In the early morning, Siping City was still immersed in the faint morning light, and the wake-up call woke the military camp from its deep sleep. In a very short period of time, the officers and soldiers were quickly awakened, got up, dressed, and quickly assembled in the playground.

The recruits lined up in groups, districts, divisions, and squads. The selected squad leader candidate sergeant shouted loudly: "Report the number."

After the number of people on duty was determined, the non-commissioned officer on duty immediately applied for instructions. After receiving permission, the troops began to run.

At the sound of the whistle, the enlisted personnel formed a team of 40 people and began to run around the school field in a queue of 4*10. He Rui was a member of the long running queue.

There are certain gaps between each team. According to the basic running speed and relative gap distance, the commander at each position will ask each team to speed up or slow down to maintain the stability of the entire formation. It is like a circular formation like an ancient vehicle formation.

Running in an orderly manner on a site that is not very wide.

After participating in the two-kilometer morning run, He Rui returned to the office and continued working. After working for several days, it was inevitable that he was a little tired. But He Rui was in a good mood and could complete this part of the textbook compilation work with just half a day of hard work.

The secretary assigned to He Rui classified and placed the contents according to the numbers. He Rui himself only had to proofread the order of numbers, which was much earlier than expected.

Near noon, He Rui finally completed the scheduled paperwork. While the young officers came to receive the manuscript, He Rui took the opportunity to wash his hair, face, and cut his nails.

"Is it General Zhang who is coming? The military governor is dressed like this." Cheng Ruofan was a little curious.

He Rui replied: "It is Yasuki Mitsui of the Mitsui Zaibatsu who is coming."

As expected by He Rui, when they heard a Japanese name, the young soldiers couldn't help but frown.

He Rui knew that anti-Japanese sentiment was serious in the army, so he smiled and said, "I know you don't want to see the Japanese, so you don't have to show your face. After accepting them, go back to work."

Seeing that He Rui was about to leave, Cheng Ruofan quickly asked: "Report to the Overseer, I have a question to ask the Overseer. Every time I see a stupid guy, I get angry. Even though I know that officers and soldiers are equal in personality, I still can't help but want to beat him or scold him.

How to solve it?"

He Rui did not answer immediately, but looked at the other young officers. Seeing that they all felt sorry for me, he replied: "This is a question of psychological self-restraint. In fact, according to our conscription

Standards, most recruits can complete basic training, but there may be individual differences. In addition, most of the soldiers are illiterate and are unfamiliar with the collective life and standardized training of the army. Everyone must give a certain understanding."

He thought for a while and said seriously: "Beating and scolding are officers' venting of their own incompetence, which does not help solve training problems. I hope everyone can overcome themselves and not degenerate into the old warlord army like Beiyang. I will give you specific methods.

Everyone, please mention one."

In the afternoon, led by the officers and soldiers who went to the train station to greet Mitsui Yasuki, Mitsui Yasuki and Noguchi Nobuo, who had arrived before, arrived at the gate of He Rui's headquarters. He Rui came out to greet him in person and said enthusiastically when shaking hands with Mitsui Yasuki: "I learned that Mitsui

Sir, I am really overjoyed to come here in person."

Mitsui Yasuki smiled all over his face and held He Rui's hand vigorously: "Your Excellency, you are too polite. When I was in Japan in the past, I knew that He Jun was definitely not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect that He Jun would be broken in just two months.

Come out."

After entering the headquarters and taking a seat, it was already training time. There were sounds of footsteps outside, and occasional commands. The troops had completed today's physical training, and now it was queue training time.

Mitsui Yasuki listened for a while and said, "He Jun has organized the army and practiced martial arts. It's a prosperous scene." After saying this, he smiled slightly and said, "I heard that He Jun took control of Siping with lightning speed. I'm an old friend in Tokyo.

We are all very happy.”

He Rui said humbly, "Everyone, I'm just doing my duty as a soldier. Northeast is the frontier where China, Japan and Russia meet. If we master Siping as soon as possible, I can contribute to international peaceful exchanges as soon as possible."

Mitsui Yasuki nodded and said solemnly, "He Junzhen and I have the same mind. Our Mitsui family has always believed that in today's East Asia, the only way for China and Japan to join hands is to coexist and prosper together. Among them, economic cooperation is the most important.

When I come to mainland China this time, business is secondary. I would rather contribute to your cause and the economic exchanges between China and Japan."

He Rui looked happy, held out his thumb and praised, "The Mitsui family really understands righteousness, and they really deserve to be Japan's number one business family. Your Excellency has far-reaching strategies, and you really deserve to be the elite of the empire. He admires them very much."

Mitsui Yasuki said with a smile, "Of course we all share the same goals, but I don't know what He Jun needs. I, the Mitsui family, are willing to work for He Jun's great cause?"

He Rui quickly waved his hand, "Where is it? Your Excellency, you should ask Mr. Mitsui Yasuki to show your love. He should cooperate."

Seeing that He Rui did not spit, Mitsui Yasuki simply said straight to the point, "General He, what Japan urgently needs now is raw materials and food." As Mitsui Yasuki said, he took out a business list and handed it to He Rui.

He Rui opened it and took a look. The food was mainly rice, the minerals were coal and iron ore, and the others were cotton, soybeans, etc.

At this time, the orderly had already brought tea and fruit products. He Rui put down the instruction manual, picked up a piece of sorghum glutinous rice and handed it over, "Mr. Mitsui, we are also developing beet sugar pressing. This is a specialty of my hometown, Shandong, called sorghum glutinous rice. Do you want it?"

Give it a try?"

With that said, He Rui ate a piece first. Now He Rui doesn't have white sugar, and the method of making corn syrup only exists on paper. He has to wait for the professor from the chemistry department invited by Zhao Tianlin to arrive in Siping before he can start research and development. The sweetness is perfect.

It comes from caramel, but it can also be called a dessert.

Mitsui Yasuki tried a small piece, but couldn't tell whether he liked it. After taking a sip of tea, Mitsui Yasuki asked: "What's the price?"

He Rui wrote a number and handed it to Mitsui Yasuki. After reading it, Mitsui Yasuki thought for a moment and asked, "I would like to visit the factory. Could you please allow He Jun?"

He Rui knew that he wanted to conduct an on-site inspection and immediately agreed. The group set off on horseback and met Wu Youping at the factory not long after. The group looked at the raw material warehouse, fuel warehouse, production workshop, and storage warehouse one by one.

Mitsui Yasuki didn't talk much, and every question he asked was about the production process arrangement. He Rui had spent some time in the initial stage of the industry recently, so he answered very easily. However, Wu Youping came in midway and was a little nervous.

A considerable part of the people outside the customs are from Shandong, and there are also several families in Siping City that produce malt sugar sporadically. After receiving He Rui's plan, Wu Youping discovered that what He Rui asked was how to organize production and how to streamline the production process. There was no requirement for output for the time being.

.

The candy factory is not large in scale, and there is not much pressure on the supply of raw materials. However, the construction process is very cumbersome. Wu Youping listened to the translator describing the conversation between He Rui and Mitsui Yasuki, but he could not understand what the two people meant, and he felt uneasy.

After the visit, Mitsui Yasuki praised: "If I didn't know that Governor He graduated from the University of China, I would believe that Governor He graduated from the Business Department of Dongda University. I don't know what Mr. He's future plans are."

He Rui smiled but did not answer, and pointed forward, "Mr. Mitsui Yasuki, do you want to walk further away?"

Mitsui Yasuki was stunned for a moment, but then he readily agreed and said with a smile, "Of course it's up to the guest to do as he pleases, but you can arrange it."

The group of people traveled north and stopped to watch a dozen miles outside the countryside. They saw a camp built on the wasteland. Some people wearing prison uniforms were clearing the land.

He Rui pointed to the large tracts of wasteland, "Mitsui-san, Northeast China has not experienced large-scale development yet. It is vast and sparsely populated. Jilin Province is very suitable for large-scale operations. This is the direction I want to develop in the future: using a large number of labor forces to build construction projects."

Water conservancy, reclaiming land to build a super-large-scale agricultural production base, and planting food and cash crops on a large scale.”

Mitsui Yasuki raised his eyebrows, greatly surprised. He observed carefully for a while and asked calmly: "He Jun is really ambitious, but I don't know what arrangements are made for cost control and sales channels?"

He Rui pointed to the land in front of everyone, "The land in the Northeast is fertile and has geographical advantages for large-scale intensive production. Although the overall investment in the early stage is not low, once the unit output is measured in units of acres, compared with the traditional traditional Chinese and Japanese

The small-scale peasant economy appears to be very advantageous; as for sales channels," he smiled, "China-Japan trade has a long history and will not end with the end of the European War."

Mitsui Yasuki thought for a moment and tentatively said: "I wonder if my Mitsui family can participate in the investment?"

He Rui laughed and said, "The Mitsui family is Japan's largest chaebol. Mr. He Lao is responsible for such crude farm work." He turned to look at Mitsui Yasuki, "I want to cooperate with Mr. Mitsui in the field of agricultural product processing."

"

Mitsui Yasuki did not stay long and left by train the next day. Before leaving, Noguchi Nobuo temporarily stayed in Siping as the representative of the Mitsui Consortium.

Mitsui Yasuki was sent away. Wu Youping asked with some worry: "Warlord, Mitsui comes and goes in a hurry, what is he here for?"

"It's just a preliminary business inspection, you don't have to think too much."

Wu Youping was puzzled, "You came here from Japan and just took a look? Warlord, we have much more to do than what he saw."

"What Mitsui needs is a business partner who can cooperate stably. For him, it is enough to see that we have stable control of Siping and can organize production well." At this point, He Rui made a little joke.

, "He cares about the eggs, not the chickens that lay them."

Wu Youping was not so optimistic. He heard from Xu Chengfeng and others that some people in Japan advocated that Manchuria and Mongolia were the lifeline of Japan, and felt that the greed of the Japanese could not be suppressed.

There was some hesitation in his heart, but he did not say anything. Wu Youping asked: "Supervisor, according to the resolution of the last meeting, we need to seize the time to start rural work. Now that the rural survey personnel are ready, should we send them out now?

?”

He Rui nodded, "Send it now. Especially for the villages on the list, the preliminary investigation work must be detailed enough."
Chapter completed!
