Chapter Ninety-Two: Ambition The Film Industry

Obviously, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were both interested in these new weapons and equipment that Zhang Zhimu said. Ouyang He asked: "Mr. Zhang, last time you said that you want to build a kind of artillery truck." I think that stuff is going to be very useful. But when I saw the tractor, I thought about it, the tractor itself was already very heavy, and if I added cannons and shells, it would be even heavier. If that's the case, there's a problem in the south. The rivers are crisscrossed there, and most of the bridges can't withstand such a large weight, which is a very troublesome thing. Is it possible to make this kind of gun carriage out of aluminum, so that they can reduce their weight. ”

"What Mr. Ouyang He said is very true," Zhang Zhimu said, "In fact, there is no need for our cannon-dragging vehicles to have as much power as a tractor. We can build cars that can tow cannons and carry artillery at the same time. It is also possible to build some gun carriages out of aluminum shells. These armoured, heavy machine guns and cannons were the nemesis of the cavalry. Our current armored vehicles only need to be able to defend against bows and arrows. If they run away on the steppe, the cavalry will be helpless. Neither bows nor sabers are of any use before them. And their heavy machine guns and shells can be pointed at their noses. ”

"Hey! Let's clean up Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong as soon as possible, and then turn back to those Manchus and Mongols as soon as possible. At that time, we will be able to try our armored vehicles. Chen Yufeng said.

"The massive use of armored vehicles, it is also necessary to solve the supply of fierce fire oil. Now Li Yunhe: They have started drilling and oil production in Yanchang County. However, the oil there was limited, and Mr. Lu Bingyi and the others came back and said that there was fierce fire oil in Jiuquan. But a large amount of oil should be on the side of Yumen. After stabilizing, we will build the railway from Lanzhou to Yumen. Because the transportation of large quantities of fierce fire oil is a big problem. The fierce fire oil arrived in Lanzhou and was transported to Yaogang by ship. Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's a lot of work. All the rails, the locomotives, had to be transported over. Ouyang He was a little worried.

"This matter has to be resolved. Failure to do so will limit our development. Zhang Zhimu said, "But this matter can wait until the steel mill in Baotou is put into operation." For the time being, the oil and coal tar over there are still enough. ”

"Mr. Zhang, I have always wanted to ask you, what are your plans for in the future, where will our army fight?" Ouyang He finally said the question in his heart.

"Huh! We don't need to occupy too much space, just enough for us. Zhang Zhimu said, "But after destroying the Manchu Dynasty, we will go north, destroy the Mongols in Mobei, and occupy the Baikal region." Depending on the situation, we follow the Ob or Yesenia rivers all the way to the Arctic Ocean. We need access to the sea in the Arctic Ocean. And then to the east all the way to the sea, these places, all these places, should be ours. This is to the north, and to the south must be hit to the Indian Ocean. To the west, you have to go to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. We must have access to the sea in the south, south, and west. ”

"Huh! Mr. Zhang's mind is very big. Ouyang He said, "Has Mr. Zhang learned the lesson of Genghis Khan?" The area is too big, but there are no more. ”

"I have thought about it," Zhang Zhimu said, "since Qin Shi Huang, they have all unified the empire by force, but they have not unified it ideologically. As a result, the more places occupied, the heavier the burden. Therefore, a unified country must have a unified idea that everyone agrees on. We must rely not only on force but also on our soft power. Conquer them with our splendid culture. Let everyone agree that we are a united nation. The most basic condition for this is that the people who follow us should live a better life and let them all be respected. And we need to have the technical conditions. To rule such a large place, if you rely on the original means, it will not work at all. For example, if there is a rebellion in a place, it will take half a year for the news to reach the capital, and then the order will be exterminated, and it will take another half a year when the order arrives. You say that such a country can not be divided? ”

"Haha! We have no problem with the technology now. Ouyang He said, "It seems that Mr. Zhang has been controlling the rhythm of our troops, and he has been cultivating people, which is too clever." In the future, we will need a large number of talents to govern the world. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "In our westward expedition, there were basically no large-scale battles, and our material consumption was not too large. If Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops fight hard with us, standing there and letting us kill, it will also take a lot of bullets. When we march south, we must be prepared for a big and vicious battle. That's when the consumption was staggering. ”

"Fortunately, our aluminum plant can be put into production, and all the copper cables that used to be can be replaced. This saves a lot of copper. Zhang Zhimu said, "The task I gave Li Mao was to buy as much copper as possible." Good thing we t

T** can be mass-produced. In the future, the shellers will be able to use either *** or ammonium nitrate**. It's just that smokeless** needs to rely on cotton. We would rather weave less cloth and ensure smoke-free production. ”

"Humph! When we have food and ammunition, we are not afraid of anything. Chen Yufeng said.

By the way, Li Mao has already recruited another group of cadres in the south. It's almost here lately. This is also the basis for us to go south. We must have the ability to take over a place when we build a place. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Yes, Yan Xing has arranged the training." Ouyang He knew about it.

"One more thing, we have to be prepared. The emperor won't let us swallow Zhou Yuji and them for nothing. Ouyang He said.

"Yes! The emperor is not a person who can suffer," Zhang Zhimu said, "Although our affairs over there in Qinshui were handled in a low-key manner, the newspapers did not report and the radio did not broadcast them." But the emperor didn't react at all, I think it's strange. Zhou Yuji's matter, the emperor will definitely come to extort us a sum of silver. ”

"Sometimes it's time to make a concession." Ouyang He said, "If we fall out with the emperor, although we are not afraid of them." But those who oppose us have a reason. Now, everything I do is to act according to orders, and what is against us is against the imperial court, against the emperor, how good is this. ”

"The emperor can probably see it, but he can't help it." Zhang Zhimu said, "After a while, we will send a dredging boat to help the emperor go up and clear the canal." That canal is smooth, and it is also a blessing for all people. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "I said Zhimu, what about you and that little Hongyu, we are all waiting to drink the wedding wine." ”

"There's no rush here. Huang Yukun and Yang Yulin talked to Xiao Hongyu once, but I heard that they didn't talk well. I didn't ask specifically. Zhang Zhimu replied.

"What?" Chen Yufeng's face that didn't look like a smile turned into a walnut, "Hehe! And you, that's your marriage. It's just like a joke! ”

"I'm really not involved in this." Zhang Zhimu said, "We must go with the flow of solutions." Otherwise, I can't hold that side down. If they can solve it, I won't complain about anything in the future. ”

"Zhang is always a maverick in everything," Ouyang He said, "I think the whole world, that is, Zhang can always do such things." ”

When Zhang Zhimu was with Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, he felt very relaxed. They can speak freely and freely. The topic can be very jumpy, from the east to the west at once. The three of them, who can be said to be at the pinnacle of power in the kiln gang, they all enjoy this kind of conversation.

However, the arrival of Yan Xing and Li Yan interrupted their small talk.

After everyone sat down, Yan Xing said, "Zhimu, now the autumn harvest will be over soon." The tax is about to start, and Qiu Laodong and Yang Jing have already rushed back. After the money is collected, it will be the test of our officials. We must focus on this now, as long as we lay the groundwork. Also, we have a plan. Each county must have a public school, and we can train two teachers for each county. Because only we can train teachers of mathematics, physics and chemistry. ”

"I think that's a great thing." Zhang Zhimu said, "In this way, every county or above must build a school at or above the middle school level, and a primary school must be established at the town level or in a large village." Teachers are trained by us. There must be more than two public teachers at or above the county level, and there must be more than one public teacher in a village primary school. We will pay the salaries of public teachers within two years. Later, there will be local fiscal expenditures. This is issued as an executive order. For particularly difficult places, we can provide appropriate subsidies. ”

"That's good, some places really can't collect much." Yan Xing said.

"I think it should be like this, we set up a teacher training college to train primary and secondary school teachers. This college gives a fixed number of places in various states and counties, and after graduation, they will return to the local area to teach. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Good!" Yan Xing said repeatedly, "If there are no students from our other colleges who are willing to teach in various places, it is better to train them in various places." ”

"I think this is the case now," Mr. Zhang said, "and we can send new graduates to teach in various places for a year, and then give them incentives, and then they will choose a place to work when they come back." In a few years, our teachers college students also graduated. I will ask Li Yunhe and them to specialize in producing some teaching instruments and other things, so that the teaching level of our schools around the country can also keep up with our kiln gang, at least not too bad. Our investment in education now will return to us a hundredfold and a thousand times in the future. ”

"I agree with Mr. Zhang's opinion. The students trained in our kiln have a wide horizon. The students they go back to teach must not be wrong. In the future, the quality of the students recruited by our college will be even better. There are so many things, you don't have to learn them here. Slowly, our education will become a system. At the same time, we need to make a regulation on the teaching content of primary schools, middle schools, and high schools. Public school tuition must be free. We can subsidize it in the early stage, and in the future, the local finances must take out the money for education. Ouyang He took a longer view.

"Okay, this matter is settled." Zhang Zhimu said, "I'll talk to Mr. Lu and let them choose a place." ”

Seeing that Yan Xing's matter was finished, Li Yan said: "When will our document on soil erosion control be issued?" It's almost the end of the year. ”

Zhang Zhimu thought for a while and said, "I think it's best to talk about this matter after the New Year." Because, it will take time for the land registration over there in Qinshui to be completed. Besides, this is the first time we've collected taxes. There may be some questions. Our task of controlling soil erosion will involve more people and things. I would like to send a team down to implement it together. Otherwise, the pressure on cadres from all over the country will be too great. ”

Yan Xing said: "This is a good way. We also have a number of people from our units to serve in the task force. ”

Ouyang He said: "Political cadres at all levels of our army must come out to participate in the work of the task force. This not only supports local work, but also serves as a workout for them. Let them also know how local work is done. It will be of great benefit to them in the future. ”

"I think that's it, next year when we issue the document, the task force will go down to work in Shanxi and Shaanxi at the same time." Zhang Zhimu said.

"I haven't read the documents made by Li Gongzi in detail," Ouyang He said, "There is one article to add, the slopes of Shanxi and Shaanxi must be made into terraces, otherwise they are not allowed to cultivate." Because I saw that the soil erosion was worst in those places when it rained. Fish scale pits should also be dug on hillsides that cannot be cultivated. There is also the kind that Mr. Zhang said, the dams in small watersheds will be built compulsorily in the future. Not really. ”

"What Mr. Ouyang said, some of the documents have already been written, and I will go back and add some of them." Li Yan said, "If I have no other opinions, I will arrange for printing." ”

Zhang Zhimu generally only participates in this kind of thing, and he doesn't care about the specific Zhang Zhimu. Now he doesn't need to take care of so much, and now these people in the kiln can be in charge alone.

Everyone was talking about things here, and Yang Yulin called and asked Zhang Zhimu: "That editor-in-chief Fan said that they finished the documentary film and want to invite you to take a look." Ask when you have time. ”

It turned out that it was Editor-in-Chief Fan, and they sent out several photojournalists this time to follow the Yaogang People's Army to the west, and they made a lot of documentaries. After coming back, Editor-in-Chief Fan told Zhang Zhimu that he wanted to make a movie. Zhang Zhimu suggested that he make a documentary called "Western Expedition". At the same time, he suggested that the film should be accompanied by some text and explanatory audio commentary, and those parts without sound are not worthy of commentary, and it is not easy for everyone to understand. Dubbing must be done well. Editor-in-Chief Fan: It took a lot of effort to organize people. However, Zhang Zhimu has always encouraged them, telling them that this documentary film will be an important symbol of a film career.

Hearing the news, Zhang Zhimu said: "You ask Editor-in-Chief Fan if he can move the film to the command center for screening." If possible, bring it right away. Many of our leaders in the kiln are here, so let's review it together. ”

Putting down the phone, Zhang Zhimu said to everyone: "Everyone! There is good news. Editor-in-chief Fan, their film and documentary have done a good job. In a moment they will send the film for screening. Don't go, let's see how they go? ”

Zhang Zhimu's words caused a burst of discussion among everyone, none of them had seen any serious movies, and they were all very curious.

After a while, Editor-in-Chief Fan led a group of people over. After Editor-in-Chief Fan was polite to everyone, he ordered their people to get busy. After hanging a thick white cloth and pulling on the power, start adjusting the focus.

After the film was loaded, Editor-in-Chief Fan asked the staff officer to turn off the lights. Start showing their edited films. The movie immediately grabbed everyone's attention. Although the film is not very good, the black and white jump is also very large. But the characters and scenes in the film can still be seen clearly. From the departure of the whole team, to the scenes of several battles, and the battlefield after the battle, the dead bodies everywhere can be seen clearly. Through the text and commentary on the screen, combined with the images, the battle of the Western Expedition is basically introduced. This is different from newspapers and radio stations, where you can see the real image with your eyes. More specific and intuitive.

The leaders of the kiln gang in the command center were all attracted by the movie. The staff officers of the command center all put down what they were doing and crowded over to watch the movie. The real battle scenes in the movie made the young ones even more excited.

The movie was cut out for a total of 40 minutes, and the film was changed several times. Until the end of the release, everyone felt that they were still unsatisfied.

Chen Yufeng said to Editor-in-Chief Fan: "Great, if there is a war in the future, you have to send more people to follow the team." There are still too many real scenes that have not been filmed. After seeing this, it was like returning to the battlefield again. The power of the cannon explosion was well demonstrated. It's true that a single shot can blow up a large area. The machine gun swept away and was also very real. ”

After reading it, everyone put forward some comments to Editor-in-Chief Fan.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Let Li Yunhe and them build more movie machines, and they will also produce a few more film films. Then show it to the students to let them know that their peaceful life was bought by the heroic struggle of the front-line soldiers. ”

Yan Xing said: "Not only students, but also kiln people should take a look. I watched it like this, and it was screened at the Palace of Culture. All factory organs should be **, let them go to see. Change people in an hour, and it won't take long to finish them all. ”

"After watching it, the staff of our student workers' institutions can also show it to the people." Zhang Zhimu said, "A copper coin for them to look at once." I think they'll all come and see. This is also propaganda. ”

"No, no, no!" Editor-in-chief Fan said, "A copper plate is not enough to pay for electricity." Five copper plates, we can take back some silver and print a few more films. Then he took them to the border to show the soldiers. ”

Li Yan said: "Editor-in-chief Fan said well, and there will be a movie machine in the future." It should be shown to the officers and soldiers in various units. Such a film is morale-boosting, and it is much better than empty talk. It's really uplifting to see it. ”

Yan Xing said: "In the future, there will be more movie machines, and you can also go to various states and counties to tour and screen them for everyone." Let the people read it again, such a thing, the propaganda effect will be better. ”

"I agree," said Editor-in-Chief Fan, "Xiao Hongyu's "Tang Guifei" is being filmed, they are shooting indoors, the lighting effect is good, we also took a look at the sample film, and the shooting effect is better." It can be used as a touring screening in the future. ”

"Good!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Through these concrete actions, we let the people know that we care about them." The people will be of one heart with us. ”

"Huh! In the future, our Cultural Palace will have to keep showing movies. Yan Xing said, "In the future, those who come to Yaogang must watch the movie before they come back." It's like taking a train, taking a tram. ”

"What the second uncle said is that in the future, this movie will also be part of our kiln soft power." Zhang Zhimu said, "Editor-in-chief Fan, you want to set up a film company. In the future, movies will be a very big industry. It's going to be a very lucrative industry. Let's just put it this way, even if we have 100 million people in the Ming Dynasty. If each person spends a copper plate to watch a movie, about half of them are willing to watch it. Do you calculate, how much money will a good-looking movie earn? ”

"Fifty thousand taels of silver?" Editor-in-Chief Fan calculated, "Oh my God? What about a copper plate? ”

"We were starting out both technically and artistically, and film would not only be a tool for us to expand our influence, but also a good industry to make money." Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, when the people's lives are better, their spiritual life must also be improved." After the filming of "Tang Guifei" is finished, you will know that this is a very promising industry. ”
