Chapter Forty-Seven: The Tiger's Ass

According to Zhang Tinglan's plan, the total area of the commercial area of the entire North Market has reached 50 square meters, and more than 1.2 million square meters of follow-up development land is also planned, which is mainly in the north of the Imperial Temple, which is also the expansion direction of the entire Fengtian City.

Economic development, the city will inevitably expand, it is necessary to reserve enough land, and the same is true for the future South Market. There are two main places in the North Market, one is the Imperial Temple and the other is the Shenyang Station. Many temples in Chinese history have developed into bustling commercial districts due to their ability to attract a large number of people through temple fairs, such as the famous Daxiangguo Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Imperial Temple is also the largest temple in Fengtian, the bell of the Imperial Temple is known as one of the eight views of Fengtian, around the Imperial Temple, the main construction is a shopping mall, as well as financial institutions such as bank ticket numbers, and three cinemas such as Fengtian, Baoan and Yunge are also planned.

In addition to movie theaters, there are also large and small theaters, and small stages are also set up in the teahouse, mainly to attract artists from all over the world to perform. The era of the Republic of China is the era of opera, there are many famous artists, and the audience is all over the world, it is a very attractive thing, everyone likes to listen to opera and listen to books, even the most inferior coolies are the same, sweating like rain during the day, and a little free to go to the theater to listen to a paragraph.

In later generations, these things were praised as the quintessence of the country and became a real temple culture, but as a result, they were separated from the common people, and without the support of the audience, even the quintessence of the country would decline day by day, which is really sad and lamentable.

Another key point of construction is the Shenyang Railway Station, which is the terminal station of the Jingbong Railway, at the beginning of the Shenyang Station was actually the Huanggutun Railway Station, and later the Jingbong Railway extended to the root of Fengtian City, so a Shenyang Station was rebuilt, and the original railway station was changed to Huanggutun Station.

It is also the only transportation artery controlled by the Chinese leading to Kannai, and its economic significance and strategic value are incalculable, and its development will be of great help to compete with the Japanese-controlled South Manchurian Railway.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan set up this place as a warehousing and logistics center, on the one hand, railway transportation brought a large number of materials in the customs area, which ended here and then transferred to various places. In addition, the products of the three eastern provinces are also transported here, through the Jingfeng Railway movement all over the country, this behavior is undoubtedly competing with the South Manchurian Railway, everyone knows the truth that the building near the water is the first to get the month, and the major businessmen will also use the Jingfeng Railway as much as possible for cost considerations.

Liu Shucheng and others decisively supported Zhang Tinglan's move, and they have already invested in advance to book a large number of warehouses and shops, in fact, this is also the biggest difference in the development of the North Market. In the original history, Zhang Zuolin took similar measures to the development of the North Market as the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened up commercial ports, that is, the government demarcated the area, and then simply divided the land, and the merchants paid for the purchase of the land number, and then built it themselves.

In fact, this approach also has advantages, that is, to save money, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened up the commercial port land, it only took 50,000 taels of silver to acquire the land, which is not too big a lot for Zhang Tinglan now.

However, this way of doing its own thing will inevitably cause chaos in the building, water, electricity, transportation, etc., will be wasted, and the function of the urban area will be seriously affected.

However, due to Zhang Tinglan's insistence, the entire initial investment is amazing, and it takes a huge amount of money to acquire land, expand roads, improve hydropower facilities, and build blocks, especially the huge construction team and an astonishing number of building materials.

Zhang Zuolin initially expressed his incomprehension of Zhang Tinglan's approach, thinking that it was too energy-consuming and financial, but Zhang Tinglan's attitude was very resolute, and he also raised enough funds through Daosheng Bank. In addition, in order to be able to catch Zhang Tinglan's chariot, the businessmen of Fengtian did not hesitate to invest in the Xingye Company to provide sufficient funds and personnel guarantee for the entire construction work, so the financial resources of the Xingye Company were very sufficient.

After the preliminary planning and preparation are in place, the day of the official groundbreaking comes, and all walks of life in Fengtian gather here, which is more lively than the New Year. Especially the businessmen who were usually busy in the past are also a lot, all of them are smiling, and vaguely Zhang Tinglan has become a core among these people.

Lao Zhang also guessed the reason why Zhang Tinglan insisted so much at this time, as the so-called greater investment, the greater the harvest, Zhang Tinglan spent a lot of money to lay all the foundations of the North Market, these businessmen don't have to worry about it at all, they will be able to operate quickly after completion, naturally everyone has to tie up Zhang Tinglan, otherwise this wave of his hand, he can drive you out.

The relationship between the businessmen attracted by the Xingye Company and the North Market and Zhang Tinglan has become closer and closer, and it can already be said that they are a community of interests, these people are all people with huge energy and eyes to the sky, and the help that can be brought by becoming an alliance with them is too great.

Zhang Tinglan was also very excited to do this, but he also knew that he was just a junior, so he couldn't be too high-profile, he put Zhang Zuolin in front everywhere, and took the initiative to pull Lao Zhang and Fengtian businessmen to meet. Zhang Zuolin also patted his chest and assured everyone that the 27th Division would definitely provide everyone with the most haode safety guarantee, and everyone should just rest assured that they would find someone as long as there was a problem.

Everyone's interest was pushed, and seeing that the auspicious time was coming, Zhang Xiluan, the governor of Fengtian, was reluctant to show up, which made everyone a little worried, don't this old bad man have any ideas.

Just when everyone was suspicious, Zhang Xiluan's guards ran over with a tall horse, and after seeing Zhang Zuolin, they hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, saluting Lao Zhang.

"Master Zhang, Lord Governor was originally going to come, but in the past two days, he has occasionally felt cold and unwell, so it is difficult to come. He asked me to make amends on his behalf to the sages of all walks of life in Mukden. In addition, the old governor also said that Master Zhang was in the prime of life, capable, and courageous, and everything was left to him to deal with. ”

After finishing speaking, the captain of the guard turned around and left, his words around the people listened to their ears, the most imaginary is "capable, courageous" six words, this is a more polite statement, translated is Zhang Zuolin has the ability and courage to stand up to him, the governor, the old man can't provoke you, can't he still hide from you?

In fact, Zhang Xiluan was indeed angry, and it was a monstrous anger, the core of a city is the business district, Zhang Zuolin and his subordinates openly developed a commercial center, but they didn't even say hello in advance. When everyone is ready, from sending an invitation for him to attend, can Zhang Xiluan stand it.

Anyway, this is also known as the fast horse Zhang, when he was young, he was skilled in bowing and horses, and he was also a general, but he didn't expect to be bullied like this by a junior when he was old, and the old man was completely enraged, but he had no other ability, so he could only close the door and thank the guests, and come to a silent protest.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Xiluan is so angry is because of interests, according to the plan, the security and taxation of the North Market are all responsible for the Industrial Company, and in Zhang Xiluan's view, this is controlled by Zhang Zuolin. The tax rate implemented in the North Market is completely different from that of other areas in Mukden, and the police are also in their own right, which is an independent business kingdom to put it bluntly.

Facing a fat meat dripping with oil, Zhang Xiluan, who is the dignified governor of heaven and governs the military affairs of the three eastern provinces, can only watch, even if it is a clay man, he has three points of earthiness.

Zhang Xiluan played a temper, and so did Zhang Zuolin, when he saw that this old scumbag actually let himself eat soft nails, Zhang Zuolin's eyes also flashed a trace of essence.

Lao Zhang forcibly suppressed his anger, changed his smile and said to the sages from all walks of life in Fengtian: "Everyone, my godfather and his old man have worked hard for the country all these years, guarding one side, and how much effort has been spent. ”

Zhang Zuolin's words are also inflicted, and he is directly telling everyone that Zhang Xiluan, the old bad man, should get out of class, and Zhang Yuting will have the final say after Fengtian.

It stands to reason that Lao Zhang's words are already a bit rebellious, but the businessmen present secretly applauded, since they were tied to the chariot of the 27th Division, they hoped that there would be a tough figure to provide them with protection, so that they could survive in the gap between the government and the foreigners, so the tougher Zhang Zuolin was, the happier everyone was, and there was a way out with him.

Without Zhang Xiluan's participation, the whole groundbreaking ceremony was also smooth, Zhang Zuolin personally unveiled the archway of the North Market, and also symbolically dug the first spade soil, and the project was immediately launched, Qiao Ruixuan was mainly responsible for the construction work, and he and the hired Western engineers worked together to direct the workers to work.

Just when everything was starting smoothly, Liu Shucheng hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan, and as soon as he saw Liu Shucheng, his face showed an anxious look: "Zhang Shao, our grain truck was seized in the birch bark factory, they asked us to call the toll, otherwise all the grain will be confiscated, our grain store ships so much every day, if the supply is not enough, it will be troublesome!" ”

Zhang Tinglan's brows suddenly rose: "Lao Liu, you don't have to worry, there is no one to make us afraid on the ground of Fengtian, whoever wants to find death, we will fulfill him." ”

"Zhang Shao, I inquired, it was the local Haoqiang Gao family who robbed our grain truck, and the old lady Gao is the father of Gao Ming, director of our Fengtian Finance Bureau, the Gao family is powerful, and they rely on Gao Ming's power to do whatever they want, and the scourge of the township is the most rampant."

After Zhang Tinglan and Liu Shucheng cooperated, they initially sent a lot of soldiers to escort him, if anyone didn't open their eyes, these bandit-born soldiers would definitely not be polite, and after a period of time, the local people also understood that this group of people could not be provoked, so as soon as they saw the neat horse convoy, they naturally avoided it far away, and then simply did not send soldiers to escort it, and there was a problem.

"A financial director dares to come out to look for death, I am worried that I can't find the chicken, so let him know what it means to be a tiger's ass and not touch!"
