"It's really embarrassing, so I plan to set up a special machinery factory in Guanghai this time." Zhao Shouhong said.As soon as this remark came out, the three old gentlemen all looked at Zhao Shouhong in surprise. Due to the blockade of the Western Continent, it is even more difficult for Hualan Kingdom to start a heavy industry, especially the machine manufacturing requires high technology and equipment, which is difficult for ordinary people. Step into this industry.

Zhao Shouhong looked at them and said with a smile: "With the permission of the Empress Dowager, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Jiangnan Shipyard have been placed under my name. I plan to rely on these former military industries to develop our own civilian machine manufacturing industry. To achieve this goal, I decided to build an industrial zone, and I came to see Mr. Yu this time to discuss the matter of buying land and setting up a factory."

The three old gentlemen suddenly realized that Zhao Shouhong came here to buy land.Yu Qiaqing smiled and said: "Master Zhao is willing to build a factory for the sake of strengthening the country, and I, Yu Qiaqing, naturally agree with it. I don't know which piece of land my lord is interested in. I am willing to give it away." Yu Qiaqing didn't want to offend the officials. Especially this military general who is quite famous among the people now, so he plans to form a good relationship first, and maybe he can get some support in the future.

At this time, Yu Qiaqing had already begun to calculate the land in his hands. Although it was a bit painful, he still paid a lot of money for this kind of contact with officials. "The old man has a lot of land in Zhabei. It is close to the city and the port, and the transportation is relatively convenient. I don't know..."

Seeing Yu Qiaqing like this, Zhao Shouhong knew that the other party misunderstood that he was here to ask for bribes. He immediately waved his hands and said: "Mr. Yu, don't be like this, I am not one of those corrupt officials. This time I really want to buy land from the old man. .”

"Yes, my lord is that kind of person, I am willing to give it away." Yu Qiaqing obviously thought that he was cherishing his status and did not want to leave a reputation for corruption, so he naturally followed Zhao Shouhong's words.

Zhao Shouhong smiled bitterly. The explanation was really unclear, so he had no choice but to go straight to the point: "How about this? If Mr. Yu is willing to give up, I am willing to buy the land around Luchao Port at a price of 50 Yingyang."

"Luchao Port?" Yu Qiaqing couldn't turn his head around. If Zhao Shouhong was asking for bribes, he would naturally ask for more expensive land, the better, but he did the opposite and asked for cheap land in a remote place.Those lands were originally planned by Yu Qiaqing to make long-term investment after seeing the development trend of Guanghai.These lands are cheap to buy, but they cannot appreciate in a short period of time. Even if he buys all the land around Luchao Port at the current market price, it will not exceed 30 Yingyang. Zhao Shouhong's price is obviously On the high side.

"There is only a small fishing village in Luchaogang, and there are barren mountains and wild ridges nearby, and the roads are impassable. What do you want the land there for?" The place where they are all shipped out is obviously contrary to common sense.

1 chapters [-]% shares

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that we want to build a heavy industrial park for the country, so that all bosses can buy good machines nearby. I plan to build an industrial park near Luchao Port, so relying on the port nearby can also I can place my shipyard there." When Zhao Shouhong said this, the three old gentlemen finally believed that he really wanted to start a business.

"Master Zhao is a good thing to share the country's worries. How can I ask for money? I give it with both hands. If Yu takes a cent, wouldn't he be sorry for his ancestors?" Finally, he had to think of a compromise: "That's good, I plan to invest 500 million silver dollars to build a machine factory and an arsenal there, and at the same time greatly expand the Jiangnan Shipyard. If Mr. Yu insists on not If you are willing to ask for money, I will count you as a shareholder with the land, and from now on [-]% of the shares in Jiangnan Shipyard will belong to Mr. Yu."

"Don't dare to dare, if you must do this, let's do it like this." Yu Qiaqing wanted to make friends with Zhao Shouhong. After all, such a young Taoist has already established a reputation in the country, and his future is boundless.He didn't even think about getting any benefits from Jiangnan Shipyard, so the [-]% of the shares would be regarded as his support for Zhao Shouhong, but he never imagined that the [-]% of the shares in Jiangnan Shipyard would bring him great benefits in the future. income.

Now that the land problem has been solved, other things can be handled easily. Zhao Shouhong personally plans the blueprints to build his own industrial zone centered on Luchao Port.At the same time, Zhao Shouhong discussed with Guanghai Road, and he also privately funded the construction of a road from Guanghai City directly to the factory.For Zhao Shouhong's deeds, Taoist Guanghai naturally strongly supports it. Once the industrial zone is established, it will be the credit of his term of office after all. For this reason, he helped recruit a large number of civilians to build roads and factories, which greatly advanced the construction progress.Naturally, Qin Zhongyi was busy with the construction of the factory, but Zhao Shouhong had his own work to do at this time.

In Guanghai in the early spring, there is still a slight chill in the air, and it is relatively humid because it is located by the sea, so the weather is quite cold in the morning and evening.The sun had just left the sea level, and the faint light shone on his body, but it couldn't bring much warmth. Zhao Shouhong, who was wearing a duffel coat, was standing a little far from the berth of No. [-] Pier, standing motionless with his eyes closed. Waiting, as if waiting for something.

The Shanghai people who got up early in the surrounding area knew that this handsome young man was surrounded by many plainclothes guards, so they knew that he was not an ordinary person.Even those coolies who were carrying heavy sacks did not dare to get close in order not to cause trouble. They would rather take a long way to avoid this mysterious figure.

'Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' as the whistle sounded, the ocean liner from the western continent gradually docked. The ship was already full of people of various identities. Some of the foreign students are white people who came to explore the East, and more of them are merchants who specialize in maritime trade.

The sound of the siren alarmed the young man. He opened his eyes slightly, looked at the cruise ship that was slowly parked on the berth, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth. If someone familiar with him would recognize it, it was the Jiangnan Manufacturing Co., Ltd. that had just taken over. Zhao Shouhong of the General Administration and Jiangnan Shipyard.

"My lord, the boat has arrived. Let me bring a few people up to find them." The guard company commander Wang Lingji approached and asked in a low voice. Obviously he was afraid that the people here would be in danger, and he hoped that Zhao Shouhong could step back and arrive Safe place to wait.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said, "The people we are picking up this time are very important, and there must be no trace of disrespect. Follow me to the boat and have a look. Keep two people, and if you miss them, you can keep them."

"Yes, my lord." Wang Lingji and several other commanders whispered a few times, and the few with long guns stayed behind.The rest of the guards were carrying M1900 Ronning pistols imitated by the Zhongchuan Machinery Bureau, followed Zhao Shouhong, and walked against the flow of people to the ship.

The passage to disembark was quite narrow, and many people had to lift their suitcases and hang them outside the guardrails to make their movements more convenient.Even so, after seeing the well-dressed Zhao Shouhong, they still consciously gave way and let the other side go against the current and board the deck.

Zhao Shouhong had seen Jiang Fangzhen's photo before, he looked around and searched among the crowd, but there was no one he was looking for after looking around for a long time.After a little thought, Zhao Shouhong turned sideways and walked towards the cabin in one direction.Through the telegram, Zhao Shouhong already knew the cabin where Jiang Fangzhen was, so he walked towards it quickly to see if the other party hadn't come out yet.

Jiang Fangzhen was indeed still in his cabin. When the ship stopped just now, there were too many people disembarking. He didn't want to be crowded with those people, so he sat less in the cabin and planned to leave when there were fewer people. There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Fangzhen looked at the cabin door in surprise, he couldn't think of anyone knocking on the door at this time. "Please come in, the door is unlocked." Even though he didn't know who it was, Jiang Fangzhen politely invited him in.

The door opened, and Zhao Shouhong walked into the cabin with a smile. The other guards, following his instructions, only guarded outside the cabin and did not follow in.Seeing such a strange young man coming in, Jiang Fangzhen asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Jiang. I'm here to see you." Fang Shouhong said politely.

"Fang Shouhong?" Jiang Fangzhen's eyes lit up. He also knew some stories about this young hero beating the Saars from the Hualan merchants in the Teutonic Kingdom, but he had never met him before. Today, he really looked very handsome. vulgar.Since Jiang Fangzhen sent a telegram to the country before boarding the ship, stating the number of the ship and cabin number he was on, and he knew almost nothing about the latest domestic news after drifting at sea for several months, so he did not know that he had been arrested. Yuan Kui sold it for a good price.

"I have known you for a long time, and I heard that you wiped out a Saar army that invaded the western border, and showed the aura of our people. Fang Zhen really admires it." Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile.

"Don't dare, it's just a fluke. In fact, I came here to plead guilty to brother Jiang Fangzhen." Zhao Shouhong suddenly said this.

"Apologize?" Jiang Fangzhen was confused for a while. He and Zhao Shouhong had never met before, so how could the other party offend him.

"It's like this. Originally, Yuan Gong invited Brother Fang Zhen to come back, intending to let you serve as an instructor in the newly-built Baoding Military Academy. After a year or so, you will be promoted to the general office. It turned out that I also wanted to run a military academy in Zhongchuan. He didn't have the talent to play the leading role, so he used some disgraceful means to get Mr. Yuan to agree to transfer you to me." Zhao Shouhong said it more implicitly, and didn't say that he was bought.But who is Jiang Fangzhen, he can naturally hear the real meaning from the words.

[Author's digression]: Celebrate the launch, today we will update 11 chapters, I hope everyone will continue to support me.

Chapter 1: Fleet Commander Cheng Biguang

Jiang Fangzhen couldn't help feeling bitter. He studied military affairs hard in Japan and Germany. He originally hoped to do his best to serve the country after returning to China. However, before he returned to China, he was bought and sold by big shots like goods. This is simply a humiliating thing. No wonder the other party said It's time to apologize.

In today's Hualan Country, an international student without a strong background should be lucky to have a big shot, so how can he fight.Jiang Fangzhen felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He shook his head and laughed at himself: "I don't know whether to cry or laugh because I can be valued by the two adults. I just want to know what price Master Zhao offered to Yuan Gong."

"One standard equipment, all equipped with the latest Mannlicher rifles, one Mark machine gun in each row, and twenty [-]mm Rupp mountain guns and ten base ammunition." Zhao Shouhong said rather embarrassingly .In his opinion, exchanging such a small amount of things for a famous military scientist like Jiang Fangzhen is too chilling, but the price surprised Jiang Fangzhen.

Although he has not yet served in the new army, Jiang Fangzhen knows very well that the new army is organized in the form of towns, associations, bids, battalions, teams, platoons, and sheds. That is to say, there are about 500 people in a bid and more than 1000 soldiers The most advanced rifles in China, more than 30 Mark machine guns that are rare in China, and [-] mountain cannons that are priceless, in exchange for an international student with little qualifications like myself, it shows that the other party attaches great importance to it.Jiang Fangzhen feels the opposite of Fang Shouhong. He feels that he is not being underestimated but valued. At this time, Fang Shouhong has changed from resentment to a sense of confidant in his heart.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao paid such a high price in exchange for me. Fang Zhen will never forget it." Jiang Fangzhen sighed.

"Don't dare, as long as Brother Fang Zhen don't blame me, there is still a handwritten letter from Yuan Gong, please read it." Zhao Shouhong took out Yuan Kai's handwritten letter from his arms and handed it over.

Jiang Fangzhen shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't read such a letter, let's go to Zhongchuan as soon as possible. I can't wait to see the new military academy."

Zhao Shouhong said: "That's fine, but I still have something to do here, so I can't return with Brother Fang Zhen. But tomorrow, a group of technicians led by Feng Ru will go to Zhongchuan. You can go with them. I'll be back in a few days."

Jiang Fangzhen nodded and said, "Alright, Mr. Zhao is so respectful and virtuous as a corporal, I will definitely do my best to help you run this military academy well."

"Thank you so much Brother Fang Zhen." Zhao Shouhong nodded with a smile. With this excellent candidate for chief of staff, it will be very easy to formulate battle plans in the future.

At this moment, the ship's whistle blew one long and three short sounds again, which was a signal to urge passengers to leave the ship as soon as possible. Jiang Fangzhen laughed and said, "It seems that people are almost gone, and we should go too."

"Okay, please, Brother Baili." Zhao Shouhong smiled and asked Jiang Fangzhen to go first. He was not polite, and walked out of the cabin with his luggage with a slight smile.

After sending Feng Ru and Jiang Fangzhen away, Zhao Shouhong stayed at the Shanghai Hotel leisurely for two days.So far he has not returned to Zhongchuan, Zhao Shouhong wanted to wait for the construction of the industrial zone to take shape, and asked Zhang Qiping, Wei Han and other people in charge to draw up a list of new equipment needed before leaving. Something came to him.

Cheng Biguang, the commander of the cruise fleet, actually came to the door in person. Zhao Shouhong naturally couldn't evade this commander with the rank of general, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet him in the living room.Cheng Biguang's handsome appearance is quite similar to that of the later Kung Fu movie star Donnie Yen. He is less than 50 years old, with a short gray beard under his nose and piercing eagle eyes, as if he can read people's hearts.

"Your Majesty Cheng is too far away to greet you personally, you are rude." Zhao Shouhong saluted Cheng Biguang with a smile on his face.Although the status of the navy has plummeted since the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], even the commander of the cruiser is only a third-rank general, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.After all, I am only a fourth-rank Taoist, and I am one rank lower than others, so I naturally have to salute first.

"Master Zhao, you don't need to be too polite. You dare to hit the Sar people, but it's against my old Cheng's taste. I just came back from the sea. I heard that you were in Guanghai, so I ran all the way from Wusong. Only after looking at it did I find out, you see It looks more shrewd and capable than the rumors say." Cheng Biguang is a rough man, he is not used to those court hypocritical clichés, so naturally he doesn't speak so much classical Chinese.

Zhao Shouhong couldn't help smiling in his heart. Recently, he only saw those celebrities and officials, and he unconsciously carried a bit of sourness in his speech, but now he couldn't change it when he saw this general.Knowing that these military generals are most annoying by the literati's sourness, he immediately smiled and said: "It's good that Master Cheng doesn't blame me. In fact, I also get annoyed when I always drop my book bag when talking, but I have to do this when I am in the imperial capital."

"Master Zhao is indeed a material for a military general. He speaks straightforwardly, which is what I like. I don't like those guys who stick to words." Cheng Biguang took off the boat-shaped navy cap on his head and threw it on the table. , sitting on the chair in the living room with a big horse, but he was not polite at all.

Zhao Shouhong ordered the guards to make tea, and then he went to the side and said, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Cheng this time? It's not just to see me."

"What about adults, it's troublesome to say, I think I'll just call you Shou Hong, and you can call me Lao Cheng." Cheng Biguang made friends with Zhao Shouhong when he came up, but the method was so clumsy that Zhao Shouhong couldn't help laughing .However, after all, he has a high official position and is a powerful figure in the navy. He is willing to get closer to him, so he naturally wishes for it.

"So I'm not going to be polite. I don't know what's going on with Brother Cheng this time?" Zhao Shouhong also climbed up the ladder, calling him brother directly.

Zhao Shouhong's boldness suits Cheng Biguang's taste. He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, but my warship needs to be docked for cleaning, but all the docks are building merchant ships, so I have to ask you to find a solution."

As soon as Zhao Shouhong heard it, he understood that when a ship sails in the sea, it is inevitable that some parasitic shellfish and seaweed will adhere to the bottom of the ship.Once these parasites are too much, the ship will consume a lot of fuel, especially the speed of the warship will be greatly affected.So every few months, ships have to enter the dry dock to clean the bottom of the ship and paint it with anti-rust paint. This is normal warship maintenance work.

Usually these tasks are done by the Jiangnan Shipyard, but because the imperial court does not allocate funds, the Jiangnan Shipyard will naturally not provide the Navy with free maintenance of the warships. In fact, the warships of the cruiser fleet have not been cleaned for several years.This time, it was obvious that Cheng Biguang knew that he had taken over the Jiangnan Shipyard and wanted to come over to find out. If possible, he hoped to clean and maintain the bottom of the ship for free.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Brother Cheng should know that my Jiangnan Shipyard is currently building merchant ships at full capacity, and is preparing to move to Luchao Port, so the maintenance of warships should not be possible in a short time." Zhao Shouhong laughed: "What's more, the Jiangnan Shipyard is completely Turning it into a commercial office is considered my property, Brother Cheng must ask for a price."
