Chapter 2874

The last task of Bai Letong and Ning Zijing before leaving Shenyang was to assist Bai Kesi in auditing a series of engineering plans submitted by the Northern Region.Although the two of them are not industrial experts, their knowledge and insight have surpassed most ordinary bureaucrats, and after so many field visits in Liaodong, they also understand the local conditions.If there is something wrong in these plans, there is a high probability that they will not escape their eyes.

Of course, the main purpose of Bai Kesi's arrangement is to take this opportunity to train the two young people, so that they can more clearly understand the country's operating rules and development status.

Although they already knew about the grand development plan designed by Chen Yixin during the investigation in Liaodong, after reading the relevant written proposals, they still felt that the implementation of these projects was too difficult. Doubts arose as to whether it could be implemented in the next few years.

"The northern region is rich, and the funds needed to prepare these projects should not be a problem, but given the current situation in Liaodong, is there really a way to get enough labor to do the work?" After reading some of the proposals, Bai Letong couldn't help but wonder The source of labor has been questioned.

Ning Zijing patted the file in his hand and replied: "Didn't Uncle Chen say that, on the one hand, he introduced immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, he hired cheap labor from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible."

Bai Letong said: "The Manchu Qing had a limited population, and they have been hostile to our country for more than [-] years. How could they easily let the population flow to our country? Even if some tribes are willing to cooperate with us, the number of laborers that can be imported should be limited. At best, it is a supplement, but it is unlikely to meet the employment needs here. I think this matter has to fall on Daming’s side.”

Ning Zijing said: "It is only a matter of time before our country replaces Ming Dynasty and takes over the hinterland of the Central Plains. It would be a good thing if the people under Ming Dynasty can enter our country to settle down sooner."

Bai Letong said: "I'm afraid that Daming won't cooperate and will eventually have to resort to military means to achieve his goal. When the war resumes, it will inevitably affect innocent people again."

Ning Zijing smiled and said, "Le Tong, you are really a bit of a woman. How can you take over the world without firing a single shot? You don't think that our country signed a contract with the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The armistice agreement is intended to be a permanent truce?"

Bai Letong sighed and said, "Of course I know it's about accumulating strength, and I'll take it slowly. It's just that if there is a more clever way to completely surrender the opponent without fighting, that would be the best."

Beks had been listening to their conversation quietly, and only then did he respond: "There is no such way, but it will only be possible if you, the younger generation, put in more effort."

Bai Letong said: "I also ask my father to teach me."

Bai Kesi said: "It's actually very simple to say, as long as the national power gap between Haihan and other countries can be widened to the point of crushing each other, then there is no need to fight, and many problems that seem difficult now can be easily solved."

Bai Letong said in astonishment: "Although our national power is strong, countries like Ming and Manchu are not weak in strength, so they won't be able to crush them after all, right?"

Beks shook his head and said, "The national strength of our country is far from reaching the level expected by the executive committee. We have a lot of advanced technologies in our hands, but unfortunately, due to the constraints of this era, many of them cannot be realized. We can only send I hope for you and future generations. If you can achieve these long-term goals, let alone the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, there will be no country in the world that can be an enemy of Haihan!"

Bai Letong and Ning Zijing looked at each other, and they both saw the surprised expression on each other's faces.

Beks expressed a few words of emotion, but he didn't really plan to let these two young people overcome those technical goals that could not be achieved at this stage.What's more, they didn't study science and engineering, and they couldn't become a half-way monk to become an engineer, or enter the army to lead soldiers to fight. If they can do their own jobs well, they will be regarded as meritorious service to the country.

After completing the inspection work in Shenyang, Bai Kesi and his party went down the Hun River by boat from the south of Shenyang City according to the scheduled plan, and went to the Panshan area downstream to inspect the last stop in Liaodong.

Compared with the big rivers they have seen in the south, the navigation and carrying capacity of the Liaodong water system is indeed much worse, and the width and depth of the waterway are not suitable for the passage of heavy and heavy cargo ships.And the sea boat they took to go north did not sail into the inland river at all due to its deep draft, but stopped at the coast near Gaizhou.

According to the information held by the Ministry of Industry, the coastal plains in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River, the Hunhe River, and the Daliaohe River contain extremely rich underground oil and gas resources, that is, the Liaohe Oilfield that traveled through the previous time and space.However, the relevant information in the large database is based on the collection of public information. As for the specific mineral deposit location and reserve level, and what kind of mining technology is required, a lot of on-site exploration work is still required.

And this work has been intensively launched after Haihan completed the Northern Expedition in Liaodong.The Ministry of Industry has dispatched several batches of technicians here in the past few years, and will continue to invest resources in this place for development only after the preliminary exploration work is over.

Although for Haihan, the current application of petroleum resources is not too extensive, and the related petrochemical industry is still in its infancy, and the investment is much higher than the income it can generate, but the Executive Committee, which has mastered the technological development route, looks at the problem From different angles, they understand the significance of this special mineral deposit.

Whether it is the internal combustion engine or the petrochemical industry, it will greatly accelerate Haihan's industrialization process and enhance Haihan's strength in various industrial fields.And the "crushing of national power" that Beks said probably had to enter this period before it could be realized.

A group of people landed at the confluence of the lower reaches of the Hun River and the Taizi River. The section of water from here to the mouth of Liaodong Bay is called the Daliao River.Under the leadership of Chen Yixin, he went to check several nearby exploration and production wells.

It is worth mentioning that the water system here is developed, the land is fertile, and the terrain is flat. It is the most suitable area for growing various crops in Liaodong.Most of the people who settled here are Han immigrants from Shandong, North China and other places.

There are also a small number of residents who were Han slaves who were not taken away when the Manchus evacuated during the Haihan Northern Expedition. It was luck for them to stay. At that time, the Haihan army landed on the coast near Gaizhou, and there were many armed ships. The troops sailed into the Liaohe River and the Daliaohe River, and deployed troops to the rear of the Manchu and Qing defense lines through the waterway.

Such a strategy directly caused the Qing army guarding Gaizhou to worry about being attacked by the enemy. Some garrison points far away from the city did not dare to stay behind, and fled northward with only their family members.And those Han slaves who got wind of it took this opportunity to find ways to escape and regain their freedom.
