to lend money to these churches. Why introduce banks to lend to churches instead of directly to refugees, this involves a credit problem, lending to churches, that's a business, lending to refugees is really charity, bankers are not philanthropists, they want to make money. Compared to individuals, the church is an organization that will not go bankrupt, it has a government credit guarantee, of course, it is an occupation junta, and the war is not over, so this government may not be able to stay here forever, so this risk is very great. The risk is high, of course, the interest will be very high, and the interest of one and a half percent is the price of human affection, which is based on the benevolent face of the emperor's grandson.

Why guarantee to lend money to the church to do these things that buy hearts and minds, instead of just letting the government do it? That's because the government can't do it, and the government takes in many more refugees than the church. That's why he went to the church, and in this state of economic collapse, Zhou Gu really couldn't find other organizations that could do this kind of thing regardless of profit or loss, only the purpose of the church was similar to that of the government, and interests were put on the back burner.

Inspired by the Church, the government also began large-scale municipal works, repairing roads damaged during the war, repairing ports and wharves, and repairing government offices. Funding was allocated to allow the school to continue operations and the hospital to resume normal operations. Government institutions were restored, and police stations and courts were the first to be restored.

Although the government can do these things with certain results, it is not profitable and unsustainable, just like religion to save people. It is a temporary measure, not a commercial order.

So Zhou Gu felt that industry and commerce should be restored, so that order could be restored through continuous profits, and he encouraged shops and merchants to open their doors for business. Encourage new stores and factories.

But the effect was not obvious, and after the outbreak of the war, the capitalists all managed to escape. Europeans, all who can run are running back to Europe by boat. Some of the local merchants even fled to Europe, or went back to the countryside to hide. Later, there was a famine in the countryside, and those who were not killed by the hungry people did not know where they had gone. Even if they go back to the city, they may all be bankrupt. And even if they have capital, they don't plan to resume business immediately, this is during the war, and the hell knows that the shell will hit again.

In order to restore the employment of workers, Zhou Gu took emergency measures and auctioned off assets. First, a large number of official assets of the British colonial government were auctioned at low prices to attract surrounding capitalists to buy the bottom. Attracting investment from China, the company's Indian territory, Assam and Manipur.

The British and Indian governments hold a large number of fixed assets, and the British are good at land finance, and they hold a large amount of public land in their hands, and it is a huge asset to be auctioned out, but the government does not want this urgent fund, but it wants to invest in solving the employment problem, so the pricing is very low, and there are relevant conditions, and the corresponding area of land must provide a corresponding number of jobs.

As a result, a large number of port terminals, railways, and locomotive factories were auctioned off to the capitalists at a low price. A large amount of public land was sold cheaply to merchants, even if they built mansions and overhauled civil works, which would solve the employment problem.

But the biggest killer feature was the organized resumption of production, and he negotiated with the local Chamber of Europeans and the Chamber of Commerce of Indians, telling them that their industries must resume production within a month, otherwise the government would revoke their business licenses according to the business registration. Even more ruthless to the Europeans, if they are not willing to open within the time limit, they will directly auction their assets, especially those factories, because it can solve a large number of employment problems, and if they do not start work, it will be a huge loss.

If these people are willing to open their businesses, the occupying forces will help them solve their problems, including the supply of raw materials, law and order, while also protecting their private property.

The lure of low-priced public assets, the confiscation of property, the threat of revocation of permits, the resumption of a large number of commercial establishments in a short period of time, the return of a large number of workers to work, and the search for work of a large number of refugees.

Of course, there are still many problems, after all, this is a relatively independent economy, and after this economy is completely separated from the old business system, it is difficult to graft it back into the new economic system. Zhou Gu set up an economic recovery committee and invited some big businessmen to work with the officials of the occupation junta.

The wharf began to operate, the raw material problem could be partially solved, raw materials could be purchased from nearby company territories, some raw materials could also be purchased from local villages, and primary processing industries such as cotton yarn factories began to recover. But where does the product go? In the past, cotton and cotton yarn were also exported to China, but most of them were used to meet the British market, and now the world's number one cotton yarn importer Britain has severed its economic ties with Asia.
