Arms Merchant of the Republic of China

Chapter 395 The Great Famine Breaks Out! 1

In July, the weather began to get hot, and Shanghai City is like a huge steamer. During the day, there are much fewer pedestrians on the street. Even if you go up the road barefoot, you can get a big bubble. Moreover, there is a big difference between the cities in the south and the north. The north is dry and hot! However, the city in the south is humid and hot. The whole body is as if it has just taken a shower, and there is a feeling of suffocating.

Just after July, the natural disasters that had occurred in history began to show great power. Grain production in various places were reduced and harvests were cut off. People who could not afford to pay grain rent to landlords were forced to leave their hometowns and began to look for a way to live in other places. As a prosperous metropolis, Shanghai, Peiping, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Chongqing Obviously, it has become a haven in the minds of the people.

It's just that this disaster is universal. The disaster situation across the country is equally serious. There is no place to avoid it. Throughout the Republic of China, there are people dressed in rags and begging with their families.

In Shanghai City recently, the waves of begging refugees have surged in like a tide. Fortunately, the Shanghai government has long received information from Du Haisheng in conjunction with Xue Yue, Sun Chuanfang, Song Ziwen, Liu Tianyu, Wang Yaqiao, Du Yuesheng and others, and has made sufficient preparations. In a chaotic situation, the police station also dispatched all the police to maintain local security!

"Brother Du, the problem seems to be worse than we thought!"

In the conference room of Du's enterprise, Du Haisheng, Song Ziwen, Chen Guangfu, Liu Tianyu, Wang Yaqiao, Yu Xuan, Zhao Tianming, Du Yuesheng, the owners of other grain firms in Shanghai, the plenipotentiary representatives of Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang, and Zhou Wenshan, director of the Shanghai Police Bureau, except for those grain merchants and Du Yuesheng. Everyone else is Du Haisheng's absolute confidant and friend.

At this time, everyone had a solemn face. Liu Tianyu, Wang Yaqiao, Zhao Tianming, Du Yuesheng and others kept smoking the smoke in their hands. One by one, their eyes were gently sprayed out, and the whole conference room was smoky.

The atmosphere in the field was very strange. Everyone present frowned and sighed, but it was a rare silence. No one spoke!

Song Ziwen played with a Parker pen given to him by Song Meiling a few days ago. He wrote something absent-mindedly on the paper, but suddenly stopped, covered his pen cap, looked at Du Haisheng, and reminded him.

"Yes, it's really much more serious than we thought!"

Du Haisheng also looked helpless at this time. Even with a smile, he seemed so helpless and bitter. The current situation also gave him an idea that he could not help and help.

Some time ago, he once counted that the number of refugees in Shanghai was only 10,000, but in just a few days, it has increased dozens of times, reaching a terrible 150,000 people. Moreover, looking at the current situation, in the future, more refugees will flood into this prosperous metropolis. After getting it, even if you and the bosses of Song Ziwen and other grain firms treat it as a good deed, they don't want a penny and provide those refugees with food and drink for free, but the question is how long can such a situation last, a month, two months, three months...

Others don't know, but Du Haisheng knows that this natural disaster is not only a summer harvest, but also an inevitable autumn crop. Not only will it be affected by the weather, but the locusts that sweep the whole Republic of China from south to north will also force the people to death. What does it mean that the house leaks and it rains all night? In the 17 years of the Republic of China, this is obviously the situation!

Even if we can survive the summer, the natural disasters suffered by autumn crops are no less weaker than the summer harvest, or even worse. We can't let all the people catch locusts.

"How are the people settling down now?"

After thinking about it, Du Haisheng also looked helpless. He sighed, changed the topic, and then asked.

"The people's settling work is going well!"

It was Zhou Wenshan, the director of the police station, who replied. The group of guys in the civil affairs department have also been busy recently. They keep going between refugees outside the city and the Civil Affairs Bureau, and constantly reporting the latest situation to their superiors. The Shanghai government of the Republic of China is not only that, but also responsible for arranging the settling of the people. There is also food and accommodation. This series of projects is not only huge but also complicated.

If it had been before, these old men would not have worked so hard to work. They don't care about the famine, natural disasters, and the common people. As long as they have nothing to do, drink, eat meat, and play with women, the lives of the people have nothing to do with them. If it is chaotic and there is a police station, it is really not If there is an army and kill a few people to deter them, those fools will be honest immediately. It looks like it's none of your business.

And now, they dare not even think about it. Now there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them around them. With a little carelessness, the head is about to fall to the ground.

These eyes are the officers of the ICAC. Du Haisheng has long known that the famine was going to happen sooner or later, so he greeted Chiang Kai-shek in advance. Once the famine occurs, the ICAC will implement all-round supervision of civil affairs departments and government agencies in various places. During this period, there will be inaction and dereliction of duty. Officials who do not take the lives of ordinary people seriously will take severe measures to crack down.

Jiang Zhongzheng didn't think about it, so he agreed to his terms. He is the president of the Republic of China, and his territory is his own people. How can he bear to let his people suffer and turn a blind eye to it?

Obviously, these people in the civil affairs department are also aware of the means and temperament of this person who has achieved great success in business, and then got involved in the politics of the Republic of China. If he wants to kill people, even Jiang can't stop him. If he saves people, if he wants to kill, he has to think about it carefully. This new star is only two months. The achievements made between them made a few officials in the civil affairs department panicked.

For fear of making a mistake, the blade in his hand, which was called "King Du Yan" by officials of the government of the Republic of China, fell on his head.

The current ICAC has set up the Integrity Bureau in various places, and the behavior of the officials of the Integrity Bureau is jointly supervised by the superior leaders and the local supervision bureaus, courts and police stations. This also avoids the abuse of rights and the use of power for personal gain because the lower integrity bureau is too large. Dao, how many officials of the Supervision Bureau, the Court and the Police Department were killed by Du Haisheng? While these guys were in awe, they also wanted Du Haisheng to be killed by a car and killed by a hidden gun while walking. Unfortunately, their wishes are just wishes. To this day, Du Haisheng is still living well.

Since Du Haisheng and they can't move, the officials of the Integrity Bureau below give them a chance to take revenge. They can't wait for those guys in the Integrity Bureau to be gamblers, and it's better to be corrupt. In this way, they have caught each other. He can sue fiercely in front of Jiang. Du Haisheng is obviously anti-corruption and see what kind of goods his men are.

What makes them hate more is that even this small wish cannot be realized. They only know that officials of the Integrity Bureau in various places are appointed from local gangs and even businessmen, but they are not clear that the vast majority of these people are made by Du Haisheng's secret investigation, not only self- The good men of Jidu's enterprises, as well as Liu Tianyu, the managers and employees of Song Ziwen's local companies! Even Fu Zihao was even mobilized. On his recommendation, he became more than half of the total number of officials in the integrity bureaus in various places. These people, before taking office, without exception, were pulled by Du Haisheng for a collective meeting.

The content of the conference is very simple. Du Haisheng said very few words, but left a sentence, so that everyone did not dare to have any different intentions!

"I let you take this position, not to let you use your rights to eat and drink spicy food and enjoy life, but to let you supervise those corrupt officials. If you can't be clean and create welfare for the people, that's good. Now stand up for me, as long as I can't do it. Get out of here immediately, I won't force it, but -- if we don't stand up now, if we act recklessly in the local area in the future, they will be caught by those police stations, inspection bureaus, and courts, and sue me or him, Jiang, don't blame me for being ruthless, even my best brother. Brother, I will also wave the blade in my hand without hesitation and carry his head to meet the people. You can be ashamed, but don't lose face to me. You can't afford to lose my face..."

It was his words that none of the people present took the initiative to quit. They just secretly cheered themselves up in their hearts. They can't lose or lose. They must work hard to add glory to their respective masters!

They also understand that the people of the Integrity Bureau are not only one of their own sects or a family, but also composed of hundreds of sects, families and company employees, large and small. If they can't do it well, not talk about anything else, but they will also lose face and lose the face of their masters in front of their peers, just like themselves. As the director said, if he dares to do anything for personal gain, I'm afraid that he doesn't need others to do it. He will clean up the door first. Even if he is protected by his master, he probably won't have any effect. You know, the rights in his hands and prestige in the Republic of China that he punished before are better than his own. It's too powerful.

Therefore, since the integrity bureaus in various places began to operate, everyone has been conscientious and dare not to be negligent, let alone neglect!

Government agencies everywhere can clearly feel that there is a sword hovering on their heads and staring at themselves, and this sword is exactly the integrity situation!

And they don't dare to make any retaliatory action against these officials of the Integrity Bureau. You know, what kind of people are the Integrity Bureau? Fu Zihao, Liu Tianyu, Wang Yaqiao, Du Haisheng, Song Ziwen, which of these people is easy to provoke? It's not good to provoke. It's small to lose officials. I'm afraid that the whole family will be involved. At that time, even if you want to regret it again, it will be useless!

In particular, these civil affairs departments and other officials in Shanghai are even more frightened. Even if they are trembling and conscientious, they are afraid that they are not doing well enough and want to do better. After all, this is Du Haisheng's base camp, and this is also the only important administrative law enforcement department in the Republic of China that does not work in Nanjing. The location of the ICAC is only a few steps away from Du's enterprise, because it used to be the headquarters of the Brotherhood!

They know that not only Du Haisheng, but also Song Ziwen, Wang Yaqiao, Zhao Tianming, and even these people's men are all in Shanghai. In addition to the General Administration of Integrity, there is also the Shanghai Integrity Bureau. These people's eyes are staring at them all the time, not to mention daring to commit crimes, even if they do their own part. I'm also afraid that these swords hanging over my head will make me feel uncomfortable and give it to myself at any time!

Therefore, when the first batch of refugees just entered Shanghai, the Civil Affairs Bureau launched the fastest action in history, quickly launched a preparatory plan, settled the refugees outside the city, and specially sent people to cook for them to eat, and also mobilized a lot of clothes for them to wear. It can be said that the people at this time It feels a little like water, but the ship is quite cooperative.

Even if there are 150,000 refugees outside Shanghai now, there is no sign of chaos because the civil affairs department has teamed up with the Shanghai Municipal Government and other administrative departments to jointly carry out relief work!

Although the credit is ultimately made by the civil affairs department, I have to say that there is no department that can replace the important role played by the Integrity Bureau in dealing with the whole matter of the Great Famine...
