When the train arrived in Shengjing, Li Hongzhang, Qin Fan, and Kuang Jiazhi said goodbye to Deng Zixuan and his wife at Shengjing Station because they wanted to go back to the capital to deal with government affairs, and changed to a passenger train in Shengjing to take their wives back to the capital. Deng Zixuan and his wife Wan'er stopped in Shengjing and turned it into a tourist. On this day, accompanied by Mu Sheng, the governor of Shengjing Province, and his wife, they visited the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum. Although the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum in Shengjing is not large, it is well preserved. Under the embrace of greenery, the imperial tomb is quiet, mysterious and antique.

Governor Sheng Jing is a student of the first phase of Shanghai Tongren Academy, and he is a classmate of Kuang Jiazhi. At that time, Mu Sheng did not choose to go out to be an official, but chose to stay in Tongren School as a teacher. After the proclamation of the Chinese Empire, he was appointed mayor of Shengjing and later promoted to governor of Shengjing Province. He is very familiar with Deng Zixuan, he is a late bloomer, a decent official, and a down-to-earth official. Mu Sheng is almost 60 years old this year, more than ten years older than Deng Zixuan.

Mu Sheng's wife is the same age as Wan'er, more than ten years younger than Mu Sheng. When she was in Shanghai, Wan'er and Mu Sheng's wife were familiar with each other, so they didn't feel strangers to each other. Mu Sheng temporarily acted as a tour guide and a docent, after all, Mu Sheng has lived and worked in Shengjing for more than ten years, and basically became the master here. Deng Zixuan is familiar with the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum in Shengjing, and frankly speaking, he is not very interested, and visiting the Imperial Mausoleum is mainly to satisfy Wan'er's curiosity.

After visiting the main mausoleum, Mu Sheng saw that Deng Zixuan was absent-minded, so he proposed to rest in the pavilion. Wan'er was very interested, so she continued browsing with Mrs. Mu. During the break, Mu Sheng said: "President, after more than ten years of development, the production capacity of Anshan Iron and Steel Enterprise has expanded dozens of times, and all the equipment left by the Americans has been eliminated. With the increase in production capacity. Anshan Iron and Steel Enterprise has become a large United Iron and Steel Group. President, although you don't care about the consortium, the consortium is still growing rapidly according to your vision. ”

After the founding of the Chinese Empire. The Deng consortium has invested in Shengjing iron and steel enterprises on a large scale, and has now formed a series of factories such as blast furnaces, rolling mills, plates, machinery factories, and mines. "I stopped in Shengjing just to see Anshan Iron and Steel Enterprise and Fushun Coal Mine." "I'll arrange the itinerary right away and go to Anshan first."

At present, the Tang consortium focuses on heavy industry and chemicals, covering almost all fields. The Sheng consortium focuses on the shipbuilding, machining and textile industries. The Hu Consortium focuses on finance and the salt industry. The three major consortia of the empire almost dominate half of the rivers and mountains. The civilian products produced by the empire are not involved in the three major consortia, and the aforementioned patents for civilian products. In this regard, the empire has formed a development pattern of both heavy industry and light industry, and its development has entered a benign track.

A few days later, the special train arrived at Anshan Railway Station. Deng Chuan, chairman of the Deng consortium and Anshan United Iron and Steel Enterprise, and his wife greeted him at the station. Deng Chuan was one of the 20 disciples selected by Deng Zixuan that year. Due to Deng Chuan's outstanding talent in business management, he was appointed by Deng Zixuan as the chairman of Anshan Iron and Steel Group. Although there are many factories in Anshan, the air quality in Anshan is not too bad, and there is rarely hazy weather throughout the year. At present, all the enterprises of the Deng Consortium basically follow Deng Zixuan's concept, while developing and managing the environment, and no one dares to slack off on Deng Zixuan's strict requirements.

"Lord and Mother! Disciple Deng Chuan paid a visit. It's been a great journey! Deng Chuan bowed. Wan'er stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Deng Chuan's hand and asked for warmth, showing the intimacy between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Deng Zixuan nodded and said, "I feel that the air quality is very good when I get out of the car." I'm happy with that. "Lord, at present, our total investment in environmental governance accounts for 2% of the overall profit, and the integration of scientific research, transformation and testing has been formed, and our waste utilization system has gradually formed."

"Governor Mu has already introduced the general situation, and I am very satisfied with your work when I came to Anshan today to see the fresh air. Let's visit the blast furnace first! Soon a convoy entered the steel plant, blast furnace smelter. The blast furnaces erected side by side were tall and tall, and the huge roar was endless, and Wan'er couldn't adapt to this environment, so she couldn't help but cover her ears with her hands. Steel flowers are splashing, steaming, and workers are working nervously.

"My lord, at present we have 12 blast furnaces, each blast furnace smelts 200,000 tons of steel a year, and 12 blast furnaces smelt 2.4 million tons of steel a year. At present, steel is mainly used to meet military needs and railway construction. According to market research, in the next 10 years, with the private demand for steel, we will successively launch five blast furnaces with an annual output of 300,000 tons, and strive to expand the production capacity by two-thirds. Deng Zixuan wore special sunglasses to observe the blast furnace and said: "Very good, scientific co-ordination, market-oriented, both are indispensable!" ”

In the steel binding workshop, the red steel ingots change shape like noodles in the sonorous sound of the hydraulic press. Deng Chuan introduced: "Lord, these are the two new 2,000-ton hydraulic steel tie-up machines. At present, the Iron and Steel Research Institute is developing a 5,000-ton hydraulic steel binding machine, and strives to put it into production within three years. Deng Zixuan said: "With the large-scale blast furnace, the steel binding machine should also be large-scale. I suggest that the direct development of 10,000 tons of steel tie-up machine should have the thinking of leapfrog development. In this field, we must have the ambition to dominate the world. ”

Later, Deng Zixuan and his wife, accompanied by Deng Chuan and his wife, visited the staff dormitory and staff canteen, Deng Zixuan personally tasted the dishes in the canteen and instructed that the workers must be allowed to eat well, although it is a free lunch, but can not be fooled, and the meals must meet the needs of nutrition. Then Deng Zixuan and his entourage left the steel plant and visited the adjacent plate factory, which has formed a complete industrial chain in Anshan iron and steel enterprises, and more advanced streamlined operations have created the highest efficiency.

In the plate workshop, various types of plates with different thicknesses are continuously formed on the assembly line. Wan Chuan introduced: "Lord, the current plate is mainly to meet the shipbuilding industry, with the development of the automobile industry, we have launched a new ultra-thin plate assembly line, the current automotive industry demand for ultra-thin plates is increasing, next year we will also launch an ultra-thin plate assembly line." As far as I know, Baotou United Iron and Steel Enterprises and Dongguan United Iron and Steel Enterprises are also launching ultra-thin plate assembly lines, and according to market research, they are still unable to meet the needs of civilian use. ”

Deng Zixuan said: "Baotou Iron and Steel Complex, Dongguan Iron and Steel Complex, and Panzhihua Iron and Steel Complex, although they all belong to my consortium, they must introduce a competition mechanism. At present, steel is still a seller's market, but after the end of the war, the demand for steel in the arms industry will be greatly reduced, and the steel field will quickly turn into a buyer's market, so your competition will intensify. The purpose of competition is to make you market-oriented, constantly improve quality, and constantly strengthen yourself. Remember, our iron and steel enterprises must have a long-term vision if they want to occupy the high-end of the world in the future. "Lord, the disciple must redouble his efforts!"

When night came, in a three-story building in Deng Chuan's mansion, Deng Chuan washed the dust for Deng Zixuan and Wan'er. The three-story building in Anshan is basically the tallest building, so sitting in the three-story building, you can enjoy the night view of Anshan at a glance. Anshan at night, the roar of machines, and the splash of tempering reveal the charm of this steel city. Wan'er simply ate a few bites, and then Zhang Luo went upstairs to watch the night view. Mrs. Wan Chuan greeted a pair of children and went up to the roof happily, and the living room became quiet.

Deng Zixuan walked to the window, looked at the night scene with brilliant lights and roaring machines, and sighed: "A modern steel city has appeared in the north, and the scenery at night is more spectacular than Shengjing. Deng Chuan said: "If you want to talk about the Pearl of the Northeast, Harbin is rising. At present, the population of Harbin has reached 700,000, half of whom are foreigners. Jews, in particular, risked their lives to come to Harbin from the west and brought with them a lot of money. ”

At present, Harbin has become a city with distinctive characteristics and strong European style, with a population of more than 300,000 foreigners, and the Jews describe Harbin as the Moscow of the East. I am going to set up a factory in Harbin and start the industrial layout. "No, Harbin has a long winter, and the severe cold period is as long as 5 months, and the cost of building a factory in Harbin is too high. In the future, Harbin will become the largest commercial city in North China and the largest distribution center for commodities in North China. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "In the future, the north of Harbin can allow the private sector to lay out light industrial products, and environmental protection is the top priority of the empire." North China has beautiful mountains and rivers, lush vegetation, and large areas of primeval forests. In particular, the felling of forests should be carried out in a planned manner to preserve the original ecology as much as possible. It is difficult to restore the ecological damage in the cold zone, so the heavy industry north of Harbin is not allowed to be laid out, and I have instructed the relevant departments of the state government to strictly control this. ”

"In the future, I plan to build an eco-tourism area in the Songhua River Basin, the Ussuri River Basin, and the Heilongjiang River Basin, and build a transportation network that extends in all directions. In the summer, people from the south can come here to escape the heat, and in winter, people from the south can enjoy the snow here. With the prosperity of the people, tourism will be an evergreen sunrise industry. If you want to invest, you must engage in tourism in Harbin. "Tourism?" Deng Chuan was a little confused.

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "You may have heard of the tourism industry in the capital, the main income of the current capital is tourism, and the number of people who go to the capital every year has reached 20 million, and it is increasing year by year." North China is still very desolate. The medium- and long-term plan of the state government is to encourage private investment in regional railways along with the construction of trunk railways. And your focus is on building roads, "Roads? Deng Chuan was confused. (To be continued......)
