Wang Yongan thought for a while, nodded and said: "In fact, the strategic significance of building a railway is more important than the economic significance, you must know that if manpower transports military rations, only two percent of ten percent of military food can be transported to the hands of front-line soldiers, and the remaining eighty percent are eaten by baggage troops, but if the railway is built, the logistics support can be greatly improved, the army losses are smaller, and the base camp can put more funds on building more troops."

Shen Yunpei nodded constantly and said, "This is the best, Yun Shuai and I want to go together." ”

Wang Yongan said: "If it is said to run through China, it is better to look at the east and west directions of the Bianluo Railway at the same time, and build it to Haizhou in the east and Xinjiang in the west." ”

Shen Yunpei's eyes widened, and he said very excitedly in his heart: "Yun Shuai's ambition is not small, he has the world in mind, and he is worthy of being a talented person in Jiangbei, and I and other people in Jiangbei are proud of Yun Shuai." If the railway is successfully built, it will benefit the present, the merit will be in the future, and the whole world will be ......"

Wang Yongan listened to Shen Yunpei praising himself on the surface, but he knew very well in his heart that Old Lady Shen was fooling himself into investing in the construction of the Longhai Railway. But he was very calm in his heart, and he was not affected by Shen Yunpei at all, after all, the construction of this railway could not be completed by the Qing government and the Republic of China government alone, and later he still found a Belgian railway company to build the railway. So Wang Yongan laughed and said: "Shen Lao is too famous, I, Wang Jingyun, have ambitions, but I don't have the ability, the whole country will build the east-west railway, and I can only build a short section now." For the railway that extends east of the Bianluo Railway to Haizhou, I can invest in you, but don't expect me, a small businessman, to invest too much, after all, the railway revenue is not so fast, and there are too many places around me to spend money. ”

"It's great if Yun Shuai comes forward, we only need Yun Shuai's attitude, after all, the railway is built on Yun Shuai's territory, if Yun Shuai invests money, how dare anyone stop it." Shen Yunpei slapped happily.

Wang Yongan replied with a smile: "Even if I don't have the funding, I will fully support the construction of the railway, and I will never tolerate any illegal obstruction." Boss Shen can rest assured that if anyone or any force obstructs the construction of the railway, our department will crusade against it. ”

Shen Yunpei was excited, his old face revealed excitement, he thought that with Wang Yongan, a financial giant, he could at least turn the Bianluo Railway into the Hailuo Railway. Shen Yunpei had already negotiated with some wealthy businessmen in Jiangbei in the early stage, such as Zhang Jian and Xu Dinglin, and contacted the Qiao family in Shanxi and the He family in Tianjin, and Wang Yongan's participation represented that the wealth of Jiangnan and Jiangbei could support the construction of the railway.

Being able to build a large railway connecting the east and west of China, Shen Yunpei felt that his long-cherished wish in this life would be completed, although he would have no regrets about dying. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Westernization Movement began, China rose up a railway construction frenzy, especially the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War made China full of righteous indignation, and the governors of various places began to build railways according to the requirements of the Guangxu Emperor, and by 1900, the Qing Dynasty had built 15 railways. But with the Boxer Rebellion and the Gengzi indemnity, resulting in the Qing treasury empty, at this time Chinese politicians did not forget to build the Chinese railway, they adopted the way of borrowing and mortgaging the construction, that is, the railway was returned to China after many years, and during this period, the right to build the railway and the income were all to foreign companies, between 1900 and 1910, the Qing Empire under the auspices of Cixi built 26 railways in just a few years, and there were as many as 11 railways to be built, after the end of the Qing Empire, In the early stage of the Beiyang government, all 11 railways were built. However, in the warlord melee in the later period of the Beiyang government, the warlords had no time to build railways, and the climax of China's railway construction occurred after all the Yi Zhi Feng troops in Northeast China joined the National Revolutionary Army, and Jiang Zhongzheng had the time and energy to preside over the railway construction work and start the nationwide railway development.

However, unlike Shen Yunpei's optimism, Wang Yongan imagined that in the future, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in history, the Japanese would attack on both north and south, and their offensive route would be along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and the Japanese invaders would not be able to make a breakthrough in Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, and Guizhou, where the railways were the least developed. The railway is a double-edged sword, it drives the country's economic construction, but for the invaders, the railway is the main artery they must take the lead in mastering, who masters the railway, who will grasp the initiative on the battlefield, two legs or four legs, will always be left behind by the wheels.

Shen Yunpei was immersed in the joy of the railway, because he could not imagine that one day the Japanese would enter China and occupy most of China, but Wang Yongan thought too much. And the reason why Wang Yongan thinks a lot is precisely because of the conservative nature of his character, and he can fight for the family business of Jiangbei Nuoda, so he is naturally unwilling to invest easily. His prudence allowed him to succeed, but it also prevented him from achieving greater success like a gambler.

After staying in Haizhou for a few days, the welcoming party continued to the north and came to Rizhao County, Shandong Province, which was dilapidated and dilapidated, and there was not even an inn for a cavalry team of 300 people.

Wang Jiaquan, the owner of Wangjiabao, was first surprised, and then ecstatic, feeling honored that the Jiangbei Protector was able to live in his house, and even secretly asked Wang Yongan's secretary Bai Dequan if he needed him to give his daughter to Wang Dashuai to sleep, he would feel honored, and his daughter would definitely make Wang Dashuai extremely happy.

Bai Dequan glanced at him and said, "Our handsome man went to propose marriage this time, and he didn't need to be accompanied." I advise Mr. Wang not to think nonsense, not all women in our family can come to us, and the woman who can make us Yunshuai fancy is afraid that there is no sunshine in the whole day. He muttered in his heart that he didn't see our handsome man taking his wife back to his hometown in Weifang, and you still sent your daughter over, are you uncomfortable.

Wang Jiaquan showed a humble smile, and said with a smile that Mr. had taught the right lesson, but in his heart, he scolded the eighteenth generation of Bai Dequan's ancestors. After returning to the room, he immediately called the second son and asked him to report to the uncle immediately, and then called the eldest son and told him to prepare some crotons and put them in the well water.

The eldest son was surprised: "Dad, drinking croton will cause diarrhea, even if those officers and soldiers offend us, but they only live for one night, and our family will have to drink their own water in the future." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, you fucking hurry." Wang Jiaquan's tone showed a fierce color, and then he admonished: "You must be careful, don't let anyone see it, especially don't let those Qing soldiers see it?" ”

"Got it." The eldest son, Wang Ping, immediately understood what his father meant, it seems that today's old father wants to eat black and kill more than 300 people. It's just that these more than 300 people are not too much, if you are not careful, the belongings that the Wang family finally took by force will be gone.
