"Great." Zhao Shouhong slapped his thigh excitedly: "I will definitely not let Mr. Sun lose the money, but I have an idea. I wonder if Mr. Sun is willing?"

"I would like to hear the details." Sun Zhenze also became energetic, and wanted to hear what this talented Daotai master had to say.

Zhao Shouhong said: "The road has not yet started to be built, and the road between Ankang Road and the outside world is not smooth. If we just buy furs, we can not make much money. If we directly set up a livestock farm in Xijiang, not only Sell ​​furs, but also meat."

"Your Excellency, you mean to drive the live animals raised there to Shudu, and then slaughter them for their skins?" Sun Zhenze felt that this was not feasible, because it was cheaper to buy furs from the Tibetans than to produce them himself.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said, "No, I know what you think. It is true that it will be cheaper to buy the furs from the foreigners directly, but once the road between Ankang Road and the outside world is completed, the price of furs will naturally rise, and Mr. Sun will make a profit." Not so much. If we run our own ranch, we will be able to control the supply of goods, and then I will directly set up a factory in Xijiang, which can not only tan leather, but also make ready-made leather shoes. In addition, we can make canned meat from livestock and sell it to the outside world. Earn more."

Sun Zhenze frowned and said, "The canned food you are talking about is the iron canned food from the Europeans? It's just that the price of iron in China is quite high, and the cost of making canned food is too high."

Unexpectedly, Sun Zhenze actually knew the tin cans that are only used for military rations in Europa. It seems that he is not a local businessman who only knows how to make money, and he seems to have some foresight.For this businessman, Zhao Shouhong became more interested in cooperation, and he said with a smile: "My idea is not to make tin cans, we can use clay pots instead of tin cans, although they are not strong, they can also be sealed, and the cost is less greatly reduced."

"That's right, I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful idea, and grass people are not as good." Sun Zhenze said with a smile: "In that case, I will go back to Ankang Road with you to inspect the place, and build a factory in a few days." The next morning, Zhao Shouhong was very excited. I had breakfast early and was ready to go back to Batang County. This time going back is not as easy as when I came here.

I loaded several carts with the seeds and chickens I purchased for my own military farm. In addition, there were accompanying staff and some newly recruited staff, plus some personnel and machinery to be relocated from the Armed Forces Academy and the Machinery Bureau. The entire convoy was quite impressive. .For this reason, Xiliang also specially approved two patrol battalions to provide temporary guards for Zhao Shouhong, which can be regarded as taking care of personal relationships.

However, these are not the most shocking. As soon as Zhao Shouhong and his party left the city gate, they saw a huge convoy that was not inferior to their own. At this time, Sun Zhenze was standing in front of the convoy with a smile, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Shouhong and his party. arrival.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong coming on horseback, Sun Zhenze first cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Daotai is indeed on time."

"Unfortunately, it's still too late. Boss Sun has been waiting for a long time." Zhao Shouhong dismounted and smiled at Sun Zhenze.

"Master Daotai is the first official to treat businessmen with such courtesy. This time I have mobilized all the funds, and I am going to fight with you. I hope you will not be offended." Sun Zhenze said.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said: "If a country wants to be rich and strong, businessmen play a very important role, so I have always opposed discrimination against businessmen. Since Boss Sun is so optimistic about me this time, I will naturally not let you down. Everyone will also It’s really troublesome to meet each other often, so how about me talking to Boss Sun?” Zhao Shouhong has always been accustomed to the high status of businessmen in later generations, and is quite dissatisfied with the current practice of emphasizing agriculture and business, so These businessmen do not discriminate in any way.

Sun Zhenze was taken aback: "Don't dare, dare, the adults are so self-deprecating, the little old man is terrified."

However, Zhao Shouhong didn't have the consciousness of underestimating his status. He said, "You don't need to be so polite. Boss Sun has grown up on me a lot. I'll call you Uncle Sun in the future. You can just call me Nephew Zhao." Seeing Sun Zhenze Still wanting to evade, Zhao Shouhong said: "Okay, it's getting late, let's set off quickly." After finishing speaking, he was about to get on his horse and set off.

Sun Zhenze's face first showed fear, then surprise, and finally excitement.He said to the person behind him: "In this case, Yu Ting, you should come and see your brother."

"Yu Ting has met my brother." A clear and pleasant voice came, and a young man in a robe turned around from behind Sun Zhenze and bowed down to Zhao Shouhong who had already mounted his horse.

"Oh? It turns out that Uncle Sun also brought your son. It's good to get familiar with the business, so that Uncle Sun won't be too tired. It's getting late, let's go on the road first, and we will talk about it when we get to the campsite." After speaking, Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and directed the team to go forward.

Sun Zhenze looked at the young man behind him, then at Zhao Shouhong, and shook his head with a wry smile, but the young man covered his mouth and smiled, reminding Sun Zhenze that it was time to leave.The Sun family's convoy followed Zhao Shouhong's brigade and started slowly.

Chapter 25 Camp Talk

Today's Zhongchuan has no railway network and road network that will extend in all directions in the future. All the roads are dirt roads with potholes. It is difficult for a four-wheeled carriage to run on such terrain, so the most common ones here are two-wheelers with strong off-road ability but low load capacity. Wheel cart.

Zhao Shouhong's convoy is full of these two-wheeled carts, most of which are loaded with machinery and various raw materials. In addition, Zhao Shouhong also took care of the craftsmen and bought them some carts with sheds. Zhao Shouhong, in the name of camping and training, let the students of the Armed Forces Academy run straight ahead.

"My lord, it's not good to do this. The students of the Armed Forces Academy let them run forward, but let the low-status craftsmen ride in the car. Those students will have objections." Xie Mingjue, who was in charge of the relocation of the Armed Forces Academy, was also in the team. At this time Seeing this situation, he urged his mount to run two steps faster with a whip, and caught up with Zhao Shouhong who was at the head of the team.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Why do you have an opinion? They are soldiers, and soldiers can't be pampered, otherwise how can they fight on the battlefield? As for those craftsmen, their most useful thing is their craftsmanship, not their physical strength. I just want to establish a concept for them. Craftsmen The status is not low, and the officers are not delicate, after all, they are still soldiers."

"It's been a long time, I'm afraid those students will have ideas." Xie Mingjue was very embarrassed.

"How about this, when you are resting, you gather all the students together, and I will give them a speech." Zhao Shouhong said: "Go and see where Zhang Liewu has gone, I am still waiting for him to report to the Machinery Bureau Condition."

"Here it is, my lord." Zhang Liewu just rode up to catch up at this time: "I just went to see if the machine lashing on the cart is secure. It seems to be in good condition now, but the drill presses that cannot be dismantled are too heavy. I think the draft horses need to be used in rotation, otherwise those horses will be easily injured."

"How many good things did you get from the Machinery Bureau? Do you have detailed data?" Zhao Shouhong said.

"Yes, the main components of 137 various types of machine tools and twelve water turbines are on the vehicle. Others such as steam engines, boilers, and water wheel power parts of water turbines are too large, so we have to wait for them to be disassembled, or use The waterway transportation has passed, and there are dozens of tons of raw materials waiting to be shipped in the original factory." Zhang Liewu didn't need to read any information, and just opened his mouth to talk, which shows that he has a strong ability to handle affairs.

"How many craftsmen are there?" Zhao Shouhong didn't have much interest in those outdated machines, he paid more attention to talents.

"There are more than 1000 craftsmen of all kinds, and they have already followed, but there is no power now. It may take some time for these machines to run." Zhao Shouhong was very happy to have so many craftsmen joining. As for the power system It's also easy to solve, he can ask Shen Ruoxue to use the shuttle to transport it a few times.

However, steam power and water power have relatively large limitations, and Zhao Shouhong prefers to use advanced electric power systems.Of course, this is just Zhao Shouhong's idea. Now his career is just a start-up, and he does not have such a high ability, and the area he has mastered does not have the conditions.

The distance from Shudu to Batang County is not close, and it will take at least ten days to walk at this speed. There is no need to hurry, so on the first day, we only camped as far as the sun was setting.The brigade set up camp and placed two patrol battalions on the periphery for vigilance, while Zhao Shouhong first kept all the students from the Armed Forces Academy.

Seeing more than 100 students lined up neatly and with neat military appearance, Zhao Shouhong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I let you walk today, how do you feel?" No one answered Zhao Shouhong's words, so he looked at those The student said again: "Everyone can speak freely without any restrictions. I will not punish anyone for speaking out."

"My lord, there is something I don't understand." A student finally had the courage to ask.

"Speak, I will give you a satisfactory answer." Zhao Shouhong squinted his eyes, and finally someone was willing to speak, so he naturally wanted to encourage him.

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with us walking. If soldiers can't even march, how can they fight? But let those craftsmen ride in cars, and we march, I can't figure it out." The students finally expressed the thoughts in everyone's mind. This made Zhao Shouhong very happy. This is what he wanted.

"What's your name? Where are you from?" Zhao Shouhong asked after admiring this bold student.

If it is a person who is deeply rooted in officialdom, he would hesitate because he is afraid of revenge, but this student who is only in his teens obviously doesn't have that much thought, he said directly: "My name is Liu Yuanxun, and I am from Anren Town, Dayi County. .”

"Liu Yuanxun?" Zhao Shouhong's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Are you 19 years old?"

"Yes, I don't know how the general manager knew?" Liu Yuanxun was quite surprised. He knew that he definitely didn't know the general manager, but he didn't know how the other party could understand him in such detail.

Zhao Shouhong was excited when he heard it, he never expected to meet a celebrity he dreamed of in just one lecture.Before coming to this era, what he said to Chen Ning, "The war of resistance will be unswerving to the end, that is, the enemy army will not withdraw from the country for a day, and the Sichuan army will never return home!" King Zhongchuan said that Zhao Shouhong was very sure of his patriotism.

Zhao Shouhong, who was stunned for a long time, suddenly found that all the students were looking at him with strange eyes, and then he realized that he was a little rude.He coughed twice and said, "You're asking a good question, so let me ask you what a craftsman does?"

"Of course it's a workmanship." Liu Yuanxun replied a little puzzled.

"Yes, those craftsmen rely on their dexterous hands to make weapons for you, why do you ask them to walk like you?" Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said: "I know what you think, you think the status of craftsmen is low, and they shouldn't The conditions are better than yours, but I want to tell you that you are very wrong. In fact, you should thank those craftsmen. It is their efforts that keep you from being bare-handed when facing the enemy. It is precisely because of their efforts that That’s why the army has inexhaustible ammunition.”

"What I want to tell you today is that my subordinates must understand my rules. In my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. Everyone is equal. Everyone has their own strengths, and craftsmen can also Taking a car has nothing to do with status. It’s the same in the military. Officers and soldiers are equal and have no privileges. I don’t care what kind of army you go to after you leave the Armed Forces School. I don’t care what kind of system other armies have. It is consistent from top to bottom. Even if you practice in the training center under my subordinates, you are not allowed to beat and scold soldiers, and if a superior officer beats and scolds you, you can also complain to me." Zhao Shouhong changed the subject and said: "Of course if It was you who made trouble on the training ground and got beaten, I will not favor you."

Chapter 26 Dressing up as a man

Zhao Shouhong's words caused the students below to burst into laughter, and then Zhao Shouhong's tone suddenly changed into a serious one: "Everyone is learning new things, and you should have a clear understanding of the old master's remarks about dividing people into three, six, and nine grades. What? What is called rank, what is mean? Does a person have a problem with his character when he becomes a craftsman, and his status is low? But in the eyes of those old masters, the status of soldiers is also low. Where do you put yourself? Everyone go back Think about it carefully. Is it necessary for these corrupt and outdated hierarchical concepts to exist. You will know in the future that inequality is prohibited under my rule. Whoever doesn’t like it can drop out of school, but those who want to stay must obey."

After dismissing all the students, Zhao Shouhong called the instructors over. "You are all the backbone of the Armed Forces Academy, so I won't say much about it. In the future, everyone's salary will be doubled, and I, Zhao Shouhong, will make up for it."

Under heavy rewards, there must be a brave man. Zhao Shouhong did this first, and immediately won the support of all the instructors.One of the instructors cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir, I will do my best to help you train the students." The other instructors also expressed that they would do their best.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Actually, what I said to the students just now counts for you. I hope you can change the bad habits of the past and train me a group of real new-style officers." Zhao Shouhong asked, and it turned out that All these officers have returned from studying abroad, but only two of them studied in the White Eagle Country, and the rest are all from Japan.

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "In the future, I will expand the military training school and establish a non-commissioned officer school. Naturally, there will be a huge shortage of instructors. You can write to your classmates and invite them to come to be instructors. I will hire them with a high salary. In addition, for every instructor you bring me, I will give you 50 taels of silver, and I will never break my promise."

"Your Excellency's words are serious?" an instructor was very excited when he heard this.In this day and age, 50 taels of silver is not a small amount, it is enough for them to spend half a month in the best restaurant in Sichuan.

"Of course, as long as the people you recruit are indeed overseas students. Regardless of the major, I will send them according to the price, and I will do what I say." Zhao Shouhong spares no effort in investing in talents.Sending off these joyful instructors, Zhao Shouhong strolled towards the place where Sun Zhenze was stationed, and he should be more concerned about this businessman who took the initiative to cooperate with him.Just as he walked to the largest tent, a young man rushed out and bumped into Zhao Shouhong.

"Ah." A clear and gentle female voice came, Zhao Shouhong only felt a lump of soft flesh hit his chest, and he took a step back in surprise.

"Yuting, what happened?" While talking, Sun Zhenze also came out, seeing Zhao Shouhong, he cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that Nephew Zhao is here, please come in."

"This." Zhao Shouhong saw clearly that the young man was the man called Yu Ting introduced by Sun Zhenze before he set off, and he said a little bit tongue-tied: "This is, this is..."

Seeing the stunned Zhao Shouhong and the blushing young man, Sun Zhenze laughed and said, "I made Nephew Zhao laugh, this is my only daughter, Sun Yuting, who was dressed as a man for the convenience of going out. Didn't you introduce it?"

"Ah?" Zhao Shouhong was taken aback. He saw that he was dressed in men's clothing in the morning, and thought that the other party was Yu Ting, the son of Sun Zhenze.In the end, he didn't expect that he had heard it wrong. His name was Yu Ting, not a son but a daughter. Thinking of the soft feeling he bumped into just now, he couldn't help feeling a little hot on his face.
