Just a few days after Zhao Shouhong's birth-encouraging policy was promulgated, the imperial court also promulgated a "Regulations on the Currency System". The promulgation of this regulation heralded the beginning of the unified currency system of the Later Jin Empire.According to the regulations, the national currency unit of Houjin will be yuan, the main currency will be seven cents and two cents, and the auxiliary coins will be silver, nickel and copper coins.

Among them, there are silver coins of [-] cents, [-] cents and [-] cents, [-] cent and [-] cents, and so on. Tianfeng City Mint will trial-produce a set of later gold and silver coins in round units, and strive to replace them on the market within ten years. of all currencies.

As soon as this regulation came out, there were signs of a run on banknotes everywhere. Taking this opportunity, Zhao Shouhong also accelerated the speed of using banknotes to exchange for silver from foreign banks.

Zhao Shouhong knew that the unification of the currency system of the Houjin Dynasty in history was destined to be short-lived, and the Houjin Dynasty would perish before the real unified currency system.Therefore, Zhao Shouhong didn't care about the court's regulations, and still let the Zhongchuan Industrial and Commercial Bank use Yingyang as the basic currency until he was able to print his own banknotes.

Before planning to leave Zhongchuan, Zhao Shouhong was worried about the small shipyard secretly built by Ningyuan Office.Therefore, after Zhao Erxun handed over to Zhao Erfeng and left Zhongchuan to take office in the three provinces of Mingbei, he brought his two wives to Ningyuan hall in person.

Hearing that Zhao Shouhong was here, the current Jianchang Daotai Xie Mingjue also came to Ningyuan Hall from Yazhou immediately, and inspected various factories with Zhao Shouhong.Several managers in charge of various factories in the Ningyuan Hall came to greet them, and the group arrived just after Zhao Shouhong entered Xingyuan.

"My lord, why don't you let me know when you're here, so we can go and greet you." As soon as he entered the door, Wang Bailing was guilty. His patrol battalion was stationed in the Ningyuan Hall and was in charge of local security, so he got the news the fastest.

"What? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you kid also learned how to welcome and send you in the officialdom?" Zhao Shouhong laughed and scolded: "If you dare to play with me with these false rituals, be careful that I will kick your ass." A group of students are very familiar with Zhao Shouhong, and they are used to fighting.

"Don't worry, I'm a supervisor now anyway, boss, you have to save me some face." After spending a long time in the military training school, he also followed the biochemical human instructors and called the boss Zhao Shouhong.

"You are always out of shape. I really don't know why the boss made you the supervisor." Gao Yuhan, another supervisor of the patrol battalion, laughed.

"How is it? Are you still used to being stationed in the Ningyuan Hall?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

"Boss, let's switch defenses. I asked to switch to Xijiang. You can see how energetic Suo Langwangdui is. His independent division is doing well in Xijiang, and he can beat the little lord from time to time. The two of us haven't even seen the bandits in Ningyuan Hall for so long, we're bored to death." Wang Boling said.

"Be content, I've protected the boss for so long, nothing happened. I almost don't know what the smell of gunpowder smoke is, or we two change." Wang Lingji, who has been promoted to the commander of the security battalion, said, he called Qu Very disdainful.

"Forget it, it's up to you to protect the boss." Wang Boling waved his hand.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Both of you, be honest with me and train your troops well. When you will fight in the future. The independent divisions in Suolangwangdui in the western Xinjiang are all Tibetan soldiers. Where do they adapt to the climate? You used to struggle to breathe, let alone fight."

After appeasing the two supervisors, Zhao Shouhong greeted several managers.Seeing Zhao Shouhong approaching, the managers saluted one after another.Zhao Shouhong said: "You don't have to be polite, tell me about the recent production situation, if there is anything lacking, just tell me, I will solve it as soon as possible."

"My lord, the daily output of steel in the iron and steel plant has reached [-] tons, which is enough to supply factories everywhere. When the second phase of the project is completed, the output should be doubled." Sun Shaoping, who is in charge of the iron and steel plant, was the first old man who followed Zhao Shouhong Qualified, he is naturally the first to speak.

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "Steel production is enough for now, but we need to seize the time to expand production. I hope that within four years, the daily production of steel can reach [-] tons."

"Hiss." Sun Shaoping took a deep breath, this request seemed too high.However, this requirement can still be achieved as long as the capital investment continues.

"The production of the pharmaceutical factory is in short supply, and the orders have been scheduled until the end of the year. I think the pharmaceutical factory should vigorously expand production." Xiang Songmao is the manager of Zhongchuan Pharmaceutical Factory.Now his pharmaceutical factory is the most profitable among all the factories.

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "Funding is not a problem. You should try your best to train skilled workers and expand the industry as much as possible. I will guarantee sufficient funds. As long as there are enough workers, the output should increase tenfold within four years."

"In this way, the old man's technical school will also be greatly expanded." Chen Taochuan stroked his beard and laughed.

"That's for sure." Zhao Shouhong said, "Mr. Chen will have to work harder in the future. I plan to build ten more technical schools within four years to train a large number of skilled workers."

Zhao Shouhong's words once again took everyone's breath away. Everyone didn't understand why Zhao Shouhong's plan had to be set within four years.How did they know that Zhao Shouhong would desperately expand production capacity before the First World War, and waiting for the outbreak of the Western Continent War would be his best chance to improve the country's industrial capabilities.

"Should the chemical plant also expand its production? Now we have too many products, and it is difficult to mass-produce with today's equipment." Li Zhuchen, the manager of Zhenhua Chemical Plant, also asked.

"Of course we need to expand production. From today onwards, all factories must try their best to expand production capacity. Funds and equipment are not a problem. Now our machinery factory can manufacture a complete set of equipment. There is no need to consider these issues at all. The only thing to worry about is the safety of workers. Quantity issue." Zhao Shouhong nodded.

"This old man will do his best. If there are really ten technical schools, they should be able to train thousands of qualified workers every year." Chen Taochuan nodded.

"It's the best, everyone, keep working hard, and our business will grow bigger and bigger in the future." Zhao Shouhong encouraged these people and announced a salary increase for all managers.

Chapter 297 New Gunboat

After sending all these away, Yang Lianchen and Wu Dezhang came over.Zhao Shouhong once asked them to keep all information about the shipyard strictly confidential, so they didn't come forward when there were too many people, and they didn't come until everyone had left.

"You two are very busy recently, how is the progress of shipbuilding?" Zhao Shouhong asked hastily, inland waterway shipping is a very important part of his plan, and there is no room for sloppy.

Wu Dezhang said with a smile: "We designed a [-]-ton flat-bottomed freighter with a good carrying capacity. Now that the adults have sent people to clean up the hidden reefs at the bottom of the river, these ships can already go directly to the wharf of Ningyuan Hall, which is convenient for transportation. Quite a lot. Now we have built twelve freighters, and there are six more under construction. In addition, we plan to open a branch factory near Zhongshan City to build [-]-ton river ships, so that transportation will be more guaranteed."

"The progress in warships is not small. We just launched four gunboats for sea trials. I even brought the blueprints." Yang Lianchen unfolded the blueprints under his arm and spread them to Zhao Shouhong's side as he spoke.

Zhao Shouhong is not a shipbuilding major, so he has only a half-knowledge of these drawings, but he can still fully understand the basic functions marked on the drawings. "It is [-] meters long, [-] meters wide, with a draft of [-] meter and a displacement of [-] tons. It adopts two triple-expansion steam engines, propulsed by twin propellers, and has a maximum speed of [-] knots. Two [-]mm rapid-fire guns and two [-]mm howitzers are installed. Two [-]mm Maxine cannons, four machine guns."

Zhao Shouhong raised his head and said, "Is this kind of weaponry necessary? With rapid-fire guns, why install howitzers?"

Yang Lianchen explained: "This is determined by the situation in the Longjiang River. The rapid-fire guns can only be fired flat, which is used to deal with water targets. However, there are many cliffs on both sides of the Yangtze River. If the enemy is on the cliffs, the rapid-fire guns will not be able to reach them. The howitzer ballistic Bend enough to deal with these enemies."

Zhao Shouhong suddenly realized that he had forgotten that the shipboard artillery with an adjustable pitch angle of more than [-] degrees would not appear until after the end of World War I.With today's technology, it is difficult to manufacture such artillery, so a compromise solution of installing rapid-fire guns and howitzers at the same time is inevitable.Zhao Shouhong secretly made a note in his heart that this device must be developed by Jiangnan Shipyard as soon as possible.

"To speed up the construction, we need to keep more than [-] gunboats, which must be completed within one year." Zhao Shouhong said.

"My lord, although Longjiang water bandits are rampant, they dare not step forward as soon as they see gunboats. We only need one gunboat to guard each fleet. Is it necessary to make so many?" Yang Lianchen asked puzzled road.

"Yes, I think it's better to build twenty gunboats first. After a year, you will know that these gunboats may not be enough." Zhao Shouhong smiled mysteriously, but did not explain further.

Yang and Wu had just been sent away, and the three Federer brothers came again.They are real hard-working people, so the research institute of the three is not in Yazhou, but placed in the arsenal. At this time, they heard that Zhao Shouhong had arrived at Ningyuan Hall, so they hurried over.

"Is there anything you three came to see me for? Is there any progress in the development of weapons?" Zhao Shouhong is happiest when these researchers come to him, which shows that the scientific research project has made progress.

Boss Fidel smiled and said: "Yes, boss, we have made a new gun according to your request." He said as he took out a brand new Mauser pistol from his arms.At first glance, this pistol is not much different from the original Mauser pistol, except that its original fixed magazine has become a pluggable magazine, which makes loading bullets much faster.

Zhao Shouhong took the pistol, weighed it and said, "It seems to be a little heavy, can you tell me about your improvement?"

"Of course." Fidel said: "According to the request of the boss, I made improvements. This gun can already be switched between single-shot shooting and automatic shooting, and the magazine for ten rounds has also been changed to twenty rounds. In order to be able to load more bullets, I adopted a double-row alternate feed mode."

"Great, this gun is really good. I suggest you configure a wooden gun box for this gun. The gun box can be installed behind the grip as a butt for shoulder shooting, so as to reduce the accuracy caused by the jumping of the muzzle. Sexual decline." Zhao Shouhong suggested.

"My lord's idea is eye-opening. I didn't expect that the pistol could be used like this. We started designing immediately." Fidel nodded.

"When the design is finished, I will order [-] pieces first, and change my guard battalion. If it is good, all the reconnaissance troops will be replaced." Zhao Shouhong said excitedly.

Although it is within the Hanxing Group, the purchase share of the products is linked to the bonus.Now that the new gun has just been designed, the boss has ordered hundreds of them. This month's bonus will definitely be much higher.

"Let me remind you again." Zhao Shouhong said: "You can develop a long gun that can shoot continuously like a new pistol. In order to reduce the recoil, you can also use pistol bullets. The gun body can be shorter than the rifle, but It can be used with both hands. The barrel can be lengthened appropriately to increase the effective range, but the gun body should be shorter to fully consider the flexibility of fighting in the trenches.”

"Is this weapon useful?" The second child, Frederick, was a little skeptical.

"Of course it is useful. As long as you can manufacture weapons that satisfy me, I guarantee that the army will order [-] of them first." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and placed an attractive large order in advance.

"Really? That's great, let's go back and study right away." The three left excitedly. Zhao Shouhong looked at the backs of the three going away and said, "It seems that the submachine gun has been found. When it comes to the Western Continent, we will Just sell all kinds of weapons and ammunition, and see if you people in the western mainland are still alive."

Zhao Shouhong inspected the Ningyuan Hall to solve the problems raised by various factories, and at the same time made a decision to secretly establish an air force regiment.Based on the newly developed biplane Feng Ru 1 as a prototype, two brigades were established as a pilot. At the same time, a brigade was established for the airship Type [-] airship designed by Xie Zhantai, and Li Ruyan became the first head of the air force.

Zhao Shouhong planned to end his inspection here and go to the Batang Industrial Zone instead, when an urgent information was sent over.As the head of the intelligence system, Shen Ruoxue was naturally the most well-informed person. After receiving this information, she immediately came to see Zhao Shouhong.

"Look, sir, your chance has come." Shen Ruoxue waved a piece of paper and said to Zhao Shouhong with a smile as soon as she entered the door.

"Oh? Did something happen?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

"Something happened, the Northern Plague broke out ahead of schedule." Shen Ruoxue said excitedly.

Chapter 298 The Northern Plague

Around the Spring Festival, Harbin became busy, and many foreigners lived in all the local inns.Most of these people are hunters. They are hired to hunt marmots for a living in Northern Lia of Rakshasa in autumn.The hunted marmots are purchased by specialized Raksha country merchants, and then sent to factories for processing, where they can be sold for a high price.
