Chapter 412: Who Else Is I?
Wu Shigong heard the question of the displaced people, and his heart became irritable again. He couldn't help but get up and walk around the study. And seeing Wu Shigong's indecisiveness, all the people in the room held their breath, not daring to disturb Wu Shigong's thinking, just waiting for him to make a decision to zuihou.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Shigong finally made up his mind. He sat back in his place and began to tell the people present about his failure to borrow money from Nanjing.
Regarding Wu Shigong's failed loan of money, Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli actually knew the result. At this time, it is nothing more than listening to Wu Shigong's introduction of the detailed process again. However, because the current finances of the Runing Army can still support it, Deng Qifan and the others do not have the feeling that the sky is falling.
After finishing speaking, Wu Shigong said: "Actually, this time I couldn't borrow silver, but it gave me the biggest gain." That is to abandon all illusions, and everything we do in the Runing Army must be up to us. ”
"The food and salary on the side of the court are unreliable; The friendship of the noble officials and eunuchs is unreliable; Even the government is unreliable; Friendly forces are even more unreliable. We, the Runing Army, together with the militia group and the Department of Internal Affairs, have secretly developed 25,000 paid troops, as well as more than 800 local officials who are not recognized by the imperial court at all. ”
"To tell the truth, as long as the imperial court gives an order, if we are obedient to the Ru Ning Army, then our foundation will disappear immediately, are you willing to lose everything in your hands?"
"But what is our Runing Army doing at such a big risk? In this troubled era, we persuaded to study, fight disasters and persuade farmers, stabilize the place, rescue the homeless, and sacrificed so many good sons to fight with the Tartars and Shaanxi bandits. Are we weishenme? For the Ming Dynasty, for the Chinese clothes handed down by our ancestors! ”
As he spoke, Wu Shigong's voice became high-pitched, and his expression was obviously excited. Wu Shigong slammed the table and then shouted: "But who is there who shares weal and sorrow with us?" Is there anyone who helps us a little bit? No! Not a single one! knew that they were drunk and dreamed of death, and they were waiting for this edifice to fall! ”
"Since there isn't! Then we'll do it ourselves! I admit that our Runing Army is still very weak. But even if I threw all our belongings into it, I have no regrets. We, the Runing Army, are the best sons and daughters of China, and we are the elite of the elite! This is the responsibility given to us by God and the ancestors of all generations in China. ”
"Starting today, the entire border between Runing Province and Guide Province will be opened, and all displaced people will begin to be screened. The families of scholars above the children and the eunuchs are all properly resettled; Craftsmen, horseback riders, firearms, literacy, and other useful persons were also received; Orphans under the age of 14 and orphans over the age of 60 are also accepted, and their placement and living expenses are borne by my inner house. ”
In addition, all the displaced people, as long as they pay a resettlement fee of one tael per person, will also accept all of them. If you can't pay it for the time being, you can return it at a discount for our Runing Army in the future. However, their placement must also follow the arrangement of our Runing Army! ”
"Your Excellency!" Deng Qifan immediately left the table and got up. He bowed and said, "My lord's benevolence is innumerable!" The students are not talented, but they also have little family resources, and they are also willing to bear the maintenance costs of orphans and orphans. Moreover, what the Lord has done should be widely publicized, so that the princes of the court and all the people in the world know about the benevolence of the Lord of the Lord! ”
I heard Deng Qifan's words. The rest of the room also stood up to make a statement. Wu Shigong smiled and asked everyone to sit down: "I understand your righteous deeds, but let's keep our wives busy with that kind of soup and clothing." The old ladies have been idle in the inner house, and it is troublesome. Let them keep busy, and we won't have to worry about it! ”
Wu Shigong's words caused laughter in the study. Wu Shigong continued: "But what Mr. Deng said just now is very reasonable. It is necessary to attach importance to publicity. Our Runing army has lost money. Isn't that enough for us to shout? Even if the court doesn't care about it, we can't find an official who is willing to shout for us. However, in the schools opened by our Runing Army, all the armies, as well as the Tuntian Zhuangzi and the major homeless people's gathering points, must publicize these contents to everyone's ears. ”
Also, Mr. Deng found an official who was articulate and had a more active brain, and set up a propaganda bureau first. Put him in charge of that. Tell him again, if this matter is done well, then the Propaganda Bureau will be upgraded to the Propaganda Department. ”
Deng Qifan immediately saluted and promised!
Then the formal deliberations began. Wu Shigong first threw out the modern financial industry that he thought of. There were so many whimsical ideas that everyone here was stunned.
However, they decided on the spot that the savings business of Sihai Money Bank would be implemented immediately. There are no after-effects of this business. At worst, there is no one to save. As for the other financial industries, Yuan Xingshan will be in charge, and he will convene the senior treasurers of the Sihai Commercial Bank and the Sihai Money Bank to jointly discuss, and strive to come up with one plan after another in the short term, and then the senior officials of the Runing Army will decide on the implementation one by one.
After that, it's a bit of a trifle. Basically, there are no major problems. Wu Shigong also coordinated things in the middle.
However, when it came to military issues, Wu Shigong paid attention to it: "Uncle Yongli! Although now it seems that the Shaanxi bandits are cornered. But let's imagine if the Shaanxi bandits survived, where would their next move go? I think there is a great possibility that we will be in Henan. ”
"The Nanyang Legion reported from there: There are a large number of chaotic activities around Nanyang Mansion City, and now Nanyang Mansion City only dares to open the city gate for one hour every day. And the Nanyang prefect and General Sun sent letters to the Nanyang Legion several times, asking the Nanyang Legion to rescue Fucheng. ”
"What I mean is, we can't move in that direction for the time being. In case the Shaanxi bandits get out of trouble and enter Henan, and the Nanyang Army goes out to rescue again, isn't it confronting the Shaanxi bandits? It's better to stay in Yexian's generation to keep the periphery of our Runing Army. ”
"Rusong's Runing Army should also be arranged on the southwest line of Runing Province to prevent the Shaanxi bandits from escaping. You must know that as long as the Shaanxi bandits enter Henan, then Nanyang Mansion or Henan Mansion will be their first stop! ”
"We, the Runing Army Headquarters, should also be prepared, and now we will stop our vacations and do a complete defense in our western direction. If you don't take the initiative, take a defensive position. It's too complicated there! (To be continued......)
