Chapter 266 The Emperor's Stroke
Because of Han Tuozhou's words, Zhao Xing was a little hesitant.
It’s a crooked building! It’s obvious that Han Tuozhou is a crooked building! Zhao Ruyu feels that he has the responsibility to guide him back to the right track.
Zhao Ruyu looked at Zhao Yuchun. Although Zhao Yuchun was a "returnee", he could see that this person was an important leader in Zhu Xi's armored chariot project. Since he belonged to Zhu Xi's team, he should create opportunities to let this person speak and add points to Zhu Xi.
So Zhao Ruyu called Zhao Yuchun to speak.
As an extra who was temporarily brought to the crew, Zhao Yuchun felt nervous and excited. If he could show off his face, the treatment would be quite good. By the way, Lao Qiu didn't seem to have such treatment.
Zhao Yuchun knew his extras well and was still willing to be a foil. He had never thought about stealing the spotlight before. In fact, Zhao Yuchun was still quite nervous at this moment. Just kidding, it would be strange if he was not nervous at once!
This kid usually dares to take on the big things and just pat his chest, but now he is facing the emperor directly, and he is a little nervous:
"Report to the official family - Your Majesty, there are indeed several armored chariots - some things that need improvement. It is better to be more conservative in the first year. It is better to build 600 vehicles on a tentative basis."
Zhu Xi's bad gaze was immediately welcomed, but Zhao Yuchun really did not have the courage to deceive the emperor. As a farmer entrepreneur in his previous life, Zhao Yuchun was still a farmer after all. When the farmers reached the critical moment, their weakness was exposed.
Zhao Yuchun continued:
"It seems necessary to build iron-armored warships. That is, to build iron-armored warships, they must be transported from Taiwan to the mainland, landing crafts, that is, ships specially used to transport iron-armored warships across the sea, as a supporting set of iron-armored warships, they should be built--the few."
Zhao Yuchun was thinking of not offending him. In fact, he helped Zhu Xi. Han Tuozhou cut 500 with a knife, and he bargained on the spot to a 600-year-old man, defending the interests of Zhu Xi.
Zhao Yuchun didn't have the courage to offend Han Tuozhou. This person surnamed Han was a royal relative. The most important thing is that this person was a ruthless person. In history, he defeated Zhao Ruyu, Zhu Xi and Zhu Zi Taoism, which was the guy who killed people. We don't have to offend such a guy.
Therefore, Zhao Yuchun took a two-sided attitude of not being offended. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuchun's move not only did not make any difference, but also made Zhu Xi and Han Tuozhou feel that Zhao Yuchun is not very authentic.
However, Zhao Xing thought Zhao Yuchun was normal. The emperor had a good impression of Zhao Yuchun, especially when Zhao Xing understood the powerful combat power of the landing craft, Zhao Xing decided to reward Zhao Yuchun. Zhao Xing had a different perspective on "returnees" and it didn't matter if he was politically immature, it would be good to be loyal to the emperor, or to respect the emperor and fear him.
Okay, another landing craft appeared out of thin air. Zhao Xing was a little dizzy. There were so many tricks about "Ha Tang Haihui" but Zhao Xing liked it! The landing craft could be released at a beach and could be rolled over all the way. Can the Jin soldiers still survive on the coast of Shandong? Since the landing craft is so magical, this must be included.
But this is the case, I will not make a hasty decision today. However, Zhu Xi's project needs to be promoted quickly, so Zhao Xing immediately allocated 200,000 guan to the Geju Academy. At least Zhu Xi is not short of money and can work hard and get on the armored chariot quickly. Zhao Xing said that there is no need to worry about the subsequent money.
As for the entire military budget plate, because Zhao Xing received a lot of information, it was so much that it could not be digested. The old emperor needed time to slowly understand, digest, and then make decisions.
Zhao Sheng took a break from his busy schedule and took time to summon Chen Liang alone. Chen Liang had already drafted a note, the core of which was the "Special Zone Flowering Plan". In Chen's plan, the Kaohsiung Special Zone continued to exist, and three other special zones were established, one was the Xiayi Island Special Zone, the second was the Luzon Special Zone, and the third was the Krat.
After hearing Chen Liang's plan, Zhao Xing thought to himself that Chen Liang was just the Chief Executive of the Crattan District. In fact, Zhao Xing had already decided to set up a special zone on Xiayi Island and Luzon, but in the Isthmus of Krat, Zhao Xing felt that there were too many uncontrollable factors there. Chen Liang claimed that he could build a "New Silk Road" based on this, and it was just a good wish for the time being. The key is that Chen Liang in Zhao Xing's eyes was a bit arrogant and belonged to the unreliable type of people. Therefore, Zhao Xing just encouraged Chen Liang, and appointed him as the seventh-rank Chengyi Lang, and then sent Chen Liang away.
On this day, a shareholder meeting with historical significance in the history of the Song Dynasty was held in the Special Administrative Region. This was the first and last time the emperor attended the shareholder meeting in person, the Wugang Controlled Shareholders' Meeting. After this incident, no emperor visited the official shareholder meeting. The shareholder meeting was chaired by Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Xing personally attended the meeting, showing the highest level of the shareholder meeting.
The main topic of the shareholders' meeting is to review the capital increase, share expansion and listing plans proposed by Xin Qiji.
Xin Qiji was not disappointed in the end. Given that the demand for steel by armored chariots, armored warships and even landing crafts was very enthusiastic, the investment plan of the iron plant proposed by Xin Qiji was successfully passed. For this reason, Wumin Holdings' capital expanded to 2 million yuan of shares. In order to go public, it was converted into the "circle" of the special zone currency, which was always equal to the silver dollar, which was 20 million yuan. According to Zhao Sheng's intention, the Song Dynasty court needed to ensure a 51% stake, and the court invested ten more
20,000 yuan, the Song Dynasty court plus Taiwan Song Haimao shares was 10.2 million yuan, accounting for 51%, and Mao's Group shares were 1 million yuan, accounting for 5%, and publicly raised 8.8 million yuan of shares, with one yuan as one share, with a premium price of five yuan. If the fundraising is smooth, 44 million yuan, that is, 4.4 million yuan will be raised in the Special Administrative Region Securities. After the funds are raised, a Daye Iron Plant with an annual output of 100,000 tons of pig iron and 20,000 tons of steel will be established in Daye.
At this point, Xin Qiji's plan was achieved as expected. Although Mao Geng reminded at the meeting that it may take more than a year from construction to production, Xin Qiji said that we can start production while building. Mao Geng expected that this was the idea that He Chian had long given to Xin Qiji. In this regard, Zhao Ling was of course happy to see that the iron plant would be able to produce iron as soon as possible, and the iron and steel production capacity of the special zone was under the control of Mao Geng Special Zone. The steel industry involved in military industry and national economy and people's livelihood should still be controlled by the court. This is beyond doubt.
With Zhao Xing's high attention and the reputation of Wugang Holdings, Wugang Holdings released a share of 10 million yuan in targeted subscriptions in the Special Administrative Region. It was immediately subscribed by merchants in the Special Administrative Region. It is estimated that Lin'an's targeted subscriptions will be very enthusiastic at that time. There are only 14 million retail investors' subscribed shares in the plan. Time travelers have reason to feel optimistic. It is obvious that the 14 million retail investors subscribed shares are simply that there are many monks and few people. Retail investors in the Song Dynasty may also be like crazy about stock subscriptions in later generations, and they may also rob the head.
Seeing that Wugang Holdings is about to be successfully listed, Zhao Xing is also very excited and can easily make money in the stock market to carry out construction. Zhao Xing feels it is necessary to build a Lin'an Securities in Lin'an at that time.
The emperor was very happy, and Mao Geng benefited a little from this. Zhao Ling specially named Mao Geng the seventh rank of Chaosanlang, and Su Zhiyan also named the wife of the imperial decree, each with rewards.
On this day, Zhao Xing summoned Mao Geng to meet him alone.
The emperor wanted to listen to Mao Geng's opinions. In Zhao Xing's mind, armored warships, and landing crafts were naturally ranked first. However, armored warships and landing crafts seemed to be built in a batch. The emperor could not stop the arrangement for a while, so he had to listen to Mao Geng's opinions.
Mao Geng thought that it would be good to build 200 armored vehicles in the first year. In Mao Geng's eyes, the current prototype car is really a bit slack. For example, the transmission efficiency of the prototype car is very low. Logically, a 60-horsepower steam engine should be able to run a four-ton vehicle at a speed of more than 15 kilometers per hour, but in fact it can only run a speed of less than ten kilometers per hour. It can be seen that the transmission is slack. In addition, its reliability is really bad. Mao Geng thinks that if this thing is driven to the battlefield and the battle is over, it is really doubtful whether one of the ten vehicles will be left without breaking.
However, Mao Geng solemnly reminded Zhao Shen that in fact, if fifty armored chariots are invested at one time on the battlefield, the cavalry formation of the Jin soldiers will collapse. Therefore, two hundred armored chariots are enough to crush the Jin soldiers. It is better to build 600 bad chariots than to build 200 fine-quality chariots. Of course, Mao Geng cannot use the word "bad chariot". Who dares to say that Zhu Xi's version of the chariot is a bad chariot? I guess Zhu Xi will get angry.
When Zhao Xing heard this, he found that fifty vehicles could crush the Jin people's cavalry at a time. Well, 200 vehicles are still a little less, so I will set a batch of 300 vehicles. Zhao Xing was very kind and set the output of the first year's armored chariots at 300!
Zhao Xing has also seen the Type 59 tank video, but Mao Geng felt that the rotating turret may not be very practical at this stage. It is not necessary to use such a mysterious thing as a rotating turret when dealing with the Jin soldiers. However, Zhao Xing likes the rotating turret, so Mao Geng had to suggest building a prototype car first and then decide whether to build it after the prototype car is built.
Regarding iron-armored warships and landing crafts, Mao Geng felt that it was necessary to build landing crafts, and iron-armored warships were serious. Compared to building tanks, Mao Geng preferred to build more warships. Mao Geng suggested investing 3 million chunks of shipbuilding, including building ocean-going ships. Mao Geng believed that Zhao Yuchun underestimated the difficulty of manufacturing the landing crafts, and using cargo ships to transport warships was enough. There was no need to use landing crafts at this stage in the Song Dynasty. That kind of landing tactic is too "high-end".
Although military fan Zhao Xing really wanted the great tactics of landing craft in the Song Dynasty, Mao Geng said it really makes sense and everything had to be done step by step. Thinking of this, Zhao Xing felt relieved. Zhao Xing decided to return to Lin'an and let the prime ministers agree on a plan according to their own wishes and then implement it. Among them, Mao Geng's suggestions were to focus on it. The facts over the past two years proved that Mao Geng's work was carefully planned and trustworthy.
Zhao Xing visited the Special Administrative Region for twenty days, and finally it was time to leave.
On this day, the weather was sunny and the emperor was in a very good mood. When he boarded the ship and left the Special Administrative Region, Zhao Xing was thinking that maybe next year, he should find an opportunity to come and see it. Just say, the old gentleman Lu You was actually attracted by the Special Administrative Region and asked to stay for more days. Zhao Xing was happy and was sure to be sure. Zhao Xing saw Lu You's figure on the port shrinking, and then the fleet gradually drifted away.
Zhao Xing was very excited along the way. This trip was really rewarding. I imagined that I could recover the great rivers and mountains in my lifetime. Zhao Xing was in a little overjoyed. Seeing that he could return to Lin'an in one day, Zhao Xing suddenly walked onto the deck and looked into the distance, feeling a lot of emotion.
Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew up, and Zhao Xing suddenly fell to the sky. The guards hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but saw that Zhao Xing was not awake.
The guards helped Zhao Sheng to bed with all their strength. After the imperial physician arrived, Zhao Sheng was still stiff and unconscious. The imperial physician shook his head and said to Zhao Ruyu:
"The official family seems to have suffered a stroke, and we are helpless. Perhaps the Imperial Doctor Peng has another way to turn the world back, but unfortunately, the Imperial Doctor Peng stayed in the Special Administrative Region, what if he did."
