Chapter 254: Heading to Jilin
PS: (Thanks to the book friend Qingfeng Eagle, the monthly pass of Dragon's Tooth-Blood, and the monthly pass of the previous fat boy soldier and others.) Book friends haven't found out yet, burning to the heart, and the previous book friends went to the past 1 and other people's rewards, there have been more things recently, all of them have been written and stored directly in the manuscript, almost no to the book review area to see, and there is no interaction with readers, say Happy Dragon Boat Festival that is late, and Father's Day is coming, congratulations in advance, I'm afraid I will forget it later. If you haven't been a father yet, bless your father. )
"Even the woolen mill in Taonan, and even leather goods, the winery also took action?" Du Liming was surprised to say that wool spinning and leather goods now contribute more than 10 million profits a year, leading the development of the entire Republic of China in the industry, not only domestically, but also internationally have a huge influence.
"If you are greedy and chew more, you are not completely selling off the shares, you can return the funds slowly, you can maintain a certain influence on it, you must always give others a little room to grow, and you have so much burden on your body, it is good to unload it at all." The industry under Qin Yu has created a certain form of monopoly, although it is temporarily beneficial to the economy of Northeast China, but in the long run, it restricts its vitality for further development. Appropriate investment in some traditional light industry can also increase the enthusiasm of local businessmen. "Among the fields just mentioned, doing a good job is equivalent to owning a mountain of gold." The legend of Rockefeller in the United States, Qin Yu knew something in later generations, because of the monopoly of oil refining in the United States, he accumulated a net worth of more than one billion US dollars, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rich country.
"I started with hundreds of thousands of yuan from bandits, but I didn't expect to be able to lay down such a situation. In retrospect, it's unbelievable. Ding Cheng sighed.
"Is it much? To a certain extent, all that was made was war money, and the Western powers had sucked so much blood on the Chinese nation, and now it is time to return a little bit. The times create heroes, that's what we say. Qin Yu disagreed. Whether it is the Blackjack Group run by Zhang Shun in the United States, or Qin Yu's local industry in Fengtian, they almost all rely on the war to rise. Needless to say, steel, Mukden bullets, artillery shell factories, gunpowder. There is also medicine, which has skyrocketed in demand due to the war. If it weren't for the large-scale withdrawal of investment from the Republic of China by Britain, France and other countries, Taonan's wool spinning and leather goods would not have developed so rapidly in the past two years, and they would definitely have to compete fiercely with the powers in the market.
As for the Blackjack Group on Zhang Shun's side. If it weren't for the war, the gunpowder factory would have almost been killed by DuPont before it was even set up on a large scale, and even airplanes and tanks would never have grown up in such a short period of time, let alone secretly gained control of General Motors. Japan owed about 1.7 billion yen in foreign debt before the First World War, but after the war, Japan purchased wartime bonds of Britain, France, and Russia, and lent 2.77 billion yen to foreign countries. The fiscal situation has improved unprecedentedly. The international trade surplus was more than 3 billion yen.
Japan has benefited so dramatically, in comparison. The Northeast government, in the past, Qin Yu personally added up to hundreds of millions, which was nothing. This is also the time to control Jilin and Heilongjiang is relatively slow, otherwise this number will be even greater.
"There is a good saying, the general trend of the world will be together for a long time. A long time must be divided. After a long battle, people have made up their minds. For the first time in history, the tragedy of the European battlefield will inevitably lead to a large amount of reconstruction work after the war, and the demand for some industrial and agricultural raw materials will skyrocket, which will be the last profit that the Northeast can grab. What does the marshal think? Du Liming proposed.
"Tell me what is in your heart." Qin Yu lit a cigar for himself, Du Liming and Ding Cheng didn't smoke, and Qin Yu smoked by himself.
"The war caused a lot of damage to Europe, people are nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, firewood, rice, oil and salt, oil and salt do not need to be considered for the time being, with Europe's industrial equipment, once the war is armistice, there is no problem to meet their own needs. Flour must be used as the staple food of bread, followed by rice, other cane sugar, milk candy, butter, soybeans, wool, cotton, leather goods, etc., all of which are in great demand by the people of the great powers. If we can purchase these materials in large quantities before the war and form a large-scale stockpile, we will certainly be able to reap great benefits after the war. Du Liming analyzed. In fact, in terms of electrical appliances related to life, the Northeast does not have the strength in this area for the time being, and it is not necessary to think about it for the time being. ”
"Well, you're thinking." Qin Yu nodded and said, a person is at a different level, and the things he sees are different. A big war, production is affected by the war, crop planting is reduced, will inevitably affect the price of grain and other agricultural war areas, with the intensity of the war in Europe, from the ground to the top, German submarines are everywhere in the Atlantic, and there is no way to transport them over in wartime, but once the war is over, more than a billion people in the European war are affected by the war, even if only a few hundred million people really have demand, it is also an unimaginable market.
"It was also inspired by the marshal, and I thought of it only when I was humble." Du Liming said humbly, "If it weren't for the fact that after the European War, Benxi Iron and Steel and Munitions would be facing an imminent crisis, the lowly position would not have thought of the European market so far, after all, it was the great powers that used to do business to the Republic of China, and now the business is done on a large scale, and the lowly position has also been thinking about it for a while." ”
"Just dare to think about it." Qin Yu smiled, "It's still the same sentence, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, there are many people with a lot of strength, since you have this idea, you should take action as soon as possible." In terms of transportation, you also know that the fleet has leased two ships in the United States, and Yingkou Shipyard has received orders for 30,000 tons of ships, two of which are fleets, and the transportation capacity of the fleet has now reached 150,000 tons. ”
"Since the marshal agrees, and the group has a lot of surplus funds, I will greet the people of the Chamber of Commerce earlier."
"This business also has to have a backing, the central government is now diplomatically weak, it seems that the battle to retake the Middle East Road has to be fought beautifully. Enhance the following strong views on the Northeast. Qin Yu said, if a country's strength is not good, the people of the country will be discriminated against when they go out.
"The sooner the war that may break out on the Middle East Road ends, the better, and after a long time, outsiders will doubt the strength of the Northeast, and those Russians living in the Northeast may also have other ideas. At present, the Russians' deposits in Huaxing Bank have reached nearly 10,000 yuan. If this amount of funds is withdrawn and a run occurs, although it will not be able to shake the foundation of Huaxing Bank, it will inevitably hurt its vitality. Du Liming suggested, "I heard that the attack power of the beacon fire is extremely strong, so it is better to do a little more, fly to the head of the Russian army and bomb it wildly, and this matter will not be over." ”
"How can fighting a war be as simple as you say." Qin Yu shook his head and said, "Fengtian's ability to produce aircraft is limited. For the time being, it is unrealistic to expect to produce hundreds of planes at once, and the United States has begun to tighten its arms control due to its own needs to participate in the war, especially tanks, airplanes, and so on. ”
"He is also negotiating with several Russian big-money lenders about deposit agreements, which involve tens of millions of funds. If the war is together, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns again. Du Liming said.
"There's no way around it, it's still the same sentence. As long as the Middle East Road is recovered, it will be enough to return to the original cost. "For the Russian army in the Far East. Qin Yu is still sure.

At the end of the 6th year of the Republic of China, the snow fell exceptionally heavily, and when I walked in the wild, it never reached my knees.
From time to time, you can see farmers clearing the snow on the road, and these farmers are young and strong people who have been recruited from nearby villages.
"Ruixue is a good year, and the next year will definitely be a good harvest." In the procession, a sturdy old man can also be seen wearing a somewhat worn padded jacket. Shovel snow with a shovel.
"Old Yang, he's sighing here again." A man with a round waist in the snow shoveling team couldn't help but laugh.
"You young people are lucky, born in the northeast, I don't know what happened there when I came from western Henan, there were military disasters and man-made disasters. The whole village has a population of one or two hundred, and in two or three years, too many people have been killed by the rebels, and too many have starved to death. By the time I came to the Northeast, there were only twenty or thirty people left in the village, and all the fields where the crops were planted had been ruined, and all of them had been ordered to grow opium, and the situation in other villages in the county was similar. Yang Xitian recalled the difficult period in western Henan, and some cloudy tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.
"It's all in the past, and now it's better, you should think about it well, I heard that your son has joined our Northeast Army, this is a steady errand, and it will be great in the future. In these years, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao want to marry their daughters to soldiers. Another old man with a black goatee comforted that Yang Xitian was tall, his son had a good skeleton and good physical fitness, and he was just in time for the expansion of the Northeast Army, and he was recruited when he was recruited.
"Yes, if only I could have come to the Northeast earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer those crimes, maybe my mother-in-law and my son would survive." Yang Xitian sighed, although he is not rich now, his life can always pass, there is no war and chaos, and there is no hopeless famine.
"If you really want to talk about it, those of us who have broken into Kanto, few of the things we have encountered in the past are good. To be able to come to the Northeast, it is also a blessing from the previous life, the wind and rain of farming are smooth, and those who do not farm can also eat together to work, without being frightened all day long, the family is short of food, and you can also receive relief food from the government, I have been going south and north for so many years, and I have never seen such a good place as the Northeast. ”
"Who is not, from birth to the present, I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen such a good government in the Northeast, some officials in the Guannai regard human life as a mustard, and only the government in the Northeast treats us ordinary people as human beings." The black-bearded old man sighed.
"It's not exactly, in the entire Northeast, not to mention how much Jilin's envy of the Fengtian people was, when Meng Enyuan was in Jilin, although the situation in Jilin was not as bad as in Guannei, many people starved to death every year. It was also last year that Yushuai drove away Meng Enyuan, and our life in Jilin would be so good, otherwise according to the previous policy, most of the grain collected every year has paid rent, and now I am afraid that there are no catties of overnight food at home, and there is no place in my heart. Now others say that Yu Shuai is a Bodhisattva from heaven, who came down to save us poor people who can't eat. Chen Qingsong, who was born and raised in Jilin, said with a smile.
"That's right. If it weren't for Yu Shuai, I'm afraid the current situation in our Northeast would not be much better than that in Guannai, it was not the same before, there was no food, bandits were rampant, the Japanese, and Lao Maozi were rampant. Where can you still see this now. ”
A few people were talking. The city erupted in thunderous cheers in the distance.
"What's going on over there?"
In 1898, the Tsarist Empire coerced and induced the Qing government to submit by force, and agreed to build the 2,400-kilometer-long Middle East Railway with Harbin as the center, stretching from Manzhouli in the west, Suifenhe in the east, and Dalian in the south, with the intention of consolidating its rule in the Far East. And with the Middle East Railway as the center, it continues to invade and swallow China's territory. ”
"In order to build the Eastern Railway, China has spent 100,000 men and sweat, but it has achieved its interests in the Northeast for nearly ten years, and its income has reached more than ten times the cost of the railway. But nothing was gained, and the Eastern Railway brought only shame and oppression to the nation. Tens of millions of people in the northeast have been resentful for many years. Now the belonging of the Middle East Road is determined to be obtained. It is hoped that the authorities of the Eastern Railway of Tsarist Russia will be able to know right from wrong and peacefully transfer the rights and interests of the railway to the Northeast government. For example, relying on their own force, they vainly attempt to continue to forcibly occupy the China Eastern Railway. Hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army also did not hesitate to fight, the shame of the defeat of the army a few years ago, and the unfinished legacy of the martyrs! ”
Changchun City. On the telephone pole with ice hooks, Qin Yu's deep and firm voice in the loudspeaker detonated everyone's enthusiasm.
At the end of Qin Yu's words in the speaker, Qin Yu was already standing on the low city wall of Changchun City, which was a little slippery, looking at Changchun City with a mixture of old and new buildings.
"It seems that this time the marshal is determined to take back the Middle East Road." Wang Yongjiang said beside him. "The marshal is here to cheer up the front-line soldiers."
"Not exactly, Jilin's finances are improving. The progress is quite fast, and in addition to inspecting the front-line troops, it is also necessary to come to you to have a look. I heard that you have formulated a regulation on the development of industry, mining, agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery in Jilin, how much is it expected that Jilin's fiscal revenue will increase next year? Qin Yu asked with interest, the momentum of Fengtian's development far exceeds that of Jilin and Heilongjiang, but if the situation allows, it is best that all provinces are relatively balanced.
"Speaking of the focus or to rely on the exploration of a variety of mineral deposits, Jilin does not have a particularly large coal mine, but there are some reserves in non-ferrous metals and precious metals, especially the molybdenum ore in the Great Black Mountain, which is a material that must be used to improve the quality of steel, although the gold ore is not better than the Mohe River, it is better than nothing, and there are some silver mines, but they are still in further exploration, and they cannot directly make much contribution to Jilin's economy for the time being."
"The effect is slightly faster or agriculture and breeding, etc., the Fengtian model is difficult to replicate in other provinces, Jilin is rich in agricultural products, rich in grain, humble that the establishment of industry, mining and factory is important, but not a day of work, heavy industry Fengtian has been in front, Jilin temporarily lacks the foundation, Fengtian needs to drive, but in the processing of agricultural and sideline products, there is still an article to do, Du General Office is not beginning to lead a part of the Fengtian Chamber of Commerce people to carry out grain accumulation? The lowly position believed that the accumulation of grain was a part, and the profit from the primary processing of grain was much greater. A sound industrial system should not be entirely heavy industry, and light industry can also play an important role in the national economy. For example, the production of canned food is also helpful for the military. The rivers in Jilin can play a huge role in transportation, in the past, due to the limited industrial level, as well as the business environment problems in Jilin, small civil wooden boats are the mainstream, if you can use small steamers, you can greatly reduce the pressure of road transportation. "Wang Yongjiang said." Breeding industry can not only provide meat and poultry, but also can improve the people's living standards, chicken feathers, pig bristles and so on are also very useful things, these techniques are not high, suitable for popularization, Taonan's feed technology is very advanced, it will be introduced to Jilin, Jilin's breeding has a certain foundation. ”
Qin Yu nodded, blindly attaching importance to heavy industry, the people's living standards will not be able to improve, and it will not be able to stimulate domestic consumption, a country's consumption capacity can directly drive employment, as well as the country's economic growth level. The rapid development of heavy industry in Fengtian is due to the rich mineral resources of Fengtian Province on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also due to the fact that Qin Yu has found a way to get relatively strong funds. Mukden's achievements today are also due to years of accumulation, a large amount of loans to Tsarist Russia in the early days, and the benefits of the European war.
The Northeast is rich in wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops, flour, soy products, and dairy products are all things that have a higher added value than the direct sale of original grains, and can also stimulate local jobs. The investment in the processing of these agricultural and sideline products is not large, the scale of strength can be made larger, and the machinery with little money in hand can be bought a little less.
"The export of agricultural and sideline products is indeed a way out, the northeast has a very good arable land base, if Jilin does a good job in this regard, Heilongjiang, Rehe, Chahar have places worth learning from, this time the grain stockpile, those businessmen are still second, the main thing is to get up and take the lead in the government, horses have no night grass is not fertile, people are not rich, although there is a suspicion of speculation, but the purchase of some grain, even if it loses, there is always something here, where to lose. If we can take this opportunity to make a lot of money, we can save tens of millions of people a year or two of struggle. Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Don't worry, this matter will be arranged." Wang Yongjiang nodded.
Inspected several key cities in Jilin, Qin Yu found that although Jilin at this time has not yet developed a very significant industrial system, but agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery have made great progress, all aspects of strength development is relatively balanced, basically still driven by agriculture, with the prospecting team in Jilin to find out more mineral deposits, supplemented by industrial and mining, and supporting factories, Jilin's economy will inevitably grow significantly, and the momentum will not be much weaker than that of Heilongjiang.
After seeing the situation in Jilin, Qin Yu's float arrived at Harbin, the largest city in Heilongjiang and probably the most fierce city in this battle. (To be continued......)
