The personal servant girl is going to marry and serve his wife in the inner house all the time. It would be a waste of resources if the cyborg is still dressed up.After Zhao Shouhong thought about it, he thought that there was a shortage of biochemical human beings, and they couldn't be wasted on insignificant things, so he made Xiaocui Shen Ruoxue's wife.

On the day of the wedding, the atmosphere was very lively. Officials from Zhongchuan, big and small, came to the scene one after another, including the four brothers Zhao Erzhen, who were grandparents, and many uncles.The number of guests was too many to count, and later the Zhao family had to set up long street seats in Shudu.

What shocked everyone was that not only Yuan Kai and other court officials sent congratulations, but even the Empress Dowager and Emperor Guangran also gave gifts. Everyone was shocked by the honor Zhao Shouhong received.Even so, Zhao Shouhong's wedding was still not as lively as Prince Qing's [-]th birthday far away in the imperial capital, and the gift he received was probably only a fraction of him. The wealth moved his mind.

Shen Ruoxue's Citibank has merged with Wanguobaotong Bank to form Wanguo Citibank, which is also a well-known big bank in Hualan.After Prince Qing's birthday, a clerk from the bank paid a special visit. He promised high interest rates and many preferential terms to induce Prince Qing to send all the money originally deposited in Standard Chartered Bank to Citibank.

Chapter 1 The Three Chevrolet Brothers

In this way, Shen Ruoxue's wealth of hundreds of millions of taels of silver, a well-known corrupt official in the Later Jin Dynasty, was controlled by Shen Ruoxue.If Prince Qing dies unexpectedly in the future, the money will not be available.

After marriage, Zhao Shouhong lived a leisurely life for a few days. All tasks were carried out step by step, and there was no new work to be carried out in a short period of time. With the whole Tan's class came to Zhongchuan.

Zhao Shouhong was very happy about Tan Xinpei's arrival. He immediately established the Hongpei Peking Opera Troupe in Zhongchuan, and appointed a film company to cast various opera films for them. The world of drama-like movies is over.Shen Ruoxue was very interested in Hualan's opera movies, she immediately informed Maxson to build a new type of cinema in Baiying Country, and planned to introduce these opera movies with sound to make money. Zhao Shouhong strongly supported this.

A few days later, an even bigger happy event happened. The three brothers from the White Eagle Country were received by Zhao Shouhong.These three people are quite famous in history. They are the founders of Chevrolet cars, the three Chevrolet brothers.Zhao Shouhong has long coveted the automobile industry, and he had to intervene earlier in this industry, which will be called the pearl of industry in the next few decades.

Shen Ruoxue has been carrying out this matter step by step. As early as the financial crisis had earned enough capital, Shen Ruoxue took the opportunity to buy a car company called Oakland, which was the predecessor of the later Pontiac car company.Relying on this car company, she began to recruit talents everywhere, and soon Louis Chevrolet, who was working as a racing driver for Buick, was invited to join the Oakland car company.

Maxson, who works as the sole agent of Shen Ruoxue in the United States, personally met him, and explained that they planned to establish a research and development base and a new car factory in Hualan, where manpower is cheap, and invited him to be the chief engineer, and his salary was twice that of White Eagle Country. .The price was acceptable for Chevrolet, who was in a state of poverty, and he made an offer to take his two younger brothers Arthur and Gaston with him, which Maxson readily accepted. .

Soon the engineers and technicians and various equipment transferred from the Oakland Motor Company were loaded onto the freighter. Together with the three Chevrolet brothers, they will establish a new Chevrolet Motor Company in Zhongchuan.Louis Chevrolet was very satisfied with the head office naming the car company Chevrolet. He didn't know that even without Maxson's appreciation, he would establish a car company with the same name a few years later and become a world-renowned brand.

Not long after Zhao Shouhong got married, the three Chevrolet brothers arrived in Zhongchuan, and with them came hundreds of foreign technicians that Shen Ruoxue ordered to recruit from the White Eagle Country.These people have skilled workers in all aspects, and their craftsmanship is very exquisite.

Since the financial crisis, many enterprises in the White Eagle Country have gone bankrupt, and a large number of skilled workers have been living among the people without jobs. Shen Ruoxue recruited them in the name of the company, and sent them to Hualan in the name of opening a branch factory in the Far East. .These foreign technicians were assigned to various factories under Zhao Shouhong, and soon took on the role of the main force, while more young Hualan apprentices surrounded them every day to learn various technical skills.

The automobile factory was quickly established in Ningyuan Hall, and the three brothers also met Zhao Shouhong.In this era, Caucasians discriminate against yellow races a lot. In order to convince the three Chevrolet brothers, Zhao Shouhong deliberately re-skinned a backup biochemical human into a Caucasian and renamed him Walter. representative.

After the meeting, Zhao Shouhong discovered that the three Chevrolet brothers did not discriminate against people of yellow race, they were rare pacifists, and they were very kind to everyone, which made him very fond of them.Under Vort's arrangement, Louis Chevrolet quickly started the development of new models. With the help of Zhongchuan Machinery Bureau and Fengru Aircraft Factory, the engine was not a problem at all, and the development of the new model was progressing very quickly.As for Chevrolet's two younger brothers, the 15-year-old elder brother Arthur is very interested in machinery and soon became Louis' good helper, while the younger brother Gaston, who was just 12 years old, unexpectedly became the helper of the three Sun Liren brothers. good friend.

Naturally, Zhong Chuan was not the only one who made moves during this period. When Zhao Shouhong was on his honeymoon, the rebel army led by Huang Bin turned from Zhennan Pass to Qinlian and Lianzhou, and encountered Guo Renqing's troops on the way.In a fierce battle between the two sides, Huang Bin frightened Guo Renqing with firecrackers, which resulted in the opponent's big retreat. Two hundred rebels chased thousands of Jin troops to attack, and occupied many passes.If it weren't for the reinforcements of the follow-up troops, this second Qin Lian uprising would have almost succeeded.After this battle, Huang Bin became famous, and has since gained the reputation of Zhibing.

Shi Liangcai had completely implemented Zhao Shouhong's idea. All manuscripts were reviewed by himself. "Shenbao" began to introduce the deeds of the revolutionary party and Huang Bin's life in lengthy articles. Guang Haidao was so angry that he always wanted to search the newspaper.

Before the opening of "Shenbao", Zhao Shouhong considered Shi Liangcai's honesty, so he put the address of the newspaper next to Hujiang University in the public concession.This church school funded and built by Citibank is now Shen Ruoxue's property, so naturally she takes great care of "Shen Bao".

There are people from Citibank in the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the head of the public concession, so the imperial court has repeatedly asked the concession to ban the "Shenbao", but the representatives of Citibank have pushed back in the name of freedom of the press, and Shi Liangcai was able to safely publish in the newspaper. 'Propaganda treason'.

Due to Shi Liangcai's novel ideas and bold selection of materials, he dares to say things that others dare not to say, and he has created a large number of columns, which can satisfy the preferences of people from all walks of life.Shi Liangcai used advertising revenue to lower the price of the newspaper, which led to a steady increase in the sales of Shenbao, and soon became the most influential newspaper in Guanghai City and even the surrounding provinces.

In order to support Shi Liangcai, Shen Ruoxue deliberately took advantage of Citibank's position in the school's board of directors to reorganize Hujiang University, reducing theology courses as much as possible and organizing it into a separate theology department. In addition, a large number of natural science courses and other colleges were added. Among them, the Department of Journalism was added specifically to cultivate talents for Shi Liangcai.

Hujiang University relied on such a method of stealing and changing posts, and quickly got rid of the shadow of the seminary and became a very influential modern university in Hualan.Zhao Shouhong was also able to use this university to absorb scientists from various countries in the Western Continent and the New World to teach, took the opportunity to train his own talents in batches, and established some basic science laboratories.

Chapter 191

The comments in the "Shenzhen" became more and more fierce, and soon changed from praising Huang Bin to criticizing the big and small officials in the DPRK and China. The constitutionalists were all described as conspiratorial careerists, which Zhao Shouhong did not expect.

They can't be arrested, and they can't be sealed. Officials of the imperial court hate the "Declaration" to the core.Now that he is in the concession, the imperial court has nothing to do with it, and it cannot let it develop, so it just keeps on cursing.The helpless Prince Jin Zaifeng finally thought of a good way, and soon the court promulgated the Law of Rewarding Gold.

The Law of Houjin Report stipulates that all newspapers and periodicals published within the scope of Houjin must be reported to the government in advance, and a time limit is set before publication, and they will be checked by the Patrol Office or the local government office, and they can be circulated in various places after passing the test.Zaifeng's move is absolutely ruthless, so that if the layout of "Shenbao" fails to pass the inspection, the published newspaper cannot be sold in the rental industry, so that its influence can be minimized.Unexpectedly, Shi Liangcai's radical behavior gave birth to the earliest news law in Hualan's history.

Although Shi Liangcai was a little dissatisfied with the court's approach, there was nothing he could do.Naturally, criticizing the government and praising the Revolutionary Party would not work. He quickly remembered Zhao Shouhong's original proposal, and the "Shenbao" immediately began to change its style.The newspapers began to introduce the latest scientific and technological achievements of the countries in the Western Continent, the local customs, and political systems there.In addition, the article also commented on various domestic companies, especially focusing on the changes in Zhongchuan in the past two years, which was regarded as a free advertisement for Zhao Shouhong.

With "Shenbao"'s honest reputation, old readers believed in these articles. Soon Zhao Shouhong's western Sichuan industrial system spread among the people, and many businessmen began to pay attention to the changes in Zhongchuan.Yu Qiaqing and Zhu Baosan also read the newspaper, and they also became interested in Zhongchuan's current situation.In order to expand the business of the Ningbo Merchant Gang, the two made an appointment to visit Zhongchuan. They boarded the riverboat to Zhongchuan with only a few followers without notifying anyone.

Zhao Shouhong's honeymoon had a good time, and this time he also passed the risk.Fortunately, in the space age more than 1000 years later, due to the large loss of men in space exploration, in order to ensure the population, the country did not prohibit polygamy, so Shen Ruoxue so easily agreed to two women to serve one husband.

Now that the two women were nourished by Zhao Shouhong, they became more and more radiant, and they were very eye-catching when walking on the street. In order not to cause a sensation, he had to let the two wives wear hats with veils.In order to accompany his two wives wholeheartedly and to express his guilt, he purposely moved to the more prosperous Shu capital, and his daily job became shopping with beauties.

Sun Yuting completely let go of her chemical experiments and just went shopping happily every day. She found that she was in a particularly good mood when shopping with Shen Ruoxue.However, Zhao Shouhong suffers from all this. He can only wander around with the two girls while thinking about the future development every day. Fortunately, there are guards to help carry things, otherwise he will be even more depressed.

"How do you feel about the current development? Is there anything else we should do?" Shen Ruoxue never forgot to discuss countermeasures with Zhao Shouhong when she was shopping. This was probably the true nature of her spy, and she never let herself relax.

"The new situation should be gone for the time being. Recently, Prince Jin Zaifeng was named Minister of Military Aircraft, which means that the Empress Dowager is already paving the way for Pu Yi to ascend the throne, so I gave him a generous gift, which is more than the gift for Prince Qing's [-]th birthday. It's more serious, I guess he won't be embarrassed to punish me for a while." Except for Shen Ruoxue, no one could understand Zhao Shouhong's words, because what they were talking about was the enthronement of Emperor Xuanxing that had not yet happened.

"Perhaps, but you can't pin your hopes on Zaifeng's embarrassment. Prince Qing will try his best to win her over." Shen Ruoxue nodded.

"No matter who goes up or down, it's only when you are strong that you have the last word, so recently I invested a lot of money in Prince Qing, intending to buy a few more official positions in Zhongchuan, and put in the backbone of the Vanguard Party, and then we will proceed step by step. control Zhongchuan." Zhao Shouhong said in a low voice, "It is estimated that this decree will come down soon, so that I can relax and share the risk at the same time. In case I am targeted by diehards, all our work will be hindered .”

"That's good. I heard that Xia Yeping Company has just been established. Sheng Xingsun is really quick. He has combined Xiakou Iron Works, Daye Iron Mine and Pingxiang Coal Mine in just a few days." Shen Ruoxue laughed.

"That's normal. Sheng Xingsun was provoked by me, and he's ready to do something big. But if he borrows money from you to open a new factory, how do you plan to deal with it?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

Shen Ruoxue snorted softly and said, "I won't lend it to him. If I borrow money from these bureaucrats, I will never return it."

"We can also use this to control Xia Yeping." Zhao Shouhong suggested.

"Have you forgotten the Revolution of [-]? When the time comes, it will be confiscated by the Revolutionary Party. Who should I turn to?" Shen Ruoxue said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "Don't you know how daring the Gongxing Society is? You borrowed money from a company invested by White Eagle, and the Revolutionary Party dare not touch you."

"I don't care. Let Sheng Xingsun borrow money from Japanese people. I have been eyeing William Durant recently. This time I plan to fight him hard and let him know how powerful my aunt is." Shen Ruoxue said: "I It needs a lot of money, and I don’t have the money to invest in factories and mines.”

"Okay, okay, the auto industry is important, Sheng Xingsun will let him fend for himself." Zhao Shouhong had no choice but to surrender.Shen Ruoxue is his God of Wealth, so what can he do if he doesn't follow suit, not to mention Zhao Shouhong is born afraid of his wife.

"Sister Ruoxue, come and see, it's so lively here." Sun Yuting was a little unhappy seeing Zhao Shouhong and the two chatting behind.Seeing the crowds in front of her, she immediately took the opportunity to pull Shen Ruoxue away.

Zhao Shouhong looked up and found that the opening ceremony of a school was in front of him.Looking at the crowds in front of the gate, it seems that they are all students waiting to be admitted.At this time, a rather thin young man was overwhelmed by others, and bumped into Zhao Shouhong's body.The guards became anxious when they saw it, and they were busy going over to pull the man away, but Zhao Shouhong stopped them.

Pulling up the boy who fell on the ground, Zhao Shouhong patted the dirt on his body and said with a smile, "Young man, where are you from? What are you here for?"

When the young man saw such a man with many guards, he knew that he must be a high-ranking official, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.But seeing the other party's amiable and soft-spoken questions, his heart gradually calmed down: "My lord, I'm from Chongshan City, and I'm here to apply for Chengdu No. [-] Middle School." The young man said honestly answered.

Chapter 192 Car Acquisition

"You are from Chongshan City, why did you come to Shudu to study for a middle school? Isn't there a middle school in Chongshan City?" Zhao Shouhong asked curiously.

"Naturally, you have to find a good school to go to school. Anyway, I didn't say that you are not allowed to come to Shudu to take the exam. I think I am sure about today's entrance exam." Looking at the young man's confident appearance, Zhao Shouhong asked: "Just be sure, I hope you can pass the exam. What's your name? How old are you this year?"

"My lord, my name is Lu Zuofu, I'm 15 years old this year." The boy replied unsuspectingly, but Zhao Shouhong was startled by his answer.

"What? Your name is Lu Zuofu? You're from Hechuan, Chongshan City? You used to be called Kuixian?" Zhao Shouhong cried out in surprise. After receiving an affirmative answer, he was finally sure that he had accidentally found someone who he thought would be an expert in future generations.

He had heard about this pioneer of the Hualan shipping industry for a long time. In the original historical time and space, Lu Zuofu dropped out of school after graduating from elementary school because of his poor family.But with his own hard work, he became a talent by self-study, and later he was able to open a school, teach middle school mathematics, and compiled "Lu Si's Complete Mathematical Explanation", "Middle Algebra", "Triangle", "Geometry and other latest lecture notes" And a series of mathematics books such as "New Solutions to Applied Number Problems".

However, these are not the most famous places for Lu Zuofu. He once established many famous enterprises, including Beichuan Railway, Tianfu Mining Company, Sanxia Dyeing and Weaving Factory, Hualan Western Academy of Sciences, Jianshan Middle School, Xia District Local Hospital and Minsheng Shipping Company. , especially Minsheng Shipping Company is the most famous.

With a small number of civilian ships, he once carried out the famous retreat along the river. During the two-month wet period, he transported a large number of machinery and equipment, strategic materials and refugees who had retreated to Yibin to Chongshan City, which was preserved for the country. It can be described as a miracle in the history of world shipping.

For such a talent, Zhao Shouhong will naturally not let it go. It is his best way to make emotional investment while the other party is not yet prosperous.Under Lu Zuofu's astonished eyes, Zhao Shouhong quickly calmed down, and he replied with a calm look and said with a smile: "You should have no family in Sichuan, where do you live?"

"The school provides free board and lodging, so there is no need to go home." Lu Zuofu said with a smile.

"If you don't have a place to go on rest days, how about coming to me? I'll take you to play nearby, so that you won't be homesick." Zhao Shouhong's words had a strong sense of seduction, but he forgot that the other party was just a teenager, and he was so enthusiastic about strangers. It's easy to be hostile.After Lu Zuofu became suspicious of Zhao Shouhong, he immediately rejected him, and claimed that he was about to enter the examination room and could not stay here for long.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you know who I am?" Of course Lu Zuofu shook his head.
