Chapter 134: Caught in trouble
Mukden Consultative Bureau.
The small western-style building of the three cities is hung with the Fengtian Advisory Bureau, five big characters in gold, and the luxury of the appearance is difficult to cover up the desertion of the Fengtian Advisory Bureau.
In addition to the tireless east wind whizzing, there was no sound outside the door of the Advisory Bureau, and it had been almost half a year since the establishment of the Advisory Bureau.
After coming to Fengtian, Xiliang's body was getting worse day by day, and he walked out of the advisory bureau with a crutch and coughed a few times: "No matter how good the building is, it's just an ornament." I didn't want to prepare for the constitutional door. ”
In the spring of 1909, in order to alleviate class contradictions, the Qing government implemented the so-called "preparatory imitation constitution" in the political system, and the provinces set up advisory bureaus.
Wu Jinglian, director of the Advisory Bureau, and Yuan Jinkai, deputy director of the bureau, both of them were big names in the Northeast in later generations, but now they are just idlers.
Wu Jinglian is very famous in Fengtian, and his ancestors are even more famous Wu Sangui, in the political arena of the Republic of China, Wu Jinglian is a pivotal figure, four times as the speaker of the National Assembly, in terms of his political status, in the early 20th century Northeast celebrities, only Zhang Zuolin and his son can be compared. When he was young, he organized a militia in his hometown of Ningyuan (Fengtian, Liaoning) to resist Russia and was deeply loved by the people of his hometown.
As for Yuan Jinkai, who served as Zhao Erxun and Zhang Zuolin's staff in the parallel world, after the Japanese entered the Northeast in the normal world, they committed a despicable traitorous act, and they were also from the Advisory Bureau, but the gap between the two is so big. In the words of viagra Fan Wei, why is the gap between the same Northeast people so big.
"Lord Governor, what a letter of help!" Chen Eun had been following Xiliang's side.
"Ahem"
After entering the spring, Xiliang's old problem tracheitis found him again, and a spring breeze blew, and he couldn't help coughing: "I didn't expect this He Huchen to be able to ask for someone?" ”
Chen Yan's character is straightforward. At that time, when Xiliang allocated 200,000 immigrants to Dongmeng, Chen Eun disagreed, and now in addition to Dongmeng's difficulties, he didn't feel good about it: "My lord, you see that the number of these 200,000 immigrants is indeed too large for Dongmeng, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Japanese and the banks of Tsarist Russia also hoarded grain to seek huge profits. At this time, if we don't help, it's a bit too much. ”
Listening to Chen Eun's words, Xiliang smiled slightly and said: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, but I applied for a batch of grain from the imperial court, but the capital is a long way from Fengtian, and it will take a long time to transport it to Taonan through Fengtian, but this is the only way for now." ”
"Er'an, you'll have a hard time. Forward the news to He Tianci in Taonan. ”
Looking at the advisory bureau behind him, Xiliang sighed secretly. With the money of the Construction Advisory Bureau, it is better to spend more money on people's livelihood, why let these immigrants continue to work hungry, He Tianci's distress can also be understood, not to mention He Tianci's Dongmeng immigrated 200,000 at once, and even immigrated 200,000 to Jilin. The governors of Jilin all practiced and complained, and it was good that He Tianci could persist until now.
He Tianci's efforts and abilities are also in his eyes, he thought that the new emperor would ascend the throne and be able to engage in politics, but he didn't expect that he was still corrupt and incompetent. Three months ago, he wanted the imperial court to apply for grain delivery to Fengtian, and after three months, there was no reaction at all, Xiliang also knew that this was his last few years of political career, and he thought that he could make some achievements in Fengtian, but he didn't expect that the imperial court still didn't cooperate with him.
Xiliang was a little powerless, watching He Tianci fight the rebel princes in Dongmeng and divide the land, Xiliang was also enthusiastic, as if he saw himself in his youth, suppressing corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Rehe, Sichuan, and Yungui, but now he doesn't have so much thought, he just wants future generations to evaluate him, don't say that he is doing nothing in Fengtian.
It was a bit too much to allocate 200,000 immigrants to Dongmeng, but at that time he would not have thought that the efficiency of the imperial court would be so poor, perhaps because he was too confident, valued himself too much, and blindly believed in the Qing Dynasty.
Looking at the vigorous creeper growing around, Xiliang couldn't see the vitality of the Qing Dynasty, maybe this dynasty is coming to an end, on the contrary, He Tianci's Dongmeng is indeed vibrant, I hope He Tianci's Dongmeng is like a tenacious creeper, through this catastrophe, I hope God blesses it......
"Knock"
The sound of the gong sounding again for the hungry people's shed, and the shed in charge of delivering the meal shouted enthusiastically: "Open the rice, open the rice." ”
Although the bud rice dumplings are getting smaller and smaller, the nature of the people is getting higher and higher, because these days Dongmeng's parents and officials, He Tianci has been accompanying these hungry people, the small dumplings are better than thousands of delicacies in their eyes, and the reclamation of wasteland during the day consumes a lot of energy, and the dumplings in their hands are the delicacies of the mountains and seas at this time.
"Come, the mutton soup is here!" The shed shouted enthusiastically, and the recent support of Tongliao's cattle and sheep has temporarily relieved a certain amount of food pressure: "Don't squeeze, everyone has a share." ”
"Take a sip too! You have to eat somewhat. Zhang Suya and He Tianci have been crowded in the hungry shacks, eating and living with these refugees.
"Don't drink it! No appetite! He Tianci replied simply, but he was still thinking about the problem of food in his heart, and he calculated in his heart that this was the seventh day, and there was still no sign of selling grain from Tsarist Russia and Japan, but he was still hoarding grain.
Finally, the news came from Fengtian, and He Tianci heard it was also Xiliang's perfunctory words, Beijing to Fengtian, from Fengtian to Taonan, it would take a lot of time on the road, coupled with the efficiency of the imperial court, He Tianci basically had no hope for them.
The first time he experienced the life of the hungry, He Tianci knew that the so-called hungry people's shacks in Dongmeng may not be comparable to the slums of the United States, thinking about the problem of food every day, He Tianci did not have the slightest appetite, and in less than a week, the person lost a lot of weight, and his sallow face was sad all day long.
After all, eating Tongliao's cattle and sheep for a long time is not a solution, and if the food problem is not solved for another half a month, I am afraid that Tongliao will not be able to bear it. At that time, it will not be possible to share the weal and woe with the people, and the hungry people who are carried away by hunger may eat themselves.
This is the first time he felt the insignificance of a person after coming to the Republic of China, even if he is a prophet and a person who walks in the forefront of the times, he is just a drop of water in the sea of history, but a drop of water He also prayed that this drop of water fell into the rough sea and set off a shocking wave, and then let the sea return to calm.
Let Dongmeng survive this catastrophe.
"I'm hungry"
He Tianci and Zhang Suya live next to Zhao Guizhi, He Tianci hasn't eaten much these days, and the rest of the bud rice dumplings are left to the little girl, and my hunger has become the little girl's mantra.
But today Zhao Guizhi looked at He Tianci, who was getting thinner, and still didn't dare to ask for it, after all, he hadn't eaten for several days, and he also starved this big official.
Zhao Guizhi admired them a little, that is, when he first moved in, he was a little unsuitable for the stinking hungry people's shacks, especially Zhang Suya, although she was born as a young lady from a large family, her attitude towards these hungry people was very gentle, this town guard made her face full of sadness every day, but Zhang Suya looked at everything optimistically.
At first, Zhao Guizhi didn't understand, and thought it was a monk temple, so he thought that what they said about the Lord and God was a Bodhisattva Buddha, and then I almost didn't make a joke when I heard the explanation.
"Gui Zhi, Gui Zhi, I'm the fourth!" Looking at Zhao Guizhi's hungry shack, there were suddenly two more people, Zhang Si was a little puzzled, and cautiously swept the surroundings and said, "Who are these two people?" That second dog didn't come to harass you. ”
The second dog in Zhang Si's mouth is the Cangzhou scoundrel who took the lead in making trouble among the hungry people a few days ago, seeing the helplessness of Zhao Guizhi's orphans and widows, he caught the attention of the young and beautiful Zhao Guizhi, and later caught up with Zhang Si herding sheep passing here, Zhang Si died his wife on the way to Guandong, Zhao Guizhi is a widow again, and Zhang Si has long been aware of Zhao Guizhi.
Seeing that the second dog was playing a scoundrel, he was so angry that he was a little worried, and after educating the second dog, he was a little worried, so he got a broken wooden door for Zhao Guizhi's house, trying to comfort him.
The dried vegetables of the two of them come and go, and both sides also have that layer of consciousness, but they are not easy to say consciously, after all, both of them are fathers and mothers, and it is not a glorious thing to remarry at this time, women have to be subject to three obedience and four virtues, in a word, this is the old society of all evils.
"Fourth, why are you so late, aren't you afraid of people's nonsense?" Seeing that her sweetheart came over, Zhao Guizhi was a little worried and a little excited, and said coquettishly: "People say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door!" ”
Zhang Si walked in with a cloth package, looked at his sweetheart in front of him, straightened his chest and said, "Anyway, I'm not afraid, I'll be rare for you!" ”
"Oh, you're not ashamed! Such a big person doesn't know how to panic and say anything. "Beating is love, scolding is love, and he said that Zhang Si was not ashamed, but when he heard Zhang Si's confession, he was very happy in his heart.
"By the way, I remembered, who are these two people in the house?"
"The town guard and the town guard woman. Tell you that if you dare to bully me in the future, the town guard will smack you! Zhao Guizhi pointed to the inside of the house and made a head-killing motion. (To be continued......)
