Feng Jun entered the Customs and gained a large amount of funds. He also moved back to the Dagu Shipyard of Nanyuan Navigation School. In addition, more than 300,000 people in the Beijing-Tianjin area have immigrated outside the Customs one after another, and many more from Hebei Province will follow.
People in the area also moved outside the customs, and many young students also arrived in Fengtian. This can be said to be a good harvest in both human and financial resources.
Not only Zhang Zuolin was very happy, Wang Yongjiang, the great steward, was even more delighted. The three northeastern provinces were going to carry out construction, and various investments were quite large. However, Fengtian's economic foundation was not as good as that of the wealthy provinces in the pass. The reason why the current investment situation can be maintained is that
In fact, it is maintained by all kinds of black money and borrowings.
Eradicated the Communist Party, snatched a large amount of funds and land, recovered the Middle East Road, and gained tens of millions in income. They also made a lot of profits from smuggling to Russia. In addition, after Fengtian Bank took control of the finance of the three northeastern provinces, Fengtian Bank
It will become much easier for the military to borrow funds.
Relying on these incomes, Fengjun's various projects can proceed smoothly. However, these financial resources have a common characteristic. They are all temporary. The loan amount is limited. The reason for smuggling to Russia is because of the war between the great powers. Now the war has ended.
There are signs of the end.
What Wang Yongjiang is most worried about is how Fengjun will rely on to maintain his huge investment after these financial avenues are cut off, what to do with immigrants, what to do with industry, what to do with education and infrastructure! A series of problems are placed in front of Wang Yongjiang.
Relying solely on the existing economic foundation of the three northeastern provinces will definitely not be able to achieve a virtuous cycle, and many businesses may come to a halt.
However, with the end of this trip to Guanhai, Wang Yongjiang threw all worries away. With this huge income, Fengjun's finances suddenly took a big tonic. Within five years, not only
There will be too big a problem. Not only is there no problem, but the scale of investment can also be significantly increased.
Five years later, Fengjun's various factories were on the right track, with a large amount of tax returns, and the finances could continue to operate in a healthy manner. It can be said that Zhang Tinglan's trip to the customs has completely given Fengjun's development a bright future.
, how could Wang Yongjiang not be overjoyed!
As soon as Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang got off the train, Lao Zhang and Wang Yongjiang took the lead to greet them.
"In my humble opinion, the battle was fought beautifully and things were handled simply, good! Good! Good!"
Lao Zhang said three good words in a row, obviously extremely happy, Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang hurriedly saluted Lao Zhang with a military salute.
"Commander, the army has completed its mission. After returning victoriously, please give me a lecture, Commander-in-Chief!"
At this time, other Fengjun officers and soldiers got off the train and stood neatly on the platform. Lao Zhang was full of joy and surrounded by everyone. He reviewed these soldiers and finally Lao Zhang walked in front of all the soldiers.
, said loudly: "Brothers, you have brought honor and glory to Fengjun. Let everyone in the world know that in the land of Guandong, there is a powerful Fengjun, who protects the family and the country, and upholds justice. In order to reward everyone
For your contribution, this military operation will be used as a priority reference factor for future promotions. In addition, each person will be rewarded with ten yuan and three days of vacation!"
The soldiers were indeed very tired. In addition to fighting, they also searched property, interrogated criminals, and carried trophies. Everything was physical work. After being busy for so long, they deserved a break. When they heard that Lao Zhang took the initiative to give him a day off, everyone was happy.
After settling these soldiers, Zhou Xuexi and others also got off the train and formally met with Lao Zhang. Zhang Zuolin seemed very enthusiastic: "There has long been a saying in the world that Zhang is from the south and that from the north is Zhou. The Zhou family is the leader of the northern industrial community and has long wanted to go."
Goodbye, now we are even more of a family, we should be as close as possible!"
"Shuai Yu is stationed in the three eastern provinces, and his might is frightening in all directions. His men are all strong generals and soldiers who are accustomed to fighting. They are the heroes of the world. I hope that Yu Shuai can take care of him in the future!"
"I haven't mentioned it yet. I am the youngest and most capable general in the Fengjun Army. He is also my nephew. He is no different from his biological son. We will become in-laws from now on. I have prepared a banquet at the Commander's Mansion to welcome you!"
Lao Zhang accompanied Zhou Xuexi and others back to the handsome manor. When the banquet was being prepared, Lao Zhang called Zhang Tinglan into his study. The only one sitting beside him was Wang Yongjiang. Obviously Lao Zhang wanted to know Zhang Tinglan personally.
some situations.
"Honestly, Minyuan and I have seen how much we have harvested. It is indeed an amazing amount. I am very happy. But tell me about other situations. What is the future trend of Beiyang? Will it have any impact on Fengjun?
"
Zhang Tinglan had been preparing to report these things to Lao Zhang for a long time. He had already prepared the draft in his mind. After sorting it out a little, he said: "Commander, it can be said with certainty that Zhang Xun's restoration was promoted by Duan Qirui. Lao Duan hopes to use this
Although we have stirred things up a bit to capture Li Yuanhong, Lao Li will not last long as president and will be driven out. Another point worth noting is that the conflict between the Beiyang, Zhijiang and Anhui cliques has been completely resolved.
It has surfaced that they all want to compete for control of the central government, and there will definitely be more intense struggles in the future!"
Zhang Zuolin nodded slightly, then took out a secret letter and sent it to Zhang Tinglan, "I would like to say, this is the secret letter sent to me by Sun Dapao. He hopes that Fengjun can cooperate with him to jointly conquer Beiyang, and also
I promise that once things are accomplished, I am willing to use the Yangtze River as the boundary to divide the world equally."
When Zhang Tinglan heard that Sun Wen had sent a telegram, he was also very curious and hurriedly read it carefully. Sun Wen's telegram was full of compliments. He praised Fengjun for putting down Zhang Xun's rebellion, but in the end Sun Wen was still not satisfied.
Instead of bragging, he said that all the governors in the southwest were ready to protect the law and wanted to invite Fengjun to act together and start from the north and south together to completely eradicate the influence of Beiyang.
"Commander, the so-called protector of the law is worth a temporary agreement. Zhang Xun's restoration has interrupted the legal system of the Republic of China. Duan Qirui is going to take this opportunity to completely revise the temporary agreement, oust Li Yuanhong, and concentrate the power of the central government in his hands.
.The temporary agreement was passed by Sun Wen during the Revolution of 1911. He could not bear the disappearance of his political influence, so he united with the southwestern warlords Tang Jiyao, Lu Rongting, Liu Xianshi and others to prepare for some kind of law-protection movement. But those people would not listen.
As for Sun Wen’s order, at best it’s just Sun Dapao’s dream, and there’s no chance of success!”
"Well, that's my opinion too." Lao Zhang said: "But I'm worried that after this incident, Lao Duan will focus on Feng Jun. Why not support Sun Dapao, give him some money, and let Sun
If the artillery can hold on in the south for a while longer, it can be considered as buying us time to develop!"
The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Both Sun Wen's party and Fengjun want to seize the power of the central government, but the two sides are taking different routes. Zhang Tinglan's goal is to develop steadily and eventually everything will come naturally, while Sun Wen will not give up anything.
Opportunities, desperate efforts.
Historically, Sun Wen did receive funding from Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Tinglan did not reject this plan, but he also knew the dangers of Sun Wen's party, so he had to control the heat, otherwise he would be playing with fire.
"Commander, I think we can give Sun Dapao some support, but we can't give it to him in vain. We can sell arms, and we must also properly infiltrate Sun Wen's gang members. After all, if Beiyang falls, we will be the official enemy.
You can’t help but be on guard!”
"Just do as I said." Lao Zhang agreed to this suggestion, and then Lao Zhang said: "I say, the Japanese have already lodged a protest with me, objecting to Fengjun's construction of the oil pressing plant, and at the same time they are dissatisfied with our construction of Jifeng.
Railway, during this period the Japanese have been constantly creating friction in southern Manchuria. They obviously have bad intentions. How do you think you should deal with it?"
"Commander, this time I searched Fan Dongyang's home and found a lot of correspondence. The Japanese are planning to use the Fan family's property as an intelligence station to spy on the situation outside the customs. Although we stopped this operation, we can still
It is conceivable that the Japanese will not give up their ambitions towards the three northeastern provinces, and even say that their hostility will only grow stronger, so we must always be vigilant."
Wang Yongjiang also said from the side at this time: "Commander, what I said is right. The Japanese have regarded us as their opponents. The more they object to something, the more we must step up our actions. As long as we use the fastest speed to let them
When Fengjun becomes stronger, we don't have to worry about Japanese blackmail."
Lao Zhang's brows furrowed. With such an evil neighbor like Japan watching over him, the pressure on Fengtian's shoulders was indeed heavy.
"Well, I'll let the Japanese and others deal with it for now. As for the construction, don't stop at all. How should it develop? Do you have any plans?"
"Commander, I have gotten enough funds back this time. I think we can prepare a five-year long-term budget and invest an additional 50 million every year. The first is industrial investment. We will strive to make Fengtian owned by Fengtian within two or three years."
The factories under construction are all operational, and the output of steel and coal will increase significantly. The second point is to invest in agriculture, a large number of immigrants, a large amount of land reclamation, and to control people and food. In fact, Japan has also
Importing grain from the three northeastern provinces to supply the country is also a card we have, and we should use it. We cannot always be blackmailed by the Japanese, but we must also counterattack them."
Zhang Tinglan strongly agrees with the strategy of developing industry and agriculture together. This is like two legs of a human being. No matter which leg is weak, it will affect the rapid development of Fengjun.
Zhang Tinglan then added: "Commander, what Mr. Minyuan 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. And then there is us.
We need to legislate to require girls to go to school, and we need to increase the proportion of girls in school!"
"My humble opinion is that if you let boys go to school, you can still make money to support your family, but if girls are born with foreign surnames sooner or later, many people are not willing to spend money."
"It is precisely because of the preference for boys over girls that I suggested the establishment of a special bill. In society, although men have a greater proportion of work, women are more responsible for family education. In other words, women's cultural quality is, to a large extent,
It determines the quality of the next generation. Investing in boys is for the present, while investing in girls is for the future and must not be neglected." (To be continued.)
