Chapter 216: A Practical Problem

[Sorry, I drank high today, I got home too late, I only coded this braille, brothers look first, and make up for the gap tomorrow]

Luo Yan and Ouyang Qing responded with a stern face, Sun Fu naturally understood the disadvantages of this gold bureau, and saw the industrial and commercial tax department that Qin Kai said, which made him also give a thumbs up, this Tao Dai Li Zhuang's method is definitely a trick to play a black hand, but he still reminded him: "Gale Wind, some things can be done absolutely, and some things still have to be left behind."

"Thank you Brother Sun for reminding me," Qin Kai smiled slightly, Sun Fu still doesn't understand the direction of history, the era of opening the world is coming, although he has these 500 years of experience in the future, but he still can't fully see the road ahead, but he knows his goal very well, what he can do now is first of all to continue to dig the foundation of this decadent empire......

At this time, Song Yunze hurriedly came in from outside and sent in a copied telegram, Sun Fu took it and looked at it, then looked up and asked: "Li Dong called back, the words have been brought, and Hu Da's shopkeeper is still thinking about it."

Qin Kai whispered softly, pondered for a moment, and sighed, "Call back, let Donglai always pay attention to the movements of Fukang and foreign banks, Fukang Silver should be preserved as much as possible, but there are some things that are not up to me...... Do your best."

"Gale Wind, I think the shopkeeper Hu is also a stable person, he should be able to grasp this balance" Sun Fu stood behind Qin Kai, this Qin Liefeng's judgment was really unexpected, the news sent back by Li Donglai, no matter how you look at the foreigners, they don't have any advantage in time, place, and people, it seems that they are all on Hu Xueyan's side, not to mention that behind this Hu Da shopkeeper, there is also a powerful Zuo Dashuai

But...... He now has an inexplicable belief in Qin Kai's decision, he laughed dumbly, the world is unpredictable, how can he not be like this, he thought that the career of the eunuch had a 180-degree turn because of the young governor in front of him

Qin Kai pondered for a while about the raw silk bureau in Shanghai, at present, it seems that Hu Xueyan is indeed still in crisis, but this is Hu Xueyan's big gamble, he wants to get involved, and it is impossible to use his own financial resources, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, hundreds of thousands of school students, plus the small family of the old and the young, he can't gamble on one person with the fate of so many people, so he can't make a big move with this silver.

On September 28th, it suddenly rained heavily, and it rained non-stop for two days, and the next day when the rain was still very heavy, Lu Xichun, the prefect of Guangzhou, and Liu Yunle, the envoy of Guangdong, hurriedly came to see Qin Kai, saying that several streets had been affected by the disaster, and many houses had collapsed, and now hundreds of local people have no place to stay

This is the first disaster relief incident that Qin Kai has encountered since taking office, seeing Lu Xichun, a fat man, raining so heavily, he is drenched like a chicken in soup, and his bad feelings for this prefect of Guangzhou who can hold money are a little lighter, and he can do practical things...... That's better than a corrupt official who doesn't do anything, he sighed in his heart......

After a while, Sun Fu also came in the rain, Qin Kai pondered for a while, this Sun Fu's body and bones are not as good as his daily exercise, let him sit in the yamen, and he took his own army to rush to Meihuali in Dongcheng, Guangzhou, where there are mostly ordinary people's houses, and the terrain is low, so the disaster is also the hardest.

Along the way, the water flows into the stone road in Guangzhou City, and there are few pedestrians on the street, close to the road surface in the plum blossoms, at this time there is already no calf water depth of the rain, this is the rain that flows backwards from the high terrain, but it is not that the rainfall is so large that this journey dù, at this time the carriage can no longer move forward, Qin Kai naturally did not hesitate, jumped into the car, and rushed away surrounded by nearly 100 soldiers.

At this time, Lu Xichun, the prefect of Guangzhou, who was following behind, and Liu Yunle, the envoy of the inspection, were stunned, they originally came here, and then sent a few officials to inquire about the situation, and then reported back to the new governor, but I didn't expect this person to go by himself, he was stunned for a while, pondered for a moment, Lu Fatzi gritted his teeth and followed, Liu Yunle squatted in place and did not move, anyway, he was a member of the Hunan army, but it didn't matter if he followed this Qin governor.

Qin Kai stepped on the rain without shoes, and slowly walked into the plum blossoms, Lu Fat Man quickly followed up, holding an umbrella in the pouring rain had no effect, at this time the fat man came up and said: "My lord, there are more than 1,000 households in the plum blossoms here, and this heavy rain will cause at least hundreds of families to suffer."

Qin Kai looked at Fat Lu and was a little surprised in his heart, out of the school examination, he asked, "Governor Lu, I don't know how to relieve these victims in the past?" ”

"My lord, all the families who have been affected by the disaster, each household will be subsidized 3-8 taels of silver according to the situation, if the house collapses, each household will be subsidized 10-20 taels, in addition to rice and grain relief, you can meet the taxes of the year" Lu Fatzi is quite familiar with a set of plans for disaster relief, which makes Qin Kai also a little surprised, could it be that his first impression of this fat man is a little biased?

However, for this official in Guangzhou, Qin Kai has already asked Ouyang Qing to do an investigation, this fat man is greedy for fame, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a capable official, but he is also a second-ranking jinshi who is a serious child, and it is not a business of donating officials. For local officials, he naturally uses it, anyway, he is also a grass creation in Guangdong, and it is still early to be able to control a province.

When they entered the plum blossoms, there were more than a dozen damaged houses here who were busy mending the leaks in the houses, and when they saw this large number of troops coming, they were already stunned there, Song Yunze had already commanded the soldiers and horses to help these people start repairing the houses at this time, these are all great guys, climbing on the roof is naturally a trivial matter, and these trivial matters are quickly solved.

Qin Kai inquired about the situation here, this situation is very bad, there are at least more than 200 households affected by the disaster, Qin Kai immediately took people and horses to follow the chief to the victims' homes to check, and at the same time instructed to immediately open up a refuge area in the idle factory in the Guangzhou Industrial Zone, so that these victims rushed over to live first.

The next day, when the rainstorm cleared a little, he immediately asked the yamen to allocate grain and open a porridge shed for disaster relief, and at the same time ordered Wu Jingui's China Merchants Bureau to recruit interns to enrich the labor force of the industrial zone among these affected families.

Subsequently, the people in the plum blossom soon saw the announcement of the governor yamen posted in various places in the plum blossom, the governor yamen will build drainage channels here to relieve the people's worries, this rainstorm disaster, the governor yamen in addition to the relief of rice grain, but also reduced the tax of the year......

Dealing with this sudden disaster, this made Qin Kai have more thoughts, now he is the governor of a province after all, not only needs to deal with his own Mawei Industrial Zone, there must be more emergencies in the future, but this thing is handled by himself every time, it is obviously not a good idea, so the Mutual Masonic Association was immediately introduced to Guangzhou.

The Mutual Masonic Association began to raise funds with the sign of Qin Kai, and then was responsible for assisting the governor Yamen to deal with the disaster situation in Guangzhou Prefecture, he incorporated some of the functions of the Red Cross Society into the constitution of the Mutual Masonic Association, and then realized the relief of the disaster through the Guò Yamen and the people, and among the merchants who joined the Mutual Masonic Association for disaster relief, Qin Kai saw a familiar name - Bao Zhilin.

On September 28, the Vietnamese front finally came to the accurate news, the development of the war has not been completely consistent with the progress of history, due to the intervention of the Qingzi army, Yuan Shikai led the three battalions of soldiers and horses stationed in Hanoi City, and the Qingzi army is stationed across the Red River, plus more than 7,000 Gui troops who retreated to Hanoi, using the Hanoi city defense, the two armies in Hanoi City The war entered a stalemate.

But as more and more French expeditionary forces joined the siege of Hanoi, the battle for the city became more and more fierce, and the only consolation was that the combat capability of the Qing Character Army was fully reflected, and in the battle with the French army at the North City Gate, the two sides fought to the death, and finally the French left more than 100 corpses and stationed them in a place 3 miles north of Hanoi.

Qin Kai was also very surprised by this unexpected battle, he did not conduct remote command in the rear, it was all handed over to Zhou Ruidong, he was quietly waiting for the development of the battle situation, and the troops stationed around Zhiling were still conducting pre-war training in an orderly manner, especially those Vietnamese servant troops, Zhou Ruidong almost played with his life to train these natives.

There is only one purpose of his training, to obey orders, to absolutely obey orders, and all soldiers who do not meet this requirement are dismissed to the logistics battalion to continue to serve, and the assessment of this article is extremely strict, and the intensity of training is even greater.

However, after the stalemate in Hanoi, there were some discordant voices, the Vietnamese indigenous camp stationed in Hanoi actually hooked up with the French, and also hooked up with the officials in the French concession in Hanoi, and even funnier things happened, the Vietnamese indigenous battalion Governor Vu Binh sent people to take care of the granaries and arsenals in the city.

The defending Yuan Shikai sent people to urge for arms and food, but he was refused, until he personally went to reason with Wu Ping, and the Vietnamese let Yuan Shikai, who was defending the city, receive very little ammunition and weapons, and for food, there was very little supply.

After discovering this situation, Yuan Shikai was naturally not a fool, he immediately realized that there was a heavy problem, and after careful inquiry, he found that the Vietnamese indigenous soldiers and horses were making wall grass, and the biggest wall grass was this Admiral Wu Ping, because the French had not launched a general offensive yet, so they were still forming a private alliance, and the situation showed a huge crisis.

The news was immediately sent to the Qingziying camp on the other side of the river, and Wu Changqing made the decision to adjust the defense after weighing the pros and cons.
