Tsarist Daosheng Bank Taonan Branch.

The bank is a Russian-style domed three-city building, and although it is not finished, the gray-brown paint has already revealed a strong Tsarist Russian style.

"Yes, a little bit of hometown!" Jiknov stood at the door of the bank, looked at the Taonan branch that was about to be completed, and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, manager, please rest assured, these are all authentic Petersburg craftsmen, and I specially invited them over there in Harbin." The head of the Russian squad looked at Jiknov greedily.

Opposite the bank is a hungry tent, the small space is densely packed with hungry people, the hungry people's shed is a little crowded, even a little dirty, Jiknov looked at the hungry people opposite, disgusted spit on the ground, secretly said in his heart, poor Chinese.

Jiknov was a banker, but he was still stingy, he understood the head of the team's thoughts, reached out and took out a bag of silver coins from his tweed coat and handed it to the head of the team, his eyes still fixed on the food in the hungry shack opposite.

"Mother, I'm still a little hungry......"

In the hungry shed opposite the bank, the little girl looked at the bud rice dumpling in Zhao Guizhi's hand with longing, Zhao Guizhi had some helplessness on her face, and casually broke off half of her bud rice dumpling, handed it to the girl and said, "Flowers, eat." ”

The little girl didn't know why the food was getting less and less every day, but when she saw that her mother had half a piece of bread left, she pushed it back sensibly and said softly: "Mother, I, I'm not hungry, you can eat." ”

Having had enough of the pain of famine along the way, she was still able to adapt to the fact that the food supply in Taonan City was getting less and less every day. After all, it's better than eating the last meal in the customs and not having the next meal, that is, it's a little bitter for the time being. The crops in the field are getting bigger and bigger day by day, this is her hope, just get through today, Zhao Guizhi picked up her daughter and smiled with satisfaction.

After receiving the money from Jiknov, the head of the team looked disdainful, but he didn't expect the manager of the dignified Tsarist Daosheng Bank to be so stingy, and his brows immediately wrinkled. With a big mouth and a nose that is almost crooked, it looks a little funny.

But Jiknov had no time to appreciate such a funny expression, the bank's vision was always so sharp, and he had already found a business opportunity through the changes in the rations of the hungry, that is, grain, the supply of food for the hungry. From two things similar to bread (bud rice dumplings), it has become one, and it is also a lot smaller.

This stingy banker, but unusually sensitive to interests, looked at everything in front of him, he smiled weirdly. After commanding the affairs in hand, he immediately galloped towards the north.

Tongliao City.

Looking at the table full of sumptuous food, He Tianci didn't have any appetite, picked up a piece of sauced beef, and put it down.

Zhang Suya also saw it. He Tianci was a little wrong today, especially after being handed over by a stupid roe deer. kept pulling this face, and asked softly: "The master, is the dish not palatable?" ”

It is said that to grasp a man's heart, first of all, to grasp the taste of a man, after coming to the grassland, Zhang Suya is changing the way to make a good dish to please He Tianci's stomach, especially this hand of sauce beef, but he specially learned from the Mongolians, every time He Tianci eats sauce beef, he applauds again and again, there must be something today.

"Don't cook so many dishes in the future, two meals a day, and save all the rest for the hungry people in Fengtaonan......" After hearing that there was a big hole in Taonan's food, He Tianci didn't have any appetite, and all his thoughts were on the food problem.

The grain problem is difficult to solve, and the most important thing is that Tsarist Russia and Japan have grain in their hands, but they do not sell it, hoard it, and try to make huge profits from it, which makes the grain problem in Taonan even more serious.

As soon as He Zhenming heard this, the young master immediately became angry, and put the rice bowl in his hand on the table at once. "No, how can I eat two meals a day!"

Originally, He Tianci was not angry, but when he saw the eldest son who brushed the young master's temper, he immediately lost his temper, got up and said, "Little rabbit cub, what do you say, you tell me again." ”

"I can't get enough for one meal a day!" He Tianci has been busy with military affairs for a long time, and he has little time to live with his son, Zhang Suya is pampered to children, but He Zhenming is very stubborn.

As soon as he heard this, He Tianci couldn't help but scold: "it, you hurry up and give me the food on the table, now a child as old as you in Taonan eats two meals a day, you dare to pick and choose here, you little rabbit." ”

"What are you doing here" Zhang Suya hurriedly got up and stopped He Tianci, and glanced at He Zhenming, He Zhenming was a little unhappy and picked up the rice on the table and put it in his mouth, staying with his mother for a long time, He Zhenming was also obedient to Zhang Suya's words, and he also realized his mistake by looking at the expression on his face.

"Dad, I was wrong!"

"It's good to be brave enough to make mistakes!" He Tianci suppressed the anger in his heart and reluctantly said, maybe he usually spent too little time with his children, and there was a generation gap with him at a young age.

For the Chinese dream in his heart, for the happiness of thousands of families, He Tianci can only suffer his wife and children, who made him destined to be extraordinary as soon as he came to this era, now he is not only his father, but also the parents of 300,000 people in Dongmeng, and he also has to protect the livelihood of more than 300,000 people in Dongmeng.

He Tianci also had no appetite for any more food, so he simply went directly to the Dongmeng Town Guard Mansion and agreed on countermeasures, once the more than 100,000 hungry people in Taonan ran out of food, it was easy to breed civil revolt, and Taonan was close to Tsarist Russia, so it was easy for the Russians to find an excuse to interfere in China. So this matter, there is no ambiguity.

He Tianci didn't want to ask Xiliang, but this time he could only beg him, Taonan's food problem was also caused by him in the final analysis, and it is said that Xiliang should also help somewhat. "The stupid roe deer immediately sent a telegram to the governor's palace of the three eastern provinces asking for help, asking for food support."

"In addition, let Su Houwen be able to distribute a part of the grain in Tongliao City, and solve the problem of Taonan in time."

"Starting from the Yamen administrative department, two meals a day, the rest of the grain will be sent to Taonan to relieve the pressure on Taonan's grain."

"This ......" The stupid roe deer hesitated a little and asked tentatively, "Do you want the troops to implement ......?"

As a last resort, the combat effectiveness of the troops must be guaranteed, and He Tianci said categorically: "Everything will continue as usual in the troops, and let the troops strengthen the supervision of the hungry people in various places to prevent civil unrest." ”

He Tianci thought about it in his heart, even so, the problem of Taonan was still severe, and it seemed that it was necessary for him to go to Taonan in person. (To be continued.)
