Chapter 11 The development of the country in recent years
Qin Yu and his entourage soon returned to the Qin family, and along the way, many people were curious to see this battle of the Qin family, and they all came to watch it, and at a glance, they realized that it was the young master of the Qin family who came back from studying abroad, and many rumors about Qin Yu were also slowly discussed.
"I heard that Young Master Qin married a foreign wife, that foreign woman with blue eyes and yellow hair is it, right? It's so beautiful! β
"It's still Young Master Qin's talent, a Westerner's wife, worthy of the Qin family's species."
"I heard that Young Master Qin still has a lot of industries abroad, and the development of the Qin family in the past few years has mostly relied on Young Master Qin, tsk, amazing!"
"Also, I heard my dog say that Young Master Qin studied very well in Germany and graduated early, which is the most powerful school in Germany."

I have to say that ordinary people still like to discuss these gossips very much, but Qin Yu can't care about this, at this time he is already standing in front of the gate of the Qin family, Qin Yu is still very excited when he looks at the gate that has not changed much, he has not been home for seven or eight years, and he is still very excited.
The subordinates of the Qin family were all busy, and when they saw Qin Yu and them coming back, they still put down their work and looked at Qin Yu and Erin, and greeted them in unison: "Young master, young lady is good, old lady is good." β
Qin Yu nodded and walked forward with Erin, he looked around as he walked, and suddenly two beautiful girls came from the front, and when the girl saw Qin Yu, she ran over and hugged Qin Yu left and right and said excitedly: "Young master, you are finally back, we have been waiting for you for a long time." β
Qin Yu looked at Xiaozhu and Xiaolan and said, "It's not like I'm coming back, I've become more beautiful after a few years." β
It turned out that these two girls were Xiaozhu and Xiaolan who followed Chen Fu and them back. The two of them said in unison: "Young master, we miss you so much, we have worked very hard in the past few years." β
"Okay, okay, I see, it's really good."
At this time, Xiaozhu and Xiaolan greeted Erin: "Hello young lady." "At that time, they were very sad to learn the news of Qin Yu and Erin's marriage, but they were soon better, China has three wives and four concubines, and if you can't do a big one, you can do a small one.
"Uh-huh, hello, long time no see."
In the evening, in the Qin family's study, Qin Yu's mother and son were chatting about the past few years, "Mother, it's okay all these years, it's my unfilial piety to not be able to accompany my mother in the past few years, please forgive my mother." β
"It's okay, you still have your own things to do, big things are important." From Qin Yu's actions over the years, she had expected what Qin Yu was planning, but she didn't expect her son to be doing something earth-shattering.
"Mother, tell me about the development of the business house over the years, I don't know much about it." Qin Yu is not very clear about the development of China.
Mrs. Qin: "Now the firm is the largest firm in China, and the textile industry defeated the Japanese textile industry last year to dominate the domestic market, and only a small number of European textile products are sold in small quantities; The output of iron has been more than one million tons, and the output of steel is more than 500,000 tons; The shipyard also has a great development, that is, there are not many skilled workers, and there are not many senior technicians; Transportation to is developing rapidly, especially after the business with Southeast Asia is launched; In agriculture, food production is okay, and the development of tea is very slow; As for the rest, it's okay. β
"Iron and steel should speed up the progress, the textile industry should be stable, as for the technical personnel, it will be hired with high salaries, and foreign ones will be given better treatment, and the development has been very satisfactory to now, after all, our country is not comparable to the Western powers."
Mrs. Qin: "It's very good now, but the revolutionary party has been making such a fuss recently, they seem to be going to be unfavorable to our firm, what do you think about the revolutionary party, should we give them support?" β
Qin Yu: "Hmph, a group of guys who only fight for power and profit, they know what they know, they don't know if they are used by others, don't pay attention to them, if it's really annoying, give them a little, by the way, I have arranged for some people to join the revolutionary party, and they will contact the business house when the time comes." β
Qin Yu chatted with Mrs. Qin for a while and left, and went to ask Chen Fu and them to come back secretly to discuss something. Qin Yu also went to check his small arsenal, because he was afraid of being discovered by the Qing government, he produced on a small mountain, the transportation was not good, the output was very small, the monthly output of Mauser 98 rifles was only 200, 1,000 committee rifles, 50 Makqin heavy machine guns, 10 mountain artillery, 3 mortars, and 50,000 bullets of various types.
Mauser Type 98 rifle: The M1898 Mauser rifle fires 7.92mm M1898 Mauser rifle pointed bullets, the muzzle velocity of the bullet is 859m/s, the gauge range is 2000m, it is fed by 5 fixed magazines, the loading device is 5 rounds of bridge clips, the rifling is 4 right-hand rotations, the total length of the gun is 1255mm, the barrel length is 738mm, the aiming baseline length is 655mm, the total weight of the gun is 4.08kg, and it is equipped with a bayonet.
Three days later, Chen Fu and the others secretly gathered in a restaurant under the name of the Qin family's trading house, and they all came with the achievements they had made over the years. Chen Fu served as the new army's pipe band in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, Wang Li and Huang Cheng served as the deputy head of the new army in Huangshi and Jiujiang in Hubei, Ye Canhua was the captain of the new army in Jingdezhen, Li Dahai was in the new army in Zhumadian, Qin San was in the Shangqiu new army, Chen Kai was in Jinan's Beiyang army, Han Ming was in Xinyang, Li Bingying was in Shijiazhuang's Beiyang army, Wang Qiang's new army in Zhengzhou, and some of Qin Yu's students in Germany were lurking in Nanchang and other places.
Qin Yu met with them for three days, and asked them to take two-thirds of the weapons and more than 10 million taels of silver that they got back from Germany this time, and let them arm and win over their subordinates as much as possible, and do their best to rise to their positions, and the fastest way to rise is bribery and suppression of bandits, and suppression of bandits is a must to do, not only to train soldiers but also to earn the voice of the people.
What Qin Yu has to do now is to go to the governor of Anqing to get a military position and develop his heavy industry while training, and the governor of Anqing is already a member of the Qin firm, and the officials of the Qing court can't stand it under the temptation of Qin's firm's money, so now the whole of southern Anhui is under Qin Yu's control, and what Qin Yu has to do is to extend his influence to the entire Anhui and surrounding provinces and cities.
After a month of rest, Qin Yu took up the post of commander of the Anqing New Army under the "sincere" invitation of the Anqing County Order, and began to take charge of the Anqing New Army, and Qin Yu also arranged 500 German retired officers into the New Army as instructors.
In October 1908, Qin Yu began to rectify the new army in southern Anhui, although his actions were very large, but everyone thought that this was just the young master of the Qin family playing, after all, who would have thought that the heir of the dignified Qin family firm would care about such a small military attachΓ©, which also saved Qin Yu a lot of trouble.
