Chapter 396: The Refugee Question
I don't have the heart to stay in the barracks longer, since I returned to Nanchang; Before he could accompany the children properly, He Jianye took Zeng Da and rode directly back to his home in Nanchang;
In the small courtyard of the house, a few children had just learned to walk, and they were staggering around in the yard, followed by young mothers staring nervously at these little ones;
"Commander, why don't you go in?" He Jianye, who dismounted at the door, stood outside the gate, looking at a few children in the yard, and the smile on his face never went down; Zeng Da asked He Jianye in surprise in the back;
"Don't worry, see how happy the children are; Oh, you see, the dog is a year older than the big cow and the big girl; Always deliberately blocking people's ways, this kid ......" He Jianye pointed to a few children in the courtyard while watching;
"Oops, the master is back!" Finally, someone found He Jianye standing at the door in a daze and smirking, and several mothers picked up their children and greeted them in exclamation;
"Let the children play on their own, bring me a chair out;" He Jianye said,
"It's been a busy day outside, so let's wash up first! It's time to eat later, and the family can have a good meal when they come back early today. Hearing the movement, Qiao Xiang and Qiao Yi, two twins, came out of the living room and were busy fetching water for the master and washing their hands!
"This stinky sweat, I'll just take a shower and eat again!" The lord wants to take a bath, and naturally someone prepares hot water;
"Whew! It's so cool; He Jianye felt relaxed when he was lying in the bathtub,
After dinner, the children played for the day; After a while, I went to sleep; He Jianye was drinking tea in the living room and said to several women,
"Stay at home tomorrow for the day, and don't call me in the morning; It's hard to get a good night's sleep! Don't stay at home all day, go out and about; Especially Xiaolian and Qingya. ”
"Master, why don't we go out for a day tomorrow!" Wang Yue suggested,
"The child is too young, you three should go with the master!" Xiaoyi refused,
"Where have you not been to the whole of Nanchang? This army is in chaos, and it is not safe to go out of the city; Forget it, tomorrow have a good day's rest, I'll go to the study; You guys talk first. After He Jianye finished speaking, he got up and went to the study,
Just now, He Jianye saw Zeng Da looking at the door of the living room, estimating that something was wrong;
"What's the matter?" He Jianye asked,
"The master will come to Nanchang tomorrow, and the news has just arrived; Let you wait for him at the Nanchang Hotel at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Zeng Da said,
"Well, got it; By the way, let's set up the radio! It's in the study! In addition, let Lin Lao Er come to see me in the study. He Jianye said,
"Oh, then I'll go find Steward Lin first." Zeng Da left the study and did not close the door. This is basically He Jianye's inner house, except for a few middle-aged women doing chores; There is an old servant in the concierge at home;
Sitting on the chair in the study, He Jianye looked very lazy; After a year of fierce fighting on the battlefield, he suddenly returned to the rear; There is a feeling of wanting to sit alone forever, not caring about anything, doing nothing, just sitting like this;
"Second master," Lin Laoer's voice came from the door, Lin Laoer is also thirty years old this year, and after a few years of rushing, people seem to be older than they are;
"You know the supplies at home best, tell me how much food reserves there are now; Are medicines and medical devices prepared? He Jianye asked,
"200,000 tons of grain were shipped from Guangzhou last month, and now is the summer grain harvest season; There is no shortage of food at home, but there are not many medicines and medical equipment, and that thing is too expensive; It's hard to get it domestic, and it's consumed quickly! Lin Lao Er said,
"Let Lin Bo get more medicines and medical equipment to transport back, that thing is expensive in China; But in Europe and the United States, it should be fine. He Jianye said,
"This month and next month, two ships are going to arrive at the port of Guangzhou, with supplies from the United States; There are a lot of medicines and medical equipment, as well as some copper plates, and my father said that from next month, the ships sent back to China will only have food and medicine, and the Americans' China policy is now being adjusted; Moreover, the American factory is operating at a loss, and a large number of materials are shipped back to China; American workers are not getting the dividends of factory development, and complaints are now increasing. Lin Lao Er said what he knew,
"Except for medicine, let's stop for something else! Don't be angry, Fuye Pharmaceutical's details controlled by the Chinese; Annoying the Americans, we have no benefit. He Jianye said,
"In that case, the situation will be better, and there will be no need to send ocean-going freighters; Tomorrow, the master will also come to Nanchang to see how it works, and you will discuss it when the time comes; This change is a bit big, and my father's side has to adjust it too. Lin Lao Er said,
"Well, tomorrow you will come with me to pick up my eldest brother. Rest early. "I don't know why, why did He Jianye feel sleepy so early today, could it be that after suddenly relaxing, his body felt so tired.
The young body can't stand it**, especially at the same time as the twin sisters**; He Jianye, who had made up his mind to sleep well tonight, didn't get up the next morning, and even gave up the continuous morning exercise, and slept directly until the sun was shining; Seeing that the time to pick up the eldest brother was approaching, he was woken up by his wife;
"Why can't the port of Guangzhou be used? So how will we bring in the supplies that we will bring in from the United States in the future? At the Nanchang Hotel, He Fuchu asked He Jianye in surprise;
"Don't look at the ongoing confrontation between the national army and the Japanese on the battlefield now, that is, the patience of the Japanese has not been exhausted; The navy and air force are the world of the Japanese, and the Japanese can land in Guangzhou at any time and cut the Guangdong-Hanzhou railway; Cut off the way for Chinese to get aid from Europe and the United States. He Jianye frowned and said,
"What then?" He Fuchu asked worriedly,
"The government has opened the Yunnan-Burma Highway, where may be our last passage; It must be arranged on the Yunnan-Burma Highway as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to receive any foreign aid in the future; In the short term, I am afraid that we can only rely on ourselves, so all strategic resources such as food and medicine must be strictly controlled; Nanchang, our Jiangxi people's own Nanchang! If the government does not abide by it, I will definitely abide by it; Even if the city is reduced to ruins, I will not let the Japanese get Nanchang. He Jianye's tone was full of determination,
"Hey, the Japanese are attacking Jiangxi in a big way; Second, don't force it; The main life is still there, and you can get anything back! He Fuchu was a little worried about He Jianye's condition;
"Don't worry! Big brother, I don't think about it that much. He Jianye said,
"The artillery instructors you sent back are very good, and you will have at least two artillery battalions available for a month at most; Should recruits continue to be drafted? Now that there are more and more refugees, recruiting new recruits can give their families a way to live. He Fuchu asked,
"How many people does our factory have now? Is there 200,000? He Jianye asked,
"Except for the fifty thousand recruits; The family members and the workers rely on our family for no less than 300,000 yuan to eat. He Fuchu said,
"These people consume at least 50,000 tons of grain a year, and the next few years will be difficult; I am afraid that there will be no chance of importing grain from abroad for at least two years; Big brother, do the math yourself! He Jianye is also very entangled, the Japanese occupy more and more places, refugees flee thousands of miles, and the government has no energy to manage these refugees, although there is still a little spare energy at home, but it will soon be drained by a steady stream of refugees, what should I do when the time comes?
