Chapter 95: Searching for Dreams
The train was hurtling north, and the cold was oppressive, but the inside of the carriage was as warm as spring. In the huge and empty carriage, Bai Sheng and his wife have been added, and it seems to have become popular. Wan'er and Bi Ying chattered endlessly, and there seemed to be endless words. "Bi Ying, let me ask you, what do you think of that Captain Dai?" "Handsome and chic, a talent, he served as a captain at a young age, and his future is limitless." Bi Ying said casually.
Wan'er smiled: "I like this young man, do you say that Xia Zi is as compatible as Captain Dai?" "Talented women, beautiful women with heroes, perfect matches!" Madame, you're too discerning," Bitaru couldn't help but shout. Deng Zixuan said: "You are a chaotic mandarin duck spectrum, Xia Zi has a strong personality, his mind is full of women's independent thoughts, and he wants to be a new woman of the times." If Natsuko doesn't like to see how you end. Wan'er smiled slyly and said, "I have a way, I will definitely let Xia Zi comply, you just wait to be your father-in-law." ”
Bi Ying asked curiously, "Madam, what can I say?" "Confidential!" Wan'er sold a pass to stop, and Bi Ying was anxious enough to choke and beg. Wan'er had no choice but to tell in her ear, and Bi Ying couldn't help but applaud after hearing it. Deng Zixuan guessed that Wan'er must be using the power in her hand to create conditions for them to get acquainted: "Wan'er, I don't care what method you use, but you can't use Captain Dai." "Don't worry, I won't break the rules."
Since the railway line from Shengjing to Harbin is still in trial operation, there are not many trains along the way, so the speed of the special train is very fast. The train arrived in Harbin in the morning, and the day was not yet available. In December, the sky in Harbin is about half past six. After they had their breakfast on the train, they got off the train in disguise. Deng Zixuan dressed as a merchant. Wan'er dressed up as a lady. Bai Sheng and his wife are also dressed in civilian clothes, and the chief of the guard selected 20 guards who are also dressed in civilian clothes. Deng Zixuan visited Harbin secretly, so Bai Sheng did not inform the Harbin Military Division. Protect the safety of Deng Zixuan. It was a matter within the intelligence leader Wan Chuan, so he deployed a large number of agents in Harbin in advance to monitor the movements of suspicious people and ensure Deng Zixuan's safety.
The newly built Harbin station is very large, but there is not a single passenger in the open space, because the passenger train has not yet been opened, and the trial trains are all freight trains. Deng Zixuan stood on the platform and looked carefully. It was a bit of a surprise to find that the newly built station was almost identical to the location of the later generations. At present, there is only one street in Harbin, which is the most prosperous commercial street. The most eye-catching thing is that there are rows of Western-style buildings on both sides of the street. This is another thing that Deng Zixuan is satisfied with.
The group walked on the only commercial street, and what surprised Deng Zixuan even more was that the commercial street and the central street of later generations, whether in terms of direction and location, were almost a copy of later generations. Hexagonal stones laid on the street. makes Deng Zixuan feel familiar, but the street is twice as wide as the original, which is naturally Deng Zixuan's masterpiece. Deng Zixuan demanded that Harbin build a city, all roads should be 50 meters wide, and sewers should be built into culverts to resist floods once in a century, and asked officials to strictly control them.
"Zixuan, what are you thinking about when you stop and go. Isn't it just a bungalow, you haven't seen enough in Shanghai? Wan'er was taken aback for a moment when she saw Deng Zixuan's expression. Asked in contemplation for a moment. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Since Harbin was built by me, I naturally have to look carefully." "Then you can take a closer look, Biying, let's go to the store, I heard that foreigners' fur coats are good." Seeing Wan'er pulling Bi Ying away, Bai Sheng said, "Shopkeeper, do you want to find out from local officials?" "In order to hide people's eyes, Bai Sheng called Deng Zixuan the shopkeeper." Let the officials know our whereabouts, can we still visit freely? Don't alarm them yet, it's best if they don't know. ”
Bai Sheng said: "Shopkeeper, you see that the streets are full of foreigners with high noses and blue eyes, and it seems that there is a foreign feeling when standing here." I heard from the commander of the military division that almost every day foreigners, most of them Jews, but also a small number of Russian merchants, came to this place. These people are very powerful, and some of them have come from within Russia. They carried gold coins in their arms, and when they arrived here, they bought land and built houses. It is said that a Jew built a small power plant, and I don't know how he got the equipment from Shanghai, and there was a Jewish-run brewery here, and they brought me delicious wine. ”
Deng Zixuan's family originally lived in Daowai District, but at present, Daowai District is still a cropland and woods, which can be said to be virgin land. Even if Deng Zixuan had the idea of looking for it, it was useless. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "With the completion of the railway line, the speed of Harbin's development will be accelerated, and it will be the same every year." With the migration of domestic merchants and people, Harbin will appear in a blowout, and I think it will not take ten years to become a bright pearl in the north. ”
Deng Zixuan continued: "In the future, the architectural style of Harbin will be all Western structures, including residential buildings, and I want to create a city with Western architectural style through and through, and I want people to deeply feel the exotic customs here." "A tavern appeared in front, and the front of the tavern was written in Chinese, Jewish language, Russian, and English, which was simple and clear at a glance." Shopkeeper, there must be beer in this tavern, how about we go in and have a taste? "If you don't say I'm going to patronize it too!" The guards stayed outside, and Deng Zixuan and Bai Sheng walked in.
The house was very warm, and there was a fireplace on one side of the wall, and the fire was blazing. A balding Jew greets in stiff Chinese, a Jew who has a talent for language, and who is said to be speaking simple everyday Chinese within a month. The furnishings in the house were basic, there were five or six tables, but it was very clean. There are many Western oil paintings hanging on the wall, most of them landscapes, and there is a large wooden barrel in the corner of the wall, and there is a copper valve in the shape of a faucet at the bottom of the barrel. On one side of the barrel were tall glasses, apparently containing beer.
Deng Zixuan asked for twice as much beer, and the Jews brought in a fruit bowl with peanuts, dried fruits, and fried soybeans. Savvy Jews, well aware of the eating habits of the Chinese, said that these appetizers were given for free and did not cost money. Deng Zixuan took a sip of beer, which was very refreshing and sweet, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and taste it. Search the memory in your mind, and it feels better than the original. Deng Zixuan knows that at present, Western beer has become large-scale, but the brewing of jishu is more primitive, and cannot be produced on a large scale. The beer is so good, it means that the water is good. The current water source is not polluted in any way, and it is naturally evocative.
Bai Sheng took a sip and smacked his lips and said, "Shopkeeper, look at your demeanor as if you have drunk beer before, but as far as I know, there is only beer in Harbin this year." Deng Zixuan smiled: "I haven't drunk beer before, but I liked it as soon as I tasted it today." Cheers! Deng Zixuan made a toast. Shopkeeper, don't get drunk! Bai Sheng was surprised and dissuaded. The beer was low in proof and there was no problem. Bai Sheng tried to drink dry, and immediately his eyebrows flew and he felt very happy.
At this time, Wan'er and Bi Ying returned from shopping, and they had two more mink coats and otter hats on them. Deng Zixuan ordered two more glasses of beer to come up, and Wan'er looked at the beer and said confusedly: "What is this, it's black." "It's a fine drink to try." Wan'er took a sip cautiously, frowned, and said, "The taste is bitter and not delicious." Bi Ying took a sip and said, "Madam, I have drunk this beer, it was a little bitter at first, but it tasted sweet after a few sips." ”
Wan'er waved her hand and said, "No, I can't enjoy it." Deng Zixuan unceremoniously brought the beer over and said, "If you don't drink it, it will be mine." Deng Zixuan and Bai Sheng drank 6 cups in one go, and only stopped when they were slightly drunk. Coming out of the tavern to continue the tour, shopping is a woman's nature, and soon, following Wan'er's guards, a large bag and a lot of small hugs, the tired guards are panting.
Suddenly, a familiar scene appeared ahead. Madir Hotel, Deng Zixuan was slightly surprised to see the familiar name, this is too evil. But when I think about it, I am relieved. It seems that people's views on things have a commonality, and there is probably a soul in the heart.
"Shopkeeper, do you want to stay at this hotel?" Bai Sheng was confused. Deng Zixuan came back to his senses and said: "The name of this hotel is very innovative, we will stay in this hotel!" "No surprise, the Madir Hotel is still run by Jews, and Deng Zixuan seems to have found something familiar and found satisfaction in his heart. Wan'er saw that her husband was happy, so she naturally had no opinion, but Wan'er couldn't guess the nostalgia complex in her husband's heart.
Three days later, Deng Deng Zixuan's special train quietly departed, and no one knew that the president had secretly visited Harbin. The train was speeding on the Songnen Plain, and Deng Zixuan looked at the west through the glass for a long time, seeing him pondering, no one disturbed. Deng Zixuan knew that there was black gold buried under the western meadow, which was another knot in his heart. How many times did Deng Zixuan want to develop this oil field, but he still held back. Deng Zixuan decided to leave this cornucopia to his children and grandchildren to develop.
When it comes to oil resources, it belongs to the Arab region, and some people describe that oil can be scooped out with a hoe, and the extraction cost is astonishing. The underground treasure of the Arab region has brought great wealth to the Western countries, and now this huge treasure should be enjoyed by the descendants of Yan and Huang. The next strategic layout should aim at the Middle East, thinking of this, Deng Zixuan showed a bright smile on his face.
Deng Zixuan returned to normal, and found that Bai Sheng, Wan'er, and Bi Ying stared at him with big eyes and smiled in surprise: "Look at what I do, it's hard to know me." Wan'er said angrily: "And say that, look at your strange expression, a moment of wind and a moment of rain, let us be in the clouds." Bai Sheng said: "President, what are you thinking, do you want us to be happy?" "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, what do you say I can think. In a word, our conquest is not the goal, the purpose is to let future generations earn the greatest wealth, and the Chinese nation should become the richest nation on the shijie. ”
"As for what I thought about it, it doesn't matter, you'll know later. What I want to say is that the future Chinese nation will reproduce the style of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and this is another thing I want to do. But the premise is that we must achieve absolute military victory, which is the ultimate goal that I have pursued in my lifetime. "President, I have the confidence to follow you to accomplish this ultimate goal." White Victory Guaranteed.
The train continues to run through the field, symbolizing the swift forward wheels of the empire, majestic and unstoppable. (To be continued......)
