"The great position is in the body, and there will never be a day of rest. Therefore, the emperor is really a diligent and diligent position, and he must not be regarded as prosperous and honorable. And the descendants of the emperors of the past dynasties rarely have good fruits, and all academic professions are not allowed to be free in ordinary times, so the royal family is difficult to develop, and it is not necessary to avoid sacrificing children and grandchildren to save the country and save the people. ”

As Yuan Shikai met with more than 200 civil ministers and military generals in Huairentang, he made such a short speech and became the emperor, and officially came to the stage from behind the scenes. The turmoil of the great president becoming the emperor instantly became the most important event of the Republic of China.

"Master, this new emperor canonized you as General Shengwu and received the title of viscount." In the past two years, Tian Helin has been in contact with a lot of affairs, and his thinking has gradually become enlightened, and he is not optimistic about the fact that the president will become emperor, and he is quite sarcastic about the central government.

"Forget it, now that the domestic public opinion is down, I have been a courtier for a few years in the previous dynasty, and I don't want to go back." Qin Yu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to squeeze me with this kind of talk, the new batch of Tsarist Russian technicians must settle down, these people are all treasures." ”

"Rest assured, Tsarist Russia has fought for more than a year, and now there is a shortage of domestic materials, and now Tsarist Russia is facing the dilemma that it can't buy things even if it has money, Fengtian is already a blessed land for them, but it's a pity that Tsarist Russia's Siberian railway capacity is not enough, otherwise, this old man's money is really too easy to make." Tian Helin nodded, at this time the fierce war in Europe was in full swing, the battlefield was a place to sell money, and the fight was finance, and now the upper nobles of Tsarist Russia were still arrogant and lascivious, but a considerable number of people below were facing the dilemma of shortage of necessities such as clothing, food, housing and transportation. Whether Yuan Shikai is the emperor or not has nothing to do with him, and he believes that Qin Yu will naturally take care of this.

The number of Tsarist Russia's troops ranked first among the great powers, as high as more than 1.4 million, so many people just eating, drinking, and Lazar was an unimaginable number, and the western seas faced the threat of the German navy, and shipping was greatly affected. Tsarist Russia bought a large number of supplies from the United States. A Trans-Siberian Railway is simply not enough, and the wagons are far from enough. Otherwise, Mukden's products could further penetrate into Tsarist Russia.

"By the way, I heard that the division intends to organize all newly trained recruits into a regular army?"

"Where did you hear that?" Qin Yu glanced at Tian Helin.

"Hehe, no wind and no waves. I didn't deliberately inquire about the news of the military department, but I am very sensitive to the flow of funds, and the division seat has to leave 10 million million, and now the funds for several major projects have been budgeted, except for a large expansion of the army, I can't think of any other possibilities. ”

"Well, Cai Ye escaped from Yuan Shikai's control, this person has deep roots in Yunnan, and I am afraid that he will become the backbone of this anti-Yuan force. The president proclaimed himself emperor this time, and he would inevitably have to clean up a group of anti-Yuan forces by force, and Fengtian was under Beijing's nose to expand a few divisions, and it also saved the new emperor from beating rabbits with grass and destroying them. Qin Yu nodded, in addition to arms procurement, up to 60,000 military shoes. Military uniforms, military quilts. The purchase of towels and other items is a large amount, and these expenses have to go through Tian Helin's side, so naturally there is no need to hide it from him.

"How many divisions will be expanded?" Tian Helin's eyes were about to pop out, if he did it like this, Qin Yu's potential power would really swell to the point of being incomprehensible, "Where did Shizao get so many ordnance?" ”

"Within a month or two. It will arrive one after another. "Before making a copy of the design drawings and sending them to the United States, Zhang Shun began to set up an arsenal for the production of rifles and artillery, and the first batch of munitions had already come out. In addition to selling some to Tsarist Russia, another part will be transported to Mukden, and Shui Lianzhu will also become the main equipment of Mukden's rifles. 、

"Shizuo, the mine over there in Benxi has an annual output of more than 200,000 tons of steel, and it is far from mining its reserves, so let's see if the government can also get a batch of steelmaking equipment." Tian Helin asked tentatively, with the huge profits of steel, Benxi Iron and Steel has become Qin Yu's biggest source of wealth in Fengtian, and if he is replaced by ordinary local magnates, he is afraid that he has already regarded several iron mining areas on the other side of Benxi as his own, where can others be allowed to get involved?

"Well, you look at this matter, the ownership of the Benxi mine was originally owned by the government, and it was put away a few years ago, and all the mineral deposits in Fengtian should have been owned by the government, so you should have transferred a batch of funds from the provincial government to build another steel plant, and there are many wealthy businessmen in the country who have invested in steel in the past two years, and the sentiment is also very high, I think it is also possible to sell mineral development rights to attract a group of businessmen in the customs to come and invest."

"The mind of the master is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Tian Helin sighed in his heart, Duan Zhigui didn't come to Fengtian, Zhang Xiluan also left, now Qin Yu supervises Fengtian's military and political affairs, he is a veritable emperor of the soil, Fengtian's economy is developing rapidly, even if Qin Yu occupies the Benxi mining area, it is nothing, after all, it was like this a few years ago. According to the current market, loose mouth is millions, thousands of benefits are given up, this kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have.

"It is difficult for me to pull the Fengtian iron and steel industry to make great strides forward, and I still understand the reason why everyone collects firewood and the flame is high."

It is better to be happy alone than to be happy, the European war is just a few years old, and now more than a year has passed, the construction of Benxi mining area is very fast, Qin Yu's steel plant dominates, for those slightly smaller mining areas are not very attractive, and it is also necessary to appropriately divide out some of them and attract investment in the Guannai.

Just by introducing the capital power of Kannai, it is expected that the output of Fengtian Iron and Steel will soar further. Qin Yu must also lay out Fengtian's industry in advance, otherwise it will increase the output of hundreds of thousands of tons at once, and if the European war ends, steel will suddenly become a surplus material from a strategic material, and Fengtian's steel industry will inevitably suffer a heavy setback. Now the construction of steel plants can also earn back with profits, and the profits earned are several times that of investment, and they can also increase a large amount of tax revenue for the Fengtian Finance Department, which is also worth it. It's just that if these production capacities can be digested as much as possible, it is unimaginable for Fengtian's future heavy industry.

Since Kannai capital has been introduced to the steel industry, it is also necessary to introduce private capital from shipyards, automobiles, railways, and other major steel eaters. in order to completely revitalize the whole situation.

"By the way, Shizuo, now that Fengtian Road is being built rapidly, the demand for transportation capacity is becoming more and more difficult to meet, and relying on horse-drawn carriages alone has delayed the shipment of many factories."

"I've placed an order for a shipment truck from the U.S. side. 600 vehicles, which will arrive next month, I believe that the situation will be better by then. Speaking of this, Qin Yu is also a little nerve-wracking, there are too few railways in Fengtian, and Jingfeng Road is okay to say, but there is also a large amount of money in the middle that is earned by foreigners, and the Japanese rely on controlling Nanman Road and deliberately raise the price. Qin Yu can't help this for the time being. As for the purchase of these trucks, it is also an expense, if Fengtian has its own car factory, it can not only stimulate employment, but also allow the car factory to make a profit. It's just that during the time of the First World War, Mukden developed quite rapidly, and many problems that were not very acute before were now exposed, and they wanted to go hand in hand. Balancing development is not very realistic.

"And. On the issue of implementing compulsory education in Fengtian, you should discuss more with Liu Jingxuan, Xie Yinchang, and other people from the Education Department, and it is best to form a set of stable plans and implement them in the next two years. Qin Yu suddenly remembered this.

"Compulsory primary school?" Tian Helin's body shook suddenly, and he looked at Qin Yu with some disbelief. If you want to implement compulsory education in the entire Fengtian Province, in the first two or three years in the school building, teachers, and other supporting facilities, there are not millions of people who don't want to get things done. At present, the military expenditure of the regular army in Mukden adds up to four or five million a year. Of course. Recruit training and training of the 30,000 police officers are outside.

"Well, first the junior primary school and the middle school, and then the upper primary school, sooner or later it will be done, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people. I have the conditions, I haven't read anything before. However, the little dolls in Mukden cannot be illiterate, semi-literate, like most of their parents. Qin Yu nodded.

"If you know this idea of the Taoist Master, you have to make Xie Yinchang and Liu Jingxuan crazy." Tian Helin laughed. With Fengtian's finances at this time, it is not a problem to carry out compulsory education while affording the expansion of the army. Benxi Iron and Steel Plant alone contributes millions of dollars to the Department of Finance in a year. With the boom of the economy and the surge of fiscal revenue, the money was stored in the official name of Fengtian Bank, which also made the official name of Fengtian Bank reborn and jumped to the second largest bank in Fengtian Province after Huaxing Bank.

"A few of them, blood is not lost to soldiers." Qin Yu sighed with emotion, literati are also bloody, Xie Yinchang, Liu Jingxuan and others will also devote their life's energy without hesitation to Fengtian education.

"Master, Yan, and Mr. Feng have arrived in Fengtian." When Qin Yu went out after taking care of some more affairs, Wang Yuhai ran over to report.

"Really? Bring them over and call my home and say I'll be back later. Qin Yu's face was overjoyed.

"Senior Commander Qin!" Generally, students from Fengtian will directly call Qin Yu as their teacher, until now, Qin Yu is only temporarily supervising Fengtian's military and political affairs, and has not yet corrected it, so his subordinates still continue the old name.

"Come, sit, I'll wait for you to come back, but I've been waiting for a long time." Qin Yu joked, "If you don't come again, you can't say that you have to send someone to pick you up." ”

"Master Qin's attention really flatters me." The two returned from studying in the United States, wearing a relatively enlightened suit, Yan Yuwen wore a pair of eyes, and Feng Zhengxing looked a little younger.

"No way, Fengtian needs talents like you, you may not know, the current Fengtian Province, there are more than 200 cars and more than 800 transport trucks, and I have placed an order for 600 cars in the United States, these cars may not be able to meet the needs of Fengtian's transportation capacity growth, of course, with the growth of this car and truck, the demand for gasoline has also skyrocketed. In addition, the heavy oil required for ship transportation is also a trend in the future, and Fengtian must establish its own petrochemical enterprises, opening a precedent for the industry of the Republic of China, so that the demand for gasoline, diesel and kerosene in Fengtian, Shanghai and other places is not false to foreign demand. What do you think about the establishment of petrochemical enterprises, which indirectly creates wealth, also pulls local employment units? ”

"How much money does Shizuo plan to invest in building a chemical plant to refine oil?" Yan Yuwen asked.

"The first tranche is 2 million yuan, which does not include the money for the purchase of crude oil. Further investment in the future will depend on the situation, and will increase if the demand for oil increases. Qin Yu said.

"Thank you, Master. We will do our best to build the petrochemical industry in Fengtian. ”

Yan Yuwen and Feng Zhengxing glanced at each other excitedly, it was rumored that Qin Yu was rich in the world, and what he said was true, just building a chemical plant could come up with such a huge amount of money, and the freighters transporting crude oil were thousands of tons. The transportation of tens of thousands of tons, the purchase of crude oil alone, is also an astronomical amount for ordinary people.

Both of them have worked in Mobil, and even if they are yellow people in the United States, they have advanced education, and they can work hard at the beginning, and they can also be reused later.

It has always been the wish of the two of them to return to China after completing their studies and applying what they have learned. It's a pity that the foundation of the Republic of China in the petrochemical field is almost blank, in addition to the need for a small amount of kerosene, the demand for gasoline and diesel is not high, even if they return to China, what the two of them have learned is useless, but Qin Yu provides them with a broad platform.

"Ha Luha, okay. In the next year or two, Mukden will launch its own car production line. Based on the current Fengtian foundation, oil, as a new fuel, not only has broad prospects, but will also be related to the lifeblood of a country in the near future. Qin Yu nodded.

On the blue sky, the golden sun shines. The frost of the morning melts away. However the cold of the morning.

"Hiss-" Ba Yuzao, Wang Xiaofeng, Wang Zhu, Ma Tianhao, Zhou Zhongyi and other top students of MIT. Look at a giant plane on the flat grass in front of you.

Compared to this one, the planes I have seen before can only be regarded as a stunted tiny.

"This, where did this guy come from, it's so big." Wang Zhu is a little not fluent in speaking, Ba Yuzao, Wang Xiaofeng and several people were originally together, they used to study in the United Kingdom, because of the European war, several people transferred to the United States, Ma Tianhao, Zhou Zhongyi is a Fengtian student.

"This is a four-engine bomber from Tsarist Russia, designed by a Tsarist Russian named Sikorsky. It is now the only kind of aircraft that can be used in Tsarist Russia, as an old power, although the industrial base is weaker than that of other countries, but the design concept of this heavy bomber, the bomb load is very advanced, and among the belligerents, it is not inferior to the heavy bombers of Britain and Germany. ”

Zhang Shun stood aside with his hands behind his back, although this big guy is too huge and easy to become a ground rake, and it also has the disadvantage of being inconvenient to operate, but as the first type of strategic bomber in the world, there are still many commendable places. In the case of a very tight supply of weapons to Tsarist Russia, being able to get this big guy from Tsarist Russia has exhausted Chasayev's brains. It took nearly five months in terms of time alone, and it was impossible to ship the whole plane out, and every month a little bit of parts were deducted from the aircraft factory Rick, and only later did the plane be put together. However, Qin Yu also paid enough for this plane, and in the case of the increasing depreciation of the ruble, the money paid to Chasayev alone reached an astonishing 570,000 oceans, not including the transportation cost to the United States, and the expenses before and after could buy dozens of planes. It can be regarded as the most expensive aircraft in the world so far.

Zhang Shun shook his head, in his opinion, this is probably the most loss-making business that Qin Yu has done, but the newly established United Arms Company needs its own fist products, and it will take a long time to catch up with rifles and artillery compared to local arms companies. DuPont's layout in arms was not comparable to the Blackjack consortium at this time. The United Arms Company under the Blackjack consortium must use several sharp weapons to pry the door of the US military, and only when it has a certain say in American politics and military power can it have the confidence to confront the powerful DuPont. Zhang Shun is naturally not clear about the direction of the development of weapons, but Qin Yu, a descendant, even if he is ignorant, knows how deep the influence of tanks and aircraft on the pattern of war is.

At this time, the United States had zero base on tanks, and there were few outstanding aircraft. Blackjack has already taken the lead in these two guys, and the American artillery is not very good, but the performance of the Springfield-style rifle is good. DuPont's arms company is only large, but it does not have very top-notch products, and there is still a chance to catch up.

"Tsarist Russia has brought all the excellent bombers in service, as well as the previous Italian-made Ca30 bombers, the company's background is really amazing." Wang Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh that the weapons produced by the warring countries are not enough for their own use, so where can they take care of exporting. If there is no certain exchange of interests, it is not possible to get such an aircraft to the United States.

"By the way, why don't you call John and the others?" Zeng Yijing couldn't help but ask, in addition to a few Chinese in the Golden Eagle Aircraft Factory, there are also some other Caucasian engineers, who are also high-achieving students at MIT.

"There are several aviation research laboratories in the company, and they have been assigned to other research laboratories, whether it is Ca30 or Ilya in front of them? The Muromets heavy bombers are very advanced bombers for the United States. Besides, the company should not only engage in bombers, fighter planes, and transport planes, and it is not conducive to the rational use of resources if too many people are placed in a research room. ”

By setting up different research laboratories to recruit talents from American universities, and then rationally deploying people who are engaged in fighter planes or bombers, according to Qin Yu's meaning, the Blackjack Group will not only establish its own airline, but also acquire other aircraft manufacturing companies in the United States to achieve control over its equity.
