Chapter 111: Prospects

The two kept talking about the rooster in the small living room of the county government, and Zhao Yuncai gave up. Both sides benefited from the talks.

Since it was a friendly meeting, Deputy County Magistrate Xu naturally wanted to send Zhao Yun off. Speaking of which, this county government should actually be lived by Zhao Yunlai, and now it is still occupied by Deputy County Magistrate Xu's family in order to save rent, and Deputy County Magistrate Xu is also a little embarrassed.

But that's just embarrassing, if he wants Deputy County Magistrate Xu to let him out, Deputy County Magistrate Xu is unwilling in his heart.

"You send someone to pull the wire to me tomorrow, I have a generator, and a county government will light candles at night, it's too embarrassing!" Zhao Yun said.

"The prefectural government also has a generator, but it can only be used in the telegraph room where the telegraph is delivered! Burning diesel is too expensive! ”

"Hehehe!" When Zhao Yun heard this, he could only laugh dryly. Deputy County Magistrate Xu, a fat-headed guy with big ears, estimated that he used the money to buy diesel fuel to buy gasoline for his car.

"Dad, who are you talking to?" Suddenly, a figure walked out of the back hall, still rubbing his eyes, and when he saw Zhao Yunzai, "Huh! He screamed and ran back.

"Huh! The little girl is not sensible, and she laughs! Deputy County Magistrate Xu snorted.

Zhao Yun saw it clearly this time, it turned out to be an eleven or twelve-year-old little Lori, and the daughter of Deputy County Magistrate Xu was too young, forget it, I thought it was a big beauty!

What Zhao Yun didn't know was that the deputy county magistrate had five daughters!

Two days later, in the morning

"Xu Ziming, the Yangtze River Shangcao Gang, has seen the county elder!" Xu Ziming, who had met Zhao Yun, came to visit again with a lot of gifts.

"You're welcome! This official invited you to come this time, but I have something to ask for. "Zhao Yun specially sent someone to invite him this time, but he didn't expect that the other party was carrying a lot of things now, it seems that he is really not the material to be an official! I haven't gotten used to being a county official until now!

"If the adult has anything, say that the villain will give the adult a satisfactory answer!" Is it to pay the money, seeing Zhao Yun so attentive, Xu Ziming couldn't help but think that the world is as black as a crow, is this going to start reaching out?

"Brother Xu, you are older than me, so I will call Brother Xu by honor! The younger brother wants to ask Brother Xu for advice this time, what type of ships are walking on the Yangtze River now, and the cement shipyard of the younger brother is going to produce a new ship type recently, and I want to ask Brother Xu to check the check for the younger brother to see if it is practical. Zhao Yun said as he thought about Xu Ziming's eyes. This is outside the house, if you don't explain the matter, Xu Ziming will be difficult to get off later.

"Then you must know everything below." Xu Ziming is also a smart person, and when he saw Zhao Yun's eyes, he immediately replied.

The two of them politely rushed into the house.

"Brother Xu, the younger brother really has something to ask for this time." Zhao Yun hurriedly poured tea and water.

"What's the matter, the adult, you open your mouth, and the villain will see if you can do it." When Xu Ziming entered the house, the whole person relaxed, which is also what he often does when he negotiates.

"Brother Xu, do you have a sea boat in your hand?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Sea vessels? I don't know how big it is or what it will be for. Xu Ziming was stunned, what he did was an inland river business!

"The bigger, the better, the kind that can sail far, I'm also anxious now, and I don't know anyone, so I can only ask you to introduce a few, the industry has a good reputation and strong ability."

"Yes, yes, but it's not for us, we only run inland rivers, I can help you connect with galleons that take the Japanese route, which can carry 600 to 1,200 tons!" Xu Ziming thought for a moment.

"That's it? Is there a bigger one? When Zhao Yun heard this, it was only 1,200 tons, and his cement ship could build such a big one.

"Don't know what you're shipping? If it's bigger, you can connect with the foreigner's iron wheel, and the largest one can have 10,000 tons! Xu Ziming knows that this person has a big appetite, and he probably wants to transport something special, but this doesn't take more than 10,000 tons, right?

"Foreigners, no, no insurance!" Zhao Yun thought about it, no! "Forget it, I'll find this myself, but you have to help me contact a few sailors to lead the way, one is on the Japanese route, the other is south, it doesn't matter where I go, I want to transport a cargo." The sea is vast and you don't need to find a guide.

Seeing Xu Ziming's full promise, "By the way, do you have a place to deal with black goods, I have a friend who got some black goods and wants to make a move!" Zhao Yun thought about it and said again.

"Yes! But I don't know what kind of black goods it is? Some are very good and the price is high, some are troublesome, the price is very low, only less than 30% of the original, you have to be prepared! "Xu Ziming was ready to do big business before he came today, and now when he heard it, he knew that there must be a drama, Zhao Yun was in the arms business, he had a background, he had a background, he had a background, and he would definitely have the benefits to help them do their work.

"Well, this time it's all by sea, where do you usually pick up the goods?" Zhao Yun considered another problem.

"By sea? Is this a bit of a hassle? The only nearby is the port of Shanghai. That's a crowd of foreigners! It's easy to sell but it's not easy to meddle! Xu Ziming began to mumble.

"Then where else do you say? Is it okay to keep the price lower? Safety matters! Zhao Yun hurriedly asked.

"Ningbo! It's okay there, too! After thinking about it, Xu Ziming cautiously spoke, if this goods goes south, it can go to Shanghai, and if it goes north, then Ningbo can also do it.

"Yes!" That is the territory of the Zhejiang Army, and Zhao Yun is still confident in their commercial credit!

"Actually, you can also contact Qi Overseer directly if you have some things, he is also a big black dealer!" Xu Ziming only spoke at the end.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was stunned for a while, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back, why did he forget this guy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. If he really transported a shipload of goods that day and was served, it is estimated that he could find it in the warehouse in Nanjing.

Not long after Xu Ziming left, a telegram about his conversation with Zhao Yun was sent to the Jiangsu Overseer's Mansion.

Of course, the content is only part of the conversation in front of the door.

"This kid has a new gadget coming out again?" Piling up this information on the content of the conversation between Deputy County Magistrate Xu and Zhao Yun, the information about Zhao Yun in the hands of Qi Supervisor Jun was already thick.

"How is the shipbuilding work at the Jinling Shipyard going? Can a 600-ton one be built? Qi Overseer stood in front of the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and asked.

"Not yet, at most 300 tons can be built, and once it is exceeded, the cement ship bones loaded with goods will be unbearable." Adjutant Lin stood at his desk and explained bitterly.

"Our shipbones can't work? How did that kid do it! Qi Dujun said coldly, according to the intelligence, Zhao Yun only made the shipbone in Yixing.

It is said that he melted the finest steel products and cast them into a one-time mold. The reason should be in those steel products. Adjutant Lin estimated that the Overseer was going to get angry, and immediately came out to shirk responsibility.

"What about the original keel? Where are you now? "Qi Overseer thought about it for a while, in this case, it is better to show it to the people in the arsenal, maybe they can see something! If you really can't do it, show it to the people in the steel mill! Anyway, it must be studied, and it is useless to force the people in the shipyard.

"It was taken by the people of the Arsenal!" Adjutant Lin had already considered being trained.

"Hmmm! They're smart, so what have they come up with? "Overseer Qi is still very confident in his arsenal.

"Lord Overseer, the ten infantry cannons you tested yesterday were made after the ship's bones melted!" Adjutant Lin had already bowed his head, ready to be smashed by the Overseer's teacup.

After waiting for half a sound and not moving, when he looked up, Qi Dujun looked at Wen Jiàn blankly, as if he hadn't heard Adjutant Lin's report.

"Then steel can make cannons?" Half-loudly said to himself.

"Stop building 600-ton cement ships! Let's wait until we have good steel in the future! Qi Dujun glanced at Zhao Yun's information and pondered, "Did you treat him too much before, he is not a fool, he should know in his heart, if he is not completely sure in the future, he should not force the dog to jump over the wall?"

If you spend some money, I don't know if you can mend the rift with him!

I just don't know what to cost? ”

Early in the morning, Zhao Yun led the team into the county office.

"Deputy County Magistrate Xu is early!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.

Deputy County Magistrate Xu doesn't want to see Zhao Yun now, but he is afraid that Zhao Yun is still thinking about something, although this is all caused by his baby daughter.

"County magistrate, I don't know why I have to bother the county magistrate to run in person?" Deputy County Magistrate Xu was both swaying and clenching his fists.

Zhao Yun also said seriously, "This official has just received a notice from home that a batch of new ships has arrived in Shanghai and wants to receive them in person, so I want to ask the deputy county magistrate to help send a telegram to Nanjing and let me go!" ”

After talking that night, Deputy County Magistrate Xu understood Zhao Yun's thoughts, and he was no longer sloppy, and said on a case-by-case basis, "Shanghai? This one! All right! I'll ask first! You sit down for a while, and the old king has tea on his head! ”

"Wait, I'll ask for a few more things!" Zhao Yun glanced at Deputy County Magistrate Xu.

"Okay, you guys stand down first!" Deputy County Magistrate Xu said to the people in the house, and when he saw that they were all out, he whispered to Zhao Yun, "Little brother, since you came, there are several more smart servants in my house!" ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry to trouble my brother!" Zhao Yun also understood.

"Let's talk about it! What else is there to do? Deputy County Magistrate Xu knew that Zhao Yun must have made a big move.

"I'm going to send 200 people to form a construction team, and the progress of the project is too slow. They are not professionals, they are just a group of farmers, and they have the strength, but they must be instructed on the spot to do it, which is too troublesome! So I'm going to set up a construction team and transfer some people! Zhao Yun's words are very simple, just for the progress of the project.

"It seems that the little brother is going to make a big move! Okay, I'll report it for you! Anything else? "Deputy County Magistrate Xu also knows that his current behavior is stepping on two boats! But on one side is power, and on the other side is white money, and he doesn't want to give up either.

"No, but I want to do my best, I hope to go to Shanghai this morning, the goods there will come quickly!" Zhao Yun also knows that there are still people in Shanghai who want to connect with him!

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Deputy County Magistrate Xu hurried to the telegraph room.

This batch of goods was actually a ship sent from Ningbo Port, loaded on the wharf of Zhao Yun in the Zhoushan Islands, and went straight to Shanghai.

He was accompanied by Adjutant Sun, oh! He has now been promoted, and is now the deputy head of the Overseer's Guard. After a while, he will be transferred to Jinhua and other places to serve as deputy division commanders, and a huge number of recruits who have already been formed there have completely become troops after more than half a year of training.
