Not to mention that the old man from Ling Pizhou did not trust Liu Lang who spoke generously at this moment, the gentry and politicians in Ling Pizhou also looked at each other and looked down at their feet.

Ordinary people are easily encouraged by Liu Lang's passionate and passionate, but for those who can be regarded as middle-level elites in the mainstream society of the kingdom, it is not so easy to blindly follow.

The soldiers on the front line were very brave, they knew that the four generals died heroically, but it was the same thing to be moved. If they just talked so empty-mouthed and wanted to get money out of their pockets, it would be a big deal.

Not to mention the soldiers present, those who are qualified to stand within 30 meters from the mourning hall are basically famous merchants and politicians in Chengguan City. Those who have no money or power are not qualified to enter the mainstream of society. This is basically a concrete manifestation of all social forms.

Especially these local businessmen, their heads are so brilliant!

How many people did the Lingpizhou Kingdom army participate in? Not to mention the east of Lingpizhou, there must be 200,000 people in Canghuai Valley alone! It is normal to have 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, and 70,000 or 80,000 are possible. If a war-death and disabled soldiers are established here, when the war-death and disabled soldiers come to you for assistance, one person will have to get at least a few dozen silver coins! Moreover, there may be more than once. Without the financial resources of three million silver coins, this so-called foundation will be ruined in the future, and maybe someone will even be pointed at the nose and scolded.

Don’t look at Liu Lang’s mouth that only 200,000 silver coins are available. Not to mention whether he can take it out, even if he can take it out, it is only one fifteenth of the basic 3 million. Who should I ask for the remaining 2.8 million silver coins?

Everyone here is taking it? Or are the leaders here taking it, or are the first person in Ling Pizhou, the commander of the 2nd War Zone who is already a little stiff and staring at Liu Lang's wallet?

Anyway, after Liu Lang said this, almost no one spoke.

A group of soldiers wanted to respond, but looked at their purses and swallowed them back to their mouths. They were also people who wanted to support their families!

Zhao Danyu could only come forward to help smooth things out, "Haha, okay, Commander Liu has such concern for my frontline soldiers, and is a model for the officers of the Kingdom Army. For this matter, I, Wang, will report to the Kingdom, let the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Lingpizhou Prefecture Government come up with a specific charter, so that the soldiers will never let them shed blood or cry."

"Yes! My second war zone, Ling Pizhou Prefecture Government, will definitely cooperate with the kingdom to provide subsidy regulations that satisfy the entire army of Canghuai Valley." The old man in Ling Pizhou also had a headache.

Of course, the major general who represents the king of the country and the highest commander of the 2nd War Zone of Lingpizhou both said this very nicely. However, the better the words are, the more cliché it is.

Obviously, these two people, like those of those officials and businessmen, are not optimistic about this, that is, if you miss today, then forget it.

Captain Liu, who was quite self-talking, had no embarrassment on his face. His eyes slid past many politicians in Lingpizhou who were looking down at their toes, and a hint of cold sunlight appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Otherwise, "righteousness is mostly dog-slaughtering people, and unfaithful people are scholars"! Hundreds of miles away, every second, soldiers and officers who defend Ling Pizhou fell down, because of guns or cannons. Their blood has soaked every inch of the country into.

Now, perhaps because of his appearance, there are much less in the east of Ling Pizhou, but the Black Eagle Army will definitely increase its attack on Canghuai Valley after losing in Ling Pizhou. Perhaps, the casualties on the northern battlefield of Ling Pizhou, which is in full swing at this moment, are even more serious than in time and space.

Although it does not have the meat grinder model like that on the Haicheng battlefield, every inch of mountain and river is definitely considered a matter of blood.

But even so, these scholars and elites who can be called the upper class of society are not thinking about how to solve their problems for the frontline to defend their property and the soldiers who are glorious and wealthy, but also consider their own interests.

Is it a lot of 2 million silver coins? Commander Liu had an impulse to spit on them. Ling Pizhou looked at the poor mountains and rivers, and there were not even trees on many mountains, but Ling Pizhou was really endless. Especially with the policy support of the old men in Ling Pizhou who were quite economically conscious, these local merchants have been hiding silver winter melons in their cellars in the past twenty years.

Although they were frowning like a dead father when they were asked to take a few thousand silver coins, they were like robbing a bank when they really wanted to dig it. Unfortunately, these wealthy miser didn't know that most of their wealth was cheaper than the Black Hawk Empire.

"Everyone, you probably think I'm firing off again, right?" Liu Lang smiled coldly. "Yes, I have all paid the gold gifts I gave to the three generals yesterday with the highest honor medal. I guess everyone in Chengguan City knows that Liu Lang from my Liu family in Tongzhou is so poor that he doesn't have a big son."

After hearing what Liu Lang said, the wealthy businessmen and politicians in Ling Pizhou remembered that this person had another identity. He was not only a small leader, but also a large landlord of Qiu Tongzhou. I heard that his father also dug an iron ore and had a machinery factory to build guns and cannons for the poor men of Qiu Tongjun! The owner of the mine at home.

But what did he want to do when he said this? A group of politicians felt a little uncomfortable. This person can't sell his house and land to raise money!

They guessed very accurately.

"Is General Manager Han of the Merchant Group here?" Liu Lang suddenly shouted into the crowd.

"Here! Here!" Han Tianhao, who had been huddling in the innermost part of the crowd, now popped up and squeezed out of the crowd.

"My Liu family owns 1,000 mu of fertile land, 800 paddy fields and 200 dry fields in Minjin City, Tongzhou, Qiu. According to the average market price at this time, 100 silver coins per mu of land, is it expensive to have a total price of 100,000 silver coins?"

"It's not expensive, it's very cheap." Han Tianhao shook his head. "If it takes a while, the price will be higher."

Although Han Tianhao didn't say it very clearly, the merchants here all understood that as the war progressed, the fields in several provinces affected by the war were naturally worthless, but the fields in the southwest provinces like Qiu Tongzhou, which were firmly protected by Ningling, would definitely soar.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "My Liu family also has a small iron ore that produces thousands of tons of iron ore per month, and can train thousands of kilograms of refined iron. It is worth 100,000 yuan. Is it expensive?" Liu Lang continued to ask.

"Not expensive!"

Of course it is not expensive. Now Han Tianhao is not the only one shaking his head, but almost all the businessmen are shaking their heads.

Iron ore that can produce several tons of ripe iron in a year, and although the output of dozens or even hundreds of tons a year is very small, it is a money tree. Not to mention turning iron into steel can make considerable profits, even roughly processed products, the price of one ton of iron can reach 10,000 yuan, and you can recover the investment of 100,000 yuan in less than two years.

Especially in this era of chaos, steel has no worries about sales.

"I have packed 200,000 yuan in fertile land and iron ore from my Liu family. Will you collect it?"

"This..." Han Tianhao looked embarrassed.

The frown was frowning. If Brigade Commander Wang hadn't known that this guy was summoned by Liu Lang, he ran from Chengguan City to Lingpizhou East Front, and he was almost deceived by this guy's acting skills.

It's bad, it's bad! The only old man in Ling Pizhou who knew that Liu Lang had a close relationship with the businessman group was very alert.

Fatty Han didn't know Liu Lang, but he still had to act like this, so he was acting. What was the purpose of acting?

Of course, it is just a fool.

But even if he knows, what else can he do? He jumped out and said that you two joined forces to act? The hero leader is selling fields and mines now, okay?

The old man in Ling Pizhou, who was unable to expose Liu Lang's miserable show, began to worry about his purse, and it seemed that he would be much weaker again.

"If you don't collect it, I'll find another family."

"Cache, why don't you?" Han Tianhao said in a hurry.

"Okay! I will immediately establish the word for you. By the way, please send a message to my hometown. On the occasion of the country's destruction, if my Liu family can help thousands of soldiers on the front line, my ancestors and ancestors in the sky will definitely not blame the unfilial descendants." Liu Lang nodded.

"There is no hurry to write a document, even if my business group has 200,000 yuan in cash, it will take time to raise the price." Han Tianhao shook his head.

Then, the fat man with his head and body round faced the audience and shouted: "As the front line army, Commander Liu can still sell land to rescue soldiers. I, Han Tianhao, retreated from Qingning County to Xianghai Valley and retreated to Lingpizhou. I no longer want to retreat again, and I also want to attach myself to Ji Panlin. As the general manager of the merchant group Lingpizhou and Fuhongzhou, I announced here that Commander Liu personally invested 200,000 yuan, and my merchant group raised 1 million yuan with the group's strength, totaling 1.2 million yuan to establish the Lingpizhou officers and soldiers rescue fund. Whether now or in the future, all soldiers and families who hold the Lingpizhou military military certificate or the Lingpizhou military sacrifice certificate and the death and disability certificate of the army participating in the Lingpizhou military, and the meritorious medal award medal can go to the branches of our merchant group in various cities across the country to receive living allowances."

This voice shocked the people around him. One million! He is so bold.

The lieutenant who had been kneeling by the coffin stood up, took out two pieces of cash from his waist, and strode to Han Tianhao who was shouting loudly. He first saluted awe, "I thank you and Commander Liu for the brothers of the 196th Brigade and the brothers of the Wangguo Army who were still fighting hard on the front line. This is Huang's last two dollars. Don't worry about it, I hope it can help the brothers who died in battle."

"My old woman has nothing else. This is the January military pay left by my son when he left. Liu Chang..." The old woman who took out a stack of silver coins from the small cloth bag on her waist was obviously not familiar with Liu Lang, the adopted son who took the initiative to deliver it to her. She pinched the banknotes with her body temperature and said, "Liu Lang, you should donate it to the old woman and Chunyang'er, too!"

"Mom! My mother calls me Langwai in the house, and you call me like this in the future! I will donate the money for you." Tears in Liu Lang's eyes suddenly burst out.

This is not Liu Lang's acting, he acted for the so-called elites, but in this old woman who had just lost her son, he once again saw the tenacity and simplicity of the real kingdom. It was left by five thousand years of civilization and tradition.

"I donated 500 yuan, but my manuscript fee will only be obtained in Wubin City. Is it OK?" Liu Xueyuan, whose eyes were red, also stepped forward and said.

"No problem, I, Han Tianhao, have my personal payment for reporter Liu's 500 donation first."

Just like the last straw that broke the camel's back, can the people still bear it when they see this scene?

"Boss, I have no money, but I have to donate 50 cents."

"I'll donate one!"

1310 Flying away from Lingpizhou

Although there was no donation box, almost all the people took out the money they carried with them, including cash and copper coins, and passed over the heads of soldiers who maintained order and threw them into the field like snowflakes.

The more money is lost, the less beautiful the local rich men look.

Now, the merchant group is more prosperous than Captain Liu who sells mines directly at home. He only costs one million yuan. At this time, if you don’t want to pull your hair, you will be a traitor and a lackey.

At this time, these smart businessmen didn't know that Fatty Han and Fatty Liu were in the same group? If they were not the same group, how could they cooperate so well with each other? Even the amount was so real.

Leave a share of one million and eight million for these people.

"I donate 100,000!" The old man in Ling Pizhou pinched his nose and gave in. If he didn't donate, he might be the reputation of the commander of the Second War Zone. Is it good to help him with the soldiers in the Second War Zone?

"I donate 20,000." Zhao Danyu smiled bitterly and reported the number based on his financial resources. How could he have thought that he would travel to Chengguan City for the king, and he would confiscate the gifts and make money first.

When the local rich men in Ling Pizhou saw it, let’s admit defeat! The bosses donated, the people donated too, let’s come too!

I donate five thousand, you ten thousand, and he donates twenty thousand.

Of course, Han Tianhao, who made a big fortune, collected the money on behalf of the merchant group. No one would suspect that he and the merchant group dared to greed for this money. They might even pay more than the promised one million.

Since he lets go, if someone comes to the door with the certificate, his businessman group will have to pay. Otherwise, let alone a group of senior officials will not be able to spare them. If it is spread, the businessman group will have to close down no matter how strong it is.

In this era of ancient customs, sometimes promises are more effective than words in black and white.

Just like Liu Lang’s promise to the little girl before, no one takes it as a joke with the child. A man or a real man either doesn’t say anything, spits and a nail, and then he has to do it.

This is the moral bottom line for everyone in the kingdom of 5,000 years of civilization. Even if many people abandon it in the future, they will pick it up again in the future. When they understand that money is not omnipotent.

Commander Liu, who was prepared for a long time, was not a joke with them. He had already called out that he had once held white paper and asked the local rich men who had pledged their names and amounts to write their own names, even the old man in Ling Pizhou was no exception. In these black and white words and their own signatures, whoever dared to refuse to admit his account, Liu Lang would dare to hang his name on the edge of the gate of Guancheng City to ensure that he smelled ten miles in the wind.

It is better to leave it to the Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire's soldiers. Liu Lang was also trying to scrape off these local rich men before the defeat of the Battle of Chengguan City.

He wasn't afraid of being held grudge by these guys.

In a short while, he will fly away from Chengguan City.

The grand ceremony of the mourning hall ended with the sound of donating money.

Although surrounded by the "smell of money", everyone was moved by this respect for the brave sacrifice of the soldiers on the front line. It was useless to just cry and shout slogans, so they had to use real money to solve their worries for the soldiers. Liu Lang turned the touch into reality.

Not only did the money donated by ordinary people who could not be counted in a short period of time, but the donated by the big guys alone had exceeded 3 million. Han Tianhao, who held the books pledged by the big guys, even signed a legal agreement with the king of the Lingpizhou Prefecture Government, who was present.

The "Ling Pizhou Battle Death and Disabled Soldiers Rescue Fund" led by the Merchant Group benefits all the officers and soldiers in Ling Pizhou this time, whether they are the Central Army, the Wang Guojun, the 18th Army, whether they are generals or the second-class privates. If they are in trouble, they only need to take the military number certificate or the war death and disability certificate issued by the Second War Zone to go to the merchant group branches of major cities in the province where their families are located to receive subsidies.

There is even no proof. As long as there are ten people in the hometown and local security chiefs who have children participating in the war on the Ling Pizhou front and their families are in trouble, the relief fund will also issue subsidies and follow up their families for a long time.

Just now, Han Tianhao's speech was probably not enough as the general manager of the branches of Fuhongzhou and Fuhongzhou, Fuhongzhou, but General Manager Fan Zhijian and Fan of the Merchant Group called after just now. The message read in black and white. The decision of the general manager of the Merchant Group Quanliling Pizhou Branch and added one million silver coins to the rescue fund.

I'm afraid no one knows that the "Ling Pizhou Battle Death and Disabled Soldiers Rescue Fund" that Liu Lang first proposed to establish on the official side. Half a year later, the total funds expanded to 15 million silver coins because Hua Shi injected 5 million donated by the White Eagle Kingdom people on behalf of the people of the White Eagle Kingdom.

This is not the end. Xiao Yangniu represents a multinational company that has received some military supplies for the Kingdom. It is the most shocking thing. It announced that its financial situation is as high as 40 million silver coins. The headquarters has been retracted into the rescue fund of Shancheng. The name has been changed to the "Kingdom Soldiers Fighting Death and Disabled Soldiers", which is not just the Ling Pizhou front line, but all the soldiers on the front line in the country.

During the entire Patriotic War, the Merchant Group did not announce a clear number of relief subsidies issued by this rescue fund to soldiers and their families. Because most of the sources were from foreign kingdoms, the official did not take a penny. Even the Merchant Group refused donations from domestic consortiums thereafter, and no one had the right to check its financial expenditures.

However, statisticians and financial experts came to a rough conclusion based on the investigation and accounting of some soldiers and their families, which was an incredible astronomical figure.

If it were the business of the Merchant Group in China, it would not be able to support it anyway. People who do not understand the inside story can only attribute this mysterious source of funds to the efforts of millions of kingdoms overseas.
