The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 343 The only way to go
Having said that, Jiang Cheng shook his sleeves, stood up, and exchanged a look with Ye Hai, who had his hands on his waist, keeping alert at all times.

"Feilan, can't we discuss this properly?"

But before he could finish his words, the guards came up and all that was left was booing and groaning.

"Okay, I'll go see Xiaojuan and Chengye... I'll wait for you at home."

After saying this, he patted the dirt off his body and walked out quickly.

As he left, Sun Zhengnan came in. This shrewd Yenching University student saw through the embarrassment in the governor's office at a glance.

He immediately stepped forward and stood at attention in front of Jiang Cheng: "Master Jiang, the devils are gone... but I'm sure they won't let it go."

A hint of coldness flashed in his dark pupils, and Jiang Cheng's half-smile became even more mocking.

"Look, the Japanese are chasing us closely, and some of us are trying to poach our talents... Pingchuan, what do you think?"

Hai Pingchuan stood up with a stiff expression, saying, "I have never had any ideas. Don't I always listen to you and Dad?"

"To be honest, Dad sent me a telegram last night... Huixin also said that it's all your credit that the Hai family is what it is today, and we need to know who is the master."

"But I am a little worried about the Cai family. After all, he was demoted right after being promoted to brigade commander. There are many close friends in the Yuanming team that he brought up. If they start a rebellion in Liaoyuan, can Fushan stop them?"

At this point, Hai Pingchuan swallowed hard, "But no matter what, my family has nothing to say and will listen to you."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently, withdrew his gaze from him, and slowly glanced at the other people standing in the room.

Without exception, these senior military officers chose to express their loyalty.

"I, Jiang Cheng, am as honest as my name suggests. I am sincere in everything I do. I don't do anything pretentious. If you are my people, it would be best if we are sincere and united and work together."

Jiang Cheng finished calmly, "Alright, everyone go about your business - Yucheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Knowing that he was about to start discussing official business, several officers including Hai Pingchuan left the room.

At this moment, Yang Yucheng's expression was still a little dazed, as if he had not yet recovered from these power struggles.

Jiang Cheng understood the temperament of this scholar - compared with his slick father Yang Hong, he was completely absorbed in learning and research.

Faced with the factional struggles and intrigues among warlords of all sizes, he was completely unable to think.

"Feilan, I..."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Cheng smiled gently and stepped forward to hold his shoulders. He had grown a lot taller at this time, and was half a head taller than him.

The broad and strong elbow instantly stopped his trembling. Jiang Cheng said softly, "Are you scared? I also realized along the way that being a boss... is difficult."

"The higher the rank, the more soldiers and territory one has. There will always be brothers who quarrel over interests. But I can't pass this test. Let alone dominate, I can't even be a local tyrant!"

Patting his shoulder again, Jiang Cheng smiled and took him to the desk: "Okay, Yucheng! These trivial matters have nothing to do with you as a researcher..." "What do you want to talk to me about today? Tell me quickly. Look at the mule document in your hand. You have been rubbing it like a treasure for a long time!"

This scholar was always a taciturn person. After being joked by me, his face immediately turned red. "Feilan, I have nothing to say. You saved my life. You have always trusted me and entrusted me with the development of the industry. If I don't work hard, then what's the difference between me and an ungrateful person?"

After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Cheng to say anything, he immediately spread out the documents he had prepared on the table in front of Jiang Cheng.

"Based on the exploration map found by the Japanese expedition team last time, I have spent a month reorganizing and writing a new mining map."

"But there is a problem here. We have almost no mechanical equipment... Whether it is coal mining, iron mining or logging, we still mainly rely on extensive and purely manual methods."

"Feilan, I have discussed this with my third sister and Ziwen. Manual mining is too inefficient and prone to accidents... Look at this. Just from the Liufangzi coal mine, there have been dozens of large and small casualties since we took over five months ago."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and silently flipped through the records: behind the seemingly plain black and white words were bloody casualties.

"Yes, mineral mining and forestry logging are very important for the development of Jilin - but we can't risk human lives. Pure manual labor is slow..."

Jiang Cheng closed the booklet and looked up at him, "What do you mean, are you planning to purchase equipment?"

Yang Yucheng nodded heavily: "Yes. In addition to buying some logging equipment, I also want to purchase a batch of equipment to maintain the safety of the workers."

"By the way, Feilan, the third sister also raised a request... This list is what she wants. She said that the technology of our medicinal material processing workshop is too backward,"

"Now if we want to improve the utilization rate and production efficiency of medicinal materials, we must learn from the Western model and build our own medicinal material processing factory."

Jiang Cheng knew that Zhang Tingxue was a pharmaceutical researcher in the United States, and he had tried every means to invite her to come back because he wanted her to develop a medical system unique to the Northeast.

Seeing that all of his scientific researchers were so capable, Jiang Cheng was pleased from the bottom of his heart, because the troubles and unhappiness caused by the Cai family were swept away in an instant.

"Yucheng, I don't know what to say... To be honest, when your father asked me to let you attend the Military Academy, I really - hey! You have worked so hard for the development of Siping, I am deeply moved."

After saying this, Yang Yucheng quickly waved his hands and said that it was his duty. He also suggested that he go to Shanghai after the Spring Festival. Zhang Tingxue and his wife planned to buy equipment themselves.

In addition, Yang Yucheng also suggested to him that in addition to continuing to run the school, he could also improve the treatment of high-level talents and recruit some capable and talented people to Jilin, which would be far more efficient than training them on his own.

The two of them talked about development until the afternoon, and they were both very hungry;

The Spring Festival is just a few days away, and Jilin has had several snowfalls. All industries have gradually stopped working, and there is not much work to do in the office in the afternoon.

Jiang Cheng invited him to have dinner at his house, but Yang Yucheng said he wanted to go home. It made sense, as his wife had been married for less than three months, so of course he wanted to spend time with her when he had time.

But later when he got in the car, he thought that Yang Yucheng probably remembered that Cai Yuanzong was still at home and didn't want to get involved in these matters.

When Jiang Cheng thought about this, he felt not very good, but he still said that this matter must be handled properly.
