This reminded Zhao Chuanxin that in the 18th century, there was a Swiss watch master named Jacques Droz who made a mechanical puppet with an alphabet plate at the back. After adjustment, the puppet could write up to forty letters. sentence.
The puppets it makes can also draw pictures, including a dog, a simple portrait of a human face, and can play musical instruments.
This man also gave Qianlong a puppet, which could use a brush to write Chinese characters in eight directions, and the king would come from nine soils.
These eight characters are very Qianlong and very awkward.
In the past, Zhao Chuanxin thought it was a fake, but until he saw the real thing in the Palace Museum,
it was hard to imagine that this was a purely mechanical thing. I really hope that when we see this, there is no abstract player who immediately wants to mention his ancestors
He really wants to see what the puppet army in the cursed desert in the east looks like.
I asked the craftsman, what about you, can you do it?
The craftsman shook his head. Craftsmen are divided into three levels and nine levels, one level and one threshold. I am only at the peak of the first level, which is level three. Only by understanding the order of basic seal-carving rune fragments can one advance to the second level, usually making some weapons and armor inlaid with gems. Craftsmen who can make puppets must be at least the third level, starting from the seventh level. The craftsmen who can make puppet warriors for the Desert Emperor are all ninth-level craftsmen. In his lifetime, every ninth-level craftsman could not make three puppet warriors. Legend has it that there was a craftsman who could seize the creation of heaven and earth. He imitated the old gods and made a glove that could gather sand into a tower and shape the earth. We call this craftsman a divine craftsman, and we can no longer seize it with common sense.
Zhao Chuanxin’s heart was beating wildly.
It turned out to be mud trowel gloves.
The Misty Traveler may also be the work of a certain divine craftsman.
We found a hotel to stay and eat, which almost used up my last few gold coins. We must leave tomorrow.
At the hotel, I met a female monk who was also staying at the hotel.
Wearing a cloak and a veil, she passed by us in a hurry. No one can guess what this sanctimonious female monk from Hongdao wants to do when she comes to curse the desert.
We rested in the hotel to replenish energy for the journey tomorrow.
Zhao Chuanxin closed the Old God Code.
The next morning.
Yao Bing really peed on the bed
After he woke up, he opened the quilt with a guilty conscience, looked at it, and then got out of the quilt.
Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes and saw the map on the quilt.
Waving his hand, the water evaporated, but the map remained.
"This little little calf."
It is said that children urinate on the bed and have to pee for a while.
It’s all in vain if you wash it.
After getting up and eating, Zhao Chuanxin went outside to inspect the construction site.
The excavated foundations have been backfilled and masonry walls have been built.
Several office spaces and barracks were built at the same time. Fortunately, there were enough workers.
Yang Sangda is happy to comeHe said, "Prefect, some Han people have come here. They have nothing to do after the autumn harvest. They heard that we paid wages in time, so they all wanted to come and see if there was any work."
Zhao Chuanxin went to the courtyard wall to take a look. A crowd of people looked eagerly at the busy construction site.
Zhao Chuanxin took out the drawings, looked at them, and ordered, "Organize people to buy fire bricks and pull sand. I want to pave a few streets in front of the government office, leading directly to the training grounds, barracks, courts, and transactions." Market and paving the road to Manchuria."
Yang Sangdaxi looked at the drawing and was surprised, "Isn't this too extravagant? Foreigners would not dare to pave so many roads."
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
"Go to General Office Yao to make statistics and purchase, and just follow the instructions."
"Yes, sir."
Manpower is very cheap here, Zhao Chuanxin If it is not used, it is a waste.
Yang Sangdaxi only saw the money but not the logic behind it.
What Lubin Mansion needs to do most now is not to save money, but to spend money to buy credibility.
Hundreds of people, working until the snow falls, don’t spend much money in total.
But the effect is definitely beyond everyone’s expectation.
The workers on the construction site understood one thing at this time: Lubin Mansion is not short of money, Lubin Mansion does not suppress wages, and Lubin Mansion will practice what it preaches.
The moment the government office is built is the time to open up the situation.
Zhao Chuanxin is only responsible for designing the drawing layout and does not care about the rest.
As he said, the current system is a mobilization system, and all public officials in Lubin Mansion are full of energy. Even Zhang Shouzeng would go to the construction site to supervise the work when he had nothing to do.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they are huddled together in a shabby office at this time. Everyone wants to live in a spacious office to work.
Huang Shifu finally couldn't stay any longer. He still had a lot of official duties to be busy with.
Before leaving, Zhao Chuanxin said to him, "It's the same thing, the public funds for Hulun Army Preparation Road, please submit a note and you can take it away after the accounting office approves it."
Huang Shifu snorted and said to himself that luckily there was still Huangyin who was recruited by the government to reclaim wasteland. I heard that Zhao Chuanxin drove away the Russian people on the right bank of the Ergun River, and I think I can get a fortune from the cultivated land there.
He thought beautifully.
Seeing Zhao Chuanxin walking around with his hands behind his back, doing nothing, Huang Shifu snorted again and headed towards Manzhouli.
After he left, Zhao Chuanxin called Hu Da to "send some capable people to ride on horseback to the right bank of the Ergun River to see how many Russians were still there." Come on, hum, let’s go over and chase them away.”
Because Bodigrile was on duty, he was also here, and his eyes lit up and he asked, “Prefect, who owns those old lands?”
"Don't think about good things." Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him, "I will make arrangements for you five managers. I can't hurt you, but don't think about it."
Zhao Chuanxin takes care of it elsewhere. However, in his territory, there is gradually no longer a place for big landowners to survive.
Cut meat with a dull knife.
Land taxes, head taxes, household taxes, and the additional exploitation of the people by local officials must be changed.
Cixi felt that the land of Hailar was a piece of land, but it was a treasure to Zhao Chuanxin.
He can knead it as much as he wants.
Bodigrile licked his lips and secretly thought it was a pity.
He was a bit straight-headed and asked, "Prefect, how do you want to arrange for us?"
Not to mention, Zhao Chuanxin just followed this set of "coal, gold, salt. Release tickets" When the time comes, you, the five-wing general manager, will be given priority. Then you will know what it means to make a lot of money. How much money can you make a year by digging in the soil?”
In the past, people only regarded land.
In recent years, the Qing government has been engaged in Westernization and industrial development, and everyone has finally seen what it means to make money every day.
Isn’t Sheng Xuanhuai a living example
The richest man
Speaking of industrialists, who doesn’t envy them
Because he often engages in officialdom Supervise business affairs, work as an official, earn money, and have both face and face.
Podigrel's eyes lit up, "The prefect is saying that the mines taken back from the Russians"
"Yes, when the time comes, they will be able to balance the interests of your five-wing general manager." Just balance it, and if it can't be balanced, split the shares." Zhao Chuanxin was also very straightforward and discussed the matter of the two sides.
Podigrile was overjoyed, "The mine, it's a good feeling."
"Don't think too much, the mine is not yours, you only have the contracting right to issue tickets. It's not good." Just replace him."
"Release the ticket" Bodigrile's mood is like a roller coaster, "If it's not ours, then it's very precarious."
It's still the inherent thinking of once and for all.
Even a country cannot always be a family, let alone a mine.
"You are such a pig brain," Zhao Chuanxin said directly, "Even if you can only contract for one year to deliver coal to the Maozi Middle East Line train in Manchuria, do you know how much you can earn? I have two mines. The total assets of the Kaiping Mining Bureau are millions of taels of silver. Do you dare to think that if you exploit the people for one year, you won't be able to earn more money in ten years? Keep doing it. If you don’t do it well, then go back and learn again. Why should you take advantage of all the good things?”
Listening to that number, Bodigrile’s heart beat like a drum.
Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips vaguely.
Ore and mine are different.
The mining equipment is advanced or not.
The Kaiping Mining Bureau has gone through many years of development and equipment updates, and its system has become mature. It is definitely not comparable to Zhalainuoer.
Besides, there is only contracting rights and no ownership rights, let alone total assets, they do not exist.
But Bodigrile didn't take it into consideration at all. At this time, he only fantasized about having millions of taels of silver, but was deceived by Zhao Chuanxin.
The only advantage of mining areas such as Zhalainuoer is that it is close enough to Manzhouli that coal can be delivered by driving camels and carts, and there are enough livestock to pull the carts, so you can earn a lot of money.It's all quick money.
Zhao Chuanxin must give them some sweetness, not just squeeze them, but this sweetness cannot be enough to breed their ambitions.
Yao Jia just happened to be here.
He took the drawing and pointed to an office above and said, "Prefect, we don't have a Bureau of Reclamation, so why do we have a Bureau of Reclamation office?"
"We don't have one now. It doesn't mean that there will be no reclamation affairs in the future. Your official goods bureau will be the agent for the time being. Hulun Bingbei said that there is a ready-made reclamation bureau. We will move here later."
Yao Jia was stunned when he heard this. You have taken Huang Shifu's idea to empty the army and make Song Xiaolian the bare commander."
Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said nothing.
Overstaffing and chaotic structure were major shortcomings of the Qing government's new policies. They imitate other countries, but they can only learn the superficial knowledge and cannot learn the essence. They are crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Eager for reform and change, this is also the inevitable result. The Kaiping Mining Bureau during the period of official supervision and commercial management is a living example. It was originally very good, but it turned out that they were too busy to deal with the problem.
No one is allowed to appear here in Zhao Chuanxin.
From the beginning, he must clearly divide the powers and duties so that not a grain of food in Lubin Mansion is redundant.
If he sets up a Bureau of Reclamation here, then the Bureau of Reclamation in Bingbei Road will be abandoned. It is not cost-effective to allocate money to them every year for expenses.
However, he does not want to empty Bingbei Road. He even wants to set up a new acceptance department in Bingbei Road. Song Xiaolian will definitely be furious at this time. He has accumulated grievances for a long time. If he sets up an acceptance bureau, he will definitely not let go. At that time, it can be used to restrict some departments of Lubin Mansion. Otherwise, too much power will raise its tail and breed corruption.
But this cannot be said to Yao Jia. Firstly, it cannot make him take precautions in advance. Secondly, it cannot make him think too much or discourage him.
Song Xiaolian is indeed very angry.
Huang Shifu went back and told him the matter.
"What a great Zhao Chuanxin, but if he betrays him, he even dares to secretly pay taxes and money. It is simply lawless."
Huang Shifu said quietly from the side, "Master Song, you better think about it. , How should I explain it to Zhou Xunfu?"
Heilongjiang Governor Zhou Shumo is a man of few words, and he also has a hard time rubbing his eyes.
Song Xiaolian wandered back and forth, but there was nothing he could do.
In the past, Cixi and Zhang Zhidong felt that Zhao Chuanxin came here because it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
But what’s the truth?
Zhao Chuanxin took over all the power in the first half of the month, and now he has become Song Xiaolian, a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice.
He is now unable to dispatch the five-wing general manager, which was unimaginable before.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy drug Zhao Chuanxin gave them.
The medicine given by Zhao Chuanxin is power and interests.
On behalf of the Qing court, Song Xiaolian wanted to reform and appoint Han officials on a large scale and deprive the five-wing general manager of his power. But Zhao Chuanxin did the opposite.
No one is stupid.
Zhao Chuanxin is strong and capable, and can bring endless benefits to them. If you don’t follow Zhao Chuanxin, what are you thinking about?
If you don’t follow the wolf to eat meat, follow the sheep to eat. Grass
Huang Shifu said again, "Zhao passed the imperial examination to drive away the Russian people and free up a large area of cultivated land, I think"
Song Xiaolian thought of Wu Sadi, shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry. At this time, the Russian people have not yet left, and I heard that Zhang Shouzeng is negotiating with Wu Sa. If there is any disharmony, if we go to take over the land, wouldn't we offend Russia?" Huang Shifu heard it, and it made sense.
In a few days at most, things will become finalized, and it won’t be too late to take advantage.
Huang Shifu felt warm when he thought of the dozen sections of wasteland that the Russian people had reclaimed and the more than 10,000 acres of cultivated land that they had cultivated.
Getting rich
Huang Shifu hasn’t gotten rich yet.
Zhao Chuanxian is definitely getting rich.
Yao Jia went to Manzhouli to contact Manzhouli to purchase fire bricks, and also helped Zhao Chuanxin bring some snacks, which were prepared for Yao Bing.
"Remember, your master raised you by robbing Maozi." Yao Jia gave the snacks to Yao Bing.
He was not talking nonsense, the money Zhao Chuanxin gave him was stained with blood.
They were all collected from the intercepting road convoys.
Yao Bing seemed to understand, "When I grew up, I also robbed Maozi's money to buy snacks."
Yao Jia laughed and said, "You have some backbone. If all the children on the grassland think so, , it is not impossible to eliminate Maozi in the future."
Lugang Town treats Maozi and the little devil equally.
Both of these are not good things, and Maozi's evil deeds are even worse at this time.
As a native of Lugang Town, Yao Jia also hated Mao Zi deeply and wished that their country would be destroyed.
After dinner, Yao Bing asked, "Master, can I get snacks to share with my friends tomorrow?"
"Then it depends on you." Zhao Chuanxin said, "As a teacher, I can't I always buy snacks for you. If you give out more, you will eat less for a few days. If you give out less, you will eat more for a few days." When Yao Bing heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.
Should we divide it?
The corner of Zhao Chuanxin’s mouth rose.
It’s the same for everyone. There are always a few idiots who are friends who cannot be abandoned.
In the evening, Rebecca Levi gave Zhao Chuanxin a foot wash.
She had actually been tired all day, but she had to cleanse Zhao Chuanxin's face and trim his beard every morning, and wash his feet with water every night.
It was very hot in the room today, so she wore less clothes.
When you bend over, your chest is wide open.
Women in this era are not as particular as later generations. When you sweat, if there is a little light, your chest and neck will sparkle. You don't have the conditions to take a shower all the time, but this sweat makes people feel healthy and grounded, and can make people daydream.
Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said, "I feel like I'm about to turn into a zombie."
Rebecca Levi was surprised, "Why do you say that?"
p>
“Because I feel that part of my body has become stiff.”
Rebecca Levi didn’t understand “which part”
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and said, “Hurry up and go to bed Go ahead and pour the water myself later."
Rebecca Levi was baffled.
Yao Bing will sleep with her tonight, and she will wake him up at night to stop him from peeing on the bed.
Children’s urination needs to be controlled.
After finishing packing, Zhao Chuanxin lay down and suddenly felt that he had forgotten something.
There are no curtains, and the faint starlight outside shines through the window. From time to time, horses can be heard snoring, and there seems to be a smell of horse manure in the air.
If you often deal with cows and horses, your body will be contaminated with the smell of cows and horses.
The closer you are to the lower class society, the farther away you are from the metaphysical. The smell of cows and horses can bring people back to reality. However, the lower the people are, the more they need strong spiritual sustenance to make suffering simple, convincing and comforting.
Thinking of metaphysics, Zhao Chuanxin realized what he had overlooked.
Bayar's forehead.
Don’t the old guy live near Dalai Lake?
I told him before that when I had nothing to do, I would find him to live by the lake.
I didn’t expect that it would come true in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Chuanxin decided to take the time to look for him.
Take out the old divine code and open it.
There was no money to hire a guide, so a knowledgeable craftsman who had been to the Cursed Desert as a child became the guide.
A group of us set off.
After leaving Green Harbor, the desert is blown by the wind and its shape changes unpredictablely. There is no fixed road. One can only rely on one's memory of the shape of the dunes and the location of some vegetation to move forward according to the map.
Our first destination is the largest city in the desert, Rune City. The Desert Emperor lived there.
On the way, we once again saw the female monk hidden in her cloak, walking side by side with us. Only when the hot desert wind blows, can you faintly see the outline of her graceful figure in the long sleeves of her broad robe.
Since the death of his sweetheart and father, the craftsman has become less immature and persistent, and more transparent.
The craftsman said that whether it is an ugly gray butterfly, a beautiful white butterfly, or a mysterious black butterfly, their fate is just to flap their wings.
While he was talking, a caravan of Beetles chased him from behind. Behind the huge black armor, he was carrying goods and swinging forward in the desert. The speed seemed very slow, but it was much faster than a human.
The leader of the caravan said to us, friends, we can give you a ride. Are you a fearless pioneer from Middle Earth? I know people like you. Your courage has been sung and sung, and even spread across the ocean to our cursed desert. In return, you protect the caravan from sand pirates.
Perhaps this is the benefit of having a strong name, which can save you wasting your breath. Just like academic qualifications, it can be used as a stepping stone.
We are happyHe got on the back of the beetle and staggered forward, much faster than before, and soon caught up with the female monk in front of him.
The caravan leader wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and the leather lining of his flat-bottomed straw hat, and fanned his gauze jacket to remove sweat. He looked down at the female monk condescendingly, and suddenly said arrogantly, I recognize you, you are from the Red Island, you are a damn double-lidded Red Island barbarian, if you are not wandering in the evil sea of widows, why did you come to us to curse the desert? Haha, curse the desert society. Let you damn savages die of dehydration and go back to the Sea of Widows.
I heard a strong sense of exclusion and contempt from the caravan leader, and I couldn't help but look at the female monk trekking in the sea of sand with pity.
She still lowered her head, as if she hadn't heard anything.
We stayed until dark and stopped to rest.
Zhao Chuanxin closed the book.
Sleep deeply.
The third day.
Zhao Chuanxin gathered the army.
"Today we are going to drive away the Russian people, demarcate the boundaries, and redefine Obo, but you are afraid."
These prairie men, riding on horseback, are more powerful than the queue standing on the ground. Be tidy.
"Not afraid"
The loud voice made the horses stir slightly.
Hu Er hugged Yao Bing together.
Zhao Chuanxin planned to make this child familiar with horseback early, and fill his blood with a kind of "barbaric" blood, instead of being like other people who are all "little people thinking" and talk about the etiquette of a big country. , always passively resisting, always doing what his ancestors did.
My ancestors have a lot to do with you. They have neither inherited the fearlessness of Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty when he chased Hulu in the desert, nor the bravery of the Tang Dynasty when he looked down on the world. He still has the face to be like that of his ancestors. .
The earth trembled, and the riders moved out.
Zhang Shouzeng and Yao Jia both followed.
Zhang Shouzeng was not used to riding horses yet, his thighs were sore and his posture was weird, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
Yao Jia is much better. Anyone with some potential in Lugang Town can ride a horse.
Along the way, people from various departments joined the team from time to time. By the time they reached the Hailar River, the five-wing general manager had already gathered together.
In front of the Hailar River, Zhao Chuanxin reined in his horse, stood flexibly and solidly on the horse's back, took out his war bow and dynasty, and bent the bow to set an arrow.
When the dynasty is sounded, the arrows sound, and when the dynasty arrows fly, they sound.
Hundreds of riders focused their attention on Zhao Chuanxin who was standing on horseback. They saw Zhao Chuanxin bending his bow like a full moon, "Today I will sacrifice this person to the flag."
Everyone was speechless after hearing this. untie.
Woo
The heavy arrows were like meteors, shooting towards the other side in an arc with a sharp whistle.
"Ah"
A scream.
It turned out that there was a Russian hiding in the grass on the other side. He thought no one had discovered him and secretly peeped at the army. However, he was nailed to the ground by Zhao Chuanxin. Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website. Free reading without anti-theft
