When Du Liming left Taonan, the rubber stock trading in Shanghai had cooled down, and the stock price was still very high, but now few people have snapped up the rubber stocks sold by some people on the exchange, and the liquidity of the entire Shanghai has almost been sucked dry.

According to Qin Yu's confession, after returning to Benxi, Du Liming established Fengli Machinery Manufacturing Factory in Benxi, bought machine tools from Shanghai, and began to trial produce some simple production equipment such as oil presses, brick machines, flour machines, and hosiery looms.

At this time, the situation in the customs is becoming more and more severe, and Hubei has not been like last year, but Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui have been plagued by torrential rains, and tens of thousands of hungry people have rioted in Laiyang, Shandong because of the disaster. However, at this time, the Northeast is also full of water, and the water conservancy that has been in disrepair for a long time has shown a low role under the impact of the soaring river water, and tens of thousands of people have been affected, and countless places where fertile land has been flooded. Forty or fifty thousand victims poured in from Taonan again. Last year's newly reclaimed wasteland harvest has not yet come up, and this year there are so many hungry people, so that the food supply in Taonan has become very severe, there is grain in hand, there is no panic in the heart, once the food supply problems, the consequences are unimaginable.

"My lord, it can't go on like this, the grain in several nearby counties has been almost purchased, bought from other places, and the people drag the horses, and the consumption on the road alone is an astonishing number." Tian Helin has complained to Qin Yu for more than the first time. The number of hungry people last year has not been digested this year, and now there are so many more, so how can Tian and Lin arrange it, money is not the biggest problem, the most important thing is food, the price of grain in the customs is higher than that outside the customs, even if there is some surplus grain outside the customs, under the acquisition in the past, it has also risen a lot, and the grain transported from Changchun is also extremely amazing along the way.

"Okay, I know the truth, I'll try to find a way to solve the problem." Qin Yu pressed his forehead with a little headache, "It's good to hold on until the grain is harvested this year, you can prepare and resettle this group of disaster victims in Baicheng, Jing'an, and open a belt." ”

Taonan is temporarily unable to digest more hungry people, so he can only scatter these hungry people for resettlement, fortunately, Xiliang gave Qin Yu a few places, otherwise in order to prevent Taonan from causing turmoil, he can only forcibly expel these hungry people, although the reality is a little cruel, but it is an indisputable fact.

"Wait, send a telegram to the Governor, you can't just send the difficulties to Taonan, and don't give some benefits, if the Governor's side operates it, you should be able to bring in a lot of food." Qin Yu stopped Tian Helin again, and the energy of the governors of the three eastern provinces naturally could not be underestimated.

Hetian and Lin discussed it roughly, and Qin Yu asked people to send a telegram to Ni Jiting, urging Ni Jiting to increase the supply of food, although the telegram urging the other party was undoubtedly to let Ni Jiting, a cunning fox, sit on the ground and raise the price, but even if the price was raised, it would not be too outrageous. After all, there will be a lot of exchanges between the two sides in the future, Ni Jiting will not be so short-sighted, as long as he can save some more people, it is worth spending some money, Qin Yu is not a person who is overflowing with good intentions, but within the scope of his ability, how much can he save, and he has peace of mind.

"One, two, three, hi!" In the barracks, soldiers in groups of four kept lying down and sitting up, holding heavy logs. While training physical strength and endurance, it also trains the coordination and cooperation of soldiers.

Wrapping the long braid around the neck and soaking it in muddy water is quite a hindrance, but at this time it was still the Qing Dynasty, except for the new army, the old army cut the braid to kill the head. Although a little helpless, Qin Yu and his subordinates also had to drag a long braid.

"*, our patrol battalion isn't a combat unit, do we need to train to the death like this?" Liu Zhengbing sat up and gritted his teeth.

"It's not that Lord Qin's order, we have now been directly transferred to him, he said that he will train us as grandsons, and he will never train us as sons." Another soldier gasped for breath.

"Don't talk nonsense to labor and management, if you are not happy, just nod your head and shrug your head, get out of the barracks immediately, and labor and management will definitely not keep you." The instructor who heard the grumbling words of several people kicked on the log held by several people, and several people could not stand the force, and they all lay back on the ground.

"Hehe, instructor, aren't we full and complaining." Liu Zhengbing, who spoke before, smiled embarrassedly, he is from Baicheng, although he used to be a servant, although he could usually collect a small scrape, after all, he couldn't scrape much oil and water, although it was a little bitter in the barracks, but the monthly salary was ten out of ten, and when the New Year was closer, the family could also share some New Year's goods, and bring up ten catties of white flour and a few catties of meat.

Even if you don't go back for the New Year, there are also some silver subsidies, and the treatment of those who have great ability is so good that there are a few people in the barracks who have hard work and good marksmanship, and they take a few taels of silver a month. I can also get two or three pairs of shoes and a few sets of clothes a year, and the spirit of wearing it is not comparable to ordinary people.

The patrol battalions that were mobilized from Baicheng, Jing'an, and other places were training in the camp.

"After this wave of training, the quality of these recruits will be raised, and if they have another chance to go to the battlefield to see some blood, they will soon become an elite." Yang Xing has been rooted in the army in the past few years, and he is also very young, Qin Yu also regards Yang Xing as a key training object.

"If you want to be an elite, you still have to look good." Qin Yu smiled indifferently, although he had invested a lot of energy in industry, of course Qin Yu would not forget his roots. While ravaging the disaster, Qin Yu also spared no effort to invest in the army, but because of his current identity, he was unable to buy artillery on a large scale. Otherwise, Qin Yu would have wanted to form an artillery battalion a long time ago. Qin Yu's headquarters has six battalions, which is the regular establishment of the patrol army, 1 battalion of security teams, two patrol battalions, and the total strength has actually reached 9 battalions, more than 4,500 people, after several years of hard work, the horse farm has been able to provide enough horses to the army, that is to say, the troops in Qin Yu's hands can become cavalry at any time, as long as it is not along the railway, the mobility ability is unique in the entire Northeast.

In addition, it is not possible to buy arms on a large scale for the time being, but Qin Yu built a red brick military house by improving the treatment of soldiers. At the same time, the intensity of training for soldiers was increased, and some training methods of later generations were incorporated. Coupled with sufficient provisions, the physical fitness and reaction speed of these soldiers have reached a considerable level, but they are limited by weapons, and their combat effectiveness cannot be improved by leaps and bounds.

In history, Zhang Zuolin should have occupied Taonan, and now he occupies the magpie's nest, Zhang Zuolin only has five battalions of troops in his hands, and the situation will not be better than himself. The current Zhang Zuolin garrison is in Zhengjiatun, but I don't know what Zhang Zuolin is doing? It has been more than two years since the previous conquest of Tao Ke Taohu, Qin Yu suddenly missed this future opponent, at least from the current books, Qin Yu has occupied the absolute lead, the army is twice as strong as Zhang Zuolin, and the resources and financial resources that can be mobilized are far from being compared with Zhang Zuolin. To be honest, while Qin Yu regards Zhang Zuolin as an opponent, he also wants to see what methods this historical hero has.
