Chapter 88: Yang Lang admonishes Li Yu

Compared with Liu Bei's luck, Sun Jian seemed more obscure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The most prosperous place in Jingzhou is Jingbei, that is, Nanyang County, Nanjun County and Jiangxia County. As for the four places of Jingnan Wuling County, Changsha County, Guiyang County and Lingling County, except for Changsha County, there is almost no difference from birds not pooping. Not to mention that Wuling and Linglingman have also rebelled more than once over the years, which has further caused the people's livelihood in these two places to wither.

As the Xiahou brothers' troops were stationed in Changsha and Guiyang County to counter Li Yu's Republic forces, Sun Jian's original troops were somewhat restrained. On this basis, he changed from a soil emperor to an ordinary taishou.

It is said that it is naturally best to transfer from a military attache to a civilian official, or even a county taishou. But Sun Jian saw through it, now that the world is unstable, the three families of Shu Han, the Republic of Dahan and the Republic of Huaxia will definitely fight in the future. In this war to decide who is the master of China, if he has no strength at all, he can easily become a victim.

Sun Jian also came over with strong winds and waves, so he was naturally unwilling to remain dull. It's just that the cultural relics team of the three countries has been formed, and there is no shortage of him at all. In the end, after thinking about it, Sun Jian figured it out, and left on the same day, and went south to take refuge in Liu Yan.

Liu Yan is a member of the royal family, but he did not say which country he joined. Here in Jiaozhou, like the Emperor of the Soil, he maintains neutrality. Anyway, in his opinion, Li Yu didn't dare to deal with him, otherwise he would easily be attacked by Liu Wei and Liu Xie.

In the end, the Huaxia Republic is too young, and it is not supported and recognized by the family, and it will definitely be defeated by Liu Xie or Liu Wei. As for whether it is Liu Xie or Liu Wei in the end, the real unification of the world, with his status as the emperor's uncle, is he still afraid that his two nephews will embarrass him?

Besides, this Jiaozhou was originally a wild place, and there were not many Han people, more of them were planned to be in the Nanban Mountains or something. On the contrary, the huge border needs to be guarded by more troops, and in general it is a place that is slightly worse than chicken ribs.

He didn't think that Li Yu and Liu Wei would give up the prosperous place in the north for the sake of this place where birds don't.

As a result, I didn't expect that someone really fell in love with this, Sun Jian came to defect with three thousand Jiangdong children, Liu Yan was surprised and was also very happy, but at the same time he was a little vigilant, this Sun Jian was too shou of Changsha, but he would rather come to this place where birds don't, is there any attempt to fail?

Who knew that when Sun Jian came to him, he directly ceded the military power to Liu Yan, and there were three thousand more troops out of thin air, of course Liu Yan was happy, it is rare that these are still fierce soldiers from Danyang in Jiangdong, and it is not so easy for others to want five hundred Danyang soldiers as cronies.

Sun Jian was so knowledgeable, Liu Yan naturally reciprocated the favor, named him Nanyang Taishou, and gave him the power to recruit soldiers independently, but the number could not exceed 10,000. In fact, as far as Nanhai County is concerned, it is not enough to recruit 3,000 Nanban or Shanyue, and if there are more, they may not be able to afford it!

But what Sun Jian wanted was this power, so he naturally gladly accepted the order, took Han Dang and Sun Jing, and went directly to Nanhai County to take office. Then these two subordinates helped to quickly rein in the local power and appease the people. Even learn from the Chinese Republic, advocating equal treatment, as long as it is sinicized, after two generations, it will be the real Han people, and there will no longer be a distinction between Huayi.

In this way, a group of people from Shanyue and Nanban have been gathered, making Nanhai County a little more vibrant and prosperous.

There are almost no Han people in Jiaozhou who are willing to come over, and Liu Yan is only a Shixie under Liu Yan, so he is here and serves as a position in Jiaozhou. As for the rest, it's basically the team he brought from Youzhou.

At this point, Sun Jian has a little chance to emerge, otherwise if he continues to be in Changsha, neither Wang Rui nor Liu Wei will be afraid of his existence, and he will not get any benefit from taking refuge in Liu Bian, at least not too much.

It's good now, it's a little remote, it's like the existence of the soil emperor, and if you work hard in the future, you may not be able to go further.

Time passed little by little, until May 190 AD, Li Yu initially completed the digestion of the four counties of Yangzhou, and built three direct express lanes, and the ring road was also built one-tenth.

On the construction company's side, with the increase in the number of constructions, the engineering proficiency is also improving, similar to this ring road project, they can already do three to four teams, divided into three or four directions at the same time, the speed of construction has also gone up.

The second railroad was laid, and three wooden railways were laid.

The second railway is mainly a direct railway from Taoyuan County to Jiangcheng County in the north of Danyang County, passing through Jing County, Wanling, Liyang, Moling and Hushu, and finally arriving in Jiangcheng County. This is arguably the longest railroad of its time, unless the Republic builds a longer railroad to break this record.

As for the other two wooden railways, they are from the hometown to Wu County, Yuqian to Shanyin, and Qianxian to Poyang. It is impossible to accommodate twenty-ton carriages on wooden rails, but one or two tons is still fine, and at most a few more carriages are hung to alleviate the problem of volume.

However, the sleepers were laid in full accordance with the requirements of the railway, with the aim of changing them to railways in the future, if conditions permitted. Through the laying of these three wooden railways, the Republic's control over Yuzhang County, Wu County, Danyang County and Huiji County was strengthened. The key is that if there is a war on the front line, it can also arrive at Jiangcheng as soon as possible to meet the battle.

At this point, the finances are already starting to get a little tired. Fortunately, the bank was also established, and after Li Yu called for higher interest on deposits, with his reputation, many people were suddenly attracted to save their family's spare money, and there were not a few regular ones.

With money comes natural mortgages, student loans, start-up loans, home loans, and other payments. Of course, the interest rate is higher than that of deposits, or even more than twice that of deposits, but it is much lower than those loans from the private sector.

In recent years, there may not be any private loans, but there is no doubt that the interest rate is high, and the interest rate has also occurred from time to time. The imperial court planned to rectify it, but this thing itself was controlled by the family, and it was also those people who pitted it, so not to mention that the intensity of the attack could not keep up, and no one dared to stand up and say something.

The Huaxia Social Welfare Bureau was also established, and three donations were initially launched, namely: poverty alleviation donations, education donations and disaster relief donations. Corresponding to the civil behavior of poverty alleviation, school resumption and post-disaster relief.

Of course, in fact, there will be people in the welfare bureau who will invest this money and then earn more money to ensure the operation and development of the welfare society. Since the welfare bureau is also a government agency, it is inevitable that government affairs and finances will be open, and officials will naturally be held accountable for corruption and dereliction of duty.

In any case, there are still funds that have been put in place, and donations can be made by name or bearer, and there is no requirement for purely voluntary acts. Rich people certainly don't mind brushing up on their reputations, more or less casually. People who don't have money won't feel embarrassed when they don't have money to donate. Those who donate money can also learn where and where people have been helped through the openness of government affairs, and their hearts are also comfortable.

Many people can be said to have directly experienced the feeling of 'reaching the world and helping the world'! The point is that the government presides over social donations, and there is no need to worry about others using this thing to make money or incite the division of the rich.

Since the beginning of this year, the republic has been in a state of almost constant spending, and in the end it has expanded its territory several times. It will take several years for the original area to be developed, and it will certainly not be possible to develop the new area overnight.

In the end, Li Yu's proposal was passed and passed by the congress, and the issuance of treasury bonds officially began, and with Li Yu's popularity, naturally many people subscribed. The people who can be creditors to the state and subscribe to the national bonds also have a very strange feeling in their hearts.

On the one hand, I am worried about whether this is a bit inappropriate, or I should donate to the country; On the one hand, looking at the interest rate is also quite high, which is higher than the interest rate of bank fixed deposits, and the key is to be a creditor to the country, and I am a little excited.

With the money, Li Yu planned to directly develop modern muskets, even larger-caliber artillery, and even the steam engine and steam locomotive, as well as the train.

Who knew that it had just been proposed at the People's Congress, but he didn't want Yang Lang to be the first to stand up and oppose it: "I object, you are too anxious, and it is not a good thing for Huaxia to continue to develop!" ”

Li Yu has been constantly developing various technologies, and as long as the technology has just been improved to this level, he will immediately come up with new technologies for researchers to understand. For a long time, researchers have spent almost all of their time in the process of thoroughly eating drawings and techniques, and even disassembling physical objects, and have never studied in the real sense.

At first, he didn't feel anything, but Yang Lang still felt that this was not good. After all, in the nature of a researcher defined by Li Yu, it should be the existence of researching and solving problems, creating and innovating technologies. But now it seems that Li Yu does not regard them as real researchers at all, and in the eyes of them, they are simply a group of workers who are constantly understanding technology.

So, he had to stand up, even if he would offend Li Yu, he had to put forward his own opinion.

"Although the earlier technology has been developed, the various costs have not been reduced, so every time you build some, it means that it costs a lot of money. With the advent of newer technology, the cost of manufacturing will also be higher, taking this artillery as an example, researchers and workers have worked hard to make only a few qualified products, and even the shells are sky-high!

If we continue to study, we are afraid that the state finances will exceed the standard load, which will eventually affect the investment in other fields, and even lead to the bankruptcy of the country.

Moreover, a powerful weapon can indeed have greater power. Artillery, for example, can make sieges more convenient, and even has great lethality against collective charges, not to mention the flintlock muskets that have been researched, their destructive power is even more terrifying. But here's the problem, they're terrifying!

It must be known that the battles that took place on the land of China were basically civil wars, and everyone was a Chinese compatriot, although their thoughts and concepts were different, but they all had the same blood. Although the knives, guns and sticks are rough, they can always control the strength, but the muskets and artillery are ruthless, and one shot and one cannon are definitely one or dozens of lives, and if they continue to develop, it will be even more unimaginable!

Führer, we are a civil war, weapons and equipment at this stage are already very terrible, and even more terrible exists, in the case of considering the cost reduction, a small amount of research is good! Yang Lang said solemnly.

This statement has also been recognized by many people, especially with the existence of Yuan Jian who is in charge of finance, and even Guan Ning, the president of the bank, who can't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.

In the final voting stage, more than two-thirds of the people approved of Yang Lang's behavior. It can be seen that everyone is indeed worried that Li Yu will continue to spend money indiscriminately. This result also made Li Yu helpless, and finally had to stop expanding the investment in scientific research funds...... (To be continued.) )

PS: As I've said before, I don't like a perfect protagonist because it's a little less fleshy. So he will also make mistakes, he will be aggressive, and he also needs others to persuade him and stop him.

In the end, I still kneel and beg for subscriptions, recommendations and collections!
