The Hu Bian from the Fengbo Pavilion and Tumu Fort brought Wang Yi's relationship with the Cen family much closer. In the last life, Cen Yuying fell ill due to the Qing and French War and died early. His third brother Cen Yubao ended up swallowing gold and committing suicide because of his support for the reform movement. Cen Chunxuan also participated in the political movements in the late Qing Dynasty many times and supported the reform. Although he failed in the battle for power with Yuan Shikai, he was also a patriot. A year before his death, during the Battle of Shanghai, Cen Chunxuan donated 30,000 yuan to the 19th Route Army who was fighting against Japan.

Because he knew these history in later generations, Wang Yi always maintained a different kind of respect for the Cen family. Of course, it was impossible to make him completely believe in the Cen family, which was loyal to the Qing court. [..com]

"Build a railway from Hanoi to Yunnan and Guizhou?" The railway matter is still a taboo in the Qing court. Only in Zhili Province, Li Hongzhang built a coal transportation railway with the Kaiping Mining Bureau, and was ginseng all day long. This shows that the Qing court was backward and conservative, but not only in the official position, but the people were also very repulsive of railways. Thanks to the development of the Northeast Autonomous Region, the labor export of the Qing court provinces made the people who came out to work gradually accustomed to the existence of railways and realized the benefits of railways. In the past two years, the trend of public opinion among the Qing court has also changed, and the calls for the Qing court to invest in railways have also increased.

"I wonder who will pay this fund?"

Originally, Wang Yi had already allowed the railways of the five Southeast Asian provinces to extend to Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, but later it was shelved due to public opinion issues. The Cen family was not openly proclaimed at that time, and Wang Yi did not force it too much, so it has been delayed until today.

"The issue of funds is easy to discuss, but if we want us to increase our investment in Yunnan and Guizhou, the railway must be built. Otherwise, the transportation capacity will not keep up, and even if we invest a lot, things will not be transported out."

This is the biggest problem that has troubled the Cen family. After all, the transportation capacity is limited and the cost is high. Today, Cen Yuying proposed to increase investment in Yunnan and Guizhou by Da Shang and even the entire Northeast because the rapid development of the five Southeast Asian provinces has already had a people-absorbing effect on Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. In addition, the relatively relaxed political environment of these five provinces and the people's lives are relatively free, so many Yunnan and Guizhou people have begun to immigrate to the five southern provinces.

This is the main reason why Cen Yuying couldn't wait to see Wang Yi when he heard that Wang Yi came to the five Southeast Asian provinces.

"There is a saying in our Northeast China that if you want to be rich, build roads first! Only when the freight route is unobstructed can the economy of the entire region operate and better trade contact with the external environment. So to use a metaphor, the transportation route is like a regional vein, and the railway is equivalent to the artery that provides the main nutrients. Relatively speaking, I personally prefer Guangxi, after all, there is water transportation support there. And you, Yunnan and Guizhou, are a little worse in this regard."

Cen Yuying also knew his own situation, but he also understood that once he accepted Wang Yi's conditions, he would have completely boarded the Northeast pirate ship. If he thought about it, it would be impossible. After thinking about it, Cen Yuying was still unsure of his mind. Wang Yi did not force him, but started chatting with Cen Chunxuan beside him.

"Chairman, those guys who are studying at Dashang Affiliated College, are you still working hard?"

This is Cen Chunxuan's test. Let's see if Wang Yi really pays attention to their Cen family. However, it is a bit difficult for Wang Yi to speak of. After all, there are countless students in Da Shang now, and the grandchildren of the Cen family are thrown into it, just like dripping water into the vast ocean.

Fortunately, Wang Yi was still quite impressed by him, so he smiled and said, "The study is pretty good." He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but he was just a little dandy.

It is said that the playboy of the Cen family is inherited from the ancestors. Now, Cen Chunxuan, who is in front of Wang Yi, looks like a human and a demon at this time, was also known as the three evil young men in the capital. When he thought of this, Wang Yi laughed secretly.

Of course, the Cen family members are playboys, but they will still be restrained in the northeastern territory, otherwise Wang Yi would not be abusive to the temper.

"What happens in the future, Chairman Wang, you have to take more responsibility."

Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "As long as it is not an illegal crime, I can naturally maintain it, but I will not be able to interfere if I really get to that point."

The laws and rules in the Northeast were all set by the people of the Wang area. If he took the lead in breaking the law, there would be no hope in the Northeast.

Cen Chunxuan understood what Wang Yi meant and smiled and said, "It's true. I don't have to do anything with the chairman. I will destroy them myself."

Everyone smiled and expressed their opinions.

Cen Yuying, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Chairman, I have something to do. I wonder if I should ask?"

"It's all right to talk to others, Governor Cen please tell me." Wang Yiqi said.

Cen Yuying put away her smile at this time and looked at Wang Yi with her eyes, as if she wanted to find the truth from his eyes.

"Although we have seen the development of Northeast China over the years and the territory is growing, Mr. Chairman, please tell the truth, what are the plans for Northeast China in the future?"

"Great Unification." Wang Yi said it was an understatement, and he did not seem to have considered it much. However, this performance also made the Cen family's father and son understand that the firmness of the Northeast goal was not enough for him to think about it.

Even though Cen Yuying was prepared, she still took a breath of cold air unconsciously. Instead, Cen Chunxuan nodded secretly and said to himself: "It's true."

"The chairman seems to be very confident in this?" Cen Yuying sneered.

Wang Yi shook his fan and smiled and said, "It's just the trend. I'm going to ask the Governor, do you think the common people are happier to live in the Northeast Autonomous Region or to live in the Qing Dynasty?"

Cen Yuying was speechless when asked. If he really said something against his will, he would not use it here today. At least the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have already voted with their feet. They would rather leave their hometown than stay in Yunnan and Guizhou. Tens of thousands of people left in a province every year, which was really too much pressure for Cen Yuying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Cen Chunxuan cleared the scene at this time and said, "Chairman, I do not deny the strength of the insurance team, but the Qing Dynasty is vast after all, how can you say that the Qing Dynasty will lose? There is no power to fight back in front of your insurance team?"

Wang Yi laughed and said, "That's right, the Qing Dynasty is very big, but Beijing is very close to the Northeast."

"The royal family can move the capital!" Cen Chunxuan faced the tit-for-tat.

"Are you still the royal family in the Qing Dynasty leaving the capital, the royal family in the Northeast?"

"This..." Cen Chunxuan suddenly realized such a problem. Yes, is it the Qing court supported by the capital, the Northeast and Mongolia, or the Qing court? The south is the world of Han people. Perhaps in the eyes of the Qing royal family, who were full of the minds of the confrontation between the Chinese and Chinese, the south may be even more terrifying.

"Don't forget, the court has begun to build a new army!" Cen Yuying reminded.

Wang Yi put away his fan at this time, and said to the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou on the hospital bed, "Is it a good time to run a new army near the capital. If it is far away or promoted nationwide, I really won't have to do it at that time."

Cen Yuying heard that Wang Yi was obviously not optimistic about the new army, but in fact he was the same. You should know that most of the Northeast Insurance Team were defeated from the battlefield against Russia. Although the Qing court paid for the new army, a group of new recruits had any combat power. This is not the huge gap between the two sides in terms of weapons, equipment, logistics and medical care.

The room became silent. Neither Cen Yuying nor Cen Chunxuan said anything. Wang Yi naturally would not say much at this time, so he opened the fan again and shook it gently.

After a while, Cen Yuying seemed to have reminisced from her meditation and said, "Chairman, if one day I really unify China, I wonder how you will deal with the Qing royal family?"

"Neither title nor privileges will be retained. All royal assets, including the Forbidden City, will be nationalized, and eunuchs and palace maids will be dismissed home. However, the Northeast Autonomous Region Government should leave a property or shares of certain companies to the royal family and these severed personnel, so that they can have the means to live independently."

"Do you think there is really a day when the Qing royal family will accept such conditions?"

"It's better than the conditions left for the former Ming royal family when they entered the pass." Wang Yi finally felt chill in his tone. "In the midst of the choice of life or death, the conditions I offered were not so difficult to accept."

"If there is such a day, I hope you can keep your promises, Chairman." Cen Yuying's voice seemed earnest and a hint of helplessness.

"Governor, you seem to be wrong. What I just said was not a promise, but a statement. What I mean was that in the process of unifying China, I, Wang Yi, did not want to kill the Qing royal family, which was different from those who entered the pass. However, what would happen then depends on the performance of the Qing court. If they really don't live up to the past and resist stubbornly, of course I would not be stingy with the bullet money and coffin money."

Cen Yuying nodded because this is reasonable. Both sides are already on opposition, so how could Wang Yi promise a good ending for the enemy?

"I know what the chairman means. I agree with the first condition that the chairman put forward is to extend the railway into Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. As for the pressure from the court, I also hope that the chairman will help share one or two."

Cen Yuying has not yet had the ability to compete with the Qing court, so Wang Yi naturally knew it, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you have anything to do, just push it to me. If someone in the capital is dissatisfied, let them go to Ningdao, Northeast China to find me, and I will give them a satisfactory reply."

"Then Cen is here to thank the chairman for help."

The Cen family's attitude has been clear, and they are ready to climb the big tree in the Northeast. This is also a helpless choice. As the Cen family gradually contacted the outside world, reading books published by Dashang, after being baptized by the Qing and French war, they became more and more clear and profound in understanding the development of the world. The dynasty built by the Qing court can no longer survive on the land of China. Before this familiar environment collapsed, the Cen family's top priority was naturally to find a solid backer. At present, in addition to seeking a foreigner, the Northeast seemed to be the only choice.
