As soon as he came out of Shanhaiguan, Meng Shaoyuan immediately tasted the color.

Suits and black coats are handsome, aren't they?

Freeze to death!

Seeing Luo Yiyi and Xie Songshan, he took out the clothes that had been prepared long ago from his luggage in a hurry.

A thick cotton coat and a hat with mink fur that covers the ears.

Let's take a look at the handsome Young Master Meng?

Jitter, jitter...... Shivering from cold......

Handsome?

Fuck you.

This weather can really freeze people to death.

"I wish the manager, you will wear this to Manchuria, that is not good." Xie Songshan looked worried: "This will be frozen." ”

"Ah, bring it, bring it...... Sneeze. Meng Shaoyuan sneezed, and looked at Luo with a look for help: "Steward Luo, that, bring my clothes." ”

Yes? You don't have any clothes, these clothes are mine?

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan give him a look, he remembered his identity, that was a housekeeper, as a housekeeper, how could the boss not bring his clothes?

It has entered Manchuria, and at this time it is full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Gritting his teeth, he handed over the clothes he had prepared for himself to Meng Shaoyuan: "I wish the manager, please change your clothes." ”

Sure enough, it was much warmer.

Meng Shaoyuan was satisfied, especially this hat, it was warm, he glanced at Luo: "I said Steward Luo, you should also change it quickly, don't freeze." ”

Do I change?

My clothes are with you!

"Boss, I'm in a hurry, I forgot to bring it." Luo glanced at a bitter face.

"Very careless, very careless." Meng Shaoyuan severely criticized his housekeeper: "It's so cold in the Northeast, it doesn't matter if you don't bring your clothes and freeze them, who will help me do things?" ”

You are not a thing, Luo glanced at his mouth and said "yes, yes", and kept cursing Meng Shaoyuan in his heart.

"Manager Zhu, this is your first time in Manchuria, right?"

"yes."

Xie Songshan kindly reminded him: "This is out of the customs, it can't be like the northeast and northeast when it was in the pass, this is Manchuria, Manchukuo, there is an emperor, our Emperor Kant." ”

That's right, this is now the puppet state of Manchukuo, and the "Emperor Kant" is the nominal emperor......

During the period when Zhang Zuolin was in charge of Northeast China, Northeast China entered a golden age of economic development, and great development was achieved in industry, agriculture, minerals, commerce, and finance, and it was in the forefront of the country in terms of business scale, production efficiency, and development speed.

In particular, before the September 18 Incident, there were continuous civil wars throughout the country, but with the large influx of people from the eastern part of the country, all fields of the economy showed a thriving scene, and the economy was unprecedentedly prosperous.

At that time, Northeast China could be said to be an important grain production base in the world, especially in the 20s of the 20th century, more than 80% of the world's soybeans came from Northeast China.

In terms of military industry, Zhang Zuolin established the arsenal of the three eastern provinces on the basis of the Fengtian Ordnance Bureau, and later set up the Northeast Aviation Factory and the Navy Factory. The military industry in the northeast has left the rest of the country far behind, so much so that the Japanese were amazed when they took over the arsenals left by Zhang Xueliang on September 18.

On the basis of the military industry as the support, the Northeast has also vigorously developed heavy industry and mining. A large number of modern industrial sectors such as machine factories, sand turning plants, power plants, and iron factories were built.

In terms of transportation, the Northeast has established its own railway network and set up the Northeast Shipping Bureau, which is specifically responsible for shipping.

During Japan's occupation of Northeast China, the "Manchurian Railway" was used as a fulcrum to develop the Manchurian Railway into a complex involving railways, mines, machinery, electricity, steel and other fields through the high profits obtained.

It's a pity that it's such a good place.

Why did you give it to the Japanese?

Without Tohoku, Japan's domestic economy would have collapsed on its own.

Even if you brainwash the Japanese people, it will be useless.

There are losers every year, but if you can ruin your family like this, that little sixth son is the only one.

Meng Shaoyuan was also thinking at the time, even if he didn't know anything about military affairs, but he had to let himself command, with such a big family business left by the old man, the air force, army, and tanks, they could stick to it for a long time, right?

It's a pity.

If you don't come to the Northeast, I thought that this place was too backward, and the traffic basically depended on horse-drawn carriages and legs. Only when I arrived in person did I know that the transportation here was far more developed than I imagined.

After leaving the customs, all the way to take the train, directly to "Xinjing".

It's just that on the train, there are always Japanese soldiers who show up, check the documents, fortunately there is Xie Songshan by his side, and there is no danger along the way.

Finally arrived at Changchun, the "capital" of the puppet state of Manchukuo...... No, Xinjing, Meng Shaoyuan kept reminding himself that he must be called Xinjing.

As soon as you enter Shinkyo, the biggest feeling is that there are Japanese people everywhere.

The Japanese expatriate, the Japanese military police, this is Japan's territory.

Xie Songshan was so attentive and attentive that he arranged Meng Shaoyuan and the two of them in the best hotel in Xinjing, the Manchuria Hotel, which was also opened by the Japanese.

The manager of the hotel, Jin Tian Youjiang, was familiar with Xie Songshan, and Xie Songshan helped Meng Shaoyuan and them to be a guarantor.

"Name, what are you doing here?" When he asked the waiter to register, Kaneda Youe's face was full of disdain for the Chinese who came from Guannai.

"Zhu Yanfan, come here to buy goods and do business."

What I never expected was that from Meng Shaoyuan's mouth, a string of fluent Japanese actually popped out.

"Do you speak Japanese?" Jintian has Jiang Yi stunned.

"Yes, my mother is Japanese, from Tokyo." Meng Shaoyuan replied in fluent Japanese: "My grandfather served as the deputy minister of finance of the Republic of China government. ”

Kaneda Yue suddenly realized.

Don't look at the Japanese are very arrogant on Chinese soil, but in fact, many Japanese, at least before the September 18 incident, were proud to marry their daughters to the sons of high-ranking Chinese officials, or celebrities.

After all, no matter how weak China is, it was once the superior state of the Heavenly Empire.

There was once a person surnamed Zuo, who was a descendant of Zuo Zongtang, a side branch. When I was studying in Japan, I was favored by the daughter of a high-ranking official in Japan, but this surnamed Zuo was very backbone and unwilling to marry a Japanese woman.

As a result, this woman's hunger strike threatened, this family of Japanese, as soon as they heard that this person was Zuo Zongtang's descendant, what father, mother, brother, cousin, all came to the residence surnamed Zuo to lobby, and even begged bitterly.

In the end, under the persuasion of fellow villagers and friends, the surnamed Zuo reluctantly married this Japanese woman.

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan said this, Jintian Youjiang suddenly felt a little intimate with him.

How did he know that the "Zhu Yanfan" in front of him had always been nonsense, but the lies he made up had always stopped at the point, but he could always get to the point, so that those who listened would often believe it.

Coupled with his fluency in Japanese and a strong Japanese accent, Kaneda has no doubts.

"Give him a room on the third floor." Kaneda Arie took the pen from the waiter's hand and changed the guarantor from Xie Songshan to his own name.

The room on the third floor is the best in the whole Manchurian Hotel.

And the guarantor is Japanese, so there will be no trouble in the future.

Xie Songshan also knew for the first time that "Zhu Yanfan" still had Japanese blood on his body, and he spoke Japanese so fluently, but fortunately, he was respectful to him along the way.

No wonder he became the deputy general manager at such a young age, it turned out that the background at home was very hard.

Xie Songshan is a Manchurian, he knows some Japanese, and he can barely communicate with the Japanese, but Luo is stupid at a glance.

Why did Chief Meng say so slippery Japanese? And after a few words, the Japanese man's attitude towards him changed dramatically.

"Mr. Zhu, if you need anything, you can call the front desk." Jin Tian Youjiang said enthusiastically: "If you want to apply for a pass in Xinjing, I can help you do it." With the Manchurian Grand Hotel as a guarantor, there must be no problem. ”

"Thank you so much." Meng Shaoyuan took out a stack of money: "Here, it's two thousand yen, temporarily stored here for you, our food and accommodation expenses, as well as the cost of applying for a pass, you can deduct it yourself." If that's not enough, feel free to let me know. ”

"Enough, enough."

Kaneda Yue was greatly pleased.

This young man has Japanese ancestry, and after he is a high-ranking official, plus he is so generous, he must make friends with him.

Xie Songshan personally sent Meng Shaoyuan to the room: "Manager Zhu, tonight, I will be the east in the 'Sheng'en Hall', which is where the emperor once eats, and the three words of the Sheng'en Hall are also inscribed by Du Ge Lao himself, and Man Xinjing can no longer find a better restaurant than it." ”

Meng Shaoyuan asked, "Who is Elder Du Ge?" ”

"Du Mingshan, who was a bachelor in the Qing Dynasty, gave the military plane to walk, after the Qing Dynasty was gone, Du Ge wanted to jump into the well and martyrdom, but unfortunately the wellhead was too narrow, and he was persuaded by his subordinates, so it didn't succeed."

Luo on the side laughed out loud with a "poof".

After the Qing Dynasty was gone, there were too many people who wanted to seek death and martyrdom to repay Long's kindness, but unfortunately none of them died, either persuaded by their families or pulled by their protégés.

In a word, if you want to commit suicide, someone must be around, if you are alone, who will watch this drama of loyalty to the country? Could it be that he is really dead?

Xie Songshan didn't hear it: "Later, when the commander entered Beijing, Du Ge was the most supportive of the restoration...... That, the Qing Dynasty restored the country. It's a pity that after the defeat of the defense coach...... The emperor successfully restored the country in Manchuria, and originally thought that Du Ge Lao would be the chief of the military and political department, but as a result, he appointed Chief Ma. Later, he thought that he could become the chief minister of justice, but unfortunately appointed Chief Feng. In the end, Du Ge only served as the assistant to the chief of justice, so he was very complaining. ”

This time, even Meng Shaoyuan wanted to laugh.

"Du Ge's second son, Du Zhenxian, is good friends with me, he works in the industrial department, and I invited him to come here tonight, which is considered to be a pick-up for Manager Zhu."

"There is labor, there is labor!" Meng Shaoyuan arched his hand.

It seems that tonight's reception banquet will face a bunch of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods.
