Chapter 387: Knocking

Northern Myanmar has long been regarded as the land of miasma, the power of the Central Plains Dynasty could not reach here at all, only the local Tusi maintained their rule, and now all the Tusi have been cleared, coupled with the improvement of China's medical and health conditions, making it possible to develop northern Burma, especially with tens of thousands of Indian prisoners, who have become the best pioneers.

Many people have been killed by poisonous insects in the jungle, but for these Indians China is not polite, completely used as livestock, in fact, the British is not the case, the Indian captives first leveled the land, and then the Chinese farmers continued to develop, in order to be able to develop quickly, China transferred more than 1,000 tractors from the country, every day is busy, and now there are more than 100,000 farmers driving into Jiangxinpo.

The water and heat conditions here are very good, three crops a year, the yield is considerable, enough to feed millions of people, Qiao Yu and his party entered several settlements along the newly built road, and encountered a lot of vehicles transporting timber along the way.

Seeing those giant trees with a diameter of more than one or two meters, Qiao Yu was also a little amazed.

"Mr. Luo, I'm afraid that this kind of good timber in the Central Plains will be gone for a long time!"

"Yes, now that the economy is developing, the more building materials are needed, this kind of giant wood can be sold at a good price, I heard that the Northeast is also developing, and a large number of Korean pines are trafficking in the Guannai, so the price of timber is afraid that it will not rise too fast!"

The Northeast is indeed one of the most important timber producing areas, and it has not yet been developed, and the transportation conditions are convenient, and the potential is far greater than that of northern Myanmar, but northern Myanmar also has advantages, that is, special tree species, such as teak, etc., are now being developed on a large scale!

"Precious tree species can not grow in a day or two, such as China's unique golden silk nanmu in the past, a large number of felling in the Ming Dynasty, now it is almost extinct, the same is true for rosewood, but also imported from Nanyang India and other places, after I return to Yanjing, I am ready to formulate a forest law, for the use of forest resources should also have a plan, always think about it for a long time, or our future generations will be troubled if they want to use these precious woods in a few decades!"

"Prime Minister, you always have a long-term view, if you want me to say that everything pays attention to open source and reduce expenditure, there is a limit to just guarding our one acre and three points of land, and now that we have recovered northern Myanmar, we have obtained so many benefits, if we get all the South Seas, then there will be inexhaustible resources!"

This Luo Changbi is usually gentle and elegant, but he didn't expect such a strong expansion**, but anyone who understands the resources of Southeast Asia will covet it, but China has lost the opportunity in later generations, and can only rely on the free trade zone to achieve some goals, and now China still has a lot of opportunities, and must swallow this piece of fat!

Qiao Yu visited three settlements in succession, and at the same time went to the current border post to condole, encouraging the soldiers to defend the border for the country, have the courage to dedicate, and ruthlessly strike at any force that dares to invade China's sacred territory, Qiao Yu's words are of course for the British to hear, in the past, when Britain was strong, it continued to encroach on China's territory, and now the trend of strength and weakness has changed, you better be honest!

After a day's stay in northern Myanmar, where he inspected the newly incorporated territory, he returned to Kunming and then headed north to Chengdu.

Qiao Yu left Chengdu for less than a year, but a lot of things happened during this time, the Sichuan system became the master of China, the cadres of the Sichuan system have now held the power of the military state in their hands, Qiao Yu returned to Sichuan again, and the welcome was far beyond imagination, the grand occasion was unprecedented, military and political dignitaries, business experts, especially Qiao Yu's original old subordinates, and old allies all gathered at the railway station to warmly welcome Qiao Yu, the founder of the Sichuan system.

Sichuan Provincial Governor Zhou Jun, Speaker of the Southwest Council Li Mo, Wang Gui, Zhang Fuxiang, Wang Dongcheng, Wang Chengji, including Lu Nai and others all arrived, Qiao Yu greeted one by one, it seemed very close, he was originally in Chengdu Shuai Mansion has been retained, there is a special person to clean and maintain it every day, everything is similar to the beginning, Lu Wanqing also quickly regained the feeling of the hostess, and Qiao Luan even took the hand of the little sister Qiao Rui, walked around, and took her to see her baby, the two national treasure pandas!

Sitting in the familiar study, Qiao Yu actually had a feeling of being in a different world, he had finally mastered the supreme power of the country from Xinhai to the present, of course, there was a Xu Shichang on his head, he did not really sit in the position of president, but it was almost the same, it was easy to fight the country, it was difficult to sit on the country, how to govern this huge country next, and how to adjust the interests of complex factions became the most troublesome thing!

As soon as Qiao Yu arrived at the Shuai Mansion, Lu Nai came to visit, others can decide, the old father-in-law must not be blocked outside, Lu Nai's current status is high, he has become the prime minister's Lao Taishan, and all the dignitaries from all walks of life have to look up to themselves, so that Lu Nai doesn't feel a little fluttering, if Qiao Yu can take a step forward and become the president, then wouldn't he be equivalent to the national ruler, it's exciting to think about, his girl really has a vision!

Qiao Luan hadn't seen this kind grandfather for a while, as soon as he saw Lu Nai coming, he asked his grandfather to hug him, Lu Nai hugged his grandson Qiao Luan, smiled, and said to Qiao Yu: "Shunqing, you see how sensible Luan Er, you know that you miss your grandfather, what a good child!" ”

Lu Nai's words changed and continued: "Shunqing, at the beginning, I advocated not to choose the capital in Yanjing, whether it is Chengdu or Chongqing, this is our own place, Yanjing is the nest of Beiyang, Yuan Datou didn't go to Nanjing back then, if you dislike the remoteness of Sichuan, then choose Wuhan, which is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and it is closer to Sichuan, I want to meet my grandson, and it is not convenient!" ”

"Dad, how many years has Yanjing been the capital, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and choosing Yanjing will avoid turmoil in people's hearts, if you want to see your grandson, you might as well move to Yanjing, Wanqing and I are so filial to you!"

In fact, the issue of the capital has been debated, some people advocate Nanjing, some advocate Wuhan, and some advocate Chongqing, but in fact, this kind of capital dispute is not a competition for China's domestic political forces, the original people from the People's Party, such as Yu Peilun, Yang Shukan and others all advocate the choice of Nanjing, they believe that the capital of the Republic of China was first selected in Nanjing, and now it is just time to return to the source; Since the Sichuan faction is the largest faction, the capital should be located in Sichuan, and no matter how bad it is, it should be located in Wuhan, highlighting the status of the Sichuan faction!

And those who insist on Yanjing are some old people in Beiyang, including literati such as Zhang Taiyan, who believe that Yanjing has been the capital of China for hundreds of years, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and should not be changed casually.

Qiao Yu has not expressed his position on this kind of controversy, but just said that he would wait until later to deal with it, everyone thought that Qiao Yu wanted to wait until he became president and change the capital in the name of justice, so he gave up the argument for the time being, but he has been secretly competing!

But since Qiao Yu was talking to Zhan Tianyou, he inadvertently revealed that Qiao Yu wanted to make Yanjing a full-time capital and a political and cultural capital, there is no doubt that he has already expressed his position on this issue, Yanjing is still the capital, and it cannot be changed!

Lu Nai's proposal for this matter at this time was naturally tempting, and he wanted to see Qiao Yu's real plans, but Qiao Yu didn't mention the issue of the capital at all, but asked him to move, and for a while Lu Nai didn't know what to say, he couldn't move the capital because of the convenience of a few people, it was still easy to move.

However, Lu Nai already had a huge industry in Sichuan at this time, where could he leave, so he had to cough twice and demonstrate embarrassment, of course, Qiao Yu couldn't be too embarrassed by his old father-in-law, unless he wanted to kneel on the washboard!

"The last time I sent a letter to Wanqing, Luan'er is not young, find a few more friends for the children, so that they can cultivate their feelings from an early age, and take care of each other in the future!"

"Dad, this matter Wanqing has already been done, and many peasant children have been selected, all of whom are simple and reliable people, Luan'er has lived too well since he was a child, and it is also a good thing for him to know more about society!"

Lu Nai's mouth suddenly opened wide, looking very dissatisfied.

"Shunqing, Wanqing, isn't this nonsense, you look at it like this? I'm thinking about choosing some children of eunuchs, descendants of military generals, these children have studied with Luan'er since childhood, and established friendship with each other, not for the future, what is the use of a bunch of mud legs! ”

"Dad, you don't have to be angry, I think this is very good, there are no three generations of wealth, and there are no Qing officials! I can't just think about the benefits, besides, I am ready to legislate, strictly enforce the system of official use, strictly prohibit the hereditary system, everything depends on the ability! ”

As soon as Lu Nai heard Qiao Yu's words, he looked at his face again, and immediately knew that this son-in-law was going to play really, and Lu Nai's face was not very good-looking, "Shunqing, I am your father-in-law, we are all a family, let me say a few words from my heart, this verbal thing can be said, but in fact, we still have to be flexible, who is an official does not want to be a wife and son, and does not give them benefits, can these people be obedient!" And now these enterprises are developing rapidly, we can also follow the Western way of playing, establish a huge consortium, and firmly control the country, so that with the support of the political axe, the army and the consortium, the status is more solid than the previous emperor, this is a long-term wealth, my surname is Lu! In fact, he is still an outsider, in the final analysis, it is not your Qiao family that benefits the most! ”

Qiao Yu still had a smile on his face, but he had a feeling in his heart, this position is different, and people's ambitions are greater, the old father-in-law has a showdown with himself today, in fact, it is not that those people around him hope to be able to pass their own level, and begin to let go of the layout, control the country in their own hands, and become the real emperor.

He single-handedly released the giant beast of capital, and although it is not yet mature, it has already revealed its greedy side!

"Father-in-law, what you think may be good, but I still have to advise you, there are some things that you don't have to participate in, and you don't have to listen to the words of some people with ulterior motives, I am the prime minister of this country, I must think about the long-term of the country, it is impossible for this country to be controlled by some interest groups, and China is too big, not everyone can swallow it, and we have to see if there is a good pair of teeth." You are also old, you might as well hand over the industry to the younger generations to take care of, China is big, you are willing to look around to see, I and Wanqing also hope that you can be comfortable in your old age, and live a long life! ”

"Dad, what Shun Qing said is also what I meant, you have been thinking for a lifetime, and it is time to rest!" Lu Wanqing also walked in at this time, and her tone was very firm!
