Chapter 64: Convincing Xiliang
"Here, help move everything up." Qin Yu instructed Ding Cheng and a few people to do it.
Some hoes, iron pots, soap and other things were loaded onto the carriage with the help of Ding Cheng. Chen Xinyi's third uncle thanked him again and again, and came to Taonan for a while, the business of the noodle restaurant was not bad, Chen Xinyi's third uncle and his wife decided to transport a little thing from their hometown in Baicheng, and they were entrusted by the neighbors to help bring some things from Taonan. There are many things in Taonan, but Baicheng doesn't have.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Xinyi's face was a little red, since he gave Qin Yu a large bag of noodles, Qin Yu has gone to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles less often. However, Chen Xinyi didn't expect that Qin Yu would come up when he went to Baicheng.
"I'm going to Mukden, just on the way." Qin Yu smiled shyly.
Chen Xinyi and Qin Yu have nothing to say, they go to the south to Fengtian, and to the north to Baicheng, and Qin Yu can say it by the way.
"Xinyi, it's time to get in the car."
"Zhilu is here." Chen Xinyi hurriedly left Qin Yu and ran to the front of the car and got into the carriage.
"Guizhi, why do you think this young adult is always helping us?" Chen Xinyi's third uncle, Wang Degui, asked the mother-in-law next to him in a low voice.
"You're stupid, you, he obviously took a fancy to Xinyi, so he came over every now and then to offer his courtesy, there are so many officials in the official's entourage, how can there be less fish and meat at home, you think he is rare in your noodles, you don't know how to let Xinyi send such a big pack of noodles to others, you don't see his face when he accepts the noodles, it is estimated that people will vomit when they go back." Ma Guizhi also felt a little funny when he said it.
"Got a crush? That's a good thing. Wang Degui was not angry, and smiled.
"Xinyi, this guy who is an official is good, his family background is not bad, he looks like a talent, it is enough to match you, and he has a rare personality that is not bad, and he doesn't have the weird temper of those officials. It's not that the third aunt said you, there were so many guys who came to the door to propose marriage, you didn't like to take care of it, forget about those, you are not lukewarm this time, if you chill people's hearts, after this village, there will be no shop. Seeing that Qin Yu didn't follow, Ma Guizhi whispered again, "This young man is a military attachΓ©, and what you did in Gaizhou before, you must not be as disgusted as those poor sour." β
Chen Xinyi snorted lightly, a little red and hot, how did they know that the evil thing in Gaizhou was done by Qin Yu in front of her, which caused her to seek death and life back then. However, when she was in Gaizhou before, Qin Yu didn't usually do anything wrong to her except for that incident. After breaking her chastity, she was almost killed by her eldest brother. Later, she became a big official in Benxi, and occasionally met Lu in a remote noodle restaurant, and helped her clean up the evil young man who was stalked. Later, a large group of people were blasted out of the door by her, and Chen Xinyi remembered that Qin Yu was still burned by her boiling soup, and now there is a small scar looming on her chin.
In the past, Qin Yu was really hateful when he was in Gaizhou, but later when he came to Benxi and then to Taonan, he seemed to have completely changed as a person, winning consecutive battles on the battlefield, brave and invincible, strict military discipline, and there was a lot of litigation everywhere. When Chen Xinyi was a girl, she also fantasized about her other half, but she unconsciously coincided with Qin Yu in front of her, thinking of this, Chen Xinyi's heart couldn't help jumping, and secretly glanced at Qin Yu, Qin Yu, who had collapsed before, was still very attractive, Qin Yu also saw Chen Xinyi's gaze, and grinned at Chen Xinyi. Chen Xinyi sighed softly, turned her head again with a red face and hot ears, and didn't dare to look again.
"My lord, you are really sincere to this Miss Chen family, if she doesn't agree, I think you will directly rob your relatives." After sending Chen Xinyi to Baicheng, Wang Yuhai gave Qin Yu an idea.
"Isn't that not there yet?" Qin Yu smiled, to say that he had a good impression of Zhou Yingxue before, but compared with Zhou Yingxue's slightly eldest lady's temper, Chen Xinyi was easy to be shy and slightly weak, which was easier to arouse Qin Yu's desire to protect.
When entering Fengtian again, the road in Fengtian Province has a new look, the patrol police can be seen vaguely on the road, and the slightly dim street lamps on the roadside make this ancient city have a bit of modern atmosphere, and there are some projects in the finishing stage, I have to say that Xu Shichang still did something when he served as the governor of the three eastern provinces in the past.
"Humble Qin Yu, I've seen the Governor's Mansion" Qin Governor's Mansion in the three eastern provinces, Qin Yu saluted and glanced at Xiliang, this old man has a thoughtful face, but his complexion is not very good, and his beard is gray.
"Yes, young people have a spirit." Xiliang said with a smile, "I heard that you have done a very good job in Taonan, exterminated the Mongolian bandits, captured Baiyin Dalai alive, and did a good job of setting up a factory in Taonan, even I have heard a lot about it in Fengtian City." β
"Your Excellency the Governor has won the award, and his humble position is just a small fight, where can it be compared with the Lord supervising the military and political affairs of the Northeast." Qin Yu said humbly.
"Okay, young man, don't be modest, say, you came all the way to Fengtian City to see me what's the matter." Xiliang asked.
"My lord, I heard that the Yangtze River flooded, Hubei was seriously affected, and there were also a large number of hungry people in Shandong and Henan. Qin Yu said, "There are still some things to do in Taonan, which can receive about 50,000 hungry people, but this matter still needs to be provided by the Governor to provide certain convenience, otherwise relying on humble duties alone, there will not be such great energy." β
"Oh? Receiving 50,000 hungry people? Xiliang was quite moved, 50,000 people just eat and drink Lazar a year, and there are four or five hundred thousand silver taels to settle down, "You have only been in Taonan for two years, and Taonan has so much money?" β
"My lord, Taonan doesn't have so much money, and he wants to use the newly built iron factory in Benxi as collateral to borrow from a foreign bank, and it shouldn't be a problem to resettle so many victims." Qin Yu hurriedly explained.
"The iron factory over there? You have a heart. After hearing this, Xiliang nodded and said, "But that iron factory is the only large-scale iron-making enterprise in the entire three eastern provinces, if you can't repay the loan, won't it fall into the hands of foreigners?" β
"My lord, before the lowly post came, the Japanese went to Taonan to threaten the lowly job, and let the lowly post transfer the iron factory to them at a low price, and was blasted out of the lowly job, presumably the Japanese will not give up, use the iron factory as a mortgage, with the support of the foreign bank, presumably the Japanese will not dare to act rashly, as for the return of the loan, with the profitability of the iron plant, it will take a few years to repay, it is still no problem, this lowly job dares to use the head of the item as a guarantee." Qin Yu said. "When he was in Taonan to conquer and suppress Mongolian bandits, he personally captured the Japanese who were drawing maps in Mongolia, and the Japanese had wolf ambitions and had to guard against them."
"As for the immigration to Taonan, it is also forced by the situation, the Mongolian people have lived outside the Saiwai for a long time, and they do not accept the king, and they were humble and Zhang led the pursuit of the bandit leader Tao Ke Taohu, if it were not for the secret help of the Mongolian people, they would have been beheaded under the horse. Only in the Taoliao area can a large number of people who have moved to Guannei and serve the kings form a solid barrier and completely put an end to the trouble of Mongolian bandits moving eastward to the people. β
"50,000 immigrants, how are you going to settle them?" Xiliang is a capable minister, and he is not so easily convinced.
"Building roads, now the entire Northeast, the railways are basically controlled by the Japanese and Russian powers, and the powers have mastered the railways, which can transport troops and dispatch supplies at any time. Now it is too difficult to take back the railway from the Japanese and Russians. Only by building roads can the influence of the Russo-Japanese Railway be diluted. In addition, only coherent transportation, the rough, leather shoes and other materials produced in Taonan can reduce costs and make it easier to transport them out. Sold to Harbin, Mukden, and even Guannei. Unlike railways, control of highways was in the hands of the imperial court. β
"By next year, in addition to some road repairs, the newly reclaimed farmland will be enough to house the next part of the people, and the factory in Taonan will recruit some people, and the pressure will not be as great as this year. As long as you survive these two years, the rest of the days will be better. β
"Well, you're still very methodical." Xiliang nodded, "Can you settle more immigrants?" β
"50,000 is already the limit, and before that, Taonan has absorbed no less than 20,000 immigrants in the past two years, and 50,000 is enough for Taonan to digest for two or three years." Qin Yu smiled bitterly.
"If you add Baicheng and Jing'an, how many places will be opened?" Xiliang asked.
"There is enough land, and at most another 30,000 can be added." Qin Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, I'll give you Baicheng, Jing'an, and open a few places, and you will settle 80,000 immigrants for me."
"My lord, with my humble qualifications, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress the officials in several places." Qin Yu was a little worried.
"Since these lands are handed over to you, you are naturally allowed to be fully responsible, and if there are corrupt officials and officials who obstruct it, the old man will make the decision for you." Xiliang raised his eyebrows and said, when he was the governor of Yungui and Sichuan, there were not a few corrupt officials killed. "But if things don't work out..."
"Humble and willing to make a military order!" Qin Yulang said.
"Very good, you do it well, there is no shortage of generals in Fengtian who lead troops to fight, but there is a lack of good officials who can run and get rich, I know very well what you are doing in Taonan, opening mines, setting up factories, building roads, relocating displaced people, and using them to suppress and appease Mongolian bandits, these points are very good, this immigration has been done well, the merits are immeasurable, and the old man personally recommends you to the imperial court." Xiliang is a capable official, and every time he goes to a place, there will inevitably be some measures to rectify the rule of officials, revitalize the economy, and set up industries, so he is also particularly pleasing to the eye for Qin Yu, who can do practical things.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency, you will definitely go to the soup and die in the fire!" Qin Yu was overjoyed, to be honest, although Xiliang is a man, his official and character are still quite commendable, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time.
