In the next six months, the resettlement of hungry people has always been the theme, and in winter, the refugee sheds leaked everywhere, the ground froze, and it was very cold. Fortunately, Qin Yu asked Tian Helin to prepare a large number of quilts and old cotton clothes in advance, and there was also a certain amount of coal supply in each shed for heating, so that not many people froze to death.

Winter is the time of agricultural slack, at this time, Taonan Fucheng used the name of the government to borrow money from Huaxing Qianzhuang to build houses for the hungry, and the problem of housing must be solved after all. Most of the things used to build houses are also things produced by the ash factory, the brick factory, and the iron factory on the other side of Benxi, and some trees are cut down, these factories are all Qin Yu's, for Qin Yu, it is just a matter of one pocket in and one pocket out, and next year, when the harvest comes up, he can pay it back.

Many of the newly reclaimed fields have been planted with sugar beet, laying a certain foundation for private sugar factories next year. In the past, the private sugar factory has not been able to run, in the final analysis, or the supply of raw materials is too little, in addition to the transportation is not convenient enough, at this time Taonan has tens of thousands of more road repair troops, in addition to the ash factory machine to the end of the year, ash from the factory in a steady stream of transport, in terms of labor is basically just to pay food, as well as warm clothes, compared with the labor costs of the Western powers, the price is pitifully low.

Every time he saw the smiles on the faces of those road builders holding their nests, Qin Yu sighed more than once that the Chinese people were the easiest to be satisfied.

"Lord Qin, you are really the busiest person in the world." In the most prosperous street of Taonan Fucheng, the branch of Daosheng Foreign Bank, a three-storey building full of Tsarist style is located, and it can be regarded as the most ornamental building in Taonan from the appearance alone.

"No matter how busy I am, I have to take the time to come to you to have a look, old friend, welcome to Taonan, we are close, and it will be more convenient to borrow money from you in the future." Qin Yu warmly shook hands with Novlavich and said.

"Yes, it's easier for me to refuse if I'm closer." Novlavich heard Ha Lu Ha Da laugh, the laughter stopped for a while, Novlavich said with some admiration, "I have been in the northeast of your country for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen someone who can develop a dilapidated small village and town into a small city that has begun to take shape in just two years, Lord Qin, you have created a miracle." ”

"Give me some time, this miracle will become even bigger, and in the future, Taonan will be connected with Qiqihar, Harbin, Changchun and other cities by rail, and Taonan will become one of the economic and industrial centers of the entire northeast." Qin Yu is quite confident that in the future, the woolen and leather manufacturing centers of the entire Northeast and even the entire Republic of China will be Taonan, and Qin Yu is not in vain for more than two years.

Woolen mill two years successively re-run machinery, additional investment together reached more than 500,000 taels, although the profit at this time is only more than 100,000 taels, relative to the huge amount of investment, simply low pitiful, in the Qing Dynasty industry blank era, the profit of running an industry is still very high. Qin Yu's oil mill on the side of Benxi, the original investment in the flour mill only added up to 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, and the cost was recovered in the first year, and there was a surplus, and now it can earn more than 60,000 taels a year, and the growth momentum is very good.

In addition, the investment of the leather shoe manufacturing factory has also reached more than 400,000 taels, and the money is basically borrowed from Huaxing Qianzhuang. The profit in a year is only seventy or eighty thousand taels.

However, compared with the growth space of the broader leather goods, wool industry, Taonan, which had no experience at all, was still in the run-in period at this time, after some lessons, absorbing valuable experience, and in addition to the ranch also initially summed up the trick of raising rich wool. After more than a year, whether it is in the workers, machinery, or wool supply, as well as the distribution channels, have accumulated a preliminary foundation from the original immaturity, once the production capacity explodes, the profits generated will be far from the two industries of oil extraction and flour. With the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia as the foundation, leather goods and wool spinning can become one of the leading industries in Northeast China.

"I'm very happy to witness the miracle created by Lord Qin." Novlavich could feel that the young man in front of him had an imposing and confident look that other Qing officials did not have.

An officer and soldier rode over at a gallop.

"My lord, someone from my hometown has come."

"yes, I'll be back right away." Qin Yu nodded, and then confessed to Novlavich.

"Big brother, why are you here?" Far away from the house, Qin Yu saw Qin Cheng wearing a mink coat, and walked in with a smile. "Yo, Qin Jian and Cousin Cheng are also here."

"You're really busy, I've said I'm here today, and I can't see you here." Qin Cheng made a joke.

"An acquaintance of Daosheng Foreign Bank opened the branch to Taonan, and he had to go to the scene." Qin Yu explained, "Since I'm here, I'll take you to eat roasted whole sheep today, and ask the old Mongolian chef to roast it, and the taste is much stronger than what we have eaten in Gaizhou." ”

"Brother Yu has something, don't blame Brother Cheng, what do your family do about this little thing." Cheng Ming said a good word for Qin Yu.

"Second brother, your movements here in Taonan are really not small, and I can also hear your name as a good person in Gaizhou." Qin Chengdao, "My parents were also happy to hear it, you wrote back and said that you would not go back for the New Year this year, and my mother specially asked me to come to Taonan for a trip a year ago." Qin Jian and Cheng Ming came over to play for a few days if they didn't have anything to do, if you still have a place here, they will come to Taonan after the New Year next year. ”

"Yes, Brother Yu, I'm not interested in reading and writing, I feel dizzy when I see a book, so you can get me into the army, even if it's a small soldier." Qin Jian hurriedly said, and Cheng Ming next to him had the same look in his eyes.

"It's okay to come to the army, but if you want to have a career in the future, even if you are a soldier, you must be able to read and write. It was only in the past two years that the revolutionary party made trouble, and Lu Shisheng was somewhat neglected. You can come to be a soldier, but the army is not enjoyable, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not taking care of you are relatives, those people under me have been born and died on the battlefield with me, one will be incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, if you don't have the ability, I will not put their lives in your hands and command. Otherwise, if I die one day, what face will I see when I go down? ”

Qin Yu first gave Qin Jian and Cheng Ming a preventive shot, "But as long as you can endure hardships and learn a skill, there will always be no one in the army to step on you, and I will not stay in Taonan all the time in the future, and there will be opportunities." ”

"The second brother is right, those Qiu Ba in the army, if they don't have some skills, they can't be suppressed by relationships alone, if you two really want to be soldiers, you must also be mentally prepared." In the end, it is his own brother, Qin Yu's words were harsh, Qin Cheng immediately said in the circle next to him, "But second brother, Qin Jian and Cheng Ming have no experience in being soldiers, you are from here, and you are your own siblings, so you must give more guidance at ordinary times." ”

"This is for sure, the family does not speak two words, as long as a certain amount of training is completed in the army, in the future, I will find a way to send Qin Jian and my cousin to the military academy of foreigners to study, the old routine of the green battalion soldiers in the imperial court is no longer good, and now the imperial court is also busy training the new army, following the example of the Western powers, learning the marching formations of the foreign powers, and practicing all kinds of new weapons. With this ability, let alone in the Northeast, even if you put it in the capital, it is also the No. 1 talent, and I am now also limited by my background, if I am a foreign military academy student, I will not still be an old army commander, and a new army commander is stable. "The status of the new army is completely different from that of the old army. A new military association, the front is enough to defeat Qin Yu's current strength two or three times, artillery is the god of war, a round of artillery down, Qin Yu's people will suffer heavy losses.

"Brother Yu, don't worry, since you are in the army, of course we can't embarrass you, otherwise we won't have the shame to stay in the army." Cheng Ming and Qin Jian nodded.

"Okay, you have to have this kind of momentum and self-confidence, in fact, it is difficult to say that it is difficult to be a soldier, and it is simple to say that it is simple, as long as you do it, there is nothing that cannot be done." Qin Yu smiled.

"By the way, second brother, I heard that the iron factory over there in Benxi is also yours, you have been outside for a few years, how much money have you saved." Qin Jian and Cheng Ming's affairs have been settled, Qin De is a businessman, and he is more interested in this aspect of things, he went to Benxi, and saw the iron factory over there, there are no hundreds of thousands of taels, don't want to do such a big scene, plus Taonan's side, Qin Cheng can't see the second brother in front of him more and more clearly.

"I haven't counted the money, there are a lot of it, you go back and discuss it with your parents, in the name of your parents, the young people of our Qin family and the Cheng family, who are willing to study abroad, all the funds will be covered by your parents, and I will send money back to you every year." Qin Yu said, "Our Qin family and Cheng family, if you want to have a career, you have to work hard from studying, if you don't have the ability, no matter how big the family property is, it will be lost sooner or later, if you have the ability, you can earn it without a penny in your hand." ”

After Qin Yu didn't want to become an official himself, his relatives and six dependents all came over to talk to him, wanting to find a good errand, this kind of thing is also troublesome to deal with, so he simply sent it overseas, studied for a few years, and learned the ability, after returning to China, Qin Yu will not be stingy and reused, if he doesn't succeed, treat him as a big backer, do whatever he likes, Qin Yu doesn't serve those masters.

"I can't see that after you have been out there for so long, you have learned a lot of big truths." Qin Cheng smiled and didn't ask any further.
