"Uncle Shan, you've worked hard during this time, how is the situation on the ground?"

After dinner, while Sanniang was cleaning up the table, Hu Rui held the teacup and sat in the study with his cheap father and Uncle Shan.

"Young Master, this is the list of state and county officials below, please take a look! And the army that you trained single-handedly is in town, and the local situation is quite smooth. ”

Uncle Shan said as he took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it over respectfully.

"Forget the list, you are affected, or the sentence is okay with small greed, and big greed is never light! As for the abuse of power or something, naturally it will not be tolerated! Our own cadre training class has also been opened, so we don't have to worry about no one to shoulder the burden. ”

Hu Rui waved his hand, covered his head and said lightly.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are clear, there are no disciples, Hu Rui understands this truth.

"Young master, you relax, they are all old fritters mixed up in officialdom, and they know how to measure. The old slave must have the right to help this young lady preside over the operation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. You're ......"

Uncle Shan solemnly assured that thousands of miles for officials are only for money, and everyone understands this truth.

"Hmph, I'm special! The Willow Camp is the Willow Camp! Doing two things, nothing can be done! Bastard, Sanniang is a good girl, follow you before and after the saddle, born and die, why do you need people to help you keep an eye on the place?! Dad doesn't believe that this Anhui province is a place, you have been in business for several years, there will be no one who can take on a big job! ”

Old man Hu, who was drinking tea on the side, suddenly slapped the tea bowl on the desk, knocked on the crutches, and scolded angrily.

"Dad, am I your own?! This hasn't even entered the door, and you're in short protect. Who the hell is your own?! Now that the Anhui Provisional Military Government has just been established, there are a myriad of local affairs, and this matter of supervision and inspection is inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Intelligence. Besides, this intelligence department is big, and Sanniang doesn't work alone......"

Hu Dashuai, who was scolded, touched his nose and replied sourly.

"Humph......"

Old Man Hu's face finally improved, and he snorted and continued to taste tea.

"Young master, this year's taxes have been collected, and at the beginning of spring, many places have flooded and collapsed into dams. There is a slight impact on the grain harvest. Coupled with the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction we have implemented, this year's tax revenue is more than half a year less than in previous years. This is still the result of the commercial tax subsidy, and we are afraid that we will not be able to make ends meet next year. The general ground rent is about 30%, and we promote rent reduction and interest reduction, and suddenly reduce the ground rent to 20%. This is equivalent to cutting meat on the body of a local squire! If this tax is not lowered, there will really be a stir in this place. ”

Uncle Shan quickly stepped into the role. Report your work with due diligence.

"A thousand-year-old family. A hundred-year-old royal family, these local squires and clans really can't be underestimated. Since we want to implement the policy of reducing rent and interest rates, the appropriate adjustment of the tax rate is also complementary to each other. The land problem is the big one, and we can't completely use the strong ones in this regard, and there are intellectuals on the market who can read and write now. The vast majority were born into landlord families. If it is really urgent, and there is a commotion, the first to cause chaos is the army, and the vast majority of the officers who lead the troops are from landlord families...... That's it. Let's go step by step, next year's financial expenditure on education, transportation, and military and political affairs cannot be reduced, let's take a look at the rest, cut some appropriately, and if it doesn't work, I'll take out some more here. How did Jihua who exchanged shares for land going? ”

After a moment of silence, Hu Rui asked.

The land problem is a big problem, and if the relationship between the landlord and the tenant is not handled well, it will cause civil unrest. The vigorous agrarian revolutionary movement of the rabbit family in later generations made Hu Rui remember it vividly. During the War of Liberation, a land reform was exchanged for the full support of the people in the liberated areas. The former migrant workers used a wheelbarrow to push forward the victory of the three major battles.

The Chinese people are the kindest and hard-working people in Shijie, and for thousands of years they have long been accustomed to working with their backs to the loess facing the sky, digging food in the soil, as long as they have a bite to eat, they will never take risks. If we want to solve the problem of people's livelihood, the land problem has become the first problem! For an agrarian country to transform into an industrial country, the difficulty and resistance are no less than groundbreaking. After all, for thousands of years, the gentry who were the owners of the land had long been accustomed to harvesting silver money from the land, a direct and cheap means.

"Young master, it's okay to say that Wuhu and the surrounding five counties are here, after all, it's where the young master started. In these years, the young master has set up industries in Wuhu, industrial parks and steel factories in Anshan, so the income is not blushing? The businessmen who chose to invest in the industrial park before have made a lot of money every year over the years, which is the most haode publicity! There is basically nothing to say in Wuhu, and the second phase of the industrial park and related light industry production are also steadily being carried out. Ready-made examples are in front of you, which of those squires didn't have a sharpened head and drilled into it? There are already people who are willing to use thousands of acres of land in their hands to exchange all the dry shares of the factory, hey, compared with the dividends at the end of the year, it is a day and a place! But it's not easy to say a little farther away, Hefei. The Li family openly connived at Jia Ding to injure the members of the propaganda team, and although they lost the money afterwards and apologized, the situation in other places was roughly similar for the rent reduction and interest reduction. There is a Sun Yuyun in Anqing, who has considerable influence among the squires in the province and is willing to help. It's just that he has a lot of appetite, and he wants a director of the council when he opens his mouth! Young master, do you think such an important position can be given away casually?! ”

When it comes to Jihua who exchanges equity for land, Uncle Shan is ashamed for a while, and at the same time, he can't help but hate itchy. This is simply taking advantage of the fire to rob and sell it with a face!

"Sun Yuyun, a member of the Alliance, an Anhui family. There is a brother who once lived in the military aircraft department and has considerable influence in Anhui. It seems that some people's hands are stretched out so long, and they want to play the game of empty gloves and white wolves again, and they want to use the Advisory Bureau and public opinion to touch us in Anhui out of thin air! Hmph, what a big appetite! ”

Chewing on the information he had seen in the Intelligence Department before, Hu Rui sneered and took the case.

How can you allow others to snore next to the couch, it seems that the tiger is not powerful, and there are really people who take themselves inappropriately!

"Shen Bin!"

Hu Dashuai, who was furious, yelled.

"Here! Please command! ”

Hearing the roar, as an adjutant, Shen Bin knew that someone must be unlucky, his good-natured handsome man was really angry! Immediately trotted all the way from the attendant's room to the study.

"Order, the two local garrison regiments stationed in Hefei will start early tomorrow morning in the name of military exercises and surround the Li family in Hefei! Don't talk nonsense, just catch me! The Propaganda Department should do a good job in the corresponding propaganda work! ”

Hu Rui slapped the mahogany on the desk, his face pale.

"What's the matter, angry?"

Sanniang put Hu Rui's head on her lap and lay down, and asked strangely.

"If the tiger is not powerful, there are really people who treat us as sick cats! Bastard! ”

Hu Rui irritably took off his big-brimmed hat, shook it off casually, and replied indignantly.

"Like you said, some people are not very capable but not very ambitious. The way of civil and military affairs is relaxed, when it should be hard, it must be hard, and it is time to make an example of chickens and monkeys. Okay, okay, don't be angry, look at this, the secret message just sent from Wuchang Station. ”

Sanniang comforted someone who was angry and rushed to the crown while handing over a telegram.

"The U.S. consulate refuses to maneuver from this? Hmph, that's expected! ”

Hu Rui sneered and left Sanniang's plump thighs, patting the newspaper and sneering.

It is no wonder that later historians said that the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China were the era of idealists, and according to some practices of Sun Dacang and Li Yuanhong, the ancients did not deceive me! In these years, the most realistic thing is that those foreign devils, all of whom are masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles! Previously, Sun You traveled to Paris and made a generous statement to the French Chamber of Commons, hoping that the French government would come forward to prevent the alliance between Japan and Russia, but he was rejected on the spot!

In the final analysis, it is all a good word! The bandits in Europe only see real money in their eyes! Even if they are clever and sharp, they don't want to say that they can do their part! The same goes for Li Yuanhong!

"The one from Wuchang is still hesitating, should I add fire and urge?"

Sanniang's eyes were blazing, she thought for a moment, and asked.

"If my estimate is correct, Nanjing will soon jump out to negotiate with Beiyang. Yuan Shikai's original intention was to promote peace and take the world lightly, we defeated the Beiyang Army twice in a row in Wuchang and Hanyang, which will Feng Guozhang's onslaught on Hanyang is not only revenge, but also really re-compete for the initiative! Whether it is someone Li who is blocked at the door of the house or someone in Beijing, they are already waiting impatiently. As soon as the talks begin, Li Yuanhong may be isolated, and the alliance will definitely be able to bypass Li Yuanhong and negotiate directly with Beiyang. Someone will help us burn this fire! ”

Hu Rui smiled like a stick, at least the one in Wuchang was eaten by him. (To be continued......)
