"Fifth Brother Lie, since we have decided to take this path, we must always look at things from the perspective of the working people. We must not sacrifice the interests of the people for the sake of temporary development, not to mention that we have ample funds, don't you I need to worry about this.” Zhao Shouhong said: “In addition to this, I have a deeper consideration. What China lacks the most is not capital, but skilled workers who can carry out production. After a while, all the apprentices will become teachers Yes, I plan to continue to expand the work force to reach a system of six shifts and three shifts, so that we can accumulate a large number of skilled industrial workers, and when we expand production, we will not be in a hurry due to the lack of workers."

Chapter 61 Yuan Kui's Trouble

"Your Excellency really thinks long-term. Do all the industries under our banner do the same?" Zhang Liewu asked Zhao Shouhong indirectly how big his ambition was.

"Of course, we don't have much time and we must race against time. In order to strengthen the country as quickly as possible, we must not be afraid of spending money." Zhao Shouhong said.While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the shooting range. Zhao Jiu personally handed the new gun that still smelled of gun oil to Zhao Shouhong's hand: "My lord, this is the new gun that was just trial-produced. We tried a few rounds. Nei can hit the target accurately, and the shooting speed is extremely fast."

"Great, with such a good gun, the combat effectiveness of the army will have to be raised a few more steps." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile, he pressed a plate of bullets casually, pulled the bolt to aim at the target in the distance, and then With a clear gunshot, the bullet escaped and accurately hit the bullseye a hundred meters away.

"A good gun, really a good gun." Zhao Shouhong held the rifle and couldn't put it down: "Why don't these [-]-caliber Phil rifles be called Western Sichuan-style [-] rifles from now on?"

"Okay." Everyone expressed their support.Zhao Shouhong said again: "New equipment will come in a few days. It is specially used to manufacture artillery. I hope everyone will get familiar with it as soon as possible. I will hire some technicians from abroad to help everyone."

"Don't worry, my lord, we must get familiar with the equipment as soon as possible and increase the output." Many craftsmen expressed their determination.

If you want to improve work efficiency and extend working hours, it is too old-fashioned. Zhao Shouhong disdains it. What he wants is high efficiency and humanization, so that he can greatly improve his enthusiasm for work.More creativity can emerge from active work, which is more important than producing more products. In the future, he will also add bonuses for overfulfilling tasks, so that everyone can work harder.

The best way to improve work efficiency is naturally to change the power from a steam engine to an electric motor, so that a conveyor belt assembly line can be established to achieve higher work efficiency. Therefore, Zhao Shouhong is most concerned about the dam built on the Yalong River, and to The generator and motor of the cargo.After these things arrived, Zhao Shouhong was surprised to find that the coils used in today's motors and generators are not enameled wires at all due to the inability to solve the problem of materials.

In order to insulate the coil, Siemens engineers actually fixed the coil with a ceramic jacket with many dents, so that the weight of the coil was very heavy, but the number of turns was much less. Zhao Shouhong was quite troubled by this, and he began to urge Haber A new material was produced. Of course, this general material was also given to him by Zhao Shouhong, which is polyurethane specially used to make paint raw materials.

No matter when the enameled wire can be successfully developed, at least relying on the current equipment, Zhao Shouhong can barely build his own hydropower station.Fortunately, Siemens sent electrical engineers for them to be responsible for the installation and commissioning of generators and motors. With motors, at least all the equipment in the machine bureau can be transformed into electric drives, which not only has higher efficiency, but also saves resources. .

In his busy schedule, Zhao Shouhong did not forget some upcoming events in history. On October 10, the Sichuan Provincial Agricultural School was established in the old warehouse on the right side of the Baochuan Bureau in Houzaimen, Shudu. This is the first agricultural school established by Zhongchuan, and it is also the historical source of Zhongchuan Agricultural University in the future.

Originally, no one paid attention to the establishment of such an unremarkable agronomy school, but to the surprise of the teachers and students, Zhao Shouhong not only sent people to congratulate him as a Taoist priest, but also provided them with funds to purchase experimental planting use of land and improve the quality of life of teachers and students.

In addition, Zhao Shouhong specially sent five backup biochemists to serve as their teachers to guide them to cultivate some plant seeds that Zhao Shouhong urgently needed, including high-yield wheat, corn, potato, sweet potato, and cotton as a cash crop. , tobacco and other products.

At the beginning, the arrival of the five backup biochemicals made the teachers and students quite critical, but the biochemicals quickly conquered everyone here with their profound knowledge. Later, these people have already admired the biochemicals. The five bodies fell to the ground.

High-quality seeds will be cultivated soon, and they will be fully purchased by the agricultural reclamation company established by Zhao Shouhong, and then distributed to the members of the Gelaohui who joined the company.According to Zhao Shouhong's plan, the members of the Gelaohui will start planting these high-yield crops in Sichuan, which will make the Land of Abundance even more worthy of its name.

After the lives of the Gelaohui members under the control of Zhao Shouhong had been greatly improved, the Gelaohui members from Chongqing were gradually attracted.Without She Ying noticing, his men will become fewer and fewer.

Of course, these are all things to say later, while Zhao Shouhong was busy laying out Zhongchuan, and at the same time trying to expand the scale of the industrial base, Yuan Wei was making the final struggle for the rights in his hands.Zhangde Autumn Exercise opened on time on October 10. Under the leadership of Duan Ruiquan, the third town of the Beiyang New Army conducted a three-day exercise with the Self-Strengthening Army led by Li Hongyuan.Although due to the intervention of the imperial court, the original ten-day autumn exercise was changed to three days, which saved the face of the self-improvement army, which had already shown its defeat, but the new army in the northern region won after all.This incident made Yuan Wei's face a lot, and it also made the Northern Territory Army more famous, but this victory still caused Yuan Wei's depression.

After returning to Tianfeng City, Yuan Wei stayed behind closed doors, but in fact he relied on Xu Haichang, Zhao Bingzhang and others to follow all the news in the imperial capital. At noon on November 11th, Yuan Ke rushed into Yuan Kai's room out of breath. "Father, father, something serious happened."

"What are you panicking about? Those who do great things must have the determination to keep the mountain from falling in front of them." Yuan Kai, who was recuperating with his eyes closed on the recliner, babbled and then asked: "Take a breath first, let's talk if you have anything to say." .”

"Master Xu called, saying that the Empress Dowager Yizhi in Beijing announced a new official system today." Yuan Ke said.

"Oh? Let's hear it." Yuan Kai slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he already had some bad premonitions.

"In the new official system, there are twelve ministries, most of whom are rich and powerful. As for us, only Mr. Xu Haichang has taken up the post of secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This Ministry of Civil Affairs was reformed from the Patrol Bureau." Yuan Ke said somewhat. Said dejectedly.

"What?" Yuan Kai stood up abruptly, he walked to the table and stared at the scenery outside the window for a long time.Suddenly Yuan Kai squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, you are really good at playing. Implementing the New Deal, but attracted the hatred of those diehards to me. It turns out that I, Yuan, have been Played by you in the palm of your hand."

Chapter 62 Retreat as Advance

"Father, how should we deal with this?" Yuan Ke asked cautiously.

Turning his head around, Yuan Kai shot two fierce gazes in his eyes, and said to Yuan Ke, "Invite Xu Haichang and Zhao Bingjun to come to Tianfeng City immediately to talk, and let them come today."

"Yes, father." Yuan Ke quickly walked out of the room to arrange a telegram.

Looking at the floating clouds in the sky, Yuan Kai sighed: "Lafayette, since you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous. It seems that you don't want to give up this imperial power easily, but how far will the situation develop in the future? , it’s out of your control.”

Also aware of the urgency of the situation, Xu Haichang and Zhao Bingjun boarded the train bound for Tianfeng City as soon as they received Yuan Wei's telegram.A few hours later, the travel-worn two arrived at the Tianfeng Beiyu Minister's Yamen, where Yuan Kai had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two, Yuan Kai smiled. Instead of asking about the situation of the imperial capital, he said to the two: "Today I invited the two of you to reminisce about the old days, so everyone should sit down and sit down. Come on. The food is here, let’s eat it while it’s hot.”

Seeing Yuan Kai greet them, the two hurried to their seats.Yuan Kai held up the wine glass and invited the two to drink. During the dinner, they only talked about Fengyue but never talked about the Empress Dowager Yizhi.The three of them chatted for a while, but Xu Haichang couldn't bear it any longer. He sighed and said, "brother, the imperial decree approved by the empress dowager this time is actually the result of her balancing technique. It is not a failure of our constitutional monarchy, but more Not to mention the victory of their die-hards."

"My lord, what Master Xu said is true. Even though Prince Chun and the others clinked glasses to celebrate all night, in my opinion, it's just that they gave themselves courage." Zhao Bingjun also comforted.

"My brother is wrong." Yuan Wei waved his hand to prevent Zhao Bingjun from continuing: "In a few days, they will still celebrate and get drunk, believe it or not?"

Yuan Wei smiled, but Xu Haichang and Zhao Bingjun looked at each other when they heard these words. They didn't know what Yuan Wei meant.Yuan Kai took out a notebook with a smile and said: "This is a memorial written by me to the old lady. I want you to check it for me before I play it. Brother Xu, let's read it first."

Xu Haichang took the memorial, and in order for Zhao Bingjun to hear it, he simply read it out: "In order to comply with the new system, four of the six towns in the Northern Territory will be handed over to the Ministry of War under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Army." Zhao Bingjun Qiqi took a breath.

Xu Haichang said anxiously: "Didn't you give all the housekeeping capital of our Northern Territory Department to those diehards?"

"Brother, don't make a fuss and read on." Yuan Kai didn't answer directly, but smiled and asked him to continue reading.

"Please ask the Queen Mother to resign from various part-time jobs so as to conform to the new system. Resign from part-time jobs. There are ministers who will manage the military training office, ministers who handle the military training of the Beijing Banner, ministers who supervise electricity, ministers who supervise the internal and external railways of Shanhaiguan, ministers who supervise Fengzhen Railways, and emperors. The Minister of Han Railway, the Minister of Conference and Business Agreement, a total of eight items." The more Xu Haichang read, the more trembling his voice became.

Zhao Bingjun couldn't sit still any longer, he said sharply, "Isn't this fulfilling the wishes of those diehards?"

Yuan Kui waved his hand again and said, "Continue reading, let's discuss it after reading."

Xu Haichang had no choice but to continue to read: "The part-time job is too complicated, and it is beyond his ability to catch it. The power of the matter is too heavy, and it is beyond the courage of the minister. If the repost is often added to the minister, suspicion and slander will rise in everyone's mouth, and the minister That's why you got the name of corrupting power." Xu Haichang sighed, "What are you doing this for? If you lose the four towns in the Northern Territory, you will lose your military power. If you lose your posts in electricity administration and railways, you will lose your financial resources. You will lose If the ministers of the meeting discuss the contract, they will lose the stage to make friends with the envoys of various countries. Isn't this self-defeating? Are you afraid?"

"Why am I afraid of it?" Yuan Kai was still smiling.

"But why are you doing this?" Xu Haichang's brows became tighter and tighter.

"My lord, if you resign from these eight part-time positions, you will be left with the two positions of Governor of Zhili and Minister of the Northern Territory. Even if you want to use this to fight back against the oppression of the diehards, I don't think the Empress Dowager will approve it. I want it." Zhao Bingjun seemed to suddenly realize.

"No, she will not only approve, but those diehards will hold a celebration party more blatantly." Yuan Wei's smile deepened.

A few days later, Yuan Kai's memorial, which was fired up by the imperial capital, and the information about his removal from various part-time jobs, came to Zhao Shouhong's hands.Zhao Shouhong looked at it with a smile and said nothing, after reading it, he handed it to Shen Ruoxue beside him.

Shen Ruoxue frowned, and she asked: "I don't understand, what is Yuan Wei going to do? Shouldn't the empress dowager strike a balance between the constitutional faction and the die-hard faction? Why did she agree to Yuan Wei? requirements."

Zhao Shouhong laughed and said, "You don't understand politics, so naturally you can't see the problems. I have learned a lot from that cheap uncle Zhao Erfeng, and the key is actually just a trial. It was actually a gesture to reassure the empress dowager to him. The empress dowager agreed to this memorial, which was actually to test whether Yuan Kai had ambitions. They won't be loyal to Tie Liang if they were pulled up by Kai with one hand."

Zhao Shouhong stood up and said to the dead wood outside the window: "It's ridiculous that those diehards are still drinking and celebrating, but they don't know how long Yuan Kai will turn over. I think Yuan Kai must have relaxed the persecution and surveillance of the revolutionary party. The Revolutionary Party had the opportunity to set off several uprisings across the country, and the Empress Dowager will return the military power to Yuan Kai."

Zhao Shouhong pointed to the dead wood in the yard and said: "The court of the Later Jin Dynasty today is like this dead tree. Although it looks like it is still extremely strong with teeth and claws, it will not take long. When its roots are rotten, just push it gently It will collapse suddenly. Our time is running out, so we must speed up the construction of industry and army, and at the same time, we must carefully develop our party members, so that nothing goes wrong."

"Now we have taken advantage of the convenience of literacy classes and schools, and have developed hundreds of party members among soldiers, workers and students." Shen Ruoxue said proudly.

"This is not good. You must be cautious when recruiting party members. Before joining our party, you must use a lie detector test in a space hospital. Only those who sincerely join us for their ideals can be absorbed. We are different from the Revolutionary Party. They are Anti-gold with great fanfare can unscrupulously promote one's ideals. We are in a tiger's den, and a single negligence may waste all previous efforts." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said.

Chapter 63 The search for famous generals

"I can't say no to you, so I will do as you said, but you have to leave these things to those biochemical doctors. I need to go to the White Eagle Kingdom in a few days, and it will take about half a year to come back." Shen Ruoxue road.

"To preside over next year's financial crisis? Are you planning to acquire some companies?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

"Of course, this financial crisis is a good opportunity for us. I have to arrange it first. As long as we grasp it well, we will be able to lay a big nail in the economic circle of White Eagle Country, and it will have a decisive effect by then." Shen Ruoxue Walking to Zhao Shouhong's side, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "During the time I'm away, you are not allowed to go to Sun Yuting all the time. If you get tired of being with her every day, I will settle the score with you when you come back."

"How come? I'm going to Shudu in two days. Master Xiliang gave me an order to go to Shudu immediately, saying that there will be a job change." Zhao Shouhong said: "I will leave tomorrow. And according to Lord Xiliang, it will take a while to come back."

"That's good, wait for me to come back and find you." Shen Ruoxue raised her pointed chin, which was as white as jade, and left with brisk steps.
