The chemical industry is an out-and-out strategic industry and an important part of the entire military industry; for example, the DuPont Company of the United States is not only a chemical industry giant, but also an arms giant, and it started with explosives in the early days.

For the industry of Fengtian, Zhang Tinglan initially had a plan, military industry, steel, coal, electricity and other industries have moved from the Russian Far East, he has figured out the situation in Russia, although Russia does not have any large factories, but it is enough for Fengtian to start. The only thing lacking is the industrial sector such as chemistry, electronics and machinery manufacturing, which is also the shortcoming of the Russians, they do not have factories, and Zhang Tinglan is even more difficult to cook without rice.

Fortunately, there is still a Fan Xudong who can be used, as long as he is moved, the chemical industry will have a little landing, as for the other industries, they can only wait for the end of the First World War, make up their minds on the Germans, and then exchange a little from the United States, and the whole shelf will be supported, and the waist of the Feng army will be hard.

"Let's make a bid, and it depends on whether people agree or not, do you have any candidates to persuade Fan Xudong?"

"Just let Song Zhongyi help, he turned out to be from Beijing and Tianjin, and he is familiar with the personal relationship."

A year ago, Song Zhongyi was still crying in the teahouse in Beijing, seeing that the factory was about to end, since he moved to Mukden, all aspects are all the way to the green light, the scale of the textile factory continues to expand, there are always endless orders in hand, this period can be said to be the most comfortable days for Song Zhongyi to run the factory.

With such a solid example in front of him, it should be very convincing, Zhang Tinglan is full of confidence in himself, looking at the whole of China, the governments of various places, Fengtian's conditions are definitely the most favorable. As for other places, it's good not to add to the chaos, where else can you help!

After discussing the matter, they continued to look at the field, Zhang Tinglan pulled off an ear of rice, put the rice on it in the palm of his hand, and said to Wang Yongjiang and Yang Yuting with a smile: "Both, pay attention, our rice is fuller than the southern one, according to my estimation, whether it is the taste." or nutrition, it is better than japonica rice in the south, and it is definitely much better than sorghum rice! ”

"Well, if that's the case, we'll all have to change our tastes." Yang Yuting said with a smile.

"Whether it's good or not is secondary. The main thing is the yield, I did the math. No chemical fertilizers are used. The yield of one acre of land can reach more than 200 catties, which is already one-third more than the original sorghum, and if it reaches 300 catties, it will be doubled. ”

"A variety of rice. It is necessary to build more water conservancy projects, reservoirs, diversion canals, and wells. If the water can't keep up, you won't be able to grow rice! ”

"Now I'm seeing the benefits of the farm." Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "With the farm, the peasants are organized, and what they couldn't do alone can now be done, and it's a lot easier for us to organize, as long as the order is sent to the farm, there is no need to go door to door to find people." After the autumn harvest is completely completed, let's compare the results of the farm, if the effect is good, we will promote it in the entire three eastern provinces, solve the problem of grain, and completely gain a firm foothold! ”

It's no wonder that Wang Yongjiang attaches so much importance to food, now the main source of tax revenue in Fengtian is still Tianfu, and in this kind of troubled times, grain is the most haode hard currency, holding the grain, the people can settle down, and the army will not be chaotic.

In all dynasties, food is a matter related to the lifeblood of the foundation, and any great talent who governs the country will not ignore the importance of food.

In about half a month, it will be time to harvest, Zhang Tinglan is now looking forward to the beauty of the sky, being able to keep the sunny day, drying the rice, busy for more than half a year, just looking at how much harvest Zuihou can have.

They are also busy people, and after seeing the rice, they are also very satisfied, so they wait for the results of Zuihou.

After Zhang Tinglan returned to the mansion, he began to do his homework, since he was going to invite Fan Xudong here, he had to get a condition that he couldn't refuse, so Zhang Tinglan thought about it carefully and listed five aspects of preferential treatment.

The first is that the tax revenue will be halved within three years, and 40 acres of land will be provided free of charge as an industrial zone; The second is that the Fengtian government will provide a low-interest loan of 2 million, and the industrial group and Fengtian Bank will provide a loan of 1 million to jointly support the development of the factory; Article 3: The Fengtian government will come forward to help purchase the necessary machinery and recruit talents; The fourth is to ensure the sales of products, sign a supply and demand agreement with Fengtian Arsenal, and all the products of the future factory will be purchased by Fengtian; The fifth is to invite Fan Xudong to join the Fengtian Industrial Group, become a member of it, and enjoy all the preferential conditions of the members of the Industrial Group!

Zhang Tinglan weighed it carefully, it was basically very comprehensive, as for Fan Xudong's specific requirements, let's talk about it later.

Zhang Tinglan hurriedly came to Song Zhongyi's house with the proposed haode documents, Song Zhongyi is a bit of an ascetic, don't look at it is already the largest textile giant in Fengtian, worth millions, but almost every day in the factory, put in a pile, almost no different from the workers.

The house he bought was not far from the factory, in order to facilitate the return and exit, because Song Zhongyi's textile factory undertook Fengjun's military production, so Zhang Tinglan often came to him, and he came directly to Song Zhongyi's home.

Song Zhongyi saw Zhang Tinglan coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him, and when he saw him, his face was full of smiles: "Humble words, why are you free to come to me?" ”

"Old Song, I still want to ask why you are free at home?"

"Don't I have a guest?" Saying that, Song Zhongyi invited Zhang Tinglan to the living room, and at this time, Zhang Tinglan also saw this so-called guest, who turned out to be Zhou Xinyao.

"Yaoyao, the eldest son of the assistant commander is here, everyone is not an outsider, you can also get to know it!"

"Humble words, this is my niece, Zhou Xinyao, a talented girl in the capital!"

Zhang Tinglan didn't expect to meet again here, this shijie is really a little small, he winked at Zhou Xinyao, and then said with a smile: "Old Song, Miss Zhou's surname is Zhou, your surname is Song, how did you become your niece?" ”

"Our two families are world friends, the old lady of the Zhou family, the uncle, the fourth master, and Yaoyao's father and fifth master, we all have contacts, when we ran a textile factory in Beijing, thanks to the help of Mrs. Zhou, otherwise it would not have been possible!"

"Uncle Song, what are you talking about, don't you know that this Jinyi guard next to you, everyone has an account in their hearts, and now they are just pretending to be stupid, that is, you are really, and you are fooled by him!"

The woman is really the most vengeful force, and after investigating her background by herself, she remembered it until now, Zhang Tinglan's face suddenly became a little bitter. Song Zhongyi is not stupid, although Zhou Xinyao is really reproachful, but there is still a grudge in his tone, mixed with intimacy, he woke up like a dream, and said with a smile: "I knew that you all knew each other, why should I waste this energy!" ”

Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to smile and said: "Miss Zhou's medical skills are excellent, I also asked her to help me!" ”

Song Zhongyi nodded, and said with a smile: "This is also the origin of family learning, Uncle Zhou is the master of Xinglin, and Yaoyao is a master of both Chinese and Western medicine, and it is even more blue and better than blue!" ”

"Uncle Song, you guys talk about business, why do you always have to get involved with our family!"

"That's right, don't say it, don't say it." Song Zhongyi said with a smile: "Humble words, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something for me to do, just say it!" ”

Zhang Tinglan nodded, and then said: "Old Song, I want to ask you for help, I heard that Mr. Fan Xudong opened a permanent salt company in Tanggu, and it was the first in China to produce refined salt, which is really remarkable." I also heard that he was planning to invest in the production of other chemical products, so it was like contacting him and asking him if he was interested in investing in Mukden. ”

When Song Zhongyi heard this, he smiled and said: "Fengtian's emphasis on industry is the top in the country, the business environment is good, the government helps a lot, and the industrial group and Fengtian Bank escort, it is indeed a paradise for running industry, I have also heard of Fan Xudong's factory, I am willing to recommend myself, go and talk to him, and start a business in Fengtian, which is definitely a huge help to his career!" ”

"Mr. Fan set up a salt company, in fact, he was forced to be helpless, according to his original mind, he wanted to directly set up a chemical plant to produce soda ash, nitric acid, sulfuric acid or something, but there is no capital, no equipment, so he can only start with the simplest refined salt, and after having capital, he will continue to invest in the production of soda ash!"

Zhou Xinyao told Fan Xudong's background on the side, and Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I knew that Miss Zhou knew the situation so well and drew up preferential conditions, I should have asked you for advice, so that I could have a target!" ”

"Clumsily, you also drew up preferential conditions, can you let me see if you can!" Zhang Tinglan put the document in front of Song Zhongyi, he only glanced at it, and suddenly his breath became short, and he almost jumped up directly.

"Humble words, this condition is too good, I moved the factory, but far from this condition, isn't it a little unfair to you!"

"Lao Song, you are a light industry, people are a chemical industry, of course the conditions are different, if you run a steel factory, the conditions will only be better!"

Song Zhongyi actually said that, he was already very satisfied with the current situation, he said with a smile: "Humble words, don't worry, with this condition, I'm not afraid that Fan Xudong won't agree!" ”

With Song Zhongyi's help, Zhang Tinglan didn't have anything to worry about, more than ten days of hard work passed in a blink of an eye, God opened his eyes, it was all sunny days, and the rice was finally completely ripe, Zhang Tinglan personally ran to the ground, and those old farmers brandished a sickle together, cut down the rice, weighing the heavy, golden ears of rice in his hands, everyone's heart is sweet, and the harvest is only better than estimated!
