The transaction of millions of taels of silver, coupled with the various preparations for the construction of a shipyard and a rifle factory, there are too many people involved and related, and Yang Xingguo can't keep it a secret even if he wants to. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the Japanese got the news, they made a decision that they could not let the equipment fall into the hands of the Liaodong Army under any circumstances.

Once the Liaodong Army has the ability to build ships and produce rifles, the overall strength of the Liaodong Army will certainly increase greatly. Coupled with the abundant population resources of the Great Qing Dynasty, the Liaodong Army will be expanded as much as it wants, which will definitely cause many problems for the future elimination of the Liaodong Army of the Empire, and even bring heavy casualties to the Imperial Army.

The first thing that comes to the mind of the Japanese government, which is always the number one naval force in Asia, is to dispatch its navy to intercept and directly intercept this batch of machinery and equipment.

But when the Japanese learned that all the machinery and equipment were escorted by German troops throughout the process.

In order not to offend Germany, a newly rising enemy country, the Japanese government immediately abandoned this idea.

In the end, Japan decided to send a large number of intelligence agents and some elite troops from the Manchurian Army to infiltrate the three eastern provinces. After all the equipment was out of German protection, blow up the machinery on land.

Because the Liaodong Army had just taken the three northeastern provinces, the main forces were busy expanding their troops, and after occupying all the county towns in the three eastern provinces, all kinds of military operations of the Liaodong Army stopped.

As for the villages and towns below and the bandits hiding in the mountains, unless the four main armies of the Liaodong Army are reorganized, there will be no troops to occupy and clear these places.

Because of this loophole, the elite 500 Japanese troops drawn from the Manchurian Army easily infiltrated the three eastern provinces and contacted their own intelligence officers.

Yang Xingguo did not know about this conspiracy against machinery and equipment.

After the expansion of the army was handed over to Sun Liechen, chief of staff, under the repeated requests of his wife Yan Bing, Yang Xingguo had to spare a day to help Yan Bing perfect the three ideas he put forward last time.

"Xingguo, there are not many distilleries in the entire Mukden territory, and most of the wineries produced are high-spirits. But these spirits are sold to the surrounding people. Although there were quite a few Russians in the city who bought and drank it, the number was very small. As far as I know, many Russians drink only vodka as a spirit. The spirits we make are not very popular, despite their high alcohol content. ”

Seeing the anxious expression on his wife's face, Yang Xingguo couldn't help but show a heartbroken expression.

didn't answer Yan Bing's question, but asked with a worried face: "Will it be too hard, Lao Huang has raised you to this position, and I am afraid that your body will not be able to stand it!" ”

Yan Bing first shook his head, then nodded, and finally replied: "Hard work is hard work, but you know, I like to do things, and I don't want to stay at home and be the governor's wife." ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Bing hurriedly stared at Yang Xingguo and asked, "You don't want me to do things outside, do you?" At the beginning, you promised me that no matter how high your position is, you can't stop me from doing things! ”

Yang Xingguo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Where do you want to go, I'm just worried that you're too tired." ”

Speaking of which, he didn't wait for Yan Bing to refuse, and directly decided in a non-negotiable tone: "When this time is over, help Lao Huang build a few factories, you don't have to worry about so many things, take a good rest for a while, there is a big thing we need to do?" ”

Yan Bing first showed a disappointed expression, then his eyes lit up, and he asked with an expectant face: "What's the big deal?" ”

Yang Xingguo said with a mysterious face: "Didn't you notice that your father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't even care about business during this time and often ran home?" ”

"It's because my father and mother miss me, so they often come to see me, which is normal. What, is there a problem? Yan Bing was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a look of incomprehension.

Yang Xingguo walked directly behind Yan Bing and suddenly hugged her. Then he leaned into her ear and whispered back: "Silly girl, thinking of you is just one aspect, they often come here for a purpose, to supervise us!" ”

Because this is the office, Yan Bing, who was hugged by Yang Xingguo, subconsciously moved, wanting Yang Xingguo to let go.

After feeling that Yang Xingguo didn't have any intention of letting go, he gave up directly. Yan Bing, who was afraid that someone would come in at this time, hurriedly blushed and asked, "Spy on us, why?" There's no reason for that! ”

"For a reason, of course!" Yang Xingguo, who hugged Yan Bing tightly, immediately replied.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law want to hug our grandson, and seeing that we haven't moved for so long, they are in a hurry, so they come to the Governor's Mansion every day to monitor us to see if there is something wrong with us!"

"Ahh Yan Bing, whose face was flushed, couldn't help but exclaim. Then he asked in a low voice to Yang Xingguo.

"Could it be that the big thing you just said is to have a baby!"

After getting Yan Bing's affirmative answer, although Yan Bing was very embarrassed, he finally agreed by default.

"Then it's decided!" Yang Xingguo, who was worried about Yan Bing's disagreement just now, also became happy.

After kissing Yan Bing in his arms fiercely, Yang Xingguo immediately let go of Yan Bing, who was already flushed.

"Since you agreed, then let's quickly solve the few major matters at hand, and rest for a while after that. Of course, I still let Lao Huang keep your position, but let Lao Huang arrange a few more deputies for you and arrange less things. Even if there is something, you let the deputy do it. ”

Yan Bing, who breathed a long sigh of relief, returned to the expression of a strong woman as soon as she talked about business.

"Xingguo, you haven't told me how to sell the spirits we brew to the Russians. If it weren't for Russia, we wouldn't have dared to build a distillery. ”

In order to let Yan Bing rest early, Yang Xingguo also fought hard and replied directly: "Doesn't Lao Maozi like Volga, then we will brew Volga." Even if you can't make Volga, you have to make a spirit that tastes similar to Volga. ”

"Also, the Russians in Mukden don't drink the spirits we brew, because Mukden City has an abundance of daily necessities and low prices, and they can buy vodka. But in the Russian Far East, and even in Russian Moscow, conditions are not so good. Because of the intensification of various contradictions in Russia, the price of grain has skyrocketed, and many people cannot even buy food, let alone the liquor they can't live without. ”

"I'm sure that as long as we send imitation vodka spirits to Moscow, they will be in short supply, causing the Russians to rush them. When the time comes, we will be able to earn a steady stream of silver from the Russians with spirits. ”

Yan Bing was first excited by Yang Xingguo's words, but within a few seconds, Yan Bing's face showed a worried expression again.

Yang Xingguo smiled and asked, "Do you want to make a spirit similar to the taste of vodka?" The release husband is ready for you, and there are just a few Russians who can make vodka in his hand, and they have all brought you them. With them, even if you make real vodka, it's no problem. “”
