Beiyang reactionaries

Jiang Hongyu nodded, and said: "Brother Pei Zhi (Li Heyang), I just said that we are about to set up a property management department in Sichuan Province. For public-private joint venture companies like yours, we will not participate in the operation, but only supervise finance."

Li Heyang was thinking in his mind.

Li Heyang is also a veteran of the Tongmenghui, and has always supported the Sichuan Revolution.Even during the War to Protect the Country, Li Heyang would rather destroy his two ships than help the Beiyang Army transport troops.

But Li Heyang is also a businessman.

Although he supported the War to Protect the Nation, the War to Protect the Nation ended after all, and Sichuan entered Duan Xun's era.His Li family still needs to survive in Chongqing and has a huge industry in Sichuan, so it is impossible for him to directly confront Duan Xun.So Li Heyang is more cautious, neither willing to get too close to Duan Xun, but also unwilling to offend Duan Xun.

But now Jiang Hongyu's proposal moved him very much.

The Chongqing municipal government beat Liu Peilie this time. Liu Peilie occupies a very good position in Chongqing and owns many ships and cargo ships.It is very strong in Chongqing.If he can annex his industry, the development of Chuanjiang Steamship Company can be said to be rapid.

Even the Chuanjiang Steamship Company has become one of the largest companies on the Yangtze River.

"Brother Pei, recently the provincial government is discussing the construction of a railway around Chongqing. Once successful, the coal mines in Chongqing will be transported to the wharf by railway. You should be able to imagine how much cargo throughput will be."

Chongqing, the terrain is not good.

We discussed railway construction several times, but there was no money, no technology, and the Sichuan government was busy with internal strife every day, and had no energy to build a railway in Chongqing.As a result, the current transportation of coal in Chongqing is very difficult.Each person carries dozens of kilograms of coal on his back, and has to walk dozens of miles before it can be sent to the riverside.

But now that Duan Xun came to Sichuan, he began to study this.

In fact, there is not much to build, just a short railway.But as long as such a short-distance railway is built, it will definitely stimulate the development of Chongqing's coal mining industry.Duan Xun hopes to use the coal industry to stimulate the economic development around Chongqing and stimulate the development of Chongqing's freight transportation.

It's all money.

"And brother Pei Zhi, the government will have a large amount of freight business, and it will be handed over to this company at that time."

Heavy chips.

With the support of the Sichuan provincial government, the Li family's Chuanjiang Steamship Company can become the largest company in the entire Yangtze River.So Li Heyang finally nodded and said: "Okay, Mayor Jiang. I will send someone here to do the calculations. I hope Mayor Jiang will also send someone over to work with us to calculate and calculate the assets we each need to invest, and to evaluate it. The fixed assets of both parties. Then cooperate to establish a Chuanjiang shipping company.”

"Row."

Jiang Hongyu nodded.

Now the Yangtze River Shipping is making a lot of money, not ordinary money.Especially because of the European War, many foreign companies that originally occupied the Yangtze River shipping industry withdrew, giving Chinese companies huge opportunities.

This is a good opportunity.

Cooperation.

Cooperating with rich Chongqing businessmen like the Li family also tied them to the current new Sichuan government.The Li family in Chongqing has huge connections in the political and military circles in Sichuan.Binding the Li family to Duan Xun's boat can appease many people in Chongqing's business community.

Of course, there is another point that Duan Xun hopes to use the Li family to completely control the Yangtze River Shipping.It is not hoped that foreign merchant ships will control the Yangtze River again in the future.

79 rectification

The army, the police, taxes, education, the list goes on and on.

Duan Xun's body was exhausted too.Sichuan is his home base, and Duan Xun must manage it well.In the future, Duan Xun still wants to use Sichuan to attack the position of the president.Therefore, no matter how tired and difficult it is, Duan Xun has to do it himself.

But there are some things that cannot be done well by oneself.

After all, it was the first time for Duan Xun to serve as the governor of a province or the governor of a province, and he had no experience in this field, so many things were in a hurry.Just sorting out the Sichuan government system and sorting out the Sichuan officialdom is already very tiring.

Not to mention Sichuan's finances, Sichuan's agriculture, these things can be done in a short while.

"Mr. Wang, I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I'm waiting for you."

Duan Xun held Wang Yongjiang's hand tightly, feeling very excited.

Wang Yongjiang.

For Wang Yongjiang, Duan Xun really misses him all the time.

Because too tired.

Not only Duan Xun was tired, but the people under Duan Xun were also tired.Everyone is so busy that they don't touch the ground.After all, Duan Xun is an outsider, so it is not so easy to deal with these Sichuan natives.

If it weren't for Duan Xun's control of the army, and the help of great talents like Yang Wei, Duan Xun would have cried a long time ago.

Therefore, long before entering Chengdu, Duan Xun had sent a telegram to Western Henan asking Wang Yongjiang to enter Sichuan.Dan Maoxin, Bie Tingfang, and Duan Kan were given the task of sorting out the industries in Western Henan.Therefore, Wang Yongjiang was the first to enter Sichuan with Duan Xun's family.When he heard the news that they had entered Chengdu, compared to his wife and children, Duan Xun came to see Wang Yongjiang immediately.

Wang Yongjiang is Duan Xun's right-hand man.

With Wang Yongjiang, Duan Xun's current work can be cut in half immediately, and the government's work will soon be on the right track, and the efficiency is estimated to be increased several times.In terms of managing the government and managing finances, Duan Xun is not as good as Wang Yongjiang and other geniuses.

"General."

Wang Yongjiang was moved.

As a traditional scholar, Duan Xun attaches so much importance to himself, the first time he doesn't go to see his family, but to come here, this kind of attention moved Wang Yongjiang very much.You treat me like a gentleman of the country, how can I fail you.

"Mr. Wang, sit down. You must be tired from the journey."

"A bit."

Wang Yongjiang nodded and said: "I just read in the book that the road of Shu is more difficult than going to the blue sky. This time I can understand it. However, Sichuan has been a land of abundance since ancient times. Sichuan has the best soil. Sichuan still has a population of nearly 5000 million. It can feed hundreds of thousands of troops. General, this is the place to do big things."

"Haha, Mr. Wang also understands me."

Duan Xun was happy.

Yes.

Although Sichuan is a province in the southwest, the traffic is closed, and the economy is not as good as the coastal provinces, but it is a very important province.Sichuan has the Sichuan Basin and has been a land of abundance since ancient times.Although it is not comparable to the Jiangnan region and the southeast region, Sichuan does not lack food, and it is a central province in the southwest.

Sichuan is not considered rich, but it is not short of money.

Sichuan has the famous Sichuan salt, and the entire southwest and central provinces are inseparable from Sichuan salt.And relying on the Yangtze River, with the core city of Chongqing, the government is not short of money to develop well.More importantly, Sichuan is a large province with a population of nearly 5000 million.

In addition, Sichuan also has its own arsenal.

If it is well managed, it is nothing to raise a hundred thousand soldiers, even a few hundred thousand is no problem.This is really a good place to make a fortune.Not only can you make a fortune, but the location is also very good.It directly faces Yunnan and Guangxi to the south, the two lakes to the east, and Gansu and Shaanxi to the north.

Moreover, Sichuan can take the initiative to attack, but it is very difficult for other provinces to enter Sichuan.This is a typical province that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.As long as Duan Xun is a turtle with a shrunken head and stays in Sichuan, it will be extremely difficult for the surrounding provinces to attack Sichuan.

"Mr. Wang, the current financial situation in Sichuan is extremely corrupt. Although I am sitting in my current position, I have not been able to unify Sichuan's finances. Fortunately, I am now in control of Sichuan Salt, the government is still able to operate, and there is no shortage of military expenditures. But it is annoying. Unfortunately, Chongqing Customs is in the hands of the British."

"I did some homework before I came."

Wang Yongjiang nodded.

Then he took out something and said to Duan Xun: "General, these are some solutions I thought of along the way. General, it is easy and easy to unify the finances, but it is not that simple to sort it out completely. I After carefully studying the situation in Sichuan, Sichuan currently lacks a bank."

"bank?"
