"It's best to go up the river to the Ningyuan Hall. In order to be able to use it flexibly in the river, the tonnage should not be too large. While ensuring seaworthiness, we must strengthen firepower as much as possible. Speed ​​can be sacrificed, as long as it can keep up with the escorting river." That's enough." Zhao Shouhong said without thinking.

Yang Lianchen frowned and shook his head: "My lord means to use gunboats to escort the freighter, but as far as I know, the water bandits on the river are easy to deal with. As long as the riverboat deploys a row of soldiers, they will not dare to move forward. Why bother?" Such a lot of work."

"I built gunboats to control the Longjiang River. I have to deal with not only water bandits. You will know this in the future. You just remember to build twenty gunboats for me when the shipyard is built." Zhao Shouhong's plan is very simple. In the long run, he has already begun to plan the issue of controlling the Longjiang waterway after the [-] Revolution.In addition, Zhao Shouhong also planned to take advantage of the opportunity of personnel exchange between the two sides to secretly draw out manpower to build a large enough shipyard in Kyaukpyu Port, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese and build large warships.

In order to allow the gunboats to travel freely on the Longjiang and Jinsha Rivers, Zhao Shouhong has already planned to let the biochemical guards who have opened up the train tunnel use shuttles and laser cannons to destroy the dangerous shoals and hidden reefs at the bottom of the river, widening and deepening the route.With so many golden fingers in hand, Zhao Shouhong really never thought about what enemies he needs to be afraid of. As long as he is given time, he can defeat all powerful countries.

"My lord, you haven't answered me yet, why were you so preoccupied just now?" Seeing Zhao Shouhong was a little preoccupied again, Yang Lianchen couldn't help asking.

"Oh, I'm just feeling that there are people who flee every spring, especially in the three provinces of Central South and Hexi in the Western Regions. The imperial court should take care of them. Just now I was calculating, if these people were resettled in Zhongchuan, how much Zhongchuan could bear People's accommodation and food issues." Zhao Shouhong said.

Hearing Zhao Shouhong's words, Yang Lianchen straightened his clothes and gave him a big gift.Zhao Shouhong hurriedly held his hand and said, "Old Yang, what is the meaning of this? Isn't this trying to break me?"

Yang Lianchen shook his head and said, "I thank you on behalf of the common people. I never imagined that there would be such a caring person like your lord in the officialdom today. It's really admirable."

"Mr. Yang is wrong. Why do we have a heart for all people? In fact, we come from among the common people. All the common people are our parents and sisters. It is only our duty to be good to them. The common people elected us to let The reason we lead everyone to live a good life is not to oppress them. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. Only by keeping this in mind at all times and sincerely doing things for the people is the way to be an official.”

Yang Lianchen nodded again and again. At this moment, a burst of applause came from behind the two, and they looked back to see Wu Dezhang.Wu Dezhang walked over with a smile and said, "My lord's words are really unheard of, and they are indeed thought-provoking. But today's officials are appointed by the court, not elected by the people. It is only a republican system to be elected by the people."

Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly. He knew that Wu Dezhang had already joined the Gongxinghui, so he used such words to test him. "Does the leader of the republic system must be elected by the people? The monarchy is not independent of the people." Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said: "Look at the republic system of the White Eagle Kingdom. Those presidents who came to power, who didn't make speeches everywhere and yelled at the people Promises to win votes, but when he becomes president, he only cares about the interests of those big conglomerates, as for the promises to the people at the bottom, how many people still remember?"

"This..." Wu Dezhang couldn't help being dumb. He really wanted to refute Zhao Shouhong, but this kind of situation did exist objectively, and he couldn't tolerate sophistry.

Chapter 229 Aiding Refugees

"Do you know what this is for?" Zhao Shouhong didn't seem to intend to get an answer from the other party. After asking this sentence, he immediately explained: "This is because the presidents themselves represent the interests of the big chaebols. Otherwise, where would they give speeches all over the country, and where would the funds come from? Naturally, they would be supplied by these chaebols, and they would have to take care of these chaebols when they came to power, otherwise they would be knocked down."

"Not really. As far as I know, President Theodore Roosevelt of the White Eagle State just issued an anti-monopoly law a few years ago, breaking up the Rockefeller Foundation." Wu Dezhang seemed to have caught the problem, and immediately cited an example.

"There are two factions in the White Eagle Consortium. Of course, I know that President Roosevelt is a Republican, which is supported by the Rockefeller Consortium, but he turned his back on his own people. I can affirm that such a president will definitely not be able to He was re-elected because he offended someone who shouldn't be offended." Zhao Shouhong said: "Actually speaking, the White Eagle Kingdom is a merchant politics, and everything in the country exists for the interests of merchants. Domestic merchants open up trade routes, expand the source of raw materials and the places where products are dumped.”

"The characteristic of capitalism is merchant politics, a politics led by economy. The reason why this method cannot succeed in China is because the power of Chinese merchants is too weak, and a large part of them has the dual characteristics of merchants and landlords. Identity." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"My lord, it's too early to say. Whether Gonghe can succeed in Hualan, we can only wait and see." Wu Dezhang said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "It depends on the nature of the problem. With Hualan's current situation, the republic system cannot succeed unless the power of merchants reaches a certain level. In Hualan, at least for a long time, such a change is impossible. If the republic is to be enforced, it must be the result of a melee between warlords."

Zhao Shouhong's words made Wu Dezhang silent. He frowned and thought about these words, but he still couldn't come up with a clue.For ordinary people who do not know the future, it is unimaginable to him that the republic he has always insisted on cannot be implemented.

Wanting to ease the atmosphere, Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "Any kind of system must be suitable for the national conditions of the country if it is to be successful. It is hard to say whether changing the political system in Hualan is good or bad. We must be cautious. It is a major issue related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. What if the revolution succeeds, but they are even more displaced?" Zhao Shouhong pointed to the refugees on the shore while speaking.

"Refugees are displaced, without food and clothes, can it be worse?" Wu Dezhang glanced at the large number of refugees on the shore and said.

"It's better to die than to live. Once the warlords fight, it will be difficult for them to survive." Zhao Shouhong's words blocked Wu Dezhang, his face was flushed, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

Yang Lianchen was afraid that what the two said would turn their faces too much, so he immediately smiled and said, "It's hard to tell the difference in this kind of thing just by talking about it. Let's see if the country develops better in the future. The most important thing right now is whether we can help each other." Look at these refugees."

Zhao Shouhong turned his head and said, "Wang Lingji."

"Here." Not far away, Wang Lingji immediately ran over, stood at attention, saluted the military, and said, "What are your orders?"

"Where are we?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

Wang Lingji looked at the two sides and said, "It seems that we are going to Anqing soon."

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "When you arrive in Anqing, you lead a platoon to disembark, and I will give you a money order of [-] Yingyang. You will station here to receive the nearby refugees and resettle them. When our people come over, they will be transported to Go to Zhongchuan. Remember that accepting refugees must be voluntary and cannot be forced.”

"It's my lord, but if there are too many refugees, one hundred thousand eagles won't last long." Wang Lingji said.

"I will notify someone to come and pick you up as soon as possible. If the money is not enough, send someone to Guanghai to get it from Qin Zhongyi, and he will give it to you." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand, and Wang Lingji saluted and left immediately.

"Your Majesty is so compassionate, I really admire Wu." Wu Dezhang's complexion finally improved. When he saw that Zhao Shouhong was willing to spend so much money to send people to resettle refugees, he was very moved.

"The most important resource of a country is its people. If the people cannot have food and clothing and a stable life, the country as a whole cannot be prosperous. When we help refugees, we are actually helping our country." Zhao Shouhong said meaningfully.

The river ship that Zhao Shouhong was on soon docked at the wharf in Anqing, and the ship needed to replenish coal and water. Zhao Shouhong also hoped to wait until the refugees had a basic resettlement place before leaving, so the river ship was delayed here.I heard that Chief Minister Nakagawa passed by and set up a refugee camp outside the city to take care of the refugees. All the refugees gathered nearby gathered here, and tens of thousands of people soon gathered in a forest outside the city.

When there are too many people, it is natural to need management. Wang Lingji is good at handling affairs. He immediately organized the refugees like an army. Every ten to 20 people formed a small team. He elected the captain himself. Five teams formed a battalion. For a patrol, set up a patrol chief, so that the refugees are quickly organized together.

Seeing that the refugees were suffering from hunger and cold, Zhao Shouhong asked the soldiers to buy food in the city, and at the same time recruited the young and strong through their organization. Under the leadership of the inspectors, he cut wood and built houses, and set up a temporary camp outside the city. Soon some simple thatched houses were built.

Wang Lingji sent people to contact the major merchants nearby and signed contracts with them to provide food.These merchants are also very willing to transport grain to earn profits, and the two sides hit it off.With Yingyang opening the way, although the price of food is relatively expensive, it can be supplied in sufficient quantities.The soldiers bought dozens of cauldrons and set them up in front of the camp to cook porridge. The refugees finally drank their first mouthful of hot porridge since fleeing famine, and everyone's emotions gradually stabilized.

Seeing that the refugees had been fully resettled, Zhao Shouhong felt a little more at ease. The accompanying Wu Dezhang, Yang Lianchen, and even the Curie couple watched Zhao Shouhong lead Wang Lingji and others to rush there, and even helped cook porridge and build a house. Everyone praised him.

For several days in a row, although the number of refugees gathered more and more, they were finally resettled.Zhao Shouhong knew that these refugees could not stay for long, so he decided to return to Zhongchuan immediately, and organized manpower and material resources to move the refugees to Zhongchuan as soon as possible.

Now it is the time of spring famine, and food is ridiculously expensive. Only by letting these people move to Zhongchuan can they use their food reserves nearby, and at the same time arrange jobs for them, reducing the cost of resettling refugees.Zhao Shouhong planned to leave Anqing immediately and continue up the river to return to Zhongchuan, but Wang Lingji brought him someone.

2 Thirty Chapters The Botanist

"My lord, this gentleman said he must see you, so I brought him here." Wang Lingji said helplessly.

"Oh?" Zhao Shouhong looked at the middle-aged man who came with him. He looked like he was in his 40s, with a pair of deep eyes on his thin face. Although the long gown on his body was a little worn out, it was washed very clean. The whole person exudes a strong bookish atmosphere, which makes people know that he is a scholar at a glance.

Zhao Shouhong saluted and said, "Sir, may I ask if you are..."

"My lord is well, I'm going sightseeing at Xiazhong." The middle-aged man said, "I'm studying botany. This time I plan to take my students to Zhongchuan to collect specimens. I passed by Anqing and heard about your magnanimity, so I came here to have a look."

"Zhong Guanguang?" Zhao Shouhong gasped. Zhong Guanguang was the pioneer of Hualan's modern botany. Hualan was the first scholar to use scientific methods to extensively study plant classification, and he was also the first scholar to collect plant specimens.Of course, these were not the reasons why Zhao Shouhong remembered them deeply. The reason why he was surprised was because Zhong Ping, the director of [-] Space Hospital, always told him that he was a direct descendant of Zhong Guanguang, and he was proud of it.In other words, after such a time travel, I actually met the ancestor of the dean.

Regarding Zhong Guanguang's deeds, Zhong Ping had told it more than once, and Zhao Shouhong's ears were almost covered with cocoons, and he would not let it go when he saw a real person this time.Because he has been lacking a person proficient in botany to preside over the research room of the space hospital.

On the Space Hospital, there is a plant research laboratory that Zhong Ping once presided over. It is the most advanced plant research institution in the country and plays a pivotal role in the future space age.Before this time travel, Zhong Ping took his entire team to the Capital Star for a meeting, but he missed the opportunity to come to this era, and now there are no researchers in this laboratory.

Although biochemical doctors are proficient in pharmacological treatments, they have no creativity. They are not competent for research work, so Zhao Shouhong has been looking for such a person who can lead the way in research.This person's knowledge may be insufficient, but he must have basic research ability and understanding of botany. As long as he has these two points, he can quickly grow up in that laboratory.

In the future space age, plant research is a big topic, and it is also very important to the country's strategy, so it is impossible for him to give up such a good opportunity.Zhong Guanguang has such qualifications, as long as he is willing to cooperate with him to support the laboratory, even if the research and development ability is thousands of miles behind Zhong Ping, he is definitely an existence against the sky in this era, and the golden finger in his hand will be gone again. one extra.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong's eyes on Zhong Guanguang became brighter and brighter, Wang Lingji couldn't help shivering, thinking to himself that this lord doesn't have any special hobbies.Fortunately, Zhao Shouhong's words dispelled his thoughts: "Mr. Zhong, are you studying botany? Can you stay and work in Zhongchuan? I have the most advanced botanical research institute in the world, but unfortunately there has never been a master to preside over it." .”

"Oh?" Zhong Guanguang was quite surprised. He always thought that few people in Hualan realized the importance of botany. He didn't expect that there was a very advanced research institute in Zhongchuan. This made him quite curious and wanted to Go and have a look.Thinking about Zhao Shouhong's charitable act of taking in refugees, he felt that it was unlikely that he would be deceived and he would not suffer any losses, so he readily agreed.

"Of course I would like to go and have a look, but this time I took the students to Zhongchuan to collect specimens, what should they do?" Zhong Guanguang asked.

"There are still students? That's great. Anyway, you need assistants for your research. Just let them all enter the research institute. I will give you a high salary." Zhao Shouhong said.

"Thank you so much, sir." Zhong Guangguan's face was full of joy. The research on plants cost a lot to collect specimens, and his personal financial resources were not enough. Now that someone is willing to fund his research, he naturally Happy.

Taking Zhong Guanguang and others with him, Zhao Shouhong's riverboat boarded again. Before leaving, in order to maintain the security of the refugee camp, Zhao Shouhong left two platoons of soldiers for Wang Lingji, and he returned to Zhongchuan with only one guard platoon.After landing at Chaotianmen Wharf, Zhao Shouhong saw the first surprise.With the full efforts of his construction team, the Shu-Chongqing Railway has already completed more than half of it. He can travel [-] kilometers in a horse-drawn carriage, reverse the car once, and arrive in Shudu by train, which saves a lot of time.

After visiting Zhao Erxun, Ma Weiqi and others, he returned to Jianchang Road after a long absence.Although because of the empress dowager's decree, he was not only able to resume his original post, but was also promoted to be the chief minister of Zhongchuan, but after all, his roots are in western Sichuan, so he will naturally go back to his own territory to take a look when he comes back.

After returning to Yazhou, the staff and the heads of various research institutes stationed here visited the door one after another. Of course, under Zhao Shouhong's men, it is absolutely forbidden to show courteousness and flatter, and none of these people came to flatter. Let Zhao Shouhong solve the problem.

Haber was the first one to come here. Since he established a chemical research institute in Yazhou, he has produced the most results. He can be said to be the most productive of all major research institutes in Yazhou. He came here this time to request the expansion of the chemical plant and increase the number of products. of.

Zhao Shouhong took the research report handed over by Haber, and even he trembled with fright.Haber has been working very hard these days, coupled with the growth of knowledge of those students studying in the Western Continent, among them the strong ones have even begun to take the lead.With the tacit cooperation between the two parties, the speed of research is getting faster and faster.
