Chapter 3183 A Cunning Plan with Some Substance

During the tea party, Tang Mingyue's suggestion enlightened Ran Qiuye.

There's no way around it; problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems at all.

Uh, that was said by her husband.

And judging from the experience of the past two years, the value of this statement is increasing.

According to the current primary school student subsidy program, each child receives a subsidy of about 1.6 yuan per year, so each family can earn one yuan from their child.

And what about the effort?

With 200 million students, the annual expenditure would be 320 million.

Is this number large?

Very big.

But considering the size of the nine departments, it's really not that big.

At first, Ran Qiuye thought it was an astronomical figure, but after Yang Xiaotao made a simple analogy, she realized it wasn't so big.

According to Yang Xiaotao's analogy, if the annual income is 300 million, then the monthly income would be 25 million.

Each month, ten million cans of food are supplied to the factories under the Ninth Division. At the cheapest price of canned food, it costs at least three yuan, which is thirty million.

And this is only part of the benefits.

In other words, if every worker in each of the nine departments saved just one bite of food each month, it could send more than 100 million children to school.

It's that simple.

Moreover, the benefits offered by the Ninth Division now go far beyond that.

It's fair to say that the Ninth Department could easily come up with this amount of money.

That's why Yang Xiaotao, on behalf of the Ninth Department, readily agreed to Ran Qiuye's suggestion of a school subsidy, and even raised it at the headquarters representative meeting, where it was unanimously approved.

These days, even if the subsidy for girls' schooling is increased a little, it's just a matter of eating a couple less meals.

She felt that her husband would support her.

Thinking this, Ran Qiuye grabbed Tang Mingyue's hand and said happily, "Sister Tang, you're absolutely right! As long as there's more money, the villagers will see that they can earn more money and will definitely be willing to send their daughters to school!"

"If that's the case, next year's children will definitely exceed 150 million. No, we need to prepare teaching materials and teachers in advance..."

Ran Qiuye spoke excitedly, while Tang Mingyue quickly said modestly, "What? This method was originally your idea; I just added some supplementary information."

Speaking of this, Tang Mingyue recalled a report she had recently seen from Qing Lao.

The above is Mr. Chen's estimate of the Ninth Division's revenue for this year.

In terms of foreign exchange, it has exceeded 300 billion US dollars.

It has also played a significant role in domestic economic development.

It can be said that the current domestic construction is driven by the Ninth Department, and the Ninth Department's development speed is too fast, so fast that the teams behind it can't keep up and are somewhat out of sync.

The consequence of this is that the wealth created by the nine ministries cannot be effectively and promptly transformed into a driving force for revolutionary construction.

I'll use it today.

But thinking about it, that man really knows how to make money.

Ran Qiuye and Tang Mingyue were both happy, but the eldest sister and Aunt Song had a wry smile on their faces.

They knew about the school subsidy, but they also knew that it had caused quite a stir.

Many people believe that this money should be used wisely, for national development, and for the key needs of the revolution.

At the very least, there are still many areas in China that need development, and many regions need factories to drive growth.

Of course, this is also related to the current attitude towards students.

If subsidies are to be increased again, it will probably stir up a hornet's nest!

However, to be fair, this is indeed an effective method for now!

The two exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison, agreeing to leave the matter to Ran Qiuye and the others.

If anyone dares to jump out and criticize, then don't blame them for being unreasonable.

After Ran Qiuye and Tang Mingyue finished speaking, Ran Qiuye smiled at her two older sisters.

Seeing the two getting along so well, the older sister breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she was an insider about Yang Xiaotao's situation.

Moreover, she also realized that Yang Xiaotao must have discovered the secret.

This is a bit difficult.

"Qiuye, I've heard that Ji Xiang, the director of the Ninth Department's People's Hospital, is a good comrade. Do you know her?"

Aunt Song spoke again, and when Ran Qiuye heard that the question was directed at Ji Xiang, she quickly replied, "Yes, I know her."

Then, looking at Tang Mingyue, he continued with a smile, "We often get together with Sister Ji Xiang, so we're quite familiar with each other."

Aunt Song smiled and said, "That's good."

"Next year, I plan to form a women's progress group to urge various departments to allocate more resources to women in medical care and education. You two, along with Mingyue, will join the group then, and we can work together to contribute to the cause of women."

"Qiuye, the eldest sister is also a deputy group leader."

Tang Mingyue added from the side, and Ran Qiuye immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'm willing to join."

Hearing Ran Qiuye say this, the eldest sister became happy, "In that case, our group is truly versatile! If anyone dares to disagree, hahaha!"

Before the eldest sister could finish speaking, Aunt Song raised her head proudly and said, "Then let's unite the women comrades and go to their house to eat our fill."

"Yes, it's about taking advantage of the wealthy."

The three of them laughed when they heard this.

However, the eldest sister glanced at Ran Qiuye and guessed that the biggest tycoon was probably the Ninth Division.

While the tea party was taking place in the West Garden, Mr. Chen was also chatting with Mr. Peng in his office.

"How about I go this time?"

As Mr. Peng sipped his tea, he said in a serious tone, "My presence will also intimidate those guys, and I believe they won't dare to act recklessly."

Old Chen shook his head after hearing this, "Forget it."

"Given the current situation in Persia, my visit could still be described as economic cooperation."

"If you go, who knows what those guys will think."

"Moreover, your visit would not be very friendly to our international environment."

"On the contrary, if you stay in the country, you can exert some deterrence, and we can relax a bit."

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mr. Peng remained silent.

After a moment, Old Chen said, "Actually, I think cooperation with Persia can be further developed, but it's separated by Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, and these two are also member states of the alliance, which makes things a bit difficult."

At this point, Old Chen looked at President Peng and asked, "Can you think of a solution?"

Peng picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Turkmenistan is actually the most difficult to deal with; Kazakhstan is easier to handle."

"In recent years, among the weapons and equipment we have exported, Kazakhstan has been the largest buyer, second only to Beian."

"They've always wanted to import our J-8 fighter jets, and we plan to deepen our cooperation with them next year." After Peng finished speaking, Old Chen nodded and smiled, "I think you've got a new fighter jet and are ready to get tired of the old one."

President Peng shook his head with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense. The new fighter jet hasn't come out yet. Besides, who knows what kind of thing the new fighter jet is?"

"You don't seem like the person you're talking about."

Mr. Peng laughed first.

Because in their consensus, anything designed and supervised by Yang Xiaotao was bound to be successful.

Foreign war examples are readily available and clearly documented.

This is also the source of Mr. Peng's confidence.

At this point, President Peng became serious again, "By the way, I heard that his girlfriend, Ran Qiuye, is also going?"

Old Chen nodded. "Yes, this family is full of troubles."

Haha

Mr. Peng laughed, “So you see, I’m the most suitable person to go.”

"Forget it, you'll only make things worse if you go."

The two joked with each other, but in the end, President Peng said seriously, "The southeast, east, northeast, northwest, and southwest will all be mobilized in the next few days."

"Aircraft, warships, tanks, all departments will use the exercise as a pretext to deter the surrounding areas."

"As long as you go quickly and come back quickly, and manage your time well, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Old Zeng has already made arrangements."

"If anyone dares to provoke us, we're not pushovers."

Listening to Mr. Peng's arrangements, Mr. Chen was filled with gratitude.

This is the bond between revolutionary comrades.

"Tell me, what is that kid doing?"

Suddenly, Mr. Peng asked curiously.

Old Chen picked up his teacup and looked out the window. "I guess he's busy with planes."

General Peng nodded. In his memory, Yang Xiaotao was a dedicated and good comrade.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotao in the Ninth Department was doing something that had absolutely nothing to do with 'dedication'.

"Old Yu, this is the one."

Yang Xiaotao gave Yu Zecheng a thumbs-up.

Inside the room, Liang Zuoxin and Chen Mingli nodded repeatedly, though their faces still showed a hint of shame.

They never expected that such a large mine was hidden in the peaceful Nine Divisions.

If Yu Zecheng hadn't discovered it early, the mine would have exploded at the crucial moment, and they would have been the sinners of the Ninth Division.

At the same time, Chen Mingli was secretly groaning in his heart.

I've become too comfortable in the Ninth Division these past few years, to the point that I've overlooked the details, which often determine success or failure.

Both of them had something on their minds, so their smiles were somewhat forced.

Yang Xiaotao noticed it too, but he was too lazy to say anything.

This was something he hadn't expected, but Yu Zecheng was able to sense that something was wrong. It can only be said that Comrade Yu is experienced in struggle and has outstanding talent.

Furthermore, as an outsider, one has a clearer perspective and is able to identify the problems.

That's why we can discover something amiss through subtle clues.

Yu Zecheng simply smiled in response to the three men's compliments.

After all, this kind of thing is just a common occurrence in his resume.

"According to our covert investigation, the other party had frequent contact with a man from Britain while providing assistance at the Peninsula Hospital."

"Our subsequent investigation confirmed that the man's name was Malaki, a British national, who had been treated at Peninsula Hospital for an infectious disease and had recovered well during his treatment."

He had a close relationship with Madame Carlisle, a French noblewoman he met in the hospital. After being discharged, he partnered with a Briton named Lucius to resell "Royal Jade Liquor" and made a great deal of profit.

"Now it seems that the other party must have contacted Bai Jing at that time, and we suspect that Bai Jing sold the Imperial Jade Liquor to the other party during this process."

Yu Zecheng quickly recounted the intelligence he had gathered over the past two days, which convinced Liang Zuoxin and Chen Mingli.

In comparison, they are the real professionals.

Yang Xiaotao, however, frowned, his anger burning inside.

That stupid woman.

"We don't yet have information about their upstream and downstream contacts. However, we are certain that they are collecting this information."

Yu Zecheng placed a small gray gourd on the table.

"The other party stole our special medicine, which is probably for research value abroad."

"At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that she herself already knew about the relevant special drugs."

"Or, it's possible that they leaked the information about the effective drug they had acquired; these are all possibilities."

Yu Zecheng's tone was solemn, and Yang Xiaotao and the other two also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"That bastard."

Liang Zuoxin cursed.

Chen Mingli's expression was also not good.

But Yang Xiaotao laughed.

The three of them looked over, somewhat puzzled.

Yang Xiaotao took the small gourd, then squeezed it hard, and with a snap, the gourd shattered into pieces, and a stream of liquid flowed out from his palm.

"Old Yu, don't alarm her yet, I have a use for her."

Yang Xiaotao spoke calmly, but the killing intent emanating from him was almost unbearable for the three of them.

"You want to turn the tables on me?"

Yu Zecheng realized what was happening and asked.

Yang Xiaotao nodded. "Didn't they want to conduct research?"

"Then give them to them."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao stood up and laughed, "However, what we gave them was spiked; it remains to be seen whether they can figure it out."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zecheng crossed his arms and muttered to himself, "If that's the case, I think we can play the long game and catch a big fish."

"A big fish?"

Yang Xiaotao walked outside. "How big is it?"

Yu Zecheng followed them outside, saying, "Then we'll have to see how stiff this line is."

Behind them, Liang Zuoxin and Chen Mingli exchanged a glance, both of them revealing a strange sense of pressure.

If we don't take action, we really won't be able to stay in this position.
