Hearing Yang Yuanzhao's words, the people below couldn't say a word, especially those sitting on the rostrum, looking at Yang Yuanzhao with wide eyes, taking their fate into their own hands, isn't it **, but for more than a year, almost two years, I haven't seen Yang Yuanzhao have any connection and good feelings about the party.

**Party, Yang Yuanzhao never thought that ** could save China, in the history of later generations, what did that time two years later create, is it democracy, no, it is to make China miss the best 20 years of opportunity, and in the end, it was a mess.

If Yang Yuanzhao wants to **, as early as more than a year ago, when he just came to Baotou, he could pull up a team and carry out **, with the help of an all-in-one machine, some light weapons, and even some heavy weapons and ammunition, can be copied with an all-in-one machine, he can pull up a huge team at any time to compete with the Qing court for the world, but in this way, can old China, without a complete industrial base, without a strong industrial production capacity, China is still in chaos, but because of war and turmoil, Let China give birth to a group of careerists.

From silence, to dumbfounded, to buzzing, there was some chaos below, and in the end, it was Hou Jinsheng on the rostrum who asked: "Yuan Zhao, are you really not going to **?" ”

"No, I won't **, do you think I look like a **party?"

Yang Yuanzhao's words made everyone think deeply, since many years ago, the slogans and personnel of the first class have been all over the land of China, every once in a while, there will even be one or two uprisings, which have not affected the Baotou side, but those who are here, that is not a well-informed person who has traveled from south to north, those **party leaders, are very Manchu corrupt, oppressed by foreign countries, and the democratic republic is the road to save the country, in short, what is said is better than what is sung, but there are few people who do practical things in a down-to-earth manner, on the contrary, Yang Yuanzhao, From the moment he came to Baotou, he leaned down, from the agricultural manpower, after winning the trust of many large businessmen, this was step by step, and Baotou developed into what it is now, in this sense, he should not be the first party, but why did he say that.

Liu Shu had a headache, he didn't expect that Yang Yuanzhao announced this here without consulting anyone, and said to Yang Yuanzhao with a wry smile: "Yuanzhao, what do you want to do!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "Yes, I'm just going to control Baotou in our hands!" ”

"Isn't that bad now?" Liu Shu said.

"Not good, the current development of Baotou has been in a very critical stage, before it was already full of problems, if there is no unified manager to co-ordinate, there will be a series of problems in the future!" Yang Yuanzhao asked rhetorically: "Although the chaos before has been alleviated because of the appearance of the chengguan, now there are more and more problems!" ”

Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking, as the actual controller of Baotou at present, as well as the leader of the chengguan team, the emergence of chengguan, solved most of the problems, Baotou's dirty and messy environment has also been solved, under the dual combination of the household registration system and the worker system, for most of the residents of the city, there is a clear jurisdiction, which has played a positive role, just when Liu Shu felt that he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the problem gradually complicated, and there were more deep-seated problems.

Liu Shu, the direct participant, did not speak, and the others did not have a position to speak, especially several permanent shareholders, they all sent competent personnel to help, among the 2,000 urban management team, they sent personnel to occupy a large proportion, and it is clear that the problems in Baotou are not less, but more, and even closer to the critical point.

The shareholders have thought deeply, especially those Jin merchants, as Jin merchants, have always been the object of central suppression, when the Qing Dynasty was founded, the group of Jin merchants who were named imperial merchants, they became more salt merchants, rarely developed in Shanxi, and several emperors, when they had no money, how much would think of Jin merchants, which is also the reason why Jin merchants did not have much sense of existence in the late Qing Dynasty, at least in the center, there was no reliable force to advocate and escort them.

Jin merchants can develop in the rugged situation, the vision is very keen, from the traditional business and business, to enter the field of ticket numbers, Shanxi's ticket number, almost occupies half of China's ticket number, from this point, you can see the potential and vision of this group. As everyone's head of the family and the big landlord, they are very aware of the current situation, the Qing court from 1900, the end of the thought has been revealed, when the Empress Dowager Cixi declared war on the world, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, only the army in the north can be relied on, and even Yuan Shikai, who later held the military power independently, did not contribute, but excluded dissidents, weakened the Wuwei Army and other forces, and the Beiyang family was dominant, and even the Wuwei Army, Shenji Battalion and other troops had to be merged into the Beiyang Army, So far, Beiyang is dominant.

Even at the end of last year, when Xuantong ascended the throne, the regent began to suppress Yuan Shikai without success, Yuan Shikai's foundation has been completed, and the Qing court did not even dare to risk the disapproval of the world, kill Yuan Shikai, take away the Beiyang Army, and can only slowly figure it out, but even if the image of the end of the world is fully revealed, but when Yang Yuanzhao put this in front of them, it was more or less surprising and difficult for them to choose.

"No preparation at all, too suddenly!"

"Suddenly?" Yang Yuanzhao smiled calmly and said, "You haven't calculated how much wealth Baotou has!" ”

For example, not to mention the cotton textile mill that has made countless orders, the machine qì manufacturing plant that has signed countless orders, and the steel mill that has not really gained income, now 12 of the 16 blast furnaces have been put into operation, and the daily steel has reached more than 12,000 tons, with an annual production capacity of more than 4 million tons, even if half of the rails are given to build the railway, the remaining steel and iron are enough to recover the investment within a few years, in this sense, From the moment the steel plant was built, the value of the steel plant has appreciated, and even once the steel plant project is released, you can get hundreds of millions of yuan of loans from banks in various countries, and the steel plant is worth this amount.

It's just a steel plant, it's so amazing, not to mention how many industries Baotou has, since last year, the development of Baotou is getting faster and faster, steel mills, textile mills, machine factories, cement plants, four major projects, as well as a huge cluster of power plants, the funds involved, almost more than tens of millions of pounds, the output value and total amount are even higher than this, this is definitely not a small amount of money, once exposed, what will the Qing court do, the Xinchou Treaty, has already bankrupted the weak finances of the Qing court, they can't wait to look around for money, What will happen if such a big fat meat falls into the eyes of the Qing court. No one wants to lose their wealth, for more than a year, there have been only a small amount of dividends, and the rest has been put on expansion, and everyone can see what is growing, which is why it is difficult to choose.

The status quo was mercilessly placed in front of everyone by Yang Yuanzhao, everyone was dumbfounded, and they were definitely unwilling to give up what they had in hand, that is to say, since Yang Yuanzhao began to build an industry in Baotou, they naturally stood on the opposite side of the center, but the light industry such as the cotton textile factory was easy to do, and the left and right were only worth a few million, and the Jin merchants plus the power of the Hou family and other big landlords could also cover and disguise, but when this cake was made bigger and bigger, when it came to the current Cheng dù, There is no need to think about it at all, the Qing court, which is already extremely short of money, and even Yuan Shikai, who was ousted by the regent, will be tempted and pounce directly.

The people sitting on the rostrum frowned, they didn't expect that they were tied up by Yang Yuanzhao, they are all powerful people in all directions, and they have no die-hard good feelings for the Qing court, the war and the reparations 10 years ago, basically, the loyalty of the people, especially the elites, was completely squandered, and the signing of the Southeast Mutual Insurance, a certain Cheng dù, is a sign that the local real power faction is separated from the center, and they are not too disgusted with their own destiny, but they are cautious Jin merchants, Considering more is whether they can control it, once this control is not good, it will be known by the center, maybe it will be very troublesome.

Some smart, suddenly thought of the 54 mixed compilation association, as a businessman, to be exact, Liu Shu was born in the literati, most of the Jin merchants, have also read, there is no good color for the soldiers, the Qing Dynasty is not as strong as the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military are still distinct.

At this time, in this place where the influence of the center is relatively weak, it seems that the 54 Mixed Editorial Association has become a huge force, but this 54 Mixed Editorial Association, almost all of them are controlled in the hands of Yang Yuanzhao, just look at the strict guards, you know that the people here don't know much about the 54 Mixed Editorial Association, but they know that this is a powerful force with 12,000 people, which is almost equivalent to a strong force to strengthen the town, it seems that Beiyang should have, he has it, what will be the combat effectiveness of this unit, and whether Baotou can be kept.

Finally, a clever Jin merchant began to ask: "President Yang seems to have an idea, if we are known by the central government, will we be besieged, the strength of Beiyang is obvious to all, and has even been praised by the great powers!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao has never underestimated Beiyang, he was able to get the greatest benefit in the tide two years later, almost occupying the entire Beiyang of China, how much power they have, he knows very well, but he also knows that at this moment, he must go all the way, he looked at Feng Yuxiang in the audience, Feng Yuxiang nodded at him, his confidence suddenly became full, and said to the people below: "Yes, but don't be afraid, now I will introduce you to everyone, I think everyone is familiar with it, General Feng Yuxiang, the commander of our 54 Mixed Formation Association, let him introduce the military strength of Baotou. ”R1152
