The voltage in Tongliao was not stable, the faint light of the tungsten lamp flickered non-stop, Saito's face was full of anxiety, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Five cents per year, five cents is not enough?" ”

He Tianci shook his head and said with a cold smile: "The Russians are talking about five percent per year, I really don't know what you think?" ”

"That's four and a half cents...... Four cents, three cents" This is the minimum we can give, seeing that He Tianci still did not react, Saito pleaded.

In fact, the annual interest rate of three cents is much cheaper than the five cents of the Russians, and the price of the Russians is also eight cents, but it was forced to be pressed down by He Tianci, and the Japanese also have no bottom in their hearts, but three cents is indeed their greatest ability to bear.

However, He Tianci is not more concerned about this, but the Japanese greed for coal mines, the right to do business in Dongmeng, which He Tianci does not care, it is not against the principle to stimulate the economic growth of Dongmeng, but if you want the mining rights of coal mines, it is absolutely not allowed, He Tianci said: "The issue of annual interest can be considered, but I am more concerned about my rights and interests in Dongmeng, and the right to mine coal mining can never be transferred." ”

Unlike Saito's anxious face, Tanaka Yoshiichi was still expressionless, but his smiling eyes and serious expression were a little incongruous.

Tanaka Yoshiichi said with a smile: "It's all negotiable, but what about our right to do business in Dongmeng?" ”

Looking at Yoshiichi Tanaka with a smile on his face, He Tianci secretly said in his heart, the smiling tiger kills people without blinking, the biggest change in this time to Tongliao Tanaka Yoshiichi is that his eyes are full of smiles all the time, looking at Tanaka Yoshiyi's smiling eyes. He Tianci always felt uncomfortable, like goosebumps on his body.

However, Tanaka Yiichi put down his face, He Tianci couldn't say it if he didn't give face, He Tianci stroked the eight-character nonsense and said: "This can be considered!" But as for these details, I think you need to go to our logistics department, Director Li Enyi. ”

Li Enyi is better at these details than He Tianci. He Tianci is only responsible for simple negotiation work, and after so many years of training, Li Enyi's Chinese-style business experience is even more incredible, and He Tianci still has confidence in this standard of Chinese businessmen.

"This ......" Saito seemed a little hesitant, originally thought that all this had been negotiated, but He Tianci actually asked him to go to Li Enyi to talk in detail, they didn't know who Li Enyi was, where to find Li Enyi.

Looking at Saito's worries. He Tianci got up and smiled slightly, patted Saito's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Saito, Mr. Li is in Taonan, what we said before is still a word, but the details are discussed in detail and the contract is signed." ”

Saito wanted to say something, but before he could say it, the surrounding Tanaka Yoshiichi was interested. After saying goodbye to He Tianci, he was ready to lead Saito away. He Tianci also arranged for Zhang Zhiming to escort the two to Li Enyi's logistics office in Taonan.

Sent away Tanaka Yoshiichi, He Tianci complained all the way to Tanaka Yoshiichi with a smile on his face. Walking towards the Tongliao Town Guard Mansion, although He Tianci was the Dongmeng Town Guard, the cumbersome affairs were assigned to the yamen of Taonan and Tongliao, and Gan Zhiming was responsible for the government affairs of Taonan and Xing'an.

Su Houwen is in charge of the government affairs of Tongliao and Chifeng, and the burden is lighter than that of Taonan. Dongmeng Town guards the embassy in Tongliao, so some of He Tianci's government affairs fall on Su Houwen.

The silver in the treasury is assigned to Su Houwen, which is also the economic lifeline of He Tianci, so He Tianci is also particularly concerned: "Brother Meng De, how many silver taels are there in the treasury?" ”

"Your Excellency. There are only 500,000 taels, and this year all the bids under the hands of the adults have been filled, and a new cavalry standard has been added, adding more than 2,000 people, plus the incorporation of militia groups in various places, the preliminary investment in the coal mines, and the investment in farmland reclamation. and the resettlement of migrants this year, this money is not enough. "Su Houwen now knows what comes and goes quickly, when he was in the Fengtian Bureau before, the income was only tens of thousands of taels a year, and on the side of the town guard embassy, it was tens of thousands of taels in minutes, and tens of millions of taels in and out in a year.

"There was a big flood in Hubei, and the court was unable to provide relief, plus Shandong, Henan didn't know how many hungry people there were, if there was no food, thousands of people would starve to death." He Tianci pondered for a moment, "You go and greet Yu Wendou and Brother Li Enyi, now start collecting grain from other places, no matter what kind of coarse grain it is, collect it first, and then talk about it, eating almost is better than starving to death, and then send someone to post a notice in the customs to recruit some hungry people, and if you want to come, pull it to Dongmeng."

"My lord, Tongliao has already made a budget of 50,000 new immigrants this year, and it is okay to add another 350,000 people, if there are more Tongliao, I am afraid I can't stand it." Su Houwen hurriedly said. "Whether it's food or housing, it can't satisfy so many people pouring in at once, and if there are really more than 100,000 people, just for food and shelter, I'm afraid it will cost millions of taels a year, where do we get so much money?" With Tongliao's current conditions, it is already relatively reluctant to accept 50,000 people a year, and another 100,000 people will have to make a big mess.

"I have a way to solve the problem of money, as long as the food can be eaten and people don't die of hunger, it's too shameful to build a red brick house where I live, and I just build a shed. First of all, to keep people from starving to death, there is no way to do it if the conditions are more difficult. "He Tianci doesn't care where the money comes from, the money of the Japanese and Russians comes up, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of people, He Tianci can also eat, it is the problem of food, accommodation, and farm tools, but it is difficult to solve, it seems that you can't really eat a fat man in one bite.

However, once the population comes up, whether it is a problem of recruitment or development, no one develops is empty talk, as long as the population on the grassland comes up and the proportion of the Han nationality is stable, the ethnic problem on the grassland can also be easily solved, and the exchanges between the Mongolians and the Han people can be more promoted, so that the Mongolians can be more adapted to the way of life of the Han people.

"My lord, this is forty or fifty thousand people, what can you do if you get them to Tongliao?" Su Houwen asked, it is impossible for Dongmeng to spend four or five million taels a year to raise some idlers, otherwise it is impossible for Dongmeng to afford it, and I am afraid that the imperial court is not willing to spend this unjust money.

After all, Su Houwen is a conservative official, and his vision is limited, he doesn't think about the benefits brought by these immigrants in the Guannai, but he is right, although there is barren land in the Northeast, but the officials are not willing to spend money to support these refugees, and a large amount of fertile land has become a borderless land, so it is called the Great Northern Wilderness.

"Road construction, now Dongmeng produces a lot of things, it is becoming more and more troublesome to transport out, and the transportation cost is also high, the railway does not need to think about it for the time being, building two roads, it can also greatly speed up the capacity of Dongmeng's cargo throughput, and the ash plant will increase horsepower, expand production, and make every effort to meet the needs of Dongmeng's construction and road construction." There are pros and cons to everything, although pulling more than 100,000 immigrants over, just eating and drinking Lazar is a daily number, but so many people are not cheap labor?

Although the pastures are abundant under the rule of Dongmeng, there are a large number of horse farms, but at this time most of the carriages have not been equipped with rubber tires, it is very troublesome to transport the goods out, if it is not for the Zhongxing Group to build a horse factory, now there are 1,000 horses, the transportation capacity is sufficient, the wool spinning, shoemaking, and winery on the grassland is impossible to develop so fast.

The highway from Tongliao to Taonan has greatly shortened the time of round-trip, alleviated the loss of goods in the middle of the way, and the problem of time, if possible, directly build a road from Taonan to Changchun, or to Harbin, so that the development of Taonan can be faster.

With the addition of the Yuwendou Chamber of Commerce, the trade between Tongliao, Zhengjiatun and Fengtian has also been further increased, once the Tongfeng Highway is completed, it will greatly shorten the communication between the Northeast and Dongmeng, if the funds are abundant, it can be considered to build the highway from Chifeng to Tongliao, so that the East Mongolia under their rule can be completely connected with the Northeast inland.

First, to promote the economic development of the grassland and the northeast, and secondly, after all, Fengtian is the center of the three eastern provinces, so that the east and the northeast are connected together, so that He Tianci can send troops in time in the east of Mongolia, although there is a horse farm in his hands, and the Mongolian war horses in the horse farm are enough to equip his own soldiers in a town, but after the highway is established, the time for transporting troops has been greatly shortened.

This is a typical cash-for-work scheme, most of these immigrants in the pass are young and middle-aged, not only to build roads, but to reclaim wasteland, in a few years have brought benefits to Dongmeng, but can not be calculated in millions, these young and strong force with a little training, is a soldier, if it is really a year to recruit more than 100,000 immigrants, a few years down Dongmeng can be close to a million people, eleven proportion of recruiting soldiers, can also have 100,000 troops.

In addition, most of the immigrants are young and middle-aged, and they can consider directly establishing a development corps, and a barren area like Dongmeng is suitable for the development corps, and it is not a problem to cooperate with the regular troops to guard Dongmeng, and they can also go to the regular army to free up their hands to deal with various disputes.

The stormy and turbulent times are coming, and if there are enough troops, He Tianci can go straight to Fengtian and control the center of the three provinces.

"Okay, as long as the adults solve the problem of money, the lowly position will be cleared." Su Houwen gritted his teeth, he was a prudent character, but if He Tianci could really solve the problem of money, it would indeed be a major opportunity for Dongmeng.

"I'll have to go to the Governor for this and get his support." In the end, He Tianci thought about it, if you don't talk to Xiliang about such a big matter, it can't be justified, the immigration of more than 100,000 people at a time is not common in the Qing Dynasty, and when others can't ask about it, Xiliang doesn't know anything.
