Chapter 62: The Machine Bureau
"Shi Fengrong is greedy for life and afraid of death, guilty!"
After Zhong Ying finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "But I read that Shifeng Rongping said that he had worked hard and made great achievements, and he had worked hard for the affairs of the new army, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, and he still had some merit, and the death penalty could be avoided." Shi Fengrong was dismissed from his post and sent back to Chengdu for a separate retrial. ”
Knowing that Shi Fengrong is Zhong Ying's cronies, it is rare for Zhong Ying to be able to do this, Zhao Erfeng nodded.
"As for this second battalion pipe band." Zhong Ying's eyes swept around the camp tent: "The original second battalion led Zhang Xu, acting pipe band." ”
Zhao Erfeng was a little displeased, in his heart, Wang Hengyue was the best candidate for the pipe. But the second battalion is the second battalion of the 33rd Mixed Association, and it is understandable to use the gang to act as the pipe band.
Zhong Ying suddenly said, "Wang Hengyue." ”
"In!"
"Wang Hengyue has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and he is also the leader of the second battalion, this first team, you are still in charge."
"Yes!" Wang Hengyue responded.
It's okay, I got a deputy battalion commander to do it.
This official was beaten down by himself, but even so, the speed of promotion is considered fast. In such a short period of time, from an unknown ordinary man to a deputy battalion commander.
In fact, if he really wants Wang Hengyue to be the pipe band, he may not be happy. Rong County has a lot of money for Wang Hengyue, and now everything is starting to get on the right track, if he wants to change places, then his hard work will be in vain.
Although this counterinsurgency did not reap the benefits of the actual surname, it still gained a lot. First, he has made a name for himself in Tibet, and when he puts down the rebellion for the second time in the future, he will be able to show his strength.
The most important point is that it left a good impression in Zhao Erfeng's heart. Wang Hengyue knew very well that Zhao Erfeng would soon take over the position of governor of Sichuan, although the time was short, but after all, he could still be a few months, and at that time, he would have a lot to do with the impression in his heart. More importantly, is his brother still in the position of governor of Sichuan?
What is Wang Hengyue's idea in his heart, where does Zhao Erfeng know? I only know that Wang Hengyue has made such a contribution, but he was only sealed as a nominal helper, he should have been wronged, but looking at Wang Hengyue's appearance, he was not moved at all, thinking that this person was not burdened by fame and fortune, thinking about it, he had a better impression of Wang Hengyue in his heart.
Shi Fengrong was escorted down, and Zhao Erfeng spoke there again, letting everyone disperse, leaving Wang Hengyue alone.
"Tell me." Zhao Erfeng's words were full of affection: "You have made such a contribution, but you have not deserved to be rewarded, and you have been wronged." Although this minister controls the border affairs of Sichuan and Yunnan, it is not good to interfere too much in the affairs of the Sichuan army after all, and you must be clear about this. ”
Wang Hengyue hurriedly said: "Whatever Lord Zhao says, he will do things for the imperial court, and a little grievance is nothing." ”
"It's best if you think so." Zhao Erfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Do you have any requirements?" ”
This is a great opportunity, Wang Hengyue is willing to let go, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zhao, the place in Rong County is very good, and the local businessmen have the intention of saving the country through industry, and they want to open a machine bureau, but they have no chance to meet Zhao Duxian, so this matter can only be delayed." Hengyue thinks that it is feasible to set up a machine bureau that is beneficial to the country and the people."
"Machine Bureau? Do you want to make weapons? Zhao Erfeng asked with a frown.
"It's not." Wang Hengyue had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, this machine bureau is used to make weapons and ammunition, but he can't say it: "This is used in the mining industry." Most of our machines are imported from the West and are controlled by foreigners, if we can make our own machines, we can get rid of the control of foreigners, enrich the country and benefit the people."
After a pause, he continued: "The money for opening the Machinery Bureau is naturally managed by local businessmen, and there is no need for Zhao Duxian to spend a penny."
"So you mean I'll intercede for you." Zhao Erfeng said.
"That's exactly what Hengyue meant."
"How much silver are you going to invest in it?" Zhao Erfeng suddenly asked.
Wang Hengyue was stunned, even if the Machinery Bureau could allow the opening, Lao Tzu didn't know where to get the silver, but to say that he was so enthusiastic without investment, it was absolutely unbelievable: "Back to the adult, Hengyue wants to invest thousands of taels of silver in it." ”
"Shu Zhina, I heard that your Wang family has a great cause in the United States, and a few thousand taels of silver is nothing." Zhao Erfeng said with a smile: "I will give you a letter of Zhao Duxian's repair, which can be regarded as compensation for your merits, but if Zhao Duxian does not allow it, I will not dare to guarantee the ticket!" ”
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed in his heart.
If you write a letter to your brother as a younger brother, it will be much easier. Lao Tzu nominally made machines, but what he did secretly was a secret.
Zhao Erfeng said a few words of encouragement, and Wang Hengyue got up to say goodbye.
When I went out, I saw that Zhang Xu, the new second battalion manager, had been waiting there for a long time, and when I saw Wang Hengyue coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "No, Wang is the officer, Wang is the assistant." ”
"Congratulations." Wang Hengyue arched his hand with a smile.
Zhang Xuda was embarrassed: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, speaking of which, my pipe belt position was originally yours, and your king helped to fight bloodily, but my brother picked a ready-made peach, and I was ashamed." ”
"Where does the pipe band say, in the future, the pipe band will be in Leshan, and the brothers will be in Rong County, and there will be many places to support each other." Wang Hengyue has a good impression of this person, he is much stronger than Shi Fengrong when he becomes his boss.
"You can't be wronged by the king." Zhang Xu already had a plan in his heart: "This time, the first team consumed a huge amount of ammunition, and after the brothers returned to Leshan, they would definitely try their best to allocate a batch of rifle bullets to the first team." ”
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed, this person is really good.
Seeing Wang Hengyue's subordinate Deng Xia waiting on the side, Zhang Xu bowed his hand and said goodbye, and Wang Hengyue called Deng Xia to his side: "How is Yu Lei now?" ”
"It's all skin trauma, it's not in the way." Deng Xia looked to the side and said in a low voice: "When I came, Yu Lei repeatedly asked me to tell the adults that Shi Fengrong must be killed completely, and there must be no future troubles. This time Shi Fengrong was escorted back to Chengdu, and Deng Xia thought it was a great opportunity."
"No." Wang Hengyue shook his head: "If it is discovered, it is no different from the crime of treason, and our hard work will be in vain." Besides, Shi Fengrong doesn't pose much threat to us at the moment. However, Zhong Ying was only afraid that he would be very dissatisfied with me this time. By the way, what happened to Shi Fengrong's children? The dog said, Yu Lei is also really bold. ”
"I don't know, but Yu Lei said that you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots when you do things."
Wang Hengyue was stunned for a moment, cut the grass and eradicate the roots? It's a little too ruthless. After all, the pair of children were innocent. Although Yu Lei is loyal to himself, his way of acting is inevitably too unrelenting.
"Deng Xia understands the intentions of adults, but according to Yu Lei's approach, I'm afraid it's too late to stop it now!"
