"Okay." The boss smiled and started to work on the stall, putting strips of rice cakes that had been prepared in advance into the frying pan.

It was still early at this time, and there were not many people eating breakfast. What's more, this rice cake is a relatively high-end breakfast, and ordinary people can't eat it often. Now there are only two of them in this stall.Zhao Shouhong looked at the boss who was busy, then turned his head and asked, "I said, Ruoxue, do you want too much? This rice is made of glutinous rice noodles. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it."

"If there's anything you can't finish eating, I'm afraid that you will buy more of your favorite food." Shen Ruoxue rolled her eyes, and Zhao Shouhong almost kissed her so cute.Shen Ruoxue turned her head to a guard and said, "Go and buy us two bowls of soy milk, I'm too thirsty to eat rice."

Hearing the order, the guard immediately ran to a nearby stall to buy soy milk, and he could also buy some fried dough sticks for the brothers who came with him, so as to fill up the still empty stomach.When the steaming rice cakes were brought to the table, soy milk was also bought.

Looking at the rice cake that was still steaming, Zhao Shouhong said, "This stuff is too greasy, is it really delicious?"

"Why is it not delicious? This is the best breakfast I've ever tasted after eating all of Guanghai's breakfasts." Shen Ruoxue said.

"You idiot, you have eaten all the breakfasts in Shanghai after only half a month." Zhao Shouhong sighed, and as soon as he said the words, he felt a sharp pain in his ribs.Obviously, Shen Ruoxue, who was in a hurry, grabbed the soft flesh in his waist and turned around 360 degrees, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.The guards who were secretly watching around saw this scene, and couldn't help covering their mouths and giggling.

"Okay, okay, it's alright if I'm wrong? You can't be more lenient. If you look so savage, who will dare to marry you in the future." Zhao Shouhong muttered, rubbing his sore spot.

"You said that I strangled you, and you cursed me that I couldn't get married. When I was working in the White Eagle Alliance, there were ten streets of pursuers for you to worry about. Tell you not to tarnish my reputation. If I marry you because of you If you can't get married, it's up to you." Shen Ruoxue said with a soft snort.

"You belong to Pengci." Zhao Shouhong muttered, while stretching out his chopsticks to pick up a large rice cake, put it in his mouth and bit it.The feeling of crispness and softness comes one after another, and the smoothness of glutinous rice and the strong aroma of japonica rice begin to spread in the mouth while chewing slowly.The combination of the slightly salty scallions and the unique aroma of heated sesame oil made him close his eyes.

Chewing slowly, until he swallowed the whole rice cake, Zhao Shouhong breathed out and said, "It's really delicious."

"It's delicious." Shen Ruoxue said with a smile: "My biggest hobby now is to eat all the local delicacies. It turns out that the delicacies on Nilanxing are not comparable to those junk foods in the space age. I really love this It's time."

"You are working so hard to make money, not just to eat." Zhao Shouhong looked at Shen Ruoxue, and he felt that this hypothesis was very possible.

"You only want to eat, and I only make money for the country." Shen Ruoxue couldn't help but feel a little confused. At first, she was willing to take the risk of being a spy because of her patriotic heart, but now she traveled to the previous life by accident. When the Lanzhou Union regime has not yet been established.

From his own feelings, he naturally supports the establishment of the new Hualan alliance regime in later generations, and leads the people of Hualan to a powerful communist party.However, according to historical accounts, the Communist Party went through a very tortuous process in the early days of its establishment, resulting in the innocent deaths of countless people with lofty ideals. She was unwilling to experience it again from the bottom of her heart.

Chapter 1 The Big Three of the Navy

Should we support the establishment of the Communist Party, or should we start anew with Zhao Shouhong and establish a new national system based on the mature utopianism of later generations? This is a dilemma.Thinking of the mission of herself and Zhao Shouhong, she not only turned her face to look at Zhao Shouhong, but found that he hadn't spoken all this time, so he was munching at his desk.

"Oh, you are so cunning, you actually got me talking and ate so much." Seeing that there was only half of the rice cake left, Shen Ruoxue immediately stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece, ignoring her ladylike image and began to chew, It's just that with her outstanding demeanor, even if she doesn't care about her image, she still has a seductive charm in her.

At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter came over: "Brother Shouhong, I didn't expect you to have breakfast here." Zhao Shouhong looked up, but found a dozen people in navy uniforms striding towards , among the three people wearing military uniforms, the one on the left is Cheng Biguang.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hands to make the guards back who were trying to stop them, stood up and smiled at everyone, and said, "I didn't expect to meet all the brothers in the navy here by chance. Brother Cheng, won't you introduce me?"

Cheng Biguang pointed to the man in the middle and said, "This is our Sa Junmen, and the one on the right is our Yangtze River Fleet Commander Shen Shoukun."

"It turned out to be Sa Junmen and Master Shen. It's impolite for my subordinates not to visit beforehand." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

"I heard from Bi Guang that Shou Hong is also a straightforward person, so there is no need for so many vulgar etiquette. Originally, the few of us also love to eat this rice cake. This time, we came here to satisfy our cravings. I didn't expect to meet by chance. It's really destined. Just right We also have something to ask you, so let's talk about it while eating." Sa Zhenbing also doesn't like vulgar etiquette, and he is also careless towards Zhao Shouhong.

"This is the best." Zhao Shouhong smiled and beckoned the three of them to sit down, and the sailors also dispersed around to guard. Zhao Shouhong's guards saw that the two sides knew each other, so they friendly handed them the extra breakfast.The sailors were not polite, and the two sides quickly became familiar with each other in a friendly atmosphere.

Seeing that all the officials came, the boss who made rice cakes was so frightened that the hand holding the plate was trembling.Zhao Shouhong walked over to hold his hand with a smile and said, "Boss, don't be afraid, we don't know how to eat people. Just do your own thing well, don't worry about anything else."

"Yes, my lord." The boss nodded. Hearing Zhao Shouhong's calm words, his mood calmed down a bit, and he could finally make fried rice reluctantly.

"I didn't expect Shouhong to be so good at Guanghai's breakfast, so he could find it here." Shen Shoukun said while sitting on the chair, he glanced at Shen Ruoxue and said, "This is my younger brother and sister, she really looks beautiful."

Hearing being misunderstood by others, Shen Ruoxue couldn't help being embarrassed, Zhao Shouhong quickly explained: "Master Shen, don't misunderstand, this is my classmate when I was studying abroad, and now works in the White Eagle Country. We just came back so we came out to relax, we are not Husband and wife relationship."

Knowing that he had made a mistake, Shen Shoukun was a little embarrassed, but he was not to blame.In this era of Hualan, it is impolite for men and women to eat out together if they are not husband and wife.This is because there have been many contacts in the Western Continent in recent years, and it happened after Feng Qi opened up. Otherwise, it would be a serious crime for a young woman to go out casually, and she would be subject to moral condemnation.

"Everyone, eat quickly, this rice cake won't taste good when it's cold." Cheng Biguang quickly greeted everyone to eat, thus avoiding such an embarrassing situation.

Sa Zhenbing ate a few mouthfuls and said: "Brother Shouhong, this time I came to ask you to do something."

As soon as Zhao Shouhong saw these three coming together, he knew it well.The fleet is not stationed in Guanghai Port, but all these high-ranking officials ran here, apparently for some reason.Since he came to find himself, there was only one possibility left.

Even though he knew what the other party was thinking, Zhao Shouhong still asked with a smile: "What advice does Sa Junmen have?"

"I don't dare to advise, I just want to ask, if what you and Bi Guang said about repairing warships for the cruiser fleet free of charge, can the Longjiang Fleet also be included." When Sa Zhenbing said this, Shen Shoukun seemed Quite nervous, after all, the Longjiang Fleet is under his rule.

Zhao Shouhong looked at the three of them, Sa Zhenbing, and asked with a smile on his face: "As the three adults know, the Jiangnan Dock has become my private property. It was specially given to me. Since it is my private property, it must be profitable, otherwise I will lose money in business. You should also know that it costs a lot to repair the warship, not to mention that I promised Brother Biguang to replace the artillery. The cost is incalculable.”

Zhao Shouhong's words made Shen Shoukun's heart sink.The other party was right, the cost of maintaining the warship was too high, otherwise the imperial court would not have ignored the two fleets, and it was unreasonable for an official to personally bear the cost of the navy.However, the navy has been in trouble for a long time. If this continues, the navy's ships may not be able to move.

Zhao Shouhong's words made the three of them silent for a while, and Shen Ruoxue suddenly suggested: "How about this? I will open a logistics company in Guanghai City, let the navy escort me, and help me clear up the relationship between the higher authorities. I will pay to help you How about repairing the warship?"

What Shen Ruoxue said surprised the three of them. They looked at each other, and they all saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.In their thinking, women are always out of the door and never take a second step, and never care about national affairs.Unexpectedly, such a woman who ate at the same table with Zhao Shouhong would dare to express her willingness to pay for the navy to repair the warship. That is not a small amount, and it needs nearly 20 taels of silver every year.

Seeing the surprised looks of the three, Shen Ruoxue asked again: "What? The three adults don't trust me?"

"This..." Sa Zhenbing asked: "Does this young lady know how much money the navy needs to repair warships a year?"

"Haiqi is the largest of your small boats, at most three to five million taels a year, is that a lot?" Shen Ruoxue said with a slight smile.Zhao Shouhong was taken aback, he was afraid that Shen Ruoxue would show off his wealth too much and be easily remembered by others.

In order to prevent the high-ranking naval officials from having any bad intentions, Zhao Shouhong added: "This Miss Shen Ruoxue, her business is all in the White Eagle Country, and she returned to China this time to expand her business." The status of foreigners in this era is very It's easy to use, Zhao Shouhong said so, even the officials don't dare to embarrass it too much.

The three of them suddenly realized that they had obviously regarded Shen Ruoxue as the son of a rich Chinese man, and they had come to Guanghai City to practice.

Chapter 1 Thirteen: The Temptation of Shipbuilding

"Of course there is no problem, I can guarantee this. As long as maintenance can be carried out twice a year, our navy will definitely protect the logistics company of Miss." Sa Zhenbing was really eager to maintain the warship, so he agreed immediately.

"Of course it's more than this condition. I heard that Zhao Shouhong wants to let the students of Maritime Academy go to practice on a warship. Will Sa Junmen agree to this?" Shen Ruoxue asked with a smile.

Regarding this matter, Sa Zhenbing was really embarrassed.After all, if the court finds out about letting civilians go on a warship to practice, I am afraid that some officials will join him.Seeing Sa Zhenbing's embarrassed expression, Shen Ruoxue turned around and asked, "Brother Hong, when will your shipyard be able to build warships?"

"Building warships?" Zhao Shouhong thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it will take three or four years. If we can build a large number of merchant ships and train enough skilled workers, we can build warships in about three years. Of course we can't build warships." If it is too big, there should be no problem if it is less than [-] tons.”

When Zhao Shouhong heard Shen Ruoxue's question, he knew what the other party meant. In fact, the craftsmen and engineers in the Jiangnan Shipyard have built warships. As long as the dockyard is well built and there are enough funds, they can build warships at any time.Zhao Shouhong was afraid that the construction of warships in advance would enrich the naval power and cause unpredictable damage during the Revolution of [-], so he deliberately said that it would take three years after the mistake.At the same time, Zhao Shouhong lured them with big ships to prevent them from demanding to build inland ships.The construction time of inland ships is short, and it will be bad if they form combat effectiveness before the year of [-].

Before Sa Zhenbing and others understood the meaning of Shen Ruoxue's words, she said again: "That's good, as long as Sa Junmen agrees to let the students go on the ship for internship, I am willing to pay for the construction of two ships for the navy in three years' time. A warship, a [-]-ton ship, a warship of the same level as the Haiqi."

"Is this true?" Sa Zhenbing stood up suddenly, he suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.Even if the imperial court bought a few cruisers, they gritted their teeth, and there has never been a warship of the [-]-ton class in the history of the Jin Dynasty.If she is really willing to pay for Jiangnan Shipyard to build such a large ship, it will create the history of the Houjin Navy.

Shen Ruoxue and Zhao Shouhong had the same thoughts, they were both very worried about Hualan Kingdom's maritime safety in the future, that's why they took the initiative to make friends with the navy.Of course, everything has two sides, and they have to prepare both ways. They can't put Hualan Kingdom's future maritime security on Houjin Haijun.That's why Zhao Shouhong insisted on letting the students practice on warships, because he wanted to build his own navy in case of accidents.

"I need to report this to the imperial court before I can make a final decision." Sa Zhenbing resisted the urge to immediately agree in her heart, and finally decided to be prudent.

"I've taken care of the maintenance of the warship. As for the construction of the warship, I'll just wait for the good news from Sa Junmen." Shen Ruoxue replied calmly. In fact, this is already the best result. After all, warships like this Even Sa Zhenbing wouldn't dare to decide on the country's important weapon, but Shen Ruoxue believed that with such a big temptation, even the empress dowager would definitely agree.

"Miss Shen is really a woman, and Cheng admires it very much." Cheng Biguang sighed for a while, and at the same time his heart was full of excitement. If the court really approved this matter, his cruiser fleet would change its flagship in a few years.

Sending Sa Zhenbing and the others away, Zhao Shouhong sighed and said, "I think I need to go back to Sichuan as soon as possible. There are too many things in Guanghai City. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't have enough money to spend."

"What's the matter? It's just a small amount of money. When I cheat those Wall Street tycoons this year, are you afraid that you won't have enough money? But you can go back to Zhongchuan, after all, there are still many things to do there." Shen Ruoxue nodded and said: " I don’t know how Pan Wenhua and the others are doing now, our organization should have grown a lot.”

The construction of the industrial zone has already achieved initial results. After learning that he would maintain warships for the navy, Wei Han was very active. He personally supervised the construction work, giving priority to the construction of the new dock of the shipyard, and started to help the navy maintain it in just one month. The warship is gone.

After handing over the production issues in the industrial zone to Qin Zhongyi and the purchase of machines to Shen Ruoxue, Zhao Shouhong boarded the riverboat back to Zhongchuan.It was Zhao Shouhong's first time to take a ferry on the Longjiang River, or it was his first time to take such a large riverboat, so it was very new to him.

Stepping on the deck and letting the river wind blow on his cheeks, Zhao Shouhong felt refreshed.Since he came to this world, he has always been busy, and rarely has time to relax so leisurely.In this era when the great development has not yet started, I am afraid that only Zhao Shouhong and Shen Ruoxue, two people who came from the development period of the universe, can truly appreciate the beauty of green mountains and green waters.
