"I don't know what happened to Lu Dao Yushuai calling us over in such a hurry." Liu Hongsheng and the others said as they walked.

"Yizhao has seen Yu Shuai, how dare I wait for a little thing to bother Dashuai to ask in person." Ye Yizhao saluted Qin Yu respectfully, compared to the first time they met, Qin Yu's prestige has reached a higher level than before, in the high-level circle of the Beiyang government before, although Qin Yu's strength is strong, in fact, his status is somewhat marginalized. The influence is not as extensive as Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang. But the battle to recapture the Middle East Road was fought so beautifully that even Duan Qirui couldn't stop Qin Yu's momentum in the Republic of China, and those who were in the mood for the country, but were disappointed in the authorities, saw hope again. There was no shortage of patriotic people, gentry, merchants, and students in the Republic of China. What confuses these people is what way to make the nation rise again, the constitutional monarchy, the republic have tried, until now the Republic of China is back into war, there is no hope of revitalization at all, but the Northeast has let everyone see that there is a road close in front of them, and the victory of the foreign war has restored a little confidence to those who are confused and wandering.

"It's not the first time we've met, so I won't use these politenesses." Qin Yu waved his hand and looked at Ruan Wei, only to feel that Ruan Wei's round face was a little familiar, and couldn't help but say, "Why do I always feel like I've seen you somewhere?" ”

"The handsome man has a good memory, when he was still in the thirty-third year of Guangxu, the little girl met the handsome once in Taonan." Ruan Wei's face was slightly red.

"It's really a snap of a finger in ten years." Thinking of the bits and pieces when he first came to this world, Qin Yu also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, although he was not a big official when he was in Taonan before, the experience of training troops to govern the place was unforgettable.

Liu Hongsheng, Ye Yizhao and others were curious, but it was inconvenient to ask more verbally.

"Alright. To get back to the point, I know the situation of the steel plant in Benxi, not to mention compared with before, now it has become a difficult thing to protect the capital, have you thought about the way out of the steel plant? Qin Yu asked.

"Yu Shuai, although the steel mill is now suffering a huge loss. There are a lot of defaults on orders in Europe, but the money earned in the first two years is enough to sustain a period of time, but the steel plant has many employees and very large expenses, and now it is operating at a loss. Ye Yizhao said cautiously.

"Do you think that I called you here so that you can continue to pay taxes to Mukden?" Qin Yu looked at a few people with a smile.

"Yu Shuai, this" Ye Yizhao and the others were stopped by Qin Yu.

"You have thought about it, Fengtian didn't see the money. There is no such unkindness, you have joined forces with other people to run a steel plant at a loss, my factory is not too good now, the steel industry is related to the stability of the foundation of heavy industry in Northeast China in the future, even if it is in a state of loss, the Mukden government cannot sit back and watch it decline. Now Fengtian and other northeastern provinces are about to issue a plan for the construction of thousands of kilometers of railways, and the steel orders for shipbuilding at Yingkou Shipyard will also buy all the steel plates from Benxi, of course. The premise is that the quality must be passed. If you are involved in a lawsuit over your goods in Europe, you will encounter official resistance from the other country. Although the Mukden government may not be able to solve all the problems, it will not sit idly by when the time is right. Qin Yu concisely said what he meant.

"Rain, Rain Shuai, what you said is true?" Liu Hongsheng almost thought he had heard it wrong, Ruan Wei. Ye Yizhao also looked at Qin Yu in disbelief.

"Why, do you think they called you all the way here just to entertain you?" Qin Yu said with a smile.

"How dare Ye!" Ye Yizhao and Liu Hongsheng apologized to Qin Yu again and again.

"The European war has stopped, and now the steel industry is facing a situation of world-wide surplus. However, with the pull of domestic demand, the current crisis can still be resolved. The construction of the Northeast will be more and more intensive, and the demand for steel will also rise year by year, as long as the technology is not too far behind the powers, the steel plant will be able to get out of the trough sooner or later. In this European war, the iron and steel industry of the Western powers will also suffer a major blow, although the foreign devils are a little disgusting, but their advanced technology is beyond doubt. You can try to cooperate with those iron and steel enterprises with advanced smelting technology to dig talents, I won't say much about other aspects, the demand of the Northeast can only keep you through the current difficulties, if the technology can not be raised in the future, the government will not spend money to buy some inferior products. While giving hope to a few people, Qin Yu also reminded them.

"Don't worry, Yu Shuai, you have done so much for us, if we can't make achievements, then I'm too sorry for Yu Shuai." Liu Hong said vividly and calmly.

Since you have paid a huge amount of taxes to Fengtian, Fengtian also has the obligation to protect your interests at a critical time. You don't have only one steel plant in Mukden, there are other industries, whether it's a steel plant or another factory, whether you can do it well or not, it's not sorry for me, it's sorry for yourself. Qin Yu corrected Ye Yizhao's statement, "So this time Fengtian came out to help you get through the difficulties, you don't have to worry too much." Just as soldiers should be used to defend the homeland and the country, this is only the basic function that the government should exercise. ”

"A good one to exercise the basic functions of government." Ye Yizhao and the others came back and told Zhou Xuexi, who had just arrived not long ago, about today's experience. Zhou Xuexi, like several others, couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Yes, the only one who prospers the people and the country, the rich and strong soldiers, is calm in front of the great powers, and dares to fight for power for the people, only Yu Shuai." Ye Yizhao sighed, "I used to see the routines in the officialdom, and I always thought that the world was as black as a crow, but I didn't expect that there would be a rain handsome, which is so admirable." Liu Hongsheng said a little excitedly, "If there is half of Yushuai in the center, the situation will never collapse so much at this time." ”

"Now it is rumored everywhere that Yu Shuai has the potential to win the world, in my opinion, if Yu Shuai really enters the customs, it will be a great blessing for the Republic of China. Last time, Yu Shuai was the first to take the initiative to expel Zhang Xun, but he was forced out of the capital by Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang. It really makes no sense, I think the Republic of China is corrupted in the hands of these people who are vying for power and profit. The Northeast Army was able to break through 100,000 Russian troops, but it did not use force in Beijing, which can be seen from its good intentions. ”

"More than ten years ago, Yu Shuai was only the commander of the old army, and the northeast was surrounded by enemies. There is a threat from Japan and Russia outside, and there are Mongolian bandits frequently attacking the east in the west, and bandits in the northeast are also in constant trouble. Although the land in the Northeast is fertile, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is much worse than that of the Guannei, but in the past ten years, the Northeast has been built into an iron plate, and the Mongolian bandits who invaded the East have almost been completely annihilated, and they have long been beaten by the Northeast Army. North Middle East Road was reclaimed. The once arrogant Tsarist Russian army was subjugated to the Northeast Army at this time, and the Japanese in the south, who used to be flying and domineering, are now much more disciplined. This is still the case in Kannai, but in Tohoku the situation is quite the opposite, and even Japanese people in Tohoku have to abide by the rules of Tohoku. The power of the Northeast Army is so powerful that even the great powers have to look sideways. In the past, the Northeast was a frontier area. But on military, economic power. In terms of people's hearts, it can only be ranked at the middle level in China. Now the morale is high, the military is strong, and the people are solid, and they have ranked first in the Republic of China, when it comes to enriching the country and strengthening the army. But that's it. Even compared with President Yuan Da back then, Yu Shuai has done the same, and even surpassed, the Northeast climate has been completed, and the Republic of China is promising. Zhou Xuexi stroked his goatee and said.

"Uncle Zhou's evaluation of Yu Shuai is so high." Liu Hongsheng and the others were surprised. Although Yuan Shikai was not guaranteed because of the emperor's title. But no one in the entire Republic of China denied Yuan Shikai's achievements for the establishment of the Republic of China. From the six towns of Beiyang to the establishment of the Republic of China, to further unify the country, such a feat was absolutely unmatched in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and now Zhou Xuexi compared Qin Yu with Yuan Shikai, how can several people not be surprised.

"President Yuan Da started by relying on the six towns of Beiyang, holding the most powerful military power in the country, and later won the support of Britain and the United States and other powers, and then basically completed the unification of the whole country. Now Yu Shuai has a strong army, and the soldiers are not inferior to the six towns of Beiyang back then, and the strength of the Northeast is no less than that of the Zhili provinces controlled by Xiangcheng at the beginning. After the war at Anshan Station, leading troops into Beijing, and retaking the Middle East Road, Yu Shuai's personal prestige has reached its peak, and now all Yu Shuai lacks is an opportunity. Of course, it also depends on Yu Shuai's thoughts. Zhou Xuexi talked eloquently, he served as Yuan Shikai's chief financial officer for a period of time, and after leaving office, he created a huge Zhou Group, which became the extremely high-ranking Zhou Group in the entire Republic of China. The value of the property under his command is nearly 30 million yuan, and such a person who has huge influence in both the political and business circles said this, Liu Hongsheng, Ye Yizhao and others were inevitably shocked.

"Uncle Zhou is right, Yu Shuai started at the end of the micro, and now it is all based on strength, without any luck, it took several years to govern Fengtian, and then it took a few years to attack the Northeast, and the three eastern provinces, Rehe, and Chahar were included in the rule, it can be seen that Yu Shuai is not a man who keeps the future, if it is not for Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui joining forces last time, Yu Shuai will not withdraw from Beijing, and now Feng Duan and the two are separated from Germany on the issue of the Civil War, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and the entire Republic of China, when the two completely part ways, the entire Republic of China, there will be no restriction on the existence of Yu Shuai." Ye Yizhao said. "According to Uncle Zhou, does Yu Shuai really have a day to enter the customs again?"

"I'm not sure about this, now the warlords in the Guannai are divided, and the provincial overseers have self-respecting troops and have been fighting again and again, if anyone can end this chaos, from the gentry to the common people and merchants, I am afraid they will try their best to support it. Yu Shuai can take care of the chaotic Northeast in an orderly manner, enrich the people and strengthen the army, in recent years, the number of immigrants to Kanto is as high as millions, the Northeast has long been famous, if Yu Shuai can treat Kannai and the Northeast equally, it is not difficult to enter the central government.
