When Zhou Hexuan was writing "Chrysanthemum and Knife", Sun Liangcheng, who had just taken office as chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, was so worried all day long that he wanted to buy a piece of tofu to crash to death. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

What Sun Liangcheng inherited was Shandong, the biggest mess in the country today.

Since the disaster in Shandong last year, the situation has not only not improved, but the situation has gotten worse and worse.

Last year, Zhang Zongchang ordered a special donation of one yuan for disaster relief of one tael per ding, but most of the money collected was used as military expenses. Immediately, in the name of "transfer of relief", Zhang Zongchang deducted the wages of his military and political personnel, deducting 30 percent at least and 50 percent at most, but the money was actually used to celebrate Zhang Zongchang's father's birthday, which was jokingly called "birthday donation".

This bastard guy doesn't care about the lives of the victims at all, and is purely taking advantage of the catastrophe to make money.

The only way out for the victims of the earthquake in Shandong is to break into the eastern part of the country, and Zhang Zuolin has done a good job in this regard, arranging a lot of special trains to transport the victims of Shandong to the northeast free of charge. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin sold grain from Northeast China at a low price and transported it to Shandong by sea, which was called "red grain".

But now Shandong was occupied by the Northern Expeditionary Army, the special train to the eastern part of the country was suspended, and the "red grain" for disaster relief was cut off immediately, and the hopes of the victims of the disaster in Shandong were once again dashed.

Compared with the corrupt Beiyang warlords, the Nanjing Nationalist Government was somewhat of a government. When only part of Lunan was occupied, Nanjing set up a disaster relief committee to actively help the victims under its control.

The problem is that there are too many victims!

The orderly hurriedly walked into the office, saluted and said: "Report to the chairman, the four counties of Zichuan, Dongping, Changyi, and Qingyun have sent telegrams, requesting the provincial government to allocate funds for disaster relief. ”

"Another telegram requesting disaster relief!"

Sun Liangcheng was so angry that he dropped his pen and said depressedly: "I, the chairman of Shandong Province, am about to become a disaster relief commissioner. ”

Sun Liangcheng is definitely the most pitiful provincial governor of the Republic of China, and Shandong under his rule is starving, but the provincial government has only a few tens of thousands of yuan left, and the money and grain depots are so empty that they don't even want to live in mice.

In the days that followed, Sun Liangcheng convened a meeting with his subordinates to discuss detailed disaster relief matters.

He first set up the Zhongxing Coal Mine Consolidation Committee, and forced an additional 1 yuan per ton of coal to be donated by Shandong, with a ceiling of 100,000 tons.

But the money was still not enough, and Sun Liangcheng even hit the idea of opium and cigarettes, ordering the counties to change the tobacco fines into disaster relief funds, and to collect charitable donations from cigarette smokers (this move was full of complaints and was later abolished by Nanjing).

At the same time, Sun Liangcheng also called on private merchants and charitable organizations to actively organize charity relief activities to save themselves.

……

Shanghe County, Shandong.

Wealthy businessmen from all over the county gathered together and set up a charity association. There are countless charity associations like this in Shandong -- the government is not good at treatment, and everyone can only choose to save themselves.

If the famine is allowed to continue, the business of the merchants will not be easy, and the more hungry people there are, the more bandits will be. On the one hand, out of kindness, and on the other hand, out of long-term considerations, the wealthy businessmen hoped that the disaster would be brought under control as soon as possible.

In the past, when Zhang Zongchang was in charge of Shandong, there were too many moths, and everyone's enthusiasm for disaster relief was not high. Now that the Kuomintang is here and has issued a decree calling for non-governmental charity, the people of Shandong are boiling in an instant.

"I'll pay 800 yuan."

"I'll give 1000."

"I donate one-tenth of the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy."

"I'll give 30,000 catties of grain."

"Hey, Master Zhang is really generous!"

“……”

Many wealthy businessmen enthusiastically donated money and materials, some were stingy and only donated a few hundred yuan, and some people spent a lot of money.

At the end, someone suddenly said, "It's not enough for us alone, we have to organize everyone to donate together." ”

"Why don't we learn from the charity association in Jinan last year and hold a fundraising and amusement conference?"

"This method is good, Jinan's fundraising and amusement conference is very successful. I went to see it at the time, and it was so crowded that it almost cost me my life. In three days, 50,000 yuan was raised. ”

"But the famous Peking Opera actors in Shandong basically live in Jinan. Now that Jinan City is occupied by the Japanese, where can we go to invite the singers? ”

"It's better to go to Beiping and Tianjin, there are more famous people there."

"Will they come?"

"Whether they come or not, send a telegram of invitation first. This is doing charity, and there are always some willing to participate. ”

"Why don't you ask the Red Cross and the Red Cross to come forward and issue invitations in their name?"

"Yes, yes, let the Red Cross please!"

……

Zhou Hexuan's family, four women gathered together.

As a famous Peking Opera actor who is popular all over Beijing and Tianjin, Meng Xiaodong naturally received an invitation. However, the most bizarre thing is that Zhou Hexuan, a literati scholar, actually received a telegram inviting charity.

Zhou Hexuan's good name has spread to Shandong with the mouths of the victims who were helped by him.

"Brother Zhou, should I go?" Meng Xiaodong asked.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Do you want to go?" ”

Meng Xiaodong said worriedly: "I kind of want to go, after all, it's a good deed." But there was a war going on at the front, and I heard that Tianjin was about to be surrounded. ”

"Don't worry about this, take a boat directly from Tianjin Port to Shandong, you don't need to go through the front line." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Then I'll go." Meng Xiaodong nodded.

Zhou Hexuan looked at the telegraph in his hand, thought for a while and said, "I'll go too, Le Yi will stay in Tianjin to manage the radio station, and Yaquan and Wanrong will go with me." ”

"Shall we go too?" Wanrong was surprised.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "You are a celebrity." Whether it is the identity of the queen or the identity of the author of "Sanmao", it can inspire the masses to pay for disaster relief. Let's go to Shandong this time, not only to participate in the charity performance in Shanghe County, but also to perform all the way to the past. Playing him dozens of times, and all the income is used to help the victims, how meaningful it is. Xiaodong, you send a telegram to ask your family, see if there is anyone in Chun and Ban who wants to be together, let's go to Shandong together. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll ask." Meng Xiaodong was happy. She doesn't worry about food and clothing, she can do good deeds, and she is accompanied by Zhou Hexuan all the way, which is much more interesting than singing every day.

Meng Xiaodong sent a telegram home, and after a meeting and discussion with her family, they unanimously decided to go to Shandong for disaster relief.

Meng Hongrong, the head of the class, thinks a lot, now is the most difficult time for the people of Shandong, as long as the spring and the class send charcoal in the snow, they will inevitably become famous in Shandong. When Shandong's people's livelihood recovers, I don't know how many people will rush to invite the spring and class to sing in the future, and this business will not be a loss!

In mid-May, Zhou Hexuan, Wanrong, Liao Yaquan, Meng Xiaodong, as well as Ta Kung Pao reporters and members of the entire Chunhe class, collectively took a boat from Tianjin to Dalian, and then went straight to Shanghe County by land.

Only Zhang Leyi stayed in Tianjin, and the radio station needed someone to guard it, and the program "Gossip at 7 O'clock in the Night" was also substituted by Zhang Leyi.
