Although Yan Guang once announced that he would build a highway from Chengdu to Chongqing, not many people in Sichuan were willing to believe it. In their opinion, this highway would stop at most if it was built for more than ten kilometers, or even three or five kilometers.

However, in the second year, in April 1911, when Yan Guang's company headquarters was officially completed, and Governor Zhao Erfeng and the prefect Yu Zongtong personally congratulated each other, the residents of Sichuan discovered that the road had been completed nearly 100 kilometers, or one-third...

In other words, this road can be completed in just three years or even two years.

So the project that was ridiculed by the people soon caused a sensation in Sichuan, then a sensation in China, and finally even spread to European countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

A cement concrete road with a width of 5 meters and a thickness of 20 cm may be only at the level of a third-class road in later generations, but in this era when there were not many motor vehicles, it was absolutely advanced.

Compared with Mexico cities where asphalt pavement can be claimed to be the best pavement, Yan Guang's highway, with a total length of nearly 300 kilometers, can be called a highway.

However, just as Shubao, Shenbao, Newspaper and Ta Kung Pao sent reporters to Sichuan and were amazed at the highway built by the Chinese, newspapers in the United States and Europe were sarcasticating.

"Designed for motor vehicles, but not for motor vehicles."

"The perfect road, it's a pity that the users only have cattle and horses..."

European and American newspapers were sarcastic and sighed at the fate of this highway, because for a long time in the future, only ox carts and horse carriages will be used...

Even some domestic newspapers are sighing.

For example, Shubao, because it has a good geographical location, you can visit this highway as soon as possible.

While the reporter from Shu Daily was amazed at the highway, he also asked such questions.

"Since we can spend millions to build a road that only uses ox and horse carriages, why not build more secondary roads?"

Although in a sense, Shubao's view makes sense, Yan Guang still felt so angry that his toothache when he saw it.

However, it was thanks to these reporters that Yan Guang's past was soon excavated. For example, more than 100 inventions of that year, rubber stocks in London, and finally the oil field in Mexico, as well as cooperation with Standard Petroleum, etc.

Of course, the content of the cooperation with Standard Oil is confidential, and even journalists in the United States cannot find out.

But even so, all of this is still quite amazing when it is superimposed. Even Zhao Erfeng and Yu Zongtong did not expect that this young man who is very kind on weekdays would have such a brilliant history.

Especially in the Mexican oil field, after asking a few people who are familiar with it, Zhao Erfeng and others found that Yan Guang's net worth must be calculated at least tens of millions, and his annual income may be several million...

In other words, the benefits Yan Guang gave them at the beginning could only be described as drizzle.

Although Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng can understand the mentality of not being exposed, whenever Yan Guang only gave him a little drizzle, the feeling of dissatisfaction still occupies his heart.

In fact, although he knew that the road protection campaign would break out soon, and he had always abide by the law. Unless he insisted on picking the bones in the eggs, there would be no problem, but Yan Guang was still worried that these two people would disgust him.

But soon, Yan Guang's problem disappeared because Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng were transferred...

Not to mention Yu Zongtong for now, after quelling the rebellion of **, Zhao Erfeng was a governor in Sichuan for a long time and made outstanding contributions. In addition, the highway incident was very obvious, so the Qing court decided to transfer Zhao Erfengping to the governor of Liangjiang.

Let’s not mention anything else. Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong have all served as governors of Liangjiang, and Zhao Erfeng’s own abilities may not be as good as the five above, but he is definitely a capable minister, so it is appropriate to transfer to Liangjiang.

As for Yu Zongtong, although this time it was also a transfer, he was no longer transferred to the provincial government. Therefore, although he did not improve in terms of grades and positions, there was no longer a governor to suppress him, and at least he could feel much more comfortable...

So, before these two people could even disgust Yan Guang, they were about to leave Sichuan...

"Boss, good things!" After learning that Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng were going to transfer from Sichuan, Song Dinghan hurried to Yan Guang's office.

"Is it the transfer of Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng?" Yan Guang, who was lying on the sofa reading a newspaper, asked without raising his head.

In this era, Yan Guang found that he seemed to have no other way of entertainment except reading books and newspapers.

In fact, he still really wants to play mahjong with his subordinates, just treating it as a waste of time, but he doesn't know why his subordinates say they won't play with him even if they die...

"You already know?"

"Of course." Yan Guang took a sip of juice after putting down the newspaper. "It is indeed a good thing. At least those two people will not cause trouble for us. If they are missing the two of them, there will be much less obstacles to rebel in the future."

There is a lack of obstacle during the revolutionary uprising, of course, one reason is that Yan Guang does not want to kill Zhao Erfeng.

In Yan Guang's view, if Zhao Erfeng did not have the bloody murder in his later years, he could have called him a national hero by relying on the ten words "Is it a pleasure to have friends from afar" engraved on ** and the money left below. "The first-class Qing Dynasty, with a peach feather with both eyes, and the imperial envoy Zhao Erfeng, personally visited the boundary and carved stone..."

"By the way, have you found out who the new Sichuan Governor is?" This is indeed very important. If it is an ordinary guy, it is easy to say, if it is a troublesome guy...

"There is no definite news yet, but there is news that it is likely that it is Zhang Renjun..."

"Zhang Renjun?" Yan Guang had never heard of this person.

"It's the original Governor of Liangjiang." Song Dinghan explained. "It is said that there may be some problems during his tenure, so he was transferred to Sichuan this time." He also smiled. "In fact, the Governor of Sichuan is much more idle than the Governor of Liangjiang. You must know that we Sichuan do not have a governor..." Because the Governor of Sichuan and the Governor of Sichuan serve as the Governor of Sichuan...

"No matter what, this person is obviously much easier to deal with than Zhao Erfeng..." Zhao Erfeng brought people to quell the rebellion and was called the general in the army. In comparison, Zhang Renjun...

At least Yan Guang had never heard of this person.
