PFC Chapter 288 Settled in Yunnan Province
Chapter 288 Settled in Yunnan Province
"Director Liu, thank you for your help this time. This is one million US dollars. It is the support of the Yanhuang League Headquarters to your army. I hope you can fight against the Japanese pirates.
If needed in the future, the Yanhuang Alliance's trade routes and aircraft can provide support to your army.
Of course, I also hope that we can keep in touch and cooperate with each other in the future." Hou Xiaoge took out a small wooden box containing money and handed it to the studious person in charge of receiving the Yanhuang League in Yanzhou with a sincere face.
When returning to China this time, Hou Xiaoge specifically exchanged a batch of large-denomination US dollars from the United States Federal Bank, with the largest denomination being 10,000 and the smallest being 5,000.
So one million US dollars is just a few stacks of bills and can be put into a small wooden box.
"If it's to thank you for your help, I won't accept the money. If it's to fight against Japan, then our army has no choice but to accept it.
Our army will not take a single cent of this one million, and will use it all to subsidize the anti-Japanese troops on the front line. "Director Liu took the wooden box and said solemnly.
"Well! After this period of contact, I have a clear understanding of your army. Your army is indeed more like the government in the minds of ordinary people than the national government." Hou Xiaoge nodded and said with a smile.
Thanks to the help of mercenaries and self-rescue army planes, the remaining 5,000 people in Tianmen were all transported to Yunnan Province, more than a thousand kilometers away, in just two days.
Of course, all the villagers in Nanjiagou can also pass through.
Hou Xiaoge's original idea was to let the villagers of Nanjiagou stay stable in Lutuoling, Huayin until six years later.
But man proposes, God disposes. The Kuomintang government even took action against ordinary people, and they had no choice but to move away with Nanjiagou.
I moved three or four times in less than a year. No one else has done this except Nanjiagou.
Yunnan Province is mountainous, and its climate is completely different from that of the northwest, but it has distinct dry and wet seasons. This is completely different from Guangdong Province and other places, but it is somewhat similar to Qin Province with four distinct seasons, but it is not as cold.
At this time, Yunnan Province still firmly guarded the country's southwestern gate, and after paying countless blood over the years, it was successfully preserved.
Hou Xiaoge’s next goal is to ensure that the Yanhuang League and Tianmen Group can take root firmly in Yunnan and Guangxi.
This place is close to the border and the coastline, so no matter good or bad, at least I can move freely in the future.
However, the first thing to do is to establish good relations with the local leader, the Long family.
Otherwise, the more than 200,000 troops there are not pushovers. Hou Xiaoge is only here to fight against the Japanese and make money. There is no need to make the relationship too stiff.
The current national government is actually only a nominal entity, and a lot of power is scattered. For example, the person in charge of Yunnan Province is the Long family, and the person in charge of Guangxi Province is Li and Bai.
If connections are not enough, money can make up for it. Hou Xiaoge directly gave the other party 300,000 US dollars as a token of his respect.
Now is the time to defend western Yunnan. This money can be said to be timely rain. No one can resist money.
In this way, Tianmen Group took root in Kunming.
The first thing is naturally to build it. If you have money, you can just buy the factory directly, so that you can quickly put allicin and healing medicine into production.
As for the general method of penicillin, Hou Xiaoge knew it, but it still required a professional person. Hou Xiaoge immediately thought of Professor Fan.
This professor later became the father of penicillin in China. Some time ago, when Hou Xiaoge was in the United States, he asked someone to contact someone to see if he could return to China on an aircraft carrier.
However, Hou Xiaoge rejected it at that time because it was too dangerous.
Since there is a need, Hou Xiaoge plans to go to America again in a while to buy some equipment and then bring this talented person back.
The arrival of Tianmen Group in Yunnan Province was like the opening of its Ren and Du meridians. There are overseas Chinese and foreigners here, which is very beneficial to the company's development.
So from now on Hou Xiaoge doesn't have to stay in the company all day long, he just needs to come out occasionally to control the direction.
After settling the Tianmen Group, Hou Xiaoge naturally dealt with his own affairs.
Since last year, the people of Nanjiagou have been fleeing famine, and have experienced both good and bad times along the way with Hou Xiaoge.
After arriving in Kunming, Hou Xiaoge asked people from Tianmen Group to purchase a valley of 600 acres of land 20 miles outside Kunming.
In addition to reserving 100 acres of dry and sloping land for building the village and 100 acres for clan farming, the remaining 400 acres of land will be compensated to 200 people in Nanjiagou Village with 2 acres each.
As for why there are only 200 people left, it is naturally because some of them have joined the army.
Many young and strong people in Nanjiagou directly joined the Tianmen security, while another part was influenced by Yanzhou and stayed in Yanzhou, so they could not divide the land.
Two acres of irrigated land per person is not a small amount. Take Hou Xiaoge's family for example. Including him, there are four people in total, which means eight acres of land.
In this day and age, if there were no large animals to help, Hou Xiaoge's family would not be able to farm the eight acres of land.
However, Hou Xiaoge could not let his family suffer, so he spent three thousand dollars from the Tianmen Group's land package to buy twenty-eight oxen and provided them to the village for public use.
Hou Xiaoge openly took out three hundred dollars to buy two mules, which were shared by four of his family members. At the same time, his family members went back to their old business.
With these 400 acres of irrigated land, the villagers of Nanjiagou suddenly became stable.
In the Central Plains and Qin Province, only three crops can be grown in two years, but in Yunnan Province, corn can be planted and harvested three times a year.
Which farmer would not like such land?
Everything stabilized, and Hou Xiaoge's life also briefly returned to peace.
In fact, Hou Xiaoge has never been a person who likes to make trouble, otherwise he would have a golden finger and would be able to travel all over the world freely and do anything.
However, Hou Xiaoge was very tired from working for many years in his previous life and from fleeing famine for nearly a year in this life, which kept him mentally tense and made him unwilling to put in any more effort.
Hou Xiaoge decided to take a vacation, rest at home for a while, and spend time with his family.
In a blink of an eye, the Hou family had taken root in Kunming for more than a month.
Hou Xiaoge's business reopened this month, but the braised dishes are not selling well in the hot summer, and people here prefer noodles to pancakes.
In the end, Hou Xiaoge had no choice but to study and make braised pork rice noodles, which also enriched the variety of braised dishes.
At the end of July in the summer, it was already bright at six in the morning, and the family sat in their own mule and horse cart pulling goods towards Kun City, twenty miles away.
"Heiwa, Yunnan Province is great. It's not very hot in July and August, and there are so many fruits, many of which I have never seen before." Wang Maimiao sat comfortably on the tall mule cart, enjoying the breeze and eating mangoes.
“This place is close to the sea and has many mountains, so it’s naturally not as hot as our place.
But this is still a tropical place, there are indeed a lot of fruits, it is a good place." Hou Xiaoge sat in the other side of the carriage and used a whip to drive the mule forward.
"Brother! Are we going to live here from now on?" Heiwa, whose face had returned to being round again, said while eating a banana in big mouthfuls.
"Well! As long as you don't miss home, we will stay here from now on." Hou Xiaoge nodded with a smile.
"Why do you miss home? Do you miss our poor mountain village? There are no refugees here. Now we all live together in the village and our families are together. I don't want to go back!" Wang Maimiao smiled and shook her head.
"hehe!"
