Chapter 355: Arrogant Field
After the wedding, Monk Lingqin and Sheng Bao also led their troops to Henan, and the entire city of Jinan gradually settled down.
Guo Ye always has to go to Dengzhou Mansion to take office, as the governor of Dengzhou Mansion, staying in Jinan Mansion is not a thing, not to mention, in Dengzhou, there are more things to do, the first is the preparation of Weihaiwei, the second is the preparation of Qingdao Port, the two ports are extremely important in Guo Ye's plan, one involves the future naval plan, and the other involves the construction of Shandong's economic leader, which Guo Ye must build. ”
After arriving in Dengzhou, Guo Ye began to inspect Weihai and Jiaozhou non-stop, and in just half a month, the journey exceeded 1,000 miles!
Ding Ruchang on the side said worriedly: "My lord, how do you say these two ports will be built?" Our eyes are black, or let's ask the Ministry of Industry for help? With your face in front of Prince Gong, you must have what kind of talent, he can send it to you, otherwise, just by virtue of our people, it is okay to make efforts, specifically in the planning of the project, we are not as good as a girl! ”
Guo Ye glared at Ding Ruchang angrily, and said angrily: "You are not as good as a girl, that is because you are incompetent, it doesn't mean that I don't understand, follow me honestly, all the data you record, no one is allowed to make mistakes!" ”
"Wow!"
Although Ding Ruchang admired Guo Ye's five-body throw, but that was in the war, and even in local governance, Guo Ye had two hits, which made him envious, but. This port was built. It's not the same thing at all from military politics! I have a specialization in the art industry. Does this Lord Futai really understand? , if he understands everything, then wouldn't he become a god?
Ding Ruchang was deeply skeptical of Guo Ye's ability in engineering.
Yes, Guo Ye is not an expert in civil engineering, and some of the things he learned in his previous life basically have nothing to do with these, but he was born in the military and is no stranger to the construction of military facilities. Even the equipment and materials of that era could not be used in this era, but this vision and insight are not comparable to ordinary people.
Guo Ye is also worried, lack of corresponding talents, what kind of talents are lacking, at this time, there is no one, then nothing can be done!
What's more, this is the hard way for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how great her ability is, in this matter. It can only be planned as well as possible, and it cannot be implemented.
But. Guo Ye is not a fool, he doesn't understand these civil engineering, won't he go to find someone who understands? Those people in the Ministry of Industry are all old guys, and it is really unreassuring to let them engage in construction, in this era, they still have to rely on those hateful foreigners!
After all, a modern military port is inseparable from modern industry, and it is also inseparable from those engineers who have entered industrial civilization.
Guo Ye had already made a request to the US Minister Hua Ruohan, asking him to look for talents in various fields for himself in the United States, and as for the talents in engineering construction, they are naturally indispensable.
Hua Ruohan and Collint are still very face-saving to old friends, personally contacted, recommended more than ten engineering experts for Guo Ye, are rare talents in the United States, among which the team leader is the well-known American engineer Field, which is also the reason why Guo Ye has been relatively calm, as long as these people arrive in Shandong, they will solve a big problem by themselves, they are responsible for strategic planning, these engineers are responsible for engineering technology, for them, the construction of seaports should still be familiar with it.
When Guo Ye was still in Jiaozhou, Field's team of American engineers arrived in Yantai, and when Guo Ye returned to Penglai, Field also arrived in Penglai almost at the same time.
When Guo Ye heard the news that Field and the others had arrived in Penglai, his spirit was shocked, and he could do it now!
Guo Ye hurriedly ordered someone to invite Field and others into the payment yamen.
"You are the magical general Guo that Colt keeps praising in his mouth?"
As a native of the United States, Field could not speak Chinese, so he could only ask Guo Ye in English, but his tone would not be so peaceful.
Guo Ye replied with a smile in English: "Yes, I am Guo Ye, Mr. Colt's old friend, Mr. Field, welcome to the beautiful Shandong, I hope you can like this place......"
Field shook his head and replied: "Guo, I have to say, Penglai is a good place, extremely beautiful, but the Qing Kingdom is too poor and too backward, if it weren't for Colt's invitation, I would never have come here, I still have to do my academic research, in the United States, I have too many things to do......"
Ding Ruchang has been studying English with Guo Ye for three or four months, although it is difficult to read and write, but listening and speaking, there is no big problem, and naturally I can hear the disdain and indifference in Field's tone.
Ding Ruchang raised his eyebrows, and was about to get angry, but was glared back fiercely by Guo Ye on the side.
Ding Ruchang snorted angrily and stepped aside.
Guo Ye smiled: "Mr. Field, don't you feel proud to send your knowledge and technology to a magical country?" In the United States, you are just an engineer, and there are many people who can reach your level, but you are unique in the Great Qing Kingdom, you will get the most generous treatment from me, as long as you can put it forward, I will do my best to satisfy you! ”
Field shook his head and replied, "Guo, it's not so easy to build a port, especially a military port, do you have the relevant technology?" Is there any equipment in place? ”
Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "We don't have these, what I have is money, and what I have is trust in you, I hope that you can build two or two ports into a classic work of your voice in the next time, and it will be passed on to future generations, I will give you the greatest trust, as long as you decide something, I fully support you!" ”
Field smiled bitterly: "Even if you fully support me, the equipment and technical talents I need will not be discovered, this is a huge problem......
Guo Ye smiled: "Mr. Field, I suggest that you can recruit some apprentices in our China, teach them while giving them the opportunity to practice in engineering, Chinese technicians are the smartest, as long as they give them a certain amount of practice, they will definitely give you a satisfactory result." As for the benefits, Mr. Colt will send them directly to your family every month as required by your agreement. ”
Field's heart skipped a beat, Colt had come to pay his own people! This is not a small amount, on average, each person is 200 dollars a month, 10 people is 2,000 dollars, a year is 20,000 dollars, these two ports are all completed, it is difficult to complete without three or five years, then Colt has to pay at least 100,000 dollars!
What makes Colt willing to pay such a price! (To be continued.) )
