Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "Why do you say 'I know him too'? Do you know him?"

Gao Yu didn't take meeting this person named 'Wei Qingyuan' seriously at all, and smiled and said, "Of course I know him, what's wrong?"

Lin Yuan asked in surprise: "Do you know him? I asked Yu Baoshui and An Dezhong. They are locals and have never heard of this man. You actually know him!"

Gao Yu smiled and said, "Since you have asked Yu Baoshui and An Dezhong, then you must know Huang Ying, the chief escort of Antai Escort?"

Lin Yuan said, "They mentioned this person to me."

Gao Yu said, "Wei Qingyuan is Huang Ying's master!"

Lin Yuan asked: "Then how do you know him? How do you know this person? Also, my biggest question is: why do you know someone they don't know?"

Gao Yu said with a smile: "When my brother and I were in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, we used to deal with the Antai Escort. This Wei Qingyuan retired at that time, and left the affairs of the Escort to Huang Ying. Basically, he didn't care about anything. So people gradually forgot about him."

"As for how I met him, I have to start with Wei Qingyuan. Wei Qingyuan and his wife have never had children. Who made me such a cute little girl back then? He asked me to be his daughter. He also wants my brother to be his son, but my brother doesn’t agree with anything, Wei Qingyuan has no choice but to accept the two of us as apprentices.”

Lin Yuan asked: "Isn't it a good thing that Wei Qingyuan wants to take you in? Why doesn't your brother agree?"

Gao Yu chuckled, and said, "Does that matter? My brother is saving face, and I don't really want to be his daughter."

Lin Yuan asked: "Follow him and you are sure to have no worries about food and clothing, why don't you want to?"

Gao Yu said with a smile: "The reason is very simple. The two of us wandered around. Although we said that we ate our last meal and never finished our next meal, we were free and at ease. No one cared about us. Wei Qingyuan's family had quite a lot of rules. Can't take it."

Lin Yuan nodded, and Gao Yu continued: "The color of this greeting card is all yellow, it looks like it is definitely not new, where did you get this greeting card?"

Lin Yuan then told Gao Yu about the Banruo Temple, and Gao Yu said, "So that's the case, so are you going to the Antai Escort? They all hate you."

Lin Yuan almost thought he heard it wrong, and asked Gao Yu, "What did you say? They hate me to death? Why do they hate me?"

Gao Yu said with a smile: "The business of the bodyguard bureau was doing well, but you built the railway. Once the railway is repaired, the transportation of goods is more convenient, and there are fewer bandits. Can the business of the bodyguard bureau still be good? Do you think they are Should I hate you?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Even if they hate me, they won't be helping the Japanese, right?"

Gao Yu said with a smile: "Who said they would help the Japanese, but if you want to ask them to do something or understand the situation, they will definitely try to make excuses, do you understand?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "So that's the case. I will definitely go to Tianshui to find the Antai Escort Bureau to find out the situation. What should I do then?"

Gao Yu smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to help you. If I go, they will definitely do their best to help you, but..."

Lin Yuan saw Gao Yu's embarrassment suddenly, and thought that this matter would be difficult, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

Gao Yu suddenly smirked for a while, and said, "I'll go with you, Miss Wan Qing will definitely be upset..." After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan ran out, Lin Yuan thought helplessly, "I wanted to tease her for a while, but unexpectedly She made fun of it."

As soon as Gao Yu left, Yuan Shikai sent someone to look for Lin Yuan, and asked Lin Yuan to go there, saying that he had something important to discuss, so Lin Yuan hurried to Yuan Shikai's tent, Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Shuai Lin, you missed the appointment."

Lin Yuan asked: "Did I miss the appointment? What did I miss?"

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "You promised me to get information about Long Tengfei, but you didn't. Didn't you miss the appointment?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Didn't I also say that I will send your subordinate Ma Pingchuan to enter Gansu in ten days? Why did you forget?"

Yuan Shikai laughed loudly and said, "That's right, that's right, I mentioned the intelligence agreement just as a joke, Master Lin don't have to worry about it."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Yuan Shikai didn't call me here just for a joke, right?" While thinking, he heard Yuan Shikai say: "I called Lin Shuai here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Master Yuan, but it's all right."

Yuan Shikai said: "As far as we know, the four prefectures and eight prefectures in Gansu, except Ningxia, Qingyang and Pingliang, the other four prefectures and five prefectures have all suffered extremely severe locust plagues and droughts, and the people cannot afford to eat. How to deal with these hungry people is a big problem, I don’t know what Lin Shuai’s plan is?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The reason why the people rioted this time was because they were hungry. If they had food, they wouldn't riot. You and I don't need to come here, so treating the hungry people is like controlling the water. Blocking is not acceptable, it must be channeled, so we have to distribute food to the hungry.”

Yuan Shikai smiled, and then said to an officer next to him, "Quartermaster, can you tell us about Lin Shuai's idea?"

The quartermaster smiled and said, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, Lin Shuai. According to the number of households in Gansu reported to the Ministry of Households by the Chief Minister of Gansu last year, there are now four million people in Gansu's four prefectures and five prefectures. Calculated by one catty of flour per person per day, we have to give 400 million catties of flour to the hungry people a day! Such a large amount, needless to say, our army cannot bear it, and even the Ministry of Finance may not be able to turn it around!"

Lin Yuan said: "Things are not as terrible as what you said. After the chaos in the previous period, the population of Gansu must have dropped a lot, and there must be food in Gansu."

The quartermaster said: "Then we can't afford it, our people have to eat! And we didn't bring that much food at all."

Lin Yuan said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way."

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "It would be great if Mr. Lin can think of a way! We can rely on Commander Lin to buy food for the victims!"

Lin Yuan agreed, and contacted the Northeast after leaving the tent, asking the Northeast to transport grain to Gansu. Upon hearing Lin Yuan's request, the comrade in charge of grain said: "Captain, although there is grain in the Northeast, the quantity is not particularly large. Gansu There are so many victims, I wonder if it is possible?"

Lin Yuan said: "Immediately use our foreign exchange reserves to buy grain in the international market. Remember, the matter of buying grain must be kept secret. If you reveal a little information about it, the big consortiums that control the grain trade will immediately raise prices!"

After Lin Yuan arranged these things, he turned around and followed Yuan Shikai's Fengzi Camp to Tianshui. On the way, Madman Ning said to Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, I wonder how the situation in Tianshui is?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "We should be able to enter the city directly. We have wiped out Long Tengfei's main force. What else can stop us in a small Tianshui City?"

Soon Lin Yuan came to Tianshui City, where Long Tengfei's defenders left the city and surrendered, Lin Yuan and Ning Crazy entered the city smoothly, Lin Yuan wanted to go to the Antai Escort, so he went to find Gao Yu.
