After finalizing the matter of immigration with Xiliang, Qin Yu sent a telegram to Taonan, and he went all the way north to Harbin.

"Lord Qin, I didn't expect you, a busy man, to have time to come to Harbin, what a distinguished guest." Ni Jiting warmly greeted Qin Yu at the Harbin Consulate.

"Old friend, before coming to Harbin, I had already met with the Governor in person, and the Governor gave me Baicheng, Kaikai, and Jing'an. The situation is urgent, so I won't go around the bend with you, this time I'm here to ask you for help. Qin Yu said directly.

"Oh? It's a good thing that you have such a close relationship with the Governor of Siliang that your power has expanded. Ni Jiting said with some surprise, it seems that the speed of growth of this young Chinese in front of him is really surprising. However, the greater Qin Yu's power, the more benefits he will get from cooperating with the two in the future, which is a good thing.

"Although my power has expanded a lot, this time the Governor wants me to settle 80,000 hungry people, the food consumed by these hungry people for a year, as well as a place to live, and a large amount of warm cotton clothes needed in the winter in the future, are all a lot of expenses, and I will have to borrow money from you again." Qin Yu said, "It should be your share, I will never lose yours, and I will give you an extra 10,000 gold rubles." ”

"Oh? I don't know what Lord Qin is going to use as collateral this time? Ni Jiting's eyes narrowed, and he didn't reply directly, even with his status, he also has a position in Daosheng Foreign Bank, if there is no suitable collateral, if a political enemy sues him, he will be very uncomfortable.

"The Japanese have been moving more and more recently, and they have come to Taonan to ask me to transfer the ironworks to them. I've been working with your country for a long time, so how can I get too close to the Japanese? Qin Yu said with a smile, "The maximum production capacity of my iron plant can reach more than 50,000 tons, and there are complete sets of infrastructure around the iron plant, plus a newly developed coal mine in Taonan, which should be worth 1.1 million gold rubles." ”

"The ironworks over there?" Ni Jiting was taken aback, "Lord Qin's industry is really surprising, wait, you said you want to buy a lot of grain?" ”

"Yes, you have it?" Qin Yu's eyes narrowed.

"Wait a minute, I'll give you a call and ask." Ni Jiting got up, walked to his office, took the phone and said a few words, and then walked out again, "I've asked, I can raise some food, I don't know how much Lord Qin wants?" ”

"How many do you have? Of course, it's too expensive, and the food I give to the hungry people is coarse grains, which is very cheap, and if you sell me white flour, I am reluctant to give them to them. Qin Yu asked.

"It's enough for 80,000 people to eat for six or seven months, of course, the price is very cheap, I can guarantee this, you can also send someone to inspect the goods first, and then give money, we have cooperated so many times, reputation is very important." Ni Jiting said with a smile.

I don't know where this old man got the food, but looking at his secretive face, I'm afraid that the way he comes will not be very right, whatever, as long as he can pick up a bargain, he will do his again.

"Okay, after returning to Taonan, I will send someone to Harbin to see the grain, and we will settle the payment in batches." Qin Yu nodded. "In addition, the time is urgent, within seven days, I want to hear Mr. Ni's exact reply, beyond the time, I will find another way, and in addition, grain procurement may also change."

After sparing no effort to expand, the deposit in Huaxing Bank alone has reached an astonishing more than 1.7 million taels, in addition to completing the expansion of Huaxing Bank, these money can also be lent to the outside world, taking money from Huaxing Bank or selling rubber stocks can solve the problem, but it is naturally better to get a loan from Lao Maozi.

"Okay, I'll use my connections to get this loan done as soon as possible." Ni Jiting nodded.

Although Xiliang put Jing'an and Baicheng under Qin Yu's rule, but this time to settle the hungry people, Qin Yu still intends to place the hungry people in Taonan, even if these 80,000 people are added, the population of Taonan is only a hundred thousand, and it can still be regarded as a vast and sparsely populated area, but Taonan Fucheng has these 80,000 cheap labor, whether it is infrastructure or factory labor costs, it will be greatly reduced, Taonan did not have an industrial base before, and the goods produced are competitive, and it is not possible to pay a part of the price. The cheap labor of these people is the price. But it's a kind of luck that they can survive the famine.

Ni Jiting was also considered a high-level Tsarist in the Far East, and colluded with several Tsarist military quartermasters, and after exchanging part of the reserve military rations for inferior and old grain, he smuggled out a batch and sold it to Qin Yu, temporarily solving the source of food, and Qin Yu was relieved.

After Xiliang wrote to the imperial court, the local officials quickly drove the hungry people onto the train, lest there were too many hungry people under his rule to make trouble and the official position would not be guaranteed, and the eagerness of the local officials made the number of hungry people who originally went north from the Jinghan line more than Qin Yu wanted, but since the people arrived in Taonan, Qin Yu could not drive them back to Guannei.

However, the extra people made Tian Helin very troubled, and finally under the threat of Tian Helin's stack of burdens, Qin Yu had to send a telegram to Xiliang, and the hungry people had exceeded the number of agreed Lu, and the burden was heavy, so the matter came to an end.

Originally, Qin Yu planned to transfer 50,000 yuan, but later Xiliang raised the price once, and then to the current more than 100,000 yuan, and the plan could not catch up with the changes. In the past, 20,000 people were resettled in thousands of newly reclaimed farmland, and some of them were absorbed by the factories and some of the pastures. But this time it's 100,000.

In order to settle these hungry people, Qin Yu ordered the training of the army to be interrupted, and sent his subordinates to disperse to various places to be responsible for maintaining order, and the patrol army of 3,000 people, plus a security battalion was not enough at all.

"Mr. Wang, this road will be handed over to you, in order to settle these hungry people, I even put on my underwear." The 60,000 hungry people were arranged by Tian Helin to reclaim the famine, otherwise the pressure on next year's grain will be too great, and it will never work to buy it alone. The remaining 40,000 people were all arranged on this nearly 300-kilometer highway from Taonan to Changchun.

Wang Qiqing, whose name is Zhongmin, and Tian Cheng, the first principal of Jiaozuo Road Mining School, are close friends. Jiaozuo Road Mining School was the first road and mining institution of higher learning in the Qing Dynasty. Wang Qiqing was originally invited to serve as a teacher in the Road Mining School, but Wang Yongqing refused to give in because he couldn't get used to the face of the British Fu Company.

"Now that corruption is rampant among officials in various provinces, officials at all levels are eager to suck the blood from the common people, and the adults have even exhausted the entire effort of Taonan to build such a road of hundreds of kilometers and resettle 100,000 displaced people. In the next admiration, this time the road in the next must do their best, be sure not to disappoint the adults. Wang Qiqing said with a little excitement.

"Okay, Mr. Wang can do it if he has this heart, and in the process of building the road, you can see who is worth cultivating, try to bring some students, the manpower is poor, and a road can not meet the needs of Taonan." Qin Yu said with a smile, "As for the expenses of students, Tao Nan can still squeeze out this money." ”

It is too late for officials to make money, where will they spend a lot of money to build roads, foreigners should pay more attention to road repairs, but they can't trust the technicians and technicians of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that Qin Yu attaches so much importance to education and respects intellectuals, Wang Qiqing, who has run into walls everywhere, often felt that what he had learned was useless, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel the excitement that he treated me as a national soldier and I repaid him as a national soldier.
