It is no different to making sense with women. They often want to be cared for and valued by others rather than explaining the truth. Even a very reasonable truth is not important when it comes to them, because it is not important to be unreasonable. Whether they treat them as a matter for a while is the most important thing. Obviously, because Yang Rui refused to support the Tongmenghui, Cheng Xu felt that she was ignored because her proposal was not valued by Yang Rui. However, on the other hand, she felt that Yang Rui did not have the right to decide to support the Tongmenghui because of her request. Although he is the president of the Fuxing Society, the Fuxing Society is not his own, but everyone's.

With such a contradiction, she arrived in Anton all the way. Yang Rui also knew that she was angry, but she just didn't persuade her. He actually had a problem that made all women in later generations hate the pain, that is, if a woman cried because she was angry, he would not only not persuade her, but would laugh. According to his logic, whether a woman was angry, crying, or hanging herself, it was a weapon to make men compromise. At this time, what to do is not to coax. If she is in a good mood, then she should do whatever she should do. If she is in a bad mood, then she will laugh and make fun of her. When she makes enough trouble and cry, things will naturally pass.

The cruise ship did not pass through Xindao and parked at Langtou Port near Andong County as usual, but stopped at Zhaoshigou Port at the mouth of the Yalu River. This is an harbor planned by Andong. The port is well built. The water depth is no less than seven meters at low tide and twelve or three meters at high tide. A 10,000-ton ship can be docked with a little cleaning. For this reason, the starting point of the Antongmei Railway is here. Although it has been nearly three years, the construction of the port has not stopped. The area on the south side of the dock is still under renovation, the yard on the west side seems to have not been completed, and the industrial area supporting the port is located on the north side. Similar to the industrial park in later generations, there are construction sites everywhere, and the houses are densely built. You can see the half-mounted walls of the house and the scaffolding surrounding the walls from afar, which has a smell of a large construction site in later generations.

Xu Yining, the head of the Andong Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau who came to greet him, saw Yang Rui looking at the construction site there and explained: "There is Andong Industrial Park there. After the first phase of the park was opened, the land was bought. One-third were bought by Americans and people from other countries, and one-third were bought by Japanese."

"Oh. What did they buy them for?" He was not surprised by the foreigners buying land. He was curious about what they used for.

"Many Japanese buy textile mills, and also oil presses, flour mills, silk reel mills, and Americans mainly serve as warehouses, stocking cotton and cotton cloth, as well as kerosene and flour." When Yang Rui left the Northeast the year before yesterday, Xu Yining met Yang Rui. However, he could not imagine why the president was so young, even if he met him for the second time.

"Oh, then Americans will definitely not be able to beat the Japanese," Yang Rui heard the purpose of buying land by merchants from both countries and felt that Americans would definitely be killed by the Japanese. This is also good. Only in this way can our own importance be reflected. "Do we don't have a silk reeling factory?"

"We don't, but the other merchants did it the previous year." Xu Yining did not know much about economic matters, but just said a rough idea. However, Yang Rui didn't ask anything else. He just followed him to the train station at the port.

The port railway station is extremely large, with eight rails. These rails just bypass the simple wooden platform and then turn westward. There are large warehouses built there, and dozens of large yards of football fields, piles of wood piled up there, but only occupy a very small position. On the wooden platform No. 1, a long train with a long distance had been waiting there, and the boiler seemed to have been lit, whirring white air. The train should be imported from the United States, and the European-style windows and the English outside the carriage were very conspicuous. Only the four big Chinese characters "Tonghua Railway" can make people feel that this is a Chinese train.

Zhaoshigou is a long time away from Andongcheng. After half a minute, the train arrived at Andong Station. Although the station was newly opened, the whole road was only connected to Kuandian and not in. However, there were still many people taking the bus. Before the train arrived at the station, Yang Rui saw a large number of people waiting on the platform. There were many foreigners, more of them, vendors and travelers with large bags. However, they were all in the second-class car behind. Only those foreigners and a few gentry dressed in the first-class car behind Yang Rui. Seeing this, Yang Rui asked, "How much does the ticket cost to Kuandian?"

"A regular eight cents, the first one is 2 taels." Xu Yining just reported on various situations in Anton, but it seemed that Yang Rui was more interested in some small details. In fact, Yang Rui was not worried about the various actions of the Japanese on the Tonghua Railway, but wanted to know the survival of the railway itself.

The train departed from Andong in the afternoon and arrived at Kuandian in the evening. After removing the carriages at the back, the train continued to walk north. It was only after 8 o'clock in the evening that it arrived at the Dalinggou Tunnel. After passing through this tunnel, it was Huairen. Now the entire road is not completed here, and other places have been well.

We are waiting for Yang Rui, Du Yaquan, Chen Dafa and others here. Chen Yixi, who had just come from the United States some time ago, is also here. This is his second time to come to the Northeast. The last time we came was in 2004. Yang Rui was busy with military affairs, so he did not see it. This time the railway was about to be completed, so he came to attend the completion ceremony.

When Yang Rui got off the train, he saw them standing on the temporary platform. After meeting everyone enthusiastically, Cheng Xu, beside Yang Rui, was also introduced to everyone. Du Yaquan just greeted her quietly. Chen Yixi, who was prepared, gave her something. Now Chen Yixi is not just thinking that Yang Rui was a person who enthusiastically helped his friends find a railway construction company like he did four years ago, but was determined that Yang Rui was behind the scenes of the Tianzi, and even from the Revival Society.

None of them changed much, except Chen Dafa was extremely thin and looked even more haggard, no longer the handsome and confident appearance of the past. He was under great pressure from the tunnel to block. When he first chose the line, there were two plans, one was to walk directly to the northeast along the way, cross the Qingshan Valley, pass back to Longshan, follow the Wangtian Cave, and finally to Huairen County; the other was to follow the ancient official road, turn north in Qingshan Valley, and after going up the mountain, dig a tunnel in Dalinggou to lead to the other side of the mountain. At that time, Chen Dafa chose the latter because the previous plan did not dig a large tunnel, but there were still many small tunnels.

The construction volume is not less than that of the Dalinggou Tunnel, and the railway is around the foot of Wangtiandong Mountain. Once the landslides, the entire line will be interrupted. So, regardless of cost or safety considerations, Dalinggou is the best choice. However, the tunnel that should have been opened was not opened on time, which caused some local shareholders to complain. Some people also said that Dalinggou had a mountain god. Digging a tunnel from here was disrespectful to the mountain god. In the year of Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese who drove here got lost in the mountains. In the end, they were beaten to death by Zhuang Yong from the village. Anyway, the project was dragged down and everything was said.

Yang Rui did not blame Chen Dafa when he saw him. Who can know what was going on inside the mountain cover? Choosing a route is often like gambling. Many times it is a matter of luck, not a technical problem.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Rui did not bow his hand, but held Chen Dafa's hand and shook it hard, "Take it slow, don't worry." He said with a smile.

Yang Rui's whistle was stunned by the expression of Chen Dafa. Now there seems to be no one in the Northeast. The local shareholders of the railway company did not mention it, and Du Yaquan urged him a lot. His father also scolded him as soon as he came. The old man didn't care whether the tunnel was difficult or not, but believed that as a chief engineer, any difficulties must be considered in advance. If he didn't consider it, it was his dereliction of duty. He listened to Yang Rui's urgency at this time, Chen Dafa wanted to say nothing, but just smiled forcibly, and then let go of Yang Rui's hand.

The Northeast is the old nest of the Fuxing Society, Cheng Xu knew it, but she thought it was in the western part of Liaoning, not Liaodong. Moreover, although she was responsible for arranging some of Yang Rui's schedules, she could not touch some important things. As for the situation in Tonghua, she had heard of it, but she did not understand the actual situation, including the relationship between the Tianzi and the Fuxing Society. Under the intentional operation of the Fuxing Society, only a few people thought that the Tianzi was held by the Fuxing Society, and most people just thought that the Tianzi

There will be funding for Fuxing. She originally thought so, but today, looking at the attitude of the railway company to welcome him, it was like the railway company was opened by Fuxing. There was also the thing Chen Yixi gave her, a European-style jewelry necklace. When she saw the diamonds on it, she was shocked. This was actually a gift Chen Yixi brought from the United States to prepare to go to the capital to engage in activities. China is now building railways everywhere. He wanted to take more projects, so he brought a lot of high-end gifts.

While Cheng Wu was amazed in the room, Yang Rui was discussing some railway affairs with Du Yaquan.

"The Japanese have looked for me several times, and they wanted to invest in the company. I didn't agree to sell other people's stocks at a high price..." In the office of the Tunnel Construction Office, Du Yaquan was mainly talking about the Japanese's actions.

"Is anyone selling it?" In order to win over the local people, the damn stocks of Tonghua Railway were sold to the people along the route.

"There are some, but not many, and they will not work." Du Yaquan said, "At that time, in order to get the people to buy, our people promoted the 'a train rang, ten thousand taels of silver'. But until now, the tunnel has not been opened, and some people began to spread rumors that the mountain could never be dug, and some people who believed in God sold their stocks."

When Yang Rui heard Du Yaquan say, 'After the train rings, silver will be ten thousand taels', Yang Rui couldn't help but think that there seemed to be this slogan in later generations, but the difference is that silver was replaced by gold. "There are not many stocks on the people, but have local shareholders sold their shares privately? Although they cannot do this according to the articles of association, if they do it, the Japanese Lion asks us to redeem the shares, which is also a headache."

"The shareholders did not sell it, and there seemed to be no in Shanghai. Now I am worried that the Japanese will replace the narrow rails of the Antong Railway with wide rails. Once the Qing Dynasty agrees, even if we buy some land, they will change the lines, or change them on the original lines, so we can't stop them." Du Yaquan said.

"What is the attitude of the Americans? What does their consul say?" Yang Rui also had a headache about the Antong Railway. According to history, the entire railway exists, so how can it be stopped?

"Americans complain about the Japanese, especially since the end of the previous year, the import of American goods has dropped drastically. Now many American merchants have come to Liaodong, waiting for the tunnel to open to the mouth of Meihekou. The roads there are directly to Jilin and Changchun, which is not much slower than taking the South Manchuria Railway. Last year, Americans came to talk to me about the construction of the railway to Changchun or Jilin, but I did not respond." Du Yaquan said that after the Americans, he still shifted the topic to the most important thing, "What should be done in the last section of the railway? When will it start construction? Now the materials are all ready. Just wait..."

"This matter is the most difficult thing. Russia has no problem, so the United States will not say it. Now Guangxu has come out. There are many ministers pro-Japanese in the court, especially Prince Su and Japan, and he is very famous now. If he opposes Guangxu's approval of the entire railway, or postpone the approval to next year and the next year, the situation will be different. Now we can only rely on Zaize to make efforts, Liang Qichao and Zhirui are also sending people to handle the matters of the Qing Dynasty. If it is not involved in offending foreigners, it is easy to deal with foreigners. If it is involved in offending foreigners, it is even impossible to do it if it is spent money." Yang Rui said. Now the ** of the Qing Dynasty is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Even if Guangxu advocates integrity and dedication, the situation will not be better.

"What should we do?" Du Yaquan felt nervous when he saw Yang Rui making things difficult, and he was very disappointed. Now that this 150 kilometers cannot connect to the Dongqing Railway, the value and benefits of the entire road will be greatly affected. "Don't they know that this is the Chinese's own railway? Once it is repaired, the Liaodong area will be stable. Now the Japanese are constantly rushing the Koreans to come to cultivate, afraid that they will have some thoughts about Liaodong."

After hearing the Koreans crossed the border and reclaimed, Yang Rui said: "Hasn't it been arranged before? The borders and the Yalu River Island must be arranged in advance. Didn't this be done?"

"There are so many, but like Antu, the place is huge, and the distance in Anton is far away. It is difficult for us to transport people. Koreans from North Korea are simple. There are also officials from the reclamation bureau who sell land when they see money. There is no railway and the transportation is inconvenient. Many immigrants are unhappy to go." Du Yaquan can give his own scores for many things in Liaodong, but the immigration is considered to be qualified at most. Even if the agricultural reclamation company is well prepared, there will always be a problem. After all, he is just a businessman, not a Qing official. Even if he is a Qing official, there are still governors and the like, so the immigration is stumbling, which makes him dissatisfied with himself.

"If you have difficulty in transportation, build a railway. To the outside world, it is a small forest railway that cuts wood, not a commercial railway. This excuse is enough for Beijing to send the Japanese people away." Yang Rui said anxiously.

"Is this okay?" Du Yaquan asked.

"This is not possible. I'm anxious." Yang Rui shook his head and said. Although the forest railway can be built, it has no commercial value. Revival will require too many things. In addition to commercial operations, it is not advisable to invest in a railway specifically. "It's better to deal with it by chance. Take the railway to Changchun first. This should be the case in the past few months."

"Then what preparations should I make?" Yang Rui said so close that Du Yaquan was afraid that he had to prepare for many things.

"Don't make any preparations. During this period, the railway company staff should pay attention to personal safety. The patrol team should also be careful. The Japanese will not come forward to do things themselves, they will only find others to do it. The Liaodong side has been almost cleared by us. The only thing we are worried about is that some North Korean bandits will come to intercept our car. Anyway, for the Japanese, everything should be at the worst." Yang Rui reminded.

The two were talking when suddenly a burst of urgent noise came from outside. The two men were arguing in vernacular language. Yang Rui couldn't understand what they were talking about. He asked, "Who is arguing?"

"Who else, Yaozhai's side. Now everyone is waiting for the tunnel to be completed, but the tunnel is just blocked. The 465-meter tunnel has been dug for 466 meters, exceeding one meter, but it just blocked. It's really a ghost." Du Yaquan said that this matter was helpless. He just dared to tell the truth in front of Yang Rui and didn't dare to say anything outside.

Hearing that the tunnel had been dug 466 meters, Yang Ruiqi said: "Why does it seem that the length has been dug?"

"Yes, it's here. According to the truth, it's dug through, but it's still digging. We don't dare to tell the workers that they have dug 466 meters, otherwise they will say that ghosts have hit the wall when they hear it." Du Yaquan shook his head. He has never believed in ghosts and gods, but this time it seems that he believed it.

"Is it possible that it was a misjudged?" The matter was really strange, and Yang Rui was also surprised.

"Well, there is a possibility. Now the Guangdong people are also arguing about this. But we were afraid of making mistakes at that time, so we had already dug two vertical shafts on the top of the mountain and excavated from the vertical shaft to both sides. Now the only thing that is not open is the section between the vertical shaft and the vertical shaft. According to common sense, it is impossible to deviate." Everything on the railway is fine, and the crux of the current is this tunnel, and Du Yaquan is now devoted to this.

"It would be fine if you can pass this month." Yang Rui comforted. However, he knew in his heart that if he was wrong, it would not be a good thing in the past half month. Maybe it would not be delayed until next year to open the train.

The simple conversation with Du Yaquan was soon over. After Yang Rui returned, Cheng Xu had not yet slept. When she saw Yang Rui, she asked: "Is the railway company from the Revival Society?"

Yang Rui said strangely, "Where did you hear it?"

"The two people quarreled just now, one of them said. They said that if the tunnel was dug, they would be sorry to the revolutionary party. They also said that the railway was for the Japanese, and if it was delayed, it would be..." Cheng Wu was originally from Guangdong and could hear it very clearly in plain language.

Seeing her asking, Yang Rui didn't know how to answer. Based on her performance on the ship to the Tongmenghui, Yang Rui now regrets bringing her to the Northeast. Because there are too many secrets here, once she knows it, it is not a good thing, but a bad thing. If the secret is really leaked from her side. Then according to the regulations, it is necessary... Thinking of this, Yang Rui asked: "There are many secrets in the Northeast. Do you think you can keep these secrets?"

Yang Rui's question surprised Cheng Xu. She suddenly felt distrustful and said angrily: "Then I'll go back tomorrow."

"Okay. I've thought about it for a long time. I'll send you back tomorrow morning." Yang Rui sneered after saying that, and then went back to his tent to sleep. He brought too many people and there was not enough room. He had to sleep in the tent set up outside.

Yang Rui slept soundly this night, and seemed not to be worried about Cheng Lu's return. He is becoming more and more impatient with this woman. This impatientness lies in her needing constant attention and recognition. It seems that if she doesn't say she loves her for a day, she will be worried all day long. He is busy now, so how can she have time to say these love words? He doesn't understand, what is she worried about? In fact, any person like Yang Rui is difficult to make a normal woman feel at ease. The greater the strength of the Revival Club, the heavier this kind of uneasiness. For an ordinary but self-knowing woman, the more ordinary the man is, the more she feels at ease. But the current situation is that the man she likes is too excellent, even better than Mr. Zhongshan, whom she respects in her heart, so she begins to be at a loss. What does such a man like her like?

Yang Rui woke up in a noisy noise the next day, and there were shouting everywhere. When he held the gun tightly, he heard someone outside shouting, "It's connected! It's connected!"

Hearing this, he suddenly realized that the tunnel was probably open. As soon as he got together, Chen Guangshou came in with a smile. He said, "Sir, the tunnel has been dug, and the workers outside are very happy."

"Well! It's OK." Yang Rui said loudly. It was good news when he woke up, "Then let's wait for the last paragraph." He said to himself.

The happiness outside stopped shortly after. When Yang Rui got up, the people gathered near the construction office had dispersed. Yang Rui was about to ask, but Du Yaquan ran over in a panic: "Yaozhai is gone!"

"Why is he missing?" Yang Rui suddenly had an unknown premonition, afraid that Chen Da would do something.

"This... I was fine before going to bed last night, but when I woke up, I disappeared. When the tunnel was opened, everyone went to find him, but he disappeared." Du Yaquan also felt that it was not good, but it was difficult to guess anything.

"Everyone find someone first." Yang Rui didn't know what to say, so he just wanted to find someone first. All the people from the construction department were sent out, and many guards from Yang Rui were also sent out. However, before the people here had gone far, they saw a group of workers carrying something. Chen Guangshou looked at it with a telescope and said, "Sir, they were carrying someone."

"Yeah." Yang Rui's heart began to sink, and the thing he was most worried about seemed to have happened.

Chen Dafa, the chief engineer of Antongmei Railway, died on the eve of the entire railway line. Because of the doubts and anxiety of everyone, he ran to the cliff of Dalinggou in the middle of the night and jumped down. Looking at Chen Yixi who was crying but kept saying "It's right!", Yang Rui didn't know how to comfort him. He ignored the obstruction and insisted on walking through the tunnel. The tunnel was filled with water, covered with wooden stakes, and knives were carved on the walls, and they were tangled, like strange human faces.
Chapter completed!
