On August 29th, the Emperor’s Secret Society, which realized that the news had been leaked, did not dare to allow the Jiyou to dock. It was reported that there would be an auction of penicillin on the Jiyou. All countries are welcome to participate.

On August [-], the auction officially started, and dozens of countries including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Tsarist Russia, and the United States participated.

Penicillin, which was originally worth [-] million taels of silver, was raised to [-] million taels of silver.

This made the entire Emperor's Secret Society cheer, and they made a fortune for the Emperor.

The Dongyou transport fleet has become famous all over the world.

On September [-]th, Hans, the German Consul General in Shanghai, visited Zhang Chenxing again. The two chatted on the balcony of the villa on the roof, looking at the Huangpu River and the sea at the same time.

"Miracle Zhang, if I hadn't personally witnessed the changes in the Sixth District of Jiangnan, I would not have believed that such a big change could have taken place in just over two years."

"Is it only Jiangnan that has changed dramatically in Shanghai?

Didn't Jiangbei also change a lot? "

The situation in Jiangnan can be said to be one super and many weak, one super is the Wanshi Group, and the more weak is the many small factories, most of these small factories serve the Wanshi Group.

Jiangbei is a situation where multiple strong forces coexist, especially the public concession and the French concession. Since Dao Scar and Tian Zhengzhai came to power, a large amount of Chinese capital has poured into it and achieved leapfrog development.

With the help of the European War, the pace of development was further accelerated.

After being ruled by the Hong Gang, the underground world of the Sixth Jiangbei District became more stable, favored by a large amount of capital, and developed rapidly. However, compared with the Public Concession, the French Concession, and the Eighth Jiangnan District, there is still a big gap.

Hans sighed.

"Magic can come out of you, Dao Scar, Tian Zhengzhai, Ximen, and several other geniuses. It is really a place favored by God."

"It is a place favored by God, not a place favored by God. We don't believe in God."

"It is because you do not believe in God that you were abandoned by God, and now you are far behind other countries."

"If we believe in God now, can we really be compared with the West immediately?"

"How is this possible? There must be a process."

"Isn't God omnipotent, can't this process be omitted?"

"This, this, this, I don't know, maybe it's a test given to you by his old man."

"Okay, now that we have entered the age of technology, let's not believe in these illusory things.

I heard that because of the Dongyou transport fleet, you suffered heavy losses, is it true? "

"It is true, but England has lost more than we have, and if France is added, the loss will be even greater.

It can be said that this time we not only did not suffer a loss, but made a lot of money. "

"I remember I told you about the strangeness of the Dongyou transport fleet. Didn't you report it to the country?"

"I reported it, but unfortunately they didn't believe it."

"It's a pity, if your country values ​​you, there will be no losses this time, and the navy will be able to further narrow the gap with the Allies."

"It's a pity, but the current results are already good."

"I don't know why Mr. Hans came to see me this time?"

"I heard that you rejected the request from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to purchase Wanshi No. [-] steel and Wanshi No. [-] cement. I came here to thank you."

"No thanks, I just kept my promise.

However, our production capacity is expanding rapidly. If you don't increase your purchases, for your own benefit, no wonder we sell to other countries. "

"I am here this time, apart from thanking you, another thing is to buy more of your products, including Wanshi No. [-] steel and Wanshi No. [-] cement."

"How much are you going to increase?"

"How much Wanshi No. [-] steel and Wanshi No. [-] cement are produced, and how much we want. There is only one requirement, that they cannot be sold to other countries, and other commodities are temporarily doubled."

"Don't worry, as long as you can eat all the Wanshi No. [-] steel and Wanshi No. [-] cement, I will never sell them to other countries."

"That's fine."

"It's not because of the Dongyou Transport Fleet that you made such a huge change, right?"

"It's because of the Dongyou transport fleet.

With the Dongyou transport fleet, there is no need to worry about the supplies not being transported back, so you can buy them with confidence.

I just don't know how big the Dongyou transport fleet is, and whether it can undertake the transport task. "

"I don't know too much. I just heard from them that they have a large scale, and our Wanshi Group is just one of their target customers."

"If that's the case, I'm relieved."

Then the two chatted for a while, and Hans left without even eating lunch.

Now that Europe has been fighting, it is obvious that Hans is not as leisurely as he appears on the surface.

After seeing off Hans, he went back to the balcony of the villa on the roof, lay down on the deck chair, and thought while watching the river and sea view.

After a long time, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.

"Let Liu San come over."

"Yes, helper."

A voice sounded from an unknown corner, and soon fell silent.

Half an hour later, Liu San came in front of him, pointed at the reclining chair next to him and said.

"sit."

"Thank you, helper."

"Is there any change in buying food now?"

War has been fought in Europe, and presumably food prices have begun to soar.

Liu San said with a serious expression on his face.

"Food prices have doubled and are still rising, and the United States, Britain, and France have restricted exports."

Most of the land in the United States is plain, and it has always been a big agricultural country and a major country for grain exports.

Although the food production in the United Kingdom and France is not much, they have a large number of colonies, and the colonies produce a lot of food.

Not to mention the far ones, but the nearby ones. Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Australia are all big grain-producing countries.

Most of the food purchased by Wanshi Group, Yingtang, and Fuxin Chamber of Commerce comes from these countries.

"How about our food reserves?"

"According to the current consumption rate, it can be consumed for two years."

Zhang Chenxing was startled suddenly, sat up straight and said.

"How is it possible that the Wanshi Group and Yingtang have been buying food all these years, and the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce also joined in later?"

"We buy a lot of food and consume a lot.

Let’s not talk about the far ones, let’s just talk about the eight districts in the south of the Yangtze River, which now have a total population of more than 600 million. We have always provided them, and we have not purchased domestic food.

There is also a large amount of military rations and instant noodles purchased by Germany, which also consume a large amount of food.

Wanshijiu is now one of the best liquors in China, and it also consumes a lot of food.

In order to keep secret, the Yunguichuan base is all located in mountainous areas, and there is not much land to be developed. They are all mountainous areas, but they have a population of more than 300 million, and they need to support a large amount of food.

The number of the Northeast Anti-Heaven Army has reached 80. Relying on the undeveloped Rehe Province and a part of Jilin Province alone cannot support them at all, and they need to support a large amount of food. "

If you don't listen, you don't know. When you hear it, you are shocked. It turns out that you need to support so many people.

Instead, he is now worried, worrying about whether there will be enough food for two years.

Immediately asked.

"Can the remaining food feed everyone for two years?"

"It can be fed for two years, including the population growth in the next two years and the food consumed by the expansion of Wanshi Food Group."

It was all taken into account, and the stored grain could still be used for two years, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

There is a two-year buffer time, which is enough to solve these problems.

Immediately asked.

"How is the implementation of the future granary plan?"

"Through various means, we have acquired a large amount of land and built a large number of manors in Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Australia.

At the same time, it is constantly acquiring land and building more manors.

As long as it lasts, it should have no problem feeding us all.

At the same time, Li Wen also secretly controlled a large amount of land in the United States and built a large number of manors.

A large number of grain companies have also been established, and a large amount of grain has been deducted during the continuous buying and selling.

It also controls and creates a large number of private ports, as long as it has enough transport ships, it can transport a large amount of food back.

Now the size of the Dongyou transport fleet is constantly expanding, and I believe it will not take long for them to meet the requirements. "

"If these plans can be implemented, how much food can be obtained."

"If all goes well, there should be enough food to feed 1000 million people a year.

After two years, at least 3000 million people will be able to obtain food. "

"Continue to increase investment, and after two years, at least 5000 million people will be provided with food."

"Yes, helper."

"Has the number of Guardsmen already reached 80?"

"Yes, there are 20 veterans among them, 20 recruits have been trained and have seen blood, so they are considered veterans, and the remaining 40 are recruits.

After these 40 people have been trained, Li Tian wants to send troops to take down the remaining Jilin Province and the entire Heilongjiang Province. "

"Not for the time being, we have to wait until next year to let Li Tian train the army well."

Next year is the time when Yuan Shikai signed the 21 Articles with Japan and proclaimed himself emperor, and the whole world will turn against him.

At that time, if we acted, the pressure from the Beiyang Army would be reduced. We only had to face the bandits Zhang, Japan, and Tsarist Russia, and the pressure would be greatly reduced.

Liu San said with a puzzled face.

"why?"

"There will be major events next year, which will greatly reduce the pressure on us to conquer Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces.

Even by the way, Fengtian Province and Inner Mongolia can be brought down.

Let Li Tian concentrate on military training, and there will be enough space for him to hire him in the future. "

"Yes, helper."

Zhang Chenxing became serious and asked.

"How is the situation in Qingdao now?"

"The German army and the Japanese army have already fought."

On China's territory, it has become a battlefield for Germany and Japan, which is a shame.

In this regard, he was powerless and had to say he was aggrieved.

With his current strength, if he is willing to send troops, it should be no problem to take down Huaxia, but he will lose a rare opportunity for development.

He has great expectations for the First World War, and has planned for it for more than two years. If it is interrupted, the loss will be too great.

How can we get the best of both worlds without interrupting the plan and being able to intervene in the Qingdao War?
