Traveling through 1942 with space

"Auntie, I still can't do that. I have a childhood sweetheart who will graduate from high school next year." Hou Xiaoge said tactfully.

"Forehead!"

When the old lady heard that Hou Xiaoge actually had a childhood sweetheart who was an educated person, and that her own niece was a big-footed girl who couldn't read a single word, there was no comparison, she immediately kept silent.

But in my heart, I cursed Hou Xiaoge, saying, "If you have a partner, you should have told me earlier. You are wasting all my time talking about him."

……

Another year passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of September of this year, Hou Xiaoge came to the Jimin Hall headquarters in Kunming for inspection.

At present, the factories of Yanhuang League in China have basically been relocated, and those that could not be relocated have been sold privately at a low price to Baye's people to take over.

The only temple in the country with a large number of disciples is Jimin Hall.

Hou Xiaoge is a person who takes care of himself when he is poor, and helps the world when he is rich.

After his own family had no worries about food and clothing, in addition to helping tens of millions of compatriots overseas over the years, he never gave up helping his compatriots at home, even when they had unpleasantness with the government.

Today, there are millions of acres of arable land in the small world. In addition to supplying tens of thousands of people, there are still huge amounts of materials left, and this number is in the millions or tens of millions of tons.

With such a huge amount of grain, apart from a portion that was converted into commodities and sold to overseas countries in exchange for industrial infrastructure equipment to support the Yanhuang Alliance and the small world, most of the rest was donated to the country at a low price or free of charge.

Jimintang provides more than one million tons of grain to the country for free every year, and provides millions of tons at a low price. This is a huge fortune, and no ruler is willing to offend such a god of wealth.

"Alliance leader, the autumn grain has been stored in the warehouse, Hunan Province has been returned to the management of the Eighth Master, and the famine has been resolved. What should our Jimin Hall do next?" Feng Guoqing, the current leader of the Jimin Hall, reported.

In recent years, the main area of relief provided by Jimintang has been Hunan Province.

In fact, many people only know about the Great Famine in Central Plains and the three years of natural disasters, but they don’t know about the Great Famine in Hubei, Guangxi and Hunan.

As the saying goes, if Huguang is well-fed, the whole world will have enough food. It is hard to believe that there would be a great famine of fish and rice!

But this happened exactly, and it happened the year after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, which is very ironic.

(Many pictures of famine on the Internet nowadays are actually of the Great Famine in Hunan Province, not the Great Famine in Central China.)

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Hubei and Hunan provinces were the sites of four major battles and the main battlefields of China's war of resistance. They were devastated and suffered serious population loss.

Especially at the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the two provinces fought many battles, the people were displaced, and most of the land was left idle.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Hunan Province's grain output was only a little more than one-third of previous years because most of the land was left fallow and the weather was bad.

In addition, in order to provide relief food to hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war in Hunan and Hubei, the Kuomintang government levied grain on a large scale and made money at the same time, which caused a horrific famine.

This famine directly affected the three provinces of Hubei, Hunan and Guangxi, and more than 17 million people starved to death in just two years. This number is only half less than the number of people who died in the eight-year war of resistance against Japan.

If we compare numbers, it may be a bit dry, but if we compare provinces, it is equivalent to the death of two populations of Qin Province and one population of Jiangxi Province at once. Such a comparison will be horrifying.

It is hard to imagine that this happened after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Many people may get excited when this is mentioned, and think of the three years of natural disasters. Didn’t this also happen in peacetime?

Here I suggest you read and analyze history carefully, and don’t compare this with the natural disasters in the next three years, because they are not comparable.

At that time, the new country had just been established. He became famous for fighting against 17 gangs in one battle, which led to him being surrounded by wolves from abroad, and he was threatened with surgical operations at any time.

Soon after that, the relationship with the Polar Bear broke down, and it had to repay the loan, which offended the two superpowers at once.

In order to prevent surgical operations from the two supers, the country has devoted a lot of energy to the development of the third line. The 400,000-ton reservoir is still in use, and many industries and systems are now significantly affected.

In such a difficult environment, if one fails to handle it properly, the country will be destroyed. No country in the world can compare with your vision and courage.

Therefore, these two famines are completely different and cannot be compared.

After the famine in several places, Hou Xiaoge asked Jimin Tang to actively contact the government and provide large quantities of grain for relief.

Although there are too many corrupt officials in the government, some of the huge grain reserves will be distributed to the people, and that is enough.

Now, more than three years have passed. The Eighth Master has successfully driven away the three mountains, and most areas of Yunnan Province have been liberated. The grain routes have become unobstructed, and food has been delivered to the people. The people are finally better off.

“Now that Master Ba has successfully liberated most of the country and Jimintang’s mission has been completed, there is no need to keep so many people in the country.

Notice has been given that those who want to go to Myanmar can return to the company.

If you want to stay in your hometown, you can of course continue to stay. The company will pay you severance pay and contact Baye to work for Baye's Jimin organization.

In the future, only one Jimin Hall will be left in each province of the country as a branch hall, which will be used to contact and jointly help the people with the local Jimin units of the Eighth Master.

After all, we are at peace, and they have their own official relief units, so there is no need for us to interfere." Hou Xiaoge said as he flipped through the information.

"Ah? Evacuate."

"Alliance leader, after nearly a hundred years of war, the country is still very poor. It is very necessary for our Jimin Hall to stay!" Feng Guoqing was stunned for a moment, then said with his eyes wide open.

“I’m not asking you to withdraw immediately. The disciples left behind in each branch can help them establish an official relief system.

However, once the system here is established, our people will have to withdraw. After all, this Jimin project involves the government system, and we are outsiders so it is better for us not to interfere.

When you go back this time, try to learn from the West and improve Myanmar’s charity relief system.

In the future, when that side is improved, a portion of the surplus funds provided by the alliance can be used to jointly help the people in China.

We should not touch matters that directly contact the people, it is not appropriate." Hou Xiaoge did not want to make things difficult, so he said without question.

"I understand, Leader!" Feng Guoqing nodded thoughtfully.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Enter!"

"Alliance leader, Eighth Master's people are looking for you." After a while, Feng Guoqing came in personally and said with a happy face.

"Oh! What makes you so happy? Please invite someone in!" Hou Xiaoge saw Feng Guoqing's happy face, and combined with the current time, he had some guesses in his mind.

"Mr. Zhou, you are so hard to find! I have been so anxious to contact you recently that my lips are brimming with bubbles." The person in charge of the Eighth Master in Yunnan Province pretended to sigh.

"hehe!"

"Director Sun, we met today! Tell me! What's the matter? You look so happy." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile, handing over a cigarette.

"Alliance Leader Zhou, I heard that you have some good cigarettes. Please give me one! Something good is happening today." The person in charge of the Eighth Master joked.

"You're just trying to steal my good cigarettes, which cost a thousand dollars each!" Although Hou Xiaoge said this, he still took out two Xingshen cigarettes and handed one to the person in charge of Baye and Feng Guoqing.

When Mr. Qiongba heard that a cigarette cost one thousand dollars, he immediately put the cigarette he was about to put in his mouth, but with trembling hands he put it away and put it into his cigarette box.

"Hehe! This cigarette is too expensive, I'd better keep it and smoke it slowly! This time I came mainly to send invitations to you, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Feng Guoqing.

We will hold a founding ceremony in Sijiu City on October 1st. Both of you are very important guests, and I was asked to invite you to come." Director Sun said with a smile.

Hou Xiaoge saw Feng Guoqing touching the red envelope in his arms, and he understood.

"my pleasure!"

……

"The East is red, the sun is rising, a great savior has appeared in the East......!"

It was late autumn again, and on October 1st, Hou Xiaoge was invited to the city wall of Sijiu City to watch the ceremony.

On this day, red flags were flying everywhere in the city, songs were ringing, and a jubilant atmosphere filled the whole city.

"The people have stood up from now on!" As a respected senior shouted into the microphone, Hou Xiaoge, who was standing not far behind him, also applauded enthusiastically.

"Crash!"

A loud roar was heard in front of the Tiananmen Gate Tower.
