super god warlord

Zhao Shouhong said: "I heard that there was a Fengtai photo studio the year before last, and they took a clip of Dingjun Mountain for you. It's a pity that the film is silent, and I can't pass on the essence of my Hualan culture to the world."

"There is indeed such a thing, but it's a pity that there is no sound." Tan Xinpei was also very upset.

Zhao Shouhong said: "I came here this time to invite Boss Tan to go to Zhongchuan. I am planning to build a film company there, and I plan to hire you to record all the repertoires that I am good at for future generations. By the way, my movies have sound of."

"The one with the voice?" Tan Xinpei's face was full of joy, but soon his face turned gray: "I really want to go to Zhongchuan with my lord, but it's a pity that I'm listed in the Shengping Administration, and I have to work in the palace at any time. Get away and go away."

"It's easy to handle. Wait for me to help you with some activities. Just resign from the job on the grounds of old age and infirmity. I plan to form an official Peking Opera troupe in Zhongchuan. Please be the head of the troupe and carry forward our national quintessence." Zhao Shouhong Speak your mind.

At the time, such an idea could be regarded as earth-shattering. Actors were always low-level people who could not stand on the stage, and not many people could give them respect.Now Zhao Shouhong actually plans to hire Tan Xinpei and others to form a Peking Opera troupe in an official capacity. Such favorable conditions are unique.

"Everyone who joins the Beijing Opera Troupe has a guaranteed basic salary of 50 Yingyang per month. There are ticket income plus bonuses for performances. The higher the position, the higher the income. For example, Boss Tan is the head of the troupe, and the monthly guaranteed basic salary is [-] Yuan Yingyang, and food and housing are included. How about this?" The terms Zhao Shouhong gave were not unreasonable, and everyone was moved by what he said, and finally Tan Xinpei negotiated the terms with Zhao Shouhong, and he promised to go to Zhongchuan with Zhao Shouhong as long as he could make up the difference.

The next round of Dingjunshan was about to begin. After Tan Xinpei and Zhao Shouhong had settled, he quickly took the stage to play. After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhao Shouhong returned to the stands with a smile.

Zhao Shouhong's harvest this time is definitely not small. It is not only Tan Xinpei who brought the Tan family class under his banner, his apprentices include Wang Youchen, Jia Junqing, Meng Xiaoru, Luo Xiaobao, Guan Dayuan, including his son Tan Xiaopei, and that Yu Shuyan, an old student of the Xintan School who has not yet grown up, who is not a famous actor covered in halo.Thinking of being able to get the founder of the Tan School, who was admired by later generations, under his command, Zhao Shouhong felt full of joy. Getting the entire Tan family class to Zhongchuan to make Peking Opera movies will definitely play a huge role in the cultural field.

"Shouhong has been away for a long time." Seeing Zhao Shouhong coming back, Zhang Xiaoda asked with a smile.

"I'm not familiar with the route, so it's been a long time." Zhao Shouhong prevaricated indiscriminately. At this time, he had no intention of watching the movie, and he was always thinking about the movie.

In fact, the prototype of the sound film had already appeared at this time. The first sound film was released in Paris in 1900, but at first it was pronounced on a wax plate, and it was difficult to synchronize the audio and video. It was not until Edison invented the sound film ten years later that the The pronunciation of the wax plate was changed to the pronunciation on the film, which made the sound film more and more mature.

Chapter 93 takes over the shipyard

Zhao Shouhong thought in his heart that it would take several years for Edison to invent the sound film. If he registered the patent first, he would be able to seize this big source of income in advance. By then, wouldn’t those film companies give him a lot of money?

After making up his mind, Zhao Shouhong withdrew from the meeting on the grounds that he was unwell. After rushing home, he quickly contacted Shen Ruoxue and asked her to buy related equipment and send it back to Zhongchuan.For Zhao Shouhong, a later generation, making sound films is a very childish thing, and he intends to replace optical recording with more reliable magnetic synchronous recording, which can better restore sound.

The next morning, Yuan Kui visited again in person.Unexpectedly, Yuan Kai would be so enthusiastic, and Zhao Shouhong was also in a big accident, so he had to greet him personally.

"Shou Hong was unwell yesterday and left early, which made me very worried, so I ran over to see you in the morning, is there any problem?" Yuan Wei asked.

"It's possible that I ate greasy yesterday, and it's not a big problem." Zhao Shouhong pretended to be grateful and said to Yuan Kai. He didn't expect the other party to be so respectful and corporal. No wonder so many big names in the Republic would follow him wholeheartedly. Die for him.

"It's fine, it's fine." Yuan Kai smiled and said: "Now that I'm back in the imperial capital, I need to make friends with all the important people. At this time, building relationships will be useful to you in the future. My guard, Hong, will follow me around and get to know more People are good for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your help. I am very grateful." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile. He also wanted to meet some dignitaries, but his grandfather was quite narcissistic and had mediocre relationships with most officials. He was worried that no one would introduce him. Yuan Kui even took the initiative to deliver it to his door.

"I didn't expect Shouhong's soldiers to be so elite, even better than my new army in the Northern Territory. It's really amazing." Yuan Kai is used to training soldiers. As soon as he entered the door, he stared at the soldiers on guard around him. Xia was secretly surprised.

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "This is my guard company, the most elite unit. But although these people still have some skills, they are far inferior to Master Yuan's Northern Territory New Army."

"Shou Hong is too modest, such elite soldiers are hard to find." Yuan Wei said: "But when you go to Tianfeng City, I can arrange a military parade for you, and you can also see the new army in the Northern Territory." Yuan Wei said I am quite proud of the new army I have trained by myself.

"That's naturally good. I plan to go back in ten days. If the matter of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau can be settled, I will go to Tianfeng City and take a sea boat to Guanghai City to land and take a look at the factory first." Zhao Shouhong laughed. .

"It just so happens that I have something to go to Tianfeng City. It seems that you have decided to go this time." Yuan Kai pointed at Zhao Shouhong and smiled.In the next few days, Zhao Shouhong and Yuan Wei got in touch with the entire circle of officials in the imperial capital, and became acquainted with many high-ranking officials.Taking this opportunity, Yuan Kai also publicized the fact that Zhao Shouhong joined the constitutional faction to the entire high-level, using the power of the Zhao family to strengthen his momentum, and made the diehards be honest for a while.

Zhao Shouhong understood Yuan Kai's thoughts very well, but he didn't point it out. He just enthusiastically made friends with high-ranking officials to pave the way for his future career.Fu Ting, Minister of Industry, Agriculture and Commerce, Zuo Shilang Xiyan, Deputy Metropolitan Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yi Ketan, the teacher of gold inscriptions of the future Emperor Xuanxing, a bachelor of Wenhuadian University, Shi Xu, the Minister of Political Affairs of the Constitutional Editing Office, Chief Minister of Military Aircraft, Prince Qing Yikuang, Bachelor of Tirenge, Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Na Tong, Minister of the Ministry of War Tie Liang, Minister of Postal Communications Chen Bi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry Sheng Xuanhuai, Minister Li Jingfang who will be the Minister of Saar Kingdom soon Get acquainted with Zhao Shouhong.

Relying on his powerful money offensive, Zhao Shouhong has flourished in the elite circles of the imperial capital. In order to provide an extra layer of insurance for his power, he even threw out a lot of real money to Xie Mingjue and other senior leaders of the Vanguard Party. They all bought an official, and of course they were all powerful officials in Ankang Road and Jianchang Road.Today's western Sichuan is still a barren land, and the Qing Prince's Mansion does not set a high price for such an official post, which is much cheaper than the official post in the wealthy Jiangnan.

Probably because the railway was built first, the empress dowager also felt that he owed him, so Zhao Shouhong's application was quickly approved, but it was more than Zhao Shouhong originally thought.It turned out that there were too many messes in the imperial court, and now that someone is taking over, they naturally want to throw down a few more burdens. As a result, the Empress Dowager asked Zhao Shouhong to take over the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Jiangnan Shipyard, and at the same time take over Fuzhou Shipping Bureau and Dagu Shipyard.The imperial court may not pursue the arrears, but Zhao Shouhong will need to operate it himself in the future.

For this requirement, Zhao Shouhong couldn't wish for it. What he needs most is skilled industrial workers. Now that the workers from the three enterprises are gathered together, the development of his factory will be faster.The Dagu Shipyard once suffered huge losses during the Gengzi Kingdom Revolution, and has not recovered for so many years. Zhao Shouhong didn't like the scrap copper and rotten iron in those factories at all.He directly sent Qin Zhongyi, who decided to join his command, to sell all the equipment of the Dagu Shipyard, and move all the workers and their families to Guanghai.

The Fuzhou Shipping Bureau followed suit. Due to silting, the water depth of Mawei Port gradually became shallower, and it was no longer suitable for the construction of large ships today, so that place was of little use.As for the equipment of the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, it is considered advanced in today's eyes, so it had to be disassembled and shipped to Shanghai to join the Jiangnan Dockyard, and the personnel were also moved there.

As for the factory building of the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, it is also useful. At this time, Prince Qing Yikuang is preparing to build a mint. He simply gave the land to Prince Qing to support his coinage plan. Prince Qing praised him very much. some.

Now that everything he wanted to do was done properly, Zhao Shouhong thought about going back to Zhongchuan. After all, he was starting his career and he couldn't leave for too long.Hearing that Zhao Shouhong was going to leave, Yuan Wei naturally expressed very enthusiastically that he would also go to Tianfeng City, so it would be better for the two of them to go together so that they could have a look at the appearance of the new army in the Northern Territory.

Zhao Shouhong naturally wanted to know more about the Northern Territory faction, his biggest opponent in the future, and he readily agreed to Yuan Wei's suggestion.After sending several railway engineers and Wu Peifu and other military officers on the train to Jiangxia, Zhao Shouhong took a few servants and guards from another railway, and took the train with Yuan Wei to Tianfeng City.

At this time, Yuan Kai had stepped down as Minister of the Northern Regions, and this time he came back to handover with the new Minister of the Northern Regions and Governor of Zhili Yang Shixiang.It is not far from the imperial capital to Tianfeng City, and with the slow speed of trains in this era, it only took a few hours to reach the place.

Chapter 94 Street Encounter

Yuan Kai had his own mansion in Tianfeng City, so he naturally invited him enthusiastically, and Zhao Shouhong readily accepted.After lunch, Zhao Shouhong said that he had never been to Tianfeng City and wanted to go to the streets to see the excitement, while Yuan Wei expressed his willingness to go together.Now Zhao Shouhong joined the constitutional faction with a clear banner, coupled with his relationship with Zhang Xiaoda, as well as his own family background, he has become a favorite in Yuan Kai's hands, so he naturally made friends deliberately.

Zhao Shouhong and Yuan Kai changed into green clothes and caps, left the mansion with a few plainclothes guards, and started wandering on the street.It was just after noon at this time, and the market was bustling. Looking at the bustling street scene, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help but secretly nodded. It seems that Hualan's big coastal city is still quite prosperous, which is much better than his previous estimate. .

Yuan Kai is resident in Tianfeng City and is very familiar with it, so he acted as a tour guide and introduced the surrounding situation to Zhao Shouhong. "When will Mr. Yuan go to see Mr. Yang? Don't miss the time." Zhao Shouhong originally wanted to learn more about the economic situation in the coastal area of ​​Hualan by himself, but with Yuan Wei on the side, he was unable to investigate carefully. .

"It's not busy, Master Yang will be delayed on the way back from Qilu Province this time. It stands to reason that he should arrive in these two days, but he is not in a hurry, and it's okay to take a while." Yuan Kai obviously didn't The thought of leaving.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head secretly. Even if he bought people's hearts, this guy was too enthusiastic. Anyway, he thought he would never be able to do it.While the two were talking, they came to a long street. There were several places to eat on this street, but none of them were high-end restaurants.

The two of them had just passed a mutton restaurant, when suddenly a person rushed out of it, and when they saw the person rushing towards Zhao Shouhong and Yuan Kai, the plainclothes guards who were always on guard immediately stopped him.The visitor had a dark complexion and a fat body, a pair of toad eyes under his two broom eyebrows, and his mustache was covered with greasy. It was obvious that he had just had a great time eating in the mutton restaurant.Seeing that he was blocked, the fat man waved to the two of them and said, "Master Yuan, it's me, I'm Yang Shixiang."

Hearing the cry, Yuan Kai looked up, only to find that it was an acquaintance. "Oh, Mr. Yang, why are you here? Let him come over quickly." Yuan Wei greeted, and under Zhao Shouhong's signal, the guards finally let Yang Shixiang come over, even the two guards who chased him out of the restaurant together Let it go.

Wiping his greasy thick lips, Yang Shixiang said with a smile: "Master Yuan is really different when he becomes the middle hall. The guards are so strict."

"Shi Xiang, you blamed me wrongly. Such an elite soldier is not my subordinate. They are the guards brought by Shou Hong." Yuan Kai laughed.

"Shouhong? Is it him?" Yang Shixiang looked at Zhao Shouhong, who was a little too young, with a face full of surprise.

"Yes, let me introduce you. This is the new governor of Zhili and Minister of the Northern Territory Yang Shixiang. This is our rising star. Now he is Zhao Shouhong, a member of Jianchang Road and Ankang Road in Zhongchuan Province. Sa'er people." Yuan Kui praised Zhao Shouhong in front of Yang Shixiang, obviously to elevate his status.

"It turns out that the young hero that Mr. Storyteller mentioned is you. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. You really are a handsome young hero." Yang Shixiang wiped his hands on his body with a smile, and then said in a salute.Seeing Yang Shixiang so unkempt, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help but smile.

Yuan Kai pointed to the mutton restaurant and said, "Brother Pingshi, why did you come here?"

Yang Shixiang smiled and said: "It's not that you don't know, I just like this mutton. I just arrived in Tianfeng City this time, and I found out that the mutton here is delicious, so I came here to try it. You just came after a few bites Well, of course I'm going to come out and say hello."

"Since you are here, let's meet by chance instead of meeting. Come, come, I will treat you to some mutton." Yang Shixiang pulled Yuan Kai and Zhao Shouhong into it quite enthusiastically.

For this kind of dilapidated small place, Yuan Kai was very reluctant to enter, but Yang Shixiang kindly invited him, and he couldn't shirk it. For this reason, he could only give Zhao Shouhong a wry smile, and followed him in.For this authentic mutton restaurant, Zhao Shouhong thinks it is quite fresh. In order to create a classical atmosphere in later generations, some restaurants even use holographic projection lights to create this dilapidated feeling in the restaurant, so Zhao Shouhong has no discomfort a feeling of.

"Come on, bring me two catties of haggis, two catties of smoked mutton, a roast leg of lamb, and a pot of Erguotou." Yang Shixiang sat on the low stool carelessly and greeted the bartender.

"I tasted it just now, and the mutton here is very good, you all should try it too." Yang Shixiang greeted warmly, and then he said to Yuan Wei: "Brother Yuan Wei seems to be a little uncomfortable coming to such a small place to eat. "

Although Yuan Kui was full of reluctance, he laughed and said, "Brother Shi Xiang, what's the matter, it's too boring to always eat in those big restaurants, but it's quite interesting to come to such a small restaurant."

"That's good, that's good, how does Shouhong feel?" Yang Shixiang didn't recognize his life, and he was very affectionate when he first met Zhao Shouhong.

Zhao Shouhong piled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "To be honest, Mr. Yang, I also like to eat in such a small restaurant, and I like lamb very much. The bartender will also serve braised lamb chops and charcoal-grilled hand-caught lamb. Today I am the host and invite two my lord."

"How can this work? I don't need your treat anyway. From now on, I will take Brother Wei Ting's position, and I will be considered a half-landlord here, so let me treat you." Yang Shixiang said.

"Don't fight, don't fight, I know the place best here, so I should treat guests." Although Yuan Kai didn't want to eat here, he still competed to treat guests.

"Stop arguing, my lords. I am the youngest here, so naturally I should invite you." Zhao Shouhong naturally didn't want these two court officials to pay for it, even if it was a closer relationship.The three argued for a while, and finally Yuan Wei shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, let Shou Hong treat the guests, he has a lot of money, and he doesn't care about the meal."

"That's right. It is said that he wants to pay for the construction of the railway himself. This has caused a sensation in the whole country." Only then did Yang Shixiang remember Zhao Shouhong's astonishing move.A few people ate mutton and gossiped about the family affairs very earnestly. It was only then that Zhao Shouhong knew that Yang Shixiang also supported constitutionalism. The three of them were very embarrassed when they talked about the persecution of the diehards and the behavior of the Queen Mother.
