Chapter 106: Thinking about the back steps of the dock to celebrate

Zhang Zhimu said that Xiaoqing and Xiaohu can generally listen to it, but they are very reluctant to wipe their teeth with a cloth every morning, and they often make excuses and fool the past. Zhang Zhimu also felt that it was inconvenient to use this method every morning.

After rinsing his mouth that day, when he saw Huang Yukun, he said to her: "I see that you have a workshop for making brushes, right?" ”

"Yes! What do you need to use in our brush workshop? ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Wait, I'll draw you a sketch, and you will follow the image I gave you." Make a few small brushes with pig bristles and horse hairs, respectively. ”

Huang Yukun said: "What are you using such a little brush for? ”

"I think we have to work too hard to clean our teeth every day, and I have to use them to brush my teeth. I'm going to see if it's the bristles that work well or the horse's bristles that work. Zhang Zhimu said, "I also want to ask Zhang Bingchen to give me the tooth powder to brush my teeth." In this way, we can popularize brushing of teeth. ”

"I think you're just a blind toss, who do I think you learn to brush your teeth every day?" Huang Yukun muttered. However, Huang Yukun will not slack off on the things arranged by Zhang Zhimu.

When he came to the office, Zhang Zhimu called Zhang Bingchen and asked, "Bingchen, have you used tooth powder?" ”

"I don't use tooth powder very often, it's said to have been available in the Song Dynasty. I also heard from the master that the tooth powder used in the imperial court was made with several Chinese medicines. Zhang Bingchen replied.

Zhang Zhimu said: "I don't need so much tooth powder made from traditional Chinese medicine. Listen, you use calcium carbonate, salt, a little soap powder, and flavor, and give me a kind of tooth powder. I'm going to promote it to everyone. Let us all develop a good habit of brushing our teeth. Let's see if you can add a little bit of tooth-protecting herbs to the tooth powder. ”

Zhang Bingchen said: "Okay, let's try it right away, and then call you back." In addition, I support Mr. Zhang's suggestion to call on everyone to brush their teeth and protect their teeth. ”

After calling Zhang Bingchen, Zhang Zhimu told Yang Yulin not to bother himself if there was no major matter. Zhang Zhimu needs to calm down and think about the next step.

Now that history has finally changed here, I wonder if the tenacious ability of history to repair it can be changed back. This is what Zhang Zhimu is very worried about. Now, although he has beaten Li Zicheng out of Shanxi, he has also taken over most of Shanxi, and in terms of military and land, it should be a situation in which one side has been initially divided. However, in the face of severe drought for several decades, Shanxi, which has been plagued by military disasters and bandits for many years, has made the people's lives extremely difficult. It can really be said that it is full of holes. Relying entirely on the strength of the kiln gang cannot feed the entire Shanxi people. The most important thing is that how to make Shanxi people recognize and accept themselves is a big problem. Whether or not the policies formulated in the future can win the support of the people is a very important issue.

You must plan the next work goal in advance and unify everyone's understanding, so that everyone can have a head start and know what they should do. Zhang Zhimu should conscientiously prepare a work report, not only to summarize the past work, but also to point out the direction for the future. However, this direction needs to be carefully considered.

Zhang Zhimu knew that the people in the kiln gang needed to make it clear what they were going to do. This makes Zhang Zhimu both happy and worried, happy that everyone trusts him very much, as if his people have lost the ability to think. Mentally speaking, I can study the future development direction and other big issues with Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, Ouyang He, and Li Mao. Everyone else is a good executor. In this way, it is not easy to correct if you make a mistake.

Zhang Zhimu straightened out his thoughts and wanted to write a report. But as soon as an outline was written, Lu Bingyi and Lu Chengxiang came together. This time, Yang Yulin didn't dare to block the car.

As soon as Lu Chengxiang and Lu Bingyi looked at the furnishings on Zhang Zhimu's desk, they knew that Zhang Zhimu was writing.

Lu Bingyi said: "Mr. Zhang is busy, so let's make a long story short. The thing I'm going to say is that our ammonium sulphate fertilizer is very useful, and the crops in the fields that have been fertilized are much thicker than those in the fields that have not been fertilized. I wonder if I can find a way to produce more fertilizer. Although it is not yet harvest time, I see that the yield of the land with chemical fertilizer can obviously increase a lot. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "What restricts us now is ammonia, and we can't synthesize this thing yet, and the ammonia used is all ammonia produced in the process of coking." If we want to make synthetic ammonia, then we can produce chemical fertilizers on a large scale. At that time, our chemical production can really promote agricultural production. ”

"If Li Dong's steel plant is expanding production, can the production of coke also increase, and in that case, can the production of ammonia also increase?" Lu Bingyi asked.

"That's what Mr. Lu said. However, our saltpeter intake has been unstable. I also want to use ammonia oxidation to produce nitric acid, in which case ammonia is still not enough. However, I think it can be like this, Li Dong and the others have recently taken over several government-run iron factories, and we can build a few coking plants in several large coal mines, so that the iron works can use coal and coke to make iron, and we can use the rest of the coal tar and ammonia ourselves. Now, I can only ask Qingfengzi and them to squeeze out as much ammonia as possible to produce fertilizer. Zhang Zhimu said.

Lu Bingyi was very happy to see that Zhang Zhimu promised to produce as much fertilizer as possible. Originally, he still had something to say, but he knew that today was not the time to talk about these things, so he took his leave.

As soon as Zhang Zhimu saw Lu Chengxiang holding the big account book, he knew that Lu Chengxiang had come to report the account again.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Mr. Lu, I was scared when I saw your big account book. ”

"It's all good, don't be afraid." Saying that, Lu Chengxiang's round face was more like a copper coin.

"Let's talk about big numbers!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"Okay," Lu Chengxiang said, "This time, Li Jing intercepted the silver cart and the silver they intercepted last time, together with 1.88 million taels, 36,000 taels of gold, and 3,000 copper coins. The jewelry is not counted, and Mr. Huang and I are registered in the account. There are also 950,000 stone of grain and countless forage. There were 113,000 horses, 130,000 horses, and more than 30,000 camels. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "How can there be so much silver? ”

"Not much. I think there are so many others that may have been carried away by Li Zicheng. There is a military salary brought by Li Zicheng from Xi'an, so there is such a little silver. The silver they looted from Shanxi was definitely no less than that. No royal relative would find silver in his house. Let's just talk about the Jin Palace, they got a million taels of silver out of their house, I think it's about the same. Those merchants and rich people in Shanxi can't get tens of thousands of taels of silver. They usually hide it very tightly, and Li Zicheng's knife is on his neck, and he can also get a batch of silver. Let's just say, those who believe in us, there are more than 800,000 taels of silver deposited in our ticket number. I think it's more that I don't believe that we can hold the kiln. We have too much silver in Shanxi. Li Zicheng held back his strength and came to Shanxi, can they let go of the opportunity to make money? Lu Chengxiang said it endlessly.

"It seems that we still have a handful of robbers?" Zhang Zhimu asked,

"I'm halfway there. But when it comes to it, we still don't lose. Remove the silver lent to the emperor, we don't use a lot of silver, besides, the whole of Shanxi is ours, those iron smelting occasions copper and tin smelting fields, when we get it, we can quickly produce silver. Lu Chengxiang said.

"The silver we lent to the emperor was actually given to him." Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's what I said. But one day, when I was settling accounts with the emperor, if he couldn't afford it, the court would have things that could be used for silver. "Lu Chengxiang didn't want to just give the silver out and it would be over.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Yes! Mr. Lu, you must keep these accounts. The white flowers and silver are all our hard-earned money. ”

Lu Chengxiang said with the account book: "In the past two days, I have discussed with Mr. Huang, and our kiln coins are not enough. Especially after we won, our kiln coin has become the main currency in the market. Especially in our kiln gang, few people go out to buy things with heavy silver. The ones used are basically kiln coins. Our local branches have been opened, and the news that we have come back is that there is not enough banknotes. I think we need to print some more banknotes. Do you think it's okay? ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "We have 50 million yuan of kiln money in circulation and various semicolons in the market, which is equivalent to 5 million taels of silver. How many more are you going to print? ”

"I discussed it with Mr. Huang, and we will print 50 million of his various denominations this time. We don't let it all out all at once. First, 30 million kiln coins will be released to each semicolon. The rest is used as a backup for emergency use. In this way, our kiln coins are also less than our silver reserves. Lu Chengxiang said.

"Yes, as soon as our business resumed, people had more confidence in us. However, remember to leave more cash for Hukou and Zhangjiakou, because many of the money we lend to the imperial court is kiln coins, and they will exchange them for silver. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Mr. Zhang is worried, this kiln currency is not enough for them to buy food, how much money can be exchanged for silver. Now the merchants there will not immediately come to our ticket number to exchange for silver, because they know that it is more convenient to keep the kiln coins than to keep the silver. Lu Chengxiang said proudly.

"It seems that the right to issue money that we have won is still very worthwhile. In the future, we will be able to deal with the problem of funds for construction. After Zhang Zhimu finished speaking, he asked, "Mr. Lu, when are you going to Lingshui Wharf?" Do you want to organize it first? ”

The lock on the side of Lingshui Wharf is about to start use, Tang Jingyao wants to hold a completion and use ceremony, just as Chen Yufeng and they also returned triumphantly, Zhang Zhimu decided that the leaders of the kiln gang will go to Lingshui Wharf to meet Chen Yufeng and them, and also participate in the opening ceremony of the lock. In order to do a good job in the celebration and welcoming activities, Zhang Zhimu arranged for Lu Chengxiang to be in charge of this matter.

Lu Chengxiang said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing if you teach it to me." I've already arranged for someone to go there. I'll go there myself tonight. You can just leave tomorrow morning, and now the Lingshui Pier is open to boats, which is really stable and fast. Tomorrow you will get through it. ”

After a spring flood and several rains in the summer, the Xiaoling River was soon filled with water. Fully meet the requirements of shipping. For this Xiaolinghe project, that Tang Jingyao worked hard. There is another reason why Zhang Zhimu wants to see Tang Jingyao now, he wants to discuss the matter of Kaiyuan Xinhe with Tang Jingyao.

This Kaiyuan New River, when Zhang Zhimu passed through it several times, he felt that it was already a little silted. It's best not to wait for the silt to die before dredging it. Tang Jingyao had been the governor of the river, and he should have experience in this. Also, if possible in the future, Zhang Zhimu very much wants to blast the reefs on the waterway in the Three Gorges so that the waterway there can be unimpeded. Zhang Zhimu felt that although the Yellow River is a river with a large amount of sediment, in his previous life, he adopted a very successful method of water diversion and sand flushing, which was very effective in solving the problem of sediment accumulation in the Yellow River. In particular, Zhang Zhimu found that the water flow of various rivers is far greater than that of the previous life, and the Yellow River is even more so. It is entirely possible to use the water of the Yellow River for the sand washing test. Of course, you can't do the stupid thing of building the Sanmenxia Dam, but if you want to build a dam on a river with a lot of sediment, you can refer to the experience of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir Dam. It's a pity that the last time I visited the Xiaolangdi Reservoir Dam, I didn't listen carefully to the explanation. Also, I didn't expect to actually cross over.

However, when Zhang Zhimu built the lock dam of Lingshui Wharf, he took into account the sediment content of the Xiaoling River and set aside a sand discharge outlet for the barrage. This should be a little result of a visit to the Xiaolangdi Reservoir Dam.

This time, I went to Lingshui Wharf with Zhang Zhimu to participate in the celebration and greet Chen Yufeng, and their triumphant ones were Yan Boju, Lu Bingyi, Yang Yulin, Li Yunhe, Liu Bensheng, Lu Qi, and Duan Jingzhong.

This time they were on the boat at the Yaogang Wharf. Li Yunhe pointed to a group of people on the shore and said: "Mr. Zhang, you see they are assembling a rubber conveyor belt, and in the future, we can use the conveyor belt to unload the bulk grain from the ship to the shore." There is no need for dock workers to carry up in baskets. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "This is great. If you have no problem using it here, go to Huai'an Wharf as soon as possible and install a few sets for them. The grain they brought in by the big ships was loose grain, and they needed it even more. ”

"Don't worry." Li Yunhe said: "We designed two kinds of conveyor belts for loading and unloading in Huai'an, one is unloaded to the shore, and the other is unloaded directly from the big ship to our barge. In the future, grain will be transported quickly and with less waste. ”

Zhang Zhimu and the others got on the boat in the morning and arrived before noon. So fast, the captain said he didn't go the fastest.

When we arrived at Lingshui Wharf, we saw that it was still early, so we first visited the lock and Lingshui Wharf. When Zhang Zhimu came to the shipyard, he found a problem. The steel brought from the shipyard was small pieces of steel, and he saw that the larger ones were brought in two wagons in front and back. Zhang Zhimu knew that the carriage was too small, and the transportation problem determined that they had to make all the steel into small materials.

Zhang Zhimu said to Lu Bingyi: "Mr. Lu, this can't be done. In this case, if we want to build a ship, the welding work is too much. ”

Lu Bingyi said: "Our steel can be transported by rail to the Yaogang wharf, and then transported here by ship, can we transport a little larger steel." ”

"We will build a lot of ships here in the future, and the amount of steel is very large." Zhang Zhimu said.

"I didn't think about building a railway here before, but I considered that there was Xiaoling River to engage in water transportation. Now it seems that it will not work without building the railway here. In this way, we will make up our minds to build the railway here. Lu Bingyi said.

Zhang Zhimu nodded and said, "The railway should be accelerated!" Transportation is already a big problem that restricts our development. ”

Fan Chengkun's fleet arrived at Lingshui Wharf in the afternoon when the sun was in the west.

Chen Yufeng and the others saw the flags on the dock waving and the gongs and drums noisy, but they didn't expect such a big scene to greet them. I didn't expect that Zhang Zhimu would bring such people to Lingshui Wharf.

Chen Yufeng led everyone to the dock, and everyone shook hands in turn. In the end, Ouyang He introduced Li Yan and the Red Lady to Zhang Zhimu. Zhang Zhimu held Li Yan's hand and said, "I have heard the name of General Li for a long time, and I have heard Mr. Ouyang introduce you, I have admired you for a long time. ”

Li Yan was also very excited, he didn't expect the people of Yaogang to be so enthusiastic to him, and he didn't expect the legendary Zhang Zhimu to be so polite to him. Li Yan's tears were in his eyes, and he said: "Thank you Mr. Zhang, how can I, Li Yan, let Mr. Zhang love him so much." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "We are now a family, and our kiln business has just started, and it is indispensable to ask General Li for benefits in the future." ”

Ouyang He came over and said: "In the past, there was a saying called thirsty for talent. Our Mr. Zhang is really such a person. You're welcome, everyone. I'll have time to talk about that later. ”

What caught the eye on the dock were the Red Lady and Yang Yulin, two women who liked red makeup. When Yang Yulin saw the red lady, she arched her hand and said: "I have heard for a long time that there is a heroine who likes red makeup as much as me, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”

The red lady also arched her hand and said: "I have also heard the name of 'Fire Phoenix' for a long time, and when I see it today, I am really fortunate to have three lives!" ”

Yang Yulin turned around and took a wooden box from the entourage, gave it to the red lady and said: "I know that the red lady is a battle-hardened hero, and today my little sister sent two pistols to my sister." I'm sure my sister will like it. ”

When the red lady was rescued by Li Jing and them in Tongguan, she saw Li Jing and them kill people one by one with a pistol, knowing how powerful this thing is, she didn't expect that Yang Yulin would give him two as soon as she arrived here, how could the red lady not like it.

The red lady said repeatedly: "Oops! I really have a pistol too, thank you so much sister! ”

She also turned around, took out a red envelope from the package and said, "Sister, I can say that I have nothing now." In Tongguan, I only found this short sword that had been with me for many years and gave it to my sister. ”

Yang Yulin knew that this short sword must be something unusual, and it was a little inappropriate to accept it, so she felt that it was even more inappropriate not to accept it, so she accepted it happily.

And all the people applauded.

The celebratory scene on the dock made Chen Yufeng and his soldiers very excited. Photographers had them line up on the pier to take pictures. Chen Yufeng: They still don't understand what's going on. However, Zhang Zhimu also stood there according to the photographer's arrangement, so everyone had to learn very much.

There will be a variety of photo shoots on the pier.

Zhang Zhimu explained to them what photography was all about.

Yang Yulin told the red lady what was going on with the photo shoot a long time ago. The red lady rushed to take a photo this time.

Li Yan took a warship along the Fen River upstream, and it felt amazing. The fact that a boat can go against the current to such a fast extent is something Li Yan couldn't have imagined before. When he arrived at the docks, he heard that this camera could take pictures of real people on pieces of paper, which was really beyond his imagination.

In the evening, of course, it is a sumptuous celebration wine.

After Zhang Zhimu made a simple toast, everyone drank happily. The people of Yaogang really deserved to drink it once, and they achieved an unprecedented victory, defeating Li Zicheng, who claimed to have a million-strong master. The foundation of the kiln was thoroughly consolidated. Zhang Zhimu and his comrades-in-arms were all drunk, because Chen Yufeng and they had beaten out a few years of peace in Shanxi this time. It also played the military prestige of the kiln gang. Although Zhang Zhimu was very confident in this result at the beginning of the war, the war is not a child's play, and only when the result is seen can the goal be truly achieved.

Li Yan and the Red Lady came to toast Zhang Zhimu with tears in their eyes, and he said: "Mr. Zhang, my lady and I salute you, if it weren't for you and the brothers in Yaogang, we might have been dead long ago." What I didn't expect was that the brothers in Yaogang would treat me, a former enemy, like a brother. In the future, my wife and I will look forward to Mr. Zhang. We are willing to follow Mr. Zhang's left and right, and never give up. Let's do it first! ”

Zhang Zhimu accompanied Li Yan and his wife to finish drinking, and said: "In the future, let's not say who follows whom, we will do something for the people of the world together." When we heard that Li Zicheng was going to be unfavorable to you, everyone in our kiln gang was worried to death. General Li is a man who can do a lot for the people of the world. Li Zicheng can't tolerate talents like you, we are in need of kilns. This is also Li Zicheng's lack of this creation, I don't know what it means to lose you. fell out with you, one day, Li Zicheng will regret his green intestines. ”

Li Yan said: "Mr. Zhang, when I met King Chuang, we both had common ideals and could talk very well. I also feel that there are such people who lead us to do things, and we are the ones who have found and are worth following. But there is not much time, King Chuang is now just thinking about how to be the emperor. I was confused for a long time and didn't know what to do. Let's be honest. If it weren't for King Chuang's attack on me, I probably wouldn't have made up my mind to leave him. ”

"I can say for sure that Li Zicheng has won the world. The people still can't change anything? It's just a change of emperor. And the idea of our kiln gang is to completely change all this, we don't need the emperor. The world should be the people of the world. Later, when we have time, we will talk about these things slowly. Zhang Zhimu said to Li Yan.
