Zhan Tianyou has been in the Northeast for several years, but compared to Tang Shaoyi who came with him, and Yan Fu, his position now seems much insignificant. However, this is just the view of outsiders. After years of training and learning, Zhan Tianyou has become one of the top railway engineers in Northeast China. Just last year, he had just presided over the construction of the railway from Andong to Pyongyang, Seoul, Daejeon, and Busan, North Korea. Another railway, from Vladivostok, through Shuangchengzi, Hunchun, Cheongjin, Wonsan, Seoul, and Daejeon, and finally to Mopo, is also under construction.

However, at this time, Zhan Tianyou was transferred back to the Dashang headquarters. It was said that he had not returned to Dashang for almost two years. The places where he worked on weekdays are now more concentrated in Shengjing, and sometimes he would go to Jilin, Heilongjiang, and even further away places, such as the Northeastern region. [bsp;   When Wang saw Zhan Tianyou, Wang greeted him together. Zhan Tianyou was very happy to see Wang Yi, which was given to him the person he dreamed of.

"Sir seems to have grown taller!" Zhan Tianyou joked.

When he first met Wang Yi, Wang Yi was still a child, and now he is still a young man in his eighteenths of years.

When Wang heard this, he laughed and said, "Juncheng has worked hard all the way, sit down quickly."

"Thank you, sir!"

It happened that Shen Yazhi was there today, so she came over to offer tea. She had also met Zhan Tianyou, and the two of them greeted her.

"How is Juncheng working in North Korea? Are you still used to it?"

"It's great!" Zhan Tianyou smiled. He had dark skin and could see that he had lost a lot of weight than when he met.

Shen Yazhi shook her head and said, "How can I not suffer if I am outside in the wind and sun? You are talking here, I will go and ask the kitchen to prepare a dinner. Wang Yi, let Brother Juancheng live in Ningdao today."

Wang Yiyi thought, okay. Zhan Tianyou naturally agreed. His parents were not in the Northeast, and it was mainly because he was busy every day and had no time to take care of him, so he let his parents stay in his hometown in Anhui. Although he also had a house in the Northeast, there was no one at home and no home taste, so he happily accepted Wang Yi's invitation.

After drinking tea and talking about parting, Wang first asked about North Korea.

"Juncheng, how is North Korea now?"

Zhan Tianyou thought for a while and said, "It's quite stable. Occasionally, some people will cause trouble, mainly because of the family members of the Kaihua Party. However, there are not many responders. With the help of Zhao Ningxia and Kim Yun-sik, the situation in North Korea does not have much turmoil."

"That's good!" Wang nodded and said, "Does the people have a high acceptance of railways? Don't you regard railways as a flood or beast?"

Zhan Tianyou laughed and said, "You really let me tell me! At first, the North Korean people did respect the train like a tiger, but later Kim Ji-young sent some people to tell the principles of the train on the street and gave them a lot of train toys, which made the North Korean people accept the train."

"How is the operation?"

"Although North Korea has established an airship shipping station, its capacity is still very leisurely after all. Coupled with the issue of cost, the number of North Koreans now chooses railway travel. Unless freight is very urgent, most of them choose railway transportation. The problem now is not the excess railway capacity, but the serious shortage."

"This is a problem!" Wang Yi thought about it, and then said: "The only way is the railway at present. It is not realistic to expand the scale. It seems that the construction of the highway should be stepped up."

Zhan Tianyou nodded and agreed with Wang Yi's statement. "By the way, sir, you recalled me from North Korea this time, I don't know what's going on?"

Wang Yi laughed and said, "It depends on what you are anxious about. This is the case. Recently, we have taken on some railway construction business and there is a shortage of staff here, so I think of you."

"So that's how it is." Zhan Tianyou suddenly realized and said, "Where are you going to where your sir is going to send me?"

"This time, it's a little longer..."

"It's okay, sir, just order."

"Taiwan! And then Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos."

Zhan Tianyou knew that Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos have now become the territory of the Northeast, but Taiwan is still under the jurisdiction of the Qing court. Do they go to build the railway by themselves?

"Don't worry, Taiwan is Liu Mingchuan, the governor of Fujian, invited us to go. If you have any worries, you should treat Taiwan as our own territory, and you don't have to think about anything else. Just do whatever you should do."

"clear……"

Five days later, Zhan Tianyou took a Da Shang airship from Yingkou, first to Jeju Island, then Okinawa, and finally reached Keelung, Taiwan. At present, this is a fixed route, and there is a round trip every day as long as the weather allows.

When leaving the airship, Zhan Tianyou did not expect that Yan Fu, the commander-in-chief of the Da Shang Nanyang Fleet, would come to greet him.

"Several, why are you, a busy man, here to greet me in person?"

Although the two had not seen each other for two or three years, they never stopped their letters. As soon as they met, they were very enthusiastic. There was also a middle-aged man standing beside Yan Fu, dressed up in a Qing Dynasty and was quite powerful.

"This one is..."

Yan Fu slapped his forehead and smiled and said, "Blame me, blame me, I was so excited just now. Let me introduce this person, Liu Mingchuan, Lord Liu. Lord Liu, he is what I mentioned to you, our leading railway expert in Northeast China, Zhan Tianyou and Zhan Juancheng."

"Hello, Lord Liu!" Zhan Tianyou bowed his hand.

Liu Mingchuan was obviously used to the interests of the Northeast and smiled and said, "I heard about Daming for a long time, and I heard that Juan Cheng is also from Anhui?"

"Yes, my hometown is Anhui Wu (bsp;    "It's true, my hometown is Hefei, Anhui."

"So it turns out that he is a fellow countryman with Lord Li Hongzhang!"

Being in the same hometown as Li Hongzhang is also something that Liu Mingchuan is proud of. And he and Zhan Tianyou are also fellow townsmen, so naturally they have a bit of closeness.

Yan Fu smiled and said, "This place is not a place to speak. Lord Liu, Juncheng, let's go to the city first."

Liu Mingchuan was talking to Zhan Tianyou until he forgot about this matter and said with a smile: "If it weren't for a few reminders, I would have been rude. In this way, today I will be the host, so everyone will go to the best Wangxiang Building in Taipei without getting drunk!"

When I went to Taipei to survey the railway route, of course, it was impossible for Zhan Tianyou to come by himself. He was also following a team of more than 20 people. Liu Mingchuan was generous. He was there every bite and asked for it all today.

Speaking of which, Liu Mingchuan has done a lot in Taiwan in the past two years. He originally wanted to build a navy in Taiwan, but he was the poor Qing Dynasty, so he naturally could not allow it. From 1884 to 1885, he successively purchased several small boats from the newly built Taiwan shipyard of Dashang, which were specially used for arrest, transportation and public information. He also barges for transporting artillery and placing mines. He built a machine factory in Taipei, made homemade guns and bullets, and prepared to build a large machine factory to manufacture artillery shells, and at the same time set up military equipment.

The Instrument and Gunpowder Bureau later started to strengthen the forts in Anping, Banner, Tamsui, Magong, Xiyu, and Dacheng North, equipped with powerful cannons, and the firepower was increased several times. The Mine Bureau and Mine Battalion were set up in Tamsui, so that mines and the forts could be used together. In addition, he also carried out military reorganization and training. All defense forces were switched to foreign guns, hired Dazhuang teachers, and strengthened training. The General Battalion Affairs Office was set up in Taipei to control the military affairs of the entire Taiwan. With his vigorous rectification, Taiwan's defense was becoming increasingly fulfilled.

In addition, it is to encourage businesses. With the help of Dashang, they reopened Keelung coal mines and introduced new equipment. They currently produce more than 10,000 kilograms of coal per day. They set up an official sulfur factory in Shanghai, and made a lot of profits by boiling them in the new method. At the same time, they borrowed loans from Dashang Bank to set up an official machine sawmill to provide sleepers for the railway. In the same year, the Kerosene Bureau was set up to produce kerosene, camphor monopoly bureau, and shipping company.

Police were established in Taipei, merchants were organized to establish Xingshi companies and shops. In addition, generators were introduced from Dashang, power plants were built, street lights were built, new public water wells were dug, the first steam road mill was purchased, and an institution specializing in the city was set up.

Liu Mingchuan's policy of pacifying the foreign countries was to use both kindness and power, and to use both suppression and power. If the kindness and power were not followed, he would carry out the powerful and suppression. After the powerful and power, he would still be pacified and banned. If any officials abused the foreign people and the Han people seized foreign land, they would be punished and prohibited, and they would never be favored. The foreign people robbed and killed the residents and did not listen to the instructions, and then they would be in power with their troops. In 1885, the first Fubei North Road, Malayan, southeast of Tamsui, made a provision for him and ordered his children to study in the city, and the pheasant was born in the foreign land, and each was born in his own industry, and the military and civilians were not allowed to invade.

In 1885, during the whole year, Liu Mingchuan recruited more than 400 Fans and naturalized more than 70,000 people. In the spring and summer of 1886, there were 218 Fu in the back mountain, more than 50,000 Fans, more than 260 Fu in the front mountain, more than 38,000 Fans and hundreds of thousands of acres of pastoral land. At the same time, he recruited the poor in Fujian to expand their cultivation, so that Fans and the people of the mainland lived together, gradually changed their customs, and at the same time improved their economic situation, so that "wewing and weaving themselves, and wealth and wealth were self-cultivating."

At the end of 1885, the General Administration of Fucheng and Reclamation of Taiwan was established, with Lin Weiyuan as the general office. The three routes of the south, north and east were divided into Fucheng and branch offices. The Fucheng and branch offices were established in various important foreign areas such as Dakegang, Dongshijiao, Pulishe, Suao, Hualien and other places. There were doctors, farming, reading and other personnel, and opened charity schools to teach foreigners and boys to study. In addition, a special foreign school was set up in Taipei to provide them with food and clothing, teach them Chinese, arithmetic, Mandarin, Taiwanese, and daily etiquette, and often let them contact the Han people to play a subtle role. They were allowed to eliminate suspicions and not regard themselves as aliens. In order to comfort the family, Liu Mingchuan said, "Three relatives were out of the territory, were in danger, and did not ride and were entrusted. They did not know how leisurely they were, and what they were determined to be far away."

Before coming, Wang Yi introduced the situation in Taiwan to Zhan Tianyou. If Liu Mingchuan hadn't been a member of the hardcore Huai Army, Zhan Tianyou would have thought that this person was an undercover agent of Da Shang.

At the dinner table, Liu Mingchuan introduced the situation to Zhan Tianyou.

"At present, there are two prefectures and eight counties in Taiwan. I intend to follow the provincial construction regulations. Changhua is located in the center of the island and the plain is spacious. It is designated as the provincial capital. The capital is called Taiwan Prefecture, and Guoshou County is attached to Taiwan County. It is also east of Chiayi and south of Changhua. It is about a hundred miles long. It is divided into Miaoli County, and the southern department of Hsinchu is divided into Miaoli County, and the southern department of the Nandi Department is Taitung. Before the provincial capital was established, Taipei was close to Fuzhou and Taipei was first used as the governance center. Therefore, there are three prefectures in Taiwan, which have always been under the jurisdiction of prefectures, twelve counties, and five departments, and are divided into borders and are now in its initial scale."

Zhan Tianyou had the map of Taiwan given to him by Yan Fu, and Liu Mingchuan was shocked when he saw it. This was much more intuitive than the map in his hand.
