In addition, more than 300,000 people in Beijing and Tianjin have successively emigrated to outside the customs, and many people in Hebei have also marched to the customs outside, plus many young students have also arrived in Fengtian, which can be described as a double harvest of people and wealth.

Not only Zhang Zuolin was very happy, but Wang Yongjiang, the big housekeeper, was even more overjoyed, the three eastern provinces want to carry out large-scale construction, and all kinds of investment are quite large, but the economic foundation of Fengtian is not as good as that of the rich provinces in Guannai, and the reason why the current investment situation can be maintained is actually to rely on all kinds of black money and loans to maintain it.

After eradicating the Zongshe Party, robbing a large amount of funds and land, recovering the Middle East Road, and also getting tens of millions of incomes, smuggling into Russia also made a lot of profits, and after the Fengtian Bank controlled the finance of the three eastern provinces, it became much easier for the Fengjun to borrow funds.

Relying on these incomes, the various projects of the Fengjun army were smoothly promoted, but these financial resources had a common characteristic, all of them were temporary, the loan amount was limited, and the smuggling to Russia was due to the existence of the war of the great powers, and now the war has shown signs of ending.

What worries Wang Yongjiang the most is what the Feng army will rely on to maintain huge investment after these financial routes are cut off, what to do with immigration, what to do with industry, what to do with education and infrastructure! A series of problems have been placed in front of Wang Yongjiang, and it is certainly impossible to achieve a virtuous circle by relying on the existing economic foundation of the three eastern provinces alone, and many undertakings will have to be stopped if they are not successful.

However, with the end of this trip to Guannai, Wang Yongjiang threw all his worries out of the clouds, and with this huge income, Fengjun's finances were like a big tonic pill at once, and within five years, there would not be too many problems. Not only is there no problem, but the scale of investment can be greatly increased.

And five years later, Fengjun's various factories are on the right track, and there is already a large amount of tax returns, and the finances can continue to operate benignly. It can be said that Zhang Tinglan's trip to the Guannai completely made the development of Fengjun shine, how could Wang Yongjiang not be ecstatic!

As soon as Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang got off the train, Lao Zhang and Wang Yongjiang took the lead to greet them.

"Humble words, the battle is beautiful, things are done crisply, good! Good! Good! ”

Lao Zhang Lian said three good words. Obviously, the joy was extreme, Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang hurriedly saluted Lao Zhang.

"Marshal, Feng Jun has completed the task and returned victoriously, please give a lecture!"

At this time, the other soldiers of the Feng army got off the train. On the platform, it was neatly filled. Lao Zhang's face is full of spring breeze. Surrounded by everyone, these soldiers were inspected, and Zuihou Lao Zhang walked in front of all the soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers, you have won glory and added glory to the Feng army. Let everyone in the world know that in the land of Kanto, there is a strong Feng army to defend the homeland and the country. Justice. In order to reward everyone's merits, this military operation will be used as a priority factor for future promotion, and everyone will be rewarded with 10 yuan and a three-day vacation! ”

The soldiers are indeed very tired, in addition to fighting, confiscating family property, interrogating criminals, carrying trophies, everything is manual work, busy for so long, it is time to take a rest, hearing that Lao Zhang took the initiative to give a holiday, the big guys are happy.

After settling these soldiers, Zhou Xuexi and others also got off the train and officially met with Lao Zhang, Zhang Zuolin looked very enthusiastic: "There has long been a saying in the world that the Zhou family is the leader of the northern industrial community, and they have long wanted to visit us, and now we are a family, we should be closer and closer!" ”

"Yu Shuai sits in the three eastern provinces, the tiger is intimidating all directions, and his subordinates are all fierce generals and strong soldiers who can fight habitually, and they are the heroes of the world, and I hope that Yu Shuai can take care of one or two in the future!"

"I didn't say it, but I am the youngest and most capable general in the Feng army, and I am my son and nephew, and there is no difference between it and my own son, we will be in-laws in the future, and we have prepared a banquet in the Shuai Mansion to wash the dust for you!"

Lao Zhang accompanied Zhou Xuexi and others back to the Shuai Mansion together, when the banquet was being prepared, Lao Zhang called Zhang Tinglan to his study, and only Wang Yongjiang sat on the side, obviously Lao Zhang wanted to learn some information from Zhang Tinglan personally.

"Humble words, I and Minyuan have seen how much we have gained, and the amount is indeed amazing, I am very happy, but you can tell me about other situations, what is the future trend of Beiyang, and will it have any impact on the Feng army?"

Zhang Tinglan was also ready to report these things to Lao Zhang for a long time, and he already had a draft in his heart, so after sorting it out a little, he said: "Dashuai, it can be said for sure that Zhang Xun's restoration was promoted by Duan Qirui, and Lao Duan hopes to take advantage of this to win Li Yuanhong. Another point that is very noteworthy, that is, the contradiction between the two factions of Beiyang and Anhui has completely surfaced, and they both want to compete for the control power of the central government, and there will definitely be a more fierce struggle in the future! ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded slightly, then took out a secret letter and sent it to Zhang Tinglan, "Humble words, this is a secret letter sent to me by Sun Cannon, he hopes that Feng Jun can cooperate with him to jointly crusade against Beiyang, and he also promised that as long as the matter is completed, he is willing to use the Yangtze River as the boundary and divide the world equally." ”

Zhang Tinglan heard that Sun Wen came to the telegram, and was also very curious, and hurriedly read it carefully, Sun Wen in the telegram, all of which were compliments, and praised the Feng army for quelling Zhang Xun's rebellion, but in Zuihou Sun Wen still did not change his braggart style, saying that all the governors in the southwest were ready to protect the Fa, and wanted to invite the Feng army to act together, starting from the north and south, and completely eradicating the Shili in Beiyang.

"Dashuai, the so-called protector of the law, the deserving is the temporary covenant, Zhang Xun restored, interrupted the legal system of the Republic of China, Duan Qirui is ready to take this opportunity to completely revise the provisional covenant, oust Li Yuanhong, and concentrate the power of the central government. The provisional law was passed by Sun Wen during the Xinhai Revolution, and he couldn't bear to lose his political influence, so he united with the warlords Tang Jiyao, Lu Rongting, Liu Xianshi and others in the southwest to prepare for some kind of Dharma protection movement. However, those people will not listen to Sun Wen's orders, at most this is just Sun Dacang's own dream, and there is no possibility of success at all! ”

"Well, that's how I see it." Lao Zhang said: "But I'm worried that after this incident, Lao Duan will pay attention to Fengjun, it is better to support Sun Cannon, give him a little money, and let Sun Cannon hold on to the south for a while longer, which can be regarded as buying us time for development!" ”

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, whether it is Sun Wen's party or Fengjun, they all want to seize the power of the central government, but the two sides take different routes, Zhang Tinglan's goal is to develop steadily, Zuihou is a matter of course, and Sun Wen does not give up any opportunity, desperately tossing.

In history, Sun Wen did accept Zhang Zuolin's funding, and Zhang Tinglan did not reject this jihua, but he also knew the danger of Sun Wen's party, so he must control the fire, otherwise he would play with fire and set himself on fire.

"Dashuai, I think we can give Sun Cannon a little support, but we can't give it to him in vain, we can sell arms, and we must also properly infiltrate Sun Wen's followers, after all, if Beiyang falls, we will be official enemies, and we can't be unguarded!"

"Just do as you say." Lao Zhang agreed to this suggestion, and then Lao Zhang said: "Humble words, the Japanese have protested to me, opposing the construction of the oil mill by the Feng army, and at the same time dissatisfied with our construction of the Jifeng Railway. ”

"Marshal, this time I searched Fan Dongyang's home, found a lot of correspondence, the Japanese are ready to use the Fan family's industry as an intelligence station, to find out the situation outside the Guan, although we stopped this operation, but it is also conceivable that the Japanese will not give up their ambitions for the three eastern provinces, and even say that their hostility will only grow, we must always be vigilant."

Wang Yongjiang also said on the side at this time: "Dashuai, what I said is right, the Japanese have already regarded us as an opponent, the more they oppose it, the more we must step up our actions, as long as we use the fastest speed to make the Feng army stronger, we don't have to worry about the Japanese blackmail." ”

Lao Zhang's brows were furrowed, with such a bad neighbor as Japan staring, the pressure on Fengtian's shoulders was indeed heavy.

"Well, I'm going to let people and the Japanese perfunctory for the time being, as for the construction action, don't stop at all, how should it develop, do you have any jihua?"

"Dashuai, this humble statement has brought back enough funds, I think we can prepare a five-year long-term budget, increase the investment by 50 million per year, first of all, industrial investment, and strive to make all the factories under construction in Fengtian operate within two or three years, and the output of steel and coal will be greatly increased. The second point is to invest in agriculture, a large number of immigrants, a large amount of land reclamation, and control people and food; in fact, Japan has also imported grain from the three eastern provinces in recent years to supply the country, and this is also a card for us, which should be used, and we must not always be coerced by the Japanese, but also counter them. ”

Zhang Tinglan very much agrees with the strategy of developing industry and agriculture together, which is like two legs of a person, no matter which leg is weak, it will affect the rapid development of the Feng army.

Zhang Tinglan then added: "Dashuai, what Mr. Min Yuan said is very reasonable, in addition, I think we should invest more in education, speed up the construction of primary and secondary schools, build more professional technical schools, and train a large number of middle and low-level technicians." Then there is the need to legislate that girls must go to school, and we want to increase the percentage of girls in school! ”

"To put it mildly, letting boys go to school can still make money to support their families, but if girls are all foreign surnames sooner or later, there are many people who are unwilling to spend money."

"It is precisely because of the preference for sons over daughters, so I propose to set up a special bill, in society, although the proportion of men working is larger, but women are more responsible for family education, that is to say, women's cultural quality, to a large extent determines the literacy of the next generation, investing in boys is for the present, and investing in girls is to focus on the future, and must not be negligent."
