Chapter 622: The Prelude to the Development of Northeast China
readx; Chen Jingyun didn't stay in Beiping for too long, the day after arriving in Beiping, a telegram came from Tianjin, saying that Lin Yun, who stayed in Tianjin to rest, fell ill, Chen Jingyun frowned after learning the news: What's going on, didn't you say before that it was just tired from the journey, how could you get sick!
Husband and wife for many years, Chen Jingyun has already regarded Lin Yun as a close relative, although the relationship between husband and wife is not like in the novel, but after knowing the news, he didn't sleep well all night, and the next day Chen Jingyun was not interested in continuing to visit Beiping, worried about Lin Yun, he left Beiping with a large group of people in the morning to go to Tianjin.

I can't help but be worried, the telegram said that Lin Yun's illness was not light, and she was still tired a few days ago, but Chen Jingyun had just left Tianjin on her front foot, and she fell ill on her back foot, and she began to have a fever and even fainted for a while.
In this year, medicine is far less developed than in later generations, any sick and cold may take the patient's life, and this has nothing to do with whether you are powerful or not, then it is still dangerous to be rich and sick all over the world, although Tianjin has organized expert doctors to treat it, and swore in the telegram that there will be absolutely no problem, but Chen Jingyun is still worried.
Lin Yun's position in Chen Jingyun's heart is very special, she is not only the wife that Chen Jingyun is marrying, but also has been married before Chen Jingyun's uprising, and she has been married to Chen Jingyun when she first started.
The two of them have come all the way to share weal and woe, although many leaders in history like to divorce their first wives and then find other women, but Chen Jingyun never had any thoughts of leaving Lin Yun in his heart.
Find other women to find other women, but the wife can only be Lin Yun.
After Chen Jingyun arrived in Tianjin, he saw that Lin Yun, whose face was a little pale, was still asleep, and Dr. Smit on the side said: "Don't worry, Chairman, Madame slept because she took sedatives!" ā
Chen Jingyun, who stood up, said: "You doctors should pay more attention and try to make her better!" ā
Dr. Smit said: "Madame is sick this time, mainly because of the fatigue of the journey and did not rest well, this is the infection, although the illness is more urgent, but now the situation has stabilized a lot after the medication, and it is expected that after three or five days of continuous recuperation, it will be completely better!" ā
Chen Jingyun nodded after hearing this: "So please ask the doctor!" ā
Chen Jingyun has always been very polite to Dr. Smit, although Dr. Smit was only an unknown Scottish doctor in his early years, but he has always served as Chen Jingyun's personal doctor, basically he follows Chen Jingyun wherever he goes. Although he won Chen Jingyun's trust, Smit also knew that if Chen Jingyun or Chen Jingyun's family had problems because of his medical skills, he was afraid that his current trust would become his life-threatening medicine, so he has not stopped studying medical skills over the years, after all, in addition to being Chen Jingyun's personal doctor, he is also the special vice president of Nanjing Hospital, and he has been in Nanjing Hospital all year round.
Doctor Smit is indeed capable, two days later, Lin Yun's illness has gone for the most part, looking at Chen Jingyun sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Yun apologized: "It's all my fault for this body, so that your trip has been delayed!" ā
Chen Jingyun cut a small piece of the peeled apple and took it over: "It's not in the way, anyway, there is a lot of time now, and it's okay to stay here in Tianjin for a few more days!" ā
said that it was okay, but in fact, Chen Jingyun's national tour itinerary was arranged, staying in this city for a few days, how long it would take on the road, and the people below were carefully arranged, and now Chen Jingyun stayed in Tianjin for a few more days, and all the subsequent trips had to be pushed back, but no one dared to complain about it.
Three days later, after careful examination, Dr. Mister said, "Thanks to the well-maintained body of Madame, this disease is now cured!" ā
Since Lin Yun is fine, and Chen Jingyun is not good to continue to stay in Tianjin, he still has to go to the four northeastern provinces to inspect, the officials over there are waiting for his inspection, but they have been preparing since the beginning of the year, and he can't continue to drag it out like this.
"You stay here in Tianjin to recuperate for a while, I'll go to the northeast to have a look first, and I'll see you when I come back." Don't accompany me on the next trip to the south, go back to Nanjing to rest first. Chen Jingyun said this, his national tour is a long journey, but it will last for a long time, and it is not good to continue to let Lin Yun follow him.
Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun thought about it and said, "I asked Luo Li and Yuwei to go back with you!" ā
Chen Jingyun arranged it like this, Lin Yun naturally whispered yes, although she was a little uncomfortable because Chen Jingyun stayed with Cai Ning's woman along the way, but she didn't say anything.
The next time, Chen Jingyun said that after letting Lin Yun have a good rest, he would set off to the Northeast again, this time only Cai Ning was left with the woman beside him, and the other military and political dignitaries were also somewhat replaced, Li Lianyang and Yanjing Kuang continued to follow, while Hong Zitai stayed in Beiping.
Along the way, Yanjing Kuang was a little unwilling, originally he planned to spend some effort to send Lu Xiaoman to Chen Jingyun's bed, but he didn't expect Lin Yun's illness to make Chen Jingyun leave Beiping ahead of schedule, and he naturally didn't want to continue to do this thing when this person left, but now Yanjing Kuang is not dead, because according to Chen Jingyun's national inspection arrangement, after going to the four northeastern provinces, he still has to go south, and then he will go along the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and then he will have to pass through Beiping again. Yan Jing Kuang thought that he would think of a way to send the woman to Chen Jingyun's bed after he arrived in Beiping.
Chen Jingyun didn't know these careful thoughts in Yan Jing Kuang's heart, because of Lin Yun's illness, Chen Jingyun's mood at these times was not very good, and he was too lazy to see any scenic spots after arriving in the Northeast, basically all the rest was a work itinerary. When passing through Tangshan, Chen Jingyun went to the Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant, which is the main steel plant of the Tangshan Iron and Steel Company, although the Tangshan Iron and Steel Company has two other steel plants in Beiping and Tianjin, but the Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant is undoubtedly the largest one.
The steel plant, which is also a joint venture between Huaxia Bank and Bethlehem, claims to be the first mega-steel company in Asia with a steel production capacity of more than two million tons.
However, this steel plant has not yet been completed, and it is still under construction, and all Chen Jingyun can see when he goes to see is a construction site, so after a hurried look, he continued to go to the four northeastern provinces.
When Chen Jingyun had not yet arrived in Shenyang, Liu Dajun, director of the Department of Economic Development, Zhou Xuexi, director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and a large number of important officials had already arrived in Shenyang ahead of schedule, and had already made a number of preparations in advance for the development of the northeast industry.
In addition to high-ranking political officials, a large number of people from the domestic business and financial circles also arrived in Shenyang one after another. There is only one thing to do, and that is to develop the Northeast.
"The abundant resources of the Northeast have been initially discovered in the pre-Qing Dynasty, mainly concentrated in iron ore and coal mines, in addition to other copper, gold, zinc mineral resources are also extremely rich! Although the resources of the Northeast have been initially developed after the reunification of the country, they are limited by domestic technology and capital, in addition to national defense and security, so the development efforts have not been large! Only focus on the development of Fushun coal mine and Liaoning iron mine! And the development of these two places is far less than the development of other minerals in China! As soon as he arrived in Shenyang, Zhou Xuexi, the new director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, began to explain to Chen Jingyun the preliminary overview of the Northeast.
Zhou Xuexi, this person can be regarded as the old Beiyang, he was a strongman in an important industrial circle in the pre-Qing Dynasty, and then he also served as the chief minister of finance in the Beiyang political axe. Later, after the collapse of Beiyang, he followed Duan Qirui and others to take the initiative to surrender to the Nanjing Republican Political Axe, because he was mainly involved in the industrial economy, and was not like Duan Qirui's military bosses who made Chen Jingyun jealous, so Duan Qirui and a large number of important roles in Beiyang were arranged by Chen Jingyun to take false positions, and soon after they withdrew from high-level positions. After the Nationalist Army captured Beiping, he served as the mayor of Beiping Special City, and made great contributions to the Nationalist Army's initial control of the situation in Beiping, and later achieved great results in the development of Beiping's industrial economy.
For those who have the ability and are not threatening, Chen Jingyun has always been bold, so he was soon transferred to Zhejiang Province as vice governor, and soon transferred to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce as director of the Department of Commerce, and in 1921 transferred to Shanghai as mayor of Shanghai, during his tenure for the development of Shanghai's industrial economy has made a lot of contributions, with these qualifications and his ability, he was able to prepare for the third cabinet in 1925, Chen Jingyun was valued and transferred to the cabinet as the director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
Zhou Xuexi can be regarded as an important role second only to Tang Shaoyi in the old Beiyang faction, and after serving as the head of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Chen Jingyun told him that there is only one important thing in his tenure, that is, to develop the industry in the Northeast. Therefore, not long after taking office, he began to study the resource overview and development direction of Northeast China, and before Chen Jingyun arrived in Shenyang in Northeast China, he went to Shenyang half a month in advance to carry out preliminary preparations.
Standing next to Zhou Xuexi is Liu Dajun, the new director of the Department of Economic Development, who is much younger than Zhou Xuexi, but he is only 34 years old, which is a very young age for an economic official.
"The Northeast is not only rich in mineral resources, but also extremely rich in agricultural resources, although the new immigrants from other provinces in the country have developed a lot of land in the Northeast, but they can still continue to immigrate, so that they can not only solve the problem of more people and less land in the provinces of Guannai, but also can develop the land resources of the Northeast to the greatest extent, and it is not impossible for the Northeast to become an important granary of our country!" Although Liu Dajun's age is relatively young, his qualifications are not shallow. He went to the United States to study in Xinhai year, graduated from the University of Michigan in the United States in 1915, obtained a bachelor's degree in economics, returned to China when the country was just unified, and there was a shortage of talents in all aspects, he was naturally able to easily get important, first served as a professor of economics at Southeast University, and then was invited by Ma Yinchu, then director of the Economic Development Department, to serve in the Economic Development Division, as the director of the Economic Investigation Division of the Economic Development Division, and was promoted to deputy director of the Economic Development Department in 1921. Become one of the few political axe economists in the country. Ma Yinchu joined the cabinet as the chief minister of finance after the cabinet change this year, and he Liu Dajun also took advantage of the situation to become the director of the Department of Economic Development.
The position of director of the Department of Economic Development has always been relatively special in China's current political axe system, although there is no clear power, ostensibly instructing the role of economic advisers and think tanks, but in fact, the Department of Economic Development is in control of the general direction of China's overall economic development.
At present, a large number of important officials in the political axe system have gathered in Shenyang with Chen Jingyun, and a large number of consortium personnel have also gathered in Shenyang, which shows that the determination of the political axe to develop the resources of Northeast China has been fully demonstrated.
On the third day of Chen Jingyun's arrival in Shenyang, an expanded meeting was held, which was attended not only by many political officials, but also by a large number of business people, during which Chen Jingyun made it clear that the country's determination to develop the resources of Northeast China was unshakable.
In order to attract financial investment in Northeast China, it was announced that the government would plan to build the Fushun Coal Mine and the Anshan Iron Mine in Liaoning into super-large mining areas, and planned to build a super-large-scale iron and steel enterprise in this area.
The two large mining areas and the construction of a super-large steel plant require astronomical sums of money, but behind the huge investment is a huge amount of profits.
China's economic development has been increasing day by day, especially since the second half of 1924, benefiting from the fact that the American economy has emerged from the impact of the post-war economic crisis and entered a stage of prosperity and growth, even across the ocean, China's economic development has been greatly benefited. Nowadays, large-scale infrastructure construction is being carried out everywhere in China, regardless of other industrial output, but the demand for steel is getting bigger and bigger day by day, otherwise the Bethlehem company is too much money to build a joint venture with Huaxia Bank to build Tangshan Iron and Steel Company, isn't it just to fancy China's growing steel market.
Therefore, investing in the steel industry in China in this era is basically a business that makes money without losing money. Therefore, when the Northeast wanted to develop coal mines and iron mines on a large scale, a large number of domestic financial consortia came to hear the news, not only the financial boss Huaxia Bank, but also a large number of domestic financial capitals such as Southeast Bank and Huaxing Bank. In addition to this financial capital, several large domestic steel companies are also following suit, intending to expand their scale.
Not only has domestic capital, but even foreign capital has followed in, trying to get a piece of the pie, and the arrival of Chen Jingyun officially opened the prelude to the large-scale development of Northeast resources!
