The Governor's Mansion of the Three Eastern Provinces, formerly the Fengtian General's Mansion of the Qing Court, is now the office of Xu Shichang, the newly appointed Governor of the Three Eastern Provinces and in charge of military affairs in the Three Eastern Provinces.

Outside the governor's yamen, an errand went in to report, the carved wooden door creaked open, the errand nodded to He Tianci, and he straightened his clothes. He knocked lightly on the door and said, "Xiaguan He Tianci greets the Governor."

Inside the Governor's Yamen. Xu Shichang sat high on the top. Xu Shichang, one of the nine feudal officials of the entire Qing Dynasty, has a majesty in his gestures.

"Come in"

After coming to Fengtian, Xu Shichang was in charge of the military and political power of Fengtian, and after the Russo-Japanese War, Fengtian was in ruins, and he wanted to follow the example of the West to establish a bank, but he found that the Fengtian Machinery Manufacturing Bureau had fallen into the hands of Yifang, and most of the new factories in Fengtian were in the hands of the Zhongxing Group.

"Huchen sit down, I heard that you have set up a large number of industries in Fengtian, but is there such a thing?" Xu Shichang waved his hand.

"Lord Hui, Fengtian is in ruins, and Huchen is just doing his best."

Xu Shichang smiled slightly: "Huchen don't be modest, the revitalization of the country depends on you people of insight, the governor also intends to build a commercial port, introduce new crops, increase grain cultivation, and at the same time introduce tractors, relax grain exports, introduce Australian sheep, and encourage private capital to open factories." ”

ZTE Group not only set up its own business in Mukden, but also maintained contact with the United States and Germany, Xu Shichang also knew all this, and picked up the teacup on the desk. Said: "What do you think of these new policies of the Governor!" ”

"In the humble opinion of the following officials, the court must sweep away the accumulated evils. It is placed in the three eastern provinces. The first thing is to suppress bandits, and this bandit must be a good soldier. At present, the ability of the patrol battalion is also seen by adults, and it is necessary to reorganize and train the new army, and then develop light industry and agriculture, and then develop heavy industry when the foundation is established. The third is to appoint people on the basis of merit, and each has its own duties, which requires the recruitment of talents and talents, which is the foundation of development. ”

He Tianci talked eloquently. Carry the line of industrial salvation to lay a good foundation. If Xu Shichang is biased towards industry in policy, it will be of great benefit to his ZTE Group.

Xu Shichang put the teacup on the desk, and then smiled slightly: "The old man also has this intention, I heard that Huchen has business dealings with Germany and the United States and other state-owned countries in Fengtian, and these ideas of this governor are good to ask Huchen to have Lao Huchen to thread the needle from it!" ”

He Tianci waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency is polite, but Xia Guan has a suggestion, at present, a large number of sorghum is planted in the Northeast, and the yield of sorghum is not high. And it is easy to get sick, so Xia Guan thinks that it is better to introduce high-quality corn from Citigroup to increase grain production, and Huchen grows soybeans in large quantities in Xinmin and Jiutai. In the past two years, soybeans in Northeast China have been very competitive in the world, and Huchen suggested that adults encourage farmers along the railway line to plant soybeans in large quantities, so that transportation is convenient and agricultural taxes can be increased. ”

"Hmm." Xu Shichang nodded affirmatively. He Tianci's point of view is actually not much different from his own. It's just that He Tianci put his ideas into action. "The income of soybeans in the Northeast is indeed not to be underestimated, otherwise the Japanese would not have planted a large number of soybeans in the Lushun area. And your Zhongxing oil mill, the old man has heard about it in the capital, you are selling all the business to the northeast to the capital, good idea! ”

Under the suggestion of He Tianci, ZTE Group is not waiting for orders, but imitating the modern business promoter system, running around the country, where there is business, there is ZTE Group, and for these salesmen did not run into a business, there is a certain commission, so this is also hard work, in the two years of promotion of ZTE Group's business has been done in most of North China.

"Thank you for the compliment, but the villain also has a request that the villain set up a gun repair factory, but this employee has not been found, and I have to ask the adult to help!"

Of course, He Tianci did not dare to say that the Mukden Machinery Manufacturing Bureau had fallen into his own hands, and this is now the arsenal is established, but they are all German skilled workers, and their own employees cannot be trained for a while, so the Chinese workers of this Hanyang and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau are the best, after all, they are all Chinese and reliable.

Xu Shichang waved his hand: "Please rest assured that this Huchen has his own arrangements, Zhang Zhidong of the Hanyang Arsenal is also my old acquaintance, I will borrow a few people from him, and he still gives this thin noodles!" You can rest assured that during the New Deal, the Governor will also reduce commercial taxes and encourage private industries. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shichang stopped, and had already received news that He Tianci had cooperated with the Germans to open a mechanical technical school in the eastern suburbs of Fengtian, and still pretended not to know: "I heard that the Germans have opened a vocational and technical school in Fengtian, does Huchen know about this?" ”

Who doesn't know that this vocational and technical school is co-founded by He Tianci and the Germans, Xu Shichang is really an old fox, he has to let this matter come out of his mouth, He Tianci said: "Please also ask the adults to give sin, after Lord Zhao left, Fengtian has no owner for a while, I think that education is the most important thing for the country, and the German side is in a hurry, so the officials will deal with this matter privately."

"Good!" Xu Shichang said excitedly: "This governor also has this intention, education is the foundation of the country, now the country has canceled the imperial examination system for thousands of years, this governor has gone all the way, and found that there is no school in Fengtian at all, so this governor is ready to invest one million a year in the education of the Northeast, the establishment of the Law and Political School, the Armed Forces School, the Higher Normal School, the patrol police school and other 20 colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools to thousands, as for the technical school will have to have Lao Huchen bothered. ”

I really didn't expect this Xu Shichang to have such foresight, no wonder later generations called the Northeast New Deal Xu Shichang New Deal, He Tianci said solemnly: "The Governor is far-sighted, the lower officials admire, like this, the Northeast with vast resources will definitely take off, and the people of the three provinces will be blessed!" ”

In the parallel world, Xu Shichang did bring great changes to the Northeast, and Fengtian Province, which was once a deficit in the provincial capital, became the second only to Jiangnan and Zhili, and Fengtian was not only self-sufficient, but also responsible for filling the deficit of Rehe Province, which also provided conditions for Zhang Zuolin's rapid rise in the Northeast.

Who doesn't like to listen to compliments, this Xu Shichang listened to He Tianci's words, his heart was getting happier and happier, and he was still very sure of his ability, but the Great Qing Kingdom was also suspicious of Hanchen like him who was dedicated to the country, sighed, and said helplessly to He Tianci: "If there are good ministers, the Northeast Governor will be relieved, but where is the future of the Great Qing Dynasty?" Huchen has a good plan? ”

He Tianci knew that Xu Shichang's old Beiyang still supported the constitution, so he said confidently: "It must be constitutional." Throughout the world, the West first had the Bill of Rights of Great Britain, and then the Meiji Restoration of Japan. Great Britain was the world's largest power, and our Beiyang Fleet suffered a setback to Japan during the First Sino-Japanese War. ”

Listening to He Tianci's words, Xu Shichang stood up and laughed excitedly: "The heroes see the same thing, and the governor also looks forward to the early constitution of the imperial court and the road to a strong country!" ”

After that, he sighed and said: "But the road of revolution is absolutely undesirable, these chaotic parties only think about their own interests, and have been hiding overseas to advocate revolution, and it is these Han people who have died, but I haven't seen their group of people rushing to the front, if they are given to them in this world, I am afraid it is not as good as the Qing Dynasty, I don't know how many innocent people will die, for the top priority now is that the imperial court can establish a constitution as soon as possible." ”

At this time, the only way for China to become rich and powerful is to establish a constitution, but these Manchu nobles will never agree, they live for a day to absorb the sweat and blood of the people, so it is doomed to the demise of the Qing Dynasty, so people like Yijiao have long seen that the Qing Dynasty is about to die, so they are desperately trying to make money, which also gives themselves a chance to bribe Yihuan to let themselves reap such a big benefit in Fengtian.

"What your lord said is very true, but that's all a matter of the imperial court! He Tianci sighed and said: "Our courtiers, as long as the land of Longxing of the imperial court and the three eastern provinces are stabilized, it is the top priority, and now Japan and Russia have the intention of annexing the three provinces, and it is really difficult to be promoted without tens of thousands of new troops!" ”

Xu Shichang stroked the thick mustache, got up and sighed: "The Northeast is the north gate of the Beijing Division, and now the situation in the Northeast is grim, there is Russia in the north, and Japan that occupies Lushun is the enemy on both sides. ”

Xu Shichang went to the imperial court, selected those in the patrol battalion who were healthy and had no vices to be incorporated into the new army, and the rest of the patrol battalions were organized into patrol teams to maintain public order in the three provinces, and at the same time transferred the third town to the northeast and garrisoned Jilin, and the infantry, artillery, and horse teams were drawn from the second, fourth, and fifth towns to form two associations, all of which were controlled and dispatched by the governor.

In addition, the military affairs are of great importance, and a separate supervision and training office should be set up to expand military administration, and the judiciary should be decentralized, and the post of minister of military training outside the border should be set up to be specifically responsible for military training matters, and at the same time, he should shoulder the post of suppressing bandits in the three provinces, and be under the control of the governor, and set up a martial arts hall in the northeast to train new military non-commissioned officers.

The three provinces are vast and sparsely populated, and the policy of raising soldiers for the people must be implemented, and the veterans of the new army must stay in the northeast, and the governors will distribute the land in a unified manner, and they will serve as soldiers in wartime and serve as people in farming. Veterans were concentrated and dispatched in Jilin, Heilongjiang and other border areas to stabilize production and development at border gates. (To be continued......)
