In the past two months, under the unified leadership of the Northern Xingying Flood Control Committee, of which Lin Haifeng personally commanded the Flood Control Committee, the newly established governments of the Celestial Empire along the south of the Yellow River have mobilized forces that can mobilize a force that can be mobilized to not only temporarily and successfully block the section of the Tongwaxiang Breach River in Lanyang, Henan Province, but also to repair and strengthen the existing embankments and weirs along the coast on a large scale.

This project is simple to say, but it is extremely huge to do, and the huge financial and material resources that the Celestial Empire government has successively mobilized for this purpose not only made the eyes of the officials of the Celestial Empire's financial department widen more and more, but also surprised the leaders of the Celestial Empire sitting in Tianjing. Only at this time did Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai and others of Tianjing deeply realize that it was definitely a best strategy to actively manage the south and not be in a hurry to recover the vast area north of the Yangtze River for the time being.

Before Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan went down to earth, for Tianjing, in the past southern wars, attacking cities and plundering land meant a "bumper harvest" of money and grain. No matter what town it is, no matter how big or small, as long as you get it in your hands, you can have whatever you want. A large number of captured materials were not only enough to maintain the needs of the front-line army, but also to continuously replenish the sacred treasury of Tianjing. It's really a cannon shot, ten thousand taels of gold.

Although it has changed now, even if the army of Lin Fengxiang and Qin Rigang on the West Road enters Yungui and other places that are not rich, although they don't have any money to send a large amount to Tianjing, they will not stretch out their hands to ask for Tianjing. With the recovery of Sichuan, in addition to providing them with some necessary new ordnance materials, they have become completely self-sufficient, and a large number of various materials urgently needed by the Celestial Empire have also begun to return.

However, this good situation will not work when it comes to the second front army of Shi Xiangzhen on the middle road and the third front army of Chen Yucheng on the east road. From the second half of last year, the further north you play, the greater the investment. Almost every time a place is conquered, a large amount of relief materials needs to be transferred. At first, Anhui was like a person who didn't know how to be hungry, opening his mouth wide and constantly devouring what could fit into his mouth. When Henan and Shandong are regained again, standing on any ferry in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the most sight seen every day is the endless army of grain transporters.

In order to resist disasters, eastern Anhui should cofferdam to make land. In order to provide a smooth material transportation line for the future, the Anhui and Lunan sections of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which the Manchu Qing Dynasty had ignored for many years, had to be dredged and cleaned. Now coupled with the opponent of the Yellow River, it is impossible for Yang Xiuqing, who is the "great housekeeper" of the Celestial Empire, not to have a headache, after all, the silver dollars of white flowers are constantly flowing from the outside of the holy treasury!

It was precisely because of this that a voice soon appeared in the middle and upper echelons of the Celestial Empire's government. Many people believe that the most important task at present should be to overthrow the Manchu regime and restore the rivers and mountains. At such a time, it would be a waste to spend a large amount of money on such a huge project. In particular, some people even believe that the policy of peace talks proposed and being implemented by Lin Haifeng is a complete mistake. This mistake would not only drag the Celestial Empire's finances into a difficult situation, but also severely damage the image of the Celestial Government, which was a kind of fear to Tsarist Russia. In fact, in private, their words may be more harsh than those above. In their view, the peace talks were an acknowledgment of the vested interests of the Manchus, especially Tsarist Russia, in the land of China, and that there was no difference between openly betraying the country.

Although Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai were well aware of the upcoming peace talks, the reality of the situation still made them feel a little incomprehensible. Since it has hit the edge of the Yellow River, it is understandable to contribute money and efforts to control the river troubles. Just as Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan said, we must take care of every issue involving the people's livelihood regardless of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if we want to win the world, this is the last word. The question is, wouldn't it be better to manage it in moderation? At the moment, during the war, it is always necessary to distinguish between which is light and which is heavy.

Of course, they still understand the deep meaning of the voices that appear among the officials. The Celestial Empire's finances are tight, so it is natural to tighten the spending of some inconsequential aspects, what is irrelevant? In the current Celestial Empire, everyone knows that it is what is spent on officials. This will cause dissatisfaction among some people. Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai believe that Lin Haifeng will not think of this, but why should he set himself on fire?

Whether he understands or doesn't understand, Yang Xiuqing knows that he can't change Lin Haifeng. As soon as Lin Haifeng came out of Tianjing, don't say that it was not easy to come back, even if he came back, what could he do?

When Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai, and Zheng Nan got together alone, Shi Dakai once mentioned that he could temporarily call on the financial resources at the disposal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? As soon as these words came out, before Zheng Nan could express his position, Yang Xiuqing first denied it. The reason is very simple, the funds of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are earmarked, and if it comes to the critical moment when it must be used, Lin Haifeng will naturally make arrangements.

It is clear, then, that the only way left is to dig inside.

Things are always so coincidental, just when Yang Xiuqing and others were discussing how to solve the problems they encountered in front of them, Li Xiucheng put a copy of the "Frontline Daily" from the northern camp on Yang Xiuqing's desk.

On the front page of the tabloid newspaper was an article that the "Red Star" was about to reprint, which gave a detailed account of the "economy" campaign that the northern camp was vigorously carrying out in the Red Second and Third Front Armies. In order to tide over the difficulties with the people of the three provinces of Henan, Lu and Anhui, all the red soldiers of the northern camp from top to bottom fully supported the local work. While consolidating the defense, all the officers and men actively threw themselves into the primary work of producing and saving themselves and ensuring the safety of the flood in various localities, and each of them saved a part of his daily ration to relieve the tremendous economic pressure brought to the people in the rear. At the same time, it also published many records of the people affected by the disaster in various places praising the people's army.

Zheng Nan smiled, and coincided with Lin Haifeng, who had a plan on how to implement the work of the Celestial Empire government in the same boat as a specific person in the relevant strategies for preparing various industrial departments to support the disaster relief work ahead.

Shi Dakai also smiled, he couldn't help but admire Lin Haifeng, Lin Haifeng was playing Yang Xiuqing's mercy card again.

Sure enough, Yang Xiuqing's eyes turned red as soon as he heard Lu Xianba think about the soldiers in front of him saving rations to relieve the pressure on the rear. He slapped the table and scolded Lin Haifeng, the soldiers not only have to widen their eyes to defend the fruits of victory, but also have to make great efforts and sweat to participate in those physical labor in a harsh environment, you *** actually let them leave the already pitiful little rations from their mouths, is there still a human heart?

After a burst of thunder, Yang Xiuqing stopped listening and shouted that Lu Xianba hurriedly laid out a blank sheet of paper on the table. Then, he picked up the pen and, with his hand, which was still trembling slightly, begged Lu Xianba for advice, and painstakingly wrote a dozen crooked words, "One qiē for the front-line soldiers and the suffering people."

"Issuing a general order, anyone can skip eating, even the soldiers at the front can't eat less." Yang Xiuqing angrily threw away the pen in his hand and looked at Shi Dakai, Zheng Nan and Li Xiucheng, "How the specific things come is up to you to draw up, especially Brother Zheng Nan." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Xiucheng again, "You are in charge of agitation (Yang Xiuqing is used to calling propaganda agitation), you can't always stay in Tianjing, you have to organize some new gadgets to go to the front to comfort the soldiers who fought bloodily." Let the soldiers know that I, Yang Xiuqing, and the Celestial Empire will always be thinking about them. ”

Lu Xianba looked at Li Xiucheng and thought for a while, "Minister Li, both the "New Tianjing Daily" and the "Red Star Daily" will publish the chairman's general order, and newspapers in various places will also reprint it at the same time. However, is it true that the headline uses four big characters, working together in the same boat, and the subtitle below uses the chairman's words? ”

"Well, yes, 'in the same boat', these four words are well used!" Shi Dakai clapped his hands, "Regardless of men and women, regardless of industry, let alone official positions, everyone is in the same boat with the Celestial Empire, for the front line and the suffering people." ”

"Yes, Chairman Yingming," Zheng Nan lost no time in learning from Lin Haifeng's former appearance, and took the opportunity to praise Yang Xiuqing, "As long as all of us can do this, there will be no more opponents of ours in this world." ”
