Back to the Republic of China as a commander

As the capital of the state, Jingzhou has an advantage that other places do not have, that is, it has a post office, to be precise, it has a telegraph machine.

When he first heard the news, Wang Zhenyu was very happy. He excitedly ran to the Post Office to look at the telegraph, but to his disappointment, the thing was too big and different from what he had imagined.

In May, the Beijing Department of Post and Communication issued an order to upgrade the Jingzhou Post and Communication Office to a bureau. This has little to do with Wang Zhenyu.

But Ye Zuwen felt very convenient, because he didn't have to send someone back to Wuhan to deliver the letter, and he could find Cheng Zufu directly with a telegram.

Cheng Zufu quickly called back and said that he would set off for Jingzhou with his technicians, Ye Zuwen's second son Guowei and his daughter Ye Ziwen were also traveling with him.Ye Zuwen didn't know the situation in Jingzhou back then, out of caution, he didn't bring his daughter with him, which made Ye Ziwen very unhappy, lost his temper at home and broke a lot of things.Ye Zuwen was still so angry that he said to Ye Ziwen: "How can you marry a woman with your appearance?"

Ye Ziwen smiled triumphantly and said nothing, which meant that the girl had found a market, Ye Zuwen could only smile wryly at this.

When I arrived in Jingzhou, I saw that the future son-in-law was so good that he not only subdued the local business gentry and clan power, but also wiped out the bandits who had been in trouble for decades.Originally planned to visit Wang Zhenyu's parents in Baoqing Mansion, and then finalize the marriage, but Wang Zhenyu was busy with official duties every day, so the itinerary could not be finalized.

After much deliberation, Wang Zhenyu decided that it would be better to invite his parents over.Because of multiple considerations, my family is only a little Susukida in the application, and it is not worth protecting.Moreover, clan uncle Wang Longzhong is about to lose power, once he embarks on the road of expansion and hegemony in the future, his family will inevitably be implicated.That being the case, it is better to move the whole family to one's own sphere of influence to avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Naturally, this matter can only be handled by Ma Xicheng, firstly, his parents recognize him, and secondly, if he wants to move in, it is not just his family, Ma Xicheng's own family also wants to move in together.

Wang Zhenyu thought about it again and again, and simply ordered his subordinate officers who wanted to move their family members to settle in Jingzhou, each family should be compensated 80 Dayang toll fees and 1 Dayang settlement fee.With this order, many battalion-level officers asked for leave to go home, and Yang Wangui signed and approved them all according to Wang Zhenyu's wishes.

It was June [-]rd when Cheng Zufu arrived in Jingzhou. Ye Ziwen smiled sweetly when she saw Wang Zhenyu from a distance, and looked at Wang Zhenyu eagerly. If it wasn't in front of everyone, she would have thrown herself into Wang Zhenyu's arms long ago. up.

Wang Zhenyu also felt a sense of emotion in his heart. After not seeing him for a few months, this little girl has grown a bit, and her appearance is even more beautiful.Wang Zhenyu couldn't help thinking of a sentence: "A woman is like a flower, and she only blooms once in her life for the man she loves."

Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help feeling hot, and looked at Ye Ziwen's big black eyes, motionless.

Ye Zuwen noticed it quickly, and shook his head in his heart, he was still a young man after all.So he coughed softly a few times as a reminder to Wang Zhenyu to check the occasion.

When Wang Zhenyu heard that the future father-in-law was coughing, he immediately came back to his senses, strode forward, and shook hands with Cheng Zufu: "Senior, I have heard about the name for a long time, and it is the blessing of the younger generation to meet you today. The younger generation has set up a banquet today. To drink heavily, not drunk, no return."

From the moment Cheng Zufu received Ye Zuwen's telegram until he arrived in Jingzhou, he was extremely frustrated and hesitant.What kind of person this General Wang is, whether he can get help, and how much he has to pay, all of these are uncertain.

But he didn't want to be annexed just like that. He couldn't let his decades of hard work be ruined, so despite his doubts, he came here without hesitation.When Wang Zhenyu greeted him very enthusiastically, Cheng Zufu's worries disappeared immediately, because polite people follow the rules, and such people will not be too ugly no matter how they eat.

Looking at the young Wang Zhenyu, Cheng Zufu, who was also high-spirited, said with emotion, "Being famous is not as good as meeting. General Wang is indeed young and promising. I will wait for Lao Luo..."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone sat down to eat, which was a clean-up for Cheng Zufu and his party.

As a landlord, Wang Zhenyu was naturally the centerpiece of the banquet, introducing various specialties of Jingzhou Prefecture to everyone from time to time.Ye Zuwen's second son, Ye Guowei, who is fifteen years old, sat with Ye Ziwen and complained to his sister in a low voice: "Sister, this place is really poor, and there are many mosquitoes. Look, how many bags have I been bitten?" .”

Ye Ziwen, who usually loves this younger brother, didn't seem to hear it, her attention was all focused on Wang Zhenyu.

Ye Guowei glanced at his nympho-like sister, and stopped talking depressedly, but Song Haomin's eyes were poisonous, and he saw that the second young master of the Ye family with fair skin was not feeling well, so he immediately asked the guard to take a small box of essential oil and deliver it to him.

Ye Guowei didn't appreciate it, and the son lost his temper and threw the essential oil away: "What's the use of this thing, it's so shabby and dirty here, I want to go home!"

The essential oil was thrown out by Ye Guowei, and immediately drew a perfect parabola, hit the center of the table, then bounced up immediately, and went straight to Wang Zhenyu.The guards guarding both sides saw this scene, and they were all very nervous.The captain who looked like a living hell king often said that if the commander lost a hair, everyone would have to be batoned.Fortunately, the running track of Fengyoujing was a bit off, and it just slipped past Wang Zhenyu's eyes, and the hearts of the guards who were originally raised in their throats fell to the ground with the small box of Fengyoujing.

Wang Zhenyu was busy flattering Cheng Zufu, when suddenly a bottle of essential oil was thrown in front of him, which shocked both him and Cheng Zufu.He turned his head to look at this arrogant little guy, and happened to see Ye Ziwen who was sitting next to her with a flushed face. This little girl was poking the little guy who was throwing things with her finger.Wang Zhenyu looked amused for a while, and actually forgot the unpleasantness of being scared just now, and was amused by Ye Ziwen's little action instead.

It was Ye Zuwen who couldn't hold back his face. Originally, this little son was spoiled and would not stop at home; this time he was arranged to come here, because he wanted him to see the world and lose his coquettishness. He didn't want this kid to be so shameless.Ye Zuwen was rarely angry: "Don't wait if you don't want to stay, get out of here, get out!"

Ye Guowei had never seen his father get so angry, he immediately put back his arrogance, shrunk his neck, and fled in despair.

Wang Zhenyu winked at Song Haomin, and then quickly grabbed Ye Zuwen: "Ye Wengmo is angry, this is still a child, when he grows up in the future, he will definitely behave like Guoxuan, don't worry."

Ye Zuwen sighed, and sat down: "Chenggong, Wenzheng, Ye has no way to teach children, you are laughing at me."

After the dinner, Cheng Zufu and Ye Zuwen stayed, accompanied by Ye Guoxuan and Song Haomin.Wang Zhenyu didn't talk nonsense, and directly talked to Cheng Zufu about the cement plant.

"Old Cheng, Mr. Wang is a junior, so don't take offense when you speak directly. Mr. Wang thinks there is no need to move to this Hubei cement factory. Don't the Japanese want it? So what if you even give him the plant and equipment, as long as Wang is willing to pay for a bigger cement plant if he can bring all the technicians to Jingzhou."

Cheng Zufu didn't expect that Wang Zhenyu didn't intend to buy the Hubei cement factory, but wanted to start a new one and set up a cement factory in Jingzhou. He couldn't help hesitating.

Wang Zhenyu continued: "I rescued a group of geologists from the bandits. They told me that it is in Kenshankou Town, Jingzhou Prefecture, where limestone and clay are complete. Ye Weng has a relationship with equipment procurement, and he has connections. Worry about it. On the production side, Mr. Cheng is good at management, and Mr. Wang is also trustworthy. As for sales, Mr. Wang is in charge. I don’t know Ye Weng, what does Mr. Cheng think?”

After hearing this, Cheng Zufu finally spoke up: "Cheng is not talented. How can Hubei Cement Factory be good at management for what it is today? He is ashamed to say it! But Cheng wants to know how big General Wang plans to run Cheng’s Hubei cement factory has an annual output of only [-] to [-] tons.”

Wang Zhenyu thought for a while, and then said: "Wang thinks about it, and the annual production must reach 100 million tons."

This is really not surprising. Cheng Zufu worked hard for eight years and invested nearly 300 million yuan to save up the annual output of 100 to [-] tons.This young general was [-] million tons. If it wasn't for Ye Zuwen's guarantee, Cheng Zufu even felt that this person was making fun of himself.

The truth is there, even if relying on Cheng Zufu's management to avoid unnecessary losses, the production of 5 tons will cost at least 30 yuan for equipment alone, and for 100 million tons, at least 400 to 600 million yuan will be spent Dayang, this does not include compensation for land acquisition, transportation construction, and later transportation, labor input.

Wang Zhenyu didn't care what other people think, he said to himself: "The times are progressing, the society is developing, and now to develop industry and commerce, transportation is the first, and for road construction, the first road must have cement. Construction is inseparable from cement, and industrial plants also need cement. It can be said that cement is the foundation of industrial production. Without cement, it is tantamount to telling a joke to establish a modern industrial civilization on a gravel road. As for saving the country through industry, it is more important. It's empty talk."

Cheng Zufu and Ye Zuwen nodded in agreement.

Wang Zhenyu continued: "Before Cheng Gong came, I had already decided to set aside 400 mu of land at Kenshankou for a cement plant. It is unrealistic to reach 100 million tons at once. In fact, Ye Gong knew about the funds, so he barely Raising is not a big problem, but the technology cannot come out all at once. So, after thinking about it, I still have to install it in phases. The first phase of the project will be 20 tons, and the follow-up projects will be 30 tons, 40 tons and [-] tons One phase will be implemented every year, and I plan to launch the fourth phase in the fourth year of the Republic of China. What do you two think? As long as we have cement, we will continue to build roads, railways, and steel in western Hunan. To set up a textile factory...We want to use Xiangxi as a base to make our old China's industry stronger and bigger, so that those big powers will not dare to bully us."

Later, Wang Zhenyu became passionate, and he insisted on linking the establishment of a cement factory with national rejuvenation.

Cheng Zufu was also affected by this emotion, and began to be intoxicated by this beautiful blueprint. In Wang Zhenyu's body, he seemed to see a person, a great man whom he admired but had passed away.Zhang Zhidong Master Zhang, you may see in the sky that there are successors in your career.

At this moment, Wang Zhenyu made a final decision: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Wang is a soldier, and he will do what he says, but he must explain clearly. This cement factory must be able to make money, so the dividend must be decided first. You and Mr. Ye each share Thirty percent, I will take forty percent, okay?"

Cheng Zufu stood up a little excitedly and shouted: "Wen Zheng, you don't need to say anything, I don't even want a cent of the dividends of Cheng. As long as Cheng can run this factory well, realize his dream of making the country rich and powerful, and saving the country through industry, he will have nothing to lose in his life." I’m sorry. I didn’t say anything, I’ll go back to Hubei tomorrow and move Huaxin Company over here. As for the Hubei Cement Factory, let the Japanese take an empty shell.”

It was the first time Wang Zhenyu saw such a patriotic master in this era, and he stood up in amazement: "Old man, compared with you, the younger generation is ashamed! You must not refuse this bonus. If you really don't want it, It’s also in your name, whether you do good deeds or improve the lives of workers, it’s all up to you, if you refuse, I, Ye Weng, will be ashamed to death.”

Only then did Cheng Zufu calm down, and wiped the two lines of muddy tears streaming from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said: "Back then, I followed Mr. Zhang Zhidong to set up this cement factory, but it was really difficult every step of the way. Today, Wenzheng and Ye Weng helped me. , I only hope that this matter can be done, and comfort Master Zhang’s spirit in heaven.”

At this moment, Wang Zhenyu suddenly understood from Cheng Zufu that the reason why the Chinese nation has so many problems and survived 5000 years of vicissitudes is because there are people like Zhang Zhidong and Cheng Zufu.They may not have the opportunity to grab any historical footage, and they may not have the opportunity to compete for world hegemony, but they have been doing things, doing things for this country and this nation in a down-to-earth manner.They, and they alone, put national interests before personal interests, and compared with them, they are not 01:30 worse.Ashamed!
