Chapter 27: Goal: Harbin, the Largest Internationalized City in Northeast China during the Republic of China!
A salary of 5 yuan per person per month.
Others think it's high.
But Zhang Xue Ming didn't care much.
He receives 2 million silver yuan from Yu Feng Zhi every month.
Let's do the math.
It's enough to pay the salary of 400,000 people.
If his father-in-law could really recruit 400,000 people.
He would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
At this moment.
Looking at the mountain of silver on the ground, then at Zhang Xue Ming, who was full of confidence.
Yu Wen Dou could only feel his heart beating faster.
Damn, he originally thought marrying his daughter to Zhang's second son was a last resort.
Now it looks like.
He's probably climbed a big tree!
Yu Wen Dou gritted his teeth.
"Son-in-law, don't worry, this matter is entrusted to your father-in-law!"
.........
A week later.
Zhang Xue Ming left Yu Jia Zhuang, he came with eight hundred cavalry.
But when he left, he had over three hundred carriages and over a thousand laborers behind him!
These carriages were filled with grain, totaling over 500,000 jin, emptying almost half of Yu Wen Dou's over one hundred grain cellars.
This time, Zhang Xue Ming successfully fleeced his father-in-law.
However, he didn't mistreat his father-in-law.
To keep his father-in-law stable, and make him transport grain every month.
Zhang Xue Ming selected some decent old weapons from the various weapons he seized during the suppression of bandits, totaling 1,000 pieces, and sent them to the militia of Yu Jia Zhuang.
Among them, there were even two Qing dynasty tiger dunpao and several smuggled revolvers with worn-out barrels.
These were just junk in his eyes.
But to Yu Wen Dou, they were priceless treasures.
With guns in hand, they wouldn't be afraid.
When Yu Wen Dou, with a revolver on his waist, saw that everyone in his militia had a gun, he finally understood what his son-in-law meant by 'exporting security'!
"Damn it, old Yu's family has become a warlord!"
Zhang Zuolin's success is right before their eyes.
The whole Northeast.
Who doesn't want to rise in this turbulent world?
..............
"Master, please have some tea!"
"Master, I'll massage your legs."
On the carriage, Zhang Xue Ming calmly sipped the fragrant tea offered by Ru Lan.
Because he was returning to Yu Feng Zhi's hometown to visit relatives.
Zhang Xue Ming didn't bring Gu Rui Yu and Zhang Shu Zhen along.
These past few days, Ru Lan and Ru Yu finally ate their fill, the slight resentment they had in their hearts before immediately transformed into tender affection.
They couldn't wait to pamper Zhang Xue Ming like a spoiled young master.
However, Zhang Xue Ming turned to look at his wife.
"Feng Zhi, where are we now?"
He has been gone for over a week, the many level 0 basic buildings in Daqing should be completed by now!
Next, it's time to start building level 2 buildings!
"Reporting to Master, we're almost at Harbin, but we brought so much grain this time, and Master doesn't want to cross the bridge built by the Japanese, so we can only switch to boats at the Songhua River to cross the river."
Feng Zhi's family has been involved in trading for many years, and she has some knowledge of grain transportation.
Although she didn't understand why Zhang Xue Ming was unwilling to go over the bridge built by the Japanese.
She didn't refute him either.
Only Zhang Xue Ming knows that the straight-line distance between his base in Daqing and Harbin is only 150 kilometers.
This is an extremely dangerous distance.
If Russia or the Japanese covet him, they can reach his city in just three days.
And now, various buildings in Daqing are just being constructed, and even the armory hasn't been built yet, without any defense measures.
Therefore, the later the major forces in Harbin City discover him, the better.
And these hundreds of carriages of grain are too eye-catching!
The Japanese are not fools, if they really go over the bridge in the city.
It's like a 'child carrying gold through a bustling market'!
Giving the Japanese a mouthful of fat.
After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Xue Ming nodded and said, "That's right, let the grain convoy go as far away from Harbin as possible before loading onto boats."
"As for us... Wife, you've been roughing it with me for a while, I'll take you for a walk in Harbin City."
Zhang Xue Ming understands that when he is strong enough!
He must first occupy Harbin.
Take down this huge city with the largest population in the world that is located furthest north.
'As for now, let me go and scout Harbin's situation first!'
..........
Harbin.
Known as one of the top ten cities in the Republic of China.
With a permanent population of over one million.
Because it has been infiltrated by Russia for many years.
Russian architecture is everywhere in the city, the most famous being 'Harbin Railway Station' and 'Saint Sophia Cathedral'. Due to the abundance of Russian architecture, it was once even called "Moscow of the East" by foreigners!
At this moment, Zhang Xue Ming, with Yu Feng Zhi and Ru Lan and Ru Yu, arrived at the commercial district on Central Street!
The streets were bustling with people!
There were Chinese people with their braids cut off, wearing suits, Russians with golden hair and blue eyes, Korean refugees wearing traditional Korean clothes carrying baskets, and even many Japanese soldiers patrolling with guns.
If he hadn't known in advance that this was Harbin.
Even Zhang Xue Ming thought he was in some strange time and space.
This city is a rare modernized city in the Republic of China, with a telephone bureau, telegraph bureau, power plant, and even intercity railways in the city.
Watching a tram, with its bell ringing, pass by him.
Even Zhang Xue Ming couldn't help but praise.
"I didn't expect there to be such an internationalized city in the Republic of China!"
At this moment, his desire to take Harbin was even stronger.
However, Yu Feng Zhi didn't have many thoughts!
Since she got pregnant!
She has been cooped up for four months, and now that she has finally reached a big city, she immediately started shopping crazily.
Italian leather bags, French perfume, American elastic stockings, steel-ring bras.
And all kinds of Russian chocolates and desserts.
Yu Feng Zhi was practically buying anything she saw.
While Zhang Xue Ming just followed behind and paid!
"Husband, you're so good to me!"
