7. Tianjin Military Garrison (1)
"These two things are enough," An Dehai said, "If these two things are used well, they will be enough for us to prosper for ten years!" The matter of the railway, we are already in the layout, Shengjing to Jilin, the weather is colder, how to build the railway, I heard that the Russians have a secret recipe for building a railway in an extremely cold place, so I don't want to find someone to learn it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Russia is only afraid that it will not be willing to give."
"Add silver is," Andehai didn't care, "they want money the most, as long as the silver is smashed down, they can take out anything, we are not interested in the rest of their things, I heard that the Tsar has a house of precious stones, very magnificent, Lafayette does not like these things, if you like, let's throw tens of thousands of silver down, maybe they can steal the best." ”
A few people smiled and nodded yes, "It's still difficult to go to Jilin," a person on the side is obviously responsible for the construction, "To the north, the cement is easy to freeze and crack, but if you go from the Shengjingtong Railway to North Korea, the railway in the east-west direction is not hindered, father-in-law, my subordinates to tell the truth, this railway, it is not easy to build!" ”
"Oh, why is it so hard to build?" An Dehai lowered his head and just looked at the map, Zhu Zhiyi stood on the side and looked inside, the map seemed to be drawn in the Northeast Whale Sea and North Korea.
"North Korea does not have much interest there, coal and iron minerals are not as rich as the Northeast, and foreign affairs have been opened for so many years, but our businessmen go to North Korea, very few, all North Korean businessmen come to China to do business, not to mention, if you want to go to North Korea, it is most convenient to start from Tianjin, this railway, I am afraid that there is no interest even here in Shengjing, and this railway will only be exchanged by officials of the Li Fan Yuan in the future."
This person's words are not wrong, if this railway is not a necessary transportation artery, and the second is not able to make money, then there is no need to build it at all, many people agree with this point of view, just to look at An Dehai, An Dehai shook his head, and said with a smile, "You people, I know your thoughts, I'm afraid that if you lose your capital in the future, I will blame it, and I will blame me for this," he raised his head and looked around at everyone, "Our business was profitable before, although we raised a lot of people, but in this business, in the end, it was profitable, With such a railway, it seems that it is going to lose money, and it is no wonder that the big guys are in a hurry, but most of our things cannot make money. For example, this Golden State, those people are recruited, brought to Golden State, how much money is made, it is difficult to say, our factory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the first priority is of course to make money, but this second point is also the most important point of the Queen Mother Lafayette, the factory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not only to make money, but also to help the imperial court's plan, the imperial court to open the border, to build the governor of the Northeast, the railway is the best way, let the Northeast develop rapidly, the railway is not important, needless to say, right? Everyone's favorite big yellow croaker and prawns, the train brought it up like this, and the food is much fresher than before, right? ”
Everyone smiled slightly, what An Dehai said was good, "North Koreans are not much, but in the end it is also a country, the people in Beijing like fresh things the most, their Korean ginseng is no worse than the white ginseng, as long as we build the railway, there will naturally be many business opportunities, don't worry about this, besides, even if it is a loss, this railway must be repaired, Governor Rong's excerpt has made it very clear, this railway can deter the Japanese, this is a transaction that no amount of silver can buy!" ”
Since it was An Dehai's idea, the big guy didn't say much after putting forward his opinion, and An Dehai instructed, "Those ginseng and mink skins in the Northeast must be collected well, no matter the small ones, the big ones must be managed by the Internal Affairs Bureau, although it is opened, in the end there is a difference between inside and outside, and the factories of the Internal Affairs Department must be run well." Let's eat the meat first, and then the people outside will drink the soup. ”
"Where is Vladivostok, father-in-law, are we going to send someone to help?"
"There's no need for us to contribute there," An Dehai said with a smile, "The Internal Affairs Office is not a good hall, what can be done there?" Don't we really have a cornucopia? As for the railway, I still have to fight with President Hu, ask him to allocate a few million to me, and then let the Ministry of Railways spit out a little, and treat this money as a principal, so that I dare to invest in this bottomless pit. Let's not worry about Vladivostok, let Marshal Rong and the military department have a headache. ”
After discussing the matter of trade with Russia, everyone dispersed, these are the backbone of the factories and shops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although they are all wearing civilian clothes here, but they are all official outside, according to the Empress Dowager Cixi, these are "officials and businessmen", and when these people are gone, An Dehai smiled at Zhu Zhiyi, "You are rare to come here today, what does Lafayette want you to say." ”
Zhu Zhiyi said the words of the Queen Mother, "You want to give a big gift to the North Koreans? An Dehai thought for a while, "In that case, then give the soldier who went to the capital, who is Concubine Min's nephew, a special export permit." ”
As long as you have this license, you can purchase goods in China in accordance with the exclusive management method, China's most exquisite silk, the most beautiful porcelain, and the most precious tea can enter the North Korean market with this license, and others can't get these goods, this is a great gift, for Concubine Min, no matter what, she is the most exquisite woman who pays attention to life.
"You're giving it to him, is this all right?" Zhu Zhiyi was a little worried, "In the end, this matter has nothing to do with North Korea, after all." ”
"What are you afraid of, Concubine Min is not a fool, this permission, the Min family can't eat it, she can just use it to buy people's hearts, if Concubine Min has the idea of eating it all, she will not have a rock-solid position in North Korea for so many years, just let a good person do it for her. The two of us brothers are both people who serve the Queen Mother Lafayette, what a small country with him, don't delay your spirit! ”
The little eunuch took the tea and went back down, and Zhu Zhiyi said again, "I said brother, there are no outsiders here, you have suffered losses, and you still have to be cautious in everything - I didn't mean this permission, I just heard you say that you want to build a railway to North Korea?" Is this easy to do? ”
This "is it easy to do" has a strange meaning, a little inexplicable, but An Dehai understood, he smiled slightly, "Eat a trench and grow wise, brother, I know the rules here, this railway, it was the son of Joseon who begged for a long live lord, and my brother took it, not for the long live lord, or because of this matter, it was Lafayette who asked." ”
