Even if Duan Xun doesn't know the real price inside, he also knows that China's export price must be far lower than the foreign market price.It is estimated that there will be several times the difference.And those foreign firms that act as intermediary businessmen take advantage of the narrow vision of Chinese businessmen and have no way to directly contact foreign businessmen, so they make a lot of money in the middle.

Damn, if you make me anxious, I will directly find foreign businessmen, or I will act as a comprador myself and cooperate with foreigners to open foreign firms.

It is estimated that those foreign businessmen also dislike these intermediary firms very much.It's just that they are the same, not as good as those foreign firms who understand China's affairs.This information gap has caused these foreign firms to be so unscrupulous.

"Wanxian, Wanxian. Since the British want to open a customs sub-customs in Wanxian, Wanxian will definitely become a very important trading port. Then it is not bad to take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously develop Wanxian."

Wan County.

Duan Xun is not only interested in Wanxian's economic value, but also Wanxian's location in a major traffic artery.To the east is Hubei, to the north is Shaanxi, and it is not even far from Hunan and Guizhou.Once something happens in the future, Wan County will be important.

"Take out Wanxian alone and set up a Wanxian special zone."

"Take out Wanxian alone and set up a Wanxian special zone."

Duan Xun hates the British, hates them controlling the current Chongqing Customs, and a large number of tariffs fall into their pockets.But Duan Xun knew that as long as the British set up a branch of Chongqing Customs in Wanxian, the development of Wanxian could be expected, and it was certain that Wanxian would prosper.At that time, a large number of Sichuan native products will be exported through Wanxian, which will greatly develop Wanxian's economy and even radiate the surrounding areas of Wanxian.

There will be huge economic benefits here.

As long as Wanxian begins to prosper, and as long as Wanxian becomes a trading center for Sichuan native products, it will drive the development of various industries around Wanxian.Wanxian's transportation needs to be developed, Wanxian's market must be developed, Wanxian's shipping industry will be developed, and Wanxian's consumption will also be developed.The development of these industries will also drive the development of timber, cement, and coal mining industries.At that time, there will be countless major commercial firms investing in Wan County.Wanxian will become a cornucopia in a short time.

Therefore, Duan Xun has to make arrangements before the British do it.

Wan County must develop in its own hands, and Wan County's economic interests must be shared, and the biggest piece of the cake must be shared.

"Regularize the government agencies in Wanxian, and normalize all kinds of transactions in Wanxian. Wanxian does not allow other forces to intervene. Brother Xinye (Yang Wei), what is the current situation in Wanxian? Tell me about the various forces in Wanxian ?”

If it weren't for the British, Duan Xun really didn't know the specific situation in Wan County.

According to Duan Xun's meaning, use one to two years to completely control the entire Sichuan.After all, Wan County is more important. Originally, according to Duan Xun's plan, within this year, especially after the completion of the army reorganization, troops will be stationed in Wan County to control Wan County and plan Wan County.

But now that the British suddenly want to open a sub-pass in Wanxian, Duan Xun must of course speed up his plan.But even though he decided to compete with the British for time, Duan Xun still needs to know the situation in Wan County.Yang Wei has been in Sichuan for many years, and he was also in the Sichuan Police Department before, so he is more familiar with many places in Sichuan than Duan Xun.

"Because as early as the 28th year of Guangxu (1902), Wanxian was a treaty port, so this place is relatively richer than many other counties in Sichuan. However, it is precisely because this is a treaty port that it is inevitable that good and bad people are mixed. Yes. But this is only a transfer station, so although there are many foreign firms of British and French merchants, they cannot be compared with Chongqing Wharf. When statistics were collected in the second year of the Republic of China, there seemed to be [-] foreign firms in Wan County. During the two years of the European War The outbreak of the outbreak, it is estimated that the freight in Wanxian is more busy, and there may be more foreign firms. But compared with these foreign firms, I have more businessmen in Sichuan. And many docks are controlled by the local Paoge organization. In the past two years, the specific I am not very clear about the situation. However, once the customs clearance is opened here, a large number of British and French businessmen will come here, and the competition for the wharf will be very fierce."

"It still looks complicated."

Duan Xun has not been in control of Sichuan for a long time, and has no substantial control over Wanxian.Not only Wanxian, but many border areas in Sichuan, Duan Xun was unable to effectively control.

This is also impossible.

Or the current China is the same.Even decades later.Most of those local warlords only control some places that can be controlled, mainly some big cities.In many places, rural areas and border areas cannot be controlled at all, because their governments do not have such control and mobilization capabilities.Or they don't care about the barren countryside.For these warlords, the countryside is basically useless except for food delivery, so these places are completely free-range.As long as food is collected for them on time, they don't care how those towns and villages are managed or who manages them.Compared with these towns and villages, cities are the main body of these warlords' taxes.Therefore, in the warlord war of the Republic of China, as long as they failed in the competition for the city, the warlord would announce his resignation.Because their dominion is in the cities, not in the country.

If you want to control these villages, you need the government to send a large number of workers into the villages.

In fact, Duan Xun is not much different from them at present.It's just that Duan Xun is now working hard to develop his influence in towns and villages, and to take back all these grassroots powers.However, many warlords in the Republic of China did not have such an idea.

"And what about the local government agencies?"

Although Duan Xun did not actually control Wan County, and there are some other small places, but those places also have government agencies.Although most of the so-called government agencies are organized by the local factions themselves, and not government officials dispatched by the provincial government, there are still government agencies in name.

"According to the current intelligence, the government agencies here basically have no effect. At present, there is a local militia group of 300 people in Wanxian County, but the local order and docks in Wanxian County seem to be managed by some paoges. The Wanxian government does not Can't interfere."

Duan Xun sighed after listening to Yang Wei's words.

Brother Pao.

It is too powerful.Duan Xun cracked down on the Gelaohui so fiercely in Chengdu and Chongqing, but in counties outside the big cities, the Paoge organization still overshadows the sky with one hand, and the local government has absolutely nothing to do with them.

"It seems that the army needs to be stationed to deter the powerful local factions."

Duan Xun thought for a while and said, "Now Wan Xuancai's Fourth Division of the Frontier Defense Army has the fastest reorganization speed and is already at full strength. In this case, let Wan Xuancai take the Fourth Division to station in Kuizhou."

The elder brother will be strong in the locality, that's because there is no more powerful force to deal with them.Duan Xun thought for a while. If he wanted to control Wanxian before the British, Wanxian local power faction, and the Gelaohui reacted, he could only let the army go out.Only when the army is stationed directly around Wanxian can it effectively subdue the local power faction.

Moreover, Wanxian County is an important traffic artery, and a strong army must be stationed here.Only in this way, once something happens, this army can respond quickly and dispatch quickly.

Duan Xun thought about it and ordered Wan Xuancai's Fourth Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army.Although it is a newly formed unit, it has been five months until now, and the training of recruits has long been over.In addition to deploying some officers and veterans to him, even if the combat effectiveness is not as good as the first, second, and third divisions, it should not be a big problem to subdue a few older brothers.

"What do you two think should be the best way to build this special zone?"

After Duan Xun decided to send the Fourth Division, he asked Wang Yongjiang and Yang Wei for their opinions on how to build a special zone.

In fact, Duan Xun already has an idea, but if he has an idea, he still has an idea. At this time, he still needs to listen to other people's opinions.If you speak out your own thoughts, then Wang Yongjiang and Yang Wei will not be able to talk.

Yang Wei put his hand on the map around Wanxian, and said: "General, judging from the current situation, as long as Wanxian becomes a distribution center for goods in Sichuan, then Wanxian is likely to become the third place in Sichuan besides Chengdu and Chongqing. A central city. If we only use the current Wanxian as a special zone, I think it is still too small to play its role as a central city. So my idea is this. Since we want to set up a special zone in Wanxian, we will name it Wanxian Special Zone City, referred to as Wanxian City. Daliu Township, Sanjiu Town, and Shier Town are all included, and they are all under the leadership of Wanxian Special Zone City. Once this is the case, the area of ​​​​Wanxian Special Zone City will be the current Forty or fifty times that of Wanxian, it has become a regional central city second only to Chengdu and Chongqing."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Yang Wei's thinking is correct.The situation in Sichuan is different from that of some other provinces, and it is impossible to develop in an all-round way.In fact, not only Sichuan, but most provinces in China are currently developing like this. It is impossible to cover everything and develop together.It's just that Sichuan's geographical situation determines it, especially in Sichuan.

The most suitable development model is to build a central city in several regions and develop with this city as the center.

At present, Sichuan has Chengdu and Chongqing. Once Wanxian becomes the trade center of Sichuan native products, then Wanxian will easily become the central city in northern Sichuan, echoing Chongqing not far away.Even if it develops well, it will become a central city in western Hubei, northern Hunan, southern Shaanxi, and northern Sichuan.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a relatively large-scale Wanxian Special Economic Zone.

"Brother Xinye (Yang Wei), who do you think is more suitable to be in charge of this Wanxian special zone city?"

"But Maoxin."

"Brother Nugang (Dan Maoxin)?"

"Yes."

Yang Wei is a virtuous man who does not avoid relatives.He said directly: "General, when Yin Changheng served as the governor of Sichuan, Xiong Kewu led troops to station in Wan County for a period of time. At that time, Xiong Kewu gathered a lot of troops around Wan County, and many of them were local Pao brothers. Therefore, Xiong Kewu himself was in the east of Sichuan. The area is very famous, and Dan Maoxin and Xiong Kewu have always been close friends. In addition, Dan Maoxin once lived in Chongqing for a period of time, so everyone in the eastern Sichuan area has probably heard of Dan Maoxin's reputation. He sits in Wanwan County, plus the strength in hand, it is estimated that the forces of all parties will be restrained and it will be easier to carry out work. Also, Mao Xin is both civil and military, not only capable, but also experienced. He served as the chief of staff of the Shu Army in [-] and also I have served as the prefect of Chengdu, and I have a lot of experience in how to govern a place."

Duan Xun remained silent.

Yang Wei didn't say anything, just watched Duan Xun make a decision.Although Yang Wei recommended Dan Maoxin, he was not sure whether Duan Xun would accept it.Because since Xiong Kewu defected to Duan Xun, many generals in Xiong Kewu's department have been reused, and each of them has a high position.If Dan Maoxin is in charge of Wanxian's affairs, then many of Xiong Kewu's generals will be in high positions.

Duan Xun thought for a moment and said: "But Maoxin is indeed very suitable. But Maoxin has been busy these few months to relocate some properties I left in Western Henan, and the school is almost the same. The mayor of the Wanxian Special Zone City is fully responsible for the work of the Wanxian Special Zone City."

In fact, Duan Xun had thought about it a long time ago, but Mao Xin.

For now, Dan Maoxin is indeed the most suitable.Now that even Yang Wei thinks that Dan Maoxin is suitable, Duan Xun will follow suit and appoint Dan Maoxin to be in charge.Anyway, the troops stationed in Wan County are Wan Xuancai's troops. Most of the officers here are graduates from the teaching brigade, and many officers are either from the People's Party or affiliated organizations of the People's Party.As long as there are no problems in the army, Duan Xun will not worry about Dan Maoxin.

"Then who will be in charge of the police station in Wanxian Special Zone City?"

"Bie Tingfang is not bad."

Yang Wei immediately recommended someone to Duan Xun.

Although Yang Wei knew that Mao Xin was the most suitable, Yang Wei also had to consider a lot.Let Dan Maoxin play because he is indeed very suitable.In fact, Yang Wei, like Duan Xun, also has some fears.Afraid that Xiong Kewu is too powerful in Sichuan, so in such an important position as the police station, he must recommend Duan Xun's direct descendants.
