Zhang Yi looked at Shi Dakai with a face of surprise. I really didn’t expect that Shi Dakai still had such a grand ambition when he was over 70 years old. He has been living for 40 years and has made the old man wash away the lead China and stop asking about politics.

I didn’t expect that today he would directly say something like rebuilding Gankun. It’s far from simple for the old man to go for it.
Shi Dakai chuckled, "How can you be strong? Have you never thought like this?"
Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "Sir, it’s easy to rebuild Gankun. Now, although the Great Qing Dynasty is in the sunset, the state of the Western Hills has collapsed, but the millipede is dead but not stiff. Now there is Cixi. Although this old woman is stubborn and arrogant, she has to admit that there are some tricks. The court situation is firmly controlled. It is far from mature to rebuild Gankun."
Shi Dakai laughed. "If you want to have such a mind, you should redouble your efforts to be yourself. If you don’t lay a good foundation first, you won’t be ready to win the Central Plains at the moment when the Qing Dynasty building will fall down. That can blame others. Now the general trend of troubled times has become that you don’t prepare, and the opportunity will fall to those who are ready! The arsenal navy is the most powerful weapon for you to compete in the Central Plains in the future! "
Zhang Yi looked at Shi Dakai with a dribbling smile and replied, "Sir, relax and be free to arrange your two plans. These two things are really mature. The construction of the arsenal has started military students. I also communicate with Germany in English. We have some rigidities and there is no way to advance it for the time being. We have to rely on Germany first."
Shi Dakai laughed. "Although the most powerful naval force is still English, the most advanced technology is no longer English. You should look far away, and there are two countries, the United States and Germany, where technology is the world direction!"
Zhang Yi suddenly realized like an awakening. Yes, Britain has always wanted to sleep forever if it wants to prevent China from reviving, but that doesn’t mean that the United States also thinks so. It is difficult for advanced Britain to control the direction of the United States, but the United States can strengthen its cooperation.
Zhang Yi laughed. "Sir, you woke up the dreamer Zhang Yi with a word, which benefited a lot. I will strengthen my luck when I pick it up. You can rest assured."
Shi Dakai nodded and said, "You’ve been too busy recently. You can leave some things to face people to do. Don’t worry that they can’t do well. Talents emerge in the process of tempering. How can they let go if you don’t let go?" Play more so that you can spare more time to think about Fengtian’s development strategy. Those who don’t plan for the situation don’t plan for a domain, and those who don’t plan for generations don’t plan for life. You must remember that your energy must be the most strategic! "
Zhang Yi is still too young to look around the world for military affairs, but he is still too immature and immature for political affairs. This is so reasonable that he has really matured a lot.
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Sir, we have military talents, but we are too short of political talents. Now Tan Fusheng, Liang Zhuoru and others have just arrived in the West for less than a year, and they certainly won’t come back so soon. I have no talent at hand. I can’t always talk to nave’s adult."
Shi Dakai laughed. "Why do you have to find Li Hongzhang? You can find Kang Nanhai. Kang Nanhai lives in the capital and has a lot of friends. The prestige among scholars is quite high. You two have been teaching by example for a long time. He will naturally help you. Won’t there be talents then?"
Zhang Yi nodded and replied, "Sir, you’re right. You can say that Yang Du is very disciplined at a young age and has a lot of finesse. It was only more than a month ago that he firmly controlled the assessment of the Chief Secretary’s officials. He said that during this period, we actually discovered some talents. When I go back, I will give Kang Nanhai a hand and ask him to help."
Shi Dakai said, "Well, although Tang Shaochuan’s injury hasn’t healed yet, he can walk now, and he can come back to you in half a month. You are not so worried."
Shi Dakai said, "When Shaochuan comes back, you can let him study naval students with Americans or English people. He has quite a few contacts in the United States for many years and must be good. In addition, Li Hongzhang can do something. This Li Zhongtang is sure to be able to cope with it. Compared with him, you are really not very mature."
Zhang Yinai sighed and said, "Sir, you have all come from the wind and rain for decades. Everyone’s experience is far from being comparable to that of a 20-year-old. It’s just that nave’s adult court has stood up for decades and the average person can’t look back. Where can I compare with him?"
Shi Dakai smiled and said, "You don’t underestimate yourself. In ten years, you will overwhelm us old guys. After ten years, can we old guys still be alive? I really don’t know who can compete with you."
Zhang Yi laughed. "It’s very simple that Rong Lu, the capital city, is the leader of the royal family, and Yuan Shikai, the backbone of Shandong Province, is also a Chinese hero overseas, and there is a newly famous Sun Wen. They will all be sex figures in China in the next 20 years."
Shi Dakai nodded and asked, "Since you have a good idea, which direction do you want to change in the future? Is it constitutional monarchy in English or democratic republic in France? Do you have a good idea that the future world will be party politics? Whether the monarch controls the whole country or not, politics will definitely be a party. This is the general trend. Do you have any ideas in this regard?"
Zhang Yi laughed. "Sir, I had this idea for a long time. Recently, I have been trying to get out of the way and always let Huai Jin prepare. Later, when I felt that Huai Jin was too busy, I handed it over to Shaochuan and Liang Dunyan. They have been working on it for two months. I have seen that the first articles of association are not yet mature, so we can’t help being a political party again, a country’s rise and fall, and a future political party."
Shi Dakai said, "Today, we are primitive and civilized. They don’t know what party politics to talk about with them. First, we should set up a political party to control the army. Second, we should start a newspaper to publicize the western ideas and change people’s ideas. Third, our political party can be established and play a real role!
Chapter two hundred and fifty Income and expenditure
Busy time is the fastest.
In a blink of an eye, another month has passed, and it has entered the early autumn.
At this time, Tang Shaoyi’s body has recovered, but there is still some weakness, but it has not affected the daily office workers
On this day, when Zhang Yizheng was resting in the general’s office, Tang Shaoyi came in and said, "The general has news. After this period, many parties and the American envoy promised to come to Fengtian in three days to see the business atmosphere in Fengtian. If it really has a good investment environment, they will join the entrepreneurs of the United States to invest in Fengtian."
Zhang Yi was shocked and asked, "Did the American minister come in person?"
Tang Shaoyi nodded and said excitedly, "Tian Xiali, the minister of the American legation, will come to Shengjing with two economic secrets. It depends on us whether they can impress the general then."
Zhang Yi smiled slightly. "No, after more than half a year of governance, the country’s prosperity and people’s livelihood are more stable than those of other provinces. There are still people who are willing to invest without rampant horse bandits." The second country is different from other provinces, and other provinces are exclusive to investment, but we welcome it, and we will also give preferential tax treatment, which is not seen in other provinces in this country; Third, the population of Fengtian has now surged to 9 million, and it will definitely exceed 10 million by the end of the year, and it has laid a solid foundation for the commercial development of Fengtian with a large number of businessmen. Fourth, I still have a big gift waiting for the Americans. This is a big gift that will be crazy even if the Germans know it. I don’t believe that our great advantage can’t impress the Americans! "
Tang Shaoyi ha ha smiled. "The general is getting more and more sophisticated now. You dug a hole and waited for the Americans to jump in. They just wanted to run and they certainly couldn’t move. Didn’t we just get trapped by the way you drew the pie?"
Zhang Yi laughed and pointed to Tang Shaoyi and said, "Haha, it’s too late now. I always want you people to work hard for Lao Duo …"
Zhang Yi, Tang Shaoyi is getting closer and closer now, and the two people have been magnanimous.
Tang Shaoyi frowned briefly. "Now it’s only been half a year. Look at us. Mukden has invested 12 million silver. There is no calculation of our army consumption. If we add the army consumption, he has invested more than 156 million silver. If we keep going like this, I’m sure that the general’s investment will exceed 22 million silver this year. This is a scary number. Our entire income in Mukden this year will not exceed 3 million. The gap is too big even for me. With the support of German loans, we will also be stretched. You should know that in the second year, our army will be expanded, two universities will be established, so many primary and secondary schools and railways will be put into construction, and even Yingkou Port will be built. We will invest at least forty-two million yuan as planned, and our tax plan will continue. Then my fiscal revenue will be too different. How can we spend German interest loans like this? But how long can we not help but spend it? "
Zhang yi frowned slightly and said, "What? We’ve all slipped in so much money? Why do I feel that I have done nothing? It’ s too wave, I haven’ t done anything! "
Tang Shaoyi was immediately got up by Zhang Yiqi and said, "How can you reorganize your army? How did you build your armament school? How did you attract nearly four million people? Which of these doesn’t cost money? Fortunately, we have made a profitable business. If not, then I have to throw in a lot of money to fight bandits. There are also investments in setting up banks and investing in coal-steel mixtures. Don’t you have to get millions of silver? "
Zhang Yi said slightly, "I’m afraid of what soldiers will block the way. It’s good to survive these two years. Look at the fact that our bank will definitely make a profit in 2008, and our coal-steel mixture will also make less profit in 2008, which will keep the balance of money. There is definitely no problem. What’s the big deal? Let’s try to find other ways to open source and reduce expenditure. Don’t open source and reduce expenditure. What we need now is to expand production. We can’t be afraid of spending money. We will definitely earn it back sooner or later. It’s a little late to Fresh back 67 million 2 million bandits income four or five million vehicles, and then clean up those corrupt officials, plus our fiscal revenue base has been able to keep the balance of payments this year. "
Tang Shaoyi said, "What about Nian? In 2008, we would have lost these windfalls, but we would have millions of financial revenues. We are just like gladiators, so why should we pay this money back? You know, after five years, we will start to repay the money in installments, and the annual repayment amount will reach 4 million and 2 million silver. What if our annual income is less than 3 million and 2 million now? "
Zhang Yi laughed. "Shaochuan, relax. After five years, our bank’s coal and steel industry will lose us 12 million silver profits every year. At the same time, do you know how many enterprises will remit to Fengtian in three years? How much tax will these enterprises pay to the general government every year? "
Tang Shaoyi said, "Even if we are so determined, we can still pay off our foreign debts, but we will invest every year. After that, we will invest 20 million silver every year and repay the loan. We will not be less than 32 million every year! ！”
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Thirty-two million? Shaochuan, your appetite is too small. My plan is that from this year on, our financial investment in Fengtian will increase by no less than 20% every year, which means that if we invest 20 million this year, it will definitely reach 45 million or even more than 50 million in the fifth year! "
Zhang Yi paused briefly and then said, "Don’t worry, Shaochuan, after three years, our population in Fengtian will definitely exceed 20 million, and there will be more and more commercial enterprises in Germany, America and other western countries. If you have nothing to think about, you will dare to do it!"
Chapter two hundred and fifty-nine US Minister Tian Xiali
Zhang Yi and Tang Shaoyi communicate closely. In these days, Tian Xiali, the American envoy, finally came to Fengtian with several of his cronies.
Zhang Yi led all the senior officials in Mukden to receive Tian Xiali and others grandly, and gave Tian Xiali super-high reception specifications and placed them directly in the general office.
Tang Shaoyi Tian Xiali’s old friend invited someone to introduce Tian Xiali to Zhang Yi solemnly.
Tian Xiali bowed deeply and said, "Dear General Jian, I am glad to see you again. I hope our meeting will be a complete success, so that we can both benefit from each other and achieve a win-win situation."
Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Dear Mr. Tian Xiali, there is an old saying in China that buying and selling doesn’t make righteousness. Even if our talks don’t succeed, I hope to establish a deep friendship with you. Tonight, we will arrange a grand dinner for our distinguished American guests at the General House."
Tian Xiali said with a smile, "One of the reasons why the Minister came to Fengtian this time is that some time ago, he heard that Shaochuan was assassinated and was seriously injured, and his old friend should come and visit; Second, Shaochuan has repeatedly invited me to come to Fengtian to let me inspect the scenery of Fengtian. To be honest, I have been staying in Fengtian for seven years. At that time, I was impressed that Fengtian was full of bandits. It was not peaceful. No one wanted to come here to do business. I hope that General Jian’s rule of Fengtian will be different. "
Zhang Yi laughed. "To tell you the truth, Mr. Tian Xiali invited you to come here because I instructed Shaochuan to do it. Since I came to Fengtian, I have noticed that bandits are rampant here, which has seriously threatened the social development here. Many businessmen are even more reluctant to come here. The first time I invited Mr. Qiao Zhiyong from Shanxi Province to visit Fengtian with a Shanxi business delegation, all the mountains were robbed by bandits. It’s really not like that. When I was angry for a month, I will raze the bandits’ nest in Fengtian. Now you will never see bandits again! I also heard that what Americans like most is doing business. American businesses are all over the world. I sincerely hope that Mr. Tian Xiali can introduce some American friends to Fengtian to invest in mining and set up factories. "
Tian Xiali’s eyes flashed with a smile. "General Jian wants us Americans to travel across the ocean from Wan Li to Fengtian to open mines and set up factories. Without favorable conditions and rich profits, it is difficult for them to be impressed. General Jian doesn’t know that I am very willing to help you personally. I don’t know what kind of generous treatment you can give to American businessmen. I know that you have given the most abundant coal and steel complex in Fengtian to the Germans. I wonder what else you can give to us Americans? "
Zhang Yi laughed. "Mr. Tian Xiali is really a joker, and I won’t beat around the bush. First, after half a year, the policy of attracting people has been implemented, and now the population of Fengtian is close to 13 million. After three years, I think the population of Fengtian will definitely exceed 2,000. This is not only a vast commercial market in Fengtian, but also a rich and cheap labor force. This is probably the second thing that you want to see most in the United States. Now Fengtian is not the same as it was three years ago. Now, the social and economic steaming day of Guotai Min ‘an is here, Road construction, highway construction and modern transportation network are also what businessmen want to see most. The third most important thing is that Americans invest and set up factories in Fengtian. We will all except for three years of production tax. Without tax pressure, your international market will be more competitive, won’t it? Which country can compare with the United States? "
Tian Xiali face unchanged still laughed "that’s all? Mr. Jian, if you just say these words, you still can’t change the view of American business owners. You know, Toyota’s most precious coal mine and iron mine have been handed over to the Germans, so what benefits do we Americans have? "
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Tian Xiali, I know that the most valuable and crazy thing in the United States today is not coal mines and iron mines, is it? What is the craziest resource? Mr. Minister, you already have the answer in your heart. "
Tian Xiali eyebrows slightly doubt asked, "how do you say it’s black gold? But I heard that the whole three northeastern provinces have no oil resources. "
Zhang Yi laughed. "Mr. Minister, the three northeastern provinces are vast and Fiona Fang is thousands of miles away. Can several exploration teams handle it? To tell you the truth, there are several large oil fields in the three northeastern provinces, even very large oil fields. If I say these oil fields, I even know the specific location. What do you think, Mr. Minister? "
Tian Xiali surprised with your eyes open and asked, "General Jian, what you said is true? Does this land really have a large oil field? "
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Mr. Minister, I can tell you for sure that Fengtian really has a large oil field, and the oil layer is very shallow and easy to develop."
Tian Xiali wait for a while took two minutes and suddenly grabbed Zhang Yi’s hand and said, "Are you going to give this oilfield to us Americans to fuck?" Isn’t it? "
Zhang Yi said with a smile, "If Mr. Minister is an entrepreneur in your country who doesn’t want to invest in Fengtian, forget it. I will hand over this oil field to the Germans. After all, I am really relieved to hand it over to the Germans."
Tian Xiali’s heart was full of blood. Zhang Yi didn’t mean that Zhang Yi had to invite Americans to invest. He didn’t want to put eggs in one basket. On the one hand, Germany could compete with the court, and on the other hand, it could expand investment channels in Fengtian instead of just limiting Germans.
Tian Xiali jumped up and said excitedly, "General Jian, if what you say is true, I think American business owners will flock to Fengtian or the three northeastern provinces, which will make sure that those people are crazy about looking for oil every day."
Zhang Yi laughed. "Mr. Minister wants to come and you are very willing to let us pull the line?"
