In addition to a telegram to Wang Jitong, Yang Rui's telegram was also directly given to Zhong Guanguan, of course, because Tonghua could not communicate with the telegram, this telegram could only be transferred to Tonghua through Guò Fengtian's office. Wang Jitong was greatly surprised after reading the telegram, and only after reading it again and again did he put down the telegram and bowed his head in contemplation. It is undeniable that if the mountains and forests around the Changbai Mountain in Tonghua are used as a base, then the construction of this railway is very necessary, but the cost of this road construction is very expensive, not to mention whether it will seek protection from the United States after the completion of the construction, it is difficult to say whether the Qing court will agree to approve it now.

The Northeast side heard that Japan and Russia were negotiating to demand that Russian troops withdraw from the Northeast in accordance with the previous treaty. However, the Russian army not only did not withdraw, but continued to increase its troops, and there was all kinds of news in the newspapers, some saying that the Russian army would definitely enter Beijing like the previous time, and some believed that the Russian army's intervention in various countries would be like Japan's withdrawal from the northeast in the first year of the Chinese war. At present, the most popular thing is to encourage the imperial court to unite with Japan to resist Russia, and the group of royalists of the National Congress often gather in Zhang Yuan to call on the people to write to the imperial court to join forces with Japan to resist Russia.

On the day he received the telegram, Wang Jitong went to the instrument hall to discuss the railway with Yu Huizu -- in the personnel arrangements of the factory, Yu Huizu was the face of the factory, and he was still required to come forward for such a major matter as the construction of the railway. Yu Huizu was also stunned when he saw the telegram, even if he sold the railway, it would not be enough to repair a mile.

He took a sip of hot tea to lift his spirits, "Xiao Xu, what's the matter, this railway repair is not something ordinary people can do, although the coal mine makes money, but the money earned is not enough, this more than 1,000 miles of railway is the imperial court has to ask foreigners to borrow money to repair it." Besides, in the bitter cold place outside the gate, the foreigners are there and refuse to leave, isn't it robbing them after repairing it......" Yu Huizu had too many comfortable days and began to nag.

Wang Jitong waited patiently for him to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Brother Hanzhang, you can understand wrong, the meaning of the success is not to build the railway, but to set up a railway company to occupy the right of way first, not to say that it will be repaired now, but it will take ten or eight years to start repairing." Now the imperial court is about to issue a new railway charter, saying that both Chinese and foreigners can run a railway company as long as they have enough capital. At present, all localities are preparing to set up railway companies, and they are also trying to take back the right of way from the hands of foreigners. Not to mention anything else, as far as Shanghai and Hangzhou are concerned, didn't the grand people also begin to urge the British to step up the road, if the British do not get the road immediately, then the next step is to take back the right of way. Brother Hanzhang, we don't grab some places now, and there will be no way to repair it if we have money in the future. ”

Wang Jitong's words still work very well, Shanghai is the largest concession, the number of newspaper offices is China, and Yu Huizu has the habit of reading newspapers after staying in Shanghai for a long time. What Wang Jitong said is still true. "It's that kid, everything he does is scheming, and he doesn't tell me a lot of things. Xiao Xu, what are you all busy with, I feel as if there is always something hidden from you? And why did Xian Feng also run away outside the gate, and the newspapers said that there was going to be a war over there, so what kind of excitement did he go to join. ”

In the face of his accusation, Wang Jitong was speechless, so he had to smile bitterly, "Xian Feng just went over there to see the coal mine, and later received a telegram from him, seeing that there were rich minerals, he proposed to simply build a railway, and now he just runs the railway company first, and if the imperial court approves it, we will start to build the road, and it will take several years to do it." ”

Yu Huizu nodded, he understood what Wang Jitong said, isn't it just the current land. When the time comes, if you have money, you will repair it, and if you don't have money, you will let others repair it, and when you transfer it, you can still make some money. Now he has no objections to Yang Rui's plan. "Xiao Xu, Xian Feng can set up a company over there, and I'll write the paperwork and mail it to him in a while."

Wang Jitong smiled: "This is, this is." And Mr. Zhang Si also has to inquire about it, this railway is indispensable for his help from the champion father. ”

Because of the coal mine incident, Yu Huizu and Mr. Zhang Si have a friendship, and now the salt in the chlor-alkali factory is supplied by Mr. Zhang Si, and the relationship between the two sides is very close. After Yang Rui left, because of some things, Yu Huizu visited Mr. Zhang Si a few times, so they were very familiar with each other. "This railway matter also has something to do with Mr. Zhang Si?"

"Brother Hanzhang doesn't know, this Mr. Zhang Si is the teacher of Lord Yuan, the governor of Zhili." Wang Jitong has recently collected a lot of information about the Qing court, and he also knows a lot about the relationship between the big guys, "Mr. Zhang Si used to be the staff of Wu Changqing, the commander of the Huai Army, and when he was in Korea, the current governor of Zhili, Lord Yuan, had just entered the camp, and Lord Wu and the Yuan family had three generations of friendship, and he was specially cared for to study in the camp, and Lord Yuan worshiped Mr. Zhang Si as a teacher. ”

Yu Huizu also heard these things for the first time, and he was very serious, but in the end, it still had nothing to do with the railway, "But this Lord Yuan doesn't care about the railway?" ”

Wang Jitong smiled rarely, "Lord Yuan doesn't care about the railway, but the relationship between Lord Yuan and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce, who is in charge of the railway, that is, Zai Zhen, the eldest son of Prince Qing, is not ordinary." "The relationship between the Qing court is still very complicated, Wang Ji took a long time to understand some things, this Zhili Governor and Minister of Beiyang, Lord Yuan, is a capable person in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Qing was coaxed by him is not ordinarily good, and he basically responds to requests.

"Oh! That's what happened...... "It's rare for Yu Huizu to hear such a secret thing, he is not a person in officialdom after all, although he has a crown, but that's just the appearance." "Well, when I saw Mr. Zhang Si last time, I said that he would come back to Shanghai this month, and we would visit tomorrow."

When he met Mr. Zhang Si on the second day, they talked very harmoniously at first, and Yu Huizu was worried that Mr. Zhang Si said that this was a lofty ambition, but who knew that Mr. Zhang Si was very appreciative of building a railway for the Chinese in the northeast occupied by Russia, and promised to be the first batch of fundraisers for the railway company. With these words, the two of them were excited, with the prestige of the champion duke, it was still very interesting for the railway to be approved by the Qing court.

"Mr. Zhang Si has a lot of support for my juniors, and I can't repay him, I'm really ashamed." Yu Huizu was a primary school student in front of Zhang Jian, and his words were decent, probably pouring out all the goods that his husband taught him when he was a child. "It's just that now the Qing court has opened a new Ministry of Commerce, and all railway companies can only be handled after the approval of the Ministry of Commerce, so I just want to ask Mr. Zhang Si to introduce Mr. Yuan to Lord Zhili, it is reported that Lord Yuan and ......"

Before Yu Huizu's words were finished, Mr. Zhang Si put the teacup on the table with a bang, Yu Huizu's heart jumped, he didn't know what was going on, and looked at Wang Jitong helplessly and then at this Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian breathed a long sigh of relief, "Yuan Weiting is ruthless and unjust, don't mention it." Nineteen years ago, I severed my mentor-apprenticeship relationship with him, and now I don't have to rely on him to build the railway. Hanzhang and Xiao Xu, you will wait in the instrument hall tomorrow, and you will naturally have a way by then. It seems that he was deeply stimulated by Yuan Shikai, and actually released cruel words.

Yu Huizu and Wang Jitong hurriedly said goodbye, and when they went out of the gate, Yu Huizu let out a long breath, "Xiao Xu, I was almost ...... by you this time."

Wang Jitong was also remorseful in his heart, and he didn't collect the information completely, and he didn't know that Mr. Zhang Si and Yuan Shaokai still had grievances, which was really a mistake. "It's really my fault this time, I was almost kicked out of the door. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang Si was not angry. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. ”

On the afternoon of the second day, Mr. Zhang Si sent two documents, one was the document of his 200,000 yuan investment in the Tonghua Railway Company, and the other was a letter of introduction. The recipient is Wang Xilin, Wang Jitong has a record of all the officials of the Qing court, although this is unfamiliar but there are also records, his name is Wang Qingmu, a native of Chongming, Jiangsu, who was an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before, and now is Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Commerce, the official is not big, but the key is that he is also a middle and high-level official in the Ministry of Commerce.

In the letter, it was not Mr. Zhang Si, but Zhao Zhujun. This Zhao Zhu Jun Ji Tong didn't know him, but he read the letter: "Yunbei is the resting place of our ancestors, and now it is occupied by Russia, and the railway mine is taken by it." Today, Zhejiang Zhenhai people Yu Huizu, Zhong Guanguan, etc., real estate success, monosodium glutamate novelty is also its doing, the Ministry of Commerce is also quite commended, its willingness to the family to the northeast Tonghua to build a railway, in order to protect the rights and interests of my Qing Dynasty Yunyun...... "The letter is said to be good words about the railway, but it seems that Mr. Zhao Zhujun and Lord Wang are still very familiar, so that the big thing can be expected.

On the same day, before the post office closed, Wang Jitong sent the relevant documents to the Beijing office of the factory, and at the same time telegraphed to Fengtian to inform Zhong of the sightseeing situation. Zhong Guanguan received a telegram from Yang Rui in Tonghua and was thinking about how to operate this matter, and the local officials and gentlemen of the railway company in Tonghua were all willing, and what everyone avoided in the first thirty years is now rushing to it. Look at the railway companies of foreigners, they are not making a lot of money, but they just want the villagers to worry about having more railway donations and the like.

"The virtuous nephew is terrifying, hehe." After listening to Zhong Guanguan's railway plan, the county magistrate Qiu didn't refute anything, but the more he looked at Zhong Guanguan, the more satisfied he felt, but his two daughters had already made promises, but he didn't know who else among his close relatives had unmarried daughters, and if there was, he should be allowed. Stroking his long beard, Qiu Xian ordered him to calm down, "This matter of the railway, the imperial court has determined that it is good to do business, and this discussion should be the first in the world." In a few days, I should invite the county gentry to come here to discuss and prepare, the virtuous nephew is a person from other provinces, and it is best for this railway company to handle it with everyone, and also to help more, but I heard that this Ministry of Commerce is the son of Prince Qing Zaizhen, this member... Well... Well... is quite exquisite, if the virtuous nephew does not open up the joint, this matter will have many twists and turns. ”

Qiu County Ling is a standard reader, speaking and doing things are extremely square, but the old man speaks more slowly, plus the Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent is soothing, listening to people have a sense of drowsiness, sitting in the county government back flower hall Zhong sightseeing at this time to feel like this, at this time the Zhongyuan has passed, it is the autumn equinox of Bailu, the more cold the weather in the mountains and forests feels, he did not fall asleep after being frozen last night, and he is very sleepy today. In the morning, I wanted to sleep more, but the three Germans who had been brought from the Huzhou coal mine to prospect came to him and shouted that the weather was cold and that they would burn the fireplace, and that they would not be sleepy until they were appeased.

"What the elder said is extremely true, since the elder brother has instructed the students to prepare here, it is expected that the imperial court has already sent someone to take care of it. When the students heard that Andong was about to be designated as a treaty port, they wondered if it was credible at this time? "It's been a month in Tonghua, and the business gentry are mixed together every day, and the news of Zhong Sightseeing is also quite well-informed, and the matter of this treaty port is also passed by everyone, I don't know whether it's true or not, so I have this question.

Qiu Xianling was not surprised, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The matter of Anton's trade was also heard by this official when he was acting with Anton a few years ago, but the imperial court has never made it clear. This rumor is due to negotiations with the United States, which originally set the port at Dagushan, but after sending people to investigate, this place is not suitable for trade, so it was changed to Dadonggou. The story has been rumored for months, but the outcome is unknown. "After all, Qiu County Ling is an official person, and he has been an official in Liaodong for many years, and he still knows some news. Then the two chatted for a while, and the Qiu County Order informed him of the time for another day's discussion, and Zhong Guanguan got up and said goodbye.
