Volume E Chapter 25 Statement
Yang Rui's insights from World War II novels and movies are actually not applicable to World War I, and many of his views are wrong. Existence is reasonable. If technology has not developed to a certain extent, no matter how good the ideas are, they are illusory.
Zhong Guanguang didn't want to talk about the aircraft engine when discussing the important matters of founding the country, but when Yang Rui asked, he had to say in detail: "It's still not possible. The fixed cylinder of the star engine is not good for heat dissipation. Although it has nine cylinders in a single row, air cooling can only cool the front part of the cylinder, and the rear part of the cylinder is difficult to cool because it cannot blow wind. Gasoline is not as good as diesel, and the ignition point is very low. Once the cylinder in the second half turns red due to high temperature, the entire engine cannot work. On the contrary, the star engine invented by the French, which has sufficient heat dissipation because the cylinder rotates, so it has been put into practical use. However, because the cylinder mass is too large and the rotation wear is severe, the engine life is too short."
It was the damn heat dissipation issue again. Yang Rui was upset, but now it is not the time to explain the technical details, so he stopped asking. It was several years before the war, so he couldn't even study this scam star engine after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"It turns out that what are the medicines? There are four items in your document." Xu Huafeng asked. He just heard that there were two items.
"It's four items. Originally two sulfonamides, but later I added another Yunnan Baiyao Factory and an ordinary sanitary substrate factory. This is four items." Yang Rui explained. He read it according to the book and remembers it is relatively scattered, so it sounds like there is an error.
The sulfonamide technology is mature. Xu Huafeng does not understand Yunnan Baiyao and sanitary substrates, so he had to ask further: "Those two iron plants..." Xu Huafeng paused for a moment, "I won't talk about it here on Wutai Mountain. Although the ore grade is only 45%. But we can still dress ore. If it doesn't work, it will sinter. But if it really needs to start mine in Benxi, aren't you afraid that the Japanese will be red-eyed? Special steel is produced here, and such steel plates cannot be made in Asia."
"There is no way to be jealous." Yang Rui shook his head. "Who made the iron medium there so good? If you change a place, such as Hanyang or Ma'anshan, it would be impossible to make such steel in a short time."
Xu Huafeng understood the difficulty of choosing Benxi, where the ore is low in sulfur and phosphorus, and coking coal is low in sulfur and low in phosphorus. It is simply a perfect match. This kind of steel gun, cannon and warship is indispensable in anything.
"I'm afraid that as soon as the steel plant starts, the Japanese will think about how to get it over." Zhong Guanguang also said that he stayed in Tonghua and fully understood the Japanese ambitions. "Can't you process the ore movement Tonghua Iron Factory? The two places are actually not far away."
"The Benxi Iron and Steel Plant is located between the South Manchuria Railway and the Anfeng Railway. If the railway is built, it must cross the Anfeng Line. The Japanese will definitely not agree. Moreover, the steel plant is the same in Benxi and Tonghua. It is just one in their mouths and the other in their mouths, and they will take a few more steps. If the Japanese attack on Tonghua, the Americans may not dare to send troops." Yang Rui said.
"It's a coincidence that Gongchangling is just outside the two railway fifteen kilometers away. If I were a Japanese, I would be anxious to see it. If there wasn't a Prince River, that place would have been blocked by them." Zhang Taiyan, a literati who didn't understand industry, also came to join in the fun, "It turns out that if you want to build an iron factory here, it would be a tiger's teeth."
"It's true, let's transport the local coking coal out and transport it to Ma'anshan. Can't stock up on the low-sulfur coal in advance? Or Shanxi has a lot of coal, can't we find the same coking coal? As for iron ore, we should use Huoqiu's. Isn't this also low-sulfur and low-phosphorus iron ore? If the coking coal is not enough, then use charcoal to refine it." Xu Huafeng thought about this extremely difficult thing. In the end, he could only think of this compromise method.
"Huoqiu can expand the production of charcoal pig iron, but Benxi Lake cannot be pulled down." Yang Rui was also reflecting on the construction of Benxi Lake Iron and Steel Plant. Finally, he said: "Transfer various equipment first. Various civil engineering projects can be completed first. Whether to install the machine will be installed, let's see."
Seeing that Yang Rui basically agreed with his suggestion, Xu Huafeng skipped Benxi Lake and looked at the content behind. Six non-ferrous metals, except for one electrolytic aluminum factory, one cemented carbide factory, and one smelting plant, the others are non-ferrous metal mines; while eight chemicals, except for dye factories, calcium carbide factories, other such as acid factories, alkali factories, and synthetic ammonia factories, all have existing technologies; nine mechanical projects, lathes, motors, boilers, bearings, tools, and instruments are key difficulties, and others such as textile machinery, mining machinery, and bicycles are not difficult, basically imitation; except for one paper mill, the textile factory; because the technology is ready-made, it is not difficult; six military projects, namely aircraft factories and engine factories, radios and electronic tubes, and two arsenals are also ready-made technologies and personnel; two ship projects, Wuchang and Ma'anshan are newly built, and Jiangnan Bureau is expanding, it is not difficult; finally three railways...
"Which three railways are there?" Xu Huafeng asked.
"The first is the Zhangpu Line, with the starting point of Fengling Ferry of the Yellow River as the starting point. Then go north to Datong, Taiyuan and all the way to Zhangjiakou. The railway will cross the entire Shanxi, connect the Yellow River to the south and Jingzhang to the north, with a total of 1,000 kilometers; and the other is the Houyan Line, one is the railway that extends to Xi'an, Xi'an and then to Houma. This railway is not long, less than 500 kilometers, but it is the key to connecting Shanxi to Xi'an..." Yang Rui said. However, before he could talk further, Xu Huafeng interrupted.
"When you go to Xi'an from Shanxi, don't you have to cross the Yellow River?" Xu Huafeng Road, Jinqiao Yin Road, and the Yellow River Bridge in Jinghan took a lot of money and it was repaired twice before it was repaired. Now Yang Rui said that Houyan Line is also going to build the Yellow River Bridge, and he is very worried about construction issues.
"We have to cross the Yellow River, but the bridge was built at Longmen. After Longmen, the Yellow River surface expanded and the flow rate was also flat. It was difficult and costly to build a bridge here." Yang Rui planned the railway route completely according to the map of later generations. There were few horizontal railways between Baoxi Line and Tongpu Line. Houxi Line is one, and Shenmuyuanping is one at the north. However, Houxi Line is closest to Yanchang Oilfield, so he chose to build Houxi Line.
There is a saying that carp leaps over the Dragon Gate, and there is also a Dragon Gate Inn in the Fuxinghui. Everyone was very kind to hear Yang Rui’s words about building a bridge in the Yellow River Longmen. Zhang Taiyan interjected and said, “The dragon gate is good, the dragon gate is good. Is it much better to choose here than what kind of Yellow River Bridge built by foreigners.”
When everyone heard him say this, everyone laughed. Xu Huafeng said, "Is there any surveying and mapping of the entire line?"
"Yeah." Yang Rui lied. "I've finished the surveying and mapping for the first time. There is no problem with the choice of routes. The key is that I have to do detailed surveying and mapping in the construction. But as of now, it is not difficult to build a bridge in the gantry."
"That's good. Then the third railway is the Wuchang-Guangzhou Guangdong-Hanzhou Line?" Xu Huafeng asked.
"It's just possible that the Guangdong-Han Line. The Guangdong-Han and Sichuan-Han Railways have been mortgaged to the Four Kingdoms Bank Group by the Qing Dynasty. Although the draft was only signed. However, in the eyes of foreigners, the draft is a formal document, just like the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway back then, and the draft was taken as real by the British. If the foreigners can give money, then we will recognize the draft discussed by Sheng Xuanhuai; if we drag it out and don't pay, we will build a railway from Jiujiang, go through Nanchang and then south to Hong Kong." Yang Rui said.
"That is, crossing Jiangxi and then connecting to Hong Kong, which is still a thousand kilometers?" Xu Huafeng said.
"Well, there are no railways south of the Yangtze River except the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line. No matter how much money is saved in the five years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, these three railways still cannot be saved." Yang Rui said: "If you count this kind of 2,500 kilometers of railways, 30,000 taels per kilometer, it will cost 75 million. There are many mountains in the south, so I'm afraid that 30,000 taels are not enough. It is estimated that the budget of these three railways is about 90,000 taels, and the remaining money is coal mines, power plants and various other industrial investments."
The three railways went to nearly 100 million, and the remaining 56 projects were calculated based on the total amount of 300 million. In addition to the funds for hoarding strategic materials and supporting private industry and mining, the remaining money was divided equally with an investment scale of only 2 million taels per project. These two million seemed a lot, but what Yang Rui wanted to build this time was not a small factory, but a large factory, especially sulfonamide, synthetic ammonia**, aircraft, tractors, steel plants, machine tools, boilers, shipyards and other money-making projects. He wanted to build the largest scale that he could withstand.
For example, steel now has only 500,000 tons of iron and 150,000 tons of steel, which is only 700,000 tons of steel. To increase the scale to two million tons, it has tripled. Two iron plants can not be sold for millions of taels, but it really needs to reach this scale. In addition, a complete supporting factory can be at least 10 million taels; steel is the case, and most other things are the case. Heavy industry is a capital-intensive industry. If it weren’t for a battle, it would be a half of the money to invest.
After Yang Rui finished talking about the railway, the next issue was how to treat the personnel of the old system. Manchus would not harm his life, but he had to return to the Northeast with bare hands. Everyone agreed with this, but there were still some statements on his lips. However, Yang Rui was originally morally speaking. As long as Manchus could prove that the money was made entirely by himself, the house was bought, and he had a legitimate career. For example, Ying Lianzhi of Ta Kung Pao, he would return the flag salary, so what he liked.
"It turns out that the money earned by those who are officials, employees, and soldiers in the court is considered legal income?" Yu Zixun asked.
"You might as well ask us if we admit it or not, the Qing Dynasty represents China," Yang Rui looked at him and said angrily. "It's not counting the soldiers. As long as they are officials, who has never been corrupt? As long as they are corrupt officials, they should be killed after verified."
"What about the soldiers?" This is the question Yu Zixun wanted to ask, "What should we do if they are captured by us?"
"If it is a Han Chinese, then let it go after the founding of the country, and the Manchus will be a different matter." Yang Rui looked at him and said, "Because of factors such as territory and diplomacy, we have to admit that the Manchus and Qing dynasties were China's legal government this year. If we stand this position, we will only come to an extremely absurd conclusion, that is, the Manchus and Qing dynasties were legal acts, and our revolution was illegal. This means that the captured new army is not guilty, but for the Manchus, whether they fight to fulfill their national obligations or to maintain the status of the ruling nation, it is difficult to distinguish clearly."
"Referring to the Civil War in the United States, all soldiers are innocent after they have sworn allegiance." Yu Zixun said. He understood that the reason why soldiers were innocent was because the fifty divisions after the founding of the country were to incorporate the Manchu Qingxin Army, and how could the Manchu army have a manchu?
"The United States is the United States, and the free national conditions of the 'Qing Dynasty' are here." Yang Rui saw that he was talking about the United States again, and he didn't know why he suddenly thought of the famous quotes on the Internet in later generations, so he smiled and said it. However, others did not understand the meaning. He had to say: "China has never been a society ruled by law, and there are few people who take the oath as real. Since ancient times, fighting for the world has been a success, king and defeated bandits. The officers and soldiers of the Manchus. After the founding of the country, it will definitely be a source of chaos. These people cannot go to the Northeast like ordinary Manchus, but should go to Xinjiang. There is an old saying that goes, "Don't do it and stop. We have pulled the Manchus off the throne, and even turned them from princes, relatives and nobles, first-class nations into paupers who have no status. Will they not hate me? If hatred cannot be eliminated, then we must eliminate the people with grudges. Is there nothing wrong with me?"
Yang Ruiyan had murderous intentions, and Zhang Taiyan said, "Zi Xun, Jing Cheng, is not going to kill them, but to enforce them. He just moved them out of the pass. Think about the fate of the previous Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Taiyan mentioned Qianming not only made everyone speechless, but also made Yang Rui feel a little evil. He had thought about setting up a Manchu-Ren Rangers and killing Manchu, so he let Manchu do it. In this way, he could still be criticized in the future, but such a perfect idea could not be realized.
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Yang Rui asked, "Then this matter is settled, it's the turn of corrupt officials. Because they had to rely on these people in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they could not be as strict as before. As long as they could pay the stolen money, it would be fine. In addition, if the stolen money had been invested in industry and commerce, and with the starting point of stabilizing the economy, we would not be able to withdraw cash. We could only get back the shares. This is the handling principle of corrupt officials. Do you think you have any opinions?"
"There are no officials in the Qing Dynasty, so the key is not to go up again, but should be lowered." Zhong Guanguang said. "Especially the tax collectors who collect taxes below are the most hateful. Whenever these people are in summer and autumn taxes, they will increase their income and collect more money. Most of the excess money is in their pockets. If they work for a long time, they are afraid that the county magistrate will take less."
"It's true." Zhong Guanguang said. The others agreed. However, Yang Rui said: "In June, taxes will be collected in October. Some places will be occupied late, so it will probably not be able to stabilize the situation until August. People below the county magistrate, except for the extremely public outrage, others still have to win over, otherwise the tax revenue this year will not be completed even if it is 100 million."
"Just let these people go?" Zhang Taiyan asked.
"Well. As long as we cooperate, we will let it go." Yang Rui said. "Although students from the Law and Political School continue to intern in the county governments in various places and are constantly collecting information from various counties, those who have not handled it will not play any role if they really want to come on the stage rashly. It is very necessary to let these people lead the area. It is not a huge public outrage. If they actively cooperate, they should be allowed to enter the State Taxation Bureau in the end."
Yang Rui said that he insisted that everyone still compromised when they thought about the tax revenue this year. After all, if there is no money, the country will be in turmoil. Compared with the country that is stable, the latter is more important.
After talking about corrupt officials, the gentry finally listed them entirely because of land reform.
"If the peasants want to bribe, the gentry must sacrifice. This is a matter of power and scheming, and it has nothing to do with justice and laws." Yang Rui set a tone from the beginning. "If the peasants are not bribed, the cohesion of the peasant association will be greatly reduced. However, there is no need to make it as bloody as when Yanzhou was first established before. As long as the Agricultural Bank of China sees the benefits."
As soon as Yang Rui talked about the bloody Yanzhou, Yu Zixun sighed in a low voice: "Three hundred and nineteen."
Although his voice was light, Yang Rui still heard it. This was a certain number counted in the Yanzhou base area. Of course, it was very inaccurate. He stopped to look at Yu Zixun and saw that his eyes were shifting elsewhere, so he had to endure the words to his mouth. Revolution - no, in Yang Rui's heart, he was already very disdainful of the word revolution. Isn't it just rebellion? Why do you have to be so fashionable? In his opinion, there are still too few people who will rebel and die in the revival, and there are less than 100,000 inside and outside.
It can be seen that Yang Rui was a little angry. Zhong Guangui, who was closest to Yang Rui, raised his voice and said, "The land of the farmer is the best, no matter how difficult it is, it must be achieved. Otherwise, the country cannot change it. I have seen the land reform in the Meiji Restoration in Japan. They rescued the farmers from Daming and distributed the land to the farmers, while Daming issued national debts. This approach satisfies everyone. I think our land reform can be the same, and special land bonds are issued to the landlords, and then..."
Zhong Guanguang is purely to avoid being cold, but when he talked about the bond method, Yang Rui said: "Xian Qian, China has a total of more than 1.1 billion arable land, while Japan only has 5.4 million chakra, one chakra, and one chakra, and one chakra, equals one 1.5 mu, that is, there are only 81 million arable land in Japan, and 200 million arable land, which is 1.6 billion taels. And China has more than 30% of the more than 1.1 billion arable land in the hands of landlords, which means that they have 400 million arable land, and 200 million arable land, if there are 8 billion, ten ounces, there are 4 billion. Five ounces, there are 2 billion. Who are you going to ask to repay these 2 billion? Or are you not going to repay them?"
Zhong Guanguang saw Yang Rui being serious and said embarrassedly, "Then tell me, how can you achieve the land of ploughing people?"
He surrendered, and Xu Huafeng said, "It was successful. If the land was to be distributed to the people, they would naturally have to bear the debt. Whether it was ten or five liang, it would always be worth a number to make sense, otherwise everyone who had no land would make trouble."
"It doesn't matter if they make a fuss, they are afraid that land reform will cause panic in the market. If the fields can be confiscated, can shops and factories be confiscated? Once everyone thinks that we will even confiscate shops and factories, then all of these people will enter the concession." Wang Jitong also intervened. He was afraid that Yang Rui would force the confiscate land and kill people at the same time as Yanzhou before. "It turns out that if we really want to make more money during the European War, we must stabilize the hearts of the people on the market. "It turns out that, just like us, if we really want to make more money during the European War, we must stabilize the hearts of the people on the market.
.How much money can you make in fifty-six projects? How much money can you make with Tianzi? The most important thing is to let industry and businessmen across the country take this opportunity to make money, so that you can maximize profits as you said before. In fact, many gentry not only have land, but also workshops of all sizes. They have nowhere to go after making money, so they have to buy land to save money. Once the land is forcibly confiscated, they must eventually hide in renting. If they make money during the war, they will not be able to make money."
Seeing so many people talking, Yu Zixun also said, "In fact, if you forcefully collect land, it will be inconsistent with the previous industrial projects. The real purpose of building dozens of projects is to make money, but forced land will only cause all the gentry to run away. They will run away. We don't have so many people to take over their workshops. The final result is that fifty-six projects have made money, but the gentry and the people have not made money. After all, they still have lost money."
Seeing that Yu Zixun said he was losing money, Yang Rui laughed furiously and asked, "What, have you settled the score?"
"It turned out. I didn't believe that Europe would have a big battle before, but now looking at their two camps, it's clear that this battle is inevitable. In this way, when they fight, it's time for us to make money. It's hard to say whether we can really make 2 billion, but there are still more than one billion. This money is equivalent to the 230 million taels that Japan earned during the Sino-Japanese War, and it can basically turn the country into a different shape. Whether it's the money earned by the government or the money earned by the gentry and the people, it's all the money of China." Yu Zixun said. He didn't know that Yang Rui was angry.
"Does Brother Chong'an have anything to say?" Yang Rui asked. All four of them expressed their opinions, only Xie Zhangtai and Zhang Taiyan did not speak.
"Everyone said it very well." Xie Zhangtai's first sentence was not offended, "It is not okay for people to have no land to farm, and the rent and tax are not enough. However, many of the overseas Chinese are landlords. Once land is forced to be collected, the overseas Chinese will offend them. These people travel across the ocean to do hard work, and many of them just want to become landlords. Some people have never become landlords in their lives, and they have died in foreign countries. Some are lucky enough to finally buy a few pieces of land at home. Once they are forced to confiscate them, they will fight to the death." After Xie Zhangtai finished speaking, he was afraid that Yang Rui would not hear it, and even said: "To be honest, I don't agree with land reform, but I know that farmers are suffering too. Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?"
After Xie Zhangtai said that, Yang Rui did not answer and asked Zhang Taiyan again, "Uncle Mei, tell me."
Chapter completed!
