Chapter 122: The Dust Settles
Chen Xuan asked people to find Hong Yunxian.
"Brother Yunxian, it's been a month since my brother arrived in Jiangxi, and Brother Yunxian hasn't come to visit me except for someone to bring a gift, this is not the way to make friends!"
"The handsome man atonements, now the handsome man has a lot of opportunities, Yunxian is afraid of disturbing the handsome, so he has not dared to visit!"
"Brother Yunxian, we are old friends, doesn't it seem too angry for you to call it so? Call me Yiyang as before! ”
"Yes, Dashuai!"
Chen Xuan saw that Hong Yunxian was a little frightened, and his heart was a little gloomy, with the continuous increase in strength, unconsciously, his former friends had drifted away from him.
"Brother Yun Xian was invited over this time to discuss the opening of a factory in Jiangxi, Brother Yun Xian is a local and is engaged in the factory industry, so I want to ask Brother Yun Xian, what are some good suggestions?"
"Are you preparing to develop Jiangxi?"
Hong Yunxian asked with some confusion.
"That's nature, now that people's livelihood is withering, there are more and more people who can't afford to eat, we must always find some way to solve this problem, and at the same time we can also enhance the strength of the country!"
"Dashuai is benevolent, I thank Dashuai on behalf of Jiangxi, Jiangxi is rich in mineral resources, there are too many things that can be done, Ganzhou has the largest tungsten mine in the country, since the Qin and Han dynasties have begun to mine, but due to the backward production technology and inconvenient transportation, so the scale of mining has not been large, there are coal mines in Pingxiang, in addition to gold, silver, copper and iron and other metals, non-metallic ceramic clay, limestone, etc. are also not small reserves, if we mine, only need to improve the traffic and add some equipment to vigorously mine, In recent years, due to the impact of foreign cloth, many peasants' cotton has also been unsalable, and some have even rotted directly in the soil。。。。。。 ”
Speaking of the field he is engaged in, Hong Yunxian is not cramped, and begins to introduce it to Chen Xuan endlessly, and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each project, what needs to be paid attention to, the more he talks, the more energetic he becomes.
"Brother Yun Xian, since there is so much to do, why hasn't Brother Yun Xian done it all the time, as far as I know, Brother Yun Xian is not a person who is short of money - I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else!"
Hong Yunxian's face was red, according to Hong Yunxian's description, although Qi Yunzhai is already an old signboard in Jiangxi, and Hong Yunxian is indeed not bad now, but the Hong family has no status in Jiangxi at all, and is pressed to death by the local squires, according to him, there are not a few merchants like him, many people have strength and ability, but they have no background, and they are forced to leave their hometowns.
Of course, Chen Xuan knows the bad habit of the Chinese people, if there is no background, it is basically impossible for a person to break into other people's circles and be accepted by the people in this circle, so there is nothing to be angry about, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xuan said:
"Brother Yunxian, I am going to set up a bureau of the Ministry of Industry in Jiangxi, and you know the situation in Jiangxi best, and you know our style of doing things best, so I want to invite you to preside over this director, gather powerful businessmen with little background, carry out industrial planning and layout, and recruit displaced people to open mines and run factories, of course, we will not exclude those with backgrounds, as long as they abide by the law, we will not embarrass them."
"Bureau... Managing director? But handsome, I... I haven't been an official, so I won't be an official? ”
Hong Yunxian was excited, you know, don't look at their family is rich, but don't talk about officials, their old Hong family counts up for three generations, and even Xiucai has never produced one, otherwise he would not be overwhelmed by the local squire.
"Yun Xian, those of us, who has ever been an official, is not groping for walking, and the military ** also has its own rules and regulations, as long as it is not violated, you don't have to worry, if anyone embarrasses you, you can go to Song Dudu or Zhang Jilao, or find me, but the Ministry of Industry Bureau is now poor and white, and there is no manpower, you have to recruit people to enrich the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and make detailed industrial planning, this Ministry of Industry Bureau, is an experiment I did in Jiangxi, if you come up with results, I will consider promoting it to Zhejiang, Fujian and Northeast China, and the military ** has been officially established, you are also a member of the army**, don't come up with any ideas of using power for personal gain, tax evasion, now it's not the previous Qing Dynasty, if there is any scandal, I can't save you! ”
"Xie Dashuai is gracious, Yun Xian doesn't dare to do things that insult the reputation of Dashuai, and to put it mildly, our Hong family is indeed not short of that little money, I will quit Qi Yunzhai's errand after I go back, as for the problem of manpower, Dashuai doesn't have to worry, there are many people in Nanchang who are capable but unambitious, three days and so on, Yunxian will definitely set up a Ministry of Industry Bureau and come up with a feasible industrial plan, and will definitely not embarrass Dashuai!"
"Okay, since Yun Xian is so confident, I'm looking forward to it, I've already prepared some materials for you, and my secretary Xia Yunru will give it to you later, I won't keep you, let's have a drink in the evening!"
Hong Yunxian said goodbye to Chen Xuan, and was still a little in a trance, thinking that with Chen Xuan's status today, he would be able to meet him and be an ancestor of virtue, but he never thought that for a while, he would become the head of a bureau, and he was also the number one person in the army, and he was in charge of the industrial layout of the province, what a great honor it was!
Hong Yunxian was ruthless in his heart, he must make some achievements in order to live up to Chen Xuan's trust, and moreover, after so many years, the Hong family finally became an official, what a gratifying thing is this, as for using power for personal gain? Hong Yunxian's vision is not so shallow, as long as he can enter this circle, even if he wants to lose all the assets of the Hong family, the Hong family will not hesitate!
After arranging for his family to go home to report the news, Hong Yunxian refused to delay for a minute, and went to the governor's mansion with Chen Xuan's letter of introduction, thinking that he needed to make some money to see Song Dudu, but after he didn't want to hand over the door bag, he was scolded by Song Jiaoren's personal guard platoon commander, but he just took the letter of introduction and went to report, which made Hong Yunxian surprised, there were no ten taels of silver before, how could these men look at you!
Song Jiaoren soon met with Hong Yunxian, and after asking some questions, he wrote a letter of appointment, stamped with the governor's seal, and a director of the Ministry of Industry was freshly baked, and also accompanied by two guards with loaded guns, Song Jiaoren told him some precautions, and also gave him a copy of the military regulations and some blank letters of appointment, so Hong Yunxian left, and he himself was very busy.
Hong Yunxian went out with the letter of appointment, and went to get the official seal, and he was not in a hurry to go home, but arranged for his family to vacate a big mansion not far from the military ** immediately, ready to be used as an office location, and he hurriedly went to visit a friend in his twenties in the west of the city, Qiu Dahong, he knew that this friend had gone abroad to study, and it seemed that he was still studying mining.
Qiu Dahong was also overjoyed after knowing Hong Yunxian's intention, he was ready to do a good job after returning from studying in Germany, but he never thought that reality gave him a blow to the head, and the resumes delivered to various yamen were like a stone in the sea, and his heart was slowly cold, just entertaining himself at home and doing some small experiments.
After some discussion, the two drew up a suitable list, and the patting family went to invite it, and in less than half an hour, Qiu Dahong's house was lively, and more than 20 young people were smashed by this big pie that fell from the sky, and they kept planning and planning, and drew up a general framework of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau in one afternoon.
After planning what work those people are responsible for, Hong Yunxian took out a blank letter of appointment, filled in the names of these people's positions, and instructed them not to violate any laws and regulations of the military.
Hong Yunxian went to find a famous local calligraphy master, wrote a plaque, hung it on the door of his house, and changed the furniture in the house, and the yamen of the Jiangxi Ministry of Industry was officially established, and the staff also moved in and divided their own offices.
When drinking with Chen Xuan, Hong Yunxian told Chen Xuan about his plan, Chen Xuan was simply shocked, he didn't think about it, he didn't see him for a long time, Hong Yunxian had already done all the office staff in his office, and even designed the management provisions of the department.
Chen Xuan was also very appreciative of the investment plan designed by Hong Yunxian and others, Hong Yunxian was ready to transfer and thoroughly study the distribution of minerals collected by the Governor Yamen in three days, and find out all kinds of information from various merchants, you know, no matter which era, the businessmen's sense of smell is the most sensitive, and their information is even more detailed and useful than that of the government.
Five days later, Nanchang and nearby powerful businessmen and wealthy people were invited to hold a large-scale investment conference, and Chen Xuan also helped him come up with an idea, which could let these businessmen bid, how many years of mineral mining rights did the winning businessmen have, and the industries that were not profitable but necessary, and the military could even introduce a tax exemption policy for a few years.
The more Chen Xuan and Hong Yunxian chatted, the more they agreed, the collision of the two minds kept bursting out of new ideas, one by one the ideas gradually formed in the discussion and repeatedly argued, when it came to happiness, they even forgot the time, Xia Yunru came in and reminded them a few times, and the two were still unsatisfied, so they had to stop in a huff, in terms of life, Xia Yunru would not bow to Chen Xuan, the evil force, sometimes she was a little stubborn, and Chen Xuan had no way to take her.
Chen Xuan rested, Hong Yunxian's heart seemed to have a fire, and the conversation with Chen Xuan seemed to open the door to another world for him, and his horizons were greatly broadened in an instant, so he still didn't go home, called the staff who had been set up today, discussed various feasibility, and worked out plans one by one.
