Chapter 767: Electric Lights and Office
Hearing that this building is used by the Northern Song Dynasty Embassy, Fu Bi was slightly surprised, he had considered before, how to send an envoy, or live in a special hotel, buy a piece of land to build a house, the latter is better than the former.
This directly given building, Fu Bi wanted to resign, but was blocked by Sun Yuexi in advance, you know, now Shenyang, everything is developing rapidly, all kinds of buildings are under construction, it can't be said that there is no land in Shenyang City, but those lands are at least more than 10 kilometers away from the core area, and a congestion problem will be a headache at that time.
Sun Yuexi said it so clearly, and told Fu Bi that this is just a building, and after it is handed over to the Northern Song Dynasty, only the envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty are here, and the navy will not arrange personnel, which has a strong sense of privacy.
Fu Bi had no other choice but to choose this, but fortunately, such a building was large enough to accommodate all the envoys.
High-rise buildings, office buildings with offices as the main structure, have appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, such similar high-rise buildings.
In the expansion project of the imperial palace, by the way, the three divisions, the East Mansion, and the Privy Council were all done, but it was done from the aesthetic point of view of the Northern Song Dynasty, although it was a little compact, and it was also a building, but each room was relatively large.
For example, the highest floor, that is, the appearance of 4 floors, is much more than before, but the first floor, that is, several offices, 4 floors, there are more than a dozen office spaces.
Compared with the original office space of the Northern Song Dynasty, it has increased a lot, and dozens of officials are enough to accommodate a large number of officials, which is exactly the same as the current one of the Dinghai Navy.
Dingjun's office, a room is about 20-30 square meters, only the conference room above the floor, and some of the chief's offices are a little larger, and the suite is about fifty or sixty square meters, and the whole is much smaller.
If it is small, it will be dense, and the entire floor adopts a relative arrangement, and the doors are densely packed one by one.
Seeing the size of the office, Fu Bi was slightly disappointed, this is not in line with his aesthetics, but there is not much, this is purchased by the Navy, if it can be used, it will be used first, if it really doesn't work, find a place to build a house in the future.
However, when Sun Yuexi, under the leadership of Sun Yuexi, entered the office building and opened an office, Fu Bi and all the attachés were taken aback.
This building, basically, has been renovated, and also placed a variety of office equipment, for the Dinghai Navy, very important, basic facilities are available.
A seemingly compact office, with a minimum of 4 desks and a maximum of 6, may seem a little dense, but there is no shortage of space.
Sun Yuexi took Fu Bi all the way to visit, the ambassador of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Dinghai Navy, on the second floor, which was an office between the inner and outer coats, and the same office was also available in the third, fourth and fifth, for some officials of the same level.
According to Zhao Xin's understanding of the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty, generally higher officials have many deputies, and even say that a county order seems to be a very small official, but there are four or five deputies including the county officer, the master book, etc., and some large counties, or even more.
The embassy of the Northern Song Dynasty stationed in the Dinghai Navy was an important link between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Dinghai Navy in the future, and under this link, a considerable number of personnel were needed, and if the office method used by the Northern Song Dynasty was followed, it would occupy a huge amount of land.
Although Shenyang has a huge amount of land as a city to build, it is not endless, and such efficiency is not high, in such a mentality, Dingjun prepared such an office building for the Northern Song Dynasty.
I heard that there are four or five people in an office, and Fu Bi has not changed much, but those who follow Fu Bi have some ugly faces, and everyone wants to be comfortable, but unfortunately, the big leaders didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to say anything.
In addition to the offices, there is a large meeting room on each floor, and in the basement, there is a larger meeting room that can accommodate more than 1,000 people.
The meeting is necessary, which has been proved by countless examples in the Dinghai Navy and later generations, of course, if the Northern Song Dynasty does not like it, or does not need it, it is okay to leave it empty.
After a brief visit to the functional buildings, Sun Yuexi took some representatives, including Fu Bi, to introduce some of the layouts and decorations in the office, some of which were seen in the Northern Song Dynasty, but most of them were not seen in the Northern Song Dynasty.
All desks are in the navy style, and the neat desks, chairs and office equipment of later generations do not pay attention to the layout of certain surfaces, but pay more attention to some comfort and practicality.
The theory of ergonomics was also taken out by Zhao Xin, but it was only in the initial stage, but the initial results had already made Fu Bi feel amazed.
What is the glass, at present, although the Northern Song Dynasty is still relatively few, it is not unseen, these offices, all of which are large floor-to-ceiling windows, in the daytime, are relatively bright, but at some time, in the government, they also need to work at night, there are no candles and lanterns here, Fu Bi asked.
Sun Yuexi smiled mysteriously, let everyone enter this office, closed the door, and then closed the curtains, the double curtains, the special blackout cloth shielding, quickly made the whole room dark, and then Sun Yuexila turned on the electric light, and the bright light in an instant illuminated everything in the room, which surprised Fu Bi, which was something that was not seen at all in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At this time, Fu Bi noticed that on the roof of each room, there were one or two, or two or three such lamps, and after turning off the lights, the curtains were opened, and Fu Bi even took a chair and stood on it to observe the light bulb.
It is made of glass, like a big bubble, the inside is a thin structure, and there is a line at the end, there is no candle, and there is no lamp oil, how can it emit such a bright light?
There is no way to explain this problem, at least, Sun Yuexi does not understand electricity, but just a tool that relies on electricity to provide energy and illuminate the house.
Electricity, at present, under the premise that there is no automatic generator, still relies on animal power, or other physical forces to generate electricity, even if Zhao Xin wants to popularize electric lights for the Northern Song Dynasty, it is difficult to function, and for Renzong and Miao Fei, that is, some small lighting of dry batteries, at most is the grade of a flashlight.
There are not many flashlights like this, because there are not many batteries, and every few months, they will be replenished with a batch, and for the time being, only Renzong and Concubine Miao have it, this exists as a novel treasure, and Fu Bi has really never seen it.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between the Dinghai Navy and the Northern Song Dynasty is to obtain the population of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the exchanges between the Northern Song Dynasty will be quite close in the future.
Some things, such as electricity, machinery, etc., are not simply able to figure out, this point, not only Zhao Xin knows, many researchers in the entire Dinghai Navy, are also clear, you said that after watching the electric lamp, you can compare the production of the gourd painting scoop, not impossible, provided that a series of knowledge such as electricity and physics have been mastered to a certain extent.
All kinds of electrical appliances, in this so-called embassy, use a lot, electric lights are only one aspect, some other electrical appliances have been more or less brought over, technology changes life, this, in the electrical appliances, there is no doubt, for example, some electric cooking tools, for example, some heating boiling water.
Fu Bi sighed, faintly, he felt bad, it seemed that he had come to Shenyang, how long had it been, and he had seen the power of the Dinghai Navy from another side, such as this electric light, simply prolonging the working time was enough to be commendable, not to mention, there were other magical machinery, those things he couldn't think of.
Around, there is still a long time, there are still a little more than 4 months before the founding ceremony of the Dinghai Navy, in this time, Fu Bi knows that he has to investigate well, only by understanding the root cause of the strength of the Dinghai Navy, can it be applied to the Northern Song Dynasty, and then promote the Northern Song Dynasty to be more powerful.
Here in the embassy, there are too many houses, and Fubi can't be used up, because according to the introduction, each office, there will be a total of 4-6 desks, and the entire embassy area, according to the number of offices, there are almost more than 700, even if it is an office with 2 people, it can accommodate 1500 people to work, and the limit can accommodate more than 4000 people to work.
It's very big, and it's also very thoughtful, Fu Bi only brought more than 400 people in total, even if it is as much as possible, one or two people, an office, the Northern Song Dynasty has the most, that is, it occupies a little more than three floors, and it is impossible to occupy all nine floors.
But a building, you can't just use 3 floors, the rest of the navy, the people who work here, at the very least, also have some secret missions, many things are secret, it's really not convenient, and share it with others.
After a little concession, Sun Yuexi didn't answer at all, and then it was settled, using 3 layers first, and then going back to talk about it.
Because the nine floors have been renovated, and some office equipment including desks have been arranged, these things, if not used, will be broken if they are placed in vain, and a warehouse will be sealed for the time being, and the rest can be used.
Of course, Fu Bi is on the second floor, and under the premise that the ambassador has not yet been determined, he is the only one who is qualified to live in this room, such a suite, which is not very big, only fifty or sixty square meters in total, about a dozen outside, more than 30 inside, and a small house of eight or nine square meters, mainly with a bed, which can be used for him to rest temporarily.
The whole suite is very convenient, all aspects are well designed, as long as there is a small official outside, you can be a lot of things, and there is even a lounge inside.
For a governor like Fu Bi, no matter how big the room is, it's just like that, but for the attaché, they really haven't seen such convenience.
Whether it is a table, chair, bench, or sofa cabinet or the like, are very good, in short, it is very convenient, some office equipment, such as pens, although not used to use, but used more, such a hard pen, compared to the brush such a simple pen, writing is much faster, and a long time without grinding, you can write directly.
There are too many similar fresh things, even at the beginning, for the office to live three or four people, the slightly dissatisfied with those attachés, see the layout of the office, very satisfied, personal space is there, but also convenient office, sitting on the chair, compared to the Northern Song Dynasty I don't know how much more convenient, and even faintly feel very comfortable.
The whole process of visiting, lasted more than an hour, almost time to eat, under the introduction of Sun Yuexi, they used a large canteen located at the back of the building, which can serve more than 1,000 people, some like the kind of canteen in later generations, with stainless steel plates, self-service form of eating, each other is also relatively compact.
Entering the local customs, Fu Bi also followed a meal, I have to say, Ding Haijun in the food, quite important, a variety of dishes are relatively rich, at least a dozen dishes, meat and vegetarian matching, the taste is also very good.
After settling down a little, Sun Yuexi told Fu Bi that he could choose between the dormitory in the back and the hotel two blocks away.
Fu Bi went to the hotel, which can already be called a state guesthouse, because it is located in the most core area, less than 2 kilometers away from the core office area of the Dinghai Navy, and it is connected by Central Street.
The state guesthouse, with 4-5 floors and a large number of small villas as the theme, is divided into different courtyards, and after seeing it, Fu Bi felt very powerful, but in the end, he still chose to live in the dormitory.
There was a sense of urgency in his heart, so that Fu Bi didn't dare to relax, if it was elsewhere, or even the Dinghai Navy, he would not be so surprised, this is the Tokyo of Liao, at most 3 years ago, he had come over, how long has the Dinghai Navy, full of calculations, only a few months, but it has been built into a larger city than Bianliang.
Being able to build does not necessarily mean anything, in the center of the Northern Song Dynasty, there is a special point of view, that is, the Dinghai Navy has always been a relatively large construction force, such a construction strength, and how many effects can be produced, the railway is very strong, yes, with the railway, many things can become strength, but the railway can not attack the opponent, this is the weakness.
Faintly, Fu Shun felt that this view was wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong.
Or calm down, in Dinghai, take a good look, see what the Northern Song Dynasty lacks, in which aspects the Dinghai is stronger than the Northern Song Dynasty, what needs to be learned, and so on.
