Chu Mingyuan rushed back to Fengtian from Rehe, and according to Zhang Tinglan's instructions, he relied on loans to establish a large ranch in the Rehe area. Since the first batch of farms in the three eastern provinces were already profitable, and the common people had funds in their hands, they had to start improving agricultural tools, and the price of cattle and horses suddenly increased.

And with the outbreak of the Russian Civil War, the demand for military canned food has increased unabated, and the demand for meat is also very strong, and the farm built by Chu Mingyuan has continued to expand, and the total area under control has reached more than 3 million mu, raising more than 10 million cattle and sheep, and has become the largest livestock supply base in the entire Eastern Mongolia.

He was not satisfied, so this year he successively established a woolen mill, a canning factory, a leather clothing factory, and invested in the largest livestock trading center in Chifeng. At the same time, it has extended its tentacles to Chahar and Suiyuan, and the number of farmers and herdsmen under its direct control has exceeded 100,000.

The part of the victims he was responsible for at the beginning had already been lifted out of poverty and become rich, and within five years, they had their own land and houses. And many of them have become managers of new farms and factories, and their identities have changed dramatically from farmers to entrepreneurs.

Everyone no longer has to worry about not having enough to eat, Chu Mingyuan is not only developing the economy, but also investing heavily in education, and all the children of farm members can enjoy subsidies for studying, and the better the grades, the higher the degree, the more subsidies they will get. After graduating from high school, the farm is in charge of arranging the work. Any family, as long as there is a college student, will be rewarded with a hundred oceans, college students can choose their own industry, or they can return to the ranch and be able to directly enter the management.

The drastic changes in life are unimaginable for the victims who were originally struggling on the brink of life and death. Many of them were even richer than the richest landlord in the village, and had seen more of the world, and they were all full of faith and hope that the future would be better.

Being able to do this step was also unexpected by Chu Mingyuan, but seeing that the farmers had embarked on the road to prosperity, he had some other ideas, no matter how well the enterprise was run, after all, the people who could benefit were very limited, and a suitable policy. But it can benefit all the people.

He thought about it for a long time, and was ready to go to Fengtian to meet Zhang Tinglan and Wang Yongjiang, especially when he also knew that Zhang Zuolin was assassinated, and Fengtian was in a period of violent turmoil, and he also wanted to share his worries for Zhang Tinglan.

But after arriving in Mukden. Chu Mingyuan was stunned all of a sudden, and there was a lot of disturbance everywhere. There was a lot of disturbance in the streets. Many students took to the streets, waving various slogans to demonstrate. All the wine, rice and tea shops are talking about it, and the guests are talking about Zhao Tianhong's arrest.

Chu Mingyuan bought a newspaper casually, and the headline on the front page was the article "Please release people again" in the "Fengtian Morning Post". After such a long period of training, he has long been able to deal with all kinds of things calmly. After reading the newspaper carefully to figure out what was going on, he smiled dumbly and tore the ridiculous newspaper to shreds.

At this time. A group of students happened to parade past here, and Chu Mingyuan strode in front of these students, blocking their way.

"Students, everyone wait a minute, I want to ask you, weishenme is going to launch a march?"

When a student at the head saw that someone was blocking them, he immediately glared at him: "Who are you, do you want to be a minion for the government, get out of my way quickly!" ”

Chu Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Student, reading is reasonable, I am just an ordinary passerby, I am just curious, if you are really reasonable, just say it, let people be convinced, why bother to speak disrespectfully, lose your demeanor in vain." ”

"Hmph, what else is there to say, the government illegally arrested reporter Zhao, suppressed freedom of speech, and wanted all the people to be slaves, so we naturally have to stand up, ask for the people's lives, and fight the tyrannical and authoritarian government to the end."

While speaking, many people gathered around, and a man in his forties couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the student's words: "I said student, I have lived most of my life in Mukden, that is, life has improved in the past two years, and the government has done a lot of things for us, with fewer taxes, better public security, and more money." How can you say that the Mukden government wants to treat us as slaves, not like words, not like words! ”

These words won the nods and praise of many people, but the student still pouted and sneered: "There is nothing unclear about this truth, it's just pig breeding." First use small favors to buy people's hearts and paralyze their fighting spirit. A place where there is no freedom, does not know how to respect the rule of law, and wantonly tramples on the rights of citizens, how can there be any long-term development. Don't be fooled by the small profits in front of you, the most precious thing in this world is dignity and freedom, without these things, what difference do we have from livestock. Looking at the whole of China, only the government in the northeast has the most sinister intentions, undermining academic freedom, suppressing speech, and disrespecting scholars. ”

This student's impassioned speech made everyone listen to it as specious, and they didn't know what to say, and they couldn't refute it, and he became more and more proud.

Chu Mingyuan suddenly smiled on the side: "In a word, it is exaggerated, and there is nothing!" You say that the government in Northeast China is the most reactionary and tyrannical, then I would like to ask, where is the people's livelihood the best, where is the industry the most developed, where is the education most popular, where the city is the best in construction, where is the burden on the peasants the lightest, where the tax burden is the least, where the beggars are the least, and where are the job opportunities the most? If these are small favors, what are the big things? weishenme in your mouth, the most unbearable government, able to provide the most haode living conditions? ”

In the face of Chu Mingyuan's repeated questions, this student was speechless, a young student who has never been in the world, it is okay to shout a few slogans, let him really talk about some social issues, it is still too tender. More and more citizens gathered over, and everyone heard Chu Mingyuan's words, and they couldn't stop nodding, and some even applauded.

"Sir, your words are exactly what we want to say, the Fengtian government is indeed good, it has done a lot of practical and good deeds, and accidentally arrested a reporter, so as not to cause trouble in the city!"

"That's right, I just arrested the person, and there is no news of the disposal, so why make a fuss and not forgive!"

"Students, you all go back to study, national affairs are not something you can mix, if you want to ask for life for the people, we all have an account in our hearts, and we all know who is good and who is bad."

More and more people questioned it, and the effect was much better than Chu Mingyuan's, making the students' momentum a little weaker. They came out to march to win the support of these people, and then they could set off a bigger wave, but the people didn't buy it, and they lost the courage to continue.

"It's all a bunch of foolish people, ignorant and insensitive, the Fengtian government can trample on the human rights and legal system today, arrest reporter Zhao, and arrest you tomorrow, if you don't object now, there will be no one to speak for you then!" The students at the head are still arguing.

Chu Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Students, you keep saying that you respect the legal system, you don't act according to the law, Zhao Tianhong was arrested, you can go to the police station and ask them to explain the reason, you can go to the court to appeal, take the formal way to solve the problem." As a result, if you don't do any of these things, you insist that the Mukden government is trampling on the rule of law, and if you find out that the reporter is really problematic and should be arrested, what should you do? ”

While he was talking, a young man suddenly ran over in a panic and shouted loudly: "Big news, big news!" The "Fengtian Morning Post" was confiscated, and a large number of documents were found in the newspaper, and the boss behind it was the South Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., and many members of the newspaper were involved in the espionage case. ”

This news was like a thunderbolt, which fell on everyone's heads, and smashed many people out at once. Zhao Tianhong, who was constantly boasted, turned out to be a spy, and the "Fengtian Morning Post," which put on a posture of asking for the people's lives, turned out to be a newspaper controlled by the Japanese.

Then for whom they are asking for their lives, setting off a wave of demonstrations against the Mukden government, it is self-evident what insidious intentions they have.

"Students, don't you hear that. It's time to catch it, it's good to catch it! Asking for the lives of the people, are you asking for the lives of the Japanese? ”

The situation changed abruptly, and in the face of the doubts of these citizens, the students' faces turned red, and they were eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and several of them even cried violently, they could not have imagined that such a situation would occur.

Chu Mingyuan smiled at everyone and said: "Students, I believe that you don't have the intention to speak for the spy, if you know the problem of the "Fengtian Morning News", maybe you hate us more than us, you are all deceived." But you should also review your own behavior, it's not a bad thing to have enthusiasm, but you have to use your brain more to do things, think more, don't follow the crowd, sometimes you don't know if you are used by others. ”

"Sir, we don't all want to march, it's the teachers who forced us to come out, if we don't come out, they will let us fail the course, and we won't even be able to graduate!" A schoolgirl cried.

Chu Mingyuan's brows suddenly rose, he was a teacher of some bad things, he had already experienced it himself, and said with a sneer: "If my guess is right, your teacher is hiding behind the scenes again, he dances and drinks, let you come out and risk going out on the street, these guys are simply instigators, they are literary thieves!" ”

Not only Chu Mingyuan looked at it this way, Zhang Tinglan also had a detailed list in his hand, and Chang Yinhuai introduced on the side: "Humble words, most of these teachers who jumped out are students who have studied in Japan, and these people can't get in touch with too much science and engineering knowledge in Japan, so most of them teach things like Chinese literature and history, and this time they are instigating it behind their backs." ”

"Get rid of them all, these pro-Japanese teachers are more harmful than spies, they must not be left behind, and they must not be allowed to harm students again!" (To be continued......)
