Chapter 376: It's All About Food
At present, it is imperative to study radio and internal combustion engine technology. The oil team stationed in Yangon has detected oil, and the oil exploitation conditions in the South Seas are superior, with shallow oil formations, simple formations, and good climatic conditions, which are the priority for oil extraction in the high mountains.
With oil, the development of an internal combustion engine is possible.
The engineers of the Academy of Science and Technology have developed electronic transistors and pentodes, and many kinds of electronic components can also be put into mass production, including resistors, capacitors, inductance coils, etc.
The development of the tube transmitter has also entered the final sprint stage, the key problem is that the production process is not well solved, and the engineers are working day and night to solve the difficulties in the production process.
With the development of the situation, 100 miniature transmitters are obviously no longer enough, and if we want to go to the ocean, it is urgent to develop an electronic tube transmitter.
After the oil is extracted, the refinery must also be built, and the Ministry of Industry has recruited a group of new workers and has been trained in refining technology for a period of time, and these workers only wait for the refinery to be built before they can start refining.
During this time, Gao Junshan gave a technical explanation of the above projects, although he was not an expert in these aspects, and even only knew some superficial knowledge, but after his prompting, the Chongwen disciples used their brains to carry out these projects in a colorful way.
On this day, Gao Junshan summoned Liu Fangliang to his study in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Gao Junshan was in his study, wearing civilian clothes, he was leaning on the Taishi chair, reading the telegram sent by his son Gao Hongbing, when Liu Fangliang came in.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" As soon as Liu Fangliang came in, he sat on the chair opposite Gao Junshan, because he had an unusual relationship with Gao Junshan, so when he met Gao Junshan, if there was no one else, he would be more casual, and Gao Junshan would not bother with him.
Gao Junshan put down the telegram in his hand and asked, "Have you withdrawn the prosecutors sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to various ministries?" ”
Liu Fangliang couldn't help but get nervous, thinking, why did the emperor ask this question? Could it be that who participated in my book in front of the emperor again, saying that I was interfering in the administration of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
He didn't rush to answer Gao Junshan's question, he first looked at Gao Junshan's face before relieving himself and replied: "We are preparing to withdraw these prosecutors, but we have been busy banning gambling recently, so we have delayed this matter." ”
Gao Junshan asked, "Who told you to withdraw the prosecutor?" ”
"Your Majesty, that's not what you mean?"
Gao Junshan said solemnly: "The prosecutors sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not allowed to be transferred casually without my will. ”
"Yes!"
Gao Junshan asked: "How many prosecutors do you have stationed in the Ministry of Agriculture?" ”
Liu Fangliang said: "I don't know the specific number, I'll send you a list when I go back." ”
Gao Junshan said: "You don't have to send the list for the time being, after you go back, rearrange it, the focus of the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is on the Ministry of Agriculture, after you send additional personnel, make another list and send it to the Shoufu Mansion for the record." ”
Liu Fangliang seemed to smell something, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to rectify the Ministry of Agriculture?" ”
Gao Junshan was unhappy, and patted the case a few times: "What are you talking about!?" Your Metropolitan Procuratorate must always work hard to rectify the corrupt practices in the court, whether it is the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry, or the Ministry of Households, the officials there must be supervised at all times and perform their duties. ”
"Definitely, definitely."
Gao Junshan beckoned Liu Fangliang to get closer with his hand, and then said softly: "The Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of the grain lifeline of Huaxia Kingdom, especially the right to distribute rice to the peasants. ”
Liu Fangliang reported: "Your Majesty, the investigation and handling of the matter of deducting rice is now in the hands of the General Affairs Bureau, and we are not good at interfering with the procuratorate!" ”
Gao Junshan said: "The General Affairs Bureau supervises the supervision of rice from Cochin, Siam, and Myanmar into the mainland, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for the supervision of the flow of rice distributed in the mainland. ”
Liu Fangliang said: "Your Majesty, you still have to clarify the task assigned to our Metropolitan Procuratorate, otherwise, we will have a misunderstanding with the General Affairs Bureau, and it will not be good if it affects the work." ”
Gao Junshan thought it was necessary to do this, so he asked Li Derong to invite Tian Fang and Tian Zhengchun, who were in charge of the General Affairs Bureau, and Zhao Mingyuan, the new director of the General Affairs Bureau, and Bai Huiyuan and Fu Yunlong, deputy directors of the General Affairs Bureau, to the study.
These five are all leaders in criminal investigation and espionage among Chongwen's children, and because of their merits, they were promoted by Gao Junshan.
After the people arrived, Gao Junshan gave them clear their respective tasks, and warned them that the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture had a tendency to work laxly, and asked them to severely investigate and punish a number of officials who did not act, and at the same time, the officials who were corrupt in rice must be severely punished.
Finally, Gao Junshan hoped that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the General Affairs Bureau would work together and cooperate with each other to eliminate unnecessary contradictions.
Gao Junshan is not worried about the Ministry of Agriculture, but because grain is related to the fate of the country, he must be strict and serious about grain work.
The telegram on his desk was also about food. Gao Hongbing reported to him in a telegram that the grain in Nanyang was piled up, because it was all transported by water, and because of the humid weather in Nanyang, a lot of rice was moldy in the barn.
Gao Junshan believes that only when the train line is fully opened, the problem of grain transportation can be easily solved.
According to Hirado, there has been real progress in the negotiations with the island nation, and as long as the two sides sign the relevant agreement, 5 million workers from the island country can be sent to the railway construction site, and the railway construction project can continue throughout the country.
In this way, Gao Junshan was lecturing in the capital while waiting for the results of the negotiations in Shimonoseki.
Jiang Guorong really lived up to his expectations, and the negotiation team of the Huaxia State represented by him, a group of 153 people, set off from the port of Monji on the island of Kyushu, crossed the Guanmen Strait, landed at the port of Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and conducted negotiations with Sakai Tadakatsu, a negotiator sent by the island nation, in Shimonoseki for 37 days, and the two sides signed an armistice treaty on April 17, 1656, at Chunfan Tower in Shimonoseki, because it was signed in Shimonoseki, this armistice treaty is called the "Maguan Entente".
Although Gao Junshan was far away in the capital, through telegram exchanges, Gao Junshan grasped the movements at the negotiation table in a timely manner and gave Jiang Guorong timely guidance.
The main elements of the Treaty of Shimonoseki include:
The island nation compensated Huaxia for military spending and 500 million taels of silver;
The island nation ceded Hirado Island and Kyushu Island to Huaxia, and ceded the north of Sendai to Korea;
The island nation opened seven treaty ports of Yokohama, Shizuko, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, Kobe, Kochi, and Saijo to China, and was responsible for the military expenses required by the Huaxia State to garrison troops at these seven ports.
