Taking advantage of the fact that the supervisors were busy saluting, a ragged road repairer rushed in front of Wang Zhenyu in one step, and this sudden change startled everyone.

said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Zhao Dongsheng, the captain of the guard team, was the first to react, and he was very athletic. One step forward kicked the visitor two or three meters away, and the visitor still wanted to try to lie down, but several guards were hungry and rushed to the ground.

The man couldn't struggle, and shouted loudly: "My name is Weng Wenhao, I am a foreigner, not a bandit, don't ......."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by several big hands, and only then did everyone wake up. The officers and soldiers in charge of supervising the work excitedly smashed their guns at other construction workers, and shouted loudly while smashing back, "Kneel, kneel, if you don't kneel, you will die." ”

"Stay in the foreign country?" Wang Zhenyu heard these three words, and then looked at the young man who was pressed to the ground by the guards in great surprise and couldn't move.

"You guys let go first, don't be so nervous, people don't even have a guy in their hands" Wang Zhenyu commanded very calmly: "What did you just say?" What is your name? ”

It turned out that this young man who suddenly went berserk was the young man who advocated to see Wang Zhenyu last night, and as soon as the guard let go of him, he shouted loudly, "The student's name is Weng Wenhao, he returned from studying in Belgium, and was mistakenly taken by your ministry as a bandit to build the road, and the student asked the commander Mingjian." ”

Wang Zhenyu squinted his eyes and glanced at the young man who called himself Weng Wenhao: "Liuyangsheng Weishenme will be here, why should I believe your words?" ”

Weng Wenhao was stunned for a moment when he was asked such a question, and only then did he see that this Commander Wang was as young as himself.

"I returned to China two months ago, and Jihua originally went to Beijing to work, but I happened to meet my former classmate Ding Wenjiang, and I went to the southwest to do the real adjustment. I never thought that we would meet bandits, and our group of more than 20 people became bandits' men and laborers. Finally, when your army defeated the bandits, we thought that we would be free, but our officers and soldiers mistook them for bandits, and were sent to build roads. We have the documents to prove it, but we have all been thrown away by the bandits, how do you let us prove ourselves? Weng Wenhao said that he was a little anxious in the back.

At this time, Ding Wenjiang held on to his glasses with only one foot and tried to stand up and said: "Commander Wang, Commander Wang, we are really Liuyangsheng who was captured by bandits, I have met Liu Xianshi, the governor of Guizhou, and we are acquaintances." ”

In fact, as soon as he heard Weng Wenhao's words, Wang Zhenyu already believed eight points, and when he heard Ding Wenjiang say this, Wang Zhenyu believed it even more.

He motioned for everyone to continue working, and then asked Song Haomin to lead the two to the side with him to rest.

"What did you study?" Wang Zhenyu first motioned for Song Haomin to serve tea, and then asked softly.

"Geology," the two replied in unison.

Then Weng Wenhao explained: "I studied mineral resources, and Brother Wenjiang studied geological exploration and fuel. Specifically......

Wang Zhenyu's head suddenly got big, don't say anything specific to yourself about such a professional thing.

"Geology" Wang Zhenyu's eyes suddenly lit up, don't you need talents in this area?

He hurriedly got up and said: "I have figured it out, I really wronged the two talents, like this, Zhao Dongsheng!" ”

"Arrive" Zhao Dongsheng heard the commander calling him, and hurriedly responded and ran over.

"You accompany the two gentlemen, bring out all the people in their group, and the person in charge of screening will give me ten military sticks, what's the matter!"

Zhao Dongsheng received the order, Weng Wenhao and Ding Wenjiang hurriedly thanked him, and then followed Zhao Dongsheng......

At dinner, Wang Zhenyu specially set up a banquet for more than 20 young talents. These guys are very professionals.

To be honest, whether it is political or military reform, Wang Zhenyu has a general direction and a relatively professional executor, so he doesn't bother much.

But only in terms of economy, tossing and turning, so far, there is only the project that the future husband is still active in, the cement plant. Other than that, there is a blank slate.

And without industry as a foundation, just relying on land rent to unify China, do you think it is now the Three Kingdoms?

Therefore, Wang Zhenyu attaches great importance to these geological talents, and he clearly knows that whether it is mining or road construction, it is inseparable from these professional talents. What the industry needs most is abundant raw materials and convenient transportation. And these two points are very closely related to geology, although Wang Zhenyu came from later generations, he knew the truth that the former army was easy to obtain, and a general was difficult to find. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, when basic education was still very weak, the experts in this period were not those shameless brick families in later generations, and they all had real skills.

Wang Zhenyu toasted these young students very politely, the eldest Ding Wenjiang is only 27 years old, and Weng Wenhao is 25 years old.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Zhenyu took out the bad habit of the Chinese people who are used to talking about things at the wine table: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Weng, this time it is indeed the recklessness of the officers under Wang, which has wronged you, please look at Wang's face, don't blame." ”

Everyone said again and again that they were not to blame, not to blame.

Seeing this, Wang Zhenyu asked with a smile: "In terms of age, Wang is actually younger than you, but now he is sitting in the position of the governor of this mansion, and he is really frightened!" What kind words of young and promising people are exempt, you have also seen it when you think about it, Jingzhou Mansion goes west to Yunnan and Guizhou, the mountains are endless, the products are limited, the transportation is also inconvenient, and the people's livelihood here is very difficult. That's why there are such powerful bandits, and the root cause is that the poor people can't survive. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense and nodded their heads.

"Today, Wang relied on the lives of his brothers to clear the bandits in this place in one fell swoop, but if there is no way to make money, so that the people of Li can live and work in peace and contentment, this bandit will be like the grass on the plain, the wildfire will not be exhausted, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate!"

Ding Wenjiang was the oldest, so he naturally stood up and raised his glass and said: "Commander Wang is really sincere, and the people of Jingzhou are really blessed to have parents like you!" ”

Wang Zhenyu waved his hand again and again: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, my Wang is just a martial artist, to put it mildly, I can't do anything except kill people and destroy civilization." If you really want to talk about industry to save the country, you have to rely on the local business gentry and you literate Jishu talents! ”

After taking a sip of wine, Wang Zhenyu said very sincerely: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Weng, Wang wants to ask the two gentlemen today, if this Jingzhou land wants to develop, what should be done?" ”

Ding Wenjiang hurriedly said politely: "We are all poor talents in mining, how dare we talk nonsense about these things about the national economy and people's livelihood."

Weng Wenhao was not as polite as Ding Wenjiang, he said very directly: "Build the railway, solve the traffic problem, in fact, I have been wandering around here for more than a month, the products here are not the lack of what Commander Wang said, but extremely rich, and all kinds of wild game are not much compared to the Northeast." But the traffic is really too poor, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult, and the freight is all dependent on the horse gang, and look at how many of the villages are not finished every year, and the inexhaustible products are rotten in the villages, which is strange if it can be rich. ”

Wang Zhenyu raised his eyebrows and immediately leaned over to listen.

Ding Wenjiang saw that Weng Wenhao was blunt, and he was not good at being polite, so he answered: "In fact, the area around Xiangxi is not completely unlucky, Hongjiang is a place, relying on the Yuanjiang River, and the transportation is extremely developed. In addition, to develop the economy, the key is to rely on industry, Ding has been surveying in the land of Hunan and Guizhou for several years, and some information is available, such as the iron production in Liuzhou, the coal production in Laibin, and the limestone production in Jingzhou, which are all necessary raw materials for the steel and cement industries. If you really want to develop industry, the land of Xiangxi may not be worse than the plains. ”

Wang Zhenyu was immediately interested in Ding Wenjiang's information: "Mr. Ding, where are these materials now?" ”

"It is estimated that they were all used as paper by the bandits in the mountains" Ding Wenjiang smiled bitterly and replied regretfully.

Wang Zhenyu was furious after hearing this, these uneducated brutes, what kind of ass they look like, they just wiped it with popular science materials, they are bastards......

Seeing that Wang Zhenyu's face was not good, Ding Wenjiang hurriedly comforted: "But Commander Wang doesn't have to worry, in fact, we all have these data in our heads, as long as we walk around on the spot, they will all come out." ”

Wang Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Adjutant Song Haomin to inform the kitchen to add vegetables, so that everyone could eat happily and enough.

Seriously, Ding Wenjiang and more than 20 other people have indeed endured hardships these days, and so many delicacies at once are naturally made with their bellies open, and the officers of the Tiger Brigade who accompanied them were stunned.

After asking a few questions, Wang Zhenyu arranged for someone to take everyone to the place where they lived, take a bath, and then each of them set up a new military uniform and change out of the rotten clothes on their bodies......

The next day, on a hand-drawn sketch of Xiangxi by Weng Wenhao, Wang Zhenyu began his Xiangxi development jihua formulation.

"Mr. Ding, are you sure there are coal mines and copper mines here in Yuanzhou? ……”

"Mr. Ding, are you sure there is a gold mine in this Jingzhou Mansion? ……”

"Mr. Weng, is there really no iron ore in Xiangxi? ……”

In the face of Wang Zhenyu's sincere inquiry, Ding Wenjiang and Weng Wenhao answered them one by one like teachers teaching students.

The focus of Zuihou's discussion was on the issue that Weng Wenhao mentioned yesterday, that is, the issue of railways.

Weng Wenhao didn't dare to open his mouth at this time, he looked at the sketch seriously and thought for a while: "In fact, there are not many mountains in the area of Jingzhou Mansion, most of them are hills, so it seems that it is very difficult to build a railway, but in fact, there are not many tunnels to be built, and they are not long. Personally, I think it should be feasible to build a railway from Liuzhou to Chenzhou here. ”

Wang Zhenyu looked at the map without saying a word, roughly understood Weng Wenhao's thoughts, and shook his head unconsciously, what he can control now is Jingzhou Yifu, which means that in fact, it is impossible to build this railway for such a long time.

However, Wang Zhenyu knows the story of one person, and that is Shen Hongying. If he remembers correctly, this bandit-turned-guy made his fortune during the Second Revolution. Liuzhou and Guilin are the territory of this kid, so in this regard, you can still make up your mind.

As for the northern end, it is better to go to Hongjiang, and when you get here, you can basically change freighters.

Through the transportation guarantee, I should be able to set up a large industry in Xiangxi, I can build a steel factory, I can build a textile factory, there are too many things that can be built, as long as the action is fast enough. Catch the last train of the First World War, then these industries will be able to earn a lot of money for themselves, and their shili will be further expanded......

Jihua, who developed Xiangxi, became clearer and clearer in Wang Zhenyu's head.
