Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 427

Fengtian Governor's Mansion

Unlike Xiliang who always wore ordinary clothes before, when Zhu Chuanwen saw Zhao Erxun, a dry old man, Zhao Erxun was wearing the crane mending uniform of a first-rank official, and the ruby ​​on the top was shining brightly, very dazzling.

"Your Excellency!" Zhu Chuanwen bowed slightly.

"Chuanwen, I think Lord Xiliang calls you that, so I should call you that too." Zhao Erxun pointed to the chair at the bottom, with a very kind tone.

"Your Excellency loves you." Zhu Chuanwen sat down first, then looked at his nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, waiting for Zhao Erxun to ask questions.

"Master Xiliang said that the construction plan of the Jin-Ai Railway has been drawn up?"

"Master, I have formulated it." Zhu Chuanwen picked up the briefcase at hand and handed a complete plan to Zhao Erxun. This is the planning plan for the Jin-Ai Railway compiled by Zhao Dong last night according to Zhu Chuanwen's intention. Planning, also known as Ghost painting, whether it is implemented or not is still unknown.At least Zhu Chuanwen thinks so now.

Zhao Erxun read through it in detail, and then asked, "Ten years?"

Ten years, it's not just Zhao Erxun who can't wait so long, Hanyao is actually unwilling to make such a ten-year plan.After all, the situation is different every year. Can the situation in Kanto give Zhu Chuanwen ten years to develop?Everything is an unknown.

However, Zhu Chuanwen said: "Lord Zhao, these are Hanyao's current level, and they can only reach this level."

"No, the railway from Bingcheng to Qiqi City must be completed in the next two years." Zhao Erxun said firmly.

"My lord, Hanyao's current steel output is obviously unable to keep up." Zhu Chuanwen complained, what can't keep up, at present Hanyao's iron production actually has an obvious place to go, the construction of Yashan to Bingcheng has already started, and the remaining The production of iron and steel has been divided up by Hanyao's subordinate enterprises, so there is still the remaining steel production to make rails.

This is not a question of whether it can be made or not. It is a question of whether Hanyao will fulfill its development goals after the annual meeting.

Regarding the development of Hanyao, Zhu Chuanwen has his own understanding, 1 years is too long, and we should seize the day.Every now and then, Hanyao's annual meeting will have plans and prospects for the development of Hanyao, and what exceeds Hanyao's plan is the construction of the Jinai Railway.

Because from the beginning to the end, Hanyao never thought of building a railway that can be compared with the "D" railway in Manchuria. This is the case with the Jinai Railway, the right of way.To a certain extent, it is equal to the extension of sovereignty. Xiliang proposed to build the railway in order to weaken the influence of the Manchuria Railway on the Kanto.Just like after the Gengzi Year (1900), the Qing court made a wrong decision-the construction of the Manchurian Railway greatly weakened the Qing court's sovereignty.

The construction of the Jin-Ai Railway is to add a patch to this wrong decision to make this mistake less obvious, which is why it has the name of Kanto No. [-].

"I asked Rehe to help. Didn't I say that Hanyao has its own steelmaking plant? Get moving, you have the equipment and start moving. In the next two years, I hope to see the railway from Qiqi City to Bingcheng run through. .” What Zhao Erxun said was resolute.

"My lord, can the mine in Rehe really supply steel ore to Hanyao?" Zhu Chuanwen was puzzled.

In the Qing Dynasty, Rehe could be said to be a really good place. This place was adjacent to the famous Tangshan, which was rich in mineral resources. After Xiliang served as the governor of Shanxi, he became the governor of Rehe. This place The capital is generally held by people of Manchu and Mongolian ethnicity. The Qing Dynasty, which has been in power for more than 200 years, has never changed, because there is still a place here-Chengde Mountain Resort.

"Yes!" Zhao Erxun said with determination.

"My lord, if this is the case, Hanyao is expected to build the railway from Bingcheng to Qiqicheng in 1913." Zhu Chuanwen promised.

After all, the mining of Xiaoqingshan Iron Mine Factory cannot keep up with the development speed of Hanyao. The metallurgical industry of Hanyao, a single source to use ice city, has actually been in a slow development trend. Coal mines are enough, but iron mines are actually not satisfactory.

"Okay!" Zhao Erxun cheered, "Chuanwen, after the construction of the railway from Bingcheng to Qiqicheng is completed, I hope that the railway from Qiqicheng to Aigun and from Bingcheng to Taonan Prefecture can also start construction at the same time." Zhao Erxun Xun looked at the plan submitted by Zhu Chuanwen, which started from Bingcheng, and the railway to Aihui in the north and Taonan in the south was also started at the same time.

"My lord, don't worry, as long as there is no problem with the transportation of iron ore, Hanyao will go forward bravely." Zhu Chuanwen stood up excitedly, with a posture that seemed to have a bright future.

"Okay! I've seen the development of Hanyao." Zhao Erxun said.

The dry old man beating chicken blood is a more terrifying scene, just like the Egyptian pharaoh jumped out of the golden coffin after a thousand years of glory, which is scary.

Zhu Chuanwen came out of the Guandong Governor's Mansion in a state of majesty and high spirits.

But when he got into Hanyao's carriage in Fengtian Commercial Firm, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhao Dong, "Grandma, it's really bad luck."

"President, what goal did Zhao Erxun set for you?" Zhao Dong said.

"Damn it, it's like the construction of the railway is what his mother said..." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"President, what about us?" Zhao Dong asked in a questioning tone.

"Recruitment first, who can say what will happen later?"

Ice city
After Zhu Chuanwen returned to Bingcheng, he first went to the station of the Binjiang City Insurance Team.

"Boss, Andrei agreed that we go to Vladivostok and even observe the Tsarist Russian army in Siberia." He Laosi was full of excitement. In this era, the development of Zhu's insurance team is actually relatively backward. This military theory only relies on what Zhu Chuanwu learned from the German Military Academy to support the Zhu family's insurance team.

But now, Zhu Chuanwen's previous actions were finally repaid.

"Really? Have you confirmed the list of personnel for the insurance team to observe the Tsarist army?" Zhu Chuanwen was not surprised by this. Compared with the construction of the Jinai Railway in Xiliangya, this matter has been in progress from beginning to end. In Zhu Chuanwen's mind.

Tsarist Russia's army is known as the existence of European military police, and the relatively elite Far East Army is not weak in combat effectiveness.It's just that it's easy to hide an open gun and it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow. Under the joint calculations of the Qing court and Japan, the Russo-Japanese War, which is known as the zeroth world war, all ended in failure.

But for Zhu Chuanwen, the advantages of this war must outweigh the disadvantages.

What was the situation of the Qing court at that time, if it did not help Japan, the Kanto might all belong to Tsarist Russia...

Speaking of the present, He Laosi reported to Zhu Chuanwenhui: "It is confirmed, Prime Minister, all our column leaders are on the observation list this time, and will be incorporated into the Third Army of Tsarist Russia. The difference between the army and the regular militarized troops of Tsarist Russia."

"Tell Shan Shuxin, Lin Laoba, and Zhu Shaofang that we have won this opportunity with great difficulty. Take the essence and discard the dross. We don't have to learn the disadvantages of the Tsarist Russian army, but we are destined to learn the advantages. Tell me The observation plan this time..."

"This time, our observation will be composed of high-level generals and low-level generals. First, all high-level generals will enter the garrison in Khabarovsk to conduct systematic command research for a period of three months. The low-level generals will complete a period of two years. Among them, the insurance team club has invited these low-level insurance team leaders to write an article every month." He Laosi is very enthusiastic about this rotation training.

"Well, that's it." Zhu Chuanwen heard nothing wrong.

In Kanto, in the late Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the Qing military dared to be the first. Zhu Chuanwu first met Jiang Baili in Germany, and then Chen Heng.

Yes, after all, Xiliang is not the kind of person who refuses to accept the account when he lifts his trousers. After Chen Heng was dismissed from his duties as the commander of the new army stationed in Fengtian, he ordered Chen Heng to go to Germany to observe the conduct of the German army.

Fourth He left, and Zhao Dong came here to tell Zhu Chuanwen what price the insurance team had paid for training Hanyao this time.

"What?" Zhu Chuanwen frowned.

"General Andre, for the training of the insurance team, we will fully support the mechanical manufacturing of the follow-up factory in Boli City. That is to say, the final payment of the follow-up Hanyao Ironware No. [-] and No. [-] factories will not be received." Zhao Dong Read it according to the numbers on the file.

"It's acceptable, but the loss won't be enough?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"President, this year Hanyao has been carrying out the construction of the Bingcheng engine factory one after another. This part has consumed Hanyao's funds. In addition, the business trip to Ili is actually a job that cannot make ends meet." Zhao Dong relied on Current data say,
"Let Mao Guangting come here for a while," Zhu Chuanwen knew where the current Hanyao's highest loss was.

Hanyao sometimes swears not to give up in order to achieve the goal. This style of work is actually a manifestation of Zhu Chuanwen's will. However, sometimes, this kind of disregard of cost can be said to have caused a great loss to the cost control of Hanyao's development.

When Mao Guangting came to Hanyao headquarters, Zhu Chuanwen's office was filled with smoke...

"President?"

"Guang Ting. How is the caravan of Han Yao Trading Company?"

"Director General, 37 teams have been expanded so far, and we plan to go straight to Yili!" Mao Guangting said complacently.

When Zhu Chuanwen heard this, he was choked up. It is no longer possible to describe him completely...

"Guang Ting, where do you think Hanyao's stagnation in importing cotton from Xinjiang Province is?"

"Freight costs!" Mao Guangting almost didn't think about it. At present, Hanyao is actively establishing a cotton textile factory, which will be the focus of Hanyao's development in 1911, but among them, cotton in Xinjiang Province has always been unavoidable for Hanyao. problem.

One is the easternmost part of the Qing court, and the other is the westernmost part of the Qing court. The distance between them is more than 2000 kilometers. What kind of family can withstand such consumption.

"Then does your firm have any solution?" Zhu Chuanwen seemed to be thinking about it, but in fact, because of Xiliang's partial construction of the Jin-Ai Railway, there was no way to do it at this time.

The construction of the Jin-Ai Railway, coupled with the development of Yashan, the Bingcheng Zhujia Manor, the auditorium, education funds, and the Mongolian plan.There are so many places where Hanyao spends his money, how can he bear the costly shipping fee anymore.

"Prime Minister, if it were me, I would build a cotton purchasing base in Guihua City. We can distribute the cost of cotton transportation to the merchants. At the same time, we can use Ailon Company to purchase American cotton wantonly." Mao Guangting hesitated After a while, he said, the main reason is that Zhu Chuanwen asked this point. If it was normal, he would not say this.

In fact, the Miao Daxun incident was slowly fermenting in the ice city, and Zhu Chuanwen began to return to a person more and more.

Man-God-Man.This seems to be a reincarnation of Zhu Chuanwen.

"Build a cotton procurement market in Guihua City?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Yes, the cotton in Xinjiang Province will go to Lanzhou by land, then pass through the Yellow River waterway, and then arrive at Guihua City (Hohhot) by land. We only need to increase the purchase price of cotton in Guihua City to ensure our cost reduction. , From Guihua City to Xiaoqingshan, and then from Xiaoqingshan to Bingcheng, the transportation cost can be regarded as reduced by more than half, after all, many of our products are in high demand in the grassland." Mao Guangting said confidently.

"I agreed, and started to establish a Xinjiang cotton purchase base in Guihua City." Zhu Chuanwen seemed to have confirmed the plan in an instant.Even though Baiying Tibu gave up the commercial route from Yili to Guihua City, Hanyao's construction of the railway this year could no longer allow Hanyao to waste at such a critical moment.

The railway from Qiqi City to Bingcheng must be started when Zhao Erxun is in charge of Kanto, which is a necessary compromise for Hanyao's development in Kanto.

"What about American cotton?" Zhu Chuanwen asked again.

"It will take a while." Mao Guangting seemed to have choked on the tea.

"The Panama Canal has not yet been fully opened, and our trade with the United States is still subject to transportation routes. From Vladivostok to San Francisco, and then to the eastern part of the United States, where the development of the United States is highly concentrated, our freight is actually very expensive, which is not as high as the high-tech radio factory. industry."

He De He Neng, radio airports, an industry that later generations of middle school students can make by themselves, have become a high-tech industry under Zhu Chuanwen's creation.

"Estimated?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

Now is the critical moment for Hanyao to turn losses into profits in the Kanto region, and the funds for the development of Yashan University are like roast ducks in the capital waiting to be fed, stretching their necks.

"It is estimated that it can only be opened in 1914. My side and the Ailon Company often maintain communication. This year, we have gradually monopolized the export of tung oil from coastal areas to the United States, and the channels for many things have gradually opened up." Mao Guangting said that the development of Nanyang Hanyao Commercial Bank and Hanyao Bank can be said to be progressing steadily.

This year, it is difficult for Hanyao to achieve large-scale profitability while implementing these plans.

As for the construction of the Panama Canal, it can be said that it was the wishful thinking of the Americans first. This is the most important link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. At first, the construction was led by the Americans, but later, the French gained the initiative because of the construction of the Suez Canal.

However, the failure of the French led to the intervention of the British. The construction of a small section of the Panama Canal can be said to be an important place for foreign games after the American Revolutionary War. However, in 1914, the Panama Canal was officially opened. This also led to the transportation of American cotton towards the Kanto region.

Before that, in order to ease Zhao Erxun’s construction of the Bingcheng-Qiqicheng Railway in 1911 and the implementation of the Hanyao Annual Meeting Plan in 1911, it can be said that Hanyao voluntarily gave up the business route from Yili to Guihua City, and transferred to By setting up a cotton purchase base in Guihua City, Hanyao's cost of transportation can be alleviated.

However, the caravan of the Hanyao Chamber of Commerce bloomed different flowers at this time...
