In the evening, Cui Jingluo and Bai Yuncheng found Wang Jundao and reported: "Commander, we have captured a lot this time. ”

"Huh? Let's talk about it. Wang Jundao said with great interest.

Bai Yuncheng said with great interest: "There are more than 500 rifles, more than 50 pistols, and countless bullets, of course, these guns can't be compared to our Mauser guns. There are countless swords, guns, halberds, bows and arrows, needless to say, after all, the cold weapons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are still very powerful (there is no doubt about this). ”

Cui Jingluo continued: "The property of those corrupt officials, landlords, street tyrants, and bad merchants that we have copied has exceeded more than 3.6 million taels of silver according to the current statistics, of which the prefect of Tai'an alone has a full 330,000 taels of silver!" ”

"There are more than 200,000 taels of gold, antique treasures, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which are difficult to estimate, in addition to grain, clothing, silk, cotton, gauze, salt and iron, etc., countless others, which have not been counted for the time being, but the value will definitely not be less than 200,000 taels of gold."

"Well, as the saying goes, wealth is in the people, and the wealth of the people is often concentrated in the hands of a few." Wang Jundao nodded and asked, "What about the treasury of the government and the county government?" ”

"Well, this is not a lot, only more than 60,000 taels of silver, more than 2,000 taels of gold, 500,000 catties of grain, and the rest of the materials are worth about 1,000 taels of gold." Bai Yuncheng said.

"Well, that's pretty good." Wang Jundao nodded and said: "Uncle Bai, those things in the treasury, except for gold, you have full authority to take over, in the future, the military and the government will account for half, and those things obtained by raiding the house, one million taels of silver will be allocated to the army, which will be used to expand the army and raise the army, and one million taels will be allocated to the treasury of Tai'an Mansion for various administrative expenses, grain, clothing, silk, cotton, salt and iron and other materials will be opened by the military and government, and the rest of the gold, silver, antiques, treasures, calligraphy and paintings, etc., will be handed over to Lao Cui, and he will deal with it." ”

"Yes." Bai Yuncheng naturally didn't have any problems, nodded and said.

Gold is of great use, if Wang Jundao wants to open a bank and establish a huge financial industry, it will definitely not work without gold reserves, so he will not spend gold unless it is absolutely necessary.

Of the 3.6 million taels of silver that was stolen from the family, in addition to 2 million for military and political affairs, the remaining 1.6 million taels of silver were handed over to Cui Jingluo, so that he could use them to help him expand his business and establish his own business empire, so that he could compete with those commercial families in Europe and the United States that had been inherited for dozens or hundreds of years.

As for those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, cultural relics, etc., they are all national treasures, Wang Jundao will never take them to deal with, anyway, they are all seized, no cost, in the future in his name or his business group, the establishment of a chain of museums, these things to the museum exhibition, the development of cultural tourism at the same time, but also let future generations to see the essence of the ancestors.

As for those jewels, Wang Jundao naturally had to hand them over to Cui Jingluo to take care of, open a jewelry company under his business group, and sell all of them for real money, but he couldn't keep them moldy, and in the future, with the expansion of the war, his business group will also expand, and when the time comes, the jewelry company will be chained to various regions.

Bai Yuncheng suddenly thought of one thing, and said: "Jun Dao, there is one more thing, there is a government-run weapons production factory in Tai'an City, there are more than 100 workers in it, but it is a pity that the government is unwilling to inject capital, nor is it willing to train researchers, the output rate is very low, and the workers are not able to produce ten old-fashioned rifles a month due to their low wages and poor positive surnames, but I have seen the resumes of these workers, they are all extremely experienced workers, do you want to keep them?" ”

"Of course you have to stay, not only to stay, but also to treat them well, you can appease them well, give them wages and hopes, let them recover their positive surname, with them, plus more than 70 people in the Ordnance Design Factory by the Yushui River, our arsenal will be settled, even if we can't recruit technicians from Europe in the future, we can produce all kinds of weapons!" Wang Jundao said fieryly.

"Well, I'll do it."

"And. Uncle Bai, you recruit all the craftsmen from all regions of Tai'an County to Tai'an County as soon as possible, especially the blacksmiths and weapon manufacturers from all over the country, don't let go of any of them as much as possible, and after recruiting them, use the treatment policy I have formulated to give them preferential treatment, of course, they must be trained according to the military training plan I formulated. Wang Jundao nodded and continued. The purpose of his doing this is to lay the foundation for the establishment of an industrial base in the future, as long as all kinds of craftsmen from all over the country are gathered, classified training, and learning the various industrial technologies he designed, then as long as there is his core guidance in the future, he can build his own industrial empire even if he does not rely on Western talents, and he knows that China in this era is not without an industrial base at all, and it can even be said that if there is no Sino-Japanese War, China's industrial strength can definitely rank among the top ten powers in the world, of course, As long as the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China fails, China does not experience compensation, does not be sacked by the Eight-Nation Alliance, is not controlled by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and is not ravaged by the Eight-Nation Alliance, China's national strength can still rank among the top five in the world, especially China's economic strength, except for Britain, the United States, Russia and Germany, I am afraid that even France is not comparable to China, and China has a vast land and resources, in addition to the United States and Russia, which country can compare?

Wang Jundao firmly believes that as long as the existing industry, economy, talent, resources, agriculture, etc. on the land of China are thoroughly integrated, with China accounting for one-third of the world's population, even if China cannot attack other countries, it will have absolutely no problem to protect itself! After all, China is the home field, and any country that comes is an away game, even if it is a multinational alliance, it is the same!

"No problem." Bai Yuncheng nodded, in fact, even if Wang Jundao didn't say it, he would do it.

"Uncle Bai, I will take the Tiger Regiment to attack Laiwu County tomorrow night, you lift martial law at noon the day after tomorrow, after the ban is lifted, the first company will go west according to my order and take Feicheng County, then there will only be a guard company in Tai'an County, and your task is very heavy." Wang Jundao said. Feicheng County must be captured immediately, so that the western gateway of Tai'an can be closed and Tai'an can be safe, and Laiwu County must also be taken immediately, because it is the eastern gateway of Tai'an.

"Don't worry, with me, Tai'an is safe, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion who have been incorporated have also returned to their hearts, and Tai'an is safer." Bai Yuncheng said confidently.

"Hmm." Wang Jundao nodded, and continued: "The set of policies we implemented in Zhonggong Town against landlords and tyrants should not be implemented in Tai'an for the time being, now we are short of troops, and those landlords and tyrants are too many to take into account, and when we completely annex Tai'an Mansion and completely incorporate the patrol battalion soldiers of each county, we will control the absolute force, and then slowly clean them up, of course, there is no need to show favor to them, otherwise we are likely to fall into the name of a backsliding at that time, which is not conducive to our future governance." ”

"I can save all this, you can rest assured to attack the city and build the land, and incorporate the remaining counties into our territory as soon as possible." Bai Yuncheng said with a smile. He knows very well that Yang Poyu is going west, Wang Jundao is going east, there is Mount Tai in the north, and Zhonggong Town is in the north of the mountains, Tai'an seems to have just occupied it now, but in fact it is as stable as Mount Tai, and he only needs the guards to insert the sword in the middle of the formation, and everything is fine!

"Then I'll be relieved." Wang Jundao smiled and nodded, and said leisurely: "Now I am in China, internal and external troubles, in the future, we will take this Tai'an as the center, under this Mount Tai, with Mount Tai's Chinese national fortune through the ages, command the world, calm the country, let me China truly be peaceful." ”
