Chapter 2441

Of course, Chen Yixin's thoughts are the same as those of most time travellers. He hopes that his children can completely inherit the career he has worked hard for in the future. However, in order to achieve this, he must first ensure that the next generation has the corresponding abilities, otherwise no matter how much family property he has,

It is impossible to prevent future generations from producing a few prodigal mediocre people, and receiving comprehensive and advanced education from an early age is one of the basic conditions to ensure that future generations will become talented.

Regarding the issue of whether to send his children back to Sanya to study, Chen Yixin has discussed it many times with his family, but has never made a clear decision. It’s not that he thinks there is no need to send his children back to Sanya, but he has to stay in the north all year round and cannot communicate with him.

His wife and son returned to Sanya to settle together, unless he could give up the situation he had built in the north in the past few years, resign from his current position, and choose to return to his country to become a civilian military attaché.

Whether to live apart from his family for a long time or to resign and give up his current career is indeed a dilemma for Chen Yixin. Even though he is decisive in killing in the military, he still inevitably hesitates when faced with such a choice.

situation. Moreover, he has been away from Sanya for ten years and does not have many connections in the country to rely on. Whether it is sending his family back or transferring himself, it is difficult to make comprehensive arrangements in advance. In this case, he certainly cannot easily

Give up military power.

Tao Donglai's statement undoubtedly gave him hope of solving the problem. If the executive committee could provide a more appropriate arrangement for this, then he could really consider sending his family to Sanya to settle down and solve his children's education problem.

Chen Yixin responded: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Tao first! But in the future, can you give me more holidays so that I can go back to the south twice a year, so that my children will not know me as their father when they grow up!"

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "It is indeed hard to guard the border for the country. The executive committee will definitely take your difficulties to heart and will try its best to solve them for you. Regarding the issue of vacation... it may depend on whether the mission can be completed this time.

Achieve the desired results, and if everything goes well, you will have a lot of time to make your own arrangements in the future."

Tao Donglai's words are not to paint a cake for Chen Yixin. If an armistice agreement acceptable to all parties can be reached at this multinational meeting, then in the next period of time, Haihan will no longer need to stay in Northeast Asia.

Maintaining a state of readiness for war at any time, both generals and troops can get a chance to rest and recuperate. As long as a peaceful situation can be ushered in, let alone two vacations a year, even if Chen Yixin wants to go back to Sanya to live for three to five months, that's okay

Down.

Of course, this is only an ideal situation, and the situation in Northeast Asia may not develop in the direction Haihan expected. Tao Donglai did not dare to speak too harshly. After all, there are only a few senior generals who are familiar with the situation in Northeast Asia.

, if the international situation does not develop in a good direction, Haihan will still need to maintain armament levels in this region, and Chen Yixin will definitely not be able to return to China to enjoy a long vacation.

Chen Yixin's family members were present at the moment, and Tao Donglai did not speak too bluntly, but Chen Yixin could certainly understand what he meant and nodded in response: "Don't worry, Mr. Tao, I always put national affairs first. If Shandong and Liaodong

It’s not peaceful, and I definitely don’t have the heart to take a vacation. My things are not urgent either. I’ll wait until you finish your errands this time and the situation becomes clearer.”

Although Chen Yixin is away from home all year round and does not have much of a bureaucratic atmosphere, he is unambiguous when it comes to expressing his loyalty to the executive committee and speaks nice words. He is completely sacrificing his family to defend his country.

The current situation in Northeast Asia is actually tending to ease. After the Qing army retreated from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it stands to reason that it will take a long time to slowly digest the large amount of wealth and population gained from this robbery, so it will launch a large-scale military in the short term.

The possibility of action is actually not high, which is one of the main reasons why Haihan chose this time to organize a multi-national meeting. However, the content of this meeting is still absolutely confidential, and it is not easy to discuss it in front of Chen Yixin’s family.

We skipped this topic together in a tacit understanding.

Now that they have arrived at Majiazhuang, Ma Dongqiang, as the host, naturally has to throw a banquet to entertain him, and it is inevitable that he will eat and drink. However, Tao Donglai has a noble status, and Ma Dongqiang does not dare to greet his business partners as casually as he usually does.

The wine glasses were specially designed to be half a minute shorter than Tao Donglai's to show respect.

During the dinner, Tao Donglai also took the initiative to ask Ma Dongqiang about the current business situation. When it came to this topic, Ma Dongqiang couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Although Chen Yixin's special status did bring a lot of convenience to the Ma family's operations, the specific aspects of business and trade

In fact, Chen Yixin rarely intervenes directly in operations. Ma Dongqiang is basically taking care of it himself. The fact that Fushan County can now be run into the leading transnational trade zone in Shandong Peninsula is indeed due to his contribution.

Chen Yixin recently recruited wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who had taken refuge in Fushan County to establish the "Shan Haihui". During this period, Ma Dongqiang was also responsible for the contacts and negotiations with all parties. Therefore, a considerable part of Haihan's current business connections in Shandong are actually controlled by

In the hands of Ma Dongqiang.

Tao Donglai nodded slightly while listening, thinking that given time, Ma Dongqiang should be able to become the spokesperson of Haihan in the local area like Li Jifeng in Guangzhou. However, if the Ma family is to be completely recruited, just letting them run the industry in Shandong is not enough.

It's far from enough, and we still need to use more coaxing measures.

Tao Donglai asked: "I heard that Ma Yuanwai not only did a good job in Shandong, but also bought an industry in Taiwan Island?"

Ma Dongqiang responded quickly: "This is all based on Yixin's advice. He said that there has just been under your rule not long ago, and all kinds of industries are waiting for prosperity. If you invest money to start a plantation at this time, there will be excellent returns in the future. Next.

Thinking that what he said was reasonable, I followed what he said, purchased property on Taiwan Island, set up several plantations, and then expanded the plantation area every year depending on the situation. There are currently nearly 2,000 plantations operating there.

acres of land, and hundreds of local people have been hired to take care of the fields. This year, if there is spare money on hand, we plan to build two more oil and sugar workshops there, so that the plantation’s produce can be processed by ourselves.”

Investing in plantations in Taiwan is most suitable for businessmen who are in Ming Dynasty and want to make steady profits overseas. The plantation projects they invest in need to hire a large number of local laborers, which can solve the problem of newly relocated people to a certain extent.

In order to solve the employment problem of these local immigrants and stabilize the social order. Most of these plantations are mainly cash crops designated by the Haihan official. In addition to providing agricultural technology and seedlings, the official will also purchase these agricultural products, so there is basically no need for them.

Worry about losing money.

The Ma family has invested in plantations near Kaohsiung in the southern part of Taiwan Island and in the Vale Valley in Taipei. They plant sugar cane and oil palm respectively, and they have already produced output. The two cash crops are processed after deep processing.

Cane sugar and palm oil are both high-value commodities, and Ma Dongqiang naturally wants to take over the processing link so that the commodities sold on the market can earn more profits.

Tao Donglai said: "Our country has recently developed a new colonial area in Miaoli in the central part of Taiwan Island. A considerable number of refugees currently migrating from Shandong will be sent to Miaoli for resettlement. Is Ma Yuanwai interested in returning there?

Miaoli also buys a plantation?"

Ma Dongqiang was well informed. Since Tao Donglai had personally given his advice, how could he refuse? He quickly responded: "It's such a good thing, so I'd like to thank Mr. Tao for his advice!"

Tao Donglai said: "You don't have to be so polite, Ma Yuan. If you have any difficulties in capital turnover, you can go to Haihan Bank to solve it. In addition, if there is a suitable partner in the Shanhaihui, you can also bring him to the local landlord in Taiwan Island."

"

Ma Dongqiang said: "Actually, I have mentioned Master Tao's suggestion to people I know. However, they have not had deep contact with your country and lack enough trust, so they are a little worried about the reliability of operating plantations overseas."

"It's okay. It's normal to have such worries. We can arrange an itinerary and go to the local area for on-the-spot inspections. The cost of the round trip will be borne by our country." Tao Donglai readily made a promise: "If Ma Yuanwai has time,

, you can also go to the local area to see your property in person.”

For businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, investing in industries overseas naturally involves considerable risks. Spending tens of thousands of taels of wasted money, but unable to see the properties they purchased, there are too many uncertainties.

This kind of anxiety cannot be resolved with a few words. I think that when Ma Dongqiang invested in Taiwan Island under Chen Yixin's persuasion, he was also worried, fearing that his money would be wasted unknowingly, until he later sent

My family members went over to supervise the work and reported back that the progress there was going well, so they gradually felt relieved.

Other businessmen do not have Haihan's son-in-law like Chen Yixin, and all sources of information are only provided by Haihan. Although Ma Dongqiang boasts about the benefits of investing in Taiwan Island, they cannot see the real thing at all, so naturally they will not believe him easily.

these propaganda.

In fact, Chen Yixin had already mentioned it to Ma Dongqiang a long time ago, asking him to go south to Haihan's various territories to see if Haihan's various propaganda were exaggerated. Especially Taiwan Island, where the Ma family has spent a lot of money, should be more

Go to the local area to witness the results of your investment with your own eyes. However, Ma Dongqiang has never left Dengzhou in his life. If he is asked to go to a place thousands of miles away, and he is not accompanied by Chen Yixin, he is still unwilling to make such a long journey.

After listening to Tao Donglai's words, Ma Dongqiang looked at Chen Yixin and wanted to know his son-in-law's opinion. Chen Yixin looked as usual and said: "Then when I am on vacation, my family will go south together to Taiwan Island to see how our business is doing.

.”

"Okay! Just like Yixin said, let's go together when he takes vacation! Let's go together!" As long as his son-in-law can go with him, Ma Dongqiang naturally has nothing to worry about.

Tao Donglai said: "If Ma Yuanwai feels that there are talented children in the family, he can be sent to our country to learn various knowledge and skills. When he returns to Shandong in the future, he should also be able to contribute to the revitalization of the Ma family."

Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Mr. Tao, this matter is already being implemented. There is a junior in the family named Ma Hao, who is currently training at the military academy in Sanya. After completing his studies, he should be assigned back to Shandong."

"Are you going to come back and lead the militia, or are you going to serve in our Haihan Army?" Tao Donglai asked, secretly writing down his name so that he could find out more about Ma Hao when he returned to Sanya.

Chen Yixin said: "I plan to arrange for him to stay in Jinzhou for a year or two first, so that he can accumulate some experience on the front line, and then look at his own wishes. By then, it will definitely be more than enough to lead a county-level militia."

Ma Dongqiang said: "If he is willing to return to Fushan County to lead the regiment training, then the clan will provide some money and donate a thousand households for him, and he will be given official positions such as general, so that he can cooperate with the Haihan Army."

After Tao Donglai heard this, he knew that Ma Dongqiang still hoped that this descendant could return to Fushan County to serve the Ma family, instead of staying in the Haihan Army and working for others. With the current strength of the Ma family, they can support a thousand people.

It shouldn't be a problem to train the militiamen. As long as you buy an official position for this junior, the regiment can immediately transform into a regular army. By then, the Ma family's influence in Dengzhou will increase even more, even those in Dengzhou city who have been coveting it.

Fushan County officials, if they want to play any tricks, they have to be wary of the armed forces in the hands of the Ma family.

Tao Donglai didn't mind Ma Dongqiang's small calculations. If the Ming army had its own people, many things would be much easier to handle. This has been fully proved in the south. If Ma Hao had the corresponding ability,

It's impossible to say that Haihan would still try to push him to climb higher.

After the banquet that day, Tao Donglai did not make any other arrangements and just stayed in Majiazhuang. In the evening, Chen Yixin summoned Liu Shang and other local officials and asked Tao Donglai to meet them. These officials have been in the house recently.

It was busy outside, and it was only then that I learned that Tao Donglai had arrived in Shandong quietly.

Tao Donglai also knew that these people had been busy resettling refugees recently, and they were all very busy and working very hard. At that moment, he gently encouraged them, saying that the executive committee had always paid attention to the work they had done, and there would be more in the future.

Corresponding incentive measures.

Of course, after the meeting, Chen Yixin took these people out of the living room and warned them to keep Tao Donglai's itinerary secret and not let the news leak out. A smart man like Liu Shang would naturally have thought that Tao Donglai would

The big shot came quietly to the north. Something big must have happened recently.

The next day, according to scheduled arrangements, Tao Donglai will go to Fushan Copper Mine to inspect. As the copper mine with the largest production capacity under Haihan, this mine is of extraordinary significance to Haihan. The executive committee has been working hard to promote the industrialization process.

, a large amount of copper must be consumed. The copper ore shipped out from Fushan County every two months will be treated as strategic materials and sent to the south by military transport ships, and directly transported to Tiandu Industrial Zone, where it will be processed

Various industrial products needed by Cheng Haihan.
