Chapter 42: The Benefits of Having Soldiers

After chatting for a while, Professor Anderson seemed to know that the family had something to talk about, so he picked up his briefcase and called the guide that Liu Jiachang had arranged for him to go to Saigon University.

Seeing off the tenants of his brother-in-law's house, Wu Jingchen couldn't help but smile and asked, "For the people, do you really worship the Yankees who handle second-hand supplies?" ”

"True worship, it's really amazing. In fact, I'm trying to find a way to invite him to be the president of my Lee Enterprises USA. ”

"He's a general, can he work for you?"

"Generals are also people, as long as they are people, who will be afraid of money. Besides, his major general has the rank of temporary general, as if he retired with the rank of colonel, and he can't enjoy the treatment of a major general. ”

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Wu Jingchen stopped joking: "For the people, get down to business, what's wrong, do you have to go out to avoid the limelight?" ”

It was a matter of his fiancΓ©e's safety, Li Weimin didn't dare to hide even a little, and introduced the events of last night to 1510. At the same time, he briefly introduced his relationship with Wu Tingyan and some of the things to be done next.

No wonder his mom and dad and his sister were going to France, because he was embroiled in the most dangerous political battle in front of him.

The more Wu Jingchen thought about it, the more scared he became, and at the same time he was a little excited, he was in danger of seeking wealth and wealth, if Wu Tingyan could really gain a firm foothold and sweep away the warlords, then with the relationship between his brother-in-law and Wu Tingyan, Wu Ji Shipyard could drink soup even if he couldn't eat meat.

He pondered for a moment and said worriedly: "Qiyuan is ruthless and has to be guarded against. You're right, Lijun can't show her face again. Your father and mother are gone, and now the closest relationship is us, not only Lijun wants to avoid the limelight, but we also want to avoid it. When I went back, I told the old man to let them go and stay for a while. ”

The Wu Kee Shipyard has a branch in Vung Tau Port, and the sphere of influence of the Pingchuan faction is on the West Causeway, and it is nothing outside the West Causeway, so it is a safe way to go there.

Li Weimin nodded slightly, and said apologetically: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I've bothered you." ”

"If a family doesn't talk to two families, what doesn't affect it."

Wu Jingchen waved his hand lightly, looked at his sister who wanted to speak and smiled: "The conditions over there in Vung Tau are far inferior to Saigon, so Lijun doesn't have to go." The two of you get together less and leave more, just talking together. ”

Wu Lijun didn't want to leave, but she was really embarrassed to stay, so she blushed and said, "Brother, I'm ...... I...... It's not convenient for me to live here. ”

"Sooner or later, I have to enter the door of Li's house, what's inconvenient. Besides, it's an eventful time, so I can't take care of it so much. Go back and let someone help you bring clothes or something, so many rooms, and it's not that there is no place to live. ”

The eldest brother made the final decision, and Wu Lijun was overjoyed. I don't know if I was worried that he would regret it, or if I felt too embarrassed, so I ran to the room and closed the door with a "bang" and never came out.

Wu Jingchen smiled secretly, lit a cigarette and stared at him and asked, "For the people, how sure are you about Wu Tingyan?" ”

"With the support of the United States, there should be no problem in gaining a foothold."

Li Weimin took a deep breath, frowned slightly and said: "But he is very conservative and stubborn, don't look at being proficient in French, don't look at being in exile abroad for so long, in fact, he has very little contact with the outside world, he doesn't know what kind of changes have happened outside, and he is unwilling to listen to other people's opinions, he may encounter many problems after he takes power, and he may be opposed by many people." ”

"And you're still putting your bet on him?"

"Two different things, just because he can't listen to other people's opinions doesn't mean that he can't listen to my opinions. It's just that I have a special status, and I don't express any views on some national affairs, and I can't express my opinions. So my relationship with him is to cooperate when it is time to cooperate, and when it is time to cut, I must cut immediately. ”

"Cutting? For the people, this kind of thing is easier said than done. ”

"It's not easy, but I'll take care of it."

Just click to the end, and then it will leak the heavenly opportunity, Li Weimin changed the topic: "Big brother, what is the movement of the embankment during this time, and are there many people who have escaped from the north?" ”

"Many!"

It's not easy to survive in troubled times, thinking of those people who dragged their families and brought them over, Wu Jingchen said solemnly: "There are more than 30,000 people who have defected to the Five Gangs Guild, and there is really no place to settle them, so I can only find a place in the tenth county and provide some materials such as zinc, iron, and wood for them to build their own sheds." There are too many people, and the preparation before is not sufficient, and those who come early can get some, and those who come these days can only build a thatched liao.

The fire is so crowded that it is inevitable to go to the water (fire), and there are fires almost every day. The hygiene is even worse, and there are bags of filth all over the street in the morning. In lonely alleys, it is common for people and dogs to poop. The five gangs will meet in the afternoon, and all of us directors will go, and it is estimated that the family will donate some money and food, first to ensure that no one starves to death, and then think of other ways. ”

The Chaozhou people, Cantonese people, Hakka people, Fujian people, and Hainan people who defected to the Five Gangs Association could not be resettled, so how could we talk about resettle more than 300,000 Nongs?

Li Weimin pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, have you made a simple statistic about what they mostly do in the north for a living?" ”

"Does this need to be counted?"

Wu Jingchen knocked on the cigarette ash and said with a wry smile helplessly: "The people in the north mainly rely on the textile industry and the furniture and wood industry to make a living. The losses are already huge, and it is not so easy to get back into the old business.

In contrast, the skilled carpenters were slightly better, and they spontaneously set up several carpentry factories near Forever Street and Chen Renzong Street, and several gang leaders planned to use the vacant land around the six-way road to the seven-way road to set up a furniture market to make their business easier. ”

"It's a good idea to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."

Li Weimin nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "People engaged in textiles can't always be so idle, big brother, why don't you ask those textile factory owners, if you can help them dismantle and transport the machines, and then provide some loans for them to purchase raw materials, are they willing to continue to work?" ”

Wu Jingchen shook his head: "For the people, it's not that they don't want to move, it's that they can't move." In addition to using their own people in the north, they also used a lot of locals. Those local talents don't care who bought the machine and who it belongs to. They knew that as soon as the machine was moved, there would be no food, so they set up a team of workers to protect the factory, and whoever moved the machine would play with whom. ”

The Geneva negotiations have not yet been resolved, and Hanoi's coastal defense is still under the control of the French, so it is even more impossible for the French to withdraw and want to move, and it must be the Viet Minh's ghost.

Li Weimin snorted coldly, and said expressionlessly: "If they don't let them move, they won't move, and if there is no royal law, I don't believe in this evil." Big brother, help me give a message to those bosses, we have soldiers in Hanoi and Haiphong, as long as they are willing to continue to work, I can help them dismantle and transport all the machines. ”

"Soldiers?"

"There are two divisions of the Nong Legion, anyway, there is a mess over there, and there is no problem in driving into the city for armed demolition."

Thinking that his cousin went to the north with him but didn't come back, Wu Jingchen suddenly realized: "For the people, you have connected with General Huang, and Mingxiu is there with them?" ”

Li Weimin nodded his head and smiled proudly: "Not only my cousin is here, except for Mr. Qian from Yi'an Middle School, all the people who went with me are at General Huang's." In addition, General Hoang gave me a platoon, and I arranged them to assist the villagers in Haiphong, Hanoi. ”

General Wu Jingchen asked suspiciously, "Why did General Huang help you?" ”

"It's not him who helps me, it's me who helps him, or I help them."
