The work efficiency of the submarine mining truck is amazing, and the base has a seabed mineral distribution map sorted out by later generations, and the mining truck only needs to follow the distribution map to the nearest mine truck production area for mining, and Lu Yi reported that the mining truck returned three days later. In these three days, Lu Liang went out to inspect once, because there was no defensive force, so he just walked around, but the news he got from the passers-by was enough to digest, and according to these news, Lu Liang made a preliminary plan.

It is now the 26th year of Guangxu, that is, in May 1900, and the place where the base is located belongs to the seaside 30 kilometers south of Haifeng County, Guangdong Province. Lu Liang did not have enough historical knowledge, but the things recorded in the base were sufficient. In 1900, the land of China was wandering in the abyss of suffering, and had not yet found a way out of its predicament. The Wuxu reform failed, and the Qing court was offering a reward of 100,000 taels of silver to hunt down Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao; In a few days, the Boxers will be stationed in Beijing, and the Eight-Nation Coalition composed of Britain, the United States, France, and Germany will be on their way, and they will soon capture Beijing and force the Qing court to sign the Xinchou Treaty; Internationally, the German Reich was sharpening its knives and preparing to open up the land under the sun, and Britain was deeply involved in the Boer War, which was about to be devastated by the Boer guerrilla warfare. Not to mention, in Guangdong, Li Hongzhang, the first person in modern China, served as the governor of Liangguang, and he would fight the black with heavy fists, and then he would go to Beijing to negotiate with the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Of course, Lu Liang kept these shames in his heart and waited to get them back in the future, but the most important thing now is to start his own business. The energy base is activated, and the production base is started after the mining vehicles unload the gold and silver minerals, and the minerals are processed into universal silver dollars, of course, the silver content is not too high, but it is a little higher than the currency commonly used in the outside world.

What is surprising is that the mining truck pulled back 500 tons of minerals at a time, and finally made a total of 50,000 silver dollars, Lu Liang felt that it was so easy to make money for the first time, which would be the foundation of his start here.

With money, it is not enough, Lu Liang ordered the base to produce five genetic people, one of whom is a blonde foreigner, in this era it is necessary to have a foreigner as a talisman, although it is a little sad, and the other four are set to be used as bodyguards by soldiers. The miner mined some of the silver ore and some associated ore, and three days later the miner made another trip, using the material base to produce six revolvers for protection.

After the preparations for going out were completed, Lu Liang ordered the base to be fully operational, the energy base to be activated, and the raw materials collected by the first mining vehicle were used to produce mining vehicles, and when the mining vehicles were sufficient, they began to produce enough weapons and equipment for a company. After that, the production task is building materials and textile processing equipment, and sponge textile will be the first industry to start in this world.

On the street of Haifeng County, Lu Liang and his party attracted the attention of many people, not caused by clothes, they all changed into robes produced by the base, but the blonde and blue-eyed Lu Ertai attracted attention. Haifeng is not a remote countryside, and there are many foreigners over the years, but after seeing foreigners, I still feel rare.

Lu Liang also looked at the pedestrians of this era, most of them were slumped, their eyes numb, they represented the current situation of the country, dull and lifeless, like old people lying in bed waiting for death. There are a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and it is still prosperous, and Lu Liang even saw foreigners who came to do business, and in Guangdong, the western forces have penetrated into every corner, looting everything.

Their destination was the county office, and after inquiring, several people went straight there, and the messenger guarding the gate of the county government saw the high-spirited Lu Er and did not dare to stop him, "This is a foreign lord from the United States, come to visit the county master, there is something important to discuss, hurry up and report!" Lu Liang said to the officer, and the officer immediately turned around and ran to report, this should be placed in normal times, and if you don't show some benefits, you will definitely not see the county master.

Haifeng County ordered Liu Ning to wear the official hat on his head for less than five months, this is also a rich place, every month there will be tribute from all over the place, the following things are handled by the officials, and their small life is not too leisurely. I didn't expect to get a report today, a foreign lord with a few subordinates came to visit, the old men in the palace don't quite understand, they have been officials in Guangdong for decades, but they know that this foreign lord is powerful, if something happens, his official hat will definitely not be able to keep! Hurry up and get dressed up, and let the subordinates lead you to the living room.

"This official is Liu Ning, the commander of Haifeng County, please sit down and serve tea! I wonder what you're here for? Liu Ning put his hand in his hand, his posture was very low, Lu Liang was a little surprised, is this foreigner so powerful on the ground in Guangdong? Doesn't it mean that after the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Joint Bureau, foreigners have become unscrupulous? The information is wrong, but Lu Liang is happy to see this kind of scene, which is more helpful to himself.

"Mr. Liu, this is Mr. George from the United States, he came to Haifeng County to inspect the construction of the factory on behalf of the American Ambrera Company, my name is Lu Liang, and I am Mr. George's translator." Lu Liang sat down on Lu Er's hand and said to Liu Ning opposite.

Liu Ning didn't care about Lu Liang's rudeness, and was a little embarrassed in his heart: "Mr. George, there is no charter in the court for foreigners to set up factories here, and it is not easy for us to call the shots here." He was well-informed, and knew that the attitude towards foreigners in Beijing had changed, and his friend in the household department wrote to him that the boxers were powerful, and Lafayette wanted to test the attitude of foreigners through them, and he couldn't afford to cause trouble in this situation.

After listening to Lu Liang's translation, Lu Er stood up and glared at Liu Ning angrily, and said a foreign language in a loud voice, which scared Liu Ning County Master a lot. Lu Liang hurriedly persuaded Lu Er to do a full set of acts. "Lord Liu, this matter was decided by Mr. George, it cannot be changed, the constitution of the imperial court has not been decided, we can temporarily build a factory in my name, you can rest assured, the benefits are indispensable to yours, Mr. George has no opinion on these." After speaking, Lu Liang handed over a silver ticket, which was the silver ticket that was exchanged at the ticket house before, 50,000 silver dollars were left for backup, and the remaining 40,000 silver dollars were all exchanged for silver tickets.

Liu Ning's eyes were good, and after a glance, it turned out to be a silver ticket of three thousand taels. After all these years as an official, he finally climbed to the throne of the county lord, and most of the net worth he had accumulated before was taken out to buy an official, and he only received more than 3,000 taels of respect after sitting in the position of the county order for a few months, but he didn't expect that there would be so much at this time! Liu Ning is not a timid person, and it can be said that it is Mr. Lu Liang's industry to trace it. Three thousand taels, why don't you do it?

Seeing Liu Ning's expression, Lu Liang knew that the matter was done, smiled and put the silver ticket on the table, and said: "We need workers to build a factory, and when the time comes, please take care of one or two when recruiting people under Lord Liu's jurisdiction, and the taxes paid after completion are definitely not less than a penny, which is Lord Liu's political achievements." ”

Liu Ning's eyes became brighter and brighter, obviously moved, and inadvertently received the silver ticket into his arms, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu Liang built a factory and contributed to Haifeng, of course the official supports it, you can rest assured, the official guarantees that your affairs will not stand a little obstacle." ”

"Thank you, Lord Liu, Mr. George is very satisfied, let's come to Japan for a long time, and move around more in the future!" Lu Liang's words couldn't be clearer, and Liu Ning sent a few people out with a smile.

After the official matter was settled, the next step was to buy land, recruit workers, and build factories. The land near the base is all owned by a large landowner named Wu Shimin. This person is the most powerful and powerful squire in Haifeng, owning more than 5,000 tilts of land, the county seat and Huizhou Mansion have industries, and even in Guangzhou City, there is a cotton cloth shop, specializing in cotton cloth bought from foreigners, and then marketing all over Guangdong. Wu Shimin can be said to be a glance at Jiuding in Haifeng, and the second person who needs to be visited by Lu Liang is him.
