Harpy here, painful and happy busy, daily sales are rising, Yang Yuanzhao here, also step by step, the first extraction of tungsten, has been put into the box, that is, dozens of tons, a box more than four tons, more than a dozen boxes, put in the all-in-one machine, not obvious.

The second batch of black stone arrived, more than half a day earlier than expected, Yang Guanhu appeared again, this time the amount was slightly more than 4200 tons, 200 tons more, and the number of the third batch will also increase slightly, this is because the mining area in Jiangxi, the weather has improved, and the mining efficiency has improved.

It's a pity that Jiangxi is a little far away from Baotou, in this era, most of China's mining areas can only rely on manpower, shoulder carrying, and even even mining, rarely use explosives, it is the mountain people in the mountains, a little bit of digging out, the efficiency is slow, not to mention, but also contains a lot of dangers, but unfortunately he is out of reach at this time, can only slowly plan, perhaps, the design of a set of mechanized mining equipment, will make this efficiency improve a lot.

An extra 200 tons of black stone, that is, more than a thousand, in exchange for someone else, may be a huge amount of money, for Yang Yuanzhao, this point is no longer in his eyes. Before, because of the relationship between the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and the purchase of Blackstone, a lot of money was spent, and after coming to Shanghai, he did not find a better metal to absorb, so that his pocket was shy, and now, the foreign bank has been opened, and the first batch of business has also begun, not to mention some of the projects signed, even if it is a daily retail income, it is enough to support a large amount of consumption, a committee 1888, the retail price of 70 silver dollars, plus a pistol, will sell more than 600 pieces a day, which is more than 40,000, This is not counting the new army that has roughly reached the intention, and has already paid a deposit, if those businesses are completed, it will be the sales volume on the heels.

In Yang Yuanzhao's view, Germany's trade routes, is an important aspect, tungsten can be used to open the door to Germany, especially the door of the military industry, later generations before the outbreak of World War II, Germany armed the Republic of China, the reason is a large number of resources, including tungsten, without this, with Hitler's empty eyes, how can it be possible to put backward China in the eyes.

In addition to tungsten, China has more resources, the most representative of which is the bristles, which seems to be the breeding industry, for the war, is a strategic resource, when the rifle has become the mainstream of the replenishment equipment, a good bristle gun brush, for the combat effectiveness of a troop to improve, can not be underestimated, at least in the complex environment of the battlefield, the reliability of the gun will be greatly improved.

Such strategic resources are not only acquired by Germany, but also by Britain and France, and also by a large number of countries in China. China's traditional bristles are basically divided by the major foreign banks, Yang Yuanzhao of course will not rashly touch this market, that will cause a backlash from many powers, he thought of the breeding industry, later generations of China, but pig farming, centralized breeding and the application of feed, so that pig breeding has become a common cause of the whole people, he does not have the ability to fully spread in Baotou, but the construction of several large-scale pig farms and meat factories is still possible, not only to ensure the non-staple food resources near Baotou, but also to provide a steady stream of such a specificand an indispensable strategic resource.

Yang Yuanzhao smiled bitterly, sometimes, the thinking diverged and jumping, it is really not a good thing, just like after he arrived in Baotou, he wanted to do almost anything, and he kept going, but slowly, with the more he knew, the clearer it was that things were not done overnight, and a little waiting and slowing down seemed to be better for one thing.

From February, to now, it is almost a month, and now it has entered the end of March, at the latest, it must be set off in April, it took more than a week to arrive in Baotou, and it is still in time for cotton planting.

Plastic film, urea, and some simple machines have been synthesized by the guò all-in-one machine, during this time, the all-in-one machine is doing these, plastic is not a special agricultural film, but a polymer material, used to cultivate cotton, it should be enough, Harpy also obediently according to Yang Yuanzhao's order, a few days ago, these things were sent to Baotou, it is expected that they will arrive earlier than them, at most a few more days, he will be able to leave Shanghai, back to Baotou, but Feng Yuxiang Why haven't they come yet, not to say, Will it come in a week, is there something delayed?

Unknowingly, it has been more than 10 days since he arrived in Shanghai, and in ten days, Yang Yue has done everything well, basically, Yang Yue is waiting for Yang Yuanzhao's results at this time.

Basically, the guns were mentioned by Harpy in the foreign bank, but the remaining equipment, in Yang Yuanzhao's view, is also easy to do, and it will not be placed here for the time being.

The continuous waiting made Yang Yue a little anxious, but Yang Yuanzhao was busy every day, and he was not good at asking, no, seeing Yang Yuanzhao go out again, he wanted to stop talking, but he didn't ask, the planting of cotton, the preliminary work, were handed over to Baotou, they only needed to rush back 3 days before planting, and they started planting on April 15, at this time, it was only March 20, and there was still a month to go.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuanzhao actually turned back and said to Yang Yue: "Cousin Ji, do you have any contact among the water masters!" ”

"Sailor?" Yang Yue couldn't keep up with Yang Yuanzhao's footsteps, he always felt that Yang Yuanzhao was imaginative, he was in Wuhan before, specifically for Hanyang Iron Works for a day, I heard that he had made a large number of black stone mines, and now, considering the water master, this is really a relationship that the eight poles can't beat, and was about to speak, Uncle Guang next to him suddenly said: "What are you asking the water master for?" ”

"Does Uncle Guang know the people of the water master? I heard that the Haiqi is now docked in Shanghai, and I want to go up and visit it! ”

This is just a sudden idea, when I was wandering around in Shanghai today, I passed by the military port, and looked at the land that belongs to China, docked with warships from various countries, this feeling, extremely aggrieved, just a passer-by next to him, talked about the Haiqi among the three major ships of the naval division, which was recently docked here, and he remembered that China is not without warships, and the Haiqi cruiser is also one of the more advanced light cruisers at present.

At present, with his ability, it is almost impossible to board a foreign warship, a small lightning strike ship, and there is no interest, a battleship, don't even think about it, it is better to find a domestic battleship, not to mention the naval guns, the strength of the naval guns is well known, not to mention that he has always coveted the reciprocating steam engine.

"The Seaprayer?" Uncle Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "I have dealt with the Beiyang Shipping Bureau, let me ask!" ”

"Thank you Uncle Guang!"

After Yang Yuanzhao finished speaking, he left in a hurry, at most 10 days later, he was going to leave Shanghai no matter what, but the things in Shanghai are intricate, the matter of the Haiqi is also today, when I received the goods by the river, I thought of it by chance, in this era, the peak of the representative science and technology is not a machine, but a warship, all the representatives of a country's most advanced science and technology, will be concentrated on the ship, the battleship, can definitely be called the whole world, The thing with the highest scientific and technological content, if he can board the battleship now, it will play an unimaginable role in the future industrialization of Baotou.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE ARMY'S 155 HEAVY ARTILLERY IS ALREADY CONSIDERED TO BE A VERY POWERFUL EQUIPMENT, AND THE GUNS OF MORE THAN 155 ARE GENERALLY EQUIPPED WITH STRATEGIC FORCES OR FORTRESS GUNS, BUT IN THE NAVY, AN ORDINARY CRUISER CAN HAVE A CALIBER OF 203 MM, A LARGER CALIBER OF 333, OR EVEN A GUN OF 360MM, OR EVEN 406, WHICH IS THE STANDARD CONFIGURATION OF BATTLESHIPS, THE CALIBER OF THE GUN, EVERY TIME IT IS DOUBLED, THE WEIGHT OF ITS SHELLS WILL INCREASE BY EIGHT TIMES, AND THE PROPULSION FORCE WILL BE INCREASED BY EIGHT TIMES, THE POWER OF THE SHELLS, Almost growing at a geometric level, besides, among the warships, there is also a steam engine, which is not an ordinary civilian steam engine, this is a reciprocating steam engine, at least it is also a two-axis or even four-axis linkage, this thing is definitely the cutting-edge technology of this era.

"Uncle Guang, is this thing easy to do?" Looking at the back of Yang Yuanzhao leaving in a hurry, Yang Yue said suddenly.

"It's easy to do and difficult to do, it's nothing more than money, do you know what Young Master Yang is doing during this time?"

"I don't know!" Yang Yue said that he had been running about fertilizers and seeds, and after finishing it, he was waiting to go back, Yang Yuanzhao was busy every day, looking very busy, and he didn't ask much.

Uncle Guang shook his head, although Yang Yue is the descendant of the Yang family, he has also been strictly cultivated, compared with Yang Yuanzhao, it is really compared, during this time, he is also paying attention to Yang Yuanzhao, although he doesn't know much, but he also knows that Yang Yuanzhao has a very close relationship with a foreign firm that has become very famous recently.

The Yang family is in Shanghai, the influence is not wide, but the nationwide chamber of commerce, always has its own network, some close news, reached his ears, in just one week, the transaction volume of the German-American Chamber of Commerce, almost millions of taels, you know, in this era, guns are absolutely in demand, all countries are expanding their armaments, the European war is bound to break out, this is all people with a little vision, can see, occasionally get some guns to the Far East, a small amount of money can be earned, but the batch is less.

But this German-American Chamber of Commerce, I don't know how to get it, actually got the equipment of 5 towns, and suddenly, the entire southeast governor was alarmed, and even all kinds of logistics officers, the second money, and obviously, Yang Yuanzhao has a relatively close relationship with the German-American Chamber of Commerce, his expenses are obviously much larger, the Yang family, the evaluation of him is also rising, Uncle Guang is last night, received a telegram from Yang Shitang, Yang Yuanzhao who can focus on support.

The potential power of the Yang family in China is very huge, when the Yang family is fully supported, Uncle Guang soon met the naval officials in Shanghai, and the Haiqi line, the current sailor, but different from the sailor when Li Zhongtang was there, there are only a few warships left, and the annual funds have also been greatly reduced, as long as there is money, and there are colleagues next to Guan Shu, Guang Shushun completed the initial contact.
