"If Brother Congwen is willing to fund the construction of this railway, Brother Fool will naturally not be able to ask for it, there is no way to meet this fund, and in the future, Brother Wen will never be dragged back in terms of manpower."

Yang Hucheng said solemnly, Yang Hucheng has a high opinion of Jiang Li's character, if Jiang Li really has such a sum of money, not to mention anything else, if tens of millions of dollars are smashed on the expansion of the army, he can immediately pull out a few divisions of troops, the original 15th Route Army has more troops than his 17th Route Army, and a few more divisions are expanded, which is almost a multiple of the 17th Route Army. But Jiang Li was willing to spend his money on such a thankless thing as building a railway. But the purpose is for the convenience of the anti-Japanese war. No matter how stupid Yang Hucheng is, he would not think that Jiang Li would spend such a big price in order to plot against Shaanxi, Gansu to the Central Plains, and even further east is indeed a long and difficult road, but the distance to Xi'an is not that difficult.

"Okay, then it's a word, in the future, the weapons produced by the Lanzhou Arsenal will be given to Brother Yang at a 20% discount!"

Jiang Li was overjoyed when he heard this, it was really Yang Hucheng, there must be no truth under the fame, Shaanxi's financial resources are indeed limited, after all, not everyone has emptied Fengtian's savings like him, and he has also obtained two batches of gold, large and small. Shaanxi's foundation is far worse than that of Fengtian. As long as Yang Hucheng agrees, Jiang Li will be able to build this lifeline to the east with all his might, and it will also be the lifeline of the 15th Route Army to resist Japan in the future.

"Brother Fool is also a soldier of the Republic of China, and he knows the severity. Dao is grateful to Brother Congwen for the supply of ordnance in the future. Yang Hucheng thanked Jiang Li.

"No need, the so-called courtesy to others, there must be something to ask for. There is another thing that can only be done with Brother Yang's permission. ”

"Brother Congwen has anything to say, just say it. It's not a gentleman's doing. Yang Hucheng pretended to be angry and said.

"Haha. Okay, Brother Yang is a cheerful person, I can say whatever I have. It's for the matter of Shaanxi Yanchang Oil Factory, I don't know how much profit Yanchang Oil Factory can give Brother Yang a year, I spend 10% more, Brother Yang will Yanchang Oil Factory, the rights and interests of the oil mine give me okay? Jiang Li said with a laugh.

"Extend the oil mine? It's not in my hands, it's for a few businessmen who don't have a good reputation. If Brother Congwen needs it, I will send someone to say hello and ask for it from others. Yang Hucheng said, it's not a big deal.

"No, no, Brother Yang, people at our level have to pay attention to the rules when they do things, Yanchang Oil Mine is someone else's source of wealth, unless the people over there deserve it, otherwise let my people buy it at the market price, if it is a bad reputation." It's not easy to talk about business with other people in the future. Jiang Li shook his head and said.

"Oh, it's a trifle. But why does Brother Congwen care so much about Yanchang Oil Mine? Yang Hucheng asked with interest, if he just refined some foreign oil to sell Yang Hucheng, he didn't believe that Jiang Li's eyelids would be so shallow, and the other party would dare to throw tens of millions of dollars out if he built a railway, and would he make a special trip to talk to him for such a small oil mine?

"The low capacity of Yanchang oil mine is due to the illegal exploitation and the lack of adequate equipment. After solving these problems, the production capacity can still be improved. Since it is an oil mine, of course, it is used to refine diesel and gasoline. I have imported a batch of equipment from the United States, and I have brought more than 20 planes from Mukden, and those things can not be turned on without gasoline, and aviation gasoline can still be imported from foreigners, and in the future, when we fight with the Japanese army, the eastern passage will be cut off by the Japanese, and we must not let those planes that have been bought back at a great price become scrap copper and rotten iron. There is also oil on the side of Yumen Pass, but it is too far away for the time being, and there are still some talents on the side of Yanchang Oil Factory, which is relatively convenient to use. ”

Jiang Li said truthfully that if he wants to cooperate with Yang Hucheng for a long time in the future, it is better to tell the truth in some aspects, so as not to leave a bad impression on Yang Hucheng's heart.

"No problem, this matter is wrapped up in the foolish brother." Yang Hucheng nodded, and his understanding of Jiang Li was a little more, when the warlords in other provinces were fighting with each other and scraping the land, Jiang Li was already making a lot of preparations for the War of Resistance, building railways, rebuilding arsenals, and setting up oil factories, each of which was closely related to the war, and the opportunity was always given to those who were prepared, Yang Hucheng also carefully studied Jiang Li's war with the Japanese army in Fengtian City, no wonder Jiang Li was able to achieve such a brilliant record, which made everyone staggering, and Jiang Li's efforts behind the scenes were unimaginable to ordinary people.

"This Jiang Li made a special trip from Lanzhou to Xi'an, you said it wasn't just to throw money outside, right?" After the meeting with Jiang Li ended, Yang Hucheng called his chief of staff, Wang Yishan, over to help him with his staff.

"The commander of these parties agreed?" Wang Yishan asked.

"Except for the joint establishment of the Northwest Bank with Gansu and the unified issuance of currency, most of them agreed." Yang Hucheng nodded and said.

"On the whole, what Jiang Li proposed is not harmful to the chairman, and it is okay to agree. As for the unified issuance of currency, it really needs to be carefully considered. I also heard that Lanzhou is now building a lot of construction, what is going to rebuild Northeastern University, but also to rebuild the arsenal, and even many industrial factories have entered Tianshui, Longnan area, during this time, many foreigners have crossed from Xi'an, but also rushed to Lanzhou, it seems that Jiang Li does not have any ideas about Shaanxi for the time being. Wang Yishan said in agreement, even if the geological survey is carried out in Shaanxi, what mines are to be mined, it is also for Shaanxi to increase income, right?

"Since Jiang Li has no malicious intent for the time being, do you think I should withdraw Sun Weiru?" Yang Hucheng asked.

"I don't think there is a need to move for the time being, put Sun Weiru in Lanzhou, and solve it in Lanzhou, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on the chairman." Wang Yishan frowned.

Yang Hucheng smiled knowingly, Wang Yishan's stinginess was well-known in the 17th Route Army, and it was strange that he could agree to this matter. However, cooperation is cooperation, and the interests that should be fought for still have to be sought, and there is really no need to withdraw Sun Weiru for the time being.

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, with its wide flat meadows, wide roads, and winding creeks covered with a light layer of snow, spring in the north always comes later than usual.

"The endless white, I have regained the familiar feeling I had at the beginning." After leaving Cambridge City for many years, Zeng Yijing, Wang Xiaofeng, and Zhu Jiaren all graduated from here, and looking at this familiar and unfamiliar scene, several people were a little stunned.

"I didn't expect to have another moment to set foot here, it's really a shame, it's a pity that Ba Yunhua, if he is still alive, I'm afraid he will be ecstatic about this opportunity that he has always dreamed of." Wang Xiaofeng said with embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
