    Yu Liangzhen arrived in Jinhua in a light carriage. No one was notified, but one person was notified. This person was Yu Liangzhen's best friend, Xuan Tiewu.

    When the car arrived at the hotel that Yu Liangzhen had booked, Xuan Tiewu, dressed in military uniform, had already been waiting with his adjutant.

    Before Yu Bojun could stop the jeep, Yu Liangzhen jumped out of the car and hugged Xuan Tiewo.

    Yu Liangzhen and Xuan Tiewu were true life-and-death friends. They were classmates when they attended Whampoa Military Academy. Later, when they served in the 88th Division, Yu Liangzhen was the division commander and Xuan Tiewu was his chief of staff. Later, Yu Liangzhen  He served as the security director of Zhejiang, and Xuan Tiewu was his deputy director.

    After Yu Liangzhen left, Xuan Tiewu took over as the director of security until today.

    "Come, Tiewu, let me introduce you." After the hug, Yu Liangzhen pulled Xuan Tiewu to Zhong Yi, pointed at Zhong Yi and said, "This is our colleague, Chief of Staff Zhong Yi."

    Zhong Yi stood at attention and saluted: "See you, deputy commander-in-chief."

    In addition to being the security director of Zhejiang Province, Xuan Tiewu is also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps. Zhong Yi is the deputy chief of staff of the Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps. Of course, he must be called deputy commander-in-chief.

    "You're welcome, Chief of Staff Zhong." Xuan Tiewu returned the greeting.

    Yu Liangzhen then said: "Tie Wu, I have been away from Zhejiang for many years, and Zi Ren is a new arrival here. He is completely unfamiliar with Zhejiang officialdom, so you need more help."

    "This is natural." Xuan Tiewu said, "But this is not the place to talk. I have asked the adjutant to book a banquet in the restaurant. How about we talk while eating?"

    "This is so kind." Yu Liangzhen said, "I've been hungry for a long time."

    Zhong Yi also raised his hands slightly and said: "Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief please!"

    When Yu Liangzhen and Xuan Tiewu entered the door, Zhong Yi followed half a step behind.

    The three of them came to the restaurant and sat down, and the waiter began to serve the dishes. A large table was filled with delicacies and game, as well as two five-pound jars of Shaoxing Zhuangyuan red and yellow wine.

    Looking at the table of food and wine, Zhong Yi shook his head secretly.

    Yu Liangzhen and Xuan Tiewu are accustomed to this.

    However, at such a moment, Zhong Yi would not dampen the interest of Yu Liangzhen and Xuan Tiewu, otherwise, his emotional intelligence would be too low!  If he wants to be honest, he can wait until he reaches Yinjiang and then set an example.

    At that moment, Zhong Yi stood up and poured a full glass for Yu Liangzhen. Yu Liangzhen drank it all in one gulp and sighed: "This is the taste. I can't remember how long it has been since I drank authentic Zhuangyuanhong!"

    Xuan Tiewo then said with a smile: "It will be good if I come back this time. I can drink it every day if I want."

    ¡°Then I¡¯m no longer a loser?¡± Yu Liangzhen laughed and continued, ¡°By the way, now can you introduce us to the current situation in Zhejiang Province?¡±

    Xuan Tiewu sighed and said, "If I could sum it up in one word, it would be, poor!"

    ??After a pause, he continued: "If I put it in one sentence, it is that I am so poor that I can't even open the pot! Many government employees can only work part-time jobs to support their families."

    Yu Liangzhen frowned and said: "Is the financial situation of the Zhejiang Provincial Government really so bad? Even government employees can't afford to eat? I clearly remember that their salaries were raised just a few months ago."

    "The salary has increased." Xuan Tiewu said, "Brother Ke Liangzhen, do you know how many times the price has increased?"

    "How many times can it increase?" Yu Liangzhen said, "When I was in Chongqing, I didn't think the price increase was too outrageous."

    "That's Chongqing, but there is only one capital in the whole of China." Xuan Tiewu sighed, "The prices in Zhejiang have skyrocketed. At the end of last year, one kilogram of rice could be bought with one dime of legal currency, but now, ten yuan of legal currency can buy a pound of rice."  We can¡¯t even buy half a pound of rice! Our salary has been increased, but what¡¯s the use?¡±

    Ten yuan of legal currency only costs half a catty of rice. No wonder officials can¡¯t afford to eat.

    Yu Liangzhen immediately fell silent, and the meat and wine suddenly lost their taste.

    Zhong Yi also remained silent, because this problem is basically unsolvable.

    The Nationalist government was already poor. Years of warlord wars had long exhausted the country's financial resources. It even borrowed money to advance customs taxes for the next few decades. But Japan came knocking on the door again at this time. There was no other way, so the government could only  They can print legal currency like crazy to plunder civilian supplies.

    ¡°If we don¡¯t do this, the government won¡¯t be able to survive for even half a month.

    After a long while, Yu Liangzhen said: "If this is really the case, it will definitely be impossible for the provincial government to come up with money to support the training of the Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Group, right?"

      "That's natural." Xuan Tiewu nodded and said, "Huang Shaohong won't give you even half a moment."

    After a pause, he continued: "Brother Liangzhen, Huang Shaohong really didn't target you specifically. In fact, not to mention our anti-enemy self-defense group, even Liu Jianxu's Tenth Army could not get half a big chunk of funding.  .¡±

    Yu Liangzhen was dumbfounded and said: "Don't you provide funds to the regular army? Then how can they survive?"

    "Can a living person be choked to death by urine?" Xuan Tiewo shook his head and said, "They have many ways."

    "Set up a card on the commercial road to collect fees?" Yu Liangzhen didn't know anything, he just said it clearly, "Smuggling?"

    "There are even more outrageous ones." Xuan Tiewu curled his lips and said, "Some of them are ugly and even smuggle cigarettes!"

    "What? Smuggling cigarettes?" Yu Liangzhen said in a voiceless voice, "How can such an army still resist Japan? Can it still have combat effectiveness?"

    "Yes, it's a good thing that the focus of Japan's operations is in Hunan and Jiangxi, not our Zhejiang!" Xuan Tiewu said, "If the Japanese attack our Zhejiang, we won't be able to survive for half a month!"

    Zhong Yi just listened quietly without any intention of interrupting.

    But that doesn¡¯t mean he doesn¡¯t know what Xuan Tiewu said.

    In fact, Zhong Yi knows more than Xuan Tiewu and is more comprehensive.

    During the period of the Beiyang warlords¡¯ melee, the army¡¯s smuggling and even opium cultivation were open to the public. For example, Zhang Zongchang relied on cultivating opium in Heilongjiang to save money before he could make a comeback.

    After the Nanjing government was established and the national finances were unified, military smuggling was banned.

    But it was only a ban, not an end, as local warlords were still secretly growing and selling opium.

    After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the national finances collapsed, and they could only adopt a conniving attitude towards military smuggling. The original intention was to hope that the garrison troops in each province would raise their own funds to support the officers and soldiers.

    However, the reality is that condoning military smuggling only enriches a handful of senior generals, but the price paid is the breakdown of military discipline and a sharp reduction in combat effectiveness!  This is also the main reason why after the Anti-Japanese War entered the stalemate stage, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party became more and more courageous as they fought, while the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang Army became weaker and weaker!

    That¡¯s why during the battle between Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, more than one million national troops were defeated at the first touch!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
