I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

In addition, the Liziba and Lianghui Temple garrisons have all been completed and are able to perform guarding tasks. The horse-riding passage on the Jingu Rock cliff has been opened, and the horse-riding passage along the river from Wuying to Linshui is completely connected. In this way, you can ride directly from Baizhang along the Donghe River to Nanzheng Demi Cang Road, and you can also ride from Liziba to Maoheba to Ningqiang. The connection of the two roads to Hanzhong has greatly enhanced the transportation capacity of the four districts of Beishan, and the number of business travelers and back-foot passengers has doubled. Transportation is the lifeline of development. All projects must be completed as planned, and completion can only be advanced, not delayed, Du Chenyu wrote a comment.

Later, I looked at the reports on population, taxes, grain, and land, and found that the overall situation was better than expected. I glanced through them and selected the important ones for comments.

However, there has always been a problem that has been bothering him. At present, the Baizhang processing and production base lacks mechanized production. The problem of grenade fuses cannot be solved, bullets cannot be produced, yellow explosives cannot be produced, and black powder is of poor power. It can only simply repair rifles, weave and process by hand. Therefore, Du Chenyu decided to go to the Baizhang base immediately to solve some mechanical problems and strive to have a certain survival ability when the great era and chaos come next year and the year after. The mountainous area in northern Sichuan is in the mixed fighting area between the Beiyang Army and the internal warlords of Sichuan. The two sides come and go, and they will be wiped out if they are not careful.

After staying in Wuyin for a few days, I took Sister Xiaowan for a stroll and inspected the construction in the surrounding areas. Now many families are using their spare time to tear down their thatched houses and start building adobe houses. The change of houses is a concrete manifestation of the people gradually achieving food and clothing. Only after hunger is solved can they feel the warmth and cold. Farmland, water conservancy and transportation have all improved. The three-month winter is the best time for infrastructure construction. He did not expand rapidly. What he was waiting for was to establish a solid foundation and cultivate sufficient talents.

In early December, the last month of 12, he had some free time to read the newspaper and noticed that the "Sarajevo Incident" had already occurred in Europe in June of this year. A Serbian youth ignited the fuse of the First World War, causing the Allies and the Central Powers to fight all over the world. In China, President Yuan Shikai won the Second Revolution and is now preparing to move up to the throne. Although Hu Jingyi, the governor of Sichuan, supported Yuan, he, like Yin Changheng, was born in the military department and was not from the Beiyang lineage. In order to strengthen control over Sichuan and deal with the disobedient southwestern warlords, President Yuan Shikai transferred Hu Jingyi to Beijing to be unemployed and replaced him with Chen Huan, a confidant of the Beiyang, as the governor of Sichuan. At the same time, he transferred three brigades from the Beiyang Army's 1914th Mixed Brigade, Wu Xiangzhen's 6th Mixed Brigade, and Feng Yuxiang's th Mixed Brigade to Sichuan.

After Chen Huan took office, he reduced the previous five divisions of the Sichuan Army to two divisions and two mixed brigades. He strengthened the Beiyang Faction's control over Sichuan by reducing the power of the vassal states and placing his cronies in positions of power. The commanders of the First Division were Zhou Jun, the Second Division was Liu Cunhou, the commander of the First Mixed Brigade was Huang Huju, and the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade was Zhong Tidao.

The area currently stationed in the northeast of Jialing Road is under the jurisdiction of Liu Cunhou's Second Division. As one of the typical warlords who collected taxes during the Republic of China for 60 years, as soon as he took office, as expected, the tax documents and collection teams had arrived in advance before he even took office.

On December 12, Du Chenyu set out for Baizhang with the guard team. Now most of the areas along the way have been repaired. A road about one meter wide that can be used to lead horses has been opened on the Baishiyan cliff in the Maliuba area. The time to Baizhang has been shortened by 5 hours. They stayed in Lianghui Temple for one night and listened to Zhang Yongsheng's report on social security, land reform, and wasteland reclamation, with an emphasis on the construction of the militia reserve. A garrison of more than 2 people has now been formed.

We arrived at Baizhang on the 6th. After half a year of recovery, the trauma caused by the summer war was no longer visible. The soil of the farmland that had been bombarded by artillery fire was loose and fertile, and the wheat seedlings planted again were particularly lush.

Due to a large amount of capital investment in the second half of the year, the scale of the base factory has expanded by one third. Two looms and one spinning machine were introduced from Chongqing. It was officially put into production last month. The output soared instantly. The factory can produce more than 1 meters of yarn and cloth a day at full capacity. It is just that due to technical and raw material problems, the output is less than half. However, the output has also increased hundreds of times. Therefore, a large number of female textile workers have begun to transform into female garment and shoe workers, officially opening the first modern industry in northern Sichuan.

In addition, the gun repair factory, ironware processing factory, rice and flour processing factory, lime paper factory and brick factory have all started production.

"Which bases can realize profits now?" Du Chenyu asked Hu Laowu beside him.

"Mr. Chenyu, these are basically just in operation and production. It's just the ironware, textile, brick factory, and pig iron factory that are selling to the outside world. Last month, they made a profit of 3000 oceans. It is estimated that the profit will at least double every month next year, because prices have skyrocketed in the second half of the year, especially the production price has doubled," he said.

"Good, very good. Prices are rising because there are wars everywhere in the world. Prices will continue to rise in the future," said Du Chenyu.

"I heard Mr. Shen talk about this when he was studying or reading newspapers at night. England and Germany are at war. Mr. Chenyu really knows everything," he said, touching his head, and finally flattered him.

"Well, I have another thing to report to you. We have been storing tung oil, sugar, and pig bristles in the past few years. The price has increased four or five times this year, especially sugar, which has increased more than ten times. If we sell it now, we can make a lot of money," Hu continued, with a look of joy on his face.

"Great, great, how much is stored now?" he asked.

"I did a preliminary statistics last month. We have several warehouses in Wuyin, Banqiao and Bazhong areas storing more than 500 dan of tung oil. The current price is 3000 oceans. The storage capacity of tung oil has reached 20 catties. We have almost purchased all the tung oil in several nearby counties, but they have been squeezed into barrels and stored in the past few years. The annual tung oil production difference between Linshui and Wuyin reaches more than 2.5 catties. Thanks to your full efforts to develop tung oil trees, Mr. Chenyu, the output has increased rapidly. The tung oil and tung oil in the warehouse are now worth about 3 oceans. There is not much white sugar in stock, but more brown sugar, but the purchase time is relatively short. Now there are about 4 to large stocks, but the price changes very quickly." He basically described the current inventory in one breath.

"If the price war for these materials does not stop, the prices will continue to rise, especially sugar, whose value will be almost the same as gold. So if you are short of funds, you should continue to stock up for the time being," said Du Chenyu.

These goods, which are currently their most valuable batch, were also the ones they traveled through time to enjoy the first dividend of foreknowledge. They have hardly enjoyed any benefits brought by time travel, except for some knowledge. Everything has been developing slowly. Compared with the male protagonists in the novels of their previous life, who had the ability to turn the world upside down and developed at a rapid pace, he sometimes felt that he was a failed time traveler. It took him 6 years to become a small landlord living in the mountains. He was not as good as Liu Xiang who has become the strongest warlord in Sichuan in more than 10 years.

"Mr. Chenyu, I have a suggestion for you. The purchase of these materials in the past few years has caused dissatisfaction among many people. Especially in warehouses outside the city, people often make trouble and it always feels unsafe," Chen Laowu said solemnly, pulling me back from my thoughts.
