"It is said that Taonan has a great good man, a great god of wealth, but I didn't expect this god of wealth to start complaining." Xiliang pinched the telegram for help sent by Qin Yu and couldn't help but laugh a little. The flood in the Northeast is not small, but compared to the Guannei, it is much lighter, not to mention the bandits outside the Guan, Qin Yu, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng and others are almost wiped out, and the rest are two or three big cats and kittens, so there is no need to worry.

"Taonan immigrated 100,000 last year, it is really unexpected, such a large amount of money is not easy to come up with in Fengtian, this year's flood in Heilongjiang is close to Taonan City, and if there are tens of thousands of hungry people, it is no wonder that Qin Yu is complaining." Yuan Jinkai echoed on the side.

"Qin Yu doesn't have so much money, he borrowed money to lay eggs, he borrowed money to set up an iron factory, and then used the iron factory to mortgage the Russians and took out a loan, and only last year did he settle so many refugees without any trouble, but this Qin Yu spent too much money, some hungry people, give some food to wrap their stomachs, just starve to death, and even built so many red brick houses, it is estimated that the brick houses in Fengtian Provincial City are not built beautifully in Taonan."

Xiliang is also a little dissatisfied with Qin Yu's lavish spending of money, if he can save a little last year, maybe he will be able to resettle more hungry people in Heilongjiang and Jilin this year. However, this dissatisfaction came and went quickly, and Qin Yu was able to get to the point where he was now, compared to other local officials, it was already very good.

"Taonan was able to settle 100,000 hungry people last year and reclaimed a lot of fields, which is also the harvest this year has not come up, otherwise the situation in Taonan will not be too bad, and this year another tens of thousands of people will be added, which is indeed too difficult." Yuan Jinkai didn't say good things for Qin Yu, in fact, he and Qin Yu didn't have any intersection, but Yuan Jinkai was extremely sleek.

Xiliang is a pragmatic person, and he also attaches great importance to officials who can do practical things, and various local officials are afraid to avoid these hungry people, but Qin Yu has placed hundreds of thousands of people in the past few years, whether it is borrowing money or other ways, immigrating to Mongolia and pacifying the place will have great benefits for the long-term peace and stability of the Northeast. Saying Qin Yu's good words can be regarded as his favorite.

"Hmm."

Xiliang nodded, they all grew up eating grains, Xiliang knows how terrifying it will be for a person to eat less, the annual rations of 100,000 people will add up to how terrifying, not to mention that people don't just eat, there are other consumptions, Taonan can settle so many people without making trouble, according to Xiliang's news, there are very few people who starve to death and freeze to death, and it is beyond his imagination to do this. If the dignified three northeastern provinces all count on one person to deal with the problem of disasters, wouldn't it be a joke that he, the governor, has been rumored, and how can it be said that the Fengtian side has to make some efforts.

"Send a telegram to Heilongjiang and Jilin, each collect 10,000 quintals of grain, and another 20,000 quintals from Fengtian Province, and strictly order grain merchants from all over the country to hoard Juqi, and once the high-priced grain sellers are found, all the grain will be seized." Xiliang thought for a while and ordered, "Ship 10,000 loads of grain to Taonan first, and slowly relieve Taonan's urgent needs." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." Yuan Jinkai received the order, and said in his heart, this governor really doesn't value Qin Yu ordinarily.

"It's up to 4 taels and 4 dollars a load of silver?" Qin Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the telegram sent by Ni Jiting from Harbin, although he had long expected that Ni Jiting would increase the price, and when the matter came, he would be a little uncomfortable.

"My lord, this old man is really black-hearted, sit on the ground and start the price, next time they come to Taonan, I have to clean them up, it's a big deal not to buy their food." Wang Yuhai has a fierce face, he has been by Qin Yu's side for a long time, and he knows that Qin Yu is a very particular person in eating, even if he spends more silver taels on the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he is willing to spend more silver taels, but compared to Qin Yu's huge investment in the hungry people, it is a drop in the bucket, compared to those officials who say good things on their lips, look dignified, and really do things for the people but are ten million times stronger. Wang Yuhai is also from a poor family, and has a deeper understanding of the embarrassment in the hearts of those who fled to the hungry.

At this time, even in the cities of Guannai, one or two taels of rice was only five to six taels of silver, and the price of grain was cheaper outside the Guanwai, which was rich in wheat and beans. The Russians sold Qin Yu a lot of corn, wheat, beans and the like, and at this time it actually rose to 4 taels and 4 yuan of silver, and the price was already very expensive. It's no wonder that even Wang Yuhai was angry, a load of grain is nothing, but Qin Yu and Lao Maozi buy food, and tens of thousands of loads are moved, and the disparity in the middle is huge.

"Buy, don't buy anything for Lu, since Lao Maozi wants this price, just buy it, isn't the money for a life worth those few catties of rations." Qin Yu sneered, Ni Jiting is greedy now, in the final analysis, his status as consul in Harbin is much higher than that of himself, the commander of the old army of the Qing Dynasty, but if he eats it now, one day, Qin Yu will let Ni Jiting spit it out with interest.

"Your Excellency, a telegram from the Governor."

Qin Yu took the telegram and looked at it, and his heart felt a little more comfortable, but this Xiliang was still a reasonable person, holding the telegram, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.

Qin Yu finally solved the problem of food shortage in Taonan, and the Qing Dynasty ushered in the biggest economic crisis in the late period, and the collapsed rubber stocks were like a bombshell, blowing up Shanghai, the economic center of the Far East, into a mess, jumping into the sea, jumping off buildings, and jumping feet There are not a few people.

Because the people of Daosheng Foreign Bank ate Qin Yu's stock, after more than three months of joy, they fell into the ice kiln all of a sudden, how cold it is, the loss of silver taels in Shanghai is estimated to be about 40 million taels, and Daosheng Foreign Bank alone directly lost 5.85 million taels in this business, plus some stocks collected before, the loss was more than 8 million taels.

In addition to the threat of Japan and Russia, although there are some bandits, Qin Yu has been quite stable, Qin Yu has stayed in Benxi and Taonan for a few years, and he does not feel the slightest sense of chaos outside the Guan, but these Shanghai stock market crashes have evolved into an economic crisis of the Qing Dynasty, coupled with natural and man-made disasters in various parts of the Guannai for many years, and the hungry people are constantly rising, so that Qin Yu really began to feel that the era of turmoil is coming soon, and he is thinking about when to buy some arms from Lao Maozi through Ni Jiting's relationship to defend himself, A big epidemic that changed everyone's color came unexpectedly in the Northeast.

A train from the territory of Tsarist Russia into Manchuria, after only one or two days, there were one or two deaths in Manchuria, the infected people coughed before death, after death purple, the symptoms were miserable, at first there were not many deaths, local officials did not pay much attention to the epidemic, so that the plague along the Middle East Road all the way into Hulan, Qiqihar, Harbin. Due to the flooding in Northeast China this year, hungry people continue to pour into this new place in the summer and autumn, so that the plague has also entered the gradually densely populated Taonan.
