Chapter Forty-Seven: Is the Paging Sign Hard to Find The King of Korea went to herd the horses

Zhang Zhimu and Yang Yulin just entered the office, and Lu Chengxiang and Li Yunhe followed.

Obviously, Lu Chengxiang was in a very high mood, and as soon as he sat down, he said, "Mr. Zhang! You're not at home! This pager number auction is too lively! There are a few business groups, in order to compete for a few good numbers, they almost fight, and the competition is simply too fierce. In the end, we came forward to play a round, otherwise none of them wanted to show weakness, and they wouldn't be able to get off the stage! ”

"Huh! Lu Chengxiang is also interested in these little money? The more they fight, the happier you should be! Zhang Zhimu said.

"No, no, Mr. Zhang, my Lao Lu is not looking at these little money. That's how I got the pager up on it. Now Li Mao and Li Gongzi have called me and asked me when I will be able to build a pager in Hankou, and there are several places in Yangzhou and Xi'an, and they have all called me to ask about this. You say that these places are on the pager, or a few small bucks? Lu Chengxiang swallowed and foamed, and said, "Let's talk about their competition, it's good for us." But no matter how advantageous it is, it's just a few small dollars! If we make it impossible for them to get off the stage, they will not say anything on the surface, and they will secretly scold us. I will provide them with a stage, so that these powerful business groups can come out and show their faces, without hurting any face, and the money spent is not too painful, and they will thank us! So it's almost done, and I've got to round them up. When it's over, I'm going to invite them to sit down together and have a drink, no matter how well they fight on the field, they can't hurt the peace. ”

Li Yunhe couldn't help but say: "Old treacherous and cunning! ”

"Hey, hey! Don't praise me like that, boy! "Lu Chengxiang and Li Yunhe are too familiar, and only Li Yunhe dares to make such a joke with Lu Chengxiang. Lu Chengxiang was also not polite to him.

"Hey! Yunhe, this kind of thing, Mr. Lu's ability is enough for you to learn for a lifetime! Zhang Zhimu said, "Not everyone can be the big housekeeper of our kiln!" ”

Zhang Zhimu's words made Lu Chengxiang feel comfortable after listening to it, and smiled and said, "Hehe! Mr. Zhang, this subway line has been tested for a long time, isn't it time to hold an opening ceremony? ”

"Safety must come first!" Zhang Zhimu said uneasily.

"There should be no problem!" Li Yunhe said, "Li Di, they have never left the scene since the test began. Each screw and each plug do not know how many times they have been checked. During this time, the subway is running 24 hours a day. Yang Chang and the others got two computers to help control the operation of the tram. Of course, Yang Chang said that these computers, which are not exactly the same as our computing center, are specially designed to enhance the reliability of some places. Some of the things that are not needed here have also been reduced. One of the two computers is on standby, and if something breaks, the other can be taken over immediately. ”

"You're talking about hot spare!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oops! I can't figure it out with today's computers! Li Yunhe said, "With computer control, the density of tram operation in the subway can be increased a lot." However, the subway has just started to run and cannot be driven to the high speed. The density of the tram should not be too high, and it will need to run for a while. Our own experiments are trials after all, and what the actual situation is, we must actually test it. ”

"Good! Let's arrange the opening ceremony! Zhang Zhimu said, "In fact, what I value more is that we have improved our comprehensive industrial level through the construction of the subway." This subway, to outsiders, looks like our tram going underground, it's not a big deal, it's actually very different. Underground ventilation and drainage control, and the reliability of the humid state signaling system all require a lot of effort! This time, we have invested almost all the strongest technical forces in the kiln here. That's what makes it brilliant! ”

"Huh! This time, Mr. Lu is also very generous, and our underground platforms are paved with white marble. With the lighting, it's just beautiful! Li Yunhe said.

"That's right! This silver is to be spent on the blade, and such a project is to benefit future generations, and we can do it now if we have the conditions to do it better. Maybe we won't get it, and the descendants won't have that much silver! Speaking of this, Mr. Lu's face flashed, and the pride was overflowing.

"There is one more thing, Mr. Lu, you have to get involved. Both the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire are buying arms from us, and we can promise to sell them arms. However, there are some additional conditions, one is that we will officially establish shop ticket numbers in their country, and we will also build cinemas and radio stations. They agreed to our terms and then talked about arms. Of course, the matter of arms cannot be a state-to-state affair, but a non-governmental trade. ”

"This will do!" Mr. Lu said, "However, if we are going to fight with the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire in the future, we will lose a lot of money over there!" ”

"There is such a possibility, but does Mr. Lu think they can beat us?" Zhang Zhimu asked rhetorically.

"Huh! I understood, I would arrange for competent people to come over, and if something really happened, I just asked them to ensure the safety of their lives as much as possible. We have planes, artillery and gun carriages, and we can all fight for it! "Mr. Lu is an extremely smart person.

"Also, in several ports of the Mughal Empire, we have to build shops. Remember Mr. Lu, especially the ticket number, must be built. Although it takes a lot of silver to build a ticket number, the risk is relatively large, but it is more meaningful for us to play the credit of Yaogang coins. One day in the future, our kiln coin will be the currency of the whole world! ”

"Good boy! How many kiln coins we had to print at that time! Mr. Lu exclaimed.

"Huh! At that time, the whole world would give us silver and let us help print the kiln coins. Now the ticket number of Huishang and Zheshang, can it be opened without the kiln gang coin? Zhang Zhimu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang is right!" Mr. Lu said: "When you were away, several business groups came in a row, all to talk about building ticket numbers. Without us promising them to settle with each other and provide kiln coins, their ticket numbers would not have been opened! This time, the Hui businessmen made a great determination to build a large textile factory in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were ready to engage in a joint-stock system, and they invested a lot of money. I promised them what you asked, and I promised them that I would cooperate with them in building a power plant over there. However, they also want to engage in a joint-stock system for this power plant, and I didn't dare to agree to them. ”

"I can promise them!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"But our power grids are all connected, and we will definitely connect the power grids in the future, how will we divide them then?" Mr. Lu didn't want to be confused.

"Hey! It's easy! Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, we can measure the amount of electricity that their power plant sends into the power grid, and we can calculate it in a unified manner!" ”

"If that's the case, I'll send them a telegram!" Lu Chengxiang said, "Hi! Now I can't figure it out! Hehe! I still have to learn! ”

After speaking, Lu Chengxiang took a sip of water, stood up, took out a note, handed it to Zhang Zhimu and said, "Yunhe has something to do with you, so I'll leave." That's fifty pager numbers, you look at who to give! ”

"Oops! Mr. Lu, how can you still have these numbers, this is not retained by our company, right? ”

"How can it be, the company retains all the Yulin girls. Here are a few that I deliberately left from the auction. After auctioning off some special numbers, the rest was messed up, and no one noticed, so I stayed! ”

"Oops! My Xiaoqing and Xiaohu have been arguing for numbers, so it's okay. And the emperor also wants a number, I said that you are an emperor and no one will paged you! The emperor didn't talk about it! ”

"Oops! Mr. Zhang, the emperor is for himself, those princes and princesses who have not participated in the work have to ask the emperor for numbers! Lu Chengxiang reminded Zhang Zhimu to say.

"Oops! Isn't! Zhang Zhimu said, "Okay, I'll keep ten of these numbers, and I'll give the rest to the emperor!" ”

Lu Chengxiang, who is full of spring breeze, is gone!

Li Yunhe sighed and said: "I think Mr. Lu is getting younger and younger, and he is so busy every day, I don't see him tired!" ”

"Mr. Lu has a very good mentality! You can pick up anything and put it down! We should all learn this! Zhang Zhimu said, "Okay, let's talk about your side of the matter!" ”

"Let's put it simply!" Li Yunhe said, "First, we have already built four more planes. Two single-seaters, two two-seaters. Some of the problems found in the production process have also been solved. In the future, two single-seaters and two two-seaters can be built every month. Workers are becoming more and more skilled in riveting. The second is that Taiyuan Automobile Factory, the small gas car production line is almost the same, and it can be put into operation in the second half of the year. Third, the kind of six-wheel drive car you asked us to build has been made, and the effect is very good, and I think it can completely replace four-wheel drive cars and gun trucks. Ordinary potholes can't stop this guy at all. The off-road performance is just too good. It can be turned into armored vehicles and artillery trucks. On the battlefield, it is guaranteed to be more agile than a tracked car, and stronger than the off-road type of a four-wheel drive car. ”

Zhang Zhimu knows that the opponent does not have any anti-armor weapons that can pose a threat to the combat vehicle, as long as the thin armor made of alloy aluminum is enough, and even a large glass window can be used on the armored car, of course, with thick tempered glass. As long as the car with good off-road ability, the enemy has no way to deal with it.

"Let's study it with Li Wei and see what kind of vehicle is more suitable for them to use with this kind of vehicle turf. We will be equipped with more of these vehicles, the mobility of the army will be stronger, and fewer troops can be deployed in the border areas. ”

"Yes, it seems that these equipment cost a little more silver, and it is still suitable in the long run!" Li Yunhe agreed.

"Now that the plane can be produced, let them get it!" Zhang Zhimu said, "You have to be concerned about the twin-engine plane. This is what Mr. Ouyang has been looking forward to! ”

"Hey! I'm looking forward to it too! Li Yunhe said, "However, although the double-shot is more complicated than the single-shot, we still have the technical foundation of the single-shot." After our people stepped up into that group, the progress accelerated significantly, and now we have a few models for blowing experiments. We strive to be able to rivet before the end of the year. However, in order to reduce the impact of noise, it is necessary to think of many ways to reduce the sound insulation in the cabin and keep warm in the air. ”

"And when the plane flies through the clouds, you also have to take into account the freezing of the wings." Zhang Zhimu said, "On your plane, the flight temperature is very low at high altitude, and the water vapor is easy to freeze on the plane, and as long as it freezes, it will freeze more and more, and finally destroy the aerodynamic characteristics of the wings, and it is not good to destroy the plane and kill people." This cannot be careless! ”

"Hmmm! And such a thing? Li Yunhe asked, "Is there any way?" ”

"Placing some electric thermal resistance wires along the wing can raise the temperature of the wing surface by electrifying the dissolution point of the ice. That's it! Zhang Zhimu said.

At noon, Zhang Zhimu left Li Yunhe to eat together, so that the two could have a good chat, but while eating, Yang Yulin's pager rang "Didi".

Yang Yulin said angrily: "It's really annoying, why are you paged for dinner?" ”

"Huh! This is the dialectic, where there are good and bad! You know it's troublesome! It's hard to escape anything! Zhang Zhimu said with a smile.

Yang Yulin ignored the pager, but the pager kept ringing, and Yang Yulin, who was helpless, had to get up and make a call, but Yang Yulin put down the phone and said to Zhang Zhimu: "Li Mao wants you to call him back, there is an emergency!" ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that if Li Mao was not in a hurry, he would not use this way to find himself. I immediately called the phone back.

"Oops! Mr. Zhang, the situation is not good, our side of the river suddenly flooded, and the banks of the river flooded. In many places, the levees burst, and in some places the current is too fast for speedboats to enter. A lot of people are stuck on isolated islands. The situation is critical! As soon as the phone rang, Li Mao said eagerly.

Zhang Zhimu knew that the situation was not extremely critical Li Mao was not in a hurry, and immediately said: "Li Gongzi, you have to calm down, and our side will immediately find a way to support your side." Our ships can go up the Yangtze River, but they can't enter the tributaries. I asked Fan Chengkun to try to find a way. We'll look at what to do with it here. We stay in touch at all times! ”

Li Yunhe heard the call between Zhang Zhimu and Li Mao, and immediately asked, "Can you let Li Gongzi and them build a runway that can take off and land?" By the way, there is also a transfer runway in the middle. ”

"Huh? You mean to use planes to go to disaster relief? Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Together with the two aircraft we experimented with, we already have six aircraft. As long as there is an airport built over there, we can use airplanes to airdrop food to the people on the isolated island, although there is no guarantee of the amount of airdrops, but there is something, and the victims will have confidence! Li Yunhe said.

"That's right!" Zhang Zhimu thought for a while and said, "I will immediately notify the military and civilians of Luoyang to build a runway immediately." He said to Li Yunhe again, "Think about it and tell them what the runway requires!" ”

After eating something in a hurry, Zhang Zhimu cleared Yan Xingqing and said to him: "Second uncle, the Yangtze River is flooding, and Li Mao urgently asks for help." We want to send planes over. It is necessary to build an airfield in Luoyang for transit. The airport also needs to have petrol ready. Our people in Luoyang must be mobilized immediately! ”

Yan Xing said: "Don't worry, Zhimu, our people in Luoyang are very competent. There was also part of the army there. How do you build an airport? ”

Li Yunhe said: "Just build a runway that has been leveled and rolled. The plane is filled with fuel and can take off immediately and head to Hankow! Actually, our plane can fly directly to Hankou, but I am worried that if there is any problem on the road, the plane will be prone to trouble if it has nowhere to land in the sky, so it is better to be safe. Even at such a transit airport, someone needs to be at the airport to communicate with our aircraft by radio. Now planes fly over completely by terrain. Two-seater aircraft can bring navigation equipment with them. ”

"Good! Now contact Luoyang and Li Mao, and let them immediately build the proposed airport runway. Zhang Zhimu said, "As long as it doesn't rain in the plains, the runway can be leveled quickly with a bulldozer." Just use a roller to crush it again. ”

After contacting Luoyang and Hankou by phone, Li Yunhe introduced to them the places to pay attention to when choosing an airport, as well as the requirements for a runway.

Both places responded quickly, saying that the runway would be built in the shortest possible time. This made Zhang Zhimu feel very gratified. It seems that the efficiency of the administrative organization of the kiln is still very high.

Just taking a breath, Yang Yulin frowned and said, "The emperor called, saying that there is something urgent to find you!" ”

Zhang Zhimu had no choice but to pick up the phone in the house, and the emperor's voice came, "Zhang Dongjia, I am in a bit of a hurry, I want to invite you over!" ”

"Good! I'm looking for you, too! I'll go right over! ”

Zhang Zhimu asked Yan Xing and Li Yunhe to stare at the construction of the airport, and turned around and went out. But downstairs, I met Lu Chengxiang who hurried over.

As soon as they met, Lu Chengxiang asked: "Mr. Zhang, where are you going, there is a big flood on the Yangtze River!" ”

"I see, you go up first! The second uncle and Li Yunhe were arranging for the construction of the airport over there. I've got something to do right now! Zhang Zhimu said as he walked.

"Build an airport?" Lu Chengxiang didn't understand what was going on, and muttered upstairs!

When he came to the palace of Emperor Chongzhen, when the prince saw Zhang Zhimu, he said, "Hey, the emperor is angry again!" ”

"Who provoked the emperor?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Come on! You'll find out when you go inside! The prince shook his head and didn't want to say.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Zhimu entered the house, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face was not very good!

"What's wrong! Your Majesty, it's only been a day since you've been back, and your good mood is gone? ”

Seeing Zhang Zhimu, Emperor Chongzhen's face relaxed a little, "Zhang Dongjia, you sit down!" ”

After Zhang Zhimu sat down, Emperor Chongzhen said, "That Korean king has come to see me!" ”

"Hey! A king who has been angry, why are you angry with him? Zhang Zhimu said. Since the king of Joseon sent him to Yaogang, Zhang Zhimu had no time to pay attention to him. However, his house was not built, so they had to live in the Yaogang Hotel.

"Hey! He sent several times to ask for a visit to me. I also think that this man has just lost his throne, and when I get here, I will meet this man! Emperor Chongzhen said, "But this shameless fellow, when he saw me, demanded that his house be the same as those of the princes." ”

"Huh!" Zhang Zhimu smiled and said, "Those who live in good houses are people who have contributed to us. We just want everyone to see that we will not lose them if we have merit. He, the king of Joseon, a captive fellow, has no qualifications to ask for this and that. It's not bad if you don't kill him! ”

"No," said Emperor Chongzhen, "this man saw me, and said that Korea has always been our vassal state, and should not be annexed. I asked him. When the Ming Dynasty was in difficulty, why did you collude with the Manchus to deal with us. In order to prevent Korea from being annexed by Japan, we sent troops several times, and we killed a few people for them, and how much silver was spent, you just don't appreciate it. When we went to war with the Manchus, you had to stab you in the back. You like you should go to the North Sea to herd sheep! ”

"Did the emperor really say that?"

"I really said that!" Emperor Chongzhen said affirmatively.

"Since the emperor said it, he will immediately send them to Beihai to herd sheep!" Zhang Zhimu said.

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, "Do you really want them to let the sheep go?" ”

"Since the emperor said it, it is a holy decree, how can you not do it?" Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's right! Let them herd the sheep! After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhimu smiled and asked, "How is it?" Is the emperor in a better mood? ”

"Oops! Much better! Emperor Chongzhen said, "By the way, what else do you say you want to tell me?" ”

"I'm sending a baby to the emperor!" Zhang Zhimu took out the note that Lu Chengxiang gave him, tore off ten numbers, handed them to the emperor and said, "These are forty paging numbers, do you see if it's a baby?" ”

"Oops! What a baby! Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile on his face, "My Princess Chaoyang is still angry because I didn't give her a number to ask for!" It's good this time, those guys, don't make trouble! ”

"Your Majesty, there is another matter," Zhang Zhimu said, "Our subway line ** has been tried for a while, and the ribbon cutting is about to be carried out, and the emperor has to work hard!" ”
