c_t; The intrigue in the customs is one after another, and it is very lively. （ ）

Outside the gate, Zhang Yi finally waited for Zhang Jian after half a month of performance.

Port Arthur, the freighter returning from the United States, slowly docked, Zhang Jian led a delegation of 12 people to get off the freighter and walked towards Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi stretched out his arms from afar and said with a smile: "Haha, my champion father, I finally hope you back." ”

Zhang Jian hurriedly won and said, "General, don't you make fun of me, now I am a businessman who does business, where can I still be the champion?" ”

After Zhang Yi waited for Zhang Jian to come over, he gave Zhang Jian a tight hug, jumped Zhang Jian, and hurriedly said: "General, so many people are careful to be criticized for such etiquette here. ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Where did the criticism come from? Now even Banzai is engaged in the New Deal, let's just do a Western etiquette, what's the matter, go, go, go, let's go back to Shengjing first, and talk in detail on the way. ”

Zhang Jian handed over the handling of the equipment to the entourage, and boarded the train with Zhang Yi and others. Now the train from Jinzhou to Shengjing has been fully opened, this line for freight and passenger transport, has been opened, it has played a great role in promoting the economy of Fengtian, Fengtian goods are continuously transported from Jinzhou to Guannai and other countries in the world, which is a lot more convenient. [ ]

On the train, Zhang Jian laughed and said: "Jianzhi, this trip to the United States, it is really worth the trip, I have seen the prosperity of the West, in the United States, there are factories everywhere, especially near the Gulf of Mexico, standing are drilling iron frames, the oil suddenly spewed outward, it is all gold and silver, with such an industry as support, the United States is not strong and prosperous, when will we be able to reach the level of other people's China. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Brother Ji, it won't take long, as long as you and I and other reform colleagues work together, I want to give birth in ten years and learn lessons in ten years." Twenty years from now, China will definitely stand on top of the world and restore the glory of a hundred years ago! ”

Zhang Jian nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, look at today's Fengtian, there are already some signs of American development." As long as we make unremitting efforts and make great efforts. China has a vast land and abundant resources, and there will be a moment when it will return to the top. This time, I went to the United States and bought millions of spindles in one go, and at the same time, according to your instructions, I purchased a number of patented technologies in the United States such as machinery, electricity, electromagnetism, chemistry, etc., but there are some places that are too far away, and I did not have time to investigate, so I hurriedly turned back, which is really a pity. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "It's okay. There is an opportunity, Brother Ji, I will make up for your regrets. ”

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "You come to make amends, general, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Brother Ji, today you return to Fengtian." A few days ago, I received an invitation letter from US President McKinley, inviting me to the United States for an official visit. ”

Zhang Jian was a little confused by Zhang Yi. Question: "Are you leaving China now and going to the United States?" Jianzhi, you're not kidding, the three eastern provinces are in ruins, and when you are officially needed, this time I came back and was ready to do a big job under your rule, and you turned around and left like this. This trip to the United States is not a day or two to be able to come back, back and forth, how can it take three or four months, slow, even half a year, the three eastern provinces are ...... this mess."

Zhang Yi replied: "Brother Ji, you don't have to worry about this, there are Liang Dunyan and Wu Peifu and Zhang Yihu in Fengtian, and there is also Lord Yiketang in Jilin, as for Heilongjiang, Huaijin and Shaochuan are here, and it won't be messed up, but you, it's a little difficult to do......"

Zhang Jian chuckled in his heart and asked, "Jianzhi, what do you mean by this, what's wrong with me?" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "This, it's a good thing, now that the emperor is implementing a new policy in Beijing, Brother Ji's mentor Weng Tong Boss and Li Hongzhang Zhongtang, the two important ministers strongly recommend you to go to Beijing to serve as the general minister of the State Administration ......for Industry and Commerce to assist the emperor in implementing the new policy."

Zhang Jian was shocked and said, "Jianzhi, this matter is not a joke, what you said is serious?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded.

Zhang Jian saw Zhang Yi's definite reply, and couldn't help but ponder, if Zhang Jian was not moved, it was false, the Minister of the General Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, if you think about it, the official rank will not be low, at least they are all above the third grade, and as the executor of the New Deal policy, he will definitely become the emperor's confidant, but, what to do here, he spent Zhang Yi two million taels of silver, and he has just purchased the equipment back, and the yarn factory has not yet been built. It's really embarrassing.

Zhang Jian pondered for a long time, his face gradually became firm, and he said to Zhang Yi: "Jianzhi, I only know that since I left the court, I have given up the dream of being an official, and the goal is to revitalize the Chinese industry, even if there are many difficulties, I will go down this road, it is true that the emperor personally ordered to recruit me, and it is indeed heartwarming, so Lixian corporal, if you don't go, you are really ashamed of the emperor's grace, but the yarn factory has just purchased equipment to play, and it has not yet started, and our more than two million taels of silver have been thrown in. If I let it go, it will be even more difficult to explain. Therefore, I have decided that I will refuse the emperor's invitation, stay in Mukden, and set up this yarn factory, which is my future career! ”

Zhang Yi's eyes are full of admiration, the most important thing for a person is his will, a firm will is more precious than anything, wealth can not be lewd, mighty can not be bent, such a big opportunity in front of Zhang Jian, he was able to resist the temptation, insisted on staying to set up a yarn factory, in the eyes of others is simply crazy, but only Zhang Yi understands that the most indispensable thing in China in the future is Zhang Jian, a person who can abandon everything for the ideal!

Zhang Yi said: "Okay, Brother Ji, I won't tell you, after I received the holy decree, I was undoubtedly very nervous in my heart, but I was worried about you, after receiving the holy decree, I ignored Fengtian and went to the capital to take office, after all, this small pool in Fengtian is not as big as the ocean in the capital, and it is difficult to support a celestial person like you." Today, I am relieved to say this again, so I will rush this, and when I arrive at the General's Mansion, I will also have a good drink with you! ”

Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Jianzhi, you treat me as a national soldier, how can I not repay the favor, I, Zhang Jian, am not an ungrateful villain, just the emperor?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Simple, one word, drag." ”

Zhang Jian asked: "Drag? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
