Chapter 78 Jiangdong Overlord's Saddle

Changlong Mountain, which is still more than ten miles away from the Yangtze River, is only an inconspicuous section of the hills in the south of the Yangtze River. The river breeze in the spring night is still a little chilly. Chen Moran and Xiao Yiren, who, climbed to the top of Changlong Mountain with a slightly chilly river breeze, climbed to the top of Changlong Mountain and looked around, you can see several hills in the south of the Yangtze River.

Standing on the top of Changlong Mountain, Chen Moran's eyes look in the direction of the Yangtze River. A hundred years later, this place should be a well-known steel city in the country. At this time, the area around Ma'anshan is just a desolate scene. Even the people here know is only "stone quarrying and bending to Hezhou".

Can I really build a big steel factory in this place? Even build a steel city here!

Somehow, after Liu Kun gave him the iron ore in the territory, Chen Moran was immersed in this illusory steel city. His expectations for him were even much higher than that of Pudong. The wealth generated by Pudong was far beyond the iron ore and iron factories, but even so, he couldn't help fantasizing about this. Steel City.

"Unpreceded, Hanyang Iron Factory, with its first scale in Asia and strong industrial spirit, was once regarded by the West as a symbol of China's awakening. It can be said that if it is expected, Hanyang's brand will be branded on this country for a long time. But from now on, perhaps in the future, our iron factory will be the symbol of China's awakening! Maybe this country will only be branded with our brand!"

Looking at the rolling Yangtze River, Chen Moran said with some heroic meaning. He understood why he wanted to run this iron factory, not only because it brought wealth, but also because it needed a lot of steel, whether it was Pudong development or running a car factory in the future, just because of a dream.

The dream that he has been avoiding, whether it is Pudong or the steel factory, from beginning to end, perhaps he constantly attracts people with magnificent blueprints like painting cakes to satisfy his hunger, so that the simple people of this era can work for themselves and willingly contribute their talents and wealth, but in his heart The reason why he did all this was that he could never look at everything around him insensitively.

Deep in his heart, Chen Moran is afraid of revolution, but he also looks forward to change. Only in this era will he know that this country and this land have suffered disasters and humiliation. Who can sit back and watch it?

Chen Moran has always used various reasons and excuses to excuses to explain himself. He even looked at everything around him as a guest, like watching a movie, but in the end, when the hair in front of the skull was shaved off and the pig tail symbolizing the slave was left, Chen Moran finally realized that he was in this era. Whether he wants to or not, he is no different from those insensitive compatriots who have been mocked by him.

The disaster and humiliation they suffered will not be spared by Chen Moran's short hair, a suit and living in the concession. In fact, in the concession and in the eyes of those foreigners, Chen Moran is nothing more than a "consecrated barbarian" with short hair and a dress.

In the past, Chen Moran disguised his blueprint as "the pursuit of wealth", but in fact?

"If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are poor, you will help the world!"

Do your best to do something!

He turned his head and looked at Chen Moran, who seemed to be thinking, but Xiao Yu's eyes changed.

"Yes, there is no good thing in the world!"

"Oh?"

"Yes, Lord Liu, you may be open-up, but he first granted our industrial company the right to develop in Pudong, the backing for our company, and also recommended you to be absent from the third-grade governor's mansion, and to send your Chen slitt's name to the court. Such a great thing has been unexpected!"

Xiao Qianliang frowned and looked at the Yangtze River in the distance. The river was reflected into a white rill under the moon, which looked a little bleak against the bright moon.

"We now allow these iron mines, coal mines and iron mills to you, and even cooperate with local officials from the governor's office. If you, Chen Moran, is the prince Baylor, you will never have any doubts, but you, Chen Moran, are just a rootless little citizen. At most, he is a little citizen with a huge amount of money in his pocket. It's so good that it's the end of the world, and when will it be your Chen's tch's turn.

With an awkward smile, Chen Moran knew that Xiao Yu's blunt words were telling the truth. In fact, in the past few days, he was worried and thinking about this problem, but he was puzzled.

"I don't know how much money you have in your pocket. Ten million taels, 20 million, even more expensive than the gentry! But your family has hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Your cripple is at most a fat sheep in the eyes of the government. That is, the group of wolf-like and tiger-like evil officials don't rush up and bite a few mouthfuls of meat from you fiercely. I'm afraid that your family will burn a lot of incense in your last life, but it's just that no one will rush up and bite you a few times, but also promise you such a good thing!"

Xiao Yuren shook his head and sighed softly. If it were someone else, he might say, "Your life is really good", but in this cripple, he couldn't say that kind of self-deception.

"I don't know, why don't I know?"

Chen Moran bent down and picked up an iron ore-like stone from the ground. There are exposed veins everywhere on Changlong Mountain. The iron ore reserves on Changlong Mountain alone can reach tens of millions of tons.

How can I have such a good life that people can put such wealth in their hands? If this life is really so good, how can there be the same experience at the beginning?

"In the past few days, I have been thinking about the reason why Lord Liu treated me so well!"

With a sigh, Chen Moran held the cold iron ore in his hand and looked at the white Yangtze River.

"Mingzhe told me that it was that Lord Liu was dissatisfied with the leader of foreign affairs in Hanyang Iron Factory, surpassing the glory of Lord Liu. If it had been a few years ago, Lord Liu might have invested in the factory by himself, but now after the Gengzi disaster, he has to pay at least hundreds of millions of taels of silver to foreigners. There is no money in the government, and Lord Liu He wants to fight for face, so he hopes to do what he wants to do with the silver in his silent pocket. If this steel mill, iron mine, and even Pudong Development Company can do it, Liu Kun can surpass Zhang Zhidong and become the leader of the foreign affairs of the Qing Dynasty.

"The world may be utilitarian, but this is by no means the reason for giving such a treasure mountain to you!"

Xiao Yuliang shook his head and said.

"This may be the reason, but for this reason, give such wealth to you, a squeal! I... don't believe it!"

"If you don't believe it, how can you believe it silently! But..."

With his left hand, he took out a copy of the text of the governor's mansion from his pocket. Chen Moran handed the text to Xiao Yuren, with a look on his face that he didn't believe.

"This is Liu Kun's text sent to the governor of Anhui. With this text, we can walk horizontally on the boundary of the two rivers, open mines and run factories. It can be said that there is nothing unfavorable. This kind treatment is to say that you don't believe people, but the truth is in front of us, and I can say anything!"

If he didn't know his identity, Chen Moran almost really thought that he was like He Kun, silently known because of the mole and the love of Qianlong, or that his father had saved Liu Kun's life, but he was just a hundred years later, and he had never had anything to do with Liu Kunyi, that is If you appreciate yourself, how can you give yourself this big peach?

"Silence, there is no cheapness in the world. Such a big bargain falls into our hands. I'm worried..."

Xiao Yiren frowned and didn't seem to want to go down, but he couldn't help but think about it. In the past few months, he had already identified Chen Moran and the industrial company, and he didn't want to see the industrial company fall into a trap.

"I'm worried that there is something here that we haven't been able to see through. At that time, I'm afraid that you and your industrial company are just wedding clothes for others! No, it may also end up in a situation of personal death. At that time, there will be no chance to regret.

Although the words were short and light, when the words came out, it added a little bit of piercing to Jiang Feng, who was already slodled. Xiao Yu's tough words made Chen Moran only feel that his whole body seemed to be colder, but he didn't know why, but he didn't feel a trace of fear.

"Wei Yang, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid? I'm not afraid of losing my head, but... If it really comes to that day, it's just a pity for you! You and I are different. You are the one who achieves things. I..."

He turned his head and looked at Chen Moran. There was no hypocrism on Xiao'sive face. As others said, the cripple was not crippled. He also knew that his heart was not only lame, but even bigger than anyone imagined. His dreams and ambitions were not just Pudong. If it's true that because of this iron mine, it will end up with a person's head landing, Xiao Yuren can't help but feel sorry for him!

"The person who achieves things!"

Chen Moran snorted coldly, suddenly threw out the iron ore in his hand, and then looked at the river in the distance, but suddenly felt a little heroic in his heart.

"Wei Yang, do you know what the mountain in front of you is called?"

The mountain shadow in front of his finger, Chen Moran asked.

"What mountain?"

"Ma'anshan!"

Quietly spit out a word, and Chen Moran looked directly at the mountain shadow in the scene.

"During the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, was trapped. He was defeated and retreated to Wujiang in He County. He asked the fisherman to cross his beloved horse to the other side. After that, he felt ashamed to see Jiangdong's father and killed himself. The black horse missed its master and rolled down. The saddle fell to the ground and turned into a mountain. This is Ma'anshan, that is, that mountain.

Iaring Xiao Qian's incomprehension, Chen Moran stepped forward a few steps and stared at the mountain.

"In the future, my steel factory will be called Ma'anshan. Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, will be in the saddle. If I, Chen Moran, can cross the world like the king of Chu. It is the conspiracy in this iron mine and iron factory, and what can I do!"

But Chen Moran, who was never willing to plot into a pawn, was unprecedented in his heart. He looked straight at Ma'anshan in the distance and seemed to see the overlord's saddle come back to life.

"This iron mine and iron factory is my good pupe. In just three or five years and five or six years, this place will never be as desolate as it is now. The Yangtze River will rise to a steel city far beyond the imagination of the world!"

He snorted coldly between his noses, and Chen Moran looked in the other direction. It was Jiang Ning.

"Now, no matter what kind of "great wealth" Liu Kun gave himself, or what evil intentions he hides, I won't ask him, even if he wears intestinal poison, he dares to eat it silently, the backbone of iron and the gallbladder made of steel! He, Liu Kunyi, may have other ideas, but this steel city is my courage! At that time, who wants my head! Humph!"

When he said this, Chen Moran didn't notice the surprise on Xiao Yu's face, but looked at the Yangtze River!

"Born as a hero, and death is also a ghost hero. Up to now, Xiang Yu has refused to cross Jiangdong. Today, I am in Jiangdong. I am the overlord who has passed Jiangdong and is waiting for the rise of the wind and clouds. At that time, he provoked me. Not to mention Liu Kunyi, he is the emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and I dare to lift it up!"

Xiao Yiren was really shocked by Chen Moran's rebellious words. He looked at Chen Moran standing on the top of the mountain with a crutch in his hand, all looking like swallowing mountains and rivers.

"Yes, do you know that your words are enough to kill your nine clans!"

"I haven't raised it. I'm alone. The revolutionary will of a bachelor is the most resolute. Have you ever heard of this? Silently, I don't care about the world. When it comes to care, I'm afraid it's just something with painstaking efforts. Whoever touches my things, I dare to twist his head!"

"You want to rebel!" Xiao Yuren said a cold sentence!

"He said that the official forced the people to rebel, so what if he did it!"

When he spoke, Chen Moran turned around, holding a crutch in his left hand, and forcing Xiao Yuliang with his eyes. As long as he didn't show any surprised look, he never killed people, and he didn't mind letting his hands stained with blood in order to protect himself!

Silence!

At this time, both of them were silent with their own thoughts, but their eyes looked at each other.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu has a tough lip.

"Yes, since I saw your braids, I pulled off the pig's tail!"

"Syah or later, I will not only tear off my pig's tail, but also tear off the pig's tails of all of us in China on that day, no matter whether he hangs behind his head or in his heart!"

When he spoke, Chen Moran pulled the braid hanging behind his head in front of him and looked at the pig's tail, which symbolized the slave. Chen Moran's eyes were cold. When he continued the braid, he also had a strange thing in his heart when he was humiliated. In addition to this braid, he really integrated him into this era. The most important thing was afraid was because of this. The humiliation of braids changed his mentality.

"The braid behind the melon seeds is easy to cut! Some people have braids in their hearts!"

"Humph!"

Xiao Yu's tough words made Chen Moran look back at him, and then his eyes were cold, but he said something.

"I can't untie it... I'll even untie my head with braids!"

Jiang Feng was cold and his words were cold. Xiao Yanren stared at Chen Moran. Although he was a little palpitated by his words, he suddenly laughed.

"Silence! If you really want to cut the Chinese pig's tail, you can do whatever you want to do with the power of the dog and horse!"

"That's a job to lose your head!"

Chen Muran reminded him coldly that it was just the worst plan.

"I'm never afraid that this head will fall off every day! Otherwise, I wouldn't have studied military affairs! What's more, he won't become a child of Hongmen in the United States. Even if you do business, it's not good for tenacity!"

Xiao Yuren nodded and shook his head. When he looked at Chen Moran's face, he didn't mean anything, "Do you know I'm not a revolutionary! I can't give you that dream!"

Looking at Xiao Yu's toughness, Chen Moran said indifferently that he was never a revolutionary, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. The reasons he wanted to do were different from others. Others had other people's dreams, but Chen Moran had his wishes. The businessman would never do business at a loss.

"My dream is very simple, only to expel the Tatars and strengthen the country! As for other toughness, I never ask for it!"

Xiao Yuren smiled. He was not a revolutionary. Otherwise, he would have been afraid that when he was in the United States, he would go to Sun Wen's door. What he studied in the United States was military and valued reality. Follow idealism, regardless of reality, it is not what he wants or what he wants!

After taking two steps forward, Chen Moran patted Xiao Qian's tough shoulder.

"That's good! If it really comes to that day, let's cut off the pig tail of our Chinese together, whether it's hanging behind his head or tied in his heart!"

"However, I used to sell myself to an industrial company, but now I work hard!"

After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.

"I can't kill you. I cherish my life! So do things silently and never do what you can't do!"

After laughing, Chen Moran affirmed that he said something.

"Then what are you going to do!"

Xiao Yu is curious. If Chen Moran, who is big-hearted and cherishes his life, really wants to cut the pig's tail, but he is ready to do it from there.

"I don't know yet!"

Facing Xiao Yan's question, Chen Moran shook his head and smiled at the same time. He really didn't know that he had that idea. To put it bluntly, it was also the official forcing the people to rebel. What he thought was very simple. He was just a fat sheep who did not have the ability to protect himself. If it went on like this, sooner or later, he would have to be eaten without even a bone dregs.

"Wei Yang, I didn't want to do it in the past, but now I have to think that before I came to Jiangning, I was just a billionaire who hid in the Concession, and now, there is no Liu Kun to send this great wealth to me, but once this iron factory runs, Pudong will flourish, and then..."

Chen Moran smiled helplessly. He was innocent and guilty. Maybe he really answered this sentence.

"The oncoming wolf, I'm sure they can swallow me and my industrial company alive! If I don't want to do anything now, I'm afraid that one day... I'll be tough, and I'm only afraid that at that time, I'm afraid that I can't even collect a corpse! What do you think I should do!"

"Self-protection!"

Xiao Yiren spit out three words, which is exactly what he wants to give to Chen Moran.

"Yes! Self-protect! What is the way to protect yourself? Moran, this man's temper is strange and hard-boned, and he is by no means silently happy, so!"

At this time, he pointed to the hill in front of him, with some color in his eyes.

"No matter what, I may be interested in this place, or I may be defeated here. From now on, I will fight. I have to see who can be defeated here! So everything starts from this. This place is our beginning!"

Xiao Yuren was silent for a while before he looked up at Chen Moran.

"Silence! I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"Tay!"

Xiao Yuren didn't say anything. He just pointed his hand to Chen Moran's body and smiled at the same time.
