Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 330 The Restored Yanhuang Alliance

"Oh! Twenty-seven stone of rice, at least two harvests a year, after deducting the cost, it's no problem to eat rice every day!

After these fields are cultivated for two years and become mature land, the yield can be three or four times more. Good days are coming for you, uncle!" Hou Xiaoge also sincerely wished the old man well.

"Haha! Good days have indeed come, but I am not a landlord, so how can I have the blessing of eating rice every day?

The Self-Rescue Army and the Yanhuang League have given us so much food and money.

The harvest is in this year. The grain and money donated to She from the Yanhuang League from last year to this year must be repaid as soon as possible. I have left two stone of fine grain from this crop for my daughter-in-law and eldest grandson to supplement their nutrition.

A few days ago, I repaid part of the grain debt to the Yanhuang League, and sold the remaining fine grains to the Yanhuang League's grain purchasing station in exchange for a few stone of cornmeal and sweet potatoes.

The second son in the family has gone to the army. We have more than 20 acres of land, and we are short of labor at home. In the second half of the year, I want to buy a big animal.

I have calculated that I will be able to pay off my debts next year, and then I will have hope for the future." The old man muttered, and the wrinkles on his face almost burst into laughter.

Hou Xiaoge looked at the elderly people smiling sincerely, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

The people’s demands are so simple, just to have enough food and warm clothes, and that’s the best life possible.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Hou Xiaoge continued driving forward.

The gravel road along the way was wide and flat. Hou Xiaoge even admired himself for how wise it was to recruit refugees to build roads last year.

We stopped and walked along the way and came across many villages. The people walking on the road all had smiles on their faces. Everything was moving towards a bright future.

Hou Xiaoge made up his mind to protect this beauty and not let it be broken.

As he went further in, the population grew and the village became more densely populated, until finally a four-meter-high wall blocked Hou Xiaoge's way.

"Xinhua Town!"

Hou Xiaoge had been to this town before. It used to be a small town where Chinese and natives lived together, but it was destroyed by the Japanese.

After the Expeditionary Force, British and American troops and the Chinese Self-Rescue Army drove out the Japanese last year, the Yanhuang League organized the Chinese to rebuild the town.

The city wall made of rammed earth slabs more than three meters high and covered with blue bricks is more than 500 meters long from east to west, making up the Xinhua Town with a population of 10,000.

Xinhua Town does have a moat, although it is only three meters wide.

There is no gate tax in the town, but there is a team of police standing guard at the gate.

Hou Xiaoge parked the car and walked into the town. The town was bustling with people. It was much more prosperous than when Hou Xiaoge came here years ago.

After walking around, Hou Xiaoge had a certain understanding of the town. There were relatively few industrial products and the prices were relatively high.

There is no way to do this. After all, the foundation of Xinjian cannot be compared with that in China.

However, the prices are much lower than in China. Take the price of grain for example! The price is twice as low as in China, especially for fine grains, which is more than three times lower.

There is no way around it. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters in the country, there are too many people, and transportation is inconvenient during the war, so the price of food is naturally high.

Here there are at least two crops a year, and in many cases three, so the price of grain is naturally low.

However, the Yanhuang Alliance and the Self-Rescue Army do not allow food to be shipped into the country, and this year's food supply is barely enough to meet the population of Myanmar.

Millions of people suddenly poured into Myanmar, leaving Hou Xiaoge with little space.

In order to feed these people last year and this year, Hou Xiaoge used a lot of connections and spent a lot of money.

This year's bumper grain harvest has finally solved the urgent problem. Only by completely absorbing these millions of people can we save grain for domestic supply until next year or even later.

However, while shopping, Hou Xiaoge also discovered two problems. The first was that the currency was not unified.

The common people here mainly use US dollars, British pounds, oceans, and legal tender. These currencies are not unified, which has a great impact.

The second is industrialization. This is originally an agricultural society, and now the industrial base is very weak, many times worse than that in China.

"It seems that we have to set up a bank and issue currency." Hou Xiaoge said to himself.

As for industry, Hou Xiaoge temporarily ignored it. The Yanhuang League, Hongmen, and Chinese in Southeast Asia can take the lead in small-scale industry, but it is not the right time for large-scale industry.

About ten kilometers outside the town is the county town. There are now twenty such county towns, mainly in the liberated areas. After all, the Japanese have not yet been driven out of Burma.

The one in the county town was also restored and rebuilt on the original site, and its height is about one meter higher than that in the town.

Hou Xiaoge did not go in. The town and the county town are actually similar, just larger in scale.

The further south you go, the smaller the population is, because there are more and more natives, and there are more and more wars and soldiers.

With more natives and soldiers, things naturally became more chaotic.

As for why there are more and more natives, Wenjun also mentioned it to Hou Xiaoge, that it was John Bull who migrated here from India.

After wandering around for three or four days, Hou Xiaoge got bored and went straight to the Yanhuang Alliance headquarters.

The headquarters of the Yanhuang League is now in Mandalay Province. Since the Japanese pirates occupied the coast, most of the Chinese fled here, so there are the largest number of Chinese here.

Needless to say, places with many Chinese people are also the most prosperous places. So after the Allied Forces captured this place, the Yanhuang Alliance immediately moved its headquarters here.

The headquarters in Mandalay is also very low-key, a small two-story Western-style building, but the area is a little larger, only 30 acres.

After Hou Xiaoge arrived, the entire Yanhuang Alliance became busy.

"Alliance leader!"

"Hello, Alliance Leader!"

……

The disciples of the Yanhuang League and the Chinese members of the Self-Rescue Army looked at Hou Xiaoge with admiration in their eyes.

That’s right, Hou Xiaoge started promoting personality cult after coming to this dynasty. Only in this way could the entire Yanhuang League be managed most effectively.

"stand up!"

After Hou Xiaoge walked into the 200-square-meter high-level conference room, all the senior executives stood up in unison.

"sit!"

Hou Xiaoge came to the main seat, smiled, pressed his hands, and asked everyone to sit down.

"Human Resources Department, how many Chinese are there in Myanmar now?

How many disciples do we have in the Yanhuang League now? How many are serving in the Self-Rescue Army?" Hou Xiaoge asked about the population first.

“Reporting to the leader, the area that has been liberated has a total population of 12 million, including the Chinese who originally lived in Myanmar and the locals with Chinese blood.

One-fifth of Myanmar is still occupied by the Japanese and has not yet been liberated by the Allied forces. It is estimated that there are still about one million people in those areas.

As for the disciples of the Yanhuang Alliance, their number is still increasing every day, and the specific number of outer disciples can only be accurate to the hundredth place.

Currently, there are a total of about 138,300 inner and outer disciples of the Yanhuang Alliance around the world, and 13,255 inner disciples who receive dividends.

As for the disciples who joined the Self-Rescue Army, there were 23,000 in the outer sect and 5,550 in the inner sect.

Of course, these people do not count as the young disciples of Yuying Hall." The new Personnel Hall Director Li Nianguo reported with a notebook.

"Good, very good!" Hou Xiaoge was the first to applaud.
