Although Yan Guang once announced that he would build a road from Chengdu to Chongqing, not many people in Sichuan wanted to believe it, and in their opinion, the road would stop after a dozen or even three or five kilometers at most.

However, in the following year, in April 1911, when Yan Guang's company headquarters in Chengdu was officially completed, and Governor Zhao Erfeng and Governor Yu Zongtong personally congratulated them, the residents of Sichuan found that the highway had been completed for nearly 100 kilometers, that is, one-third...

In other words, it only takes three or even two years for the road to be completed.

As a result, the project, which was ridiculed by the people at the time, soon caused a sensation in Sichuan, then in China, and finally even spread to European countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

A cement concrete road with a width of 5 meters and a thickness of 20 centimeters may only be at the level of a third-class highway in later generations, but in this era when there are not even many motor vehicles, it is absolutely advanced.

Compared with the cities in Mexico that can claim to be the best road surface with asphalt pavement, Yanguang's nearly 300-kilometer-long highway can already be called a highway.

However, while Shu Bao, Declaration, News and Ta Kung Pao sent reporters to Sichuan to marvel at the Chinese-built highway, American and European newspapers were sneering.

"Designed for motor vehicles, but not for motor vehicles."

"Perfect road, it's a pity that the users are only cows and horses..."

The newspapers of Europe and the United States, while sneering, sighed for the fate of this highway, because for a long time to come, this top-notch highway will be used only by ox carts and horse-drawn carts...

At this point, even some domestic newspapers are sighing.

Such as Shu Bao, because of the geographical relationship, so you can visit this highway for the first time.

And when the reporter of Shu Bao was amazed by this highway, he also raised such a question.

"If we could have spent millions to build a road for ox carts and horse-drawn carts only, why not build more secondary roads?"

Although in a sense, Shu Bao's point of view is very reasonable, but when Yan Guang saw it, he was still angry and had a toothache.

But thanks to these reporters, Yan Guang's past was quickly unearthed. For example, more than 100 inventions of the year, for example, about the rubber stock in London, and finally the oil field in Mexico, and the cooperation with Standard Oil, and so on.

Of course, the work with Standard Oil is classified, which is something that even journalists in the United States have no way of knowing.

But even so, all of this is quite amazing when all of this is superimposed, even Zhao Erfeng and Yu Zongtong didn't expect that this very kind young man would have such a glorious history.

Especially in the Mexican oil field, after asking a few people who know better, Zhao Erfeng and the others found out that Yan Guang's net worth is at least tens of millions, and his annual income may be millions...

In other words, the benefits that Yan Guang gave them at the beginning may only be described as drizzle.

Although Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng can understand that kind of mentality that is not exposed, whenever they think that Yan Guang just gave themselves a little drizzle, that unpleasant feeling still occupies their hearts.

In fact, although he knew that it would not be long before the Road Protection Movement would break out, and he had always been very law-abiding, unless he insisted on picking a bone in the egg, there would be no problem, but Yan Guang was still worried that these two people would disgust him.

But soon, Yan Guang's problem was gone, because Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng were transferred...

Yu Zongtong aside, after Zhao Erfeng put down the rebellion in Tibetan Province, he served as the governor of Sichuan for many years, and he was also very meritorious, and the matter of this highway was very revealing, so the Manchu court decided to transfer Zhao Erfeng to the governor of Liangjiang.

Not to mention anything else, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong have all served as governors of Liangjiang, and Zhao Erfeng's own ability may not be as good as the above five, but he is definitely a capable minister, so it is appropriate to be transferred to Liangjiang.

As for Yu Zongtong, although this time it was also a flat transfer, but it was no longer transferred to the provincial capital, so although he was not promoted in rank and position, there was no longer a governor pressing on him, at least he could be a lot more comfortable...

So, before these two people had time to be disgusted, they were already about to leave Sichuan...

"Boss, good thing!" After learning that Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng were going to be transferred out of Sichuan, Song Dinghan hurriedly ran to Yan Guang's office.

"Is it the transfer of Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng?" Yan Guang, who was lying on the sofa reading the newspaper, asked without raising his head.

In this era, Yan Guang found that he seemed to have no other pastime other than reading books and newspapers.

In fact, he still wants to play mahjong with his subordinates, so he just kills time, but I don't know why his subordinates say that they don't play with him anymore...

"You already know?"

"Of course." Yan Guang took a sip of juice after putting down the newspaper. "It's a good thing, at least those two people won't trouble us, and without the two of them, there will be a lot less obstacles to rebellion in the future."

The lack of an obstacle during the revolutionary uprising was of course a reason, and more importantly, Yan Guang did not want to kill Zhao Erfeng.

In Yan Guang's view, if Zhao Erfeng had not had the bloody case in his later years, he would have relied on the ten words "There are friends from afar, who are happy" engraved in Tibetan Province, and the money below. "Zhao Erfeng, the minister of the Great Qing Dynasty, who came to survey the boundary and carved the stone...", can already be called a national hero.

"By the way, have you found out who the new governor of Sichuan is?" This is really important, if it's an ordinary guy, it's easy to say, if it's a troublesome guy...

"There is no definite news yet, but there is news that it is likely to be Zhang Renjun..."

"Zhang Renjun?" Yan Guang really hadn't heard of this person.

"It's the original Governor of Liangjiang." Song Dinghan explained. "It is said that there may be some problems during the tenure, so I will be transferred to Sichuan this time." He smiled as he spoke. "In fact, the governor of Sichuan is much more idle than the governor of Liangjiang, you must know that we have no governor in Sichuan..."

"Anyway, this person is obviously much easier to deal with than Zhao Erfeng..."Zhao Erfeng led people to quell the rebellion in Tibetan Province back then, and was called a handsome figure in the army, compared to Zhang Renjun...

At least Yan Guang hadn't heard of this person at all.
