The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 597

Gao Jiu happened to have something to go back to Chongqing, so he called Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan, Malanian and others, explained to them, and asked Wang Zhankui to be in charge of the affairs of the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle while he was away. .

Ouyang Xue wants to go back to Chongqing with Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu also thinks that the medical conditions in Chongqing are better, so they board the plane together.

In the cabin, Gao Jiu said: "I will hold a wedding with you when I go back."

Ouyang Xue understood Gao Jiu's reason. If she was not married, it would be unacceptable in this era to conceive without marriage, especially with her family background, she would become the laughing stock of the upper class.

Hearing Gao Jiu's words, Ouyang Xue was so moved that tears flowed down her face. She hugged Gao Jiu's arm and pressed her cheek on his shoulder.After a long time, he raised his head, shook his head and said, "There is no need for marriage, just keep this status quo."

Ouyang Xue has longed to marry Gao Jiu for a long time, but she knows that Gao Jiu's career is at a critical stage now, and he needs support from Xiao Yatong, Lin Yanni, Li Shasha and Jiang Xiaomei, she doesn't want to add trouble to Gao Jiu because of a wedding.

Gao Jiu was very moved when he saw that Ouyang Xue was so considerate.He said: "Ruoxue, I understand what you mean, but now that you are pregnant and don't have an official status, what will others think of you?"

Ouyang Xue touched her lower abdomen and said proudly: "If someone wants to ask about the child's origin, I will tell them that the child's father is a hero who stands up to the heavens and the earth. Others can only envy him, not What gossip."

What Ouyang Xue said made sense.In fact, everyone in Chongqing's high society knew that Ouyang Xue had a close relationship with Gao Jiu.Even if Ouyang Xue was pregnant before marriage, everyone could guess the origin of the child.Ouyang Xue really had nothing to be ashamed of.

Gao Jiu was very moved, he held Ouyang Xue's hand and said, "Ruoxue, don't worry, I will find a way to solve this matter."

After arriving in Chongqing, Madam sent her secretary to the airport to greet her, and Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue went directly to the official residence of the big man.

After seeing Gao Jiu, Madam said angrily, "Gao Jiu, you are an irresponsible person. Now that Ruoxue is pregnant, why don't you hurry up and marry her? Aren't you afraid of affecting her reputation?"

Ouyang Xue said: "Cousin, Gao Jiu is not to blame for this matter, he has his own difficulties."

The madam stared and said: "Cousin, you are so stupid, Gao Jiu is obviously irresponsible, and you still defend him."

Ouyang Xue said again: "Cousin, we will handle the matters between us."

Madam said dissatisfiedly: "Can you handle it? You silly girl. If you can handle it, how did you get to where you are today? How can I explain to my uncle and aunt? No! This matter must be given by Gao Jiu. statement."

Gao Jiu said: "Thank you Madam for your concern, I was just about to discuss this matter with you. Do you think this is okay? Ruoxue and I are getting married soon, and I want you to be a witness. But don't make this matter public , as long as we know privately."

Madam said dissatisfiedly: "What do you call that? Ruoxue is from a famous family, she is my cousin. What's so shameful about your marriage with her? Do you still want to be so sneaky? You made me face the big man Where to put it? Ruoxue's parents and family members will not agree."

Gao Jiu was a little unhappy when he heard this, and he said: "Madam, since you don't want to, then we can take care of the matter between me and Ruoxue."

The madam became even more angry, she pointed at Gao Jiu and said, "Gao Jiu, you are too outrageous."

Ouyang Xue hurriedly persuaded: "Cousin, Gao Jiu and I really love each other, we don't need to hold any ceremony to prove it, that's fine. Please be a witness for us."

The madam also saw Ouyang Xue with the same attitude. She is a person with a very high emotional intelligence, so naturally she doesn't want to be troublesome.So, she changed her tone and said: "Since you have this attitude, then I will bless you. Do you think this is okay? If you don't want to hold a public wedding, then we won't go to the church. I will invite a priest here Come to preside over the wedding ceremony for you, and the great man and I will bear witness for you."

Both Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue were very satisfied, and expressed their thanks to Madam.

Gao Jiu asked: "Ma'am, you are so eager to call me back, what's the matter?"

The lady said: "You have worked hard on the long journey, especially Ruoxue who can't get tired. If you don't talk about business today, you can send Ruoxue back to rest. At 9:[-] tomorrow morning, you can come to the office of the Aviation Committee to find me."

After leaving the big man's mansion, Gao Jiu thoughtfully said: "Are you tired, I'll take you back to rest."

Ouyang Xue smiled and said, "No need. I want you to accompany me out to eat something."

At 9 o'clock the next morning, Gao Jiu came to the Aviation Committee, went upstairs and went to his wife's office.When passing by the secretariat, the wife's secretary came out and said, "Mr. Gao, please follow me."

Gao Jiu followed the secretary to the meeting room, and saw that besides his wife, there were many people sitting there.

Seeing Gao Jiu coming in, everyone smiled and greeted him.

Gao Jiu didn't know these people, so he looked at them blankly.His wife introduced him, and it turned out that these people were members of the Disaster Relief Committee specially set up for the drought in Henan.

The lady said: "Ladies and gentlemen! Regarding the drought in southern Henan, it was Mr. Gao who first reminded the government and made preparations for it in advance. Mr. Gao invested in the purchase of 3 million catties of grain and provided it to the Disaster Relief Committee free of charge. , used to relieve the victims. Let us express our gratitude to Mr. Gao for his noble act of saving the country and the people with warm applause."

"Papa papa." Everyone burst into warm applause, and at the same time, everyone secretly marveled, this guy is really rich.

Some people even thought to themselves: "It's a bandit after all, I don't know where he got the money from."

Some people know that Gao Jiu has many industries under his name. For example, Gao Jiu is the major shareholder of a pharmaceutical factory that produces anti-Japanese medicine. The price of anti-Japanese medicine is now comparable to gold. It is normal for Gao Jiu to be rich.

In any case, everyone recognized Gao Jiu's generosity.

Next, the Secretary-General of the Disaster Relief Committee and Deputy Minister Wang of the Ministry of Agriculture introduced the disaster relief measures they had taken to Gao Jiu.

Madam asked: "Mr. Gao, what do you think of these measures? Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Gao Jiu saw that there were basically no problems with these measures, and he said, "It's pretty good, I have no objections."

The lady said: "Mister Gao, although he is young, he has a wealth of life experience. He is smart, good at thinking, and has his own unique methodology for dealing with problems. Today I specially invited Mr. Gao here. What question? You can ask Mr. Gao."

A senior official from Henan Province said: "Mr. Gao, in addition to the 3 million catties of grain you provided, the government has also raised a large amount of grain. However, the disaster area is so large that tens of millions of people are involved. It’s just a drop in the bucket. According to the situation you provided, the drought will last until next spring, how can the food survive the drought?”

Gao Jiu asked, "How do you distribute the food?"

A senior official from Henan Province said: "At the beginning, we distributed food to the people in advance, but later found that this method was not feasible, because the victims did not know how to save food at all, they just wanted to finish eating the food as soon as possible, and then get the money from the government. Received by relevant departments.

Later, we had to change the method, organized a large number of manpower, set up porridge sheds in the disaster area, and distributed porridge according to the head.But despite this, there is still a big shortage of food. How do you think this problem can be solved? "

Gao Jiu said: "I have a few suggestions. The first is to strictly control grain prices. Resolutely crack down on grain merchants who dare to drive up grain prices. As long as grain prices can be controlled, the government will be able to buy more food.

Second, Southeast Asia is rich in products. Although it is in wartime, the price of grain is still low. I can help the Disaster Relief Committee purchase grain from Southeast Asia.

Third, due to the long drought, the supply of grain may still exceed the demand just by buying large quantities, and we must save grain as much as possible.

At this point, I also have two suggestions.Article [-]: The Disaster Relief Committee must establish a strict supervision system to prevent local officials and individual corrupt elements from embezzling food.

The second is to try to make the victims control the consumption of food. As long as the food that everyone can get can meet their basic needs of life, a large amount of food can be saved. "

Secretary-General Wang of the Disaster Relief Committee said: "Mr. Gao, these suggestions you put forward are very useful, and we will implement them as soon as possible. But the last item you mentioned is to control the food consumed by the victims. How should we do it?"

Gao Jiu said: "When distributing porridge to the disaster victims, local people must participate in the porridge distribution activities, so as to identify those who pretend to be disaster victims to consume food."

A senior official from Henan Province said: "This is a way. However, there are still problems with this. Many victims of the disaster are from other places, and they cannot be recognized at all. What's more, even if local people are used, they dare not offend Even people I know can’t prevent someone from pretending to be a disaster victim. How to solve this problem?”

Gao Jiu said, "It's very simple. After the porridge is ready, add sand to it."

"What? Adding sand to the porridge? This is too much." An elderly man immediately protested.

The members of the Disaster Relief Committee, including his wife, also looked at Gao Jiu with dissatisfaction, feeling that Gao Jiu's actions were somewhat unreasonable.

However, Gao Jiu was a guest invited by Madam, and she knew Gao Jiu very well, knowing that Gao Jiu would never say such a method for no reason, Madam said: "Mr. What is it for?"

Gao Jiu didn't answer Madam's words right away, he smiled and said: "Madam, gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to tell you a story first.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi.University scholar He Shen was ordered to serve as imperial envoy to disaster relief.What he did was to set up porridge sheds all over the place, but found that the food was consumed very quickly. He felt very strange, so he sent his cronies to the porridge distribution point below to observe.

They found that among those victims, they often met familiar faces.After tracking, it was found that some of these people were long-term workers of big families.In order to save food, the landlords let these long-term workers come to the porridge point to drink porridge.There are also people who are already well-off, and they also come to take advantage of it.

After careful investigation, he found that this phenomenon is very common, and it is difficult to prevent these people from taking advantage of the government.

Later, he thought of a way to mix the porridge with sand, so that those from wealthy families would not want to take advantage of it after eating their teeth.Those long-term workers also have opinions, and the landlords can no longer force them, so as to avoid the extra population receiving food.

And those disaster victims just want to fill their stomachs, they don't care whether there is sand in it, so that it is ensured that those disaster victims are really relieved. "

"So it's like this!" Everyone understood and stopped questioning Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu went on to say: "Actually, He Shen's method has some scientific basis. The victims were very afraid of hunger, and they ate very fast. Because the time was too short, the brain had no time to receive the message that they were full." Signal, in fact, the stomach is full, but still want to eat.

We all know that if you eat too fast, the food will not be fully chewed and absorbed, and the victims will feel even more hungry.The rice is mixed with sand, so when they eat, they will naturally eat at a much slower speed, so that they can fully absorb the food, relieve their hunger, and save a lot of food. "

Madam nodded and said, "Mr. Gao is right, what do you all think?"

Although everyone felt that this method was a bit unspeakable, it was indeed a very feasible method.Everyone nodded in agreement.

Gao Jiu said: "During the disaster relief, Heshen also implemented a method, which was to improve the treatment of the grassroots officials and related staff who implemented the disaster relief. Disaster relief activities are very hard work, and we cannot expect those grassroots officials to be able to Like everyone here, they are of high quality. If they don’t benefit at all, they won’t be motivated, and it will be difficult to carry out disaster relief work smoothly.”

Gao Jiu's suggestion won everyone's praise again.

Through this meeting, the members of the Disaster Relief Committee all left a deep impression on Gao Jiu.The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, it is no accident that Gao Jiu can be famous all over the world.

Madam announced that the Disaster Relief Committee should improve the disaster relief plan according to Gao Jiu's suggestion, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Gao Jiu followed Madam to her office, and he said, "Madam, I have another suggestion, do you agree?"
