It turned out that after Chen Hu collected evidence from Liu Hongqi's house, he quickly transferred it to the imperial capital through Zhao Shouhong's intelligence system, and then sent it to Yushi as an anonymous reporter.These self-proclaimed upright officials were worried that there would be no major cases that could make them famous. After obtaining these evidences, they felt like they had found a treasure, so they wrote a letter to impeach Liu Hongqi.

Xiliang soon received an order from the court, asking him to arrest Liu Hongqi on the charge of colluding with bandits to disrupt the local area.It's just that the matter was not secret, after hearing the news, Liu Hongqi fled away first with his confidant salt protection team.

Zhao Shouhong's stumbling block was completely removed, and the salt mine in Qianwei City was also in the hands of Wang Huitong, the Tong Zhi of the salt affairs who was familiar with him.There is an acquaintance who controls the salt mine, and his chemical factory can finally buy enough salt as a raw material.As for Liu Hongqi's gold, silver and jewelry worth 10 taels of silver, it was a windfall. Except some of them were given to the special forces as bonuses, the rest was used by him as a special fund for free education in primary and secondary schools across Sichuan. It can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people.

Just when Zhongchuan's personnel changed and Wu Peifu was busy suppressing bandits, Zhao Shouhong was busy with his first electrical factory.Stella went to work on his sound films and storage batteries, and Zhao Shouhong could only manage the factory affairs by himself.Fortunately, there were still a few biochemists who had been imported with the ability of an electrical engineer. Under the leadership of his electrical maintenance engineer, the factory used the glass tube made by the glass factory to quickly package Hualan's first electronic tube.

Although such a primitive electronic tube was produced, Zhao Shouhong was really excited.Because from this moment on, he was finally able to give full play to his strengths.Under the hand-in-hand teaching of Zhao Shouhong and the biochemical engineers, the workers quickly became familiar with the production process of the electronic tube, and the output and quality also increased accordingly.

With enough materials, Zhao Shouhong was naturally not idle, and he immediately made the first transceiver, walkie-talkie, and radio with electronic tubes.Although these devices use electronic tubes, they are large in size and low in power, and they need to be turned on and warmed up for a period of time before each use.But these are the beginnings of the electronics industry after all. With Zhao Shouhong here, this industry will soon become Hualan's pillar industry.

With the encouragement of new products, Zhao Shouhong's creative inspiration seemed out of control. He quickly trial-produced a three-phase asynchronous AC motor, a high-power hydroelectric generator set, and several kinds of electric-driven lathes.Although with the scale of the electrical appliance factory, the production speed of various products is still very low, and at the same time, many large-scale equipment needs to be gradually equipped by Zhongchuan Machinery Bureau, but this is a good start after all, and these equipment are also more advanced than similar foreign products many.

Just when Zhao Shouhong was excitedly involved in the research and development of new electrical equipment, and began to lead apprentices, the two came to the industrial base of Ningyuan Hall to look for him.These two people were Luo Guorui and Zhou Chuanjian. Hearing that they were looking for him, Zhao Shouhong immediately put down his work and met with them.

When Luo Guorui and Zhou Chuanjian saw Zhao Shouhong again, their hearts were full of surprise.Since he hurried back from the electrical appliance factory, Zhao Shouhong was still wearing dirty work clothes.He fought continuously in the electric appliance factory, so that he didn't comb his hair or wash his face, and the situation was very embarrassing.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong's slovenly appearance, Luo Guorui smiled and said, "What is Shouhong doing? Are you going to be a worker too?"

Zhao Shouhong straightened his disheveled hair and said with a smile: "Everyone is the same. It is always unkempt to devote yourself to the work that you are good at. The only difference between us is that I am good at electricity and you are good at railways. This time you come to find What's my business? Why didn't Lu Xigui and Kuang Sunmou come with you?"

Chapter 127 Opening a Cave

Zhou Chuanjian smiled and said: "The two of them are naturally going to survey the railway line from Lanzhou to Yili. I think the terrain there is fairly flat, and the work is relatively easy according to the drawings you gave, so we came here. The railway line you want from Xining to Batang has to go through high mountains, and the survey and construction are not easy, so the two of us hope to start the survey in advance so as not to delay the construction period.”

Zhao Shouhong slapped his head, and then he remembered that he had forgotten such an important thing.He smiled and said to the two of them: "Brother Guorui and Brother Chuanjian are exhausted from the long journey. Let's rest here for two days. I will organize some troops to escort you to go to the survey. I think you should start with the easy ones and then the difficult ones, first in Qingyuan Province. Do some surveys, and then go into the mountains to have a look, so that you can speed up."

Zhou Chuanjian nodded and said: "Alright, let's take a rest for two days before going to survey, and prepare some field supplies by the way. When I came here, I saw that the scale of your construction here is not small. Just looking at the factories and equipment built Thought I was back in Philadelphia."

Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "It's just a small fight. If I don't make enough money, I can't provide funds to repair the railway, can I? It is necessary to expand the scale of production."

Luo Guorui nodded and said: "That's right, Shou Hong is indeed a pillar of talent. I don't think it will be long before your place will become the best and largest industrial base in the country. Maybe in a few decades, you can surpass Chicago."

"If there is such a day, it will be great." Zhou Chuanjian couldn't help being full of yearning.

"There will be a day like this. You have a good rest today, and tomorrow I will send someone to take you around." Zhao Shouhong replied with a smile.

The construction of this railway needs to pass through a series of famous mountain ranges such as Qilian Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and Daxue Mountain. How to speed up the progress of the project is what Zhao Shouhong cares most about.So after sending the two away, he immediately found Zhao Qian and Sun Wei, the leaders of the biochemical guards.

"Boss, what are you looking for?" Zhao Qian and Sun Wei have been spending time in the recruit camp these days. They are already tired of training those recruits. Now Zhao Shouhong seems to have some new mission for them. They are very excited.

"Of course it's something big." Zhao Shouhong looked at the two of them, and then asked, "Can you use the small laser cannon installed on the space hospital with bare hands?"

Sun Wei and Zhao Qian looked at each other, asking them to use the shipborne laser cannon with bare hands, even the smallest one was a bit reluctant.Sun Wei pondered for a moment and said: "Based on the physique of our biochemical guards, if two people use it together, it should be barely enough."

"That's good." Zhao Shouhong slapped his thigh and said, "You immediately take all the biochemical guards back to the space hospital and dismantle the four laser cannons."

As he spoke, he took out a detailed railway drawing and unfolded it: "You have to follow this route and use laser cannons to open caves where all the mountains block you. Remember that I want to build a double-track railway, caves Make it bigger."

"There is no problem with this, but we are all gone, boss, what should you do if you are in danger?" Zhao Qian asked.

"You don't have to worry about it." Zhao Shouhong said: "You should go in a team of ten, and each team should bring two laser cannons. Remember to act quickly and cover the laser cannons along the way to avoid leaking information. Don't let anyone see it. Come to your actions, and return immediately after completion."

"Understood, but even if they are carried out in groups, these projects will not be completed in half a year. The main reason is that the roads are difficult, and it will take us a long time to get there." Sun Wei frowned.

"Forget it, I'll contact Shen Ruoxue first and ask her to transfer the shuttle back and transport you there directly. Remember that you must act quickly, and you must complete the task within a month." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said.

"As long as there is a shuttle machine to deliver it directly, the task is guaranteed to be completed within one month." Sun Wei nodded.

After sending away the two cyborg guards, Zhao Shouhong sent another message to Shen Ruoxue. "How is the situation in the White Eagle Country? Are you ready to start harvesting?" Zhao Shouhong joked in the communication.

"How is it possible? I'm currently pushing up the stock price crazily, and I plan to make a fortune at that time. I warn you in advance, don't borrow a large amount of money from me today. Now that I have more money in my hand, I will be able to Earn a hundred times more profit." Shen Ruoxue warned.

Zhao Shouhong said with a bitter face: "No way, the railway here is about to start construction, how can we do it without money?"

"I have set aside the money for the railway repair, enough for you." Shen Ruoxue replied angrily.

"Another big problem is that I need to add two railways. I have to build the railway from Ya'an to Ningyuanting and Chengdu, which also requires money." Zhao Shouhong is still complaining.

"I really don't know if you are running a business or burning money. Others run a business to make money, but you are losing money. Without me, you would have gone bankrupt." Shen Ruoxue said: "The railway can't be repaired in a year. A part of the money is enough for several railways. Besides, you produce the rails and sleepers yourself, so can you owe the purchase cost first?"

"So that's the case. It seems that I was worrying for nothing." Zhao Shouhong chuckled.

"You are a fool. You don't have any economic sense. Why do you open factories? I think heavy industry can indeed enhance national defense strength, but the return of funds is too slow. I suggest you develop some light industries, even if it is to raise funds for heavy industries. Yes." Shen Ruoxue taught again.

"You're right, I'll definitely listen to you. Tomorrow you find a cyborg to drive the shuttle back. I need it urgently."

"No problem, I'll have someone drive me back tonight, but I'm very busy right now, so I can't go back for now." Shen Ruoxue said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't come back, no one misses you anyway." Zhao Shouhong joked.

"Hmph, there are too many people who miss me, you can't be ranked." Shen Ruoxue seemed to enjoy Zhao Shouhong's ambiguous tone, and she laughed while speaking: "I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go to the stock exchange, Remember to miss me every day, if you don't miss you, you will die." After she finished speaking, she hung up the communication.

"I miss you every day? Who do you think I am?" Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said, "Should I be in a relationship? It seems that the little girl Zhao Yuting is more suitable, at least she is more gentle and has the demeanor of a lady. "

After finishing everything, Zhao Shouhong invested in research and development again, and soon he made an old-fashioned telephone again. Although this kind of telephone requires manual interaction and has no dial, it can realize long-distance calls after all. .

Chapter 128 Peng Yingjia Visits

Just when the electric appliance factory was in full swing, Zhao Shouhong was called out from the factory again.As long as the affairs of the two channels are not critical, Xie Mingjue, the coordinator of the Ningyuan Hall, is managing them, so Zhao Shouhong is easily not troubled, but this time, someone came to find Zhao Shouhong, so he had to be alarmed.

Zhao Shouhong didn't know the person who came, but he was an imperial official. Although Zhao Shouhong didn't want to, he had no choice but to meet him out of courtesy.The visitor exchanged greetings with Zhao Shouhong, divided the guests and the host, and Zhao Shouhong asked, "Excuse me, do you know me, sir? Why did you come to me?"

The middle-aged man got up and saluted: "Master Zhao, I am the new Taoist priest of Lanzhou, Peng Yingjia, who also serves as the general office of the General Administration of Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and Mine of the Western Regions Province. This time I am here to ask my lord for advice." Zhao Shouhong and Peng Yingjia were both Taoist priests. But Zhao Shouhong has been promoted to the second rank since he took the position of Zhongchuan Ti Xueshi, which is much higher than Peng Yingjia's position, so he is naturally respectful.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty Peng, you don't need to be too polite. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Peng Yingjia sighed and said: "When I first entered the Western Regions Province, I wanted to revitalize Lanzhou's industry, but after I took office, I found out that the Lanzhou Weaving Bureau built by Mr. Zuo Zongtang had long been abandoned, and the equipment was damaged. I’m an industrial area, so I just wanted to ask if I could sell me some machines to make up for the shortage.”

Zhao Shouhong asked curiously: "Why don't you go to a foreign company to buy? Aren't there more machines over there?"

Peng Yingjia shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know that the road to the northwest is difficult and dangerous, and it is very inconvenient to bring in the machines from the outside. Back then, Master Zuo Zongtang barely managed to get some machines by relying on people pulling horses. After building a factory, it is natural to want to purchase equipment nearby.”

"I don't know what equipment Mr. Peng needs?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

"I have a list here, please read it." Peng Yingjia handed over a piece of paper and said with a smile: "I've been walking all the way, and saw factories under the command of your lord everywhere. It's really shocking."

"The construction has just started, and it hasn't started yet." Zhao Shouhong said humbly, "I can manufacture the equipment you want in the factory in Batang. I will send someone to tell you, and I will send it to you when it is finished."

"Thank you sir, Peng Yingjia is very grateful." Peng Yingjia immediately stood up and saluted.

"Master Peng, you're welcome, but I don't know where your factory is going to open?" Zhao Shouhong just asked casually.

"I plan to build it at the original site, and it will be opened in Lanzhou." Peng Yingjia answered truthfully.

Zhao Shouhong's heart moved, and he suddenly had some ideas: "I think if you want to set up a woolen weaving bureau, you should have a supply of wool nearby. Qingyuan Province is rich in wool, and it is best to build your factory in Xining, which saves the transportation journey. , the cost will drop a lot.”

"Thank you for reminding me, my lord. Peng will definitely handle it accordingly." Peng Yingjia chatted happily with Zhao Shouhong again, and then got up to leave.
