Chapter 252 Shanxi Fushen 1

The world was shocked.

The great defeat of the Battle of Jinlan Bay not only made the French feel endlessly ashamed, but also made them completely angry.

Do Asian second-class nation-states like China dare to attack France?

Do you still need God in this world?

Is God still there?

The French scolded the political axe and the army and laughed at the incompetence of the French generals and soldiers. Clement-Falié, the leader of the opposition Radical Party, shouted crazily to raze the whole of China to the ground. French President Emilele Lube also quickly sent the French navy and the Russian navy to unite to prepare from the South Pacific. Entering the Japanese Sea, the army was sent through the Siberian Far East Railway to fight in Central Asia and the Northeast with Russia.

A large-scale plan for a three-million army offensive is taking shape!

The Allies are angry, and even the mainstream media and people of the three countries are shouting for the three million army offensive to raze China.

... After the Battle of Jinlan Bay, while the French were shouting crazily, Hu Chuyuan has sent nearly 200,000 army troops to Vietnam to carry out the final attack on the French army in Vietnam and Cambodia.

After the 19th Division captured Phnom Penh, Hu Chuyuan was finally relieved and began to transfer his energy to another major event that he really wanted to do a beautiful thing - the Shanxi Plan.

On this day, Hu Chuyuan sat down in the office of the Seniority Park and opened the International Herald on the table. The first thing he saw was the huge word "3 million army".

Seeing this slogan, Hu Chuyuan couldn't help laughing coldly.

He does not deny that it is not difficult for France and Russia to gather three million troops, or even six million troops. The problem is that such a large-scale supply only relies on a Far East railway... He is afraid that the French will die and die.

In the newspapers, reporters are lamenting that the Chinese are crazy and attacking France at such a time. Although they take advantage now, they will definitely pay a huge price in the future.

Even some French journalists are calculating that the total compensation to be paid by China in the end will not be less than 700 million pounds, and France can get half of it.

After reading the most important newspapers, Hu Chuyuan folded the newspapers and threw them aside. He raised his hand to pick up the phone, but Li Cunyi, who was in charge of the guard outside the door, suddenly shouted respectfully, "Madam, good morning."

Hu Chuyuan was slightly surprised and thought that Wu Shuzhen was coming, but when he looked up, he saw Pan Limei.

Time is always so ruthless. Pan Limei's youth has long passed, and she is no longer as lively and lovely as when she was young. She slowly changed into a cold and fragrant woman in the Prime Minister's mansion.

She likes to accompany Hu Chuyuan to participate in some public activities, but she is always so cold. Occasionally, there is an unfatal smile, which seems a little neglected and cold.

But no matter how she changes, Hu Chuyuan is still the one who loves her.

Seeing her coming in, Hu Chuyuan put down the phone he picked up and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to come to the study to see me today?"

Pan Limei smiled faintly, walked into the room to find a place to sit down, and said, "Sir, please find something to do for me. I'm stuck at home all day and night, so I'm a little unhappy. The children are also very big, and they are all in charge of the elder sister. I have nothing to do!"

"Oh?"

Hu Chuyuan thought that it was true that Wu Shuzhen was in charge of a lot of things. She even handed over the account books to her for safekeeping and verification. Pan Limei was much bored. Her surname became more and more remote. She hardly interacted with other officials and husbands, and was bored at home every day.

After marrying him, Pan Limei didn't get much, but lost too much.

Alas.

Thinking of this, Hu Chuyuan sighed with a little pain.

After a little thought, Hu Chuyuan and Pan Limei asked, "So what do you want to do?"

Pan Limei smiled and said, "What else can I do?" The big thing is that the elder sister is helping you, and the elder sister is also in charge of the family. You might as well give me some capital to let me go out and run some business. After my father returned to Fuzhou, he didn't run any decent possessions. He has always been idle and always depends on you for help. There are still two younger brothers at home. I think that if the business here is done well, they will definitely not care about Weixin and leave them to me in the future.

Hu Chuyuan nodded and thought it was okay, but he felt that what Pan Limei said was a little strange, and the distance between the two seemed to have become a little far away.

He turned to Pan Limei and asked, "What kind of business do you want to do?"

Pan Limei couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "What other business can I do, that is, run a textile factory. I haven't taken care of things over the years, and I don't know if it's someone else's opponent!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "If you really run a textile factory, there are not many people in Yanjing City who are your opponents. I'm still very confident about this. However, even I don't run the business myself. If you go out to do business again, it will have some impact on the problem. As for your father and my two brother-in-law, you don't have to worry. I will take good care of them. Well, I will pay a sum of money to set up a charity foundation, which is dedicated to saving female surnames, setting up women's education, and emancipating the idea of female surnames. Do you want to do it?

"Is that so?"

Pan Limei is obviously a little unsatisfactory. She wants to do business. Like Hu Chuyuan, she is born to be a businessman.

Seeing that she was not very interested, Hu Chuyuan said, "Then let you do business, but there is a condition that you have to do the things of the foundation together. The money earned in business is used for women's sports. As for the matter of your family, I will arrange it separately.

Pan Limei finally showed a slightly happy smile and said, "Well, I'll promise you."

Seeing that she was happy, Hu Chuyuan also became happy.

Fate is not completely controlled by everyone. He once hoped that Pan Limei would run a business with him, but who let him get involved in this?

Hu Chuyuan remembered another thing and said to Pan Limei, "It's just right that I'm going to Shanxi. You can go with me. I'll see if there is any good business you can handle."

Pan Limei said, "Well, I'll go back and prepare!"

With this, she got up to leave, but thinking about something, it seemed that there was something she wanted to say.

After a pause, she still couldn't help it. She turned around and asked Hu Chuyuan, "Sir, do you know why I haven't been happy these years?"

Hu Chuyuan asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Pan Limei sighed earnestly, "Because I know you have never been happy. Since you became the first assistant minister and sat on the throne of the prime minister, you have not been happy. I know, because I know you, I'm not happy.

Listening to the sincere exclamation, Hu Chuyuan felt pain and love in his heart.

He couldn't help sighing and said, "There is no other choice at the time. Wait, I'll think of a way."

After saying this, he got up and sent Pan Limei away. By the way, the two of them walked in the garden and found a pavilion for a cup of morning tea.

He has always felt that he is the happiest man in the world, and he cherishes this happiness and protects it all the time.

Pan Limei returned to the back garden, and he continued to sit in the gazebo and think about the answer.

Everyone has what they really want to do. What he wants to do most is to run a huge business empire, just like the era when he personally controlled Jiangnan Business, which was the most proud time in his life.

A few days later, Russia finally launched a wave of offensives in the northwest and northeast at the same time. With the ability of Li Kaiye and Yang Zongli, this was not a big deal. Li Kaiye took the opportunity to fight a small-scale counterattack.

Hu Chuyuan's trip to Shanxi was soon confirmed. In mid-May, Hu Chuyuan took Pan Limei to Shanxi by special train. Along the way, he watched Yangfang New District in Yanjing City, Beiping New District in the center of the hinterland of Hebei, and the emerging Shijiazhuang.

In Jinyang New Town, Hu Chuyuan's special train stopped, and he will inspect here for two days.

Jinyang is the original Yangquan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Meng County, Xiyang County, Pingding County and the new Jinyang County. Jinyang New City is only 75 kilometers away from Taiyuan and 75 kilometers away from Luquan County... Of course, Luquan County at this time, like Jinyang New City, is in the initial construction stage.

The planning of this country is made by Hu Chuyuan, so many places are very special. When building the Taihang Mountain Railway and connecting Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Xingtai, Handan, Jingjing and other important mineral areas, Hu Chuyuan did not deliberately pass through the place called Shijiazhuang.

The Jinjin Railway from Taiyuan to Tianjin, and the Yujing Railway from Jiaozuo to Yanjing are at the junction of Luquan County New District, forming a new industrial and commercial city.

However, Hu Chuyuan's real industrial focus is Jinyang New City.

Jinyang New Town is based on the crisscrossing area of the two branches of Taihang Mountain, shaped like a basin, where a large number of high-quality coal mines and iron ores, as well as bauxite ores, are stored.

Jinyang's iron ore is high-quality pyrite with a large reserve. In addition, iron ore is extracted from Shanxi and Hebei to supplement, a new world-class steel factory can be established here.

Before Hu Chuyuan's arrival, Asian rich countries had set up new branches here. The current plan is to let China Steel, MCC, Wells Fargo and Great Wall take the lead in joint investment.

These are the main holding companies of rich Asian countries. The power to mobilize capital in the Shanghai stock market is very considerable. With the support of CITIC Bank and China Merchants Bank, the project will certainly be carried out smoothly.

Money is not a problem.

Moreover, a wider range of investment is yet to come, provided that the problem of market demand is to be solved.

Leaving Jinyang New District, Hu Chuyuan's Prime Minister's special train drove into Shanxi Province. Many times, Hu Chuyuan also has a very strong hatred and hatred for Shanxi Province.

Dingwu Qihuang, Shanxi Province has starved at least more than 6 million people to death. The reason is that the opium planting area is too large, and Shanxi Province's grain production is too low, which is completely transported by other provinces. Once there is a shortage of grain in other provinces, Shanxi Province will become the most serious wasteland.

Since 1896, Hu Chuyuan has been strengthening his efforts to ban opium cultivation, trying to restore the grain cultivation area in Shanxi Province, and also trying to let CITIC Society enter the transformation of the large agricultural economy in Shanxi Province.

The effect is very poor. The strength of Jin merchants and Shanxi landlords is too strong. They control nearly 50 percent of the land in Shanxi Province, and also control the gentry forces in Shanxi Province. They try their best to exclude the entry of CITIC Society, and the Shanxi Nongxin Society they organize themselves is also lackluster and has no practical use at all.

The only use of

is to make the land smaller from the book, avoiding the centralized land tax of the political axe.

Sitting on the train, Hu Chuyuan has been looking through the window at the scenery of the wild and the fields.

In this vast yellow land, how old will opium be planted?

The anti-smoking campaign is in full swing all over the country, but as soon as it enters Shanxi, it becomes silent. The simple reason is that Shanxi is the largest opium plantation in China.

Capital is profit-seeking.

The opium tax is already high, but as long as there are people smoking, there must be people who are willing to pay the bill, and there will be people.

In the rolling hilly fields, he saw some poppy fields without interruption. Hu Chuyuan could only say in his heart that the adjustment of taxes alone was not enough, and he had to enforce a comprehensive anti-drug policy.

He didn't believe it. As long as he was really serious, would Jin Shang dare to fight with him?

It was already evening when he arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture. Yang Shishan, the governor of Shanxi, took people to wait at the railway station very early.

After getting out of the special car, Hu Chuyuan took the Shanghai Shenbao car that was transferred with the special train in a low-key way, and let Yang Shiqi also sit in and go to the governor's government together.

Yang Shiqian is a very good person. He is very talented and heroic. He has always left a good impression on Hu Chuyuan. This person rarely uses a big knife to deal with things, but once he decides to do it, he will never be soft.

Among the newly promoted governors, Hu Chuyuan is really most optimistic about Yang Shiqian, Ding Bingqian and Wang Qingmu.

Pan Limei came with Hu Chuyuan, but she took another car. In Hu Chuyuan's car, except for the driver and Hu Chuyuan, there was only one Yang Shi.

Hu Chuyuan intended to let the car drive slower, and asked Yang Shiqian, "Has Qiao Jingyan and those people arrived?"

Yang Shiqi nodded cautiously and said, "It's all here. I heard that you arrived in person in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi at this time. They were a little scared!"

Hu Chuyuan sneered and said, "It's okay to be scared, so that they don't know the depth of heaven and earth. They think that they are not afraid of millions of taels of silver buried in their yard."

"It's more than...!"

Yang Shi frowned slightly and hid half a sentence without saying it clearly.
