When the Xu Jiajun of Gannan Province swept the three provinces of Donghu, Qianhu and Pingfei in less than half a year with the power of thunder. Everyone knows that this young Gannan governor Xu Bin is no longer the Ameng he used to be. And really became a well-known warlord shili in Longhua.

Even if it was the largest revolutionary army in the south of Longhua in the past, now facing this Xu family army, which is gradually forming an advantage, it is also necessary to consider the attitude of interacting with it. Everyone knows that how can others sleep peacefully next to the couch, and the next situation in southern Longhua is afraid that the Xu Jiajun and the revolutionary army will compete with each other. In the end, who wins and who loses, it is really unknown.

It's just that no one knows that when all parties are concerned about how the Xu Jiajun and the Revolutionary Army will fight next. Xu Bin, the emerging Longhua warlord Haoqiang, unexpectedly invited the leader of the revolutionary army, Guo Tianyou, to come to Gannan to inspect. And took this opportunity to have a cordial business meeting with the revolutionary army led by Guo Tianyou.

Although the bilateral meeting was held in Ganzhou, Gannan Province, in the name of private contacts, all sides were concerned about the situation in the south. The meeting between the two southern giants undoubtedly completely dispelled the widely spread rumors that the two armies were about to go to war. Far from decreasing, the volume of commercial trade between Gannan and Nanbin has increased a lot compared to before.

What is even more puzzling to many foreigners is that in this meeting, Xu Bin took the initiative to build a railway connecting Gannan and Nanbin. This railway, which is thousands of kilometers long, is also rare in the railway network of Longhua Kingdom. Its funds were financed by Xu Bin, a warlord with deep pockets, and the revolutionary army, which was relatively lacking in funds, was responsible for the labor formation of the railway.

Throwing out such preferential conditions is undoubtedly a relief for Tianyou, who also lacks funds to control the situation. Especially after Guo Tianyou had a secret meeting with Xu Bin for three hours in private. Far from increasing the number of troops stationed on the two borders, the number of troops stationed on the two borders has decreased considerably, as others expected.

The merchants, who were originally apprehensive, naturally participated in bilateral trade more enthusiastically when they saw the scene of reconciliation between the two armies. Taking advantage of the port of Nanbin Province, the merchant trading volume of the two provinces increased considerably compared to the pre-war period.

This made the Sun Country, which was originally ready to blackmail the revolutionary army again, finally realize that the newly rising governor of Gannan is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. Its layout and political maneuver far exceeded their expectations.

Aware of the weapons that the revolutionary army was equipped. To a large extent, it will rely on the Sun Country in wartime, and it has passed the age of confusion. After a private meeting with Xu Bin, he finally realized how evil the Sun Country is. began to deliberately reduce the number of weapons equipped by the Sun Country with the revolutionary army, and specifically followed Xu Bin's suggestion to equip the troops with the standard weapons that Xu Jiajun began to mass-produce.

As for the fear that the Xu family army will limit their ammunition supply in the future. Wu Dao also generously said that as long as the revolutionary army is willing. He can be in the area controlled by the revolutionary army. Build an ammunition factory for the Revolutionary Army to supply these weapons. Of course. The funds for this need to be borne by the revolutionary army.

It was out of sincerity to Xu Bin and that during the talks that day, Xu Bin showed a democratic coalition government concept that was close to his ideas. made Guo Tianyou feel that this young warlord who was stunned in the eyes of others was actually a truly enthusiastic and iron-blooded warlord who protected the country. What he presents to outsiders is nothing more than a carefully disguised cloak.

Compared to other warlords, they have expanded their armaments and warfare. Xu Bin's development strategy is very simple, that is, to control one place and stabilize one place. Vigorously improve the local livelihood economy to cope with the major changes that may occur in the near future. At present, there are two military powers, Eagle Country and United States Country, which hold each other hostage to stabilize the overall situation of Longhua Kingdom.

Once the Sun Nation is desperate. Blatantly sent troops to invade Longhua Kingdom, whether the two military powers can intervene is really unknown. Xu Bin, who has never put the interests of the nation on the head of outsiders, has made careful preparations for the reunification of Longhua since the day he formed the Xu Family Army. He built the industrial base that had already formed a large scale in Gannan, and it was his hole card in case he often betrayed any ally for the sake of the national interest.

Perhaps because he felt that Xu Bin was a warlord who sincerely served the country and the people, and Guo Tianyou deliberately took the time to go to the rural areas of Ganzhou under Xu Bin's rule during the meeting. It was found that this place was completely different from the period when the revolutionary army was in control, showing two completely different rural areas. In the territory of Ganzhou Prefecture, which is controlled by Xu Jiajun, the people do not flee in all directions to make a living as before.

There was no period of rule of the revolutionary army, the bandit cottage like cow hair, and the life of the people in the entire Ganzhou made Guo Tianyou sigh. As a hero who led Longhuaguo out of the revolutionary revival, Guo Tianyou asked himself that after he became the leader of this revolutionary party, he also advocated improving the poverty situation of Nanbin and others.

But even if the taxes he gave were extremely low, the people under his rule were also miserable. This is similar to the people in Ganzhou, almost every family has surplus grain, and even many people have begun to build houses with all-brick structures. This is not a common thing at all in the southern provinces he rules.

From this point alone, Guo Tianyou asked himself that he was really inferior to the young governor of Gannan in front of him when it came to improving the living conditions of the people in the territory.

Tianyou, who is not ashamed to ask, also wants Xu Bin to inquire about how to improve the lives of these poor people. Xu Bin's answer to this question is also very simple, one is to let the people sincerely believe in the rulers, promulgate various laws related to them, and let the people thoroughly entertain.

The other is to rectify the rule of officials and make the common people trust the officials sent by the military government. In accordance with the various policies provided by the military government, the private economy has been vigorously developed while running agriculture. Even if you raise more chickens, ducks and livestock at home, you can bring them a lot of wealth in a year.

And most importantly, it is to create employment opportunities for these people in addition to farming. This is similar to the fact that every year during the agricultural slack period, Gannan Province will deliberately allocate part of the financial resources to improve the local bridge and road reconstruction. Organize these idle laborers in the countryside to do part-time work.

While the common people saw that their living environment had been improved, they had also been duly rewarded. As long as the road is open, the agricultural products produced in their homes will be sold as quickly as possible. Bring a steady stream of economic income to their families, instead of hearing that they are free to build roads for the government as before, and every family shirks it.

After all, the people are not stupid these days, as long as they do free things twice, it is difficult for the government to let them be fooled a third time. At this point, Xu Bin put forward a very fresh concept, that is, the credibility of the government. Only when the credibility and cohesion of the government led by those in power can any of his policies be maximized.

In addition to these policy programs that benefit the people, the policy of imposing the people that Xu Jiajun adheres to is also a source of income for these people. As long as there are young and strong people in the family, even if their children do not join the regular army. Participating in routine militia training each year is not as well paid as the regular army.

But it also allowed them to get military training, and at the same time, it also created additional economic wealth for their families. So much so that in other places, the warlords conscripted troops at every turn, and in the countryside under the rule of the Xu family army in Gannan, the children of the common people were proud to participate in the Xu family army.

At the end of each year, when the conscription is allocated, all villages and towns are like fighting a war, and the general mobilization of the whole village is only to send the best children in the village to the Xu family's army. This kind of people's support for the military government really shocked the situation Tianyou who had been inspected by a circle.

When leaving Ganzhou, Guo Tianyou also asked Xu Bin why he was so concerned about the lives of poor people. Rather than focusing more on workers and merchants, as others do. In this regard, Xu Bin's answer is also very simple, that is, the largest number of people in Longhua Country today are these poor people who seem to be ordinary and even inconspicuous in the eyes of other warlords.

As long as he has the support of the majority of the people, why should he be afraid of internal strife and external enemies? While carrying out the policy of hiding wealth from the people, he was also simultaneously carrying out the policy of hiding troops from the people. When this policy was reached, he showed a power that would make every invader fearful of the great changes in the country and the invasion of foreign enemies.

Of course, Xu Bin also admitted frankly that this kind of governance program may only be suitable for the places under the rule of Xu Jiajun, because he does not rely on collecting taxes from these people to feed the army. If other warlords try to copy this way of governance, the end result will be that nothing can be done, and the people will be suspicious of the junta.

The construction of this road that extends in all directions to the state capitals of Gannan Province requires a lot of funds allocated by the Gannan Military Government every year. As for the taxes collected by the provinces, except for a small amount after they were handed over to the governor's palace. More often than not, this part of the tax collected from the people is fed back to the good people under the rule. It is this kind of single-minded management that can change the face of Gannan almost every day.

If Namhama wants to pursue such a policy, the prerequisite is that the junta must have money in its hands. If you don't have money, all your ideas are in vain. And it's not a one-time investment, it's a long-term commitment. At this point, Xu Bin also calculated very clearly. Without sufficient financial support, any policies he issued will be postponed.

Now the business circle built around Linzhou Mansion brings Xu Bin a lot of business taxes every month. It is precisely because of these tax policies that Xu Bin has sufficient capital. In the land of Gannan, he planned his blueprint for the future of Longhua Kingdom.

And Gannan Province is his starting point, and he will use this as a pedal to steadily implement the Gannan New Deal. It wasn't until he felt that when he had the absolute strength to dominate the whole country, the Xu Jiajun led by him would come back again to create a real peaceful and prosperous era for the thousands of people in Longhua!
