It was less than a week after the Ningxia Battle. On July 31, the situation in Ningxia reported by Zhang Mingrui, Yang Tianming and others about Ningxia made Zhao Zhenzhong a little overwhelmed. Although Zhao Zhenzhong had already learned from the telegrams of Zhang Mingrui, Yang Tianming and others that the disaster in Ningxia was severe and there were many hungry people in Longdong, but he did not expect that the disaster in Ningxia was so serious.

Earlier, Zhang Mingrui and others had telegraphed that due to the lack of seeds, about 40% of the cultivated land was not cultivated, while the disaster victims in Ningxia were roughly estimated to be no less than 300,000. After two and a half months, Zhang Mingrui and others discovered that after occupying Ningxia, there were only a small amount of summer grain harvest in Ningxia, and the autumn planting area was about half. The hungry people had already starved to death. The total population of the hungry people was estimated to be only about 700,000, which means that the hungry people in Ningxia accounted for more than half of the total population!

The large number of hungry people has also led to the huge amount of materials needed for their daily survival. The total area east of Helan Mountain in Ningxia, plus the Longdong area, is about 110,000 square kilometers. In such a vast area, its population is only more than 1.5 million, and there are nearly 700,000 hungry people! Even if each person only supplies one kilogram of grain per day, it will consume 350 tons of grain that day. From now until the autumn harvest, at least 31,500 tons of grain is needed! Zhao Zhenzhong and others used all means to transport the food to Hexi, Hedong and Longdong areas in Ningxia only 14,000 tons, which is less than half of the required food!

In addition to the problems caused by hunger people, Ningxia also had the problem of economic order chaos caused by Feng Yuxiang's army's excessive issuance of military invoices. Before the Central Plains War, Feng Yuxiang's army issued 3.5 million military tickets in Ningxia alone in order to purchase military supplies from the public. Faced with the strength of Feng's army, Ma Hongbin, appointed by Feng Yuxiang, at that time, dared not accept such a large number of military tickets. When Feng Yuxiang failed to rebel against Chiang Kai-shek, these excessively issued military tickets almost turned into waste paper overnight. And the Ma Hongbin government

In order to stabilize the situation in Ningxia, a small number of military tickets were acquired, and it was admitted that the part of the military tickets could be valued by the buyer and seller. That is to say, the part of the military tickets can still be circulated, but the value is determined by the buyer and seller who use the military tickets. In this way, at this time, the buyer and seller here can be worth 10 oceans of military tickets, and by then, there may not be even 5 oceans of things elsewhere. This makes Ningxia's economic order increasingly chaotic, and disputes caused by the use of military tickets are everywhere and difficult to deal with.

Faced with the chaos caused by military tickets, Ma Hongbin was also willing to sort out, but Ningxia's finances were exhausted at that time, and even daily administrative expenditures were difficult. In the end, Ma Hongbin could only be powerless. After Ma Hongbin came to Gansu to take office at the beginning of this year, Ma Fushou, director of the Civil Affairs Department, acted as the chairman of Ningxia Province, but Ma Fushou only cared about plundering people's wealth and had no intention or ability to manage military tickets.

Zhang Mingrui and others said in the telegram: "If the military ticket matter is not resolved, the people in Ningxia will be uneasy and the chaos may continue. If our department forcibly bans the circulation of military tickets, it may lead to public grievances, which will not help our department establish a consolidated base in Ningxia. Please make clear what to do, sir."

Zhao Zhenzhong had seen the harm caused by indiscriminate military invoices at the end of last year in Shanxi. After the war last year, the ratio of Jin votes to the ocean dropped from 1:1 before the war to 30:1. Jin votes with a total value of about 60 million in Shanxi were not worth 2 million! Affected by this, Shanxi prices soared, people's livelihood was difficult, and many industries went bankrupt. It was precisely because of the extremely financial difficulties of the Shanxi Provincial Government at that time that Zhao Zhenzhong was able to obtain the consent of Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen, and finally obtained the right to start a mining industry and build a construction in several counties northwest of Shanxi, and operate the Tongpu Railway.

After the Battle of Longdong, Yang Tianming, Liu Jifeng, Xu Chaoyuan and others also mentioned the issue of Feng Yuxiang's army's over-issuance of military invoices in relevant reports. However, because Longdong was under the control of several people such as Chen Guizhang and others who started their business as anti-Feng, and after the war last year, Chen Guizhang and others consciously wiped out the remnants of Feng Yuxiang's army in Longdong, the Feng's army in Longdong was not circulated in Longdong, so Zhao Zhenzhong did not pay much attention.

Zhao Zhenzhong could naturally take out 3.5 million oceans, but Zhao Zhenzhong did not want to collect military tickets now and pay for Feng Yuxiang's bad debts. In addition to the difficulty in transporting the northwest due to the 3.5 million oceans weighing more than 90 tons, Zhao Zhenzhong also wanted to turn this trouble into an opportunity to promote his side's stability in Ningxia.

After some consideration, Zhao Zhen, Zhongdian, Yang, Liu, Xu and others made the following provisions on disaster victim assistance, military ticket redemption and other matters:

1. Food issues

The Yellow River waterway has been suspended due to the flood season. Before the end of the flood season, the Dongsheng stockpile grain can be transported to Longdong and Ningxia for about 5,000 tons. In addition, our department originally stockpile grains in the two places will reach about 19,000 tons. These grains should be able to support our department and the victims until the end of the Yellow River flood season by the end of the end of the Yellow River flood season by the end of the end of the end of September.

In order to increase the maintenance time of our department and the victims, the victims can be supplied in a fixed amount of grain according to the population, and each person can supply it at 8 taels to one kilogram per day. In addition, it can also be inspected to obtain food by checking local tyrants and bad gentry to extend the maintenance time.

2. Military ticket issue

Military tickets are not yet collected, but they should be prohibited from circulation. To avoid chaos and disputes, after the circulation of military tickets is prohibited, each department may register the amount of military tickets held by the people according to the household, and publicize our department to collect the full amount in two years. At that time, the Northwest Bank established by our department will be collected and redeemed in detail.

In addition, with the consent of the public, our department may deposit the military tickets in the hands of the people in advance after issuing the certificate to the public. This item should be subject to the voluntary of the people and the ministries shall not force it.

Three, tax issues

In order to cooperate with our military ticket policy, people from Ningxia and Longdong can publicly exempt land tax for two years. Commercial taxes are inevitable, but they can be collected as appropriate according to the standards in Yimeng.

At the same time, all ministries should speed up the organization of manpower, measure the land, and allocate land to people without land and with little land, so that they can benefit from our ministry's policy of exempting land tax.

Four, business issues

In Longdong and Ningxia, the government shall establish a material company and be responsible for foreign commercial operations; after the government has registered and licensed, private enterprises may operate relevant industries in the base area, but shall not involve foreign business operations.

Five, Banking and Finance

Northwest Bank and related financial services will be organized by professional talents in the second half of the year. At that time, all departments should cooperate.

After receiving the resumption of the telegram from Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhang Mingrui from Hexi, Yang Tianming from Hedong and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Even Liu Jifeng from Longdong, Xu Chaoyuan and others were much more relieved.

"Looking at the Northwest Bank mentioned by Mr. Mr. is the preparation of professional talents. Could it be that the people who went to the United States to study in the second half of the year, can they come back?" Chen Zhiyuan guessed.

"Maybe." Zhang Mingrui nodded in agreement, "The first batch of people who went to the United States have been there for 6 years, and they should have achieved success in their studies. When Zhou Hao went to Yimeng in the early lunar month, I heard him say he would come back in the second half of the year. I guess he is not the only one who comes back by then."

"Hey, you guys say, if Zhou Tian comes back, will the sir do the wedding?" Chen Hailan asked with a smile.

"This is hard to say." Zhang Mingrui also smiled, "If she stayed in China, there would probably be something similar; if she still wanted to go to the United States, it would probably be impossible this year."

"Anyway, according to the previous regulations of Mr., both of them are old enough. If not, let's urge them together?" Chen Zhiyuan said with an idea.

"Puchi..." Zhang Mingrui, who was holding the cup to drink water, suddenly burst into laughter. After putting down the cup, Zhang Mingrui touched Chen Zhiyuan's forehead and smiled and said, "Are you okay? Is it your urge to do a wedding? "Sir, do you want you to urge me?"

The three of them started to laugh and make a fuss.

...

After just solving Ningxia, a series of policies were formulated. Zhao Zhenzhong originally thought that he could be relaxed for a while and was preparing to return to Qingdao to welcome Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao and others who would return to China in mid-August. Unexpectedly, the flood on the Yangtze River in the south was surging and the number of people affected increased sharply. Zhu Qinglan even made a special trip to Baode to find Zhao Zhenzhong on August 5.

"I believe you have heard of the floods in the Yangtze River. The day before yesterday, Hankou was flooded three or four feet deep. Yesterday, the Nanjing State Conference disclosed that the floods in 16 provinces were disasters, with more than 50 million victims. Can you contact Huamei Company to help raise some disaster relief supplies? Especially food, medicine and other urgently shortages." After meeting, Zhu Qinglan, who was already familiar with each other, did not make many conspiracies and asked directly.

"I just saw the news from the newspaper. I didn't expect there were so many victims this time." Zhao Zhenzhong looked solemn and nodded, "I have contacted Huamei Company before about disaster relief supplies. Some supplies should have arrived in Qingdao this month. However, this was prepared for the previous disaster area in Liaoning. At that time, I didn't expect that the flood in the Yangtze River would be so big."

After a pause, Zhao Zhenzhong said again: "I see the situation. If possible, I can first move some of the materials from this batch of materials to the disaster area in the Yangtze River. However, this transportation is also a problem."

"As long as there is materials, I will solve the problem of transportation." When he heard that there were materials, Zhu Qinglan felt relieved and asked: "How much material can be moved out to the Yangtze River disaster area?"

"I guess I can move out 10,000 tons of grain and some medicines." Then, Zhao Zhenzhong asked again, "It has been more than 20 days since the entire county of Xinghua, Jiangsu Province was flooded due to the canal collapse on July 12. During this period, Hankou and Nanjing also suffered floods. Why did the Nanjing government ask the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Finance to discuss relief measures yesterday? Do you have to wait until the situation is out of control before the government comes forward?"

"Although I am now in the name of a supervisory committee member, the officials in Nanjing do not seem to be respectful on the surface, but in fact no one will buy my account." Zhu Qinglan said angrily, "In their eyes, fighting against dissidents and maintaining their own power is more important than anything else. Look at Shi Yousan, look at Wang Zhaoming, and those positions in Nanjing, there is nothing good!"

"I once asked the uncle if the Ministry of Finance could increase the relief funds, but the uncle claimed that the debts borrowed from the war last year had not been paid off yet, and the disaster relief funds were difficult to increase. That's fine, but the most annoying thing is that the uncle actually disagrees with the opinions of several legislators to increase the disaster relief bonds. What do you think this is a matter?!"

Generally speaking, the government wants to increase the budget, but the Legislative Yuan disagrees. Now the legislator first proposes to increase the public debt for disaster relief, but Song Ziwen actually disagrees. Zhao Zhenzhong really doesn't know what he thinks.

"Mr. Zhu, you don't have to be angry with such people." Zhao Zhenzhong handed the old man a glass of water and said, "It is precisely because the domestic government officials acted like this that Huamei Company was unwilling to hand over the disaster relief materials they raised to them for processing. This time, we still follow the previous practice. All the disaster relief materials provided by Huamei Company were handed over to the North China Charity Federation for processing. We are 10,000 of Mr. Zhu, and 10,000 of those in Nanjing."

"Zhenzhong, you really look down on me. I didn't say anything. I must arrange the distribution of disaster relief supplies, and there is no mistake." Zhu Qinglan responded.

"In addition, there must be many homeless victims in the disaster area of ​​the Yangtze River. I can communicate with some Chinese companies in Nanyang. Can Mr. Zhu also coordinate with relevant parties to let Chinese companies in Nanyang recruit some victims to work?" Zhao Zhen moved in the center and suggested, "In this way, the victims can have a way out and the authorities can also alleviate some pressure."
