Chapter 083 Hongjiang Raiders (3)

Taking advantage of the time when the supervisors were busy saluting, a ragged road repairman rushed to Wang Zhenyu in one step. This sudden change scared everyone.

It was so fast that the guards captain Zhao Dongsheng was the first to react. He was tall and very agile. He took a step forward and kicked the visitor two or three meters away. The visitor wanted to lie down hard, but several guards pushed him to the ground like hungry tigers.

The man struggled but shouted loudly: "My name is Weng Wenhao, I am a foreign student, not a bandit, huh..."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by several big hands. Only then did everyone wake up. The officers and soldiers in charge of the supervisor excitedly smashed the guns at other construction workers, and while smashing them, they shouted loudly, "Kneel down, kneel down, die if they don't kneel."

"Study abroad?" Wang Zhenyu heard these three words, and then looked at the young man who was pressed to the ground by the guards and could not move.

"You let go first, don't be so nervous. They don't even have a guy in their hands." Wang Zhenyu ordered calmly: "What did you just say you are? What's your name?"

It turned out that this young man who suddenly ran away was the young man who advocated asking for a meeting with Wang Zhenyu last night. As soon as the guard let go of him, he shouted loudly, "The student is called Weng Wenhao. After returning from studying in Belgium, he was mistakenly taken to the bandits to build the road. The student asked the commander to make a clerk."

Wang Zhenyu squinted his eyes and looked at the young man who called himself Weng Wenhao: "Why is he here in Shanghai? Why should I believe you?"

Weng Wenhao was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Taking advantage of his recovery, he realized that Commander Wang was as young as he was.

"I returned to China two months ago. I originally planned to work in Beijing. I happened to meet my former classmate Ding Wenjiang, but I ran to the southwest to make a real transfer. I never thought I would meet bandits. More than 20 people in our group became bandits and worked hard. Finally, I waited for the army to defeat the bandits. We thought we were free, but the officers and soldiers of the army mistakenly thought they were bandits and were sent to build roads. They didn't have enough food to say that they were still heavy. We had proof documents, but they were all thrown away by bandits. How do you tell us to prove ourselves?" Weng Wenhao was a little anxious after speaking.

At this time, Ding Wenjiang stood up with glasses with only one foot and said, "Commander Wang, Commander Wang, we are really a life-long life that was captured by bandits. I have met Guizhou Governor Liu Xianshi, and I am considered an acquaintance."

In fact, Wang Zhenyu had already believed what Weng Wenhao said, but now Wang Zhenyu believed it even more.

He signaled everyone to continue working, and then asked Song Haomin to lead the two to rest with him.

"What major do you study?" Wang Zhenyu first signaled Song Haomin to serve tea, and then asked softly.

"Geology" replied in unison.

Then Weng Wenhao explained: "I studied mineral resources, and Brother Wenjiang learned geological exploration and fuel. Specifically..."

Wang Zhenyu was suddenly overwhelmed. He should not tell him such professional things in detail.

"Geology" Wang Zhenyu suddenly had a bright eye. Don't he need talents in this field?

He quickly stood up and said, "I have figured it out. I really feel sorry for the two great talents. In this way, Zhao Dongsheng!"

"Arrival" Zhao Dongsheng heard the commander calling him, and quickly responded and ran over.

"You go with the two gentlemen and bring out all the people from their group. The person in charge of screening will reward me with the Ten Army sticks. What's going on!"

Zhao Dongsheng received the order, Weng Wenhao and Ding Wenjiang hurriedly thanked him, and then followed Zhao Dongsheng...

During dinner, Wang Zhenyu specially held a banquet for more than 20 young talents. These young men are all very professional talents.

To be honest, whether it is political or military reform, Wang Zhenyu has a general direction and a more professional executor, so he doesn't bother much.

But only in terms of economy, after all the struggles, so far, there are only projects in which my father-in-law is still active in the future, cement factory. Apart from this, there is a blank space.

Without industry as the foundation, relying solely on land rent to unify China, do you think it is now the Three Kingdoms?

Therefore, Wang Zhenyu attaches great importance to these geological talents. He knew clearly that whether it is mining or road construction, they are inseparable from these professional talents. The most important thing for industry development is rich raw materials and convenient transportation. These two points are closely related to geology. Although Wang Zhenyu came from later generations, he knew that the reason why the former army was easy to obtain and the general was difficult to find. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, basic education was still very weak. The experts in this period were not the shameless bricks in later generations, and they all had real skills.

Wang Zhenyu was very polite toast these young students. Ding Wenjiang, the largest among them, was only 27 years old, and Weng Wenhao was 25 years old. It was the time for the ups and downs of the morning and to do his career.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Zhenyu took out the bad habits that Chinese people are used to talking at the table: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Weng, this time it was indeed the officers under Wang's recklessness, which made you wronged. Please don't blame them for your sake."

Everyone kept saying that they would not blame them, they would not blame them.

Seeing this, Wang Zhenyu asked with a smile: "In terms of age, Wang is actually younger than you, but now he is sitting in the position of the chief of this prefecture. He is really frightened! He is spared any young and promising polite words. You may also see that Jingzhou Prefecture goes west to Yunnan and Guizhou. The mountains are endless, the resources are limited, and the transportation is inconvenient. The people's livelihood is very difficult here. Therefore, the evil bandits with such momentum are the root cause of the poor people who cannot survive."

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and nodded.

"Today, Wang relied on his brothers to use his life to clear the bandits here in one fell swoop. However, if there is no way to make money and let the people live and work in peace, this bandits will definitely be like the grass on the Liliyuan, and the wildfire cannot be burned, and the spring breeze will grow again!"

Ding Wenjiang was the oldest, so he naturally stood up and raised his glass and said, "Commander Wang is indeed a sincere heart. It is really a blessing for the people of Jingzhou to have a parent official like you!"

Wang Zhenyu waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not afraid of jokes from you. I, Wang, is just a martial artist. To put it bluntly, I can't do anything except killing people and destroying civilization. If you really want to say that industry can save the country, you have to rely on local merchants and you educated technical talents!"

After a sip of wine, Wang Zhenyu said sincerely: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Weng, Wang wants to ask the two gentlemen today, how should we do this Jingzhou land if we want to develop?"

Ding Wenjiang quickly said politely: "We are all poor scholars who are mining. How dare we talk nonsense about these national economy and people's livelihood issues?"

Weng Wenhao didn't have the kindness of Ding Wenjiang. He said directly: "Building a railway has solved the traffic problem. In fact, I have been wandering around here for more than a month. The properties here are not lacking as Commander Wang said, but are extremely rich. Various wild game is not too much for the Northeast. But the transportation is really bad. The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to travel. Freight is entirely dependent on horse gangs. Look at how many villages can't finish eating and the endless resources are rotten in the village every year. If this is rich, it would be strange."

Wang Zhenyu raised his eyebrows and immediately leaned over to listen.

Seeing that Weng Wenhao had said frankly, he couldn't be polite anymore, he continued: "In fact, the western Hunan area is not completely incompetent. Hongjiang and Yuanjiang are incredibly developed. In addition, the key to developing the economy is to rely on industry. Ding has been surveying this place in Hunan, Guizhou and Guangxi for several years, and some information has been found, such as Liuzhou produces iron, Laibin produces coal, and Jingzhou produces limestone. These are all essential raw materials for steel and cement industry. If you really want to develop industry, the western Hunan may not be worse than the plains."

Wang Zhenyu immediately became interested in Ding Wenjiang's information: "Mr. Ding, where is this information now?"

"I guess they were all used as toilet paper by the bandits in the mountains." Ding Wenjiang smiled bitterly and answered regretfully.

Wang Zhenyu was furious after hearing this. What kind of ass do these uneducated beasts look like? They just used popular science materials to wipe them. They were simply bastards...

Seeing that Wang Zhenyu's expression was not good, Ding Wenjiang quickly comforted: "But Commander Wang doesn't have to worry. In fact, these data are all in our heads, and as long as we walk around in the field, they will all come out."

Wang Zhenyu then breathed a sigh of relief and asked the adjutant Song Haomin to inform the kitchen to add food, so that everyone would have a happy meal.

To be honest, Ding Wenjiang and more than 20 people have suffered so much time. So many delicious foods have naturally been made with their stomachs. The officers of the Tiger Brigade were stunned when they saw them.

Everyone was very happy to eat at this dinner. After asking for some questions, Wang Zhenyu arranged for everyone to take their place to live, take a shower, and then each set up a new military uniform to change their own bad clothes...

The next day, on a sketch of Xiangxi hand-painted by Weng Wenhao, Wang Zhenyu began his development plan for Xiangxi.

"Mr. Ding, are you sure there are coal mines and copper mines here in Yuanzhou?..."

"Mr. Ding, are you sure there is a gold mine in Jingzhou Prefecture?"

"Mr. Weng, is there really no iron ore in Xiangxi?"

Faced with Wang Zhenyu's sincere inquiries and learning, Ding Wenjiang and Wenhao answered them carefully one by one like a teacher teaching students.

The final focus of the discussion came to the issue mentioned by Weng Wenhao yesterday, which was the railway issue.

Weng Wenhao didn't dare to speak nonsense at this time. He looked at the sketch carefully and thought for a while and said, "In fact, there are not many mountains in Jingzhou Prefecture and mostly hills, so it seems that it is difficult to build a railway. In fact, there are not many tunnels to be built, and it is not long. I personally think that it should be feasible to build a railway from Liuzhou to Chenzhou here."
