Chapter 4 Theory

"Theories or anything aside, what about the people who stole the railroad tracks caught this time?" Lin Mengchu asked: "Do you want to hang them all according to the standards of the British?" ”

“....... It's too cruel," Chen Cheng said, "Besides, we didn't say before that we weren't allowed to pull the rails." It's always not good to write "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info punish without teaching, forget it this time, explain it to them first, if there is a repeat offense, then it will never be forgiven. ”

"Whatever you want. By the way, it's only been a few days since the railroad tracks were stolen, how did it get detected so quickly? ”

"Oh, you ask this. Because the steel used to cast the rails is so good, it is difficult for those blacksmith shops in the folk to make other utensils, and it is not easy to hide such a large rail, so ......."

"Haha, he's sad that he's a bunch of stupid thieves."

"It can't be said to be a stupid thief, ordinary people are like this, and it's normal to want to take advantage of it." Chen Cheng said seriously: "As long as they know the seriousness of the matter, I think such things will be greatly reduced in the future." ”

"Well, I'll just listen to what you say. By the way, didn't you say that the railway would be overhauled in the next two years? ”

"Yes, if you don't fix the railroad, you can't turn the whole north into a whole." The young man smiled and said: "If you want to get rich, build roads first, this is a wise saying." ”

"Then why don't you see a plan to build a railway to Cullen? Do you think Mongolia is not China's own? ”

"Well, I didn't think so. Mongolia is also a sacred and inseparable part of China. However, building a railroad over there was a real loss. Not to mention the difficulty factor, the population over there is too small, and after repairing it, except for the military value, everything else is at a loss. ”

"Homeland security is also a kind of interest."

"That being said," Chen Cheng spread his hands, "with all the money and energy, we might as well build the railway to Henan." If we can drive the train directly to Shangqiu and Luoyang, our manpower will become abundant. ”

"Then repair it, and no one will stop you."

"No money, no one," Chen Cheng said helplessly: "There is only so much budget every year, and we can only spend our limited funds on the most critical places." Besides, what we need is high-quality talent, at least after graduating from primary school. If only coolies were needed, things would be much easier. ”

"We can't look for foreigners..... Can't you ask me to borrow money? I remember that the great powers have been very fond of playing capital export in recent years, right? ”

"Oh, that's right." Chen Cheng straightened his fingers, "The Russians are poor, and he himself has to live on French funds, let alone invest abroad." The Japanese are not yet a great power, and even if they later become a member of the great powers, they will still be a poor imperialism. ”

"British....... Where our credibility with the British has become negative. Yuan Shikai borrowed six million pounds from others, and then left a mess and ran away. Naturally, we will not pay these debts, six million pounds, which is not a small amount, and the British probably will not lend us money until this money is repaid. But if we have such a large sum of money, why should we borrow money from the British? ”

"The Germans, the Italians, and the small European powers are willing to lend us money, but they all have to attach a lot of political conditions." Speaking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Chen Cheng's face, "They really think too much, thinking that this is still the time of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"So that's just France and the United States?" Lin Mengchu said: "The strength of these two countries is not bad, and they also have a lot of funds in their hands, why don't you ask them to borrow money?" ”

"Well, that's exactly what I mean." The young man pondered for a moment and said: "The introduction of foreign capital is not a problem, even if there is some public backlash, it can be suppressed......"

"So what's the problem? Is it because we have any scruples? ”

"There are some concerns, we are now strong in the middle. It looks majestic, but the vitality has been consumed a lot. And our opponents, inside and out, are difficult characters to deal with. I'm wondering whether to wipe out a few of them first, or whether to complete the first five-year plan as originally thought. ”

"Of course, we will complete the first five-year plan first, so what else is there to consider?"

"Hmm, the problem is that Yang Hongsen in the south is developing too fast. Moreover, their geographical environment is much better than ours, and from the perspective of development potential, the integrated south will become a very formidable enemy. ”

"Will it get strong?" Lin Mengchu frowned, and then stretched his brows again, "It's a powerful enemy, it's interesting to fight!" What's the fun of just bullying weak chickens? Besides, could it be that their technology will develop faster than ours? Or will their industrial output be higher than ours? ”

"It's mainly a matter of strategic posture....... Forget it," Chen Cheng shrugged, "then it's better to complete the five-year plan first." However, the money of the Americans and the French is not so easy to get. If you take other people's money, people will always have all kinds of requirements. ”

"It doesn't matter. We let them invest money in it, it is based on mutual benefit, it is based on the idea of win-win, this is to give them the opportunity to make money. Those foreigners, will they give up the opportunity to make money? ”

"That's a good and reasonable...... Chen Cheng said: "It's a pity that the current countries are not completely interested in interests. Sometimes, people fight for a lot of messy reasons. ”

"Really?"

“..... Fake. Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Well, this is not the time of the Middle Ages to like to fight religious wars. Even if there are still some places where there are wars for various other reasons, the big hooligans are fighting for land and money, and they can be regarded as things of profit anyway. ”

"Isn't that what it takes? Have you ever heard of reform and opening up? Lin Mengchu said: "Regardless of his black cat and white cat, he is a good cat if he can catch a mouse." ”

"Black and white cat theory again? Tianzun's counterattack is very inspiring, but it seems that you didn't like Tianzun's set very much before, right? ”

"Wordy!" The girl's eyes narrowed, "We do things, of course, we use what is useful." We need to choose theories based on facts, rather than turning them over and relying on theories to revise facts. ”

"Do you rely purely on your own instincts?" Chen Cheng nodded, "Probably others can't play this trick." For ordinary, normal human beings, having a clear theoretical guide will reduce a lot of confusion. (To be continued.) )
