Three days before returning to Suiyuan City, Fang Hua took the time to carefully tour the city he had been away from for more than half a year.
Various buildings were built in Guihua and Suiyuan cities. There were more and more people in the cities. There were Han people who came from the mainland to do business, and there were also Mongolians from surrounding banners who came to sell grassland products. Restaurants, shops, horse racing Markets and even factories are dotted throughout the city. Moreover, according to the development plan that Fang Hua had set before leaving, the two cities were developing towards each other and getting closer and closer. In a year or two, they would be in contact with each other. A majestic grassland city was rising.
As soon as they returned to Suiyuan Dutong Mansion, Fan Yi and Huang Mingcheng greeted them.
"I heard that your Excellency has been inspecting the development of Guihua and Suiyuan these days. I wonder if you are satisfied with it?" Fan Yi said with a smile. During the half year since Fang Hua left, for the development of Guisui, Fan Yi and other people who stayed in Suiyuan can be said to have worked hard, so they spoke with confidence.
"Haha, of course I'm satisfied. I really didn't expect that Guisui would undergo such big changes after being away for more than half a year. Brother Ziyuan is indispensable for the development of the two cities to what they are today." Fang Hua praised this. That's right. Even if he were in charge personally, he couldn't do better than he did now. Therefore, Fang Hua was really satisfied with the efforts made by Fan Yi and others.
After receiving Fang Hua's praise, Fan Yi smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Subordinates don't dare to take full credit. Guisui's development today is inseparable from the development plan set by the adults and the assistance of others." , especially Mr. Huang¡¯s hard work. It was really wise of you to send a telegram to ask your subordinates to poach Mr. Huang. Guisui is currently prosperous, and Mr. Huang¡¯s dedication is obvious to all.¡±
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Mr. Fan has given me a compliment." Huang Mingcheng quickly said modestly.
Hearing this, Fang Hua observed Huang Mingcheng carefully and realized that compared with the first time they met, he looked much thinner now. This shows that he has put a lot of effort into the development of Guisui. Fang Hua said with some emotion: "Brother Bing, there are many places where I will rely on you in the future. You must take good care of your health!"
"I am a hard-working person. I want to do something for the people in this life and leave a good reputation after my death. Speaking of which, I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to be reborn." Huang Mingcheng still knows the rules. Yes, place your position very low. However, one could still tell from the tone of his words that he couldn't let go of the fact that he was inexplicably dismissed from the post of Datong Prefect.
"Brother Bing, you were dismissed from the post of governor of Datong because of my involvement. The new governor couldn't see that the two important towns in northern Shanxi were under my control, and he recognized you as one of my people. This is why he was involved. You, in the final analysis, I can't help you. As things are, please don't worry too much about Brother Bing. One day I will definitely give an explanation to Brother Bing." Fang Hua knew that Huang Mingcheng didn't love money and was not lustful. He cared about his reputation, and being dismissed from the post of Datong prefect for no reason was a thorn in his heart, so he tried his best to comfort him.
Huang Mingcheng smiled bitterly. He also knew the whole story. His Datong magistrate was appointed by Fang Hua. It was not an exaggeration to think that he was a member of Fang Hua's side, not to mention that he was working under Fang Hua now. It has been labeled as "Fang system". So he sighed and said: "This one hundred and eighty kilograms will be sold to you, sir. From now on, I will swear to follow you to the death and never betray you." He knew that he was already regarded as a figure in Fang Hua's camp. , instead of being conceited and refusing to admit it, it is better to take the initiative to admit it, so that you can gain trust and have the opportunity to be reused.
Fang Hua did not expect that Huang Mingcheng would suddenly express his allegiance so confidently, and then he felt ecstatic in his heart. Being familiar with Huang Mingcheng, he naturally knew that since Huang Mingcheng expressed his loyalty like this, he must be sincerely loyal. Fang Hua, who has always admired Huang Mingcheng, was naturally overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Brother Bingzhi, for your trust. I promise that I will not treat those who follow me badly. If I can obtain a higher status, I will definitely put Brother Bingzhi in a bigger place to display his talents." Talent.¡±
"Thank you, sir." Huang Mingcheng responded.
"Brother Bingzhi's talent is obvious to all. Now that brother Bingzhi can sincerely help you, I believe our future in Guisui will be more prosperous." Fan Yi congratulated. After six months of getting along, Fan Yi and Huang Mingcheng have a good relationship. Now, Fan Yi was naturally very happy that Huang Mingcheng could take the initiative to invest in Suiyuan.
"Brother Ziyuan, do you just plan to stay in Suiyuan? The outside world is very exciting." Fang Hua said thoughtfully.
Fan Yi and Huang Mingcheng were startled at the same time, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean, sir?"
Fang Hua smiled slightly and did not answer. It was the end of September 1910. There was still more than a year left before the Revolution of 1911. There was enough time to make preparations.Prepare.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Hua ordered: "Brother Bing, I will leave the civil affairs of Guihua and Suiyuan to you."
Huang Mingcheng saluted Fang Hua solemnly and said, "I obey." In fact, Huang Mingcheng had already started handling civil affairs in the two places, but this was equivalent to a formal appointment.
Fang Hua nodded slightly, then looked at Fan Yida and said: "Brother Ziyuan, from now on the civil affairs of Guisui will be handed over to brother Bingzhi, so you don't need to be responsible for this."
Before Fan Yi said anything, Huang Mingcheng became a little anxious. This would mean that Huang Mingcheng had taken away Fan Yi's power. This made the brothers who had followed Fang Hua early in the morning think of him, so they were eager to stop him. Fang Hua's decision.
Fang Hua waved his hand towards Huang Mingcheng, asking him to relax. Fan Yi behaved very calmly. He did not doubt Fang Hua's trust in him, but he did not understand why he was not allowed to be responsible for the civil affairs of the two places, so he waited for Fang Hua's next explanation.
"You should all know that I made some money in Shanghai this time. Before I came back, I went to some foreign companies and ordered a lot of mining equipment and machinery manufacturing machines. So I plan to let you be responsible for the use of these machines, Guisui's Coal resources are something that even foreigners are jealous of. If it were not for the inconvenience of transportation, I am afraid that a large number of foreigners would have come to grab the mines. We cannot beg for food with a golden rice bowl. The coal resources in Guisui must be utilized. There are also those machine-made ones. The machines must also be used, and our money cannot be wasted." Fang Hua looked at Fan Yi and said.
¡°Then where does the ownership of these established enterprises belong?¡± Fan Yi asked quickly, not expecting Fang Hua to put him in charge of this aspect. You must know that the money to buy equipment belongs to Fang Hua personally, but the mining rights of the coal mine belong to the Guisui area. If you don't make a clear distinction, it will be very troublesome in the future.
Fang Hua smiled slightly and said: "All the equity belongs to the Guisui government. Brother Bing, I gave this money to the Guisui government. You have to make good use of it. If you let me know that someone in the government dares to enrich himself, I will not do it." Be merciful.¡±
Huang Mingcheng was very moved when he heard that Fang Hua had given all the shares to the Guisui government. Even if Fang Hua used his power to get all the shares, no one would dare to say anything. Therefore, after hearing Fang Hua's warning, Huang Mingcheng said without hesitation: "Please don't worry, sir. If someone dares to reach out here, my subordinates will deal with him first without your intervention."
