Early the next morning, the army set off again, but this time, Li Jie did not set off with the patrol battalion, but went north with Da Jinli to Qiqihar.
The official office of the governor of Heilongjiang is located in Qiqihar. At the same time, it is also the permanent residence of Dajinli.
Two years ago, Da Jinli brought a group of people back to Lao Jingou. After making arrangements for Lao Jingou, he took his family and some people to Qiqihar.
Two years later, he has established a firm foothold in the local area. He not only opened a medicine shop, but also a pawn shop and a gold shop, becoming a well-known big businessman in Qiqihar.
This time, it was Dajinli who came forward to contract the Duobaoshan copper mine.
Compared with when they came, there was no material burden on the return trip. A few days later, Li Jie and Da Jinli returned to Qiqihar.
When the big black girl saw Li Jie coming, she immediately entertained him with great enthusiasm, because she knew very well that their ability to live a stable and prosperous life depended entirely on Li Jie.
If it hadn't been for Li Jie's help, the grass on their mother and son's graves would have been several feet high.
Da Hei girl didn't know much about what her son was doing, so when she was present, Li Jie and Da Jinli were very careful and did not talk about some sensitive topics. At most, they only talked about the recent business of various trading houses. how.
During dinner in the evening, the big black girl took her young son and daughter out of the dining room very wisely, leaving the scene to her son and Li Jie.
When Li Jie saw this, he couldn't help but glance at the big gold particles and asked.
"Does your mother know what you usually do?"
Da Jinli looked confused and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although I didn't say it, judging from my mother's behavior, maybe she has already guessed some of the facts. At least she should know about what happened in Lao Jingou."
"As for the rest, I don't think my mother is very clear about it."
Li Jie nodded slightly. Da Jinli had not been professionally trained. It was normal for him to occasionally reveal some clues. And Da Hei Yatou was an extremely smart woman. It was not surprising that she could glean part of the truth from it.
However, Li Jie is not worried about this, because the big black girl is a smart person. She must know what to ask and what to say. If she was stupid, she would have been eaten even to the bones when she was in Laojingou. None left.
"Usually pay more attention, sometimes the more you know, it will harm them."
Upon hearing this, Da Jinli immediately stood up and bowed.
"Yes! I will definitely pay attention to it in the future!"
"It's not necessary. I'm not blaming you when I say this." Li Jie waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care. Then he changed the topic and his tone suddenly became much more serious.
"Da Jinli, how long have you been following me?"
"four years ago!"
Li Jie nodded and continued: "I think with your intelligence, you should have guessed what I plan to do in the future, right?"
Upon hearing this, Da Jinli looked startled at first, after all, the words came a bit suddenly, but when he came to his senses, his mood became excited again.
In the past countless days and nights, he had imagined the current scene countless times.
What the boss has done in recent years has not been hidden from him at all. No matter how stupid he is, he has guessed the boss's purpose.
To describe it in one sentence, this is Sima Zhao’s heart, and everyone on the street knows it.
rebel!
Create a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty!
Although he knew that rebels would be beheaded, Da Jinli was not afraid. The corrupt Qing court should have died long ago!
If the imperial court was not too incompetent, how could their family end up in Laojingou?
In the Northeast, there are thousands of families like them, or even worse than them, but not everyone is lucky enough to meet a boss like Li Jie.
Looking at the excited look of Da Jinli, Li Jie smiled and said frankly.
"It seems you have guessed it."
"Yes, I have been preparing for one thing these years. This thing is to replace the weak Qing government and protect the three eastern provinces. In the past few years, the Russo-Japanese War, many families lost their wives and children because of this war. Separated, families were broken up and people died.”
"But what did the Qing government do?"
"Are you going to make a statement so brazenly that you remain neutral?"
"It's so ridiculous!"
"The Maozi and the Japanese are fighting in China, and the imperial court is licking its face and remaining neutral?"
"I think this court should have died long ago!"
Da Jinli blurted out: "That's right! The Qing Dynasty should have died long ago!"
"Don't get excited, sit down first." Li Jie pointed to the chair and continued: "Having said that, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has occupied China for more than two hundred years and can still survive for a few more years."
"Right now, we are not strong enough to raise the flag of rebellion, so we still need to tolerate it for a few more years."
"By the way, one thing I didn't tell you before is that the Duobaoshan Copper Mine is a very large mineral deposit. Even if you look at the world, it is a rich ore with huge reserves. In the future, this will be the raw material base for the bullet production line."
Da Jinli stood up again, patted his chest and promised.
"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely guard this place for you. If anyone wants to rob it, they have to step over my body!"
"sit down!"
Da Jinli secretly glanced at the serious-looking boss and immediately sat down obediently.
Li Jie glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "I'm telling you this, not to ask you to work hard. The point is that I plan to build an arsenal here specifically for the production of artillery shells."
"Duobao Mountain is located in a remote area, surrounded by wasteland and jungle, which is just right for building a hidden factory."
"After you win the mining rights, you can take your manpower to explore the surrounding areas and find a suitable place. You should do the preliminary preparations first. I will write to you what needs to be done specifically."
Da Jinli said seriously: "Yes! I promise to complete the mission!"
Li Jie smiled and nodded. Immediately, he remembered that the big black girl had found him before and asked him for help. Now that the business was done, it was time to talk about it.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about the business, let's talk about your personal affairs. It's been several years, and you still haven't talked about your last marriage. Why, you didn't like her?"
Hearing these words, Da Jinli suddenly had a bitter look on his face. He had been curious before about why his mother secretly found the boss. It turned out to be for this matter.
In these years, the reason why he did not get married was just because he was waiting for someone else.
However, the other party should have been here long ago, but he has not yet been seen.
This wait lasted several years.
If it were someone else who asked, Da Jinli would definitely not tell the truth, but the person who asked was Li Jie, and he didn't want to deceive the boss.
"Boss, I..."
Just when Da Jinli was about to express his feelings, Li Jie's voice reached his ears before he could speak.
"Forget about that woman."
Da Jinli looked shocked: "Boss? How do you know?"
Li Jie sighed: "Actually, I didn't plan to tell you this matter, but now that things have happened, I think it's time to tell you the truth."
