Lao Yuan's idea was nothing more than the way that two peaches killed three soldiers, wanting Guizhou to become the front line of the Sichuan-Yunnan war again, but Lao Yuan obviously miscalculated, this time the mobilization ability of the Sichuan army was revealed, and the action was extremely fast.

The Sichuan army in Xiangfan gradually retreated to Sichuan, and Qiao Yu's main force this time was the first division of the Sichuan army, plus the Yucheng reserve division, the two divisions of nearly 20,000 people were mobilized in less than half a month, Qiao Yu also rushed to Yucheng at this time, and the Sichuan army immediately swore to go out.

The Sichuan army quickly drove into Guizhou, so that Zhang Bailin, who was in northern Qianbei, was particularly happy, he was driven out of Guiyang by Liu Xianshi, if it wasn't for the protection of Sichuan, he almost lost his surname, so Zhang Bailin's resentment in his heart can be imagined, as soon as he heard that Xiong Kewu raided Guiyang, he knew that his opportunity had come, so Zhang Bailin mobilized all the troops under his command, and he also knew that he could not defeat Xiong Kewu with his own forces, so he could only defend strictly and wait for the arrival of the Sichuan army.

Soon the vanguard of the Sichuan army came to Zunyi, Zhang Bailin personally greeted him, and trotted to Qiao Yu from afar: "The patrol made the adults work tirelessly, and led the army to Guizhou, I am grateful on behalf of Guizhou!" ”

Qiao Yu was also very polite and grabbed Zhang Bailin: "Mr. Zhang, since Xinhai, you have won the support of the people of Guizhou, but I am also incompetent, and I have not been able to help Mr. keep the power in Guizhou, so I can only succumb to Zunyi, I feel ashamed!" ”

Zhang Bailin heard Qiao Yu mention the past, and his heart was also very sour: "Dashuai, I was too naïve, Liu Xianshi was a hungry wolf, the Dian army died of a tiger, Liu Xianshi for his own selfishness, for the tiger, disregarding the well-being of tens of millions of people in Guizhou, colluding with outsiders, for more than a year, the people of Guizhou have borne a heavy tax burden, and the harsh donations have been pressed down layer by layer, and the people are not able to make a living. Can't return Guizhou's fathers and elders to a peaceful and prosperous life! ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help Mr. realize his wish this time!" After Zhang Bailin got Qiao Yu's assurance, he was extremely excited, and the two of them entered Zunyi accompanied by the attaché, and they saw that Zunyi was still relatively prosperous along the way, with shops on both sides of the street, and merchants coming and going.

"Mr. Zhang has meritorious service in governing the place, the prosperity of Zunyi is no worse than that of Sichuan, you can be counted as a master of civil affairs!"

Zhang Bailin listened to Qiao Yu's praise, and looked slightly embarrassed: "Dashuai praised, Zunyi can have such a development in fact, it depends on Sichuan, now a large number of goods from Sichuan are transported into Guizhou, Zunyi is the largest trade distribution center, cloth, salt, ash, oil, machines and all kinds of things are transported here to sell, natural commerce and trade have flourished, I really don't have the size of the merit!" ”

Mr. Zhang is not more humble than himself, you can maintain local stability, and it is much better than others without reaching out to scavenge from these businessmen, but it can also be seen that our provinces have huge complementary surnames, and they must cooperate with each other to achieve development, and it is far from good to govern their own territory behind closed doors, especially what the economy needs is exchanges, and the Qing political axe was closed to the country, and finally occupied Yanjing City by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the lesson is in front of you, and now the people in power in many places, Not only do they fail to see the benefits of opening up the economy, but they are worried everywhere, thinking that everyone else is ambitious, and only by closing the provincial door can they not suffer losses, how stupid! ”

Zhang Bailin knew who Qiao Yu was satirizing, not long ago Sichuan political axe had sent an initiative to Yunnan to build a Chengdu-Kunming railway line to connect the economies of the two provinces together, but Tang Jiyao categorically refused, of course, Zhang Bailin also understood Tang Jiyao's calculations, now Sichuan economy and trade is very prosperous, there are more and more factories, if the railway is connected, Sichuan's goods can be driven straight in, not only goods, even the army can use this line to transport.

The Yunnan army naturally had to be wary of the increasingly powerful Sichuan army, and the Yunnan side did not want Sichuan to take advantage of the Yunnan-Vietnam railway, so Tang Jiyao rejected this proposal, Zhang Bailin He had no intention of competing with Qiao Yu, and it was also a good thing to enhance Guizhou's economic development to be able to strengthen exchanges, so Zhang Bailin was very agreeable to open exchanges.

"What the marshal said is very true, Guizhou is still willing to cooperate with Sichuan, don't dare to say anything else, Qianbei must be the only one who is handsome!"

"Mr. Zhang, this is a matter that is beneficial to the people of the two provinces, you can rest assured that I have absolutely no intention of harming Qianfeichuan."

Zhang Bailin held a grand welcome banquet in the town guard envoy's residence, and also treated the soldiers of the Sichuan army, and when the banquet was dispersed, Qiao Yu called Zhang Bailin to his guest room.

"Mr. Zhang, I have traveled all the way, and found that the people of Guizhou are still relatively bitter, as far as I know, there are some places where the common people can not survive and start to grow opium, but it will not work in the long run, you are from Guizhou, there is no idea of developing Guizhou, so that the people can eat enough?"

"Dashuai atoned for my sins, I was really stupid!" Zhang Bailin hurriedly stood up, sincerely afraid.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm not here to ask about the guilt, or to know your thoughts, from the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the present, except for the fact that the Chinese people don't have the emperor above their heads, the rest has not changed much better, and there are more taxes, and there are frequent wars in various places, how did the Qing Dynasty fall, we all know very well, if the Republic of China continues like this, I'm afraid there will be trouble sooner or later!"

"Handsome and wise, but Guizhou has been a barren land since ancient times, there are still a lot of toast in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are many mountains and few fields, and the common people point to the soil to dig food, how much can they get, and they can't even fill their stomachs, let alone others, I just hate me There is no way, I can't let my parents and villagers enjoy a rich life!"

Qiao Yu nodded: "Mr. Zhang, how much can you get just by digging in the soil, for example, in Europe, where the rain and heat are different, they can't grow the banker, they can only grow grass, but they have now become the richest place in the world, we must open our eyes and learn from other people's experience, Guizhou farming is not good, but there are many other resources buried in the ground, Sichuan University has carried out an investigation of Guizhou's geology, and many resources in Guizhou are very rich, such as in Liuzhi, there are huge coal mines in the area of Panxian County, Kaiyang has phosphate rock, Xiuwen has bauxite reserves are among the best in the country, Guizhou also has the world-famous Moutai liquor, but also rich in traditional Chinese medicine, if these can be managed well, each is a treasure trove, not to mention other gold mines and the like, you are guarding the golden rice bowl to eat! ”

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, Zhang Bailin was immediately shocked, he never thought that Guizhou still had so many resources, this vision is different, and the things he sees are different, no wonder Qiao Yu can spend money in Sichuan, it turns out that people's ability to hold money is not comparable to others.

However, what frightened Zhang Bailin even more was Qiao Yu's familiarity with Guizhou, which made him feel ashamed as a Guizhou person, it seems that this person must have put a lot of effort into it, and he is also determined to be in the world!

"Dashuai, Bailin, as a native of Guizhou, didn't know that there were so many treasures in Guizhou, he was really ashamed, I just hope that Dashuai can point out a road to prosperity for the people of Guizhou, and Bailin will listen to Dashuai's orders from now on!"

Qiao Yu's face was full of smiles, and what he wanted was this result: "When I came, I had already met with American business representatives, and the Americans were ready to invest 10 million US dollars to assist us in building a railway connecting Yucheng and Guiyang, and then build it from Guiyang to Panxian, as long as the railway is completed, all kinds of resources in Guizhou will be able to be transported out in a steady stream, and the funds will enter Guizhou!" ”
