Chapter 814: Radio Broadcasting
In an apartment complex in the old city of Beijing, more than 10 small three-storey apartments are arranged in an orderly manner. The entire apartment complex is surrounded by an iron fence, which isolates the entire community from the outside world.
At this time, if someone stands outside the fence and looks inside, they will find that the interior of the whole community is very clean and elegant. In addition to the roads for people and vehicles, there are many garden-like facilities in the complex, and the roads for pedestrians are paved with gravel...
Naturally, it's winter, and the gardens and other facilities are now covered in snow. So that the original purple and red are completely replaced by pure snow white. But even so, you can see the elegance of the whole community.
Compared with ordinary buildings, the buildings in the community also look elegant and unusual. The building has a slight hint of European design, which is very different from the simple, direct, and purely industrial design style of other surrounding communities.
It also makes people understand how special the identity of the residents who live here...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In order to be able to quickly improve the living and living environment of residents, it is almost inevitable that the original kind of simple, cold and chilling buildings will be cold in winter, and at the same time the life is not very convenient.
Instead, of course, there are modern buildings.
Although compared to those small courtyards, it is unlikely that the residents will have their own independent yards. Sometimes it may not even be comparable in size. However, as a modern building, at least in terms of the simplicity of life, it cannot be compared with the old buildings of the past.
Not to mention anything else, when the Anhui military government was in place. Yan Shao also lived in the yamen of the former governor of Anhui for a period of time. As a result, the environment there made Yan Shao feel uneasy now, nothing else, it was too simple, and life was extremely inconvenient. Although it is the yamen of the Anhui military government, it symbolizes the authority of tens of millions of people in Anhui, and ordinary buildings are absolutely incomparable.
But life is indeed too inconvenient, otherwise Yan Shao would not have abandoned it. In addition, I am rebuilding a presidential palace of my own that I can make myself comfortable.
But now it's different...
How to say it, what Yan Shao wanted to build back then was the Overseer's Mansion. That is, the place where Yan Shao worked when he was in power in Anhui. The first thing that is needed is the external majesty, and the second is the comfort of the process. It is also because of this that Yan Shao, who was not short of money at that time, threw a large amount of money on it, making the military government at that time the most magnificent building in the whole of Anhui.
Of course. There's definitely a lot of money thrown down on it. It is absolutely enough to equip at least one division.
However, at that time, Yan Shao was in the stage of being rich and willful, so he didn't have to care too much about it.
But now it's different, in order to do our best to keep the whole country on the right track, and at the same time to let the people of the country live a good life as much as possible. A building like Yan Shao's presidential palace is obviously absolutely unfeasible, and not to mention the complicated process for the time being, the cost alone is definitely not something that the national government can afford.
After all, a building makes millions. If even tens of millions, how many buildings can be built by the government in a year?
So. A building that is more suitable for the current domestic situation has become Yan Shao's first choice. The choice Yan Shao made was the buildings that were built in Anhui and Wuhu New Town. It's just that compared with the buildings of that time, the buildings built all over the country today are obviously more shabby.
After all, Wuhu New City at that time, even if it was a city, it was just a city after all. But now Yan Shao wants to promote this kind of architecture to the whole country, and the difficulty can be imagined.
In this way, reducing costs has become the primary condition. Of course, in addition to this, there is also the construction period and so on...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yan Shao's requirements are very simple, one is that the cost is low enough, and the other is that it should be simple to build. In order to achieve this goal, Zhou Ziqi, the minister of the Ministry of Urban Construction, and the engineers in the ministry were busy for more than a month before they designed a building that could meet Yan Shao's requirements.
A type of building that can be called modern, but relatively rudimentary.
The entire building is about six storeys high, which can meet the needs of the residents. Although the whole building is more or less simple because of the cost of solving the problem, there is absolutely no problem in terms of quality.
Even if it is to save costs, Yan Shao will definitely not save on this matter.
After all, in the later generations, there have been many things that can be used as a lesson for Yan Shao.
Even so, after streamlining the design, the cost of these buildings has been greatly reduced, and they are more suitable for national rollout.
It should be noted that the construction of these buildings is not the responsibility of the government, but is contracted by the government to the local construction team. The government is only responsible for quality supervision, and there are things like paying moneyββββββ but in order to prevent something from happening that should not happen, in addition to the Ministry of Urban Construction, the Ministry of Integrity will also visit the whole process of supervision.
Nowadays, this kind of building with simple structure and simple appearance has spread all over the country. Almost every large-scale county or city in the country has such a building, and this kind of building has also brought great convenience to the Chinese people.
It's just that although this kind of building has a lot of credit, because it is too simple, it is easy for people to think that the people who live here are ordinary people, such as employees working in factories, and it is also because of this that this kind of building is usually called a 'civilian building'.
Although this title is somewhat self-deprecating, the civilians who live here are very grateful for the promotion of this kind of architecture. After all, this kind of building is much stronger than the ones they used to live in. Naturally, they have nothing to complain about.
But on the other hand, since there are so-called 'commoner buildings', then there will definitely be so-called 'noble buildings'. And the buildings in this neighborhood in front of you. It seems to fall into this category...
Of course, if the so-called aristocratic building can be replaced with an aristocratic community, it may be more appropriate...
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
The so-called aristocratic community, as the name suggests. Of course, there are no aristocrats in China at the moment, so they live here. It can only be said that people whose life and even social status are far superior to ordinary people.
Compared with those commoners, these buildings located in the aristocratic quarters were obviously more beautifully built.
Then there are the views in the community. Obviously, this is definitely not something that can be found in the civilian communityββββββ at least in this period. After all, there is still a big gap between the productivity of this period and that of later generations, and it is absolutely impossible for all Chinese people to live in buildings like those of later generations and enjoy the life of later generations...
But what really differentiates the two. I'm afraid it's still what each other wears. and even transportation.
In and out of the aristocratic community, almost all of them are well-dressed, giving people the appearance that they are definitely social elites at a glance. Most of the means of transportation used for travel are cars. Even if there are a few people on foot, they usually choose to take a taxi when they go out, and for ordinary civilians, this thing can be painful for a long timeββββββ taxis already existed in this era, during the First World War. The French once organized a large number of Renault taxis to transport soldiers. These taxis even took part in the Battle of Verdun. Of course. It's just responsible for transporting soldiers in the rear.
I don't think it's surprising that this happens.
After all, no matter what era it is, there will be the so-called high and low. This is almost unavoidable, but at the same time, in one of the apartments in this aristocratic community, more than a dozen people are gathered in one room, secretly discussing something...
"Hell! This is definitely that Yan Shao's plan! β
Sitting in his seat, one of the middle-aged people shouted loudly with some excitement.
"Yes," someone on the side echoed him. During this period of time, Yan Shao has been ignoring the matters related to his term of office, but is busy with other things, such as the Korean War, and what kind of three-three system, and recently even paid for a large number of cultural relics from abroad and sent them to the museum to visit the exhibition. Yan Shao just wanted to use this method to delay time, and after a long time, sure enough, his enthusiasm for this matter had subsided, and his position was naturally firm..."
"There will always be some smart people in this world, isn't he afraid that someone will see his plan and publicize this matter, affecting his status."
"What is he afraid of..."Hearing that his companion would say such innocent words, the previous man couldn't help but smile bitterly. What is Yan Shao's prestige in China at the moment, I believe everyone here is also very clear, his prestige has been so high that ordinary things cannot be shaken at all. Even if he dragged on this matter, but did not give an answer, with the things he had done in the past, who could do anything to him? Even if there is even a little bit of influence, as long as he casually does something similar to the current one, won't his reputation be saved..."
Speaking of this, the man's expression was very helpless. "Just like the warship some time ago, when we learned that Yan Shao asked the warship to help the Yushi Group haul the cultural relics bought from Europe, we let people spread the news, so he used the country's things to satisfy his own personal interests. But the result? After this matter spread, it almost did not affect Yan Shao's prestige at all, and those foolish people completely took this country as a matter of course for Yan Shao..."
"And later, when Yan Shao came forward to clarify, saying that these cultural relics were bought back and stored in the National Museum for exhibition, and the warship was only used for protection, those foolish people were full of praise, and as a result, Yan Shao's reputation was not affected, but raised a lot..."
Hearing the man say this, the rest of the room was helpless. It was only after a half-ring that someone stood up and spoke. "So what do you think you should do? You can't just leave it at that..."
"Ahh I don't know what to say.
At least in his opinion, Yan Shao's meaning was already obvious at the moment, that is, to ignore them completely. I don't take their calls. Although doing so will definitely have a certain impact on Yan Shao's prestige, Yan Shao's prestige is too high, even if he directly cuts it in half, it may not affect Yan Shao's status.
What's more, now in China, many people who have experienced the former Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are probably looking forward to Yan Shao being able to sit in this position in front of them all the time...
And the times are still chaotic right now. Especially in China, there is a lot of potential for development, and Yan Shao only needs to do some things casually to recover his lost prestige. It's like what he did with those works of art some time ago.
As long as this is the case, coupled with the military power that Yan Shao holds, they can almost say that they have no way to take Yan Shao. Even Yan Shao didn't bother them, it seemed that they should already feel lucky...
"Ugh," comes to mind. The man from before couldn't help but sigh.
It's just when the atmosphere in the room gets a little dull. There was a sudden knock on the door. Hearing the knock on the door, everyone in the room was refreshed, but no one showed any concern, just one person stepped forward to open the door, and then looked over...
At this time, outside the door, a young man who looked to be in his 20s was standing there watching them...
"Xiao Wang, why are you here?"
Look at the young man standing outside the door. A person on the side asked a little strangely.
Obviously, this young man is also a relatively familiar person to them. Hearing the man's words, Xiao Wang hurriedly replied. "I have something to tell you...", Xiao Wang walked into the house, and the people in the house did not stop him.
At the beginning, that is, at the beginning, these people in the room were really worried about whether Yan Shao would directly send someone from the Special Affairs Bureau to cut them down or something in order to solve this trouble.
But as it turned out, they were overthinking.
For a year or so, perhaps the Secret Service was indeed spying on them, but other than that, there was no other movement to speak of. Over time, they will completely put their minds at ease...
"What the hell is it that made you run over all of a sudden?"
Looking at Xiao Wang, the person who opened the door earlier asked a little strangely.
Although there are many connections with each other, the person in front of me rarely comes here.
At the same time, everyone else looked at it.
And after glancing at them, the young man named Xiao Wang spoke. "I just got the news that the president ordered to build a kind of thing in all cities, counties and towns in the country, and the construction period is about two months, which means that within two months, these things must be completed.
Saying this, Xiao Wang looked at the people in the room. He knew very well what these people in front of him were thinking in their hearts, nothing more than what would be good for their future after pulling Yan Shao off the horse. He naturally doesn't think much of this, but on the other hand, although Yan Shao has done a lot for the country in this position, he also doesn't think that Yan Shao has always been in the position of president, which will be a good thing for the country.
It is also for this reason that he will do some small favors to these people in front of him when he works in the governmentββββββ although his official position and social status are really far from those in front of him, but he works in the presidential palace, and he is very well-informed in terms of information, which can also bring them a lot of useful news.
"Oh?" Hearing Xiao Wang's words, the people in the room became curious. "What is it?"
"Wireless broadcasting..."Because of the strict management, it was impossible to bring out the written text, so Xiao Wang had to explain it to them in an oral way. It was the president's order to build radio broadcasting equipment in all cities, towns, and even counties and towns in the country within two months, and I don't know exactly what he wanted to do, but it would definitely not be a small matter compared to such a big move. That's why I thought I'd let you know..."
Radio broadcasting is FM broadcasting, which is a device that transmits broadcasting in a wireless way.
In 1873, J.C. Maxwell of England theoretically proved the existence of radio waves. Year 1888. The German scientist H.R. Hertz passed guΓ² spark discharge of the real yΓ n, generated and received radio waves. In 1895, G. Marconi in Italy and A. C. Popov in Russia succeeded in using radio signals to communicate. At the beginning of the 20th century, sound broadcasting of language and music began to be realized.
In the original history, in 1920, the world's first radio station was born in Pittsburgh, USA, codenamed KDKA. In the late 20s and early 30s of the 20th century, television broadcasts with simultaneous sound and moving images were realized. Since then, radio broadcasting has occupied a more important position in people's lives.
As for China's radio broadcasting, it was in 1922. Founded by foreigners, on October 1, 1926, China's first radio station built by itself was officially broadcast.
In this era, because of Yan Shao's relationship. Many of the inventions that were very useful in later generations received a lot of money because of him, which made these technologies practical earlier than in history.
Radio broadcasting is one of them.
For Yan Shao. He spent his childhood broadcasting on the radio.
At that time, Yan Shao's family was very poor. The whole family can only live in a small square, and the usual range of activities is only in the small courtyard. Because of poverty, Yan Shao couldn't even afford a pet, and later his father caught a wild cat and wanted to be a pet for him, but looking at the wild cat struggling there, Yan Shao, who was only a few years old at the time, could only cry and let his father let the cat goββββββ of course, Yan Shao still felt very sorry when he grew up. In order to catch the wild cat, his father's arm was scratched quite a bit. And he actually let his father let the cat go.
Of course, this also shows how kind Yan Shao was when he was a child, if he was replaced by the current Yan Shao, maybe he would also persuade his father not to tame this wild cat.
Hmm, instead of wasting your efforts to tame a wild cat, wouldn't it be a more powerful choice to use this cat to make a cat meat hot pot~
All in all, Yan Shao's childhood was spent in poverty, and for Yan Shao at that time, the only concoction of his childhood was a radio and a radio that could be heard from it. As for TV or something, for his family at that time, it was something that he couldn't enjoy, and later even a black and white TV was enough for him to envy for a long time...
By the way...
At that time, it was already the end of the 20th century, that is, the time of the nineties...
It is precisely because of his childhood experience that Yan Shao is very familiar with things like wireless broadcasting. While serving as president, Yan Shao has also been working part-time as the minister of science and technology research, specifically responsible for approving some promising projects that are in urgent need of funds.
And Yan Shao, with his own experience in later life, has indeed found many extremely useful projects...
This includes radio broadcasting...
Even without the influence of childhood, Yan Shao knows very well how important the significance of radio broadcasting is.
It was also for this reason that when Yan Shao saw the expression related to wireless broadcasting handed to him, Yan Shao quickly approved the plan. This also makes China not the country that invented wireless broadcasting, but it is definitely ahead of all countries in the issue of practical use...
Of course, there are not many of them, at least at present, there are no real commercial radio broadcasts in China, and some are only used for real purposes.
But...
Soon, China will be the first country to put radio into practical use, and on a large scale, which will also be crucial for Yan Shao's plan...
At least after having such a thing, Yan Shao is sure to solve his current problem. (To be continued......)
