At present, the Wuyang and Bozhou regions have been slowly recovering and developing, and various orders have been re-established.

These areas are high-yield agricultural areas, with vast plains, which are already conducive to agricultural production, coupled with the vigorous support of Han Zheng, today's autumn harvest, although the first year's agricultural tax reduction and exemption has ended, but the amount of tax collected is still greatly reduced compared with before.

And other places that have just arrived, also at the beginning of this year, Han Zheng announced a one-year tax reduction, the same tax exemption for one year to recuperate, restore the production capacity of various places, all localities can use this year's tax exemption preferences, in order to restore the production of this grain producing area, as for those who do not even have grain seeds, Han Zheng even took the initiative to provide grain seeds to help several places through the most difficult period

Time flies very quickly, after more than a year of development, the effect of Vortex Yang has begun to be replicated and staged in various ways, and several places under the command of Han Zheng have begun to show the effectiveness of these measures.

At the same time, the factories set up by Han Zheng everywhere began to continuously purchase crops and recruit workers, and the most direct feeling to the local farmers was that they now had a surplus in their hands for the first time, their purchasing power had increased, and they could buy more and more things.

Due to the loose policy and preferential taxation here, some light industries along the river have begun to slowly move here, although there is not much change, but everything has begun to develop in a good direction.

In particular, the industry of Bengbu is developing rapidly, due to the developed transportation here, after Han Zheng just occupied this place to restore order, it began to become Sun Zhongwu's preferred target, and under his drive, some visionary, risk-taking national capital also began to settle here, which also indirectly promoted Han Zheng's control over this area to strengthen and local stability, and this place soon became the second largest light industry settlement under the control of Han Zheng.

Around the area from Wuyang to Bengbu, those densely populated areas, there will always be some factories and facilities under construction, and the light industry has initially formed a trend of industrial clusters here, and what Han Zheng has to do now is to take care of this trend, continue to develop, and then complete the cluster.

In terms of heavy industry, the main thing is still the development of the military industry, and for some time the number of production lines for rifles has increased to five, and the number of bullet production lines has also increased to seven, and the damage of shells and cannons has been able to repair itself.

And on the basis of these facilities, Han Zheng established the first ordnance institute, that is, the Northern Anhui Ordnance Institute!

The most important thing is that after the Huaibei area was occupied by Han Zheng, it has begun to increase its development efforts, and the coal resources here have laid a good energy foundation for the development of the military industry and some light industries.

Locally, most areas have gradually formed a relatively sound administrative system, isolated from the military, especially after Han Zheng increased investment in education, this progress has been more rapid.

Someone once asked Han Zheng how he was so relieved to put his territory in the hands of others, but he was separating the military and the government, so that once there was a problem below, it would directly lead to the collapse of the army, and Han Zheng just laughed and said nothing.

It wasn't until a period of time later that a northern Anhui Republican Party suddenly appeared out of thin air in the area controlled by North Anhui and South Korea, and this newly established political party was Han Zheng as the chairman of the political party, and the main responsibilities were usually handled by ** Yu and Mr. Zhang, and the main personnel inside were all from the local school that had just graduated this year and some other intellectuals who were absorbed into Han Zheng's command and local national capitalists.

In a short period of time, with the covert support of Han Zheng, the party has grown to more than 100 people so far, and under Han Zheng's instructions, it has spread to other places controlled by Han Zheng.

With the rise of industry and the recovery and development of agriculture, Han Zheng now rarely allocates funds to the local government from the money bags of the patrol envoys, and the military and local finances have begun to slowly separate, all of which indicate that Han Zheng's strength and ambition are rapidly expanding.

With the development of these measures and the attention of Han Zheng from the outside, many aspiring young people began to converge here, and this corner of the entire northern Anhui has officially fallen into a good circle.

These things have been secretly dealt with since January this year, and until now they have begun to bear fruit, and taking advantage of this rare leisure time, these things have been sorted out again, which can be regarded as a temporary merit consummation

On August 27, Han Zheng met with a guest from Shanghai in his office, who still came with Li Yiru, and had also come to Wuyang in the past, that is, half a year ago, he sent Han Zheng a rifle production line free of charge, and the American comprador Xu Shirong.

For the arrival of the other party this time, Han Zheng can also guess their purpose, after all, this person once said that the last time he sent the production line was to make a friend, and at this time, it is estimated that he began to seek cooperation as a friend.

Han Zheng and this person talked very happily, and in the end, it was finalized that this person once again provided a rifle production line for the First Division of Northern Anhui at a low price, and at the same time, in order to show friendship, Wei Han Zheng provided a low-interest loan of one million US dollars for the development of northern Anhui, of course, this low-interest loan is a matter on the surface, and the loan is not interest-free in secret.

Finally, after Han Zheng's bargaining, Han Zheng again used the loan from their foreign bank to buy some mechanical production lines and large mining facility machinery, which would be personally sent by the American foreign bank in Shanghai to prevent accidents.

And the other side's conditions are also clear, all loans must be made to purchase American goods, and at the same time, in the future, South Korea will give priority to the United States in the purchase of arms by the first division, and of course, there will still be preferential treatment in terms of price.

The second condition is that American companies should have the right to be protected in South Korea, and the right of Americans to develop and build factories here should be safeguarded, and at the same time, other countries' investment in this place should be restricted, and even American companies should be given preferential tax exemptions here.

In this way, the true purpose of the United States began to be revealed.

At this point, Han Zheng showed due embarrassment in a timely manner, when the other party increased the bargaining chips again, Han Zheng nodded and agreed, there has been a great man in the future who has made a good example for him, and he will naturally not worry, of course, in order to protect the development of domestic enterprises, there will still be inclined to protect domestic enterprises, these are also tacit things for both sides, there is no need to take it out.

What the United States wants is for itself to dominate here and expand its influence in China, and of course it also wants to try to prop up its own proxies.

The two talked for a long time and finalized a lot of things that were not known to outsiders, and then sent the foreign comprador out of the embassy to inspect the embassy, Han Zheng was secretly happy that this Mr. Xu Shirong was secretly happy that he had not come in vain, and Han Zheng was also secretly happy in his heart that he had not spent half a day dealing with this matter in vain.

It wasn't until this person gradually walked away that Han Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this situation is bigger, more and more people will be contacted in the future, and the various interests to deal with will become more and more complicated, and of course, there will be more and more opportunities for himself.

He believes that the opportunity for his development has officially started from here, and from then on, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds are flying! (To be continued.) )
