Wu Xiao is the representative of the insurance team, and Chang Jinlong is sitting next to him, and they are all in charge of the armed escort.

"The chairman plans to build a city between Mohe and Huma?" The questioner was Qiu Yan'er, the chief financial officer.

Wang nodded and said, "Relying on military bases, build factories, and immigrate in large numbers." ”

"Does the Qing court agree?" There are question marks drawn in the hearts of the people.

"What if you don't agree?" Wang Yi looked at the people present. "We just want to build a city for the sake of mining, isn't that enough! They should be given a lot of points, if they chirp for me again, I will take Heilongjiang away! ”

Wang Yi's words are really not boasting about Haikou, the total number of infantry under General Heilongjiang's command is now several thousand, and there are very few who can really be equipped with guns. Even so, these people don't gather together on weekdays, and they follow a few deputies to guard everywhere. When it really came time to fight, they still had to pull strong men from all over the country, and all ethnic groups gathered to spread their heads. However, most of these ethnic minorities are good at horse archery, so in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, when fighting against the regular army, it was not too much of a loss. But now is not the age of swords, horses, bows and arrows, if you really have to set up positions, the improvised cavalry will be vulnerable in the face of firepower such as Gatling machine guns. This is also the main reason why the Qing Dynasty lost its ability to resist in the face of Tsarist Russia and Japan. In fact, not only Heilongjiang, but also the resistance troops in Jilin are only between 7,000 and 9,000, and there are more in Fengtian, but not much, and most of them are still relying on Beiyang to support the scene.

The agrarian countries against the industrial countries are doomed to tragedy.

"Since the chairman has made a decision, I have no objection." The first to express his position was the general manager of Dashang Light Industry.

"I agree!" Then there is Shen Baiyu of Dashang Power.

Then everyone also began to express their positions, but Tan Xiangju of Dashang Heavy Industry did not speak.

"Mr. Tan, what is your opinion?"

Wang Yi asked at this time.

"Chairman, since everyone is their own person, then I will also open the skylight and say something."

The king nodded a little.

"Dashang Heavy Industry has been overloaded, several large machinery are developed by us, Dashang shipbuilding needs to use 4,000 tons of hydraulic presses. Dashang Iron and Steel needs to use 300,000 tons of open hearth, 300,000 tons of rotary blowing furnace, and continuous rolling equipment. New furnace ...... for Dashang Cement Plant We really can't afford the new job now! Tan Xiangju was very embarrassed.

Wang Yi thought about it, and at this time, Miss Qiu Er said, "We don't have to use brand new equipment. Some factories have eliminated some of the old production capacity, and it is enough to relocate Mohe. ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded, which was also a way.

"In addition to alchemy, Mohe wants to build a cement factory, a brick factory, a coal mine, a lime mine, a graphite mine, a thermal power station, and a water plant." Wang Yi paused at this time, then looked at Qian Haixin, who was sitting at the end, and said, "Mohe, you can also open a branch factory, you don't need to make things, you can repair them." ”

"Yes!" Qian Haixin nodded, most people didn't know him, and Wang Yi didn't introduce him to everyone.

At this time, Wang Yi said to Yang Qianniu, the general manager of Dashang Animal Husbandry Company: "You also went over to invest and open a few more pastures!" ”

"I've already sent someone."

"Lao Yang, you really haven't said anything about your efficiency. We don't have to worry about the problem of Mohe grain, Tai'an and the Grain and Oil Price Alliance have agreed to open a branch in Mohe. Manager Li, Dashang Yinlu also has to open a branch over there, and the business can't afford it, so it depends on you to Zhang Luo. ”

"Yes, Chairman!"

"In addition, the telephone and telegraph office also did its best to lay lines, and strive to call the same as in Mohe." At this time, Wang Yi looked at Schroeder Kailan, the general manager of Dashang Iron and Steel Company, and said, "Mr. Kailan, prepare a batch of rails to be transported to Mohe, and build railways between various factories. ”

The meeting lasted for three hours, not only laying out the recent work of Dashang, but also planning the long-term goals.

After the meeting ended, Li Yuzhen came to Wang Yi and said, "Chairman ......"

"Something?" Wang Yi was puzzled.

"That's the case, yesterday the people from the Jilin General's Mansion came to our silver furnace and said that they also wanted to borrow money from us according to the model of the Shengjing General's Mansion."

"Government loans...... General Jilin? Ming'an? Only then did Wang Yi understand why Li Yuzhen came to him. To put it bluntly, Ming'an had a grudge against Dashang, and Yucheng colluded with his nephew Cong Fu and Yang Tieshan in a vain attempt to embezzle Dashang Iron and Steel Plant, but died in the hands of the hidden knife.

Now Ming'an is only the general of Jilin, but Wang Yi knows that next year his pronoun will be removed and become a real grant. Speaking of which, Ming'an is still a good official, who has reformed many times in Jilin, established the system of halls and counties, opened paddocks, protected mountains and forests, developed coal mines, cracked down on illegal gold mining, prevented Russian invasion from waterways, and reformed the military system.

Wang Yi pondered for a while before he said, "How much is the loan?" What are the conditions? ”

"Three-year period, one million merchant silver dollars!" Li Yuzhen paused, looked at Wang Yi's reaction, and continued: "With four gold mines and one coal mine as collateral, the two large 'famine' paddocks of the Twin Castles and Bethune are the interest. ”

Wang Yi checked on the map, the twin castles are okay, and Bethune belongs to the eastern part of the Songyuan Plain, and the location is not bad.

"Ming'an's plan is good, the cake painting is quite large, and he uses four gold mines and a coal mine as collateral. To put it bluntly, if he pays the money on time, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Li Yuzhen smiled and said, "That's it. ”

"And since the Twin Castles and Berdoune are famine, they are really desolate. Two large pieces of wasteland in exchange for the right to use one million silver dollars for three years. When it's over, I'm going to move the people to those two wastelands out of my own pocket, and then the population can increase and the taxes can increase under his rule. Wang Yiba pursed his mouth and sighed: "This Ming'an, it's really fucking unusual!" ”

Li Yuzhen laughed out loud and said, "Chairman, then we won't borrow this silver?" ”

"Borrow, why don't you borrow!" Wang Yi stepped on the stool one by one, and slapped the table on the other hand, and his posture was really like a bandit.

"Is this still borrowed?" Li Yuzhen felt puzzled, Dashang Silver Furnace was not short of this million silver dollars, but what was wrong with this money.

"However, it is not possible to borrow like this! Go back to the Jilin General's Mansion, the double castle, we don't want it. There's nothing we want there, but we can consider Berdonne, how to say that the environment is not bad, and we want the land of Anda Hall north of Berdune! I want the two to come together. If we can agree, we will talk, and if we can't agree, forget it. Wang Yi drew a rough range on the map.

Li Yuzhen didn't know what Wang Yi was planning, and said strangely: "Chairman, can you get to the bottom of it, what do you mean by this move?" ”

Wang Yi smiled and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" You try to talk about achievements as much as possible. ”

Seeing that Wang Yi had also sold a lawsuit, Li Yuzhen nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will send someone to talk to someone from the Jilin General's Mansion, I believe there should be no big problem." ”

After Li Yuzhen left, Wang Yi looked at the map, like a weasel who stole a chicken, because the area he painted had a name in later generations, called: "Songjiang Plain", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the land of fish and rice. Of course, there is an even more valuable treasure out there, which is - oil! To be more precise, from Bethune to the northwest, it is the Daqing Oilfield in the future!

Wang Yi does not have the ability to develop the Daqing Oilfield now, and he does not need to develop the Daqing Oilfield, even if there is really a place for oil, he has it under his hands! That is Panjin, the Liaohe Oilfield in later generations. Nowadays, the power of the big merchants has already penetrated into the Panjin area, and the later generations of Panshan, Xinglongtai, Dawa and so on have insurance teams stationed. The bandit dreadlocks in the vicinity were wiped out. The land that originally belonged to the banner people was also purchased by Wang Yi. Of course, these things can't be seen, but it doesn't matter, everyone turns a blind eye.

Dashang now has three main development directions, except for Mohe in Heilongjiang and Huma to be occupied later. The other two directions are to the west and fully occupy Panjin. To the east, occupy Gongchangling, and even Benxi.

At the end of summer, Wang and his people went to Panjin, and as far as the eye could see, a large area of reeds was swinging. Wang Yi sat on the edge of the reed pond with two fishing rods in front of him, and at this time he stretched out his arms, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath! What comes to mind is the rice paddies and the green crab enclosures on the ridges of the fields - two of Panjin's famous products: rice and river crabs.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yazhi sat next to Wang Yi, holding a fishing rod and fishing, complaining: "Don't move, the fish won't eat the bait." ”

Chu Yuan led his guards and stood facing the four directions.

Three or four miles away, there is a ring of walls, and there is a very strange machine in it.

"Wang Yi, what is that?" Shen Yazhi asked curiously.

"Real yàn logging!"

"What's it for?"

"I know there's oil here in Panjin, but if I want to know what's going on under the surface, I need logging."

"It seems that oil extraction is quite troublesome." Shen Yatou didn't like troublesome things, looked at the strange machine, and said, "Is oil useful?" ”

"Of course, later chemical, textile, pharmaceutical, transportation. All aspects of social life are inseparable from him, do you say it is important? ”

"Which is more important, it or coal?"

"It's all important, but relatively speaking, it's much easier to mine coal, after all, oil, it's liquid." Wang Yi tried his best to explain in short words.

Knowing where the oil fields are are and being able to exploit them are two different things! In terms of the mechanical strength of Wang Yi's hands now, even if he has a large number of books and materials on petroleum engineering and petroleum machinery, he does not need to think about it in three or five years to really achieve large-scale exploitation of oil fields. Coupled with the development of petrochemical-related capabilities and the training of relevant personnel, Wang Yi feels that it will take at least five years.

It's a long way to go......

"Ah, the fish has taken the bait!" The two girls cheered.
