Last time, Hu Banxian told Chen Zikun's fortune and said that his official career would end here.
Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was still quite worried about it in his heart.
A man was born in troubled times and should make contributions.
How can a mere military affairs supervisory office in Jiangdong Province be his own career?
the end point.
Chen Zikun humbly asked for advice: "Father-in-law, may I ask who you are talking about?"
Yao Qizhen shrugged and said: "The warlords are divided like the late Tang Dynasty.
This chaos will last for at least thirty to fifty years.
Those who can unify China must be still a baby now.
If you ask me, I will ask who will go."
Chen Zikun said again: "Father-in-law, you see I have the capital to compete in the Central Plains."
Yao Qizhen looked at his son-in-law.
This rickshaw puller six years ago is now an army general and oversees a province.
At this rate, it is really possible to achieve something big.
From the bottom of his heart, he is still willing to try it.
He has a taste of being a "state leader", but his experience in politics for many years tells him that Chen Zikun's current strength is more than enough to protect himself, but there is still some gap when he wants to expand his territory.
After all, his foundation is too shallow.
"Zi Kun, how many soldiers do you have?
How is the fiscal revenue of Jiangdong Province?
How many months can it last for a few months?"
The father-in-law showed his real skills and decided to educate his son-in-law.
Chen Zikun said: "After the army in our province has been streamlined, there are three fully-equipped army divisions, two infantry brigades, and an army crash school with a total strength of more than 30,000 people.
As for finance, I am not very clear about the specific figures.
These tasks are all Let the people below do it, and the annual tax revenue will be about three to five million.
If a war breaks out, it will not be a problem to sustain food and ammunition for half a year. " Yao Qizhen said: "The cost of raising a soldier is about 120 yuan per year.
If you have 30,000 horses, that is 3.6 million yuan per year.
I can estimate the fiscal revenue of Jiangdong Province.
Your place is an agricultural province and an industrial province."
It is basically ignored.
It is mainly land tax, commercial tax, tobacco and alcohol tax, and stamp duty.
The maximum is only 6 million, and military expenditure accounts for more than half.
I really don’t know how you can maintain it with this capital, and you still want to compete in the Central Plains."
While sneering, Yao Qizhen lit a cigarette and said in a lecturing tone: "Who is the most powerful among the heroes at the moment?"
"Feng Zhang."
Chen Zikun answered honestly.
"The reason why Fengzhang is strong is because he emphasizes construction.
There are Lao Maozi in the north and Little Japan in the south of the three northeastern provinces.
The geographical factors are supposed to be very bad, but Zhang Zuolin insists on having both sides, playing around with the foreign devils.
Do you know how many factories there are in Fengtian?
Fengjun can manufacture everything from rifles to mortars.
No one can compare with them.
This is the power of industry."
Chen Zikun woke up from a dream: "I also want to develop industry" Yao Qizhen nodded: "Industry must be developed.
It does not mean that industry can produce arms, but that industry can bring huge income.
Now the relationship between China and the big powers is tense.

They often boycott Japanese goods and British goods.
You open a house If you build a soap factory, a cotton mill, and build a railway, the profits will come rolling in. " Chen Zikun said: "But I spent all my money on construction.
What if others call me?
Isn't the built factory a benefit to others in vain?"
Yao Qizhen said: "Don't you understand the situation in the past few years?
There are many heroes vying for supremacy.
Whoever is dominant will be attacked by others.
First Duan Qirui, then Wu Peifu, then Zhang Zuolin, Feng Yuxiang, fighting back and forth. , occupied the territory and then spit it out, today we are enemies and tomorrow we are allies.
In fact, it doesn’t mean anything at all.
Let me see, among the northern warlords, The most astute one is Yan Xishan, who closed the province and changed all the railway tracks to narrow gauges.
Not to mention, he built Shanxi quite well.
You might as well learn from him, build walls high, accumulate grain widely, slowly become king, and build Shanxi.
The purpose of the wall is to develop armaments, just accumulate food.
As long as you have money, you can get as much cheap Siamese rice as you want.
It is very important to slowly become the king.
Don't be the leader. " Chen Zikun said: "I remember, but the funds needed to develop industry and build railways are too large, and Jiangdong Province is too poor.
What should we do?"
Yao Qizhen said: "This is not easy.
I am good at opening banks, issuing banknotes, issuing public bonds, and doing finance."
Chen Zikun said happily: "Father-in-law, why don't you always help me."
Yao Qizhen was reserved for a while and finally agreed to give it a try.
In fact, he felt very happy.
He was very addicted to officialdom.
He left Beijing this time and felt empty.
Being able to show his talents in Jiangdong Province was in line with his wishes.
Mrs.
Yao came in with a smile: "What are we talking about?
We are so speculative.
It's time to eat."
The three of them went to the dining car.
Chen Zikun saw that the National Army soldiers outside were all carrying brand-new Russian water rifles.
He couldn't help but become suspicious.
Fengjun was equipped with some water rifles, but they were all old goods left over from Belarus.
Where could the National Army find them?
Come so many Russian rifles.
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Yao Qizhen said: "Feng Yuxiang is said to be going to Soviet Russia for inspection this time when he goes out.
He is very close to the Russians, which is not a good thing."
"Oh, no wonder the National Army uses Russian guns."
Chen Zikun understood.
Yao Qizhen snorted: "Not to mention rifles, even the cannons are made in Russia.
Russian arms are transported to Zhangjiakou by the carloads.
There are also Russian consultants.
Feng Yuxiang is also interesting.
He talks about others selling his country all day long.
Isn't he not the same?

This Russia Are people just good men and believers in women?”
The lady rolled her eyes at him: "Keep your voice down, if others hear you, it would be weird if they don't think you are Xu Shuzheng and are killed."
Yao Qizhen said: "He dares to say that Feng Yuxiang has been electrified and left the field.
The generals under him will not obey anyone.
I don't think they will collapse in a few months."
He said this with confidence, but his voice was much lower.
It seemed that Shui Lianzhu still had the intimidating power.
The journey was fairly smooth.
When they arrived at the capital of Jiangdong Province, Yao Yilei burst into tears of joy when she saw her parents.
Yao Qizhen and his wife hugged their granddaughter and kissed them non-stop, smiling from ear to ear.
Jian Bing was relaxing beside her, but her heart felt sour.
The family is reunited, but my parents don’t know where they are.
This year's Spring Festival was spent in Jiangdong.
War continued in North China, but East China was relatively peaceful.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Zikun vigorously developed the economy, established a Jiangdong Steamship Company in Shanghai, and bought several old ships from Taikoo & Co., Ltd. , specializes in running the Huaijiang route, doing both passenger and freight transportation.
High-quality white coal and iron ore from Nantai are shipped to Shanghai in a boatload, in exchange for white silver.
The personal problems of his subordinates have basically been solved.
Xue Bin got married and started a business in Shanghai.
The Three Gun Club and the steamship company were left to him to take care of.
Gai Longquan, Chen Shou and others also found wives in the provincial women's normal school.
Even Wang Degui He and Li Changsheng also got married.
Li Changsheng found a widow with children.
When they got married, Chen Zikun personally officiated the marriage, but he was deeply moved.
Liang Maocai has always been single.
He originally wanted to give him the red jade in Ye Shanghai, but when he arrived in the real Shanghai, he could not remember the copycat version of Ye Shanghai in Nantai County.
However, these love debts were not something that Marshal Chen could handle.
My father-in-law, Yao Qizhen, was appointed to set up Jiangdong Bank and served as the general office of the railway, undertaking the construction of the railway from the provincial capital to Jiangbei.
He was a former transportation chief and was very familiar with the job.
He found a few old friends to make a budget. , the railway bridge over the Huaijiang River alone will cost 1.5 million oceans, and the cost of 300 kilometers of railways will be astronomical.
Fortunately, Chen Zikun was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time.
Time entered the spring of 1926, and war began again in the north.
Wu Peifu's troops attacked Henan from Hubei, which was defended by the National Army.
Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun and Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu Allied Forces attacked Tianjin along the Jingfeng Line and Jinpu Line respectively, and attacked Dagu by sea.
In order to prevent the enemy from attacking from the sea, the National Army extinguished lighthouses, spread mines, and blocked the navigation route to Tianjin Haikou, which triggered a conflict with the great powers.
On March 12, two Japanese destroyers forcibly entered the waters of Dagukou and were shelled by the Nationalist Army.
The two sides fought fiercely, causing damage to each other.
The powers were furious because according to the Xinchou Treaty, Chinese troops were not allowed to garrison at Dagukou.
Therefore, the eight ministers of Britain, Japan, the United States, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium issued an ultimatum to the Duan Qirui authorities in Beijing, requiring the Chinese troops to withdraw from Dagu Pass, demolish the forts, punish those involved, and allow foreign ships to sail freely.
The basis for foreigners is the Xinchou Treaty signed by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces and the Qing government.
This is one of the most notorious unequal treaties that weighs on the Chinese people.
China is still burdened with the astronomical Boxer Indemnity, which is like a thin The sick man finally managed to produce some blood in his body, but it was sucked away by the leech.
Moreover, before Wu San's blood had cooled down, the foreign powers once again rode on the Chinese people and went wild, which was simply to provoke the nerves of the Chinese people.
Beijing, the Dongwenchang Hutong Student Apartment is home to poor students from major universities in Beijing.
Over time, it has become a salon for the exchange of ideas.
In the early spring, college students wear white scarves and quietly listen to a boy speech.

"Students, imperialism is once again sitting on our heads.
On May 30th, it was the students in Shanghai who stood on the front line and fought.
Now it is finally the turn of our students in Beijing.
On the 18th, the National Assembly will be held to oppose The eight-nation ultimatum, the expulsion of the eight-nation ministers, the abolition of the Xinchou Treaty, let's see you in the square."
After a burst of warm applause, the boy jumped off the podium, walked to Lin Wenjing's side and said, "Let's go together then."
"Teacher Han, I" Lin Wenjing said hesitantly.
Han Letian raised his hand: "Don't refuse.
This is not a matter between you and me.
We must make our voices heard and let the Duan government know that we will never agree to any traitorous behavior.
We must show our strength.
This requires everyone's support."
Participation requires you, me, and all of us Chinese people.”
Lin Wenjing was infected by his emotions, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go."
Back home, Lin Wenjing was still very excited.
She couldn't help but spread out the letter paper, took out a red fountain pen, and started to write: "Uncle, how are you doing recently?"
