Zhong Guanyu's hobby is chemistry. He has no idea about bank currency at all, but his conviction with Yang Rui made him easily accept his explanation. He said: "Okay, I will make plans based on the number of 300,000 people. In this way, the number of people and food allocations of ships and various points will increase."

Yang Rui nodded, "Well, this is also the reason why I said I only set up some stations in Dongying and Huang County. Immigration of 300,000 next year is a small amount. If you operate well, you will have no problem with increasing 100,000 or 80,000. In recent years, there have been floods and droughts, and the people will not survive. We must prepare for the increase in the number of people, especially the boats cannot be missing." Many of the helpers sent by Mr. Dong have touched them back to Shandong, so Yang Rui is more familiar with the situation there.

Zhong Guanguang also read the report made by these people, and knew that many places in Shandong were indeed suffering from misery and were full of sorrow. Thinking of his own strength, he could not save many people, especially in two ports in Dongying and Huangxian. The hungry people in the mainland could not reach the beach when they were hungry. Their ended up starving to death on the way to escape famine.

Thinking of this, Zhong Guanguang said, "It turns out, we...ah." There was an indescribable helplessness in his words.

Yang Rui knew what he thought when he saw his face, and he felt sad. He was in the concession before, but in the past six months, he often traveled to the northeast forests from Tianjin to Tonghua. Therefore, there were many poor people. Among the forests of Changbai Mountain, many thatched huts were built on the slopes of the river and the foot of the mountain, living in some ragged clothes and fleeing famines from the pass, with ragged clothes and sluggish eyes. These people saw them.

The beard didn't run away at all, and he was old and just watched numbly. Women and children hurried in their thatched huts in their homes. Whenever they saw this, Yang Rui's heart would be cold. In modern times, he had never seen anyone living in a hut, nor had he seen such a dark, thin and numb person. The more he was determined to join the revolution, he would break through this evil old society. Although immigrants nowadays are both saving people and strengthening themselves, countless people can't save them.

He sighed, "It's not that I'm cruel. Now if we want to save more people, there is only this. Who can let us have such a court that only knows how to collect and dress up in foreign countries? For the sake of this, the more immigrants, the more stable we will be in the Northeast; the more stable we will be in the Northeast Station, the more stable we will be in the future. Xianhuan, save those who can be saved."

The meeting between Yang Rui and Zhong Guanguang will end soon. On the second day, Du Yaquan, who came from Shanghai, came alone to visit. After all, when Zhong Guanguang left the New Year, he had to take over many things in Tonghua. In the future, the cooperation between him and Yang Rui was very critical to Northeast affairs. As the general manager of the commercial line airborne to Northeast, Yang Rui must cooperate.

In Yang Rui, who only knew about learning about the late Qing Dynasty through history textbooks and time-travel novels, the name Du Yaquan was very unfamiliar. At the beginning, Yang Rui disagreed with him. After all, this was Cai Yuanpei's recommendation. Yang Rui knew that Cai Yuanpei's criteria for selecting people. He valued character and was more talented than talent, so he did not pay much attention to this person. But later he heard that Wang Jitong also admired him very much and planned to let him take over business affairs in Shanghai, so he paid more attention to him.

Du Yaquan's information has been sent over long ago. As Yang Rui, who once decided to be an HR, there are three ways to understand people without seeing others. One is personal experience, which is the most real and cannot be faked. As long as a person's life is compressed, the person's thoughts will be clear and what he wants, of course, except spies; the latter is the MBTI professional personality test in the late Qing Dynasty. As long as the rules are strictly followed, this test is well-known, especially in this era when the answers to the test are not yet known, it is not easy to fake them. In the end, there are some evil ways, such as blood type, zodiac sign, zodiac sign, etc., which are half accurate and half inaccurate, and can only be used as a reference.

Du Yaquan became a scholar at the age of 16. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he abandoned the imperial examination and changed to mathematics. Later, he served as a teacher at the Shaoxing Chinese and Western School. Cai Yuanpei was familiar with him at this time. In the year of Gengzi, he founded the Yaquan Academy and Yaquan Magazine in Shanghai, and all the funds were suspended. In 2002, he became the principal of Xunxi Public School because of study. He later resigned because of study. He was preparing for the Shaoxing Education Association under China Education and held a Yue County Public School. He almost stopped the school with insufficient funds. Finally, he was reborn with the help of the Chinese Education Association.

It is not difficult to see from such an experience that this is a patriotic person. Although the method he recognized was to save the country through education, as long as he was a patriotic person, there was nothing to worry about. The result of the professional personality test was ISTJ civil servant type. Yang Rui smiled when he saw this result. When he was studying personality tests in the school library, he did this result. However, when he graduated and looked for a job, he often adjusted his answers based on the recruitment requirements based on the overall test. If it was sales, the results would be outgoing, and if it was administration and internal management, the results would be introverted. Among graduates who had good grades and "changeable" personality, he got a lot of offers...

Du Yaquan's test results made Yang Rui think of the chaotic but happy time in the second half of his senior year. How could it not travel through time to travel to my student days? If that were the case, how beautiful it would be. He left the unfinished files and sat on the tiger-skin chair with his hands in his head. Yang Rui, who was comfortable holding the back of his head, thought so rudely. Before he officially started rudely, someone outside called for a report, but it was said that Du Yaquan had arrived, so he had to calm down and go to the living room.

Du Yaquan came from Tonghua and walked dozens of miles of mountain road, with wilderness all over his eyes. When he arrived near the camp, he was very aware of the sentry that came out from time to time to time to check the road. Finally, after turning the mountain road, he saw the entire Hongtuya camp. Although Hongtuya was a Huzi camp, it was expanded several times after the troops occupied it, and it was huge in scale. Because Yang Rui attached importance to camp planning and strict internal affairs, the camp area was uniform, clean and orderly, and it was no longer obvious that this was a bandit village in the past.

Du Yaquan was shocked when he saw such a camp. He was surprised not that the camp was big, but that the camp was so orderly, the roads and the houses on both sides, and the soldiers who were pursuing the purgatory. Although he had not gone abroad, Du Yaquan had seen many things. He felt that this soldier was not comparable to the disasters of the Qing court. Even the foreign soldiers in the concession might not be much higher than this. He achieved this result in less than a year. He couldn't help but be curious about Yang Rui and Yang Cheng, the president of the Revival Association, whom he was about to meet.

The first time Yang Rui and Du Yaquan met in their lives was in the corridor outside the living room - no matter what, as the airborne high-level staff, the important left and right players in the future. When they first met Yang Rui still had the courtesy that this era should have. Yang Rui left the living room and saw Du Yaquan who was surrounded by several people after dismounting. He was actually a middle-aged man less than 30 years old, wearing a black gentleman's outfit, wearing a round glasses under a black melon-skin hat, with fine white skin and bright eyes.

When Yang Rui saw him coming, he bowed and shouted loudly: "Brother Qiufan, I have misunderstood my fault, I'll forgive me for my crimes." After that, he laughed.

At this time, Du Yaquan had already seen Yang Rui on the corridor. He was about to walk into the greeting but saw Yang Rui speak. He smiled, but said, "Don't dare, and then Yang Rui greeted him and entered the living room."

After the ceremony, there was no one in the living room. Both of them had no intention of drinking tea. After a while, Yang Rui saw that he was still very calm, so he said first: "Brother Qiufan, here we are here in the Northeast. What is the impression, are you used to it?"

Although he had known Yang Rui's age for a long time, Du Yaquan still sighed about his youth. Perhaps, this is the so-called birth-knowing person. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, although the northern country is not Jiangnan, it has a different scenery. Besides, it's just that Double Ninth Festival has just passed, and the weather is not too cold, so it's not much different from Jiangnan."

During the frost time, the autumn in the northeast was already a little cold, but it was not too cold. The troops' daily morning exercise time had not been adjusted, but by the end of November, the day it was cold after the snow. In this era where there were only fire pits and no heating, the days were really hard to bear. When the beginning of the year first came, although the temperature had warmed up at that time, Yang Rui was still frozen to death.

Thinking of the snow in the northeast, Yang Rui said: "Hey, it's still quite difficult here, especially in winter, which is difficult for southerners to get used to. Especially when you have a bow in winter, you have to bring a stick." Seeing that Du Yaquan was a little puzzled, he explained: "The weather is too cold, and it is frozen halfway through it. You don't need a stick to break, and the one behind it can't be pulled out."

After staying in the army for a long time, his speech naturally became a little vulgar. Yang Rui's joke made Du Yaquan unable to hold back his laughter, and he burst out with a "scream". Yang Rui also laughed. After laughing, Du Yaquan said: "I will prepare a stick when I go out in winter, 'If you come, you will be at ease'. Since you are here, there is no need to pay so much attention. It's done, just say, what I want to do and what I need to do, I have a solid foundation."

Perhaps it was because of the joke just now that Du Yaquan was not polite and got to the point.

Yang Rui said: "Although this northeast is outside the pass, it is the foundation of my association and the wing of my China. If the northeast moves, the Great Wall will be unstable, and if the Great Wall is unstable, the inner gate will be panic. What we need to do is to gain a foothold here, not to compete with the Qing Dynasty, but to protect my China. This is our ultimate goal here, and to achieve this goal, there are four things to do."

Before coming, Du Yaquan had already learned a lot of the high secrets of the Revival Society. He had some understanding of the opportunities of the Revival Society in the Northeast, but he only understood the meaning of the real plan. At first, he thought that Yang Rui was going to follow the old path of people and rushed directly to Beijing from outside the pass, but now it seems that this is not the case. Although he was confused, he was conservative by nature and did not ask questions, only saying: "Where are four things, please tell me one by one."

The previous plan never summarized many things, but as he understood Northeast China, the more Yang Rui knew what he wanted to do. After constantly thinking about it, he found that there were only four things that Northeast China had to do.

"Four things are about agriculture, two are about engineering, three are about business, and four are about education." There are no matter how things change. The only thing that comes down to these things is about these things. Yang Rui explained: "There are two things in the Northeast. Now Xiao Xu has built a new agricultural reclamation company in Shanghai. This company mainly breeds and selects seeds and improves agricultural technology, but the main task is to organize and arrange immigrants. These immigrants will be recruited in a cooperative manner. How to manage these farmers well and make them our people the same; in addition to the agricultural reclamation company, there are also agricultural trade companies, which mainly deals in agricultural supplies and agricultural products. According to the plan, it will open all three eastern provinces, and the ultimate goal is to control the grain market in the entire northeast."

The plan is grand. But reality is cruel. Yang Rui also thought of this. He said again: "Of course, this is just a long-term plan, but at least we must ensure that we control the grain market in the area. Only by closely combining economically can the countryside be controlled well."

After talking about agriculture, it is the work. Yang Rui said: "Work is industry. In Tonghua, light industry has oil pressing plants, wire reeling plants, and grinding plants, but these are basically operated in partnership with local gentry. The main reason is that they are in charge, and we are only responsible for model factories." It is iron rule for everyone to make money without eating alone in a new place. These factories are all to win over local gentry. In order to give local gentry a learning target, Zhong Guanguang has established some model factories to provide management and operation training to these partners. "No matter how light industry or heavy industry, there are coal mines, iron ore, copper mines, as well as steel plants, copper smelting plants, machinery factories, and military factories. But the mines are already open, but the factory equipment will not arrive next year, and this year it is mainly responsible for infrastructure. As for military factories, it will not be in place until the next year."

Yang Rui said a lot, and Du Yaquan remembered it quickly. He heard Zhong Guansui talk about the military factory in Tonghua. He was shocked at that time. In ancient times, it would be fine to build weapons privately, but now the army uses guns and cannons. When the Qing court runs a military factory, they have to ask foreigners for help. Will there be foreigners for help when Fuxing will do it yourself?

Without stopping, Yang Rui began to talk about business again, "The center of business is in Shanghai. For Tonghua, the focus of business is on business roads, that is, the Antongfeng Railway and Andong Hai Port that will be built next year. This is our major artery in the Northeast. As long as this artery is cut off, we will bleed continuously. Over time, we will be severely damaged."

Du Yaquan knew the importance of railways and ports, but he also knew the situation in the Northeast today, asking: "What if the railway is defeated by Japan, what should we prevent us from building railways?"

"Apart from our own success, we can only rely on America." Yang Rui said, "It was because of the support of the United States that the Qing court finally allowed it. Half of the American business in our Qing Dynasty was in the Northeast, and after the full reclaim, the number of immigration increased, and the US cotton and kerosene markets will be larger, and Americans will not give up here."

Yang Rui has always taken care of his relationship with the United States as the most important task. During the World Expo a few months ago, Yu Huizu and Yu Zixun visited the National Cotton Spinning Association and Mobil Oil Company with gifts and market analysis reports in the name of Tonghua Railway Company, and talked about their views on the Far East and the future Manchurian market in a friendly and pleasant conversation. These two organizations have a large network of relationships in the United States, and constantly reminding them of the importance of the Manchurian market will make them more frequently promote the US government to support the construction of the Antong-Bong Railway.

Yang Rui did not tell how the United States supports the Antongfeng Railway, not for confidentiality, but in his opinion, this is a common sense issue. In so-called democratic countries, commercial interests are the focus of everything. Although Du Yaquan has been in a diplomatic newspaper, he does not understand how the American business community and the government interact. After all, in China, the empress dowager is in power. Ordinary businessmen can not say that they can connect the relationship to Cixi, even if they know the eunuch Li Lianying, the eunuch who is in charge, it is also a ancestral tomb.

However, when he heard that there were foreigners supporting him, he wanted to speak but stopped, and finally asked: "It's true, this right to go..."

Seeing that he could fully understand what he was thinking, Yang Rui said, "Don't worry, Lu Quan, it won't be given to foreigners. At most, we will ask foreigners to contract for a few years. If he wants to make a purchase, then we will say that tradition will not be allowed. If the court finally agrees, we will start a gathering and march, and we can say that the people will not be allowed."

Du Yaquan understood the rally and parade that Yang Rui said later, but he didn't understand the specific meaning of this "contracting", and asked again: "It turns out, does this contract mean that it is completely handed over to foreigners, right?"

Yang Rui explained: "It's like recruiting tenants, and giving the land to others to plant. As for how long it takes to plant and how much rent it pays each year, it's up to ten years to rent the railway. We will take it back after ten years." Contracting is well-known in later generations, but now if Du Yaquan wants to understand, he has to give examples of tenants renting.

When it comes to railways and mines, the Qing Dynasty has always lost more than wins. At present, Yuan Shikai, the Railway Cup inside and outside the Guanzhong, has been reclaimed. As for the rights of important trunk lines such as Lu Han, Jinpu and Shanghai and Hangzhou, they have been taken away by foreigners. Du Yaquan was very happy to hear that he could not only build a railway, but also have the right to road. After all, as a member of the Revival Society, he did not want to become a traitor - even if this kind of traitor is just forced by the situation.
