Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 414 Chain Reaction
In the ice city, people still die from the plague every day, but they are all concentrated in the isolation point outside the ice city.Valentin, a Russian who can run three times a day, is very concerned about this matter.

In the ice city, the normal life order has been restored. The Hanyao Engine Factory has started the large-scale assembly of machines into the factory, and tractors and mules have become the main force for pulling.

Zhu Chuanwen watched the workers take a shovel from the boiler room and remove a few pieces of red coal, put them under the tractor where the water tank should be, and bake them for a while before starting to crank the machine.

It was very cold in the ice city in December. The workers wore thick fur clothes to keep out the cold. The black smoke and white breath of the machine interweaved a different landscape.

"Old Chu, have the design drawings of the two-wheeled bicycle pendant and the three-wheeled bicycle pendant been distributed?"

Zhu Chuanwen supported the Hailong hat on his head with his gloved hand, and then pulled the mink scarf around his neck to let the air out, and asked Chu Keqiu in the group.

This inspection of the engine factory, Chu Keqiu, Mao Guangting, and Nie Shize all came, and the future development is inseparable from their cooperation.

However, with Zhu Chuanwen's body, even with a big gold chain at this time, it would not violate harmony.

"It's on, Prime Minister. The Hanyao Type-A engine attached to the two-wheeled bicycle will be the focus of our later research. The Type-A engine's power is still insufficient, and we still have to overcome it."

"3 horses is already a great achievement. I remember when we collected this patent: For example, the world's first motorcycle that appeared in Germany 25 years ago had only 0.5 horses of power. If you want to Continue to conquer, then continue. But this mature product has to start to be applied one after another!" Zhu Chuanwen praised.

Indeed, this is already the best that Hanyao can do so far, and the follow-up research will have to be related to the cost.

Based on the Hanyao bicycle, the two-wheeled power bicycle with a series of external devices will be the first generation of simple products of Hanyao motorcycles in the future, and the three-wheeled bicycle will be the first generation of simple products of Sanbengzi in the future. .

Both are actually preparations for the follow-up development of Zhujialiangpu. After all, the demand for coal will not be small in the future. Several supporting coal yard storage points will be opened for about 1 km by relying on the railway from Spring City to Bingcheng. The branch line will be completed in succession after the beginning of spring.

But to transport coal to the countryside, you have to watch these three jumpers.

"President, the brothers of the Zhou family are in charge of this matter personally. This winter, the 100 processing points in advance should be able to complete part of the transformation. When our engine arrives, these three-wheeled bicycles will be able to move."

"Okay, let Zhu Fan do a good job of distributing gasoline and diesel."

"Mr. Prime Minister, have you read the announcement issued by the Qing court recently?" Mao Guangting followed Zhu Chuanwen's inspection and chatted.Hanyao Engine Factory is very large, located in the core of Bingcheng City towards Binjiang City.The ice city is close to the Hanyao Family Court, and in the direction of Binjiang City, the headquarters of the insurance team can be seen in the distance. After that, there will be an insurance team stationed there.

It does take some time to walk along the wide asphalt road towards the factory building.

As for why such a large area was designated?That is for future development.The engine factory will be the center of all power core manufacturing of Hanyao in the future.

"Look, I feel that the shrinkage of this matter is very serious!" Zhu Chuanwen's mind gradually connected with the recent current events.

The Qing court in 1910 changed a lot in general.First, starting this year, the Qing court began to compile government budgets unprecedentedly, which was the first time in history.How to put it, if a collective or a government does not have a budget, it means that it does not have its own development goals. Of course, it only started this year, but it is useless.

And Zhu Chuanwen's response to Mao Guangting was actually the second point, that is, the Qing court started a census...

"Yeah, I also feel that the shrinkage is serious. It is roughly estimated that there is nearly 25% concealment."

In 1910, the total number of people in the national census officially announced by the Qing government was 3.1 million.

Are you kidding me, the Qing court is only this kind of person?

"It has shrunk by 25%?" Zhu Chuanwen felt a little funny, and said instead: "In my opinion, the Qing government's gentry did not shrink the number of people by 50%, which is enough to give face to the regent in the capital."

Of course, this matter has something to do with the Zhu family. If it weren’t for sending a large amount of condolence money to the governor of Heilongjiang Province, Han Yao will face a large amount of taxes next year. Whether to pay or not is a question .It is also a problem that the governor of the Black Province dare not accept it.

Don't make things difficult for others!Zhu Chuanwen took the initiative.

Speaking of the overall situation of the Qing court, the officials and gentry are actually deliberately concealing the population figures in their jurisdictions, because they have to report according to the population figures in their jurisdictions, and they are faced with paying taxes to the higher-level government.By lowering the population figure in the jurisdiction, you can pocket a large amount of tax money, which is the same as military officers eating empty pay.

And the regent Zaifeng recognized this number while pinching his nose. In fact, it also represented that his decree was already facing great resistance. This was the effect of a series of discounts by the Qing government.

In fact, just talking about Gengzi’s indemnity, why is it 4 million taels of silver? This is very particular. The 5 robbers asked the Qing court to pay each of them 8 tael, and the total number was obtained. So, does Zaifeng know the number he released? ?But he still pinched his nose and recognized it.

There was the Qing Dynasty, which followed the Baojia system of the Song and Ming Dynasties.When Zhu Chuanwen was in Zhujiayu, Qilu, every household in the village had to hang a household card on the door, indicating the name, gender, age, occupation, cohabiting relatives, and relocated residence. Jia established a Baochang, and "bao" was directly under the county government, and the population changes such as birth and death, marriage and migration were reported according to the Baojia system.

But because it is only a paper house number, under the rain and wind, it can be seen clearly but not clearly, it depends on the ability of each security chief.

"Prime Minister, I heard that there were many jokes in this census?" Nie Shize asked.

"Yeah, there were a lot of jokes, not all of them were published in the newspapers, you said, the Qing court's actions are really slow, it has been 10 years before the population is counted."

"Mr. Prime Minister, I heard about this when I was in Hankou. This is part of the "Gengzi New Deal." Speaking of which, Nie Shi is the highest-ranking member of the Qing court among the members of the Zhu family. .

In 1900, the Qing government signed the "Xin Chou Treaty", which shook the foundation of the country, and the rule was precarious and precarious.The old hag also clearly felt it. With her acquiescence, the Qing government's "Gengzi New Deal" followed by King Qing's going to Mongolia to open up land, Xu Shichang's entry into the Kanto New Deal, Xiliang's reforms in Sichuan, etc...

Carry out systemic reforms in the military, official system, law, business, education and society, and promote local autonomy.This is especially critical, because the "Gengzi New Deal" has led to the continuous growth of local power, making the current regent Zaifeng unable to hold the reins at all.

"Gengzi New Deal? It should be called the Xuantong New Deal now. I won't talk about what was written in the newspaper. There are interesting things I got from my side. Let me tell you..." After walking for about 10 minutes, The road to the factory is finally over. The engine factory is divided into two factory areas, the manufacturing area is on the left, and the assembly area is on the right. Along the main road, it is divided into squares with wide roads.

The crowd stopped under a telegraph pole, Zhu Chuanwen first let go of the old Badu, and then said: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas also had a seasonal epidemic this spring, according to the current statement of Hanyao Hospital, it is actually influenza.

The officials of the Qing government went deep into the villages and towns to investigate the population composition, that is, things like age, but the common people thought that they wanted to use their souls to suppress the epidemic. After all, the birth date is still very important.

But when the rumors came together, thousands of people gathered and flocked to the school of the little official statistics, destroying the school even more.

There are even rumors that Yin soldiers will cross the border soon, and those who enter the investigation list will be conscripted as Yin soldiers. The people are terrified. "

"The wisdom of the people is so stupid!" Chu Keqiu really sighed after hearing these things.

"No, old Chu, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but if this kind of thing happens, it is a manifestation of the extreme distrust of the people at the bottom of the Qing court." Zhu Chuanwen said, just right here, he paused and said: "I'm afraid there will be a big change next year."

"Big change?" Chu Keqiu didn't know why, but Nie Shi nodded his head, and he also made the same judgment.

"Well, the south side is not so peaceful!" Zhu Chuanwen was about to say a few more words, but he saw a man trotting from a distance, it was Gong Yaodao.

"Yao Dao, what's the matter?"

"Chief Instructor, the Chief Captain is in action!"

"Oh?" Zhu Chuanwen told Chu Keqiu, Mao Guangting, and Nie Shi after hearing this, "You guys continue to inspect, and come to my office when it's over, and I have to explain some things. In addition, Guangting, what are you doing?" Say something to Gu Ansheng, reduce the investment in factories along the southern coast to the city, and if necessary, communicate with the factories that our Hanyao Bank participates in, and stop work as soon as it is necessary."

On the way, Zhu Chuanwen looked at the telegram sent by his father from Chuncheng. It was very short: The Black Dragon Society in Chuncheng has been wiped out, and the follow-up action is coming.

……

At the end of December 1910, Governor Chen Zhaochang of Kyrgyzstan ordered the expulsion of the Black Dragon Society ronin. Zhu Kaishan's action was very successful and directly caused a chain reaction.

"Kaishan, this time you have made the first contribution in expelling the Japanese from the Black Dragon Society of Ji Province." Chen Zhaochang hurried over from Jicheng, and immediately went to the celebration banquet set by Zhu Kaishan.

"My lord governor, your full support is inevitable this time."

A lot of things were found in the Black Dragon Club in Spring City, such as firearms, secret documents related to Ji Sheng Huzi, etc. The actual evidence can be said to have been thrown directly in the face of the Japanese consul. When the new army under the jurisdiction inspected the Black Dragon Society, they summoned the Japanese consul in Fengtian overnight.He scolded angrily, looking extremely majestic.

"Kaishan, since this is the case, your insurance team in Yanji Mansion should also take it in. The Japanese consul in Yanji City also came to Jicheng in person, and promised me that the Black Dragon Society will handle it themselves, and those people will be released. Bar."

"Let go?"

"Yes, let it go! A few Japanese have already died. If they die again, this matter will not be resolved." Chen Zhaochang had a bitter face, and hurried to Spring City, just because he was afraid that Zhu Kaishan would make more radical actions. The death of a Japanese under 10 is not a big deal to him.

But if there are too many, this matter will have to become an international incident again, and the current Qing court cannot withstand another counterattack from Japan.

After all, in Japan at this time, the moderate faction headed by the dead Ito Hirobumi also controls some forces, which are far less radical than in the later period.

"How?"

"Yanji Mansion, send it back to North Korea directly!"

Zhu Kaishan pondered, this time, Xiao Guangshan made a big effort.The fishmonger's name is Miao Zhou, and he is now a member of the New Army of Ji Province.The one who fired the guns to the rogues was also a member of the New Army of Kyrgyzstan. From the beginning to the end, he directed a play in haste.

"My lord, if these people are released, according to their familiarity with Ji Province..."

"Kaishan, people must be let go. Our relationship with Japan is too tense. Jicheng's new army No. 20 and the three towns have already begun to deploy their defenses. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhu Kaishan nodded and began to deploy his defenses. It was obviously Chen Zhaochang's worst plan, or a gesture.

"Okay, Ning Shaoan, pass me the password, and all the Japanese in the Black Dragon Club of Spring City will be handed over to the governor." After Zhu Kaishan finished speaking, seeing Chen Zhaochang's expression relax, he warmly greeted him and began to drink.

However, Ning Shaoan and Xiao Guangshan started arguing in the camp of the New Army in Spring City.

"Guangshan, why do you think this is? After spending so much effort to arrest the Japanese, let them go?"

Xiao Guangshan got up, picked up Ning Shaoan's cup and handed it over, "Captain..."

"You should call me Shao'an! It sounds kind!" Although Ning Shao'an had an angry look on his face, he still took the teacup from his partner. It was still hot, just to warm his hands.

"Brother Shao'an, you actually thought about this before, didn't you? The captain said at the beginning that he threw these devils to the old gold ditch for mining. He was angry. These Japanese were arrested, and they were locked up all the time, waiting. Did the governor come from Jicheng?"

"Then let's go to such lengths!" Ning Shaoan felt that it was useless.

"Brother Shao'an, you still underestimate the captain. He is trying to eradicate the Japanese civil forces in Jilin Province. You have been busy arresting people these two days, but you have not read the confessions of these Japanese." Xiao Guangshan took The things I sorted out in the past two days will be reported to Chen Zhaochang and Xiliang later.

It's all about the collusion between the Spring City Black Dragon Association and the local forces in Kyrgyzstan, and the details of its contacts with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that this is the most important purpose of the black dragon association's inspection.

To eradicate the Japanese civil forces in Kyrgyzstan in one fell swoop, and the South-Manchuria Railway cannot be moved for the time being, so we will start to clean up from the inside.

What is this called? To exchange land for Kyrgyzstan Province. In this land, because of the Japanese-Russian War, many Qing court folk forces colluded with Japan. This is the purpose of this black dragon meeting.

Otherwise, why bother so much.

"So, we are going to move these people later?"

"I think, after Chen Zhaochang leaves, the order to start cleaning up these traitors will come down."

"The assets that have been liquidated?" Ning Shaoan seemed to have thought of something.

"Twenty to eighty percent."

"Isn't it too much for us to take eight?"

"What are you thinking? These eight belong to Chen Zhaochang and even Xiliang."
