Chapter 163: New Procurement Plan

Wang's sister-in-law is a widow in her 40s, and her husband has been widowed since he died in Tibetan province a few years ago. By the way, Sister-in-law Wang's posture is also a very plump one, especially the two pairs of papayas on her chest. However, even the hungiest bachelor in Chengdu never thought of the idea of beating Sister-in-law Wang, of course, not because Sister-in-law Wang's family is very powerful, but entirely because her appearance is too "thrilling"...

"This... Auntie..."Maybe the tolerance between women and women is relatively high, so although Sister-in-law Wang is very shocked, Lin Xiu only leaned into Yue Chang's arms slightly...

Lin Xiu may not have noticed this action, but Yue Chang, who felt the soft touch in his arms, was full of surprise.

Ignoring Yue Chang, who was still surprised, looking at the girl in front of her who was obviously dozens of times more beautiful than herself, Sister-in-law Wang just raised her eyebrows very hostilely. "Didn't I say it, don't call me Auntie."

Just when Lin Xiu was about to say something, Yue Chang on the side hurriedly spoke. "Okay, sister-in-law Wang, this girl came from Shanghai to join her relatives, but she is unfamiliar with the place and can't find a relative's place to live, so I want you to help me find it..."

Glancing at Yue Chang, Sister-in-law Wang snorted. "I said that you kid hasn't been here for so long, why did you suddenly come to me, it turned out that you were here to help others." Despite this, Sister-in-law Wang still thought about it carefully. "Puhu Lane on Dedong Street, I remember it looks like it's in the east of the city, well, just cross the stone bridge..."

"Sister-in-law Wang, thank you very much!" As he spoke, Yue Chang picked her up again amid the girl's protests.

"Huh? Why don't you come in and sit a little longer? Ignoring Lin Xiu's gaze for help, Sister-in-law Wang just looked at Yue Changdao.

"No, it's getting late, I'd better send the girl to his family quickly!" Now that he has learned the location, Yue Chang doesn't want to stay longer, after all, for a man, Sister-in-law Wang is too thrilling.

"Really." Looking at Yue Chang's back and fleeing, Sister-in-law Wang sighed. "I really have a daughter-in-law and forgot my sister, but that girl is really beautiful just now..."

Ignoring the muttering of his sister-in-law behind his back, Yue Chang kept holding Lin Xiu and ran out of the alley before stopping.

"Why are you running so fast? That aunt didn't look like some bad person. Lin Xiu looked at Yue Chang, who was sweating profusely, and was a little puzzled.

"This..."Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yue Chang obviously couldn't explain to Lin Xiu what "thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger", and finally he could only move in silence in the direction of Dedong Street. After holding Lin Xiu for more than half an hour, Yue Chang and Lin Xiu walked to a house that looked a little dilapidated.

"This is your relative's home, isn't it?"

"I guess..."

Lin Xiu, who had never been here, was not too sure, but fortunately, a middle-aged aunt ran out of the house at this time, looking at Lin Xiu, who had been placed on the ground by Yue Chang, and said happily. "You're Lin Xiu, right?"

"You're... Aunt? Looking at the middle-aged aunt, Lin Xiu didn't look too sure.

It seemed that he heard a voice outside, and a middle-aged man also ran out. "Xiuxiu, I'm your uncle."

Although he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was Lin Xiu's uncle, he didn't know why, seeing him calling Lin Xiu's name so affectionately, Yue Chang suddenly had an unhappy feeling in his heart.

At this time, Lin Xiu's uncle and aunt also seemed to notice Yue Chang's existence, so they looked at Yue Chang and said in confusion. "Xiuxiu, who is this?"

Seeing that his uncle and aunt seemed to regard Yue Chang as a person with bad intentions, although he also agreed with this in his heart, Lin Xiu still hurriedly introduced. "This is Mr. Yue Changyue, I didn't know the place when I first arrived in Chengdu, and he sent me here." The hooligans were kept hidden, after all, she didn't want her uncle and aunt to worry. Of course, the most important thing is not to want the two of them to enhance their good impression of Yue Chang.

"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Yue Chang." didn't hug Lin Xiu's shameless face, Yue Chang was serious.

In the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion, Yan Guang proposed a new ordnance procurement plan to the military and political axe officials present.

"100,000 rifles, 30,000 pistols, 500 mountain guns, field artillery, 1,000 Maxim heavy machine guns and 5,000 Madsen light machine guns?" Although they all knew that Yan Guang would make a big move in the near future, the people here were still shocked by this number.

100,000 rifles and 30,000 pistols are good to say, but mountain artillery, field artillery and light and heavy machine guns? You must know that the artillery and machine guns they ordered last time have just arrived in China, and they are still floating on the Yangtze River.

"Governor, such a large amount, I'm afraid even the British and Germans can't come up with it in a hurry..."After frowning, Song Dinghan, who was in charge of finance, spoke. Not to mention, 100,000 rifles alone cost more than 10 million silver dollars, and if other ordnance is added, the total value will probably reach 20 million silver dollars...

"Don't worry, as long as all of this can be delivered by 1913." Yan Guang's goal was to expand the Sichuan Army from the current five divisions to 10 divisions by 1913, so as long as half of the ordnance ordered could be delivered by 13 years ago, even one-third, would be enough.

"In 1913? "20 million silver dollars is not a small amount, and it will take at least five years to rely on Sichuan's financial revenue alone." So although he knew that Yan Guang was rich, Song Dinghan was still a little worried. After all, Yan Guang has always been lavish when he spends money, and it is difficult to say when he will spend all his money.

You must know that now the finances of Sichuan and Guizhou can be supported by Yan Guang alone, if Yan Guang's wallet suddenly runs out of money, then Sichuan and Guizhou will soon fall into a financial crisis...

"There is absolutely no problem with funding." Waving his hand, Yan Guangman, who had just received more than 100 million silver dollars from the United States, said indifferently. "You just have to make a plan for me."

Hearing Yan Guang say this, Song Dinghan and several officials in charge of finance could only nod. "Understood."

Compared with Song Dinghan and them, Wang Yaowu, Feng Nan and others were obviously much more excited, after all, the strength of the Houchuan army when these ordnance arrived would also be greatly improved.

And...

"The governor bought these weapons and came back, and it won't take long for me to be the commander of the army." Not knowing that he was only the commander of the Second Army, Feng Nan thought happily after hearing Yan Guang's plan.

A week later, when Charlie and Riddle arrived in Chongqing on a river steamer, the first thing they saw was the purchase form sent by Yan Guang.

Looking at each other with a wry smile, Riddle said to Charlie. "I'm right, this Yan is giving us a problem again..."
