Yung Wing’s proposal was actually Yang Rui’s idea. Yang Rui nodded and continued: “The third is capital. Our original intention is to make money by starting a company and then support the revolution. However, the market in China is too small, and if you want to make money, you still have to go to the United States. So we hope to hire a gentleman as our consultant and use his connections to help us start a business.”

After Yang Rui said that, Yung Wing laughed loudly. Kang Liang and others used the hard-earned money donated by overseas Chinese to enjoy themselves in the name of starting a company, but here they used their own money to start a company for the revolution. A few months ago, Liang Qichao came to the United States to raise funds on a tour. When he passed by Harbin City, he visited him. The two sides had different positions and ended with nothing. After laughing, Yung Wing said, "There is really a way to become a country. It's a pity that some people, hey, it's better not to say it. What company are they going to start?"

Yang Rui suppressed his idea of ​​telling him that the United States already has a company, and said: "I already have some rough ideas, but I will only know the specific things after I go back to China. I will contact Mr. I will then contact him."

Yung Wing agreed to this, and Yang Rui continued: "The most urgent thing now is: the technicians of the arsenal should start preparing now. After returning to China, I will raise money. I hope that at that time, my husband will have a specific plan, such as how much funds it takes to open such an arsenal to purchase equipment, and what equipment it needs? And how many technicians are needed, what education is needed if these people are trained successfully, where to put it in training, and how long does it take to train? Finally, it is the issue of funds. How much funds are needed after the plan is launched?"

His cautious nature caused Yang Rui not to tell Yung Wing where the Revival Revival would revolt, nor did he tell him about the Northeast Railway and the former Ming royal family. Yung Wing was wanted by the Qing court after the Independent Army Uprising. If the business line, especially the domestic business side, was connected with Yung Wing, then those who are interested could easily turn their attention to Zhong Guanguang. Therefore, Yang Rui did not reveal any of the other two things that Yang Rui came to the United States. He only said that his itinerary was to go to San Francisco after leaving New York and then take a boat back to China.

The deep conversation in the study continued until late at night, and it was not until the clock struck eleven o'clock. When Yang Rui asked to go to bed the next morning, he had already gotten up and was reading books in the living room in a good spirit, which made Yang Rui admire his health. It started snowing all night since Hartford. Looking at the crystal white world, Yang Rui couldn't help but think of the Northeast where he would stay in a few months. I really don't know if he would hang in that piece of white mountains and black water. When I read those time travel novels in the past, I didn't worry about the fate of the protagonist, but now it's not. Who can be sure that he is the protagonist? Thinking of this, Yang Rui couldn't help but complain that the time travel god didn't get a bulletproof vest for him, but when he thought that sometimes the bulletproof vest was useless. In addition to bullets, shells would also kill people. It's better to leave it to fate!

Yang Rui lived at Yung Wing's home in the next two days. The two had few other topics except to talk about how to rebel and how to revolution. His eldest son Rong Jintong was a metallurgical engineer, graduated from Columbia University, and his youngest son had graduated from Yale University. He is now working at Boglin Arms Company in New York. Yung Wing said that if there was a need for revival, he was willing to send them to serve the country, but Yang Rui felt uneasy. In this way, he took away his son. What if the old man had something to do? He had to say that the country is not safe now and the arms production is not used so quickly. When the situation is opened up, the situation will stabilize and then decide based on the situation. Yung Wing agreed.

Soon, at Thanksgiving dinner on November 26, Yung Wing announced his decision to the two brothers. Of course, he did not say anything like revolution, but only said that he hoped that the two brothers would return to China to serve the country. Although Yung Wing had been a US citizen for decades, he always regarded himself and his two children as Chinese. The atmosphere in the restaurant became solemn because of these words. Yang Rui was very restless. Faced with such an excuse, he could only find an excuse to escape in panic, and then in the room, the excited voice of Yung Wing in the restaurant. It was obvious that the two brothers were not necessarily willing to leave the comfortable United States to a place called barbaric and backward by the media, although his father had such deep feelings for China.

The next morning, Yung Wing told Yang Rui that Jin Huai would organize the personnel of the future arsenal in the United States in the past two years and go to the Northeast a few years later. According to the actual situation, if domestic needs are needed, he will immediately resign and return to China for service. Faced with such a result, Yang Rui really doesn't know what to say.

The day before leaving Hartford, Yung Wing took Yang Rui to a school and passed by a three-story building and said, "It turned out to be the former study abroad firm. It was built in 1875 and cost the imperial court 75,000 US dollars. At that time, I thought the imperial court had spent so much money here and would always stick to its study abroad plan. Unexpectedly, it was withdrawn in less than a few years."

Yang Rui knew about the Qing Dynasty's plan to study in the United States, and Yung Wing was the promoter of this plan. Because it died in the middle, only a few of the four batches of more than 100 international students completed their studies, and the others dropped out of school and returned to China. If this study plan had been persisted at that time, then China would have been a different look.

"Quan Gong." Before, when Yung Wing talked about the matter of the Chinese parliament, everyone called him Quan Gong, and Yang Rui also learned to call him. "This is the first time the Qing court wasted. If the study abroad plan was not interrupted, then China might be in a different way."

Speaking of this past event that has been devoted to hard work, Yung Wing was still very moved and said for a while: "They are too old and have no way to lead this country. In fact, China will rely on you young people in the future, but you must unite."

Yang Rui knew what he meant. Now it was hard to say anything on this question. He just said silently: "Yes, as long as everyone has the same ideas, they will naturally be united."

The next day, Yang Rui bid farewell to Yung Wing and came to New York. When he just returned to New York, McNeill sent a telegram from Wang Jitong a few days ago. The telegram said that the US ambassador to Beijing sent someone to find Zhong Tourism. The two sides had a very pleasant chat. After Zhong Tourism stated the two conditions, the Americans expressed their willingness to borrow money for the railway. Zhong Tourism responded according to Yang Rui's previous email that there is no need for a loan for the time being, and reiterated the guarantee of inviting American companies to manage after the railway was completed, and hoped that the United States could open a consulate in Andong and invest in the construction of the Ocean Terminal.

On November 30, Yang Rui received another telegram from Wang Jitong. The report of the Antongfeng Railway was approved by the Qing court. In order to complete the project smoothly, Zhong Guanguang was also given a Shangfang sword. The Qing court indicated that if someone maliciously obstructed the road construction, he could take action first and then report. At the same time, the Ministry of Commerce also approved the "Antongfeng Railway Charter" on the second day, and the original text was not changed. The Qing court was very willing to have such a railway, which could make the influence of railways inside and outside the pass into the northeast.

Inland, and this railway is different from the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. Because it goes through mountainous areas, the cost of road construction costs but limited returns, and the commercial office is the best. Before, Russia did not dare to approve it, but now the United States is holding Britain, and Britain and Japan are all signaling the Qing court to approve the railway, so the Qing court immediately agreed on the road. The next day after the railway approval, the newspaper published this news, and the Russian Minister Resal had no response. It seemed that Russia had already agreed to the result.

Yang Rui was very happy for a moment, which made the others outside the office inexplicably confused. The Americans outside were surprised to see their boss Mr. McNeill bringing a Chinese. Although the anti-Chinese style is not popular on the East Coast, under the influence of newspapers and public opinion, Americans have no good feelings for the "coolie" who "little dirty, licking internal organs and not believing in God". At this time, they were even more disgusted when they heard the exaggerated laughter of the Chinese outside. Fortunately, the Chinese disappeared quickly.

On December 3, Yang Rui embarked on the Pacific Railway, which was hailed as the seven wonders of the world's industry by the British BBC in later generations. This 3,786-mile-long railway is divided into two sections. The section close to the east coast is called the Union Pacific Railway, and the section close to the west is called the Central Pacific Railway. The boundary is in Ogden. Because it is really long, it takes seven days to cross this railway. Yang Rui arrived in San Francisco on the 10th. Like in New York, after putting on makeup, he only spent 800 dollars to find four detectives to help make up stories, and also asked for additional help to find engineers who can build railways in the west. Soon, the detectives all passed back the names of the same company and the Chinese - Seattle Guangde Company, Chen Yixi.

According to the detectives, Chen Yixi is an old overseas Chinese. The main business of Guangde Company he opened more than ten years ago is to help the railway company recruit workers and contract the construction of railways - to be precise, this company is a railway construction contractor. Chen Yixi himself is famous because in the Seattle anti-Chinese case a few years ago, he used legal means to help the damaged Chinese workers seek justice.

"So, he is in Seattle, right?" Yang Rui asked in surprise. Seattle seemed to be in Canada. He originally thought that overseas Chinese were gathering in San Francisco, but in fact, it was not. There were overseas Chinese in many cities in the United States.

"Yes, Mr. Jordan, you can take the train to pass by, it only takes about two days." The detective from the firm enthusiastically guided him the way.

In Seattle, Yang Rui found Guangde Company. Chen Yixi was an old man in his sixties. His capable temperament seemed to be a Japanese under his suit and ties. In fact, he saw Chen Yixi look like a Japanese, and people also saw him look like a Japanese. If Yang Rui hadn't said he was from China when he reported it, he would have wanted to ask questions in English.

He was a little surprised. Although there were many Chinese people who came to ask for help, they all had braids. Chen Yixi asked, "Young boy, what can I do if I want to do?"

The vernacular he used, Yang Rui could only listen to a rough idea, meaning that he was asking him for something. "Mr. Chen, it's about a railway." As he said that, Yang Rui handed over a copy of the Los Angeles Times, which was specifically about commenting on the Antong-Bong Railway, the first private railway in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it mainly analyzes the impact of this railway on Meimo's trade after its completion. The author of the article believes that the Anton-Bong Railway, which the Qing Dynasty promised to open in China and the China-US business agreement will be a solid foundation for the further growth of the United States' trade with Manchuria.

As an engineer who built a railway and as a Chinese, Chen Yixi knew the news, of course she only knew it. According to convention, the railway was immediately handed over to foreign engineers to build. At this time, when Yang Rui took out the news, he said in surprise in English: "Are you going to build this railway?"

Yang Rui smiled and replied in English: "Yes, Tonghua Railway Company does not want to hand over the construction of the railway to foreigners, so they sent me to the United States to find Chinese people with experience in building roads. If Mr. Chen had no other reason, I really hoped that he could undertake the construction of this railway."

Chen Yixi became silent when she heard this. Things were very sudden. Suddenly, such a nearly four hundred miles of railway was brought to him for repair. It was a bit incredible, but Yang Rui looked like he didn't seem to be joking. Yang Rui seemed to know his doubts and took out some information about Tonghua Railway Company and Antongfeng Railway. In fact, this railway was planned in the room by him in front of the electronic map, and the most original information was all here.
