Chapter 65 The Red Cross
Everyone thought it was very fresh and returned to the county government. Li Tiancheng temporarily worked in the county government these days and lived in a mansion not far outside at night. The main leaders of the military government lived in a house nearby that they had bought for money. Several streets near their residence have been subject to martial law, and soldiers were strictly guarding it, so others were not allowed to approach without authorization.
After a while of busyness, Li Tiancheng returned to the new house. The new house was fifty meters away from the county government gate. There was a large park there. There were only a few sparse houses nearby, which had been rented out by the Li family army. There were no people walking in the nearby streets, and there were soldiers patrolling with guns around.
Li Tiancheng returned to the house under the escort of Lan Wenhu's guard company. Lan Wenhu and Lan Yue'er lived next to Li Tiancheng. The house was not big, with only one main building, and there were several small bungalows and gardens next to it. There were soldiers guarding it everywhere. There were many levels within a few hundred meters of the street outside, and ordinary people could not get close to it.
After returning to the room, Li Tiancheng took a mirror and finally found the feeling of his future generations. He was very satisfied with this hairstyle and immediately recalled the scene of himself and his college classmates going to the theater to watch the movie "Informer" starring Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung, which was quite emotional.
"This hairstyle is a hundred times more elegant than the extra braids." Li Tiancheng said intoxicatedly, then put down the mirror and lay on the recliner next to him with a comfortable expression.
"Brother Cheng, this is the red date lotus seed soup I made. You are very tired these days, and it's time to replenish your body." Lan Yue'er's pair of fair jade hands appeared at the door. She held a small porcelain bowl on her hand, which contained a bowl of fragrant lotus seed soup. Then she walked in from the door of Xuying.
"You are so caring!" Li Tiancheng has been very busy these days. He hasn't seen Lan Yue'er for several days. He misses the delicious dishes she made and the various delicious soups she made.
Li Tiancheng immediately stood up from the chair, walked over and took the lotus seed soup from Lan Yue'er's hand, and then began to taste it carefully.
"Yue'er, you're twenty-four years old this year. You're one year older than me. Girls are so old, it's time to get married. What about me to introduce a handsome guy to you another day?" After Li Tiancheng finished the soup comfortably, he turned his head to look at Lan Yue'er. Seeing her eyes that had become much more mature, with a shallow and charming smile in her eyes, he suddenly thought of a question.
"Now it is the revolutionary period. Brother Cheng has become the chairman of the revolutionary party and is still a bachelor. I, Lan Yue'er, is a little girl. How can I only care about personal greed for enjoyment and ignore the great cause of revolution? I will stay by your side to take care of you until a woman who can take care of you for a long time appears beside you and know how to be considerate of you." Lan Yue'er's pretty face turned slightly red when she was said by Li Tiancheng.
"Brother Cheng, Miss Third has arrived. She is waiting for you in the living room." Li Tiancheng was about to continue talking about this topic, but Lan Yue'er interrupted him.
"Miss Third Miss is here so soon. I'll go see her now. Thank you Yue'er, you can go back and rest too!"
Then Li Tiancheng walked out of the door, passed a corridor, walked down the dark red wooden staircase, and went down to the living room below.
"Brother Cheng, your hairstyle is so handsome!" The third lady was sitting on the leather sofa waiting. When she saw Li Tiancheng coming down, she jumped up like a spring, and her beautiful eyes flashed and glared at him.
"It's very handsome. When you go back, give your father and two brothers a suggestion, and cut your hair like this." Li Tiancheng immediately grinned and joked.
Then Li Tiancheng began to look at Zhu Xiaolian in reverse and saw that she was wearing military uniform, with a steel helmet on her head, a light gray military uniform of the Li family army, and a brown pistol holster on her waist, but she did not carry a gun. She probably was confiscated by the guards when she entered the door.
"Miss Three, you are so arrogant. When did you join the army? Our army does not recruit female soldiers?" Li Tiancheng looked up and down at Miss Three and asked in confusion.
"I have internal relations. It was recommended by my cousin, that is, the newly established Premier of the General Administration of the Military Government. Mr. Tan Jianye and Mr. Tan introduced me to join the Zhenguo Army. I am now the only female soldier company commander under the First Brigade of the Second Division of the Zhenguo Army. Please give me instructions!" Miss Third suddenly stood at attention, stood upright, and gave a standard military salute to Li Tiancheng, saying as if she was decent.
"Instruct you to be a dead man. Have you used your stubborn kung fu to bother your cousin to help you join the army? You are really dead!" Li Tiancheng knew that it must be the third lady who was slanderous and wanted to join the army. Tan Jianye had no choice but to help her clear the relationship. The army did not need a female company commander to drag her back.
"Chief is wise!" Seeing that Li Tiancheng saw through her scoundrel nature, the third lady immediately spitted out her jade tongue and squirted out a scent and said.
"Turn back and sit on the sofa!" Li Tiancheng was idle, so he started playing with the third lady and asked her to turn around and sit down.
After the two sat down, they began to talk about serious things.
"The purpose of my visit to you this time is to have a very important task to you. You have been graduating from Zhenhua Medical Major for more than a year and have been internship in the Battlefield Medical Office for about a year. I heard from the people below that although you look irritable, you are actually very careful and flexible. The medical staff have a high evaluation of you, especially the foreign doctors invited said that you have strong learning ability and can now perform surgery on patients independently, which is much faster than ordinary medical graduates." Li Tiancheng's expression returned to calm and said to the third lady seriously.
"That's all the leader is good!" Miss Third said half-jokingly.
"The chief has any important task to me. As long as it is a matter of killing someone with a gun, I pray that Xiaolian will not postpone it. Say, if you want to secretly execute someone, I will help you solve it all, and ensure that there is no living!" The third lady then continued to say unscrupulously.
"Our Zhenguo Army is a regular revolutionary team. Killing people must be tried. Now, killing an ordinary soldier must be sentenced by a temporary military court. Unless it is on the battlefield, the generals allow the temporary shooting of deserters. Do you think we are the ** gang, and you want to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Li Tiancheng said angrily when he heard this.
"Then what important task do you want me to perform?" Miss Third did not understand, she immediately frowned slightly, and said with her cherry mouth pouting.
"I am about to establish the Zhenguo Army General Hospital and the Red Cross General Association in Shanghai. I hope you can serve as the president of the Red Cross General Association and be responsible for this work. Do you have the confidence to take on this glorious and arduous task?" Li Tiancheng then explained the reason why Miss San came here this time.
"As such a big official, I have great power. I must have a lot of money in my hands." The third lady said in surprise when she heard this.
"The Red Cross's donations are raised from both social fundraising and government funding. This money is used to treat injuries and diseases, helping refugees and those poor people who have no money to cure diseases. The money won't happen to you. You are not allowed to embezzle and accept bribes. Otherwise, if I find out, I will ignore my relatives and wipe your neck directly." Li Tiancheng saw that the third lady looked greedy for money and immediately said solemnly.
"I, Zhu Xiaolian, is a wealthy lady from a famous family. How could she be greedy for such a small profit? You really underestimate me." Miss Third suddenly curled her lips with some displeasure.
"If I don't trust you, how could I give you such an important position? I just remind you that you should take office immediately, take off your military uniform and dress up virtuously, so that girls can get married."
"On behalf of all staff of the Chinese Red Cross Association, I told Chief Li that we will definitely complete all tasks assigned by the Chief and will never let down the people of the whole country's ardent expectations of us." Miss Third immediately changed her identity and said seriously.
"It's too early to talk about the whole country. China is so big. I don't know when the Zhenguo Army will be able to fight." Li Tiancheng said meaningfully.
Then Li Tiancheng confessed some specific matters of the Red Cross Association to Zhu Xiaolian, asking her to stay in Shanghai for some time and fully handle all matters of establishing the Red Cross Association. The initial funds were allocated from the Ministry of Finance under the General Administration. In the end, the third lady left happily.
At this time, major newspapers in Shanghai had published the news that the Shanghai Military Government, the CPP and the Zhenguo Army were officially established, which immediately caused widespread response in society. The people believed that the CPP's revolutionary program was based on sympathy with the working people, and the word "min" was based on the party, meaning people-oriented. Therefore, many civilians began to have a good impression of the Zhenguo Army. Even the revolutionaries felt that the Zhenguo Army's revolutionary program was not much different from them, and the balance in their hearts began to tilt towards the Zhenguo Army, which played a great role in promoting the rule of Shanghai and southern Jiangsu and conscription work in the future.
After the military occupation, An Ming announcement should be issued to implement some new policies. If these new policies are not supported, they will cause social unrest. Some military government measures to benefit the people will stabilize the situation as soon as possible.
Regarding the issue of circulating currency, after Chen Qimei became the governor of Shanghai in history, he used temporary military tickets as circulating currency, and later a large number of fake tickets appeared, which had to be banned. Taking this into consideration, Li Tiancheng did not change the silver dollar as circulating currency and would build another coin manufacturing bureau in Shanghai to ensure the supply of money and maintain the stability of economic life.
Other economic policies will be announced one after another, including various taxes that need to be cut to reduce the burden on civilians. Because the burden on various places was too heavy in the late Qing Dynasty, the frequent occurrence of tax resistance, rent resistance, rice grabbing and other incidents caused by tax resistance, rent resistance, and rice grabbing occurred, which was not conducive to social stability.
"Report Chairman, Clerk Chen Junsheng has taken people to Hangzhou by helicopter. Others have arrived in Hangzhou and are contacting our staff. They have just sent back the message, saying that everything is going well and asked the Chairman to wait for his good news." Li Tiancheng was about to take a moment, but the messenger Zhang He suddenly walked in to report.
ps: The breeze in the first month blows people, the flying clouds are beautiful, and the colorful scenery is also beautiful. Happy life is infinitely beautiful. Don’t stop laughing happily. The Spring Festival is here. I am sincere and send my feelings and convey my love. I wish you a happy Year of the Dragon, a happy family, health and peace!
