At the beginning of April, under the order of Du Shihui, most of the eliminated bandits were arranged to live in the peninsula area, they were unwilling to leave their homeland to go to the Xia Empire, only a small number of evil bandits felt that it was not safe to stay in the Liaodong Peninsula, and even one day they would meet their former enemies, so they made up their minds to immigrate to the southern region of the Lelang Peninsula to farm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The recruited bandit soldiers, a total of 120,000 people, went to Dalian and Dandong for training according to the infantry and cavalry, respectively, because they were worried that they would do evil in the Great Qing Dynasty, and second, to facilitate the supply of logistics materials; After the initial training, these people will be integrated into the army, and then they will be led by their respective officers to continue the training; Du Shihui plans to form 5 infantry brigades of mercenaries, 3 cavalry brigades of mercenaries, and 2 garrison divisions from these people, and the 20,000 people eliminated will either go to agriculture or become workers in the peninsula region.

All bandit officers were also sent to the military academy for a period of three months.

As soon as the bandits were busy, the personnel in charge of economic construction and the transport ship of some light industrial equipment arrived at the port of Dalian, and the next step of the work will be transferred to economic construction.

Nearly 100 industrial and mining projects aided by the Xia Empire, worth more than 40 million taels of silver, in order to raise sufficient funds, it is impossible to accomplish the task by relying solely on loans, under the suggestion of Du Shihui, first set up flour mills, oil mills, textile mills, printing and dyeing factories, garment factories, match factories, soap factories, small machinery factories and wood processing factories, etc., and after normal operation, they will immediately be auctioned for the whole country. Then use the money to run steel mills, power plants, expand coal mines, iron mines, copper mines, build railways and docks, etc., and this will create a virtuous circle.

After careful consideration and reporting to Yuan Shikai for approval, Xu Shichang began to implement Du Shihui's suggestion.

The first enterprises to achieve results were the coal mines in Fushun and Tieling, which only recruited some workers and began to mine coal and sell coal to the outside world, which produced good economic benefits.

The second is the railway left by the Japanese, the railway from Shenyang to Dalian and Dandong, after simple maintenance, can operate normally and produce benefits, but most of this part of the profits was taken away by Du Shihui, Xu Shichang can only profit from the railway income from Shenyang to Changchun and the income from the railway from Shenyang to Guannai, but this has made Xu Shichang and Yuan Shikai very satisfied, as for the other enterprises left by the Japanese, after the auction, half of the Xia Empire, this part of the proceeds was used to expand the army.

The power plants left by the Japanese in Shenyang, Fushun and Tieling were inspected, and there was locally produced coal, which began to generate electricity in the shortest possible time, although the power was not large, but it was more than enough to satisfy those small workshop-style factories.

For those light industrial factories, the most time-consuming is to build a plant, as long as the plant is built, it will not take long to install machinery and equipment; In addition, it is a worker who is recruited in advance, and the classification training begins after the arrival of the technician; As long as these factories are built well, they will soon be able to produce products and create benefits.

According to the plan of the technical personnel, large-scale coal mines, large-scale power plants, ash plants, copper mining and copper smelters, coking plants, iron ore mining and iron and steel plants, military factories, and hardware factories will be built in Tieling, Fuxin, and Fushun, so as to make full use of the advantages of local resources and build Fengtian Province into the largest heavy industry base in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Shenyang Coal Mine, Fushun Coal Mine, Tiefa Coal Mine, Beipiao Coal Mine, Fuxin Coal Mine, Fushun Iron Mine, Chaoyang Iron Mine, Fushun Hongtoushan Copper Mine, Huludao Lead-Zinc Mine, Hongtoushan Gold Mine, Hongtoushan Silver Mine, and the corresponding Fushun Iron and Steel Plant, Fushun Copper Smelter, Fushun Coking Plant, Shenyang Military Factory, Refractory Brick Factory and several ash factories were established. As long as these large-scale mines and factories are under the direct jurisdiction of the border administrative region, other small mines, such as kaolin, ceramic clay, bentonite, perlite, quartz mines, small coal mines, small iron mines, etc., are ready to be sold after construction to earn development funds.

As for oil, natural gas, molybdenum, manganese, etc., it is not yet the time to exploit them, and they are not included in the planning.

At the same time of construction in various places, it has led to the development of the national industry in the entire Northeast China, and large and small factories and workshops in many industries such as brick and tile factories, wood processing factories, breweries, restaurants, carriage and horse shops, tailor shops, blacksmith shops, gold and silver processing, oil extraction, transportation, money villages, pawnshops, etc., have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

According to the estimation of Xu Shichang and others, just by selling this small mine and factory, they can get tens of millions of taels of silver, which can fully make up for the expenses of importing these equipment and building factories from the Xia Empire

At the same time, they admired the Xia Empire even more, and with casual assistance, they could build Fengtian Province into a heavy industry base in the country, and it was a circular development, and the use of funds was not much, and it also led to the development of other industries in the entire Fengtian region, and the people's lives would be richer.

In order to facilitate the transportation of grain and industrial products in Northeast China, the technicians of the Xia Empire planned a railway connecting Dashiqiao to Yingkou and Panjin to Yingkou, and expanded Yingkou Port, making Yingkou Port the largest business port in Northeast China except Dalian Port.

Now Xu Shichang is busy and happy, he has been in politics for so many years, and finally found a suitable position for himself, here, he works wholeheartedly, no one comes to restrict him, as long as an agreement is reached with the Xia Empire, he will start to implement, absolutely no one dares to drag his feet, and no one dares to disobey Yin and Yang, seeing a change in Fengtian Province every day, he seems to be more than 10 years younger.

Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Zhili regions were reluctant to leave their homeland and immigrate to the Xia Empire, and families who could not survive began to migrate to Fengtian Province in an organized and large-scale manner.

Xu Shichang was busy arranging land, housing, farm tools, food and seeds for immigrants all day long, and also arranged for the construction of primary schools, middle schools, and various technical schools in various counties and cities, recruiting teachers, or contacting the senior staff of the Xia Empire in Fengtian to let the Xia Empire send all kinds of teachers.

Issuing approvals to all kinds of factories and approving land for the construction of factories.

At the same time, it is recruiting managers who understand economics, technology, production, etc. from all over the country, and the gap still needs to be dispatched by the Xia Empire.

Busy with strengthening the construction of government departments, the tax bureau, the port authority, the railway bureau, the finance bureau, and the industrial and commercial bureau were set up separately.

The country's intellectuals and national entrepreneurs began to migrate to the northeast, and the whole of Fengtian became the place where the Qing Dynasty developed the most rapidly, and according to the current speed of development, the northeast region will become the industrial base and economic center of the Qing Dynasty in a few years.

After Xu Shichang and others' calculations, after these factories were all operational, the taxes of Fengtian Province and the profits of the enterprises directly under the central government could feed hundreds of thousands of troops, which completely relieved Yuan Shikai's worries.
