Back to the Republic of China as a commander

However, at the time of settlement, Wang Zhenyu insisted on paying in US dollars. Just kidding, the price of silver will drop at any time, and the US dollar will be the hard currency at that time.Wellington is also very happy, because now the First World War has not yet broken out, and the international settlement is still in British pounds. Of course he is happy that someone is willing to accept US dollars, which can save a lot of handling fees.For such a good supplier, Wellington swiped a pen, and the contract was signed for three years, and the payment was made every three months.Pagoda brand cement went to the international market. Cheng Zufu paid homage to the north for this: "My lord governor, you should be relieved that you are alive in heaven." Something happened) Anjiang Spinning Mill had some problems, Rong Desheng came to find Ye Zuwen and Wang Zhenyu in person: "Master, my elder brother has sent a telegram, our current spinning mill's scale of 15 spindles is almost the same, we can't expand any more. "

Wang Zhenyu asked in surprise, "Why?"

Rong Desheng was not in a hurry, and analyzed one by one: "The eldest brother said that the cotton he can receive can only guarantee this output, and now there are spinning mills in Nantong, it is really difficult to expand the source of raw materials. And if we blindly expand to 48 ingots according to the original plan, once the supply of raw materials is not available, there will be tens of thousands of mouths waiting to eat, and the commander has to guard against this matter."

Wang Zhenyu shook his head and said: "The factory will still be built according to the original plan. Raw materials are indeed a big problem, but I have entrusted Belgian Bank to purchase cotton from overseas for us. Basically, in the next ten years, this channel will be stable."

Rong Desheng was shocked: "You can't do it, Commander. Now continue to follow the plan, and it will be fully put into production by January next year at the latest. The imported cotton is not cheap. The cost of sea freight and customs duties is almost calculated, and the cost of producing a box will be doubled." It has doubled to 130 yuan, but the price of a box of yarn in the market is only 156 yuan. This profit is easy to go wrong, and there will be so many people consuming this. Marshal, think twice .”

These businessmen know that it is a small account in front of them. If a war breaks out in the future, won't Lao Tzu's market come out?Let alone 156 yuan a box, the yarn can be sold for 260 yuan a box, so what are you afraid of?

But the small businessman still needs to be persuaded, otherwise the Rong family brothers really think that it will be troublesome for them to walk around. Wang Zhenyu can only explain patiently: "Don't worry, these goods will be sold to Europe, so don't worry about the sales. "

Hearing such an explanation, although Rong Desheng was dubious, he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only sigh and fell silent.

But Wang Zhenyu continued: "Old Rong, there is another problem. For 4800 new machines, you only need to recruit 6000 workers. It's too stingy. Don't think I don't know. The salary you give workers is only eight yuan a month, which is not as good as Lao Tzu's." Since the labor cost is so low, you should recruit more. Anyway, it is female workers, and they will work in three shifts. At that time, people will stop the machine and stop for four days a month for maintenance, right? 1 people, you want to recruit me Manha, otherwise you can give me this treatment of 15 yuan."

Rong Desheng was so angry that he ran away: "Yes, you are the major shareholder, and you all listen to you, but do you know how many people there are in Hongjiang? Thirty thousand, my commander, where do you want me to go?" It has recruited 1 people, and it has only recruited 2500 people right now."

Wang Zhenyu slapped his head: "Oh, I was negligent. I forgot to mention it to you. It's just next door, on the side of Xuefeng Mountain. Baoqing Mansion has a lot of labor. Let's recruit them. There are many people and little land. living, and there are still eight oceans per month, and it is estimated that they will be fully recruited soon.”

When Rong Desheng heard it, there is such a place?

In the midsummer of the second year of the Republic of China, Xuefeng Mountain, from Baoqing Mansion to Xiangxi, tens of thousands of Baoqing people came in groups with dreams of life, and walked over Xuefeng Mountain to Anjiang to seek a living. Such a casual sentence from Wang Zhenyu. . .

On June 6st, International Children's Day is not available at this time.But it doesn't matter, seeing Ye Ziwen's seven-month belly, Wang Zhenyu decided to take Ye Ziwen to the living area to participate in the completion of Anjiang Cinema. This cinema has ten three-story buildings with a total of more than 1 seats.

Mother Chen didn't want her daughter-in-law to be bumpy, saying that she was afraid that the accident would affect the child.Wang Zhenyu smiled and said it's okay, I'm doing prenatal education.

prenatal education?What kind of stuff is this, Mrs. Chen was taken aback for a moment, and her son got into the car with his wife and left.

The first film to be shown today is the four short films "The Queen Mother", "Unfortunate", "Vengeance in the Wafer Pot" and "Stealing Roast Chicken" by Asia Film Company.For Wang Zhenyu, who is used to watching blockbuster movies in later generations, this is nothing, but Ye Ziwen and other military and political officials watched it with great interest. It seems that the cultural life of this era is indeed too poor.

After returning home, Ye Ziwen talked to Chen about the fun of the movie while dancing.Looking at his carefree wife, Wang Zhenyu's chest was filled with happiness, and at the same time, he secretly made up his mind that no matter what the future holds, he must try his best to protect this happy family, even if there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

On June 6, the Xiangxi Auditorium was completed. This 20-meter-high Western-style auditorium is divided into three floors, of which the first and second floors are the auditorium, and the third floor is the auditorium.This Gothic building feels very solemn and solemn, and the first time it was used was the first graduation ceremony of the Xiangxi Military Academy.As the boss of these officers, Wang Zhenyu came to the Xiangxi Auditorium to speak in person: "Young officers, I am proud and proud to have students and subordinates like you. From today, you are a member of the Xiangxi Garrison. Whether qualified military officers can be called excellent depends on your service performance. I will always pay attention to your growth and progress, and hope that you will not disappoint the knowledge and opportunities this military academy has given you. Gentlemen, after the Yuan Dynasty, our country The mountains and rivers are still broken and the wind and rain are precarious. In my opinion, if we want to make the country rich and the people strong, we must rely on you. You young officers with ideals, morality and aspirations are going to fight for the future of the motherland. I believe you will be able to shoulder the burden. The mission given to you by this history, I firmly believe that you will use your wisdom and courage to build a beautiful China for this country, this nation, this era and your own destiny..."

The applause continued for a long time, and the officers were successfully incited. Wealth and status are always the biggest motivation to tempt people to move forward.As for the glorious mission of liberating all mankind, let's leave it to those true revolutionaries.

Throughout July, Wang Zhenyu traveled to various units of the Xiangxi Defense Team to understand their problems and solve their difficulties one by one. The newly established photography and publicity team truthfully recorded Wang Zhenyu's visit to the grassroots.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief whom the officers said was extremely respected was so amiable and amiable to sit and eat with the little soldiers like himself, and even go out for exercises and training together, the soldiers suddenly began to believe what the cadres of the Fuxing Society said. The most glorious existence.

The first batch of 24 members of the Fuxing Society organized by Chen Shao, including his juniors Li Buwei and Zeng Qi, served as instructors in various units of the Guards Brigade and the recruit base, taught the soldiers to brainwash them, and promoted the general among them. , Mythical Marshal.

On July 7, Wang Zhenyu personally received two activists, Li Buwei and Zeng Qi.Li Buwei is from Changsha, Hunan Province. He is 1 years old this year. He originally planned to study in Japan, but Chen Shao persuaded him to go to Anjiang with a letter and applied for the military academy.Since he and Chen Shao are brothers and sisters, he was naturally the first to be dragged into the bandit ship when he formed the Fuxing Society this time.

Zeng Qi is from Longchang, Sichuan. He is 20 years old this year. He came to Anjiang by accident. Because his wallet was stolen, he had to stop in Anjiang when he was planning to go to Shanghai.It is really a coincidence that I applied for the military academy to make a living.

During this time, Li Buwei and Zeng Qi praised the general in front of them every day among the soldiers. Those who didn't know really thought that they were very familiar with the general Wang.In fact, this was really the first time we met. The result of long-term brainwashing is unknown, but it is a fact that they have successfully brainwashed themselves. When they saw Wang Zhenyu, they were so excited that they shed tears.

Wang Zhenyu is sweating profusely, don't cry, I am not the third generation of Jin, I am not a tear gas bomb.

Wang Zhenyu talked to them very kindly about his ideas, which are actually the national socialism set, but some of the radical things have been eliminated.Wang Zhenyu called this big nationalism, and said that it still needs to be perfected.

Naturally, it was Zeng Qi. Li Buwei stood up and said that he must fight for this great nationalism for the rest of his life.The reception was over here, and Wang Zhenyu suddenly made a decision: "In this way, I plan to set up a nationalism research association in the military academy. Xiao Zeng and Xiao Li will go back to the military academy and cooperate with Chen Shao to give me this research meeting." Get up, something will come out."

This is also an inspiration. Not long ago, Liu Guojun insisted on becoming an industrial technical school, but this name is not well known and cannot attract capable people.Wang Zhenyu immediately decided to establish the Xiangxi Industrial Research Institute. As a result, people like Hou Debang were poached from Shanghai.This incident also made Wang Zhenyu realize that there is still a reason for the existence of headline parties.

Chapter 124 The Eve of the War ([-])

It's May in a blink of an eye, and the political turmoil caused by the Song case has gradually calmed down as Zhou Lan analyzed.Many people even have the illusion that peace has come, only Wang Zhenyu doesn't see it that way, he is still gearing up and preparing for war.

The living quarters were completed one by one, and after simple renovations, the Anjiang Administration Bureau, which Chen Quzhen was in charge of, began to divide the houses into units.It was the first time for the young male and female workers to live in such a high-rise house. They looked around, felt around, and couldn’t fall asleep after tossing all night. The workers were given a day off, and everyone was happy and shouted long live.

Jingzhou Cement Plant found a big buyer for the cement, a Danish foreign company in Shanghai, but the buyer was an American named Wellington, who was also an old customer of Liu Hongsheng.

Wellington is also very practical, friendship is friendship, business is business.It is required that it is all on the contract, written clearly in black and white.

Cement is 170 kg per barrel, and the price per barrel is 1 US dollar (so cheap?) and the silver dollar is only 2.2 yuan.The total annual demand is 500 million barrels, which is 500 million US dollars.In addition, the waterway from Jingzhou to Shanghai must be taken care of by the Xiangxi Development Company. After all, the situation in China is very unstable now. This point is that the foreigners are well-versed, so they will not be in harmony with you!

Fortunately, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help this. He owns a shipping company with a very large scale. In the Yangtze River waterway, he dare not say it is the first, but it is also the top three.In addition, this shipping company flies the British flag. In other words, even Yuan Shikai would not dare to send troops to intercept the ship.So the problem of transportation is not a problem, and Wellington also expressed his willingness to pay this part of the freight.

This is almost 85 tons of cement, and the rest can be sold domestically. The Luyang plant can almost be launched. After all, there will be more places that need cement in the future, so 200 million tons is really nothing.

However, at the time of settlement, Wang Zhenyu insisted on paying in US dollars. Just kidding, the price of silver will drop at any time, and the US dollar will be the hard currency at that time.Wellington is also very happy, because now the First World War has not yet broken out, and the international settlement is still in British pounds. Of course he is happy that someone is willing to accept US dollars, which can save a lot of handling fees.For such a good supplier, Wellington swiped a pen, and the contract was signed for three years, and the payment was made every three months.Pagoda brand cement went to the international market. Cheng Zufu paid homage to the north for this: "My lord governor, you should be relieved that you are alive in heaven." Something happened) Anjiang Spinning Mill had some problems, Rong Desheng came to find Ye Zuwen and Wang Zhenyu in person: "Master, my elder brother has sent a telegram, our current spinning mill's scale of 15 spindles is almost the same, we can't expand any more. "

Wang Zhenyu asked in surprise, "Why?"

Rong Desheng was not in a hurry, and analyzed one by one: "The eldest brother said that the cotton he can receive can only guarantee this output, and now there are spinning mills in Nantong, it is really difficult to expand the source of raw materials. And if we blindly expand to 48 ingots according to the original plan, once the supply of raw materials is not available, there will be tens of thousands of mouths waiting to eat, and the commander has to guard against this matter."
