Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 204 Xu Shichang Summoned

Zhu Chuanwen, who returned home, actually carefully analyzed Andre's expression just now, and finally fell asleep peacefully. Maybe his speech just now was a bit inappropriate, but judging from the frankness of Andre's selling weapons later, Harmless and safe.

Moreover, Zhu Chuanwen also had a faint feeling that the Russians seemed to have the intention of supporting him, so it was a tactful temporary refusal.There are two reasons. One is that the cooperation with Andre is deepening now. The income from the flour mill, gold factory and coal yard is part of Andre. There is a shadow of the Russians, which has to be put on a show, and the beards are good at infighting. If it can be attributed to the infighting between the beards, the Russians also look at who is powerful and who is not cooperative.

But the change in Andre's expression today has alerted Zhu Chuanwen, the bullets are now being supplied by the Russians, and they are the lifeblood of the Zhu family's insurance team.

The gun is easy to talk about, but the bullets have to be bought from the Russians after they are finished. Maybe I should mention it to Zhu Kaishan.

Zhu Chuanwen thought, there is no production line for bullets nowadays, but can the shell casings be recycled and reused?
Following the example of a certain awesome army, Zhu Chuanwen's conditions are much better now. The gunpowder has Qu Zhenggan, and the chemical expert who will come in the future. The craftsmen tried it out and imitated it with new bullets. Zhu Chuanwen never doubted the ability of the Chinese people to imitate. This is not black, but sincere admiration.

This nation is different from the Asan, monkeys, and Kunlun slaves in Southeast Asia and Africa from the beginning to the end. They rely on the sky for their food, or prefer to eat the soil in a superior geographical environment.However, the people in this land pay attention to the fact that man can conquer nature.The culture that has been handed down from the origin flows in the bones, kindness, hard work, and studious.

Yes, it is eager to learn. This powerful imitation ability is reflected on the basis of eagerness to learn. The ancient sages can lead the world for 500 years, and then the five stars will catch up with the 100 years that were left behind. One day they will be able to confirm the prophecy on the brocade of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chuanwen felt a little excited in his head. First, he gently removed Xian'er's little white hand on his chest, got off the bed softly, went into his study, and began to write letters to his father, so that He collects shell casings.

The next day

When Zhu Chuanwen was still thinking about getting off work early today and Chuanjie Xuxu's brotherhood, Xia Yuanzhang pushed open the door of the office. Because Xia Yuanzhang often had to take care of the cigarette factory, he always ran between the flour factory and the cigarette factory, so This meeting became less and less.

"Shopkeeper Xia, why, are you free today?" Zhu Chuanwen rarely joked that this friendship with the Xia family will never be broken in this lifetime.

"Boss, don't make fun of me. It's not like you don't know the virtues of those two foreigners. If you don't keep an eye on it, you always feel a little worried." Xia Yuanzhang waved his hand and said while looking for the kettle. A pair of Jewish brothers, Zhu Chuanwen is always on the defensive, and Xia Yuanzhang is always watching.

As long as Xia Yuanzhang wears a suit now, he must wear a hat. This braid is hidden in the hat on the top of his head. It looks like that without taking off the hat. Taking off the hat is a bit funny. Everyone loves beauty. In short, Xia Yuanzhang developed the habit of not taking off his hat when entering the house.

"Boss, I was entrusted to come to you." In June, the ice city was getting warmer, and wearing a hat made you sweat easily, so you drank a lot of water. Xia Yuanzhang poured water for himself, After taking a sip of Meimei's drink, he said again.

"Entrusted by others?" Zhu Chuanwen pushed his cup forward, and Xia Yuanzhang also filled it with the teapot.

"Well, the Tongzhi of Binjiang Mansion is one of the few friends I have in Bingcheng." Xia Yuanzhang explained that since his wife's family is located there, it's not difficult to get acquainted with Qing court officials.

"Is it for me? Or for my father?"

"Boss, I'm looking for you by name and surname, but this is not the rightful owner. The rightful owner is Mr. Xu from Fengtian." Xia Yuanzhang took out a letter from his sleeve as he spoke. Only with this Zhu Chuanwen can he successfully enter the governor's mansion of the three provinces.

"Xu Shichang?" Zhu Chuanwen smacked his mouth. "This has to go?"

"It's not necessary, my master. The imperial court's hand can't reach in on the boundary of this ice city, but judging from Mr. Tongzhi's meaning, it seems that Mr. Xu is very curious about you. Of course, it's up to you whether you go or not." Xia Yuanzhang But it was also helping Zhu Chuanwen to find out, which is not a bad thing.

"Let me think about it..." Zhu Chuanwen opened the introduction to Yin Chonglu, the prefect of the Binjiang Mansion.

It says that Zhu Chuanwen's identity is that he is a talented person from the Heilongjiang Province, which is pleasing to the eye, who doesn't want to be praised.

……

When Zhu Chuanwen came to Fengtian, it was already two days later in the afternoon.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Three Provinces, Zhu Chuanwen thought of the life of Xu Shichang. If it is said that after Li Zhongtang in the late Qing Dynasty, people with long sleeves and good dancers must belong to this Master Xu Shichang.

As a typical literati in the late Qing Dynasty, no one cared about him for eight years in the Imperial Academy, but the friends he made here all rose to high positions step by step. Yuan Shikai.

As far as Xu Shichang is concerned, Zhu Chuanwen still admires him, and he has a high prestige among the rulers of Beiyang and the Qing court.

The previous Shengjing generals in charge of Kanto were not as powerful as him, the governor of the three provinces, because Xu Shichang took office with the imperial edict, "Employing people has nothing to do with the bureaucracy, spending money has nothing to do with expenditure, and training troops has nothing to do with the central government." The weight of power has never been unprecedented.

Zhu Chuanwen did not come here empty-handed this time either. The large package that was half a person tall and not light was his chosen gift.

At the door, after Zhu Chuanwen handed his identity certificate to the Beiyang soldiers at the door, the servant brought Zhu Chuanwen to the lobby of the house in a short while.

"Stay here, sir, you still have some important things to do." The servant said.

"That thing is a gift I gave Master Xu, can you return it to me?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Let the villain keep it for now, and I'll bring it to you when you let me know." The servant said.

At this time, Zhu Chuanwen's face was full of black lines. I still have two guns under my armpits. You didn't find them, but you just took my gift. Isn't it a bit silly?

But he didn't care about it, and quietly waited for Xu Shichang's arrival.

Not long after, Zhu Chuanwen heard the movement, consciously put down the teacup, straightened his clothes, stood up and waited.

"Zhu Chuanwen pays homage to the governor." Zhu Chuanwen bowed his hands towards Xu Shichang, the attitude of the younger generation was very low, regardless of his age.

"You are the Zhu Chuanwen who wrote "Shooting the Condors", you are a good-looking talent." Xu Shichang admired Zhu Chuanwen when he saw Zhu Chuanwen in a suit.

"My lord, you also read "Shooting the Condors." Zhu Chuanwen had predicted many openings before, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the conversation between the two would start with the book "Shooting the Condors".

"Look, but this book is only available in Ice City. If you meet Manchu officials, it will make your life difficult during the part of your resistance against gold." Xu Shichang reminded.

"Thank you, sir, for your love." Zhu Chuanwen hurriedly cupped his hands.

"I heard that he brought me a gift."

"Yes, my lord, just wait a moment." Zhu Chuanwen wanted to find the servant, but all the servants of the high official were clever and had been waiting at the door for a long time. Hearing this, he came in with something half a person tall.

"Open it." Seeing the servant's guarded look, Zhu Chuanwen knew that it was impossible for him to do it, so he immediately ordered.

As the wrapping paper was torn, the gift revealed its true face.

It was an iron plow.

Xu Shichang naturally knew what it was, and was very curious about what it meant to give it to him. People would send Wanmin umbrellas to express their recognition of officials' achievements when officials leave office. So Zhu Chuanwen's gift of plows was telling me in a subtle way, Those agricultural reforms in the Kanto New Deal are good?Xu Shichang thought to himself.

"My lord, please step forward and take a look." Zhu Chuanwen made an inviting gesture.

Xu Shichang was also curious about what Zhu Chuanwen was selling.

"My lord, what do you think of this iron plow?"

"It is stronger than a wooden plow, and the workmanship is exquisite."

"My lord, please take a look again." Zhu Chuanwen said to an inconspicuous bump.

"This is, Han...Yao..., Chuanwen, let me call you that, you made this in the ironware factory in Bingcheng?" Xu Shichang said in surprise, he naturally knew that Zhu Chuanwen's business in Bingcheng was all His name is Han Yao, so he asked this question, and at the same time, he became inexplicably excited.

"Yes, my lord." Zhu Chuanwen was not modest, and it was not without reason that he stayed in Bingcheng for an extra day, but gathered the strength of a hundred people newly recruited by Hanyao Ironware Factory, and changed the wooden plow into iron with a clear division of labor. This is his gift to Xu Shichang.

"That's right, how many people are there in your ironware factory, flat bed, machine tool geometry?" Xu Shichang asked with concern.

"My lord, in the future it is expected to have flat beds, 130 machine tools, and about 400 people, but it is only in the initial stage. I still have a steel factory and an iron factory in Bingcheng, mainly for the consumption of iron and steel." Zhu Chuanwen Answered truthfully.

There is a saying that riches and honor do not return to their hometowns, such as traveling at night in brocade clothes. This Zhu Chuanwen is not here to show off, but he knows that the officials of this era are deeply influenced by Westernization, but in fact, he has a lot of value for the Chinese people's own industry.

Let’s not talk about it, let’s just talk about the Jinmen pancreas factory that Zhu Chuanwen owns, but it is also partly funded by Yuan Shikai, and the cement factory in Tangshan has also been taken back by Zhou Xuexi in the past two years, and he has achieved the famous "" Dragon and horse negative Tai Chi picture "trademark.

"Okay, okay." Xu Shichang was very happy, but changed his mind and asked again: "Chuanwen, tell me the truth, how much of the Russians' shares in your factory?"

"My lord, I don't dare to speak nonsense, but this steel factory and ironware factory are all solely owned by me, and this flour mill is also a joint venture with Chinese people. Besides me, there is also a businessman surnamed Xia." Zhu Chuanwen said honestly, this kind of thing There is no need to lie.

"Then I am really relieved. How is the output of your ironware factory?" Xu Shichang asked.

"In October, about 10 sets of farm tools of various kinds will be produced. No, I'm here to find a market." Zhu Chuanwen said without any concealment.

"Okay! I want it all, but I can only pay with new coins." Xu Shichang was so excited that his beard flew up. He wanted to do whatever he wanted. Next year will be an important year for land reclamation, which is related to Xu Shichang's political achievements. There are too many people but the farm tools are in short supply. Zhu Chuanwen really sent a wave of timely rain.

Speaking of the new currency, Xu Shichang has lingering fears about the financial chaos in the Kanto. He has been in contact with coinage and finance as early as 1904, and he is considered a knowledgeable person. Tickets, all kinds of Japanese tickets, have actually become the currency used. Xu also knows that if these things are abolished, they will be a pile of waste paper, but seeing it in his eyes, he can only be anxious.

After finally raising 300 million taels of silver, it is planned to make Kanto silver dollars and copper dollars to replace these credit currencies, which is the case for the so-called new coins.

"No problem, Mr. Xu, I accept all kinds of coins except those along the line." Zhu Chuanwen said with a smile, and he was also happy that these agricultural tools found a market. For Xu Shichang's new coins, it is natural Don't worry at all, this is something that will become the mainstream currency in Kanto in the future.

"Okay!" Xu Shichang didn't know how many times he said yes today. This Zhu Chuanwen really gave him a big surprise. Originally, he was called Fengtian, but he planned to remind him by ear and warn him about the sensitive dynasty like the "Golden Dynasty" in the future. Write less, this is naturally for Gong Baosen's face, he has already simulated it in his mind, if something happens to Zhu Chuanwen in the future, Gong Baosen will come to ask for help.Looking at it now, the point is a point, which is not a small surprise for myself.

Not to mention that these 3 sets of agricultural tools are an urgent need, but the silver dollars must be spent after they are made. This is a well-known enterprise in Kanto, Hanyao, and it is a good opportunity to quickly establish prestige.

When the two chatted here, Xu Shichang thought that he had a tricky matter on hand, so instead of asking for advice, he just wanted to test this junior: "Chuan Wen, I have a tricky matter on hand right now."

"My lord, tell me, I will do my best."

"There are always Korean people planting across the border between Fengtian and Kyrgyzstan provinces. It didn't matter that North Korea was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, but now the Japanese are always using this reason to wantonly cross the border." Xu Shichang said.

"My lord, this matter is actually easy to solve." Zhu Chuanwen thought for a while.

"what?"

"I have a method, but it takes time and effort." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"Let's hear it." Xu Shichang was naturally patient. He met Zhu Kaishan first, but he didn't expect that the two of them really have the same temper, and they like to play tricks on him.

"There is no particular order in this method. One is called Qingkou, and the other is called Zhangdi." Zhu Chuanwen said.

The Japanese soldiers are always making troubles, and Zhu Chuanwen always sees it in the newspapers. This book just likes to poke and do some small tricks, nature!
As for these two strategies, they are the census and land measurement for later generations. Needless to say, the benefits of the census are also useful for the three Kanto provinces. As for the land measurement, it takes a while and takes many years.

This is also the solution Zhu Chuanwen thought of in this short period of time. In fact, this matter can only be solved in this way.

"Qing population, ten feet of land." Xu Shichang read a few words silently. It is indeed a good way. First of all, it is to determine whether he is a citizen of his own. After distinguishing, the Japanese will have no excuse to send troops, and they will always come to the Qing Dynasty to snatch them when they see the opportunity.No matter how accurately the border is measured and the boundary markers are erected, there will be reasons to counter the Japanese soldiers coming in the future.

"Okay, okay! Chuanwen, your father is a good man, I didn't expect you to be even more talented, so stay here for dinner at the Governor's Mansion tonight." Xu Shichang praised again. It is the time for employing people, Zhu Chuanwen is so talented, naturally To reuse!
