A construction site, East Incheon, across the sea from Wolmi Island, is a huge construction site at this time, and busy figures can be seen everywhere on the construction site, thousands of laborers from Shandong, Hebei and other places, according to the planning of European urban planners, build the framework of the city, although the framework seems to be a little rudimentary, or even just a simple rammed earth road with stone rollers weighing several tons, but at least in some way, a city is rising.

In the port, tens of thousands of square meters of timber transported from the Yalu River are piled up on the port, and sawmills sawn it into the wood needed on the construction site, and in the industrial zone planned in the framework, there are many wooden factories and workshops of small factories and workshops such as match factories and tanneries. A large cement rotary kiln is being installed.

Finance is the perpetual motion machine of industry!

Standing on the construction site of the fine cotton factory, looking at the cement rotary kiln, Tang Haoran really understood the meaning of this sentence, after the first loan of up to 3 million taels from the Bank of North Korea was in place, he was able to build many factories that were only stored in the plan with unprecedented funds, just like this cement plant, the initial planned investment was only 100,000 yuan, and the daily output was only 2,000 barrels, and now the new design has been ordered, and the daily output will exceed 5,000 barrels after it is put into production.

Cement is inconspicuous, but it is a necessity for the construction of the special zone, and it is necessary for the construction of factories and buildings. As for the bridges, gates, and rivers, and various projects of the sea pond. It is inseparable from cement. According to the estimates of construction engineers from Germany and Belgium in the Special Economic Zone Planning Office, the Special Economic Zone will need 50 to 1 million tons of cement in the next 10 years, and even the cheapest Japanese cement will cost tens of millions of yuan. In the face of such a huge expenditure, Tang Haoran naturally would not sit idly by and watch the outflow of money and profits, so this fine cotton soil factory will be the first batch of modern factories in the Special Economic Zone to obtain the company's investment. Maybe. Even if the annual output of the fine cotton soil factory with additional equipment and increased production capacity is only more than 30,000 tons, it can barely meet the needs of the special zone in the next three or four years, and the production capacity will be further increased in the future as the technology matures.

"Mr. Kunde, when will the factory be ready for production? How long does it take? ”

Standing in the construction site, looking at the rotary kiln being installed, Tang Haoran said with some eagerness, this can't help but be in a hurry, now all places need cement, even because the Datong River is about to freeze. For the smooth construction of winter, just yesterday. The company even had to buy 3,000 tons of cement from Japan to use in the coal mines and coal terminals near Nampo and Pyongyang.

Every ton of cement is a lot of silver!

As long as I think of the silver earned by the Japanese, Tang Haoran is a pain in the flesh, but there is no way, now in addition to Japanese goods in the entire Far East, the cheapest cement is produced in Qingzhou, Macau, but compared with Nissan cement, it is more than two percent more expensive, and the quality of the two is similar, if you add freight, it can be nearly three percent more expensive.

"Lord Tang, if it is a qiē shun lì, the No. 1 furnace of the factory can be put into production in April next year at the latest!"

Kunde said solemnly, even two months ago, he didn't believe that a factory with a daily output of 1,000 barrels of fine cotton soil could be put into operation within half a year, but here it has become possible, to be precise, it is the Tang Lord in front of him who has made a qiē possible, and his method is very simple - invest enough manpower! And as early as when it ordered equipment, that is, according to the drawings provided by the equipment supplier to build the plant, first built the foundation of the plant, in the plant wall has not yet been completed, the ground in the room has been completed, just like at this time, the roof steel beam of the plant has not been installed, but 70% of the equipment has been installed.

With enough manpower and advanced construction methods, the original 11-month construction period was finally compressed to half a year, and even Kunde did not doubt that if the power plant was put into operation and the electric lights were lit up in the Special Zone, he might even choose to work day and night, so as to speed up the construction of the factory.

"Okay, on April 30 next year, for each day in advance, the engineering team can get a bonus of 200 yuan, the same ......"

Before Lord Tang finished speaking, Kunde said with a smile.

"For every day of delay, we will have to pay a fine of two hundred yuan, believe me, Lord Tang, before April 30, your factory will definitely produce qualified fine soil!"

The only hope of the engineering team of each project is to speed up the construction progress as much as possible under the premise of ensuring quality, so as to obtain bonuses and at least avoid paying fines.

"Believe me, Mr. Kunde, one day, you will feel honored to participate in the construction of the Special Administrative Region, because ......"

Looking at the construction site in front of him, Tang Haoran's eyes were full of expectation, and his tone was full of pride.

"We are creating a history here, where you will personally participate in the awakening of an ancient empire, and every brick and tile here has your credit......"

The work of the Communist Youth League in later generations made Tang Haoran better at inspiring people, even for foreigners like Kunde, and even compared with the Chinese at this time, these foreign devils paid more attention to personal honor, and Tang Haoran would never be stingy with honor that did not cost money.

"In order to commend Western experts who, like Mr. Kundeok, have worked hard for the construction of the Incheon Special Zone, the Korean Unified Supervision Office will hold a grand banquet at the end of the year to award medals to Western experts in recognition of their achievements!"

What the!

As Tang Haoran expected, as soon as his words fell, Kunde's eyes suddenly opened, and his face was full of surprise.

"Lord Tang, this, is this true?"

If it was a medal issued by the Japanese, Kunde did not think it was strange, and Japan knew very well what Europeans wanted to get when they came to Asia in addition to money. But the Chinese - the Chinese are extremely stingy with the rewards given to foreigners, they may be far more generous in money than the Japanese, but they are unwilling to give foreigners the honor that they need when they return home - the evidence of their trip to the East to show off to their family and friends! But in this regard, the Chinese are extremely stingy.

And now Lord Tang, the Korean commander sent by China, is extremely rare to give them the honor they expect, how can this not surprise him.

"Don't be so happy, Mr. Kunde, after all, only a few people can be awarded medals, and only the most distinguished people can be awarded ......"

deliberately sold the guanzi, Tang Haoran said with a smile.

"Get a higher reward, my friend!"

While stretching out his right hand, Tang Haoran still had a smile on his face.

"Believe me, here, as long as you have made your own efforts for the construction and development of the Special Administrative Region, then, as the commander of the DPRK, I will definitely not hesitate to receive the reward you deserve!"

What do they deserve?

Because of his understanding of the history of the late Qing Dynasty, Tang Haoran knew that most of these foreign devils had complaints when they left China, and a large part of these complaints was that they thought that they had not received the corresponding honor, and even this was the reason why many of them were superficial, they only regarded China as a place to make a profit, because they did not believe that this land could bring them honor.

In addition to generous personal treatment, there is also reputation, since it is not stingy in money, then in terms of reputation and honor, why can't it be "generous"? In the case of later generations - reputation is cheaper, but the same reputation is the most priceless. And this is exactly the misunderstanding of the late Qing Dynasty, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is the kind of psychological blame with extreme self-esteem and extreme inferiority.

After equaling Gengzi, the Eight-Nation Coalition completely lost the last bit of self-esteem of "my Great Qing", and it seemed that everything was easy to do, but the problem was - it was too late!

When leaving the construction site of the fine cotton clay factory, Li Guangguang looked at the proprietor from time to time, what did he say to the foreign devil on the construction site before? How could that person be so happy? He couldn't understand English, and of course he didn't understand German, so he naturally didn't know how his proprietor fooled the foreign devils, so he asked.

"Your Excellency, you are the ......"

"Flicker!"

Li Guangguang's question made Tang Haoran stunned for a moment, and then replied bluntly.

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's fool and let these foreign devils do their best to work for us, so that we don't just take the silver and don't do it!"

Seeing that he still didn't seem to understand, Tang Haoran continued.

"For example, the two landlords are employing long-term workers, and the wages of one family are high, but the long-term workers are not used to the left and the right are not used to it, and the words are full of contempt. ”

Although this analogy is simple, it is the truth, if it is really in the countryside, a landlord like the former will not be able to hire long-term laborers at all, let alone let people work hard for him.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Let me think about it first, and then I'll talk about it when I think ...... come out."

After saying that, he also knew how things should be done, but what to do Tang Haoran didn't have any plan in his heart, sitting in the carriage, he glanced around, and the special zone in his sight was empty, and there were not many buildings, but this qiē was just the beginning. When the carriage walked towards the southern district, Tang Haoran diverted the topic and said.

"Chongshan, what do you think about that school?"
