Chapter 152: The Imperial Court Makes a Move to Build a Radio Station

The telegram was sent back from Yaogang, and this time Zhang Zhimu and they all left Yaogang, leaving Lu Bingyi in charge of the general charge at home, and Yan Xing and Li Yan in charge of helping with daily affairs. The telegram was issued by Yan Xing from the command center. The content is that Gonggong Li came to the kiln and said that there was a holy decree to see Zhang Zhimu urgently.

"Strange! With Gonggong Li's supernatural powers, can he not know that we have left the kiln? Ouyang He had some questions.

"He knew that he also got the kiln. Because he went to the kiln and couldn't see Zhimu, it wasn't his responsibility. If he doesn't go, that's his responsibility. Chen Yufeng said, "If I guess correctly, the emperor is going to borrow silver again." Otherwise, our emperor won't be able to survive last year! ”

Zhang Zhimu, they all smiled bitterly. However, Zhang Zhimu suddenly thought that the ministers of the imperial court were politically incompetent, but they would never let the Yaogang people take over Shanxi and ignore them, and even forced the Yaogang people to make some concessions by advancing and retreating. He said: "If it is only a matter of silver, I guess the imperial court will definitely show its skills in other aspects." We need to be mentally prepared to deal with it. ”

"They will definitely send officials to various places, especially the original officials, and after they have run away, now that the situation is better, they will also come back. But we still have to stick to this principle, as long as they don't collect money and don't disturb the people, we will live in peace with them. If there are disobedient people, we will not be polite, and if they are serious, we will kill them, otherwise we will not be able to suppress them. Ouyang He said.

"To kill them, there must be a good reason, and then inform the world." Chen Yufeng said, "When the time comes, the imperial court is not satisfied, and we will ignore them." Absolutely not if you are not tough. ”

"There is power in the barrel of a gun, and we are not afraid of anything if we have a gun." Zhang Zhimu said, "But try not to make the contradiction public. ”

"Let's talk about the affairs of the imperial court." Ouyang He said, "We'll go tomorrow and buy the horse with the horse lead." The day after tomorrow, we will go back to the kiln. Mr. Yan took people to Zhangjiakou. ”

Considering that buying a horse in Datong will not be as smooth as killing Hukou, the Datong branch has already built a horse fence outside Datong City. The stalls of five thousand horses were a hundred, and they sealed up a small valley. However, there was a team of cavalry to help, and it was quickly built.

This time in Datong, I bought a total of 20 columns of top horses, 60 columns of medium horses, and 20 columns of third-class horses.

As I thought in advance, because the people who sold the horses in Datong did not get any benefits, they were not very cooperative when buying horses. It is not allowed to pick these horses at all.

Zhang Zhimu told everyone, these little devils don't have to offend them, let's buy the horses and talk about it. In fact, you can't pick a horse that you bought on the bar. Those horses are graded well, and you can't be wrong with that. It's just that those who manage the horses deliberately make things difficult, and those things that make things difficult. In the end, Yan Boju couldn't help it anymore and scolded, "You fuck, you guys are making things difficult for us like this, and I won't buy it." ”

These people usually run across, and they want to come up and do it, saying, "You fucking love to buy it or not, and Lao Tzu is not waiting for it." "I'm leaving.

Zhang Zhimu couldn't help it, and went over to them and said, "Which of you is in charge here?" ”

At this time, there was really a person in charge of things, and it was also very horizontal, "I am." What's the matter, if you don't want to buy a horse, get out? Don't make the old boys angry here! ”

Zhang Zhimu smiled slightly and said, "This military master, his words are not good. My suggestion is that you quickly kneel down and kowtow, make amends, and finish the horse's affairs as soon as possible, and this matter will be over. Or will I let you kneel before the gate for a day? ”

"Oops! What a big breath. But I'd like to see how you made Lao Tzu kneel for a day. Today your horses are not for sale. After the guy finished speaking, he turned back and smiled at the soldiers. The men followed suit.

Zhang Zhimu knew that if he didn't teach them a lesson this time, he would really not be able to buy horses in Datong in the future. That's a later story, even the things in front of me can't be done. I didn't want to fight with them, but I couldn't help it.

Zhang Zhimu went back and asked Li Jing to hurry to the Yamen of the General Soldier in Datong City to ask Jiang Jian to come over.

Zhang Zhimu and the others waited patiently, and these soldiers in charge of the horses were coaxing and scolding. However, seeing that Zhang Zhimu and the others did not leave, they were still waiting here and did not move, and their psychology began to hairy, and they really didn't dare to drive the horse buyers away. They knew that the horse was not going to sell. If they cause trouble, they can't afford it. But I was really unwilling to give the horse to someone like this, and I didn't benefit at all.

It wasn't until Jiang Jian came with people on horseback that these people knew that they had a big time today. On the way, Li Jing had already told Jiang Zhu what had happened.

Jiang Ji was very embarrassed to see Zhang Zhimu, and said: "Zhang Dongjia is smiling, Jiang has no way to govern the army, I apologize to you!" After speaking, he turned around and took a look, and he had long known that it was not good, and the officers and soldiers who knelt on the ground and were trembling and sweating.

Seeing these officers and soldiers who were still invincible, Zhang Zhimu felt angry and pathetic. Jiang Bao ordered: "Come on, this leader will be reduced to a pawn, pull out fifty whips, and kneel outside the city for two days." Each of these soldiers was given twenty lashes and knelt outside the city gates for a day. Then he arranged for others to help select the horses and help to check the silver.

Jiang Jian followed the kiln gang people to do the horse's business until it was over.

Zhang Zhimu asked people to reward these people with some silver. Without Jiang Zhu's nod, no one dared to collect cash.

Jiang Yan also said: "Zhang Dongjia doesn't need it, you came to Datong to buy horses, it is already to give me face." ”

"Mr. Jiang, don't get me wrong, this silver is because the brothers helped to help, and our expression is a little meaningful. They have not been paid for several years. If you have a little effort, let them take it and have a drink at night at the bar! Zhang Zhimu said.

When Jiang Jian heard Zhang Zhimu say this, he waved his hand, and these officers and soldiers happily took the silver. Seeing that Jiang Zhu was a little puzzled, Zhang Zhimu said: "I think this silver is deserved by the soldiers who have contributed to it, and we can't give it to those who blackmail us for no reason." "That's what I said, but what Zhang Zhimu was thinking about was killing Hukou and Zhangjiakou's garrison, didn't we all give people money?

Jiang Pai said: "Zhang Dongjia, there will be no such thing when you buy horses in the future." ”

"I didn't want to ask you to come forward, but if I knew you could come, I would have one more thing to ask for. We don't want to move the fence anymore. I want to borrow your pen until we drive the horses away. Otherwise, it will be too much effort for us to rush to our own stalls. Our horses are not a few. Of course, we will be duly grateful to the soldiers who helped us. Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's no problem, it's too much trouble for you to build your own horse pens for these horses." Ginger inlay is very happy.

"That's why we're willing to buy horses in familiar places like Hukou and Zhangjiakou. Familiarity is a treasure. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Alright! In the future, Datong will be the same. Walk! Tonight we drink! Jiang Ji said.

"Okay, the chief soldier has been with me for a day, and he is still in charge of wine. In the future, we will go to Datong to buy horses!" Chen Yufeng said.

This time when they came to Datong, Zhang Zhimu and they were not too public, but some businessmen knew about it and came to invite Zhang Zhimu, but Zhang Zhimu politely declined. I happened to get drunk with Jiang Ji once tonight.

The ladies of the kiln gang carried out a two-day sweep in Datong, which made the people of Datong start to talk a lot. It is even more envious of the women of Datong. Soon, people changed from the women in the kiln gang who had money and dared to spend silver, to the men in the kiln gang, why would they allow the women to show up like this. Those who know some of the situation say that the women in the kiln gang are not all spending men's money, many people have jobs, and many women earn more silver than men. This incident is simply irritating to the women of Datong, and they want to go crazy. There are many brave people who have begun to quietly inquire about the kiln, and soon many women will hear that the kiln is recruiting female workers, so they will secretly save some money for the car and go to the kiln.

This is the first news that makes a woman particularly excited.

Some of the soldiers were left to drive the horses back to Yaogang, and some of them followed Yan Boju to Zhangjiakou. Zhang Zhimu and his convoy went to Yaogang first.

When it came to going home, these happy women were even more anxious. When shopping outside and shopping on the street, they are homesick, and when they go back, they are more homesick, which is the common feeling of these women. When Huang Yukun talked to Zhang Zhimu about the child, he was already in tears. However, when Zhang Zhimu asked her if it was worth it to go out, Huang Yukun said very resolutely: "It's too straight." I didn't know the world was still so big. It's really nice to come out and see what to see. When I have time, I will definitely ask my cousin to come to Hukou to see her son. Also go shopping to kill Hukou. If you have time, let the children come out and see what they want. It is said that you have to read 10,000 books and travel thousands of miles. I think that's right. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "You also have a very important job to liberate women. Let everyone come out and work, so that women can get their rightful place. If they were all raised by men at home, they would never have a place of their own. ”

Huang Yukun was also deeply touched, "Yes! In fact, there are many things that men can do, and women can do them. It's just that many sisters can't get out. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew such a thing, so he could only slowly influence and infiltrate and make them realize themselves. Human perceptions are the hardest to change.

As soon as the convoy of Yaogang returned to Yaogang, it caused a sensation in Yaogang. There were a lot of people who came out to greet them. Because the families of these ladies seem to care more about them. This time, the ladies made full use of the load of the car, and each family filled the car to the brim, as if everyone was buying something.

After Zhang Zhimu and the others returned to the kiln, Gonggong Li was still waiting here.

Zhang Zhimu and the others didn't care about the people who came back and the people who greeted them, chatting happily there, and directly invited Gonggong Li to the command center.

Gonggong Li announced the holy decree, and Zhang Zhimu and his party had no choice but to kneel to receive it.

Zhang Zhimu guessed correctly, the emperor is going to borrow silver again, but this time it is not to borrow one million, but to increase the price, this time to borrow two million taels.

After receiving the holy decree, Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng smiled bitterly. Zhang Zhimu said: "There is no such silver this time. Let's find a way to raise enough 1 million taels! ”

Gonggong Li was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, "Zhang Dongjia, where can't you get two million taels of silver from your smelting field and various factories." ”

"Aren't our own accounts as clear as yours?" Zhang Zhimu was a little unhappy.

"No, don't get me wrong, Zhang Dongjia. I mean, the court really doesn't have any money. The army and the various yamen need silver, so you have to think of a way. ”

"We are now raising the whole of Shanxi, and we have to fight for the emperor. Where do we need silver, and every day we count it with our fingers crossed. You only see the money earned, not the money spent. We have more than 100,000 troops. That would also require a lot of silver. "Zhang Zhimu doesn't want to entangle with Gonggong Li anymore, he is just a eunuch, if he doesn't know how to be interested, he can ignore him completely.

Gonggong Li also knew that he had already said it, "Don't misunderstand Zhang Dongjia, I just told you what the emperor meant." As for whether you lend the emperor money or not, it's your business. I only hope that Zhang Dongjia can share some worries for the emperor. ”

"Let's do our best, it's likely that we won't even be able to scrape together a million taels this time. The money we used to buy the horse this time was all prepared now. Zhang Zhimu said angrily.

Gonggong Li originally wanted to say, "You seized two or three hundred thousand horses from Li Zicheng, that's how much silver." Not to mention its seizure. Among them, 100,000 war horses, one sold for 100 taels of silver, that is, 10 million taels. Who doesn't know that winning a war is more profitable than buying and selling. However, he could see that Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng, including Ouyang He, were not good on their faces, so they didn't talk much.

Ouyang He didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff, "Gonggong Li, we are not friends for a day or two. Why can't you see your friends at this time? ”

"Mr. Ouyang He, you can't say that, I first have to handle the emperor's affairs well! And then I talk about my friends. Gonggong Li was a die-hard eunuch, and said, "Also, the emperor has ordered officials from all over Shanxi to return to their places of administration as soon as possible." Don't misunderstand, Zhang Dongjia, this place can't be managed without officials. ”

Zhang Zhimu looked at Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He for a while, and said, "Gonggong Li, I have always said that I have no objection to the officials going back, even if the emperor appoints the newly appointed officials, it is okay." But as I have already said, for three years, no taxes will be charged. As long as it doesn't disturb the people, we welcome people to serve the people. ”

"Officials don't charge taxes and fees, what do they eat, and why do they pay money to the court?" Grandpa Li began to play and pretend to be confused.

"It's not something you can control about this matter, the emperor knows about it. Everywhere Li Zicheng went, he had already promulgated a three-year ban on taxes and fees to support the people. We beat Li Zicheng away to collect taxes and fees, aren't we sinners of the people? Besides, the emperor had already acquiesced to this matter. Otherwise, we wouldn't have done something that would make the people scorn. ”

"When did the emperor have a holy decree?" Gonggong Li knew that there were no formalities.

Zhang Zhimu saw that the court wanted to play a scoundrel, "This matter, Gonggong Li, you are pretending to be confused." I don't need to say so much nonsense, no one is allowed to collect taxes and fees in the places we are in charge of for three years, and violators will not be punished severely. After speaking, Zhang Zhimu looked at Gonggong Li coldly.

Gonggong Li chuckled, knowing that the purpose of provoking Zhang Zhimu had been achieved, "Zhang Dongjia, how do you want to punish these officials severely?" ”

"Then it depends on the situation, kill what should be killed, and catch what should be caught." Zhang Zhimu didn't want to talk more to this more and more shameless Gonggong Li, so he got up and said, "Come on!" Drop-off! ”

Gonggong Li didn't expect that Zhang Zhimu, who was usually amiable, was really angry, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Dongjia, look at you, a friend for many years, why did you turn your face with a few jokes." Do you look at you? ”

Seeing that someone was coming to see him off, he had no choice but to get up and walk while saying, "Look, just kidding, as for it?" ”

Gonggong Li understood that Yaogang was looking at the emperor's face and giving him a little face. If the kiln gang people are in a hurry, he is a eunuch, and the kiln gang people really don't take him seriously, and he has no problem.

After Gonggong Li was sent out, Chen Yufeng said with a smile: "This dog thing, you can't give him a good face too much." ”

"We really have to face those court officials who have returned." Ouyang He said.

"Now that we have spoken, let us tell all the officials we have sent out that there are three chapters of the law for those who have returned, one is that taxes and fees shall not be levied; second, it is forbidden to send labor; Third, it is forbidden to engage in arming. Violators are expelled, and those who seriously disobey the management will be killed. Zhang Zhimu is very resolute about this matter.

"Let's be tough on this matter, and the emperor won't be wrong. He needs our silver, and he can only pretend to be confused. If we are not resolute, he will gain an inch. I think he tested us this time. Look at our political means. Ouyang He analyzed.

"I don't think it's easy to lend them the money this time." Zhang Zhimu said, "We will give them a total of 1 million, but before the end of the year, we will give them 700,000 yuan, half of the kiln coins and half of the silver." After the New Year, we will give them another 300,000. Let them know that borrowing money is not easy. ”

"The small courtyard we left for Gonggong Li and them was taken back when he was away. Let him know what to do and what not to do. For such disrespectful people, we must pay equal attention to grace and authority. Chen Yufeng said.

"I think we'll give them the money again at the beginning of the twelfth month." Ouyang He said, "The emperor didn't get the silver for a day, so he was worried for a day." will regret what he did. ”

When Zhang Zhimu went home for dinner at night, the family felt strange, Huang Yukun said: "I saw you and that Gonggong Li left together, we all thought that you would definitely accompany him today!"

"I'm in a hurry to get home and see my kids. That old thing, let me get out. If we don't have a face, we don't have to respect them. Zhang Zhimu felt very relaxed. Come back and talk to Xiaoqing and Xiaohu, hug the two tigers, it's much better than going to accompany that old thing.

This time, Xiaoqing and Xiaohu looked very happy, because their mother went out to buy them too many things.

Yang Yulin also said next to her: "My sister-in-law always says that I spend money indiscriminately, but this time she spent more." ”

Huang Yukun said: "Oops! I'm going out this time in my life, and you won't let me buy more. When we got there, we thought everything was good. Everyone bought a whole bunch of them. Hehe! ”

The first thing Zhang Zhimu did when he came back was whether the radio station could be broadcast during the Spring Festival. As soon as I arrived at the office, I called Yangchang to ask about it. Yangchang said that the antenna tower has been almost built. The house can only be built first with some simple and practical things, and then the broadcasting building will be built next year.

Zhang Zhimu knows that a radio station is not just an antenna device. That would require a team to organize broadcast materials, as well as various editors and other personnel. Because as long as the broadcast starts, it must continue without pause until the broadcast is finished for the day.

In this matter, Zhang Zhimu decided to bring the editor-in-chief of the "Yaogang Weekly" Fan, Lu Bingyi, Li Yan, Li Yunhe, Yang Chang, and Liu Banzhu to a meeting to study how to prepare for the establishment of a radio station.

After everyone arrived, Zhang Zhimu said: "Looking for you today, there are two things. I'll talk about it first. The first of all, in terms of culture, we already have "Yaogang Weekly" and Yaogang Art Troupe, and soon there will be "Yaogang Daily", "Science" magazine, and radio station. My idea is that such a unit needs someone to manage it, so I suggest that we set up a kiln culture construction committee to centralize the management of these units. My suggestion is that Editor-in-Chief Fan be the director of this committee, and Director Liu should be the deputy director, and of course you should also take up the same position until someone can take over your position. This is one of my suggestions, not to make a final decision, but to ask everyone to think about it. Another is that we need to look at how the upcoming radio station will be built today. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that everyone couldn't build a radio station concept all at once. Just try to say as much as possible, "Everyone has seen a lot of information in the "Yaogang Weekly", but it is too slow information, because only one copy can be printed every week, and even if the "Yaogang Daily" is published, it can only be printed once a day. But after the radio station was built, we had a radio in every house. We can broadcast real-time news through the radio station, and you can hear the news at home at any time. This radio station can not only broadcast news, but also music. For example, there is a performance in the Cultural Palace, and many of you can't buy tickets, so we can broadcast the sound of the performance live through the radio, so that those who have a radio can hear the live sound of the performance. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhimu's introduction, everyone discussed for a while, and Zhang Zhimu said: "Our radio station, there are several hardware facilities that must be built, first of all, there is a broadcasting studio without any external sound interference, and two announcers in the broadcasting room are needed in real time, one male and one female. This announcer must be a person with clear articulation, accurate pronunciation, and a certain degree of cultural accomplishment. They want to broadcast the news and all kinds of news that come out of our place to the listeners clearly. They also need to have some organizational skills. Because, at the beginning of each day, our broadcasts cannot be interrupted. Each of our sessions requires a lot of information. This also requires our radio station to have more editorial staff than the "Yaogang Weekly". In the interval between broadcasts, we can't live without sound. Later we have the recording equipment, and then we can play some recorded music. Now we don't have that condition, we can organize a small band and play a piece of music. In this way, our radio station should at least set up some such departments. First of all, we must have a technical department, which is responsible for the normal maintenance of the entire broadcasting equipment to ensure the normal broadcast; There is also a need for an editorial department, who is responsible for the content of the daily broadcast; Then there is the broadcasting department, and the announcer of the broadcasting department is responsible for specific broadcasting. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhimu, Lu Bingyi said: "This radio station is much more complicated than our "Yaogang Weekly". ”
