Chapter 165 Five-Year Industrial Plan

@@@@

"Go to work."

Daye in the early morning, ushered in a new day, the ragged miners are particularly excited today, many people came to the mine early to get the number plate, many people still can't believe it when they take the number: "This start pay is really doubled?" ”

"The old rule, calculated according to the quantity, not only is there no minimum limit, but the price per load is doubled compared with before, and you can do more and get more."

"Okay, great!" The old miners were teary-eyed, many of them have been working here since they were young, and they have shed blood and sweat for the development of Daye for more than ten years, but not only did the wages not rise, but the Japanese also forcibly stipulated the minimum number of mining per day after they came, and they did not even have wages, and they could only barely support their families every day. But today is different, the minimum number has been abolished, the salary has doubled, and you can get as much money as you sweat! Many people even think that they should be able to add new clothes to their children at the end of the year, and those who have children in the family are even ready to grit their teeth and work hard for a year or two.

As the copper whistle sounded, everyone poured into the mining area, and the sound of slogans and machines seemed to be much louder than before.

Some people are happy and naturally some people are resentful, batch after batch of brightly dressed parasites on the wharf, parasites parasitic in the mine are carrying burdens and preparing to leave, most of these people are overseers sent by the Manchu princes and Baylors, Sheng Xuanhuai originally contracted Han Yeping, in order to win over the powerful and steadily turn Han Yeping into a golden rooster that lays eggs, and sold many shares to them at a low price. These people have made use of Daye's iron, coal, copper and other resources to set up many private factories, not only reselling resources to make huge profits, but also intensifying the exploitation of miners, which has become a cancer.

Previously, because of Japan's relations, the Wehrmacht had not moved them, making Daye more like a country within a country, and these people thought that Yang Qiu was afraid of Japan, so they became more and more rampant and exploited unapproved mining areas without authorization. But today, they weren't so lucky! After the teaching regiment took Daye, the 1st Division and 3rd Brigade quickly followed up and controlled all these people, not only the millions of liquid funds on the books were confiscated, but the machinery and equipment were also confiscated, and finally even the people were strictly ordered to leave the country.

"What do you see? Get out! ”

A few of the overseers who were usually powerful and powerful seemed to be reluctant to give up, and as soon as they stopped, they were smashed with the butts of their guns by the soldiers who were in charge of monitoring the departure, and one of them still had some temper, full of swear words and swearing, but before the people next to him could stop him, several soldiers rushed over, carried him to the river, tied him to the trunk of a tree, not only gagged him with stinky socks, and finally put a horsewhip in a conspicuous place.

The soldiers didn't kill him, but everyone knew that this guy wouldn't live long! In the early years, with the support of the Japanese, I don't know how many miners were beaten and scolded by him, but now people put a horsewhip on the side, needless to say, they know what it means. Sure enough, a miner who had been beaten by him walked out with blood-red eyes, grabbed a horsewhip and slapped his head and face, and the first person stood up, and more miners who had been beaten by him also joined the ranks of condemnation, and within a while, this former arrogant overseer was drawn to a bloody blur.

In addition to them, nearly 100 Japanese staff stationed in Han Yeping also boarded the river ship at gunpoint of the soldiers, and their departure also represented the complete failure of Japan's dream of controlling Han Yeping. The "Han Yeping Status Treaty" reached two days ago stipulates that Han Yeping belongs to the state property of the Republic of China, and the central government has the right to dispose of it, but after Yang Qiu bought all the shares, it has actually become the third behemoth in the three provinces after the Hubei Industrial Company and the Sichuan Industrial Company. Although Japan also obtained the right to purchase 30,000 tons of parity iron ore per year after pressure from Britain and the United States, everyone knows that compared with the previous 100,000 tons of carefully selected iron ore per year, 30,000 tons cannot support a country that aspires to be strong.

On the Lion Rock, Yang Qiu handed over the telescope to Lei Meng, the return of Daye, the huge fleet composed of more than a dozen ore transportation river ships such as Hanping, Chuqiang, Hanshun, Hanxing, etc., as well as the Hanyang Iron Works, the coal mine in Pingxiang, Jiangxi, and the future generations are also a rich wealth enough to cause war! Finally got it all back. So he turned his head excitedly to look at Tang Shaoyi, who was dressed in a long shirt and did not take back Han Yeping, who played a key role, and thanked him to the end: "Yang is the people of the three provinces, thank you for the help of the prime minister." ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled freely, glanced at Yang Du and Wu Tingfang beside him, and said with a smile: "Inspector Yang is not polite, it is also a blessing for the Chinese people that Han Yeping can take it back, Tang is just pushing the boat down the river." I just hope that you will not be embarrassed by Sheng Xuanhuai, although he is wrong, but he still has merit in creating the country's modern industry (). ”

Tang Shaoyi was able to persuade Sheng Xuanhuai to hand over the equity, and the most important thing was that he promised to ensure the safety of Sheng Xuanhuai and his family. After being able to get Han Yeping back, Yang Qiu naturally wouldn't pursue those details anymore, and nodded and said, "Prime Minister rest assured, since Yang Mou promised something, he will never go back." ”

"That's good, that's good." After Tang Shaoyi said two sentences, his eyes turned to the lively mine again. He still doesn't know if he was right or wrong to do this, helping Yang Qiu get back Han Yeping means the end of his political career in the north, what made him make this decision? Even he couldn't tell.

Yang Du didn't have so many troubles, in fact, he had already seen that Yuan Shikai was already dissatisfied with Tang Shaoyi, thinking that he, the prime minister, had too many constraints, and Tang Shaoyi pursued the Western set of things after coming to power, which was incompatible with conservative ideas in the north, so it was only a matter of time before he stepped down, and said with a smile: "I heard that the envoy is going to replan Daye, I wonder if you can let me wait and listen?" ”

Yang Qiu glanced at the personable man, and although the two didn't talk much, they still had a good impression of each other. Only by returning to this era can we understand that no matter what this generation has done, it is not a kind of courage to dare to rush left and right in the cage, and dare to find a suitable path in the thorn-ridden old China. And his dream of being an emperor is not useless, at least he understands better than others that this country needs power! It's just that he doesn't have enough understanding of the party, or he is disappointed in the Kuomintang, and in the end he can only return to the dead road of the emperor's centralization.

Anyway, Daye's new project will come out soon, and there is no need to hide it, so he nodded to Kuang Jingyang.

Kuang Jingyang, the minister of the Ministry of Mineral Resources of the three provinces, is now in high spirits, and said excitedly: "Hanyeping will be transformed into Hubei Iron and Steel Complex, in addition to Lion Rock, we have planned to merge Daye Lingxiang Iron Mine and start mining before the end of the year, and are also preparing to merge the copper mines of Longjiao Mountain, Qifeng Mountain, Fengsandong, Tiantai Mountain and Chima Mountain into Hubei Copper Company." The construction of a new mineral sands railway from Xiangbi Mountain to the Shenjiaying River via Zhangru and Xiaopu will start next month, and the construction of a new waterway and a new wharf will also be started, and the patrol will ensure that 5,000-ton sea vessels can come and go smoothly all year round, and Daye will gradually build a new city centered on iron mines, coal mines, cement factories, and power plants.

The renovation of Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant will start after the arrival of American equipment next month, and all the steel equipment will be new, and the old equipment of the steel mill will be shipped to Chongqing for technical transformation and upgrading and expansion into Chongqing Iron and Steel Group ()! Three large coal mines and two iron ore mines have been discovered on the Qijiang River in Sichuan, which will be merged into the Chongqing Iron and Steel Company. The coal in Pingxiang and the copper mine in Dexing will be transformed into the Jiangxi Mining Company, and the person who took over has already gone, and he also greeted Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, and will never allow private mining and sale again!

According to the five-year plan of the Inspector, the resources of the three provinces and Guizhou will be gradually integrated, put an end to the rotten digging and mining of small private factories, and learn from the United States to support a number of enterprises to become bigger and stronger! Within five years, the steel output of Hubei Iron and Steel Complex will reach 500,000 tons per year, and Chongqing will reach 200,000 tons. The annual output of iron ore should exceed 3 million tons, and the copper company should also reach an annual output of 200,000 tons, 5 million tons of coal, 3 million tons of coke, and 50,000 tons of manganese. In addition, we will expand the Daye thermal power plant, two hydropower plants in Sichuan have already been selected for construction, and the Hankou power plant will also be expanded. ”

In the gushing words, Tang Shaoyi and others were also shocked by Yang Qiu's ambitions, but if you think about it carefully, this is not an unattainable number, at this moment, Han Yeping's annual steel output has reached 70,000 tons, and pig iron is 100,000 tons. Coupled with the fact that the United States provided all the equipment for a medium-sized steel plant, as well as the technical guidance of dozens of steel experts, it was not impossible. What made Yang Du's heart palpitate even more was that if this plan was really realized, what would the north do to confront him in five years? As his ambitions grow bigger and bigger, the contradictions between the north and the south have become irreconcilable, and a great war is obviously gradually fermenting and brewing!

Yang Du and Wu Tingfang went to Nanjing to introduce Han Yeping with the vision of the country's industry and worries about the future war, and then returned to Beijing from there, but Tang Shaoyi did not accompany him, he had already sent a telegram to Beijing to submit his resignation on the grounds of health, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was going to throw himself into Yang Qiu's arms.

After watching the river ship slowly leave the dock, Miao Luo walked over with a list of Japanese prisoners to be handed over to the Japanese side, and the girl who grew up in the United States was invited by Yang Qiu to be her personal assistant because of her resume at the University of San Francisco and her deep background in court.

What is a Personal Assistant? Everyone smiled.

The white shirt of the traditional cheongsam of the Republic of China at this moment makes her look much more free and tidy, and her slender legs are more attractive because of the straight-leg pants, which makes Yang Qiu stunned and stupid, as if she saw a white-collar OL crossing over to her side (). Miao Luo's cheeks were flushed, and he secretly scolded him in his heart for his hateful eyes, but his heart was beautiful, and he said lightly with white eyes: "Don't look at the list yet." ”

Yang Qiu hurriedly shifted his attention to the list, but when he saw a name, he suddenly froze! How did he end up on the list?

Tang Shaoyi has been paying attention to Yang Qiu, and when he saw him and Miao Luo's eyebrows, he also remembered the scene when he was young, and he could see that his mouth suddenly opened slightly, and his eyes stared at the list, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was any suspense in this list of Japanese prisoners? He asked, "Why is Inspector Yang surprised?" Could it be that there is an old man in this? ”

Yang Qiu has no old Japanese people, but after he learned that he became a patrol envoy of the three provinces, many classmates from Shanghai came to defect back then, but the name on the list was too unexpected for him! How could this guy Ishihara appear in the Hubei Dayetun Army? Yue Peng was immediately called, and the latter said after seeing the list: "I was caught in the Japanese garrison, according to his own words, he was a second lieutenant of the Japanese army in Korea, and he came to Hubei for a tour, but this guy is very strange, because when we caught him, he was being guarded by several Japanese soldiers, and when we saw our soldiers, he was very happy to be taken prisoner, but his two companions were killed in battle." ”

"Aren't the Japanese soldiers always brave? How can there be such war-fearing people? Tang Shaoyi was also curious, he had seen the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army with his own eyes during the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Russo-Japanese War deepened this impression, so he also felt very strange about this kind of anomaly.

Yang Qiu smiled secretly in his heart, if this guy is afraid of war, I'm afraid that few people in Japan will dare to call him crazy, he just doesn't want to fight this kind of war that must be lost, and this guy obviously doesn't want to die in vain!

"Leave him behind and say he's missing. It's a big deal to lose a sum of money to Japan, and you must not put him back! Yang Qiu flicked his pen and ticked off Ishihara's name in everyone's surprise
