c_t; After listening to Xu Huaijin's words, Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction, this year has really tired Xu Huaijin enough, wait another year, another year, first of all, these dirt buns will really be gilded, and they can be placed in more important positions, so Xu Huaijin will not be so tired.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Huai Jin, this time has been hard for you, all the military plans of the army, you have arranged them yourself, and you have been persisting for a year and a half, and when this group of students under you graduate, they can completely help you." ”

At this time, Tang Kaijia said: "General, it's time for me to say, this year's task of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau has been successfully completed, Fengtian has recruited nearly 6 million people in the Guannai in the past year, a total of 2 million households, a total of 8 million acres of wasteland, the survey of these lands has been completed, the population data has also been established relevant files, handed over to a special person responsible for management, the resettlement of personnel has also been carried out very smoothly, the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau requested the assistance of the first division, and built no less than 300,000 private houses, basically so that the people who come to Fengfeng have a temporary place to liveAlthough Mr. Qiao Zhiyong contacted the major grain merchants in China to transport seven or eight hundred thousand quintals of grain out of the customs, although there is no problem with the rations now, the grain for next spring has not yet been settled, and we still need to raise ......

Zhang Yi asked, "How much more will it take to solve next year's grain seed problem?" ”

Tang Kaijia took a deep breath and said, "I have calculated, it will take at least 200,000 taels to be able to completely solve the problem." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Okay, contact Qiao Zhiyong, and then ask him to raise 200,000 quintals of grain to be urgently transported to Fengtian, don't delay next year's cultivation, the people take food as the sky, if it affects next year's harvest, then we will encounter a big problem." ”

Tang Kaijia nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yi said to Zhan Tianyou: "Brother Chengcheng, let's talk about the railway, this will be our focus in the future." ”

Zhan Tianyou pushed his glasses and replied, "General." After more than half a year of preparation, the railway bureau has inspected the topography of Fengtian, and I think that the Fengtian railway should first build the main camp railway line from Shengjing through Benxi and Anshan to Yingkou, so as to ensure the external transportation of our coal and steel industrial commodities and ensure our economic lifeline, and at the same time set up a railway branch to manage the line, and then build the Fengjin line from Shengjing to Jinzhou and Lushun. In order to ensure the future defense security of our Port Arthur, these two lines were launched at the same time. The total length is close to 900 kilometers, now our railway bureau engineers and external technicians have all been in place, machinery and equipment have been entrusted to Krupp to contact, soon to sign a contract, next year's spring, the railway construction will start, the construction of the line lasted two years, need to raise funds silver 10 million taels, the first year to invest 4 million taels. In the second year, more than 5 million taels were invested, which is a lot of money......"

Zhang Yi said solemnly: "No matter how much money needs to be invested, railway construction is imperative......

Tang Shaoyi frowned and replied: "Jianzhi, with such a large-scale investment, we must allocate and build in installments. If it is launched at the same time, the pressure on the financial situation will be too great, and we still need financial support in too many places, and if such a large amount of money is invested in the railway, then our military spending, education, resettlement of the people, and so on will inevitably be greatly affected......

Zhang Yi smiled: "Shaochuan, there is nothing to worry about. Don't we still have dollar loans from the Yankees? We won't have much of a problem with our funds......"

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly said: "However, Jianzhi, we have smashed so much silver in a short period of time, which will seriously affect the stability of our Fengtian society and people's livelihood. Moreover, the loans of the Americans have not yet been allocated, and once there is an omission, they stop lending, and our capital chain will be broken, and the consequences will be unimaginable! And with such a big pressure, if the United States or Germany breaks down relations with us in the future, we will be asked to repay the loan in advance, there are too many unknown factors, and our risk is too great! ”

Zhang Yi replied: "It doesn't matter, our coal and steel industry has been put into operation, and all the steel from the first phase is used to produce rails, we can discuss this with the Krupp Group, and at the same time mobilize the army to build, not to hire migrant workers, the physical fitness of the army is far above the civilian workers, which can not only ensure the progress of construction, but also save a sum of money, no matter what, the construction of the main railway line can not be delayed!" This is an indispensable boost to our economic take-off, and now that the great powers are around, if we do not break through the conventional development, we will be at greater risk in the future! ”

Zhang Yihu said on the side: "Instructor, you drove the army to build the railway, what about military training?" Without military training, how can the combat effectiveness of the troops be improved? ”

Zhang Yi said calmly: "Then rotate!" The strength of our four divisions, more than 40,000 people, each division construction for three months, the rest of the time rest, 10,000 construction troops, enough to ensure the construction of the railway, so decided, the first batch of rails must be too late to produce, contact Krupp, then they set off as soon as possible to transport a batch of rails over, the specific rail specifications, quality, brother Chengcheng, are all responsible for you, you must take care of the pass, this involves nearly 10 million taels of silver expenditure, must be given to me, control it! ”

Zhan Tianyou's face was excited, Zhang Yi's generosity really made him so happy, his railway dream finally came to fruition, and said: "General rest assured, the construction of the project will be handed over to me, and I will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Huai Jin, pass on the order, starting next year, the first division will first cooperate with the Railway Bureau to carry out the construction, and the remaining three divisions will take turns to participate, during the construction of the project, all will be completely handed over to the General Office of the Railway Bureau Zhan Tianyou for deployment, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!" ”

Xu Huaijin nodded and quickly wrote down the matter.

Immediately afterwards, Tan Feng, Mo Ru and others also reported to Zhang Yi on the armed police and intelligence work they were responsible for, and there were not many problems, and Zhang Yi was also very pleased, Zhang Yi asked the state capitals and directly subordinate departments and the army to report next year's operation plan within half a month, and make early preparations for next year's affairs.

At the same time, it was announced that the General's Mansion would allocate special funds, and all officials in Fengtian would be given three months of silver at the end of the year, and the army would be paid double salaries, affirming the new changes in Fengtian in the past year.

Hundreds of people in the General's Mansion made a big noise in the feast and spent this momentous day. (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. )
