Since he is ready to do the revolution on his own, in a sense, Yan Guang is already on the opposite side of Beiyang and the Alliance―――――― although the latter two do not know that there is such a person as Yan Guang, and even if they do, they may not regard Yan Guang as an opponent.

But even so, Yan Guang is still ready to find a feng shui treasure suitable for his own development.

In fact, Yan Guang's favorite is the Northeast, because the Northeast is the most suitable place for the development of heavy industry in China, not only has a large number of iron ore and coal mines, but also accounts for half of China's oil reserves, and the most important thing is that the black soil belt of Heilongjiang and Jilin can be said to be the most fertile land in China, with this black land even in the cold Northeast can feed a large number of people.

It's a pity that the population of the whole Northeast during this period was less than 20 million people, even if there was black soil, there was no need for it, and it was necessary to face the threat of Yuan Shikai, and the Russians were also eyeing this land, and he said that he was directly stationed in the Northeast with the strength of a division...

"Alas..."Yan Guang spent an X on the map of China that he bought, crossing out the northeast.

Of China's seven major iron ore mining areas, the Northeast accounts for two (Benxi and Anshan), and now that the Northeast has been crossed out, there are only five places left to choose from.

Suiyuan was also crossed out, although Suiyuan has the Baiyun Obo mining area in Baotou, and the iron ore and other ores are very rich, but it is too close to the forces of Beiyang. And even if the Mongolian brothers in Suiyuan don't dislike themselves, there are only one or two million people there, which is not suitable for development at all.

"Benxi, Anshan, Baiyun Obo, three of China's seven major iron ore mining areas have been crossed out by me, so there are only four places left to choose from." Looking at the two areas on the map that had been crossed out by himself, Yan Guang touched his chin habitually.

The next thing to be crossed out by Yan Guang is Hebei, although Hebei has a Qian'an mining area, but unfortunately it is too close to Yanjing like Suiyuan, and this is Yuan Shikai's sphere of influence in Beiyang at all, unless Yan Guang plans to follow Yuan Shikai, otherwise it is impossible to choose this place as his base...

"Four, three left..."

The remaining three are Daye and Ma'anshan in Anhui, Panzhihua in Sichuan and Shilu in Hainan.

Hainan is the first place to be crossed out by Yanguang, although Hainan is a very good climate and very suitable for tourism, but in this era it is impossible for tourism to make a country strong, not to mention that there is no concept of tourism at this time. Moreover, Hainan now belongs to Guangdong, and it is the territory of the League, and if he has no foundation rashly causes trouble in Guangdong, he will be driven down, and maybe the result of all his efforts will be someone else's wedding dress.

As for landing directly on Hainan Island...... Forget it, let's talk about the next place...

After crossing out the Shilu in Hainan, there are only two options left for Yan Guang now, one is Panzhihua in Sichuan, and the other is Daye and Ma'anshan Iron Mine in Anhui.

The geographical location of Sichuan is very good, next to Yunnan is Cai Yi's territory, Guizhou seems to have been occupied by Tang Jiyao with him in 1912, and it is also adjacent to Gansu, Shaanxi and Hubei. Sichuan is also very rich, known as the country of abundance, the whole Sichuan in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China has a population of more than 50 million, all kinds of mineral deposits are also very rich, there are cute giant pandas...

It is a pity that the iron ore of Panzhihua is unusable in this era, because the iron ore of Panzhihua belongs to vanadium titanomagnetite, and this kind of iron ore can be smelted in a normal way if it is a low-titanium vanadium titanomagnetite, but if it is a high-titanium vanadium titanomagnetite, then even if it is changed to any country of the same era, there is no way.

And very unlucky, Panzhihua's iron ore happens to be high-titanium vanadium titanomagnetite, in order to be able to use Panzhihua's high-titanium vanadium titanomagnetite, China did not figure out how to smelt until the 70s.

Although Yan Guang is from 2012, he has also made more than 100 inventions mixed with the title of China's invention king, but smelting this aspect of the matter has nothing to do with Yan Guang in the 21st century, and the situation itself is also very complicated, Yan Guang does not think that he can solve the problem in just a few years that can only be solved after more than 60 years...

Ben came to this situation, Yan Guang's choice was only Ma'anshan and Daye Iron Mine in Anhui, but...

"Han Yeping..."Looking at Anhui Province, Yan Guang's smile was full of bitterness.

Just this year, Sheng Xuanhuai played the Qing court and demanded that the Hanyang Iron Works, Daye Iron Mine and Pingxiang Coal Mine in Jiangxi be merged into the Hanye Ping Coal and Iron Works and Mining Company, and at the same time, the original official supervision and commercial office was transformed into a completely commercial office. Originally, this should be regarded as a good thing, after all, it is basically difficult for officials to supervise and do business this kind of thing, especially in such a period as the late Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that in 09 years, Sheng Xuanhuai originally planned to recruit 20 million silver yuan in commercial shares, but only recruited about 8 million, so he had no choice but to borrow from himself, but the problem is...

Is my money so easy to borrow?

As the largest steel mill in China, Hanyang Iron Works can produce nearly 70,000 tons of steel per year, accounting for more than 90% of China's steel output at that time, while the output of Benxi Iron and Steel in the same era is only 140,000 tons.

Originally, when Sheng Xuanhuai was in charge of the official supervision and business office, although the Han Yeping company also borrowed money from him, after all, the number was small, and there was an official governor there, so although he didn't like him, there was nothing he could do, but when it was time to completely do business, his opportunity came...

Beginning in 1908, Hanyeping Iron Works borrowed a total of 12 times, six of which were borrowed from himself, and by 1911, the company's total silver consumption was 32 million taels, of which 10 million taels were the principal, and the remaining 22 million taels were all borrowed, and he had to account for the vast majority of them...

At this time, my borrowing simply became an investment...

1911 was not only the year of the Xinhai Revolution, but also the year when the Hanyeping Iron Works was subject to himself.

Of course, the Hanyang Iron Works is in Wuhan, and after the Wuchang Uprising, it was Li Yuanhong's, and it has nothing to do with Yan Guang. The problem is that Sheng Xuanhuai used as collateral for the loan was Daye Iron Mine, and the merchant had such a condition in the loan contract with Hanyeping Company, that is, the loan was secured by the property of the factory and the iron sand, with a term of 30 years, and the iron sand should be sold to Yue himself as much as possible except for the Hanyang Iron Works' own use, and the price of the iron sand was agreed upon by both parties, and was not affected by the international market, and the Hachiman Iron Works could be pre-purchased.

Since 08, every year I have to transport 60,000 or 70,000 tons of iron sand from Daye Iron Mine, in such a situation, what is the use of Yan Guang guarding Daye Iron Mine?

Of course, Yan Guang can also buy it back with money, the problem is that even if those rubber stocks can indeed earn Yan Guang back five million dollars next year, it will only be more than 15 million silver yuan, although it can't be regarded as a drop in the bucket but it is still not enough, and even if he really invests all the money into it, the question is whether he will sell the shares to himself?

The annual steel production of the Hanyang Iron Works is equivalent to more than 90 percent of China's steel production, and controlling Han Yeping is equivalent to controlling China's heavy industry.

As for the direct recovery by force? Yan Guang believes that there is no need to do it himself, there will be a lot of people in Beiyang and even the Alliance who want to take this opportunity to kill him, don't forget that he doesn't belong to either of the two, and Anhui happens to be between these two forces...

As for Ma On Shan? Ma'anshan is very good, but unfortunately it is too close to Nanjing, it is simply close at hand. And although I don't know much about modern history, I still know a little about the embarrassment after the establishment of the Nanjing political axe, as long as there is a little provocation by someone who sees that he is not a member of the alliance, the iron factory in Ma'anshan will not need to be opened.

At that time, even if Sun Yat-sen and others come forward to stop it, can they control their subordinates...

So...

"Where should I choose?"
