Chapter 406: Chinese Medicine is Broad and Profound
Gao Junshan said: "That's why I came to you!" ”
Cao Minghao was deeply puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with students?" ”
Gao Junshan said: "Crossing the Atlantic, although the road is a little farther, but we have a navigation chart, and the voyage will be much smoother." Dabao, their logistical supply depends on you, Mayor Cao! ”
Cao Minghao asked: "The chief of the mountain means to use this group of immigrants to provide logistical support for Dabao. ”
"You're right." Gao Junshan nodded approvingly, "I asked them to go to England first, wait for the immigrants in England, and after the ship that transported them arrived in England, they would not return, and would go to the Americas with the battleship." ”
Cao Minghao was still puzzled, and asked again: "Aren't these ships just for transporting immigrants to the Americas?" ”
Gao Junshan explained: "When you arrive in the UK, you have to drop off half of the migrants, so that you can free up the cabin to transport supplies, and when the ship arrives in the Americas, you can return to the UK to transport the migrants and supplies. ”
Cao Minghao suddenly realized and said, "Very wonderful! This method of delivery kills two birds with one stone. ”
Gao Junshan instructed: "You have to equip them with all the necessities of life, especially the power generation equipment, after they go to the Americas, they will have to deal with the difficulties of nature alone, they will save a lot of trouble when they have electricity, and they also need electricity to send electricity." ”
Cao Minghao said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely equip them with all the equipment." ”
"You know what I mean, now you can go back and prepare." Gao Junshan is about to roll up the nautical chart.
Cao Minghao seemed to have discovered something, and said in surprise: "Mountain Chief, let's go to Europe, isn't there a waterway with a very close headline?" ”
The nautical chart of Gao Junshan is the most precise, even the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal are marked on the map, and the maps copied to the navy for nautical charts are not marked, because there were no these two canals at that time, so the map copied for the navy was erased by Gao Junshan to avoid misnavigation of warships.
Now, Cao Minghao clearly saw an arrow on the nautical chart, that is, the ship could pass through the Suez Canal.
Gao Junshan put away the map and explained to him: "This channel is impassable, and the reason why I marked this channel is to prepare to open a canal at that location. This is the task ahead, and we do not yet have the conditions to open up such a large project. But you have to keep this matter a secret, this picture of mine can only be seen by corps-level generals, and I let you see it today, because I trust you. ”
Cao Minghao hurriedly said: "The student knows that this nautical chart is a top secret, and the student will never reveal any of its contents to anyone." ”
Gao Junshan smiled and said, "Go back and carry out my will, I fully believe in you." ”
So, Cao Minghao said goodbye to Gao Junshan and went back to prepare the equipment of the immigrants.
Cao Minghao left, Li Derong sent another telegram, this telegram was sent by Han Yuyan from Persia, she told Gao Junshan that they are now in the port of Bushehr in Persia, ready to take a train to Xichang to see Cao Wenzhao, and discuss with him the marriage of their children, Han Yuyan said that their eldest son Gao Hongbing and Cao Wenzhao's daughter are in love, and they have just learned that Cao Wenzhao's daughter is the waitress on the Gao Junshan special train, named Cao Minzhi.
Gao Junshan sighed that time passed too quickly, and in a blink of an eye, his eldest son was twenty-four years old, and it was time to marry a daughter-in-law. It is also a good thing to be able to face Cao Wenzhao's in-laws.
He immediately sent a telegram to Gao Hongbing for verification, and after waiting for his eldest son's clear reply, Gao Junshan immediately ordered the Military and Political Yuan to transfer Cao Minzhi to Britain to serve as Gao Hongbing's life secretary.
Then he sent another telegram to Han Yuyan, Han Yuyan objected to Gao Junshan's arrangement of Cao Minzhi as Gao Hongbing's life secretary, and she thought that it was best for the two not to live together before their wedding.
Gao Junshan accepted Han Yuyan's suggestion, since Cao Minzhi will soon be the crown princess, of course she is not suitable to be a train attendant anymore, Gao Junshan transferred her to the Fine Catering Department of the Ministry of Rites, which is mainly responsible for the large and small banquets in the Imperial City.
After arranging Cao Minzhi's work, Gao Junshan received a call from Liu Hongru, who was the head of the household department and also the director of the railway bureau, and he reported to Gao Junshan on the recruitment and distribution of labor from the six million island countries.
Liu Hongru said in his report that the Tokugawa shogunate was responsible for collecting the six million laborers and delivering them to Huaxia in Hirado, and that the six million laborers were delivered in 12 batches of 500,000 each, and then transported by sea ship to Quanzhou, Fujian, where the railway bureau took over the laborers.
When the Tokugawa shogunate recruited laborers, they were told that not only did they have enough to eat, but they also received a salary, and their salaries were paid by the Tokugawa shogunate directly to their families in the island country every month. Therefore, the vast majority of these laborers came to China voluntarily, and there were very few escapes along the way.
Gao Junshan knew that the so-called salary of the Tokugawa shogunate was just to tell these workers to repay their debts at Huawei, and they still owed Huaxia a lot of debts, so how could they pay these workers.
It is not a problem to have enough to eat, Gao Junshan can still afford to feed these people, after all, they have to pay strong physical labor, they not only have to shed blood and sweat for the construction of the railway in China, and some even have to pay for their lives.
Liu Hongru's telegram also said that the six million laborers had been dispatched to various railway sections throughout the country in accordance with the pre-drawn distribution plan.
The five most important railway bridges, the Jinling Yangtze River Railway Bridge, the Wuchang Yangtze River Railway Bridge, the Lanzhou Yellow River Railway Bridge, the Zhengzhou Yellow River Railway Bridge, and the Hetao Yellow River Railway Bridge, have also entered the construction stage.
Gao Junshan sent a telegram back to Liu Hongru, in which he told Liu Hongru that he must not take these laborers of the island countries lightly, and that he must strengthen management and send armed personnel to supervise and control the laborers of these island countries according to the original plan.
After processing the incoming and outgoing telegrams, the sky darkened, and Gao Junshan asked the servant to turn on the electric light in the living room, and he leisurely picked up a medical book on the sofa and read it.
"Your Majesty, why are you so interested in medical books?" Ruan Fangqing appeared in the living room at some point.
Gao Junshan put down the "Complete Book of Dou's Surgery" in his hand and said to Ruan Fangqing: "Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and the mystery is endless. ”
Ruan Fangqing didn't believe it, and said: "It's just a medical book, can there be such a big knowledge in it?" ”
"If you don't understand, don't speak indiscriminately in front of me!" Gao Junshan criticized her ignorance, and then patiently explained to her, "In traditional Chinese medicine, if you advance, you will save the world, and if you retreat, you will save the people. Many people do not understand the unity between saving the world and saving people, in fact, the essence of the two is the same, because the truth of nature is the same, the principle of the existence and development of the system of the state and the human body is the same, if you know how to cure diseases, you must understand the truth of governing the country, on the contrary, if you understand the truth of governing the country, you are also proficient in the principle of curing diseases. This is why the ancestors paid attention to the principle of 'self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world'. ”
"The little girl has been taught!"
Gao Junshan said: "Open the meal." After going to bed at night, I will let you understand the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine. ”
"Bad!"
