Volume D, Chapter 30, Transfer

Yang Rui was sitting in the office of Hongtu Cliff, and Chen Guangshou in front of him was talking. It was several days later, and the school account was basically checked. Chen Guangshou was reporting this to him, but he had no intention of hearing it at all. Even though Chen Guangshou finally found that his husband was distracted again, he had to stand aside. After a while, Yang Rui said blankly: "You continue talking."

"There is no problem with Mr. Du, and this matter has been reported to Mr. Xiao Xu..." Before Chen Guangshou finished speaking, he was stopped by Yang Rui, "Why didn't they report to me?"

"Because..." Chen Guangshou was shocked by Yang Rui's shouting and said, "Mr. At that time, the teacher happened to be not in Shanghai. Moreover, Mr. Xiao Xu saw that the education expenditure was huge. Since the ship company could make money overload, as long as the accounts of the money were clear and used in the association, he agreed."

No wonder Du Yaquan did not hide this. It turned out that he had reported it a long time ago. After Yang Rui heard Du Yaquan say that a few days ago, he was very strange. If it was corrupt, he would definitely try his best to cover it up. How could he explain it so bluntly? Moreover, Du Yaquan is not like a greedy person... But why didn't he report this? Did he guess what I was going to do? In fact, this is not difficult. Everyone is smart. Yang Rui thought about this and asked again: "Are those private accounts clear?"

"Everything is clear, every transaction is in the book. Mr. Xiao Xu also sent a telegram from Shanghai to explain the matter." Chen Guangshou replied, feeling that Yang Rui seemed to be too cautious.

"Does other companies have such things?" Yang Rui asked again.

"Other companies are still investigating, so there should be very few such situations." Chen Guangshou took the report given by the Financial Supervision Department and did not see any similar incidents in other departments.

"Then let Qiufan go to work. Also, Mu Ouchu from the United States asked him to hand over what he had done within two months," Yang Rui looked at the current date. On April 22, "I came to the Northeast to report in late June."

Mu Xiangyue and Chen Wanyun are capable backbones in the United States. Yang Rui transferred him back and probably changed the personnel in the Northeast. Chen Guangshou was a little stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Yes, sir." After that, he went out.

Du Yaquan has not been on duty these days. However, Yang Rui can still easily understand the situation in Liaodong. As for industry, the most difficult thing in Northeast China is now railways. The most important thing is not steel, but soybeans. Although the soybean production in 2006 was only 650,000 tons, it was mainly because the crop rotation was just right. Farmers were planting other crops. The normal output should be close to one million tons. And with the increase in immigration within the pass, it is normal for Northeast soybean production to reach 1.5 million tons within three years. During the conservative period, it is estimated that 35 taels per ton, so the output value of the entire industry will be 52 million taels.

If all the millions and million tons of soybeans are exported, according to the previous calculations of the agricultural trade company, farmers will earn 60% of them, big cart shops, grain shops, and agricultural trade companies will earn 20% of them. That is 10 million taels. minus the cost, there is still a profit of four million taels. However, the volume of foreign trade is less than 50,000 tons. Although the domestic trade volume is large, it is completely used to increase the volume. At the same time, the large cart shops and grain stations in various places are being incorporated, so the soybean business of the agricultural trade company was in a slight loss last year.

After reading the report, Yang Rui suddenly apologized to Du Yaquan again. At least in the past four years, he has done a lot of practical things. His ability is better than Zhong Guanguang, but... but he is not his own. Yang Rui recalled Du Yaquan's various actions and felt that he was just a simple business talent. He did not deliberately make friends with anyone, but could he trust him? Thinking of him teaching and running newspapers with Cai Yuanpei before, Yang Rui felt that he could not do so, so he should arrange a higher position in Shanghai.

"I'll inform Tonghua that I'll have dinner with Brother Qiufan tonight." Yang Rui thought it through in the room, and said to Chen Guangshou. Chen Guangshou responded and drove away. Du Yaquan was at home in Tonghua New City at this time, and he had to take a small train to go there.

In a spacious apartment in Tonghua New City, Du Yaquan was wearing a blue shirt and was bored watching his wife taking off her sheepskin coat on her younger son. The child was naughty and the coat was covered with dust from nowhere.

While shaking his jacket, his wife cursed: "I told you not to go to the ironworks, but I insisted on going there! Look, the jacket is so dirty, see how to wear it next year. I think you are just itchy..." After saying that, she tried to beat her.

The child was smart and turned around and took off his jacket. Then he ran to Du Yaquan's feet with a smile, then turned around and slipped out again. His wife was helpless when she saw this and just patted her jacket. The northeast is different from the inner city. The temperature is extremely cold. At the coldest period, not only did she have to burn the kang, but also wore sheepskin jackets. Although Du Yaquan's position is high, his salary is not high, and there is no spare money besides supporting the family, so his wife is still extremely saver.

Looking at his wife's caress, Du Yaquan said: "It's okay. Next year it should be the New Year in the pass."

"Really?" The woman in Jiangnan was still not used to the coldness here even after being here for a few years. He said happily: "Can you really go home for the New Year? This is great!"

"Well. It shouldn't be wrong." As soon as Du Yaquan finished speaking, his assistant came over outside, "Prime Minister, I just called and said that a Master Yang wanted to have dinner with you."

Mr. Yang is the synonym for Yang Rui. When he heard Yang Rui having dinner with him, Du Yaquan shook his head and laughed. After a while, he said, "Did he tell me where to eat?"

"It's all that is said, Prime Minister, are you going to push me?" The assistant had never heard of Mr. Yang before, and Du Yaquan did not have the habit of bringing guests home for dinner, but Mr. Yang seemed to be an old acquaintance and came here to visit him directly, which surprised him.

Seeing that the assistant was about to push Yang Rui away, Du Yaquan still laughed, "You can't push, you have to go buy vegetables," he touched the money and said, "Well... just buy a pheasant and mushroom, and you won't want anything else." As he said that, he took out a one-dollar bill and hurriedly sent the assistant.

After a simple handover of work on that day, Du Yaquan stayed with the people from the Financial Supervision Department for a whole morning, specifically explaining the ship company's work, and then he kept drinking tea and reading books at home. The wind of purging was so smart that he could still see some things inside. The people responsible for the purging inside and outside the purging were all Yang Rui's confidants, and those who were purged were indeed problems. Many senior cadres who were transferred were from Zhejiang. In his understanding, this was a purging, and it was even more a peaceful power purge. But even so, he didn't have much thought. It was reasonable for him to take the power to Yang Rui to take over the power in Hangzhou, and these people were all transferred or high-profile to the purview. There were no complaints. He looked at the situation and wanted to apply to go to the purview, but in Tonghua for nearly four years, he watched factories from scratch. The sound of books in schools was loud and he couldn't bear to leave.

The coldness and hostility of Yang Rui a few days ago shocked him, which made him not defend the matter, but handed over the work according to the regulations and waited for the results of the review. In fact, he was not worried about the result. He knew that this was just a reason to transfer him away, and eventually he wanted to drop himself into the pass. However, what he didn't expect was that Yang Rui did not kick him back to the pass, but came to his house for dinner, which was a chance to communicate in private.

Yang Rui came to Du Yaquan's apartment when it was almost dark. Chen Guangshou, who was beside him, was carrying pheasants and mushrooms. However, as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the scent of pheasants stewed with mushrooms in the room. He immediately smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Qiufan is ready for everything."

When Du Yaquan heard him say everything was ready, he smiled slightly and said, "I bought it outside. It would be better to cook it outside, different." After that, he greeted his family, "Come on, let's stew this too."

Yang Rui didn't say anything when he heard what he said, but gave the kids the little things he had taken with him, and then sat on the table. After the dishes were served, he held the banquet and said with a drink, "Brother Qiufan has been wronged these days, so I'll also apologize."

Seeing this, Du Yaquan refused to drink, but said, "The company's rules are there, so how can you feel wronged or not? It's just wrong, so you should be fined a glass."

Seeing that he seemed to have no knot in his heart, Yang Rui smiled and drank the glass, and then poured wine and said, "Brother Qiufan has worked hard all these years. Without you, Tonghua would not be on this scale."

Finally, Du Yaquan said that he was a little excited and said with a drink, "For the sake of the revolution and the national plan, I have no regrets in dying, so I don't care about the hard work. I've said it wrong again, but I will accompany you this time."

Erguotou is extremely high. Du Yaquan usually drinks yellow wine. Now he has half a bowl of white wine, and his face turns red. Yang Rui hurriedly asked him to eat food, but he seemed to be addicted to alcohol today. He drank it twice in a row and then became a little dizzy later. Perhaps he was dizzy. When his head swayed, Du Yaquan asked half-difficult, half-drunk, "It turns out, what do you think will the revolution be successful? Compare..." He competed for a long time but didn't find anyone, and finally said, "How about Russia?"

Yang Rui thought he was going to go to Japan, but who knew he was talking about Russia, so he said, "Then you have to give time. The revolution has just succeeded, and it is not comparable to the great powers, but it must be better than Mexico." Seeing that he actually talked about Mexico, Yang Rui himself burst into laughter.

Yang Rui did make sense, and Du Yaquan corrected: "Can you compare to Russia in those twenty years?"

"If it is a life that compares the people, it must be better than them. But if it compares with their respective families, we still cannot compare with them. Now their steel output is more than 2 million tons, even if..." Thinking of the October Revolution, Yang Rui had to skip: "Twenty years are too short for China. If everyone can be a rope, thirty years, no, it should be forty years. We will probably only be worse than the United States, and other countries are no problem. However, if we want to compare with the people's lives, we are afraid that this will not be comparable. Twenty years, twenty years, we can only make everyone have clothes, food, houses, and children can study. Then this country is not bullied by outsiders, but it is still difficult to bully outsiders."

Du Yaquan was disappointed when he heard Yang Rui's words at first, but he was happy after hearing it. However, when he saw Yang Rui going to bully outsiders, he smiled and said, "Does this country have to fight between countries? We don't bully others, and others don't bully us, this..." Du Yaquan was fainted and knew that this was stupid after a while. He changed his words: "It's better for us to bully others. At least we were bullied by others before. The strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive. Oh, this is how the world looks like."

Hearing Du Yaquan sighing, Yang Rui said, "Brother Qiufan will be wronged for several years. Next year, I want Brother Qiufan to return to the pass to take charge of the overall situation. Let's put it aside in the northeast."

When Yang Ruiyi talked about returning to the pass, Du Yaquan's eyes became wider and he said reluctantly: "Who will this pass be given to?"

Seeing his reluctant appearance, Yang Rui had to say, "He was going to transfer Mu Ouchu, who was in the United States. He had assisted in the shortening project there, and was in charge of the silk chain store in the United States. Now the silk chain store has been opened, so he can put what he has to do." After Yang Rui said that, he looked at Du Yaquan and still looked at him. He knew that he was not at ease. He added: "He was an apprentice in the cotton industry in his early years and then studied new school. He then joined the customs office as a clerk. He was considered a person who had suffered. His grades in the Shanghai management training class were among the best. His brother Zhuzhai was an old member, and he was also extremely enthusiastic about revolution. Of course, the Northeast was not handed over to him immediately. After he came back in two months, he would be with you for half a year. If he couldn't do it in half a year, then let him go back to the United States."

Yang Rui said it very simply, everything was Du Yaquan's decision, but Du Yaquan knew that this was another job transfer, so he felt reluctant to leave and said, "I believe that he has been promoted. I have half a year with him, and it is still no problem to take over the Northeast. Don't worry." After he said that, he asked again, "Then where am I going? What should I do when I go back to the city?"

Yang Rui was actually worried that he would not agree. Now he agreed. He asked about his new position again. At first he saw that he was happy, but he was reluctant to leave. Then he said, "There is a lack of people in Ma'anshan. Brother Qiufan is just in charge. He also has a call to start building a steel factory. At that time, he will still have to join the coal, iron and iron factory mine company. At that time, he will fight with Sheng Xuanhuai. It depends on Brother Qiufan. This matter is not done by Brother Hanzhang. He doesn't understand the business of the iron factory. Now he is the best at giving gifts. At that time, you are the main person, he is the auxiliary, and cooperate with each other, and you can still do a lot of things."

The steel factory is something Du Yaquan likes. He heard that it was such a position, and immediately asked: "Why do you want to merge with the Hanyang of the Qing Dynasty? The location of its factory is too poor, the internal management is not smooth, and there are many frauds. Once merged, if it is swallowed by Sheng Xuanhuai, it would be..."

"Don't be afraid, it's just a matter of being swallowed up in the past three or four years. As long as you look at the money bag and don't spend money indiscriminately, it's no big deal. As for the merger of the three factories, it is inevitable. A steel mill on the foreigners is equivalent to several of our steel mills. One blast furnace produces 500 tons of pig iron per day. As for us, two factories are the best for the other. Only when the merger of the three factories can we have resistance to foreigners. To be honest, I don't care about who the company is and who the money is earned. What I care most about is after the merger of these factories is the merger. To be honest, I don't care about who the company is and whose money is earned. What I care about the most is after these factories are merged. To be honest, I don't care about who the company is and whose money is earned. What I care about the most is that after the merger of these factories, I have the most resistance to the foreigners. To be honest, I don't care about who the company is and whose money is earned. What I care about the most is that after the merger of these factories, I have the most concern.

Have the cost decreased and the efficiency improved? Now, when you look at the report, you will know that the cost is extremely high, the internal management is messy, and the defective rate is extremely high. Only by combining can we take over the management rights of Hanyang and finally use our management system. Hanyang has invested 20 million taels of silver one after another. If you don’t make good rectifications, these 20 million taels will be really wasted.” Hanyang Iron Factory is really a headache, but even if it is a congenital deficit, Yang Rui still wants to make it up.

Before preparing to call the steel mill, Du Yaquan also had a systematic and comprehensive understanding of Hanyang. In his impression, Hanyang was just a political achievement project. At first, the investment of more than 5 million yuan was only two million yuan. Coupled with various internal intricate relationships, it is probably very difficult to rectify such a factory. However, he likes to do such a thing. He looked at Yang Rui and said, "Since I think I can rectify Hanyang well, I will try it. At that time, you and Brother Hanzhang will help me withstand the pressure from Sheng Xuanhuai. I am a merciless person."

"This is natural." Seeing Du Yaquan find the target and starting to be a little hot, Yang Rui said happily. "Now Brother Hanzhang is already talking to him, including the railway matters."

In the public concession in Shanghai, in the residence of Yu Huizu on Sima Road, Zhang Meiyi was talking to Yu Huizu. Although he is no longer Sheng Xuanhuai's aide, he still handed over the cooperation between Sheng Xuanhuai and Tianzi. This is probably because Zhang Meiyi is also from Ningbo.

"Hanzhang, what I mean is that it is better to apply for the section from Jilin to Kuanchengzi first. The pressure will not be great. Once this railway is allowed, then you will submit a letter and ask the court to connect the section from Meihekou to Kuanchengzi. This is lighter and then he will be heavy, which means throwing a stone to ask for directions. Otherwise, if you start to alert the enemy, the matter will not be beautiful." Zhang Meiyi took a sip of tea and said slowly. He and Yu Huizu are old acquaintances. He discussed the previous Hanyang loan and the merger of the iron plant. Now he has come to the Northeast Railway several times.

"It's not OK to let the three dukes go. Even if the section from Jilin to Kuanchengzi is not allowed, the section from Meihekou to Kuanchengzi is not allowed. If this section is completed, the railway is a living dragon. If this section is not built, it will be a dead snake. The adults have always been very familiar with industry, and they will not know that the key to this section is more than two hundred miles. Avoiding the important and neglecting is usually a good idea, but now the relationship between foreigners is subtle, and the Japanese will withdraw all the troops tomorrow. It is a good time to propose this railway." Sheng Xuanhuai's meaning was very clear. Yu Huizu knew very well. He also thought so at other times, but Yang Rui was strict in order to let Sheng Xuanhuai help the court to approve this section of the railway. He didn't believe it when he saw the order. After careful investigation, he found that it was indeed Yang Rui's handwriting, so he could only work hard in this regard.

"Hanzhang, this matter is really difficult. Not to mention that Japan will protest at that time, even if there is someone in the Postal and Communication Department, there will probably be gossip. Lord, I just took over the Postal and Communication Department, and there are many people in Yuan Shikai. Although Yuan Shikai went there, King Qing was still there. Although he was sick, his power still existed. If it was really..." Seeing that he was a fellow villager, Zhang Meiyi said something that shouldn't have said.

The Ministry of Posts and Communications was originally a new department that was established last year for reforming official positions. The railways, telegraphs, shipping, and postal services across the country were all managed by this department. The earliest Shangshu was Zhang Baixi, and then Lin Shaonian. At the end of last year, Sheng Xuanhuai took over Zaize's path with one million taels. After the Qingliu was suppressed, Sheng Xuanhuai took over the department. The Ministry of Posts and Communications was newly established, but the Shipping and Telegraph Bureau and the Railway Corporation were originally under Sheng Xuanhuai's jurisdiction, but it was taken away a few years ago because of Ding You. Now after it is taken back, it is considered that the property will be returned to the original owner. It is just that shipping and telegraph are easy to get through, and the railway was unrecognizable. Tang Shaoyi was the Minister of Posts and Communications Department and the person in charge of the Railway Corporation.

His fellow townsmen, Liang Shiyi, and there were Ye Gongchuo, Guan Genglin and others under Liang Shiyi. These people were actually the transportation department in the early years of the Republic of China in history. They were all fellow townsmen of Tang Shaoyi. Excluding these civil officials, the engineers such as Zhan Tianyou who presided over Jingzhang were also Yuan Shikai's people. The small railway where Cixi worshiped his ancestors was built by Zhan Tianyou, and Jingzhang was also strongly built by Yuan Shikai. With the relationship of the railway company, Sheng Xuanhuai, who was the Minister of Posts and Communications Department, was arrested by the two bureaus of Ship and Telegraph, who had been in charge of money. The railway company had no time to clean up one by one for a while. Besides, the influence of King Qing was still there, and Tang Shaoyi and others were capable officials, so it was not so easy to clean up.

Considering Sheng Xuanhuai's difficulties, Yu Huizu was silent for a while and said, "If Lord Sheng can first allow the subsequent funds from the Jingzhang Railway in Kuanchengzi, Meihekou, I am willing to raise one or two."

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is nearly 200 kilometers, but the construction cost is huge in the mountainous area. Sheng Xuanhuai's new postal department is afraid that it is a headache for money. However, Yu Huizu was wrong. After hearing this, Zhang Meiyi said: "Sir, there is no hurry in Beijing-Zhangjiakou, it is better to complete the iron factory and the bank first."

"So what the adult said?" He listened to the voice of the obedient voice. When he reached the level of Sheng Xuanhuai, he could not say many words clearly, but could only understand. "Huizu was stupid. If he had anything else to say, let the three masters ask him to come one by one."

"The adults explained this. Nothing else was said." Zhang Meiyi actually said everything he knew, and didn't know what Sheng Xuanhuai was going to do.
