Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The discussion about the virtual net ore island treasure took a whole afternoon, Zhong Guanguan was still happy to do it, but Yang Rui was bent on coping with it, he knew in his heart that this was probably a lie from the Japanese again. I remember reading a novel about the Russo-Japanese War before, saying that during the war, Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro lied that Japan now has a big gold mine in order to calm the morale of the Japanese army. If this net mining island is not a lie, it is also deliberately made up a name to cover up the original truth. In the casual response of "Uh-huh......" and "oh-oh......", Yang Rui was already sleepy and almost asleep, looking at Yang Rui's hazy sleepy eyes, Zhong Guanguan was very displeased, "Actually, we are discussing a big matter, why don't you have any energy at all?" ”

Yang Rui patted his face and said: "What you are talking to me about is treasure, gold, I really can't mention any spirit, big brother, I am now the commander of an army in my heart, and I am not a businessman, I am only interested in guns now." ”

Zhong Guanguan had no choice but to stop talking about this treasure, and said: "The mortars have been transported from Shanghai, but they are only cannons, and there are no shells." ”

Hearing that the mortar had arrived, Yang Rui suddenly looked stunned and sleepy, and said, "How many are there?" The shells were cast here, and the gunpowder came in? ”

Knowing that Yang Rui would be energetic when he heard it, Zhong Guanguan laughed and said slowly: "Why are you so energetic when you say this, how can there be a cannon without money." Seeing that Yang Rui was a little anxious, he had no choice but to stop selling Guanzi and said: "Thirty-five doors were shipped, as well as dozens of steel pipes and dozens of barrels of projection, and the projectile was packed in wooden barrels of ash, and the customs and the Japanese did not check it carefully, so they were all put in." ”

Because the secret compartment at the bottom of the ship was used to hold bullets, explosives and other items were brought in under the guise of ashes. At that time, I was afraid that the inspection would be very strict, so I brought in the projectile first. As for the explosives in the shells. If you really can't do it, you can also be like a grenade, reloading and compressing black powder. Mortar projectile loading is a difficult problem, but Lorenzo Marques has been studying it for a long time, and through countless tests, the research on how to load the projectile has achieved certain results, the trajectory is becoming more and more stable, and the projectile scatter is not as large as before.

Mortars and gunpowder were brought in. Yang Rui asked again: "What about the people who made the shells, how many people came from Shanghai?" "How to make this thing has long been thoroughly studied, but in the end, there are still professionals to make it, and who would dare to use it if they make it themselves.

Zhong Guanguan said: "Seven came, and three of them were masters in the Jiangnan Bureau, who received the favor of Mr. Snow Village in his early years. Seeing Mr. Hua Feng's begging, they came over, they were already very old, but their health was fine. By the way, there is also Mr. Jianyin's second son, Xu Shangwu, who is also here. ”

Since Xu Huafeng was brought into the Fuxing Society, most of the Xu family has followed, especially Xu Jianyin's two sons, the eldest son Xu Jiabao. The second son, Xu Shangwu, resigned from his original errand, one went out of the country with Xu Huafeng, and the other came to Tonghua to be responsible for manufacturing munitions. Yang Rui had relatives for a while, and the family seemed to be determined to avenge Xu Jianyin, so he said, "Then send someone to arrange for them, especially in winter, and burn the kang for them earlier." Constitutional. How do you place the factory? ”

"Where else can it be, it's not the fourth and fifth fork villages that have been discussed before the four ditches. This ditch is also bigger than that place, and the ground is flat, and no one can build a dozen or so factories. "Zhong Guanguan thought that he could build a factory in this wild mountain, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart." It's just that when recruiting, workers are not easy to handle. You said before that you would put the workers' families in it, so that there would be more houses to build. And there will be more people who know this way, and if any mother-in-law or child runs out, it will be very difficult to get it. ”

Yang Rui knew that he was talking about a secrecy plan for military factory workers that he had designed. Although overseas Chinese joined the military factory, there were only four or five hundred Chinese in the military factory. When the factory was small, it was okay, if it was gradually expanded, it would still have to recruit local workers, and the locals would not be the same as overseas Chinese, in case there was a loyal and patriotic party, desperately running out to the imperial court where to complain, the secret would be gone, and the factory was in Tonghua, once something happened, then the business line would be implicated. For this reason, Yang Rui meant to take over the workers and their families to build a state-owned enterprise that can not leave the factory for birth, old age, sickness and death in later generations. Of course, this is just speculation, and I don't know if it will work.

Yang Rui thought that it might not be safe to get it, and sighed: "It would be nice if there were thieves anywhere." Bring them in to work, and you will be foolproof. ”

Zhong Guanguan disagreed with this, and said: "The thieves are more unreliable than the people, they see that the factory makes guns, then they have to go, and when they are familiar with it, they will definitely pull the guns away and then set up another mountain to be the king of the mountain." In my opinion, it is still easy to use child labor in line 6, especially those who have been studying for a year, if they ......"

Before Zhong Guanguan finished speaking, Yang Rui disagreed. "No, those are for seeds. If I agree, Xiao Xu will be anxious with you. Didn't Ma Bond say last time that there was a gang of ** fists or boxers in Linjiang Maoer Mountain, they are not rebelling now, they just want to live in peace, I can send someone to contact and contact, if they can talk, pull them over. ”

Seeing that the students were hopeless, Zhong had no choice but to agree.

At dawn the next day, the artillery outside Liaoyang City rumbled, and the long-awaited Battle of Liaoyang began, and the Japanese army mobilized 130,000 people to attack Liaoyang, which was held by more than 240,000 Russian troops. As soon as the war began, Yang Rui received a telegram from Liaoyang City, and he was very happy, it seems that history is still going according to the original trajectory, and his previous worries are still superfluous, he woke up Zhong Guan, who was sleeping soundly, and said: "Japan and Russia are fighting." ”

Zhong Guanguan looked confused and asked, "We can't control them when they start fighting, ...... are you?" ”

Yang Rui was first happy when he received this telegram in the morning, and then began to feel melancholy, and the Japanese and Russian armies will become strong soldiers even if they are weak after the battles next year. After the signing of the contract after the war, Russia's civil strife continued, and its sphere of influence was not in the Tonghua generation, so it could not be regarded as the focus, and after the war, the morale of the Japanese army was high because of the victory, and when the time came, they might have to cut themselves.

Yang Rui didn't care about his confused mind, and only said: "The Russo-Japanese war is over. I'm afraid that they will shoot us, and before that, we still have to build more mortars and store more ammunition, and if we really fight, I don't think anything can be brought in from Anton's side. ”

When Zhong Guanguan saw what Yang Rui said, he immediately sat up and said, "Then I'll go back to Tonghua immediately." Immediately arrange for the construction of an ammunition factory first. "Then you have to get up.

Yang Rui pulled him and said: "It's not for you to go to Tonghua now, but we have to add a sulfuric acid plant and a synthetic ammonia plant on the original basis, otherwise, once the Japanese blockade the port, there is no way to be self-sufficient in explosives." And you, try your best to go to Germany to study chemistry. Last time, Rutte said that he could give you a letter of recommendation to the University of Berlin, and if you finish your studies, you can come back and build these factories. Hey, I used to be very unserious when I was studying, and there was no hope for half a bucket of water. ”

Hearing that Yang Rui was asking him to go to Germany, Zhong Guanguan said: "I have long wanted to go to Germany, but after I leave, how is it good to be here in Tonghua." It's hard to find someone to take over. "With the implementation of the plan, the stalls here in Tonghua are getting bigger and bigger, and it is very inconvenient to change people rashly.

"That's what you're saying. Hey, we still have too few talents. Yang Rui was still very distressed when he thought of the current situation. There were only a few leaders in the first batch, and they originally wanted to go to Tokyo to poach some people, but who knew that they would set up a Huaxing Society to carry out an uprising over there. But fortunately, the talent education association and the factory's child labor training system can still be connected.

Yang Rui was thinking about it. Zhong Guanguan said: "It's done, let's transfer Wang Yunzong over." He used to be the general secretary of the society, and he was also the same brother of Uncle Mei, so he should be reliable. ”

Not to mention anything else, as soon as Zhong Guanguan said that Wang Yunzong was Zhang Taiyan's classmate, Yang Rui was funny. This Wang Yunzong was originally the general account of the Patriotic Society, responsible for the logistics of the teachers and students of the school. The handling of things is quite solid, but although he and Zhang Taiyan are from the same door, the relationship is not good, and when he can't help, Zhang Taiyan asked him to borrow money, and the IOU only wrote two yuan of borrowed silver. When Jiang Weiqiao saw it, he said, since it is delicious, why only borrow two yuan? Zhang Taiyan said, I only have a two-yuan friendship with him.

Yang Rui said: "He's better forget it." He is too close to Wang Kangnian and Wu Baochu, and those who are used to Shanghai Huahua World may not be able to stay here. Besides, in Tonghua, you not only have to manage affairs, but also have a certain understanding of Gewu and chemistry, and Tonghua is not as good as the original society. ”

Half of the current revolutionary party is disgruntled with the Manchu Qing after the self-reliance army from the reform faction, and these people are basically Jinshi, and the most unfortunate ones are also from a lifting background, such as Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Taiyan, etc.; The other half are basically students studying in Japan, and after reading some books by Rousseau and Montesquieu, they threw out the books to make a revolution.

Seeing that what Yang Rui said was reasonable, Zhong Guanguan came up with a person and said: "There is such a person in Shanghai, but Xiao Xu relies on him very much, and it will take some time to transfer him." ”

Yang Rui saw that Zhong Sightseeing was a bit of a sellout, and couldn't help but secretly think that there was a cow who was so powerful, so he only asked: "Xian Hu, why did you sell Guanzi." Say, who's so talented? ”

Zhong Guanguan is not selling Guanzi, but thinking about how to express this person, "I am not selling Guanzi, I am thinking about how to introduce this person." This person's real name is Du Weisun, a native of Shanyin. Later, it was renamed Yaquan, which is the abbreviation of the word "argon". He said that argon is the coldest element in the air, and that the line is a geometrically faceless and incorporeal form, and that this name indicates that I am a cold-talking and undignified person. ”

Yang Rui heard this and felt that this person was very interesting, a cold and undignified person, but a real person, and a little cynical, such people are generally talented, and he likes this.

Zhong Guanguan thought as he spoke, "He first gave up the imperial examination and studied Western studies on his own, then taught mathematics and physics for the Chinese and Western schools, and then went to Shanghai to set up the Yaquan School Museum and Yaquan Magazine to promote the study of Gewu and arithmetic." He was good friends with the people, and in the past, he was hired by the people to teach in the Chinese and Western schools, and at the end of the year, he and the people of the people and Zhang Jusheng ran a diplomatic newspaper. When I went to Tonghua last year, no one in Shanghai introduced him to Xiao Xu, and I think he had already joined the club. Although he is self-taught to learn from the West, he is still good at learning things and chemistry, and he will take over the Tonghua side, and I think it is nine out of ten. ”

Yang Rui said: "As long as it is not those revolutionaries who can only talk about revolution, in fact, except for slogans that can write articles and brag." It doesn't matter if he is good at learning from the West or not, the key is that he can be self-taught, so it is not difficult to take over Tonghua. When you go back, send a telegram. He was transferred in the name of the Tonghua Railway Company. You will go back to Shanghai before the year, and you will go to Germany after the year. Time waits for no one, and the land of the Northeast is no better than Kannai. We are enemies on three sides, and if we do not lay a solid foundation in the past few years, then as soon as relations between Japan and Russia ease, we will be finished. ”

Yang Rui has been in the Northeast for more than half a year, and the more he knows about the Northeast, the more worried he becomes. In April, he also thought that there was a red treasure book of Mao Xuan, and it was foolproof for him to gain a foothold in the Northeast, and if he couldn't do it, he would fight the local tyrants and divide the land. But I met Zhang Huanrong in May. The accounts sent by his family to assist the agricultural materials company have a clearer understanding of the situation in the northeast. In this northeast from southern Liaoning to Heilongjiang, there are local tyrant tenants, but there are very few, and the tenants are either bannermen or temples, and the vast majority of others have more than ten acres of land. At this time, the Northeast was still in the early stage of immigration, and the north of southern Liaoning was full of land that could be cultivated. Although the tax burden of the Qing Dynasty was several times more than that of the Ming Dynasty, in general, the livelihood of the people was still good.

Unlike Yang Rui's worries, the deeper Zhong Guanguan understands the Northeast, the more confident he is to gain a foothold in the Northeast. He said: "By the time O7 is over, our railroad will be completed. The military factory has also been built, even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty unites Japan and Russia to suppress it, we are not afraid, not to mention the rest, as long as we don't carry it head-on, in a mountainous and forested place like Tonghua, what can they do with us. ”

Yang Rui shook his head when he saw what he said, "Xian Feng is wrong." Whether it can resist the advance of the three armies is not in the guns but in the hearts of the people. If you don't talk about other places, let's just talk about this Huairen, there are more than 320,000 acres of cultivated land, more than 21,300 households, and a population of 140,000. Subtracting those flag lands and temple properties, each household has at least ten acres of land. If you plant sorghum on these ten acres of land, you can harvest 3,000 catties a year. And that's not even counting the soybeans that are planted in the corners of the fields. The annual tax in Huairen County is more than 9,300 taels, and counting all kinds of tricks, it is less than one tael per household, and how much this tael is worth is less than the money of one stone of sorghum rice. In addition to paying taxes. In addition to eating it ourselves, the soybeans and surplus grain can be sold for money, and the people will not rebel against us for such a livelihood. ”

Zhong Guanguan listened to what Yang Rui said, before his confidence was based on guns and ammunition, he had been in Tonghua for nearly a year, and all the constructions under his efforts had already taken some rudiments, so in a few years, a new industrial city would stand in this northeast place, and no matter who came to attack it, he would have to weigh it.

He still disagreed with Yang Rui's statement, and said: "The will of the people is important, but we have guns and cannons, whether it is the Russians, the Japanese, or the Qing army, they can be asked to come and go." Moreover, once Russia and Japan invade, the people will definitely be angry, and the people's will naturally be in my favor at that time. ,...... in the year of Gengzi"

Yang Rui interrupted him, "Then why don't you talk about the current battle between Russia and Russia, have you seen the anger of the crowd?" The Russians forcibly requisitioned labor, robbed horses and food, and the military discipline was not in order, and the "qiangjian" people's daughters, where do you look at the indignation? The Japanese did not buy many bandits even with money and guns. This northeastern land is not better than Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are many gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the culture is not down, if the foreign enemy invades, even if there is no crime in autumn, there will be gentry and wealthy families to raise flags to convene the people to fight to the death, but here, where are the gentry, the people are milk is the mother.

If I am a Japanese army, before I decide to clear and suppress them, I must issue an edict from the Qing court saying that our army is here to help the court suppress bandits, and the people of all counties must not set up bandits, and then eliminate those Qing troops with poor military discipline, leaving only guides, and I myself will also restrain military discipline, and I will not commit any crimes with Minqiu. If the existing people secretly assisted us and handed them over to the Qing court to convict and behead, if so, who would oppose the Japanese army? ”

After Yang Rui finished speaking, Zhong Guan had nothing to say. Indeed, if the Qing court really issued such an edict asking the Japanese army to help suppress the bandits, and at the same time rectify military discipline, the local government would definitely not be able to rebel.

Yang Rui also sighed after speaking, originally his plan was to buy the people through the guò bank and the agricultural material company, and then send the army to clear the countryside to fight the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and then establish a joint village association, and the ultimatum guò rent reduction and interest reduction will finally bind the people, in case this is not possible to use the big killer land reform. But the reality is cruel, not to mention that the land change is not successful, but there is nothing to change in the Northeast, there are too few tenants, most of them are self-cultivators, and their livelihood is worry-free for a while, so he may not want it if you give him land.

After a while, Yang Rui laughed at himself: "In this revolution, there are two kinds of people who want to move the most, one is those who can't eat enough every day, they can't survive without revolution, so they have to be revolutionary; The other is that we eat too much every day, and we have a good life, but we read too much, think too deeply, and see too thoroughly, and know what kind of world this is, so we want to change the way of the world and make the country rich and strong. Now we have a group of illiterate people who have never read a book, and as long as no one robs them of their property, as long as they can eat and live well, they will never be revolutionary. ”
