Three days later, Zhong Guanguan received a telegram from Wang Jitong, knowing that he had sent the paperwork and letters for the railway to Beijing, and that he could go directly to the office to get them, and Wang Jitong also transferred 100,000 taels to the Tianjin office to dredge up the relationship. I don't know where he raised the money, but this time he spent money again and again, and it has already reached 250,000 or 60,000 yuan. When I was in Shanghai before, I saw that MSG made a lot of money, and I was worried about how to spend it, but now it seems that that the money is really not enough. Fortunately, he also set up a coal mine, which can earn more than one million a year, and the sales of monosodium glutamate have doubled, so the money should be more abundant next year. I just don't know what other money will be spent next year.

Zhong Guanguan only feels that the money is not enough now, the steamship company spends money, it also costs money to collect grain according to the plan, and it also costs money to run coal mines and iron mines, not to mention the railway, so far he has not figured out what Yang Rui is going to use to build the railway. Although Tonghua is remote, but there are many minerals, in addition to coal and iron, German engineers also explored copper mines near the Erdaojiang River, although the reserves are not large mines, but they are indeed enough for the operation of Northeast China; According to the estimates of the German engineers, in the case of transportation by steamship, the maximum output of coal mines is 100,000 tons per year, plus a small steel mill with an annual output of one or two thousand tons and a copper smelter, according to the non-professional assessment of the Germans, the total investment is about two to three million marks. These are all on the surface, and the guns and ammunition factories in the secret are not in it.

Since being transferred to the Northeast to take charge of himself, Zhong Guanguan finally understood why Yang Rui had nothing to do before, and he was always thinking about how to spend money, he really didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and there was no problem in raising himself, but he could raise a group of people to do revolution, which was not ordinarily difficult. After a headache of thinking about things, Zhong Guanguan finally began to think about it in order to prepare for the next week's railway company preparation meeting. Qiu County is still very serious, not only invited the gentry of the county, but also invited the gentry of Andong, Kuandian, Huairen (Hengren), Xingjing, Baishan, Linjiang, and Liujiang to the entire east of the province. Although there was no GDP at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he knew that building roads and bridges was a matter of immeasurable merit. After being an official for decades, how many good things can be done, if this thing can really be done, this life is enough, and this Tonghua County will 100% set up a monument for itself to remember its merits.

When the Qiu County Order was preparing to do something big, Chen Tingsen came again. This time, his intention was very clear, that is, to sell the coal mine. Zhong Guanguan is strange, his original intention is also for his sake, so as to leave a family business, who knows that he finally thought about it for a few days but wanted to sell it, Chen Tingsen also figured it out, the coal mine is not played by people with no money, and he still withdraws the money to change his business.

When Zhong Guanguan saw him, he really wanted to sell, and he didn't shirk it, and opened a price of 35,000 taels, Chen Tingsen had no objection to this, the coal mine spent 30,000 taels, and he also made some money in the past six months, counting the extra 5,000, a total of six or seven thousand taels, and he didn't want to pay, he wanted to add 5,000 taels to the steamship company directly, and at the same time required the coal mine to operate until April next year, during which Zhong Guanguan prospecting and planning were fully cooperative.

"Brother Chen doesn't want a coal mine and a ship, hehe, he really has great wisdom." Zhong Guanguan admired his choice a little. The steamship company transports 100,000 tons of coal every year, and the freight is now three taels per ton, and no matter how much it drops after the establishment of the steamship company, it is impossible to earn one tael per ton, so that it is certain to earn more than 100,000 taels a year, and his forty percent of the shares will be divided into 40,000 or 50,000 taels every year, which is twice as much as the joint stock coal mine. Although the coal mine is a long-term investment, there is really a feeling of chaos in the current northeast, and the Russians have not retreated so far, and it is very likely that the northeast will be Russian in a few years, and the coal mine will not be moved away at that time, and it will definitely be confiscated. As for the steamship company, the big deal is that the situation is not right, and they all drive away. Even if everyone disagrees, he can get four boats, and it may not be impossible to drive back to Shaoxing to set up a steamship company when the time comes.

Zhong Guanguan saw that he had made up his mind and didn't say more, so he signed the documents with him immediately, and Chen Tingsen also brought the documents of his official supervision and business office, and went to the county office to transfer the notarization together. After leaving the county yazhong for sightseeing, he immediately asked people to find those German engineers, and they were ready to plan the plans of coal, iron and copper mines and factories. The prospecting team only operates near Tonghua County at the request of Zhong Guanguan, or more precisely only near the Erdaojiang River, which is actually Yang Rui's guess, there is a county town in Tonghua on the electronic map, but there is a Tonghua City not far away, and the railway is also very strange, all drilled into the mountains, this is not because there is a mine. These days these Germans are very shocked, this month has more mines than a lifetime, what a miracle.

To plan an industrial zone, it is obviously not enough to rely on three prospecting engineers, who have absolutely no such experience. The leading engineer Klose urged Zhong to send a telegram to Shanghai, and the consulate or foreign firm should find some professional people from Germany, and at the same time send more prospectors, he was very familiar with the resources and situation of Tonghua, relying on the resources here to develop into a new industrial city, he was good at minerals, but he knew nothing about the construction of an industrial city.

After the conversation, Zhong Guanguan still felt that what he said was very reasonable, although he would have to pay more silver to the Germans for such a result, but he still trusted these foreign devils who got up early to smear prospecting. Most of the foreigners in business and politics are bad, but the technicians still have their own ethics. So he asked the factory guards to go to Fengtian as soon as possible, one was to Rutte, asking him to introduce suitable urban industrial planners to him, and at the same time asking for more prospecting personnel; According to Yang Rui's telegram, the ship from Africa was a few days ahead of schedule, and the munitions were about to arrive at the end of September in the solar calendar, and Wang Jitong arranged for two steamers to pick up the cargo near Ningbo -- Ningbo was Zhong Guanguan's hometown, where he could easily find a suitable berthing place and reliable porters, and then load the various types of machines ordered earlier, change the name of the ship according to the customs clearance documents, and enter the country from Andong.

He will take a few Germans to fight the steamer outside the port of Anton, Yu Zixun has already rushed from Tokyo to stay in Andong for a while, and he is already familiar with the Anton patrol, and the relationship that should be spent and opened is all settled; If these foreigners are properly arrogant on the cargo ship, then customs clearance will be even more foolproof. As for the storage site, it has long been found in the name of mining, in a cave next to a tributary of the Jiapigou River more than ten miles downstream of the county, the name of the mountain is very easy to remember, called Tiger Lizi. There is only one Jiapi village nearby, all of them are mountain households, and there are dozens of factory guards, all of whom are family men selected by Zhong Guanguan from the people who fled from Zhabei side, and they are stationed to protect them, which is very safe.

According to the custom, July is the Ghost Festival in the middle of the Yuan, and it is not suitable for the old men to go out throughout the month, so the distance from all over the country is only placed on the ninth day of August. But on the ninth day of the new month, only half of the people came, so they had no choice but to wait until the tenth day of the first month and postpone it for one day.

Because he is the person in charge, Zhong Guanguan must go to the meeting, so the matter of receiving the goods can only be handed over to Yu Zixun to be responsible, Anton is originally accommodating on his side, and the Germans have also passed a few days ago, and it doesn't matter if he goes or not. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, because Chen Qu's illness of the education association came from Shanghai, he took him to the Jade Emperor Pavilion in the east of the city for sightseeing, this Jade Emperor Pavilion is in the Linjiang Xiangyang Mountain, the Hunjiang River goes around under it, the ferry is endlessly pedestrians, the south side of the mountain peak arches around, and it is really a thousand weather under the foresight.

"It's really a vast land, magnificent!" Chen went to the Jiangnan people's family, and saw a lot of the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, but he had never been to Liaodong outside the Guan, and at this time he climbed high and looked far away, and was deeply shocked by the majestic atmosphere of Liaodong. "This land of ancestors should not be abandoned."

Zhong Guanguan said with a smile: "Although there is no Jiangnan Junxiu outside the Guan, it is also very rich. The planting here is different from that of Jiangnan, which can be sown in spring and harvested when ripe, and there is no more labor in the middle. Although the planting is illegal, but the yield is not low, more than one mu will receive more than two stones, less than one stone and a half. There are also silkworms here, called Quercus silkworms, but they are all raised in the wild, the silk is short and miscellaneous, and the yield is also unstable. However, compared with the labor in Jiangnan, there are very few, and although the price is low, it is still slightly profitable. ”

Chen Quzhi saw him talking eloquently, and said with a smile: "Xian Feng has not been here for a long time, but he already has a cordial affection for this place. It seems that it is the right person. Under Wang Jitong's inspection, Chen Quzhi has been sworn in by him to join the association, and he still has some understanding of some of the situation in the association. He came here in the name of the China Education Association, which is to develop talent in the base area, and education is the foundation of talent, and the purpose of the education association is to train all kinds of talents who are in line with the revolutionary construction. The Tonghua area is the center of the base area, so the educational foundation must be planned from the beginning. The gathering of squires from all walks of life in East Side Road is a good opportunity to promote the establishment of the school - the education association has limited funds, and the work of collecting donations is a priority.

Seeing Chen Quai's mention of Yang Rui, Zhong Guanguan couldn't help but think of the arrangement of things here, and now what he has done is only a start, although he has the support of the county commander, but there is still a long way to go. "Brother Pei Ren, the road is long and long. But fortunately, it has made a start, and how it will go in the future, then everyone will have to work together. ”

Chen Quai's illness did not long lead to the association, but because of the higher position he arranged and the revolutionary nature was very resolute, he had a better understanding of some important decisions in the association. Although this is difficult, but it is difficult first and then easy, and the difference between China and the West is where the righteousness lies, as long as the banner of righteousness is raised, the ringer is like a cloud. In time, if you have established a foothold in this place outside the pass, it will not be easy to seek to win the pass. Chen Quzhi was very excited, and as soon as he finished speaking, he opened the white paper fan with a bang, and fanned it up.

After all, Chen Quzhi is not the core of the association, what he said is just some conjectures about himself winning the world. According to Yang Rui and their conspiracy, in the land of Liaodong, it was not to take the customs at all, but to keep Liaodong and strive to seize the land occupied by Russia in the future. "Quietly drip into the village, don't shoot drip." Thinking of Yang Rui's words, Zhong Guanguan couldn't help laughing. Skipped this section at the moment and said, "Brother Pei Ren, today the younger brother has prepared thin wine in the Fusheng restaurant to wash the dust for his brother, and it is also just right to taste the pot liquor outside the Guanwai." There is also the county Lingqiu Master who is here, and there are all the gentry in the county, so Brother Pei Ren happened to talk to them about the education and running of schools in the county. Let's go, it's just the right time to go down the mountain at this time. ”

When Chen first came to Liaodong, he didn't know how powerful this pot of liquor was, so he happily went down the mountain when he heard it.

*

There is a way of joy in the world, but I don't want to alarm the demons and monsters in the mountains. Just as Zhong Guanguan and others were drinking and listening to the drama in the Fusheng restaurant, the door of the big car shop in the big stone shed ten miles northwest of Tonghua County was closed, and a group of bandits were secretly discussing.

The dimly lit bunk room was filled with smoke, and a few bandits were smoking dry cigarettes. The black-faced bandit sitting in the middle is called Da Jiangdong, and he is a leader of the former loyal and righteous army. In the winter of the year before last, the big boss Liu Danzi wanted to be appeased by the Qing court but was ensnared by the Russian generals, after the trapping, Liu Danzi ordered his subordinates to surrender under the coercion of the Russians, and for a while everyone surrendered or fled, but he pulled a vote of people to follow the king and Da Dong of the Boxer, and then the big boss Wang Heda was wiped out by the Russian Qing army, he took people down the mountain for bandits, and after making a few deals, the bandit number of the big Jiangdong was very loud in the area of the east side of the road. At this time, he was saying to a sturdy man in his thirties sitting on his left hand: "Zhou Kuaijiao, what about this old Taoist Dong, whether to come or not, now the seedlings of the whole Dongbian Road are in this circle, and the brothers have already pulled the line this time, and there are not many jumping dogs, it is still a live kiln, and it is ironclad to kill the past." Today, after this village, there is no such shop. ”

"The second master and Mrs. Yang have discussed, this railway is either built by Chinese or foreigners, after all, it is better for us Chinese to repair it ourselves. He won't come this time, so he asked us to come over and send a message to the big boss. "Zhou Kuaijiao is not very enthusiastic about this kiln. Originally, there was not a road between him and Da Jiangdong, as a member of the former Zhendong Army, everyone looked at the loyal and righteous army was not very pleasing to the eye, the fourteen kings of the former big boss were still there, plus the Russian army Qing army pressed the border, everyone can still let go of grievances, and now that the righteous army has dispersed, although the matter has passed two years, he still hates it, so he and Da Jiangdong do not deal with it very much.

Da Jiangdong closed his eyes and was silent, originally he didn't want to invite Dong Lao Dao and Mrs. Yang to join him, but this time the seedlings from all counties gathered in Tonghua County, he looked at it and itched in his heart, so he wanted to unite the leaders of the former armies to do a big vote, and beat down Tonghua County like the year before last.
