Beiyang reactionaries

Representatives from Asia Fuel Oil Company also came, but Tang Shizun was not angry, and pushed them all out with a smile on his face.Tang Shizun didn't give them face, they had absolutely nothing to do.

Therefore, they can only put pressure on Duan Xun through the people above.

Duan Xun directly stated that he had something to do, and he did not see them, and handed it over to Yang Wei.Yang Wei is a smelly, hard-tempered person.Everyone in Sichuan knows this.

After the Revolution of [-], Yang Wei served as the head of the Sichuan Police Department and had contact with these foreigners.At that time, Yang Wei did not give these foreigners face several times.This time too.

Therefore, these people also hit a wall with Yang Wei.

Liu Peilie has been detained at the Chongqing Police Station for almost a week.People from all walks of life in Chongqing are paying attention to this matter.Because Liu Peilie is famous in Chongqing.Relying on the British to call the wind and rain in Chongqing.

In a short period of time, more than one million assets have been accumulated.

He monopolized the kerosene business in the entire Sichuan, and even relied on Chongqing, an important city in the southwest, to monopolize most of the kerosene business in the southwest region.And occupy the best wharf in Chongqing, there are many cargo ships and ships.Everyone has been calling Liu Peilie behind his back as a fake foreign devil, but many people are envious of Liu Peilie's ability to call the shots in Chongqing, and no one dares to offend him.

But such a character has been in the police station for a week and cannot come out.The British Consul and the Asia Petroleum Company even came up to plead to no avail.

Admiringly.

All forces in Chongqing are very afraid of the Chongqing Police Department at this time.There was also Tang Shizun who was usually smiling, and everyone was even more frightened.After all, Tang Shizun and even Liu Peilie are too daring.

Before, everyone underestimated Tang Shizun, thinking that he was harmless to humans and animals.But this made everyone understand that Tang Shizun was a laughing tiger.

…………

Because of Liu Peilie's matter, after Tang Shizun couldn't get a result here, people from all sides came to Jiang Hongyu one after another.However, Jiang Hongyu was always in the way, and pushed everything to Yang Wei, who was above him.He told the person that he couldn't control Tang Shizun.If you want to find him, you can find Yang Wei, the director of the Sichuan Police Department.

For the Police Department, the arrest of Liu Peilie is a big deal, because this matter involves the success or failure of the anti-drug campaign below.But for Jiang Hongyu, this is not the point.At present, Jiang Hongyu is more concerned about how to stabilize Chongqing, how to build Chongqing, and how to build the eastern Sichuan region.

Therefore, Jiang Hongyu did not intervene in this matter at all, and focused all his energy on the establishment of Chongqing Municipal Government.

Chongqing Municipal Government.

Jiang Hongyu met several celebrities in Chongqing at the municipal government.

Song Yuren, Li Zhanyang, Li Heyang, and Xiang Chu are all famous people in Chongqing.Jiang Hongyu was very polite to them and politely invited them to sit down.

"Several people, I invited a few people here for the future development of Chongqing. Fulao (Song Yuren Daofu), I recently checked some information. After the opening of Chongqing, the British took control of our Chongqing Customs, and the French signed the 'Protection of Wealth, Fu'an' The company contracted', won the right to mine coal in Chongqing; asked for the Zhenwushan and Laojunshan coal mines in Chongqing. British businessman Li Dele coerced and lured the government for approval, and obtained the right to mine coal and iron mines in Jiangbeiting for 50 years."

chongqing.

There are many coal mines, or in other words, there are many coal fields, and there are very rich coal reserves.

Because of Chongqing's special geographical location, it has been raining for many years to wash the surface, causing coal to be exposed in many places in Chongqing.Later, the local people discovered that these black things could be used as fuel.Therefore, the history of coal mining in Chongqing is very long.

With the opening of Chongqing as a port in the late Qing Dynasty, businessmen from Britain and France also discovered the coal fields in Chongqing.When we started to invest and build a factory in Chongqing, we were digging coal.In terms of robbing resources, foreigners are indeed very active and powerful.Compared with China, it is much slower.Before the Chinese government realized the power of resources, foreign businessmen had already begun to plunder China's resources.

"Fu Lao, these coal mines around Chongqing now have a daily production capacity of several hundred tons. If it weren't for the poor traffic in Chongqing, I don't think it would be a problem for them to even have a daily output of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons. This is all in our country The coal we have is our Sichuan coal. It was handed over to foreigners in vain like this. It is very sad, really sad."

When Jiang Hongyu said it, the expressions of several people present were not good.

In fact, compared to Jiang Hongyu, they were more uncomfortable.No matter how you say it, Jiang Hongyu is not from Sichuan, so he can't feel the thoughts of these Chongqing locals.These Chongqing celebrities watched foreigners poach Chongqing's coal like this, and they were always simmering in their hearts.

Now that Jiang Hongyu said that, of course they also felt uncomfortable.

But to put it bluntly, the coal output here in Chongqing has been unable to increase, and the daily output has remained at this figure since it reached a few hundred tons.This is not because the coal in Chongqing is difficult to dig. Compared with the coal in Chongqing, it is easier to dig.However, the traffic in Chongqing is very poor, and the coal cannot be transported out after digging.

All people carry coal on their backs and use manpower to transport the coal.

This most primitive method of transportation made it impossible to transport the coal after it was dug out.Since it cannot be transported out, the output of the coal mine will naturally not increase.This is also a blessing among misfortunes.Otherwise, the British and French businessmen will dig coal, and it is not impossible to produce tens of thousands of tons of coal per day.

Jiang Hongyu continued: "I went to Chengdu for a meeting this time, and the governor has issued a document. That is, from now on, Sichuan will no longer approve any form of mining authorization except for what has been promised before. This includes foreigners, as well as our Chinese businessmen. From this moment on, the governments of various places in Sichuan are not allowed to issue such authorization letters. From now on, it is against the law for anyone to mine without permission. Mining authorization must be obtained from the provincial government Agreed. Letters of authorization issued by local governments without authorization are invalid.”

mining.

Sichuan still has a lot of resources.In order to avoid the loss of resources, Duan Xun also wants to use these things to make money, so how could it be possible for private individuals to mine at will.Including those foreign businessmen.

So it's straight forward.

Nobody even thinks about mining.Except for those signed and agreed by myself.

"You can tell me what opinions you have. I will report your opinions to the provincial government."

"Prohibiting foreigners from exploiting our resources is what we have been pursuing for many years. If the government can really guarantee that we will never sell our mining rights to foreign countries, we are of course happy to see it."

Song Yuren spoke.

Song Yuren is 59 years old this year and has a high status in Sichuan.I think he went to Europe as an envoy to catch up with the Sino-Japanese War.The Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-] was very difficult for China, whether it was land or sea, it was losing ground.Therefore, Song Yuren borrowed money to buy ships as an ambassador in Europe, and even hired European and European veterans, and then took them to prepare to participate in the Sino-Japanese War.At that time, Song Yuren's idea was to take this navy to attack Japan.

Don't underestimate the mercenary navy organized by Song Yuren.Because the warships and mercenaries he organized were not much worse than the Japanese navy at that time in terms of strength.Song Yuren was very ambitious at the time, and wanted to help the court win this battle.

But it was a public wrath.

Everyone from Cixi to Li Hongzhang was furious, thinking that Song Yuren was causing trouble for nothing, and almost beheaded him.If it weren't for his great reputation, he would have died because of that incident.Song Yuren was the leader of the gentry in Sichuan, especially in Chongqing.

"Rejuvenation, in order not to lose our minerals in Sichuan. The provincial government plans to establish the Sichuan Provincial Mining Bureau. From now on, all minerals in Sichuan Province will be under the management of the Mining Bureau. Before I came, the governor asked me to ask you, would you be willing to serve as I am the director of the Sichuan Mining Bureau."

Yes.

Duan Xun came to Sichuan to really rule Sichuan, based on Sichuan.Therefore, Duan Xun will use all the people that Sichuan can mobilize.Of course Duan Xun would use people like Song Yuren.

In fact, Duan Xun likes people like Song Yuren more and is more willing to use them.

Famous and ethical, although somewhat pedantic, he is definitely a gentleman.He may not like you, and sometimes he will not give you face in person.But a person like him would never slow down at work or intentionally sabotage just because he didn't like Duan Xun.Of course, another important reason is that Song Yuren is not young anymore.Even if you have great power in your hand, you won't be able to hold it for a few days.Instead, Duan Xun can be given some transition time.

"Me? I'm old and I don't want to move around anymore."

Jiang Hongyu nodded, understanding Song Yuren.In this day and age, 59 years old is already a very old age.But Jiang Hongyu still said: "Fu Lao, if we want to develop in Sichuan, we must develop minerals. If we don't develop minerals, then it will be easy for foreigners to take them away. Fu Lao, you are a celebrity in my Sichuan. You have run a mine. I understand the reason behind this. The governor sincerely invites you to come out of the mountain and give me some suggestions for the development of Sichuan's mining industry."

Song Yuren is one of the famous "five elders and seven sages" in Sichuan.In fact, Duan Xun didn't pay much attention to the other members of the "Five Elders and Seven Sages", including those with high reputation in Sichuan.

Because those people study Chinese studies and Confucianism every day, and usually write and write poems.To be honest, those people's calligraphy, those people's national studies attainments are very high.But now China is in a precarious situation, even to the point of being bullied by others, but these people have leisure time to chat with others every day, study calligraphy and Chinese studies every day, and they can be said to be happy and carefree.

Of course everyone has their own pursuit.

There is no right or wrong here.Duan Xun is not qualified to criticize their lives, saying that you are wrong.Because maybe they will also despise Duan Xun, thinking that Duan Xun is too self-interested.

But from Duan Xun's standpoint, these people are typical useless scholars.You can neither contribute to the society nor spread new knowledge, that is, you can have some money to entertain yourself.

Therefore, although many people suggested to Duan Xun that Duan Xun use these people with high reputation in Sichuan to join government agencies, Duan Xun did not agree to any of them.Since these people don't care about being officials and like the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, Duan Xun has no intention of forcing them to become officials.Among the "five elders and seven sages" in Sichuan, the only one Duan Xun likes is this Song Yuren.

Ability, ambition, knowledge, and integrity.Let him manage the Mining Bureau and give him the right to approve.At that time, when foreigners come, they will all be pushed to him.

"This……"

Song Yuren has political ambitions.

Back then, Song Yuren was also very ambitious, but he returned to Sichuan in desperation to start businesses, education, and so on.Now that he had the opportunity to come out again, Song Yuren was hesitant.Finally nodded and said: "I want to meet Governor Duan first, and see what he thinks about the development of the mining industry."
