The palace of the prince of Tongliao.
Because Tongliao City has been occupied by Baiyinda for a long time, Tongliao Yamen is now just a ruin, so this He Tianci turned the gorgeous palace into his own office.
"Brother Jianhou, Brother Meng De, if you don't come again, I'm going to make a special trip to invite you." He Tianci smiled and said to the two middle-aged men in their early thirties in front of him.
Luo Zhongchen said with a smile: "Lord Commander's words are not true, I'm afraid I want Brother Meng De a little more." ”
Luo Zhongchen, the word Jianhou
In 1902, the Ding family established Guangpingfu Middle School (in present-day Hebei Province) and invited Luo to teach. A year later, Ding Jiali reorganized the Baoding Higher School and hired Luo to teach in Baoding. In 1905, Ding Jiali was in charge of Beiyang's official expenses to stay in the United States, and he sent Luo Zhongchen to the United States at official expenses. In 1906, Luo Zhongchen went to the United States and entered the Department of Civil Engineering of Cornell University.
Su Houwen, the word Mengde, Guangxu 30 years of Jinshi, a small official in the Fengtian Li Gold Bureau, with outstanding talents, Gan Zhiming recommended him.
Originally, He Tianci was going to plan to let He Tianci temporarily put down the things in Taonan and concentrate on dealing with the dilapidated Tongliao City, but although Taonan has settled down, after all, it is the autumn harvest season, and the household registration policy of Taonan has just been completed, and Gan Zhiming is also busy managing Taonan's taxes, so he recommended his old acquaintance Su Houwen.
He Tianci snorted and said, "It's all the same, Brother Meng De, in the future, the political and civil affairs of Tongliao will be handed over to you." ”
Su Houwen solemnly saluted He Tianci and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”
He Tianci said with a smile: "Don't be so serious, Brother Meng De is going to take office today, I don't know what I think about the government affairs of Tongliao." ”
Su Houwen knew that this was an exam question given by He Tian. Although Tongliao City is dilapidated, after all, it is a commercial town between Mongolia and Fengtian, and if you want to reuse him, He Tianci naturally has to take the test, so he said: "My subordinates think that there are five points, one." Encourage trade between Mongolia and Han, second, encourage the establishment of factories, third, improve the police system for adults, fourth, encourage people of all ethnic groups such as Mongolia and Han to register and settle here, and fifth, assist the Jianhou brother to build a new highway. If you want to develop Tongliao City. Article 5 is a top priority. After speaking, Su Houwen glanced at Luo Zhongchen with a smile.
It seems that this Su Houwen has made a lot of preparations in advance, and it is worthy of being introduced by Gan Zhiming, the two of them speak in the same tone, they are indeed talents, He Tianci nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Luo Zhongchen: "I plan to build a highway from Tongliao to Fengtian, I know that this matter is a big fortune for Brother Jianhou, but Huchen has limited funds in his hands after all." Please forgive me. ”
Of course, He Tianci also wanted to build the railway, but this 1910 can be counted with his fingers. The nationalization of the commercial railway is getting closer and closer, but He Tianci does not want to take this risk, and at present, He Tianci is also preparing to build a factory in Tongliao City, which requires a lot of money.
"But even if it is a road, it will cost three or four hundred thousand taels of silver. Can the current Tongliao City be taken out? In addition, a large amount of ash and other substances are also indispensable. Luo Zhongchen was obviously a little worried in his heart, and asked He Tianci.
It seems that this Luo Zhongchen really doesn't know anything about himself, and he can't afford to repair the railway, but with the financial resources of ZTE Group. It's no problem to build more than a dozen roads, He Tianci smiled slightly: "This brother is too worried, although there is no ash factory in Tongliao, there are already two ash factories in the nearby Taonan City, and I am ready to build the factory of Zhongxing Group in Tongliao, this ash factory must be indispensable." ”
"Is the ZTE Group in charge of adults?" Luo Zhongchen was surprised, the business of ZTE Group has long been done in Hebei, and Luo Zhongchen has also heard of ZTE Group after returning to China.
He Tianci nodded slightly: "Yes, so it shouldn't be a problem for my ZTE Group to build a road." ”
"That's good. Being able to build a highway for the country has also made a contribution, and now most officials have tried their best to collect the people's fat and ointment, but the adults can spend three or four hundred thousand taels to build the road in one go, which is really courageous. Luo Zhongchen sincerely said to He Tianci.
He Tianci smiled and said nothing, in fact, He Tianci is not so great, when the time comes, the money for road repair will still be recovered through the toll booth, although the ZTE Group has tens of millions of income every year, but a large number of new projects are launched every year, these tens of millions say that although this is a lot, the various inputs are added together, plus the army is a gold-swallowing monster, this money will not be spent.
"By the way, does Brother Jianhou know the sages of geology? Now there are many foreigners in the Northeast who often haunt here, and the Japanese have even established the South Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., which covets the mineral deposits in Northeast China. He Tianci asked hopefully, this German is unreliable after all, since he has the ability to mine his own mineral deposits, why let the Germans get a piece of the pie, if he can get his own survey talents, this northeast land is full of mineral deposits.
Luo Zhongchen pondered for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, Chen Xiaobo is a good friend, proficient in geology, and serves as a teacher in Jiaozuo Road Mining School (the earliest modern mining institution of higher learning established in China), so he can't be separated." ”
He Tianci said: "Learning in the classroom is better than on-the-spot teaching, Chen Jiaoxi can take students to investigate and teach at the same time, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation in the middle are all under the bottom, and soldiers can also be sent to protect them." Of course, Huchen is just suggesting, and it depends on Chen Jiaoxi how to decide. ”
Luo Zhongchen said with a smile: "With such favorable conditions and the ability to safeguard national sovereignty, if Chen Xiaobo doesn't agree, he will read so many books in vain." But adults can't favor one over the other, can you also bring some students over when the road is being built? ”
"Welcome. Huchen is a martial artist, he can only give appropriate help in material aspects, and the rest depends on Brother Jianhou who is full of learning, and each battalion in the eleventh town has a radio station, and Brother Jianhou can directly use the radio to inform the students and Chen Jiaoxi. He Tianci turned to Su Houwen with a smile and said, "Brother Meng De, when the time comes, what needs do these students and teachers have to meet as much as possible." ”
"Yes, sir." Su Houwen is also a reader, and He Tianci's respect for readers also makes Su Houwen feel comfortable.
"So, thank you." Luo Zhongchen smiled on his face and said deeply to He Tianci.
He Tianci hurriedly helped the other party up.
After that, the communication between the grassland and Fengtian will depend on this architectural talent, and if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which is the basis for the development of the grassland. (To be continued......)
