Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

"northeast."

Ye Yunfei slowly uttered two words.

northeast.

Hearing the two words Ye Yunfei said, Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang frowned and said, "Brother Qiang, you are talking about Zhang Hanqing's territory."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Yes, it is Zhang Hanqing's Northeast."

"The Northeast is extremely vast, and its economy is relatively developed and densely populated. It can be said to be a treasure land of the Republic of China."

"If we can expand our business to the Northeast and open a power plant there, we will definitely make a lot of money."

After listening to Ye Yunfei's words, Xu Wenqiang said in a deep voice: "Brother Fei is right. The Northeast is indeed very large, and there are indeed many people in the Northeast."

"But the Northeast is Zhang Hanqing's territory after all. Will he let us do business in his territory?"

"I'm afraid he won't agree. Besides, the Zhang family in Northeast China is very powerful now. Even among all the warlords in the Republic of China, they are one of the strongest."

"We want to make money from him, but it may not be easy."

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "If it were someone else, it might be difficult, but if it were Zhang Hanqing, it would be completely possible."

"When Zhang Hanqing came to Shanghai before, he had already reached an agreement with me."

"We, Longmen, cooperate with him, and both sides provide help to each other."

"Besides, Zhang Hanqing also said that if I have any problems, I can go to him."

"Based on my observation of this person, he shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't keep his word, so I'll go talk to him. This matter shouldn't be a big problem."

Xu Wenqiang said: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better."

"The Northeast is a vast land with a large population. Electricity is urgently needed there. If we build a power plant there, we will definitely make a lot of money."

"Even if we give 20% to Zhang Hanqing, there will still be a lot left in our hands."

"It should be enough to support Longmen."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "That's what I think, so let's do it this way. I'll go to the Northeast and find Marshal Zhang to discuss the construction of a power plant with him."

Ding Li was shocked when he heard this and said, "Brother Fei, you are going to the Northeast. If you go to the Northeast, what will happen to Longmen?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Here in Longmen, you and Wen Qiang will watch over it. Although the situation in Shanghai is complicated now, it is basically stable."

"Lu Yongxiang and the Tianlong Society will not attack us in the short term, so we should take advantage of this period of time to recruit manpower like crazy."

"As I said before, within three months, we will increase the number of Longmen to 200,000."

"When the number of people reaches 200,000, we will wipe out Lu Yongxiang and the Tianlong Society in one fell swoop and unify the entire Shanghai."

Xu Wenqiang nodded: "I understand, Brother Fei, you go ahead. I will keep an eye on Longmen. If there is anything, I will report to you at any time."

Ye Yunfei nodded.

Ding Li said, "Brother Fei, how about I go with you? After all, the Northeast is not our territory. We are unfamiliar with the place and I am afraid something might happen."

"The two of us will be safer and we can have someone to look after us."

Xu Wenqiang also said: "Ali is right, let him go with you. Your safety is the first priority now."

Hearing what the two said, Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say, Ali, come with me."

"But in this case, Wen Qiang, you may be under a lot of pressure if you stay in Shanghai, so be careful."

Xu Wenqiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Fei, I can handle it."

Ye Yunfei said: "I will be back in a week at most."

"clear."

After the discussion, Ye Yunfei prepared to set off for the Northeast tomorrow.

……

The next morning.

Ye Yunfei and Ding Li boarded the train to the Northeast.

Ding Li was very excited on the train. He looked around and felt extremely thrilled.

Ye Yunfei said: "Be quiet, don't you see those people around you are treating you like a monkey?"

Ding Li chuckled and said, "Brother Fei, this is my first time riding a train. This train is really fast. It feels like it can run faster than a car."

"Also, sitting in the carriage, there is no shaking at all, which is amazing."

Ye Yunfei said: "How can a train be compared to a car? It takes several days to travel from Shanghai to the Northeast by car."

"But by train, it only takes two days at most, and the journey is smooth."

"When you have the chance in the future, you can take more trains and visit the Republic of China."

“The Republic of China is still very interesting.”

Ding Li said: "Brother Fei, from what you said, you have been to many places in the Republic of China, but I remember that you seemed to have always stayed in Shanghai before. How do you know so much about those places in the Republic of China?"

Ding Li looked at Ye Yunfei curiously.

"Uh……"

Ding Li's question really stumped him.

He had not been to every place in the Republic of China, but before that, he had been to almost every place in Dragon Country.

However, that was almost a hundred years later.

There are definitely some differences between the current Republic of China and the future Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, Ye Yunfei also planned to travel around if he had the chance in the future.

During the Republic of China period, almost everywhere was not polluted and the environment was still very good.

Ye Yunfei said: "Don't worry about my affairs, just stay here honestly. The Republic of China is in chaos everywhere now, and it has left our territory, so be careful and don't cause trouble."

Ding Li has a careless, unstable and impulsive personality, so I still have to talk to him.

Otherwise, if something really happens, it will be difficult to resolve outside.

Safety first.

Ding Li said: "Brother Fei, don't worry, I promise I won't do anything."

"I will be with you all the way. I will do whatever you ask me to do and will never cause any trouble."

"That's good."

Ye Yunfei nodded.

The two chatted and admired the scenery outside the train.

After coming to the Republic of China, it was the first time that Ye Yunfei left Shanghai, so he was quite curious about what the world outside Shanghai was like.

The speed of trains in the Republic of China was actually very average, far inferior to that of the future.

But this is actually quite good, as he has enough time to enjoy the view outside the window.

After Ye Yunfei's observations along the way, he found that there were the most trees where the train passed.

Almost at a glance, you can see that both sides of the train are planted with trees, all kinds of lush green trees, covering the land.

The sky was clear, the air was fresh, and there were very few people.

In short, what he saw was that the Republic of China was beautiful and comfortable.

But there is one thing, and that is poverty.

Throughout the Republic of China, almost every place was filled with houses made of mud that were about to collapse.

Many people couldn't even wear complete clothes, and almost everyone he saw had patches on their bodies.

One can imagine the poverty of the people in the Republic of China.

Ye Yunfei had no choice but to do this. The Republic of China could be said to be the most tragic period, with foreign enemies invading and internal unrest with warlords fighting each other.

Amid internal and external troubles, the common people are the ones who suffer the most.

After two days of traveling, the train finally stopped.

And they arrived at their destination, Fengtian.
