Chapter 352: Extorting 500 million from the devil

Pan Zide stood up, and Gao Junshan beckoned to him again, "Come close!" ”

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please command!"

"I asked you to go to India this time?"

Pan Zide knelt down again with a "poof": "Your Majesty, you just let your subordinates stay in the capital, the capital also needs to be built!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Pan Aiqing, I promise you that after this mission is completed, I will allow you to go wherever you want." ”

Pan Zi was very reluctant, and said in a low voice: "Please give an order to Your Majesty." ”

Gao Junshan said: "That's right! Pan Aiqing, please get up! I have sent you to India this time to build a port city called Mumbai. Mumbai, located on the west coast of India, is an important port to the West and an important base for us to connect with the Persian Gulf. This place was occupied by the Portuguese 10 years ago, they already have some port infrastructure, and now that Mumbai is under our control, you have to make Mumbai a big port city when you go. Mumbai is a place made up of seven islands, and you have to design it well to make it a beautiful port city. Now there are already people in the Ministry of Industry who are carrying out the preliminary construction there, and the reason for transferring you here is because you have just finished building Hong Kong, you have rich experience in urban construction, and you have an excellent team. ”

"Are all of our construction companies in Hong Kong going to move there?" Pan Zide asked.

"Of course, what you have in your hands is the most advanced and excellent urban construction team in my Huaxia, and a good knife must of course be used on the blade."

Pan Zide asked: "When are we leaving?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "You can leave a few days later, and the Hong Kong team must drive over as soon as possible." ”

Pan Zide said: "The subordinates will go back to Hong Kong tomorrow, the subordinates can't stay here in the capital!" ”

"It's fine." Gao Junshan paused, and then said, "I have a suggestion for you. ”

Pan Zide said: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I am in Huaxia in the process of reorganizing the etiquette and simplifying it, in the future, you can call yourself me in front of me, and you don't need so many humble words." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The subordinate then retired. ”

……

After Pan Zide retreated, Li Derong sent a telegram from Zheng Zhilong, and the Tokugawa shogunate of the island country strongly demanded that the troops of Huaxia State withdraw from Hirado Island.

Gao Junshan called Zheng Zhilong back and asked him to tell the Tokugawa shogunate that if he wanted Huaxia to withdraw his troops, he would take out 500 million yuan as the military expenses for Huaxia's withdrawal.

Gao Junshan obviously knew that the Tokugawa shogunate couldn't take out 200 million, and now he proposed 500 million, obviously not wanting their money, just asking for their lives.

After the telegram was sent, he felt relaxed, and in the afternoon, he invited a troupe into the palace and watched a "Peony Pavilion" with Han Yuyan and other three ladies.

The next day was Monday, December 13, Gao Junshan went to work in the Ministry of Industry on this day, and the Minister of Industry was Lu Heju.

The Ministry of Industry is not in the Imperial City. Because the Ministry of Industry has developed the most rapidly, it has now increased from four divisions to twenty divisions, so it had to move out of the imperial city.

The Ministry of Industry is located in the western suburbs of the capital, at the foot of Xiangshan, with beautiful scenery.

Gao Junshan took a carriage to the Ministry of Industry, and Minister Lu Heju greeted Gao Junshan who came to work at the gate of the Ministry of Industry.

Gao Junshan got out of the carriage, and Lu Heju greeted him enthusiastically, and said to Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry is too far away from the palace, if there is nothing important, you don't have to come to work in person, we will go to the palace to report to you if there is anything." ”

Gao Junshan didn't answer Lu Heju directly, he looked up at Xiangshan and said, "The scenery here is good!" I'm in a great mood here. ”

Lu He raised his hand and hugged Gao Junshan and said: "The scenery is good, but the road is farther, Your Majesty, I will help you and walk slowly." The road here has just begun to be repaired, so it's not easy to walk! ”

With the support of Lu Heju, Gao Junshan entered the gate of the Ministry of Industry, passed through a lawn, and then entered a small courtyard, which was the office of the Minister of Industry.

"The environment is good, the environment is good." Gao Junshan looked at it while walking, "The air is fresh, and it is more than a hundred times better than the imperial city!" ”

Lu He said: "It's just that the transportation is not very convenient, it's too far away from our dormitory." ”

Gao Junshan said: "In the future, we can build a dormitory area near here!" Don't be too pessimistic, in less than 20 years, when cars are built, this place will also prosper. ”

Lu Heju led Gao Junshan into a room, which was where he currently worked. This office is more than twice as large as the original Ministry of Industry in the Imperial City.

After Gao Junshan sat down, he began to ask Lu He a few questions about the development of several emerging industries.

He first inquired about the development of the bearing factory, and after listening to Lu Heju's report on the development of the bearing factory, he hoped that the Ministry of Industry could set up some bearing factories in Shanghai, Xichang, Manchester and Yangon, which were newly developed cities.

Lv Heju put forward many difficulties in running a bearing factory: "Your Majesty, the supporting facilities required by the bearing factory are very cumbersome, only in the vicinity of the capital there is this condition to build a bearing factory, and the bearing factory in the process of production, it needs to consume a lot of electrical energy, which is also the reason why the factory can be built near the capital. ”

Gao Junshan criticized Lu Heju: "You have to take a long-term view, bearings are an important part of transport vehicles, and when cars and bicycles are popular in the city in the future, you will know that the advice I give you today will not be wrong." ”

Lu Heju took out a document and put it in front of the case in front of Gao Junshan, and said, "We will have a serious discussion on His Majesty's proposal." ”

"What is this?" Gao Junshan asked, pointing to the document.

Lu Heju explained: "This is the plan of Li Ruoxing, director of the Department of Water Resources, to control the Huai River, please review it." ”

Gao Junshan said solemnly: "This is a great thing for the benefit of future generations, you can make a brief report to me first!" ”

Lu Heju explained to Gao Junshan that due to the poor drainage of the lower reaches of the Huai River, the Huai River has always been called a "harmful river" by the common people. In the 461 years from 1194 to 1655, there were 184 major flood disasters in the Huaihe River Valley, with an average of one major flood disaster every two and a half years.

The flood caused great harm to the people of the Huaihe River, and at the same time, it also brought great damage to China's economic construction.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the director Li Ruoxing, the Department of Water Resources plans to carry out a comprehensive management of the Huai River.

The governance plan is in this plan, which was drafted by Li Ruoxing. Li Ruoxing is the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry and the right imperial history of the former dynasty, the prime minister of the river, and has rich experience in the management of the river.

Gao Junshan took a general look at Li Ruoxing's plan, and its general framework was to build a reservoir in the upper mountainous area, a flood storage project in the middle reaches, and a waterway in the lower reaches to control the flow of the Huai River waters.

He said to Lu Heju: "I agree with Li Ruoxing's plan, your Ministry of Industry attaches great importance to the matter of controlling the Huai River, and you must build the Huai River well." ”

After Gao Junshan finished speaking, he put pen to paper and commented on this document, "If you agree to govern the Huai River, you must manage the Huai River well!" ”

After he finished writing, he handed the document back to Lu Heju, and then asked another question: "The Academy of Science and Technology is developing a money printing machine, and the money printing machine will soon be put into production. ”
