Chapter 52: The Rice Mill

"A million gold rubles? This Chinese has a lot of appetite. Ni Jiting, the Russian consul in Harbin, did not hide his surprise when he heard Novevich talk about Qin Yu's conditions.

"The appetite is big, but according to what Chenokov said, in addition, I also sent someone to Benxi to evaluate Qin Yu's assets, the value is slightly worse than what Qin Yu said, but the fluctuation is not large, plus the growth potential of the coal mine, the factory and the Huaxing bank, it is indeed worth the price." Novevich said that at this time, it is impossible to make such a huge loan without a certain political interest behind it, otherwise with the income from Qin Yu's assets, Novlavich will be able to make a decision in Taonan, and this matter will have to be decided by the Russian official.

"It's a bit incredible that a commander of a patrol battalion of China's old army can make so much money in a year. What is he borrowing so much money for? Ni Jiting asked.

According to Chonokov, Qin Yu asked him to buy a heavy machine gun several times, Qin Yu has a lot more knowledge than most officials in the Qing Dynasty, the first time he bought the revolver machine gun, the kind of broken copper and iron, in the later transactions did not hesitate to point out, and specified the Makqin heavy machine gun, he bought a total of eight Makqin heavy machine guns from Chnokov. These machine guns helped him eliminate Tian Yuben, Bai Yin Da Lai and other opponents one by one, from an ordinary sentry commander to the current commander. However, since the suppression of the Mongolian bandits, I have made a tentative statement, and he has temporarily lost his intention to continue to buy arms. I guess what Qin Yu wants most is huge wealth, as for the promotion, it is just to escort his assets, but it is worth mentioning that Chinokov has benefited a lot from his cooperation with Qin Yu, and now he looks like a successful businessman in Harbin. Novavich guessed.

"This Qin Yu is quite meritorious, if it weren't too far away, I really want to meet him." Hearing that Chonokov had made a lot of profits, Ni Jiting's eyes flashed.

"Mr. Consul wants to go to Taonan?"

"Of course this is impossible, my going to Taonan will cause the Japanese to be jealous, and the impact is not good, I immediately sent someone to contact Qin Yu, Qin Yu is an extremely powerful force in the old army in the Northeast, and his influence in the Benxi area of Fengtian Province is even deeper, if he falls to the Japanese, the Japanese can control Fengtian Province more easily, which His Majesty the Tsar never wants to see." Ni Jiting stroked the beard on his lips, and didn't know what to think in his heart.

"Look, look, it's out, it's out." At the roar of the rice mill, the millet poured into one large bucket came out of one outlet, and the husk of the rice turned into coarse chaff and came out of another.

"Hey, why is this rice so white, it's so strange!"

"Why is this big guy grinding rice so fast, if you change two people, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in a day or two."

"That's it, it's just such a big guy, how many people have to beat a day's rice."

"Hey, what's on that wall?" Many people saw several officers and soldiers posting notices on the outer wall of the rice milling room.

"Come and take a look, everyone. Lord Qin specially bought a new rice mill from Shanghai, and this year, everyone will beat rice, no rice money, all for free. ”

"Yes, there's such a great thing, it's great, the rice here is white and fast, and it saves several days of effort than before." At the moment, the people who watched the excitement were overjoyed, and there were many discussions.

"This Lord Xiao Qin is really a bodhisattva in the sky, not only drove away the Meng bandit Baiyin Dalai, this is to send soldiers to help us repair the house, and to send life-saving winter food, and now I also get this kind of big rice to help us save time for work, go back and must set up an immortal monument for Lord Xiao Qin, and worship Lord Xiao Qin every day in the future."

"Compared with other machinery, the rice mill can be used when it is installed, and the slotting machine shipped from Shanghai has also arrived, but most of the locals in Taonan Fucheng will not use it, and they will have to hire acquaintances to teach them before the scale can be raised." Tian Helin couldn't help but smile a little when he saw the eagerness of the people on the other side of the rice factory.

"You have to find a way to keep the technicians from Shanghai, and they will repair this kind of rice milling machine and sewing machine, otherwise things will break down in the future, and we can't go to Shanghai to invite the technicians over, even if the price is higher." Qin Yu nodded, the foundation of Taonan Mansion City was blank, and it was really not an ordinary difficulty to develop the manufacturing industry, even if the machinery was bought, no one would use it, let alone repair it.

"Second young master, I don't understand, you wasted so much effort to transport the machinery from Shanghai, this rice is fast and good, why don't you charge money, if the machines you buy with money in the future will be given away for free, second young master, no matter how thick your family foundation is, you can't withstand it." Zhang Shun next to him couldn't help but interject.

"It's just that you don't collect money now, you still have to collect it in the future, there are too few people in Taonan Fucheng after all, every family is busy shaving in the fields, and they can't pull away, adults just want to open a shoe factory, and the textile factory is afraid that the waste boss will not be able to recruit many people, only by letting the labor force in Taonan Fucheng be more liberated from the fields, and the factory can be opened more smoothly." Tian Helin explained next to him that not only the rice milling machine, but also sent people to buy a large number of cultivated cattle from all over the country to rush to Taonan Fucheng, which was also to liberate more laborers from Taonanfucheng.

"That's just one of the purposes. If there is a shortage of people, you can also pull it from other places, and the most important thing is to let the people see the benefits of working with machinery. Efficiency. The development of industry is a long-term process, first of all, let the people have this aspect of awareness, in the future do not need us to promote, they will also spontaneously introduce, and even develop their own various machinery, which is a good sign. Qin Yu smiled, "Junzi, you have one more task in the future." ”

"Second Young Master, you command." Zhang Shun hurriedly said, looking at Yang Xing, Li Chengwen and others followed Qin Yu to almost sweep away the bandits, Zhang Shun was quite envious in his heart, but for the war, Zhang Shun really couldn't raise his interest, and he was so idle at the moment that he panicked, and when he heard that there was a task, he was naturally happy.

"You are responsible for collecting relevant agricultural production tools, I heard that there is a kind of tractor that can plough the land in the great powers, only one person is needed a day, which can be compared to dozens or hundreds of ploughing cattle, and the grain output of one acre of land of the great powers is also much higher than that of the northeast. Buy it directly from a foreigner, the price is very high, although Qin Yu is not short of a little money, but he also has to save money.

"Second young master, I really don't know much about farming." Zhang Shun thought it was a good thing, but when he heard this, he froze and said with a wry smile.

"You don't need to know too much, just find someone who understands and ask." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Xuguang, the brick machine, and the ash manufacturing side, you should also hurry up, so many soldiers under my hands still have no place to live, I have to build the barracks first."

The army is the foundation of Qin Yu's life, and it is essential to maintain the high morale of an army at all times, training, military service, and some daily conditions.

"Don't worry, when the kiln is dug well, the first batch of red bricks will be produced next month." Tian Helin nodded and said, gray and red bricks can not only meet the needs of building a military camp, but also meet the construction of the entire Taonan Mansion City, Tian Helin will naturally not be sloppy.
