Chapter 317 The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility

The virtuous cycle and vicious cycle of a group come from the overall environment. No official is corrupt, and corruption that is open and honest, as well as severely punishing corruption and corruption secretly, are all influenced by the environment.

So in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, if you are not greedy, you will not be able to integrate into that circle. Because everyone is greedy, but if you are not greedy, are you going to mess with us?

In the Royal Army, if you don't praise Chongzhen and set an example, you won't be able to get up.

If you go up there, you will easily be reported by someone on the secret line, and then be investigated. In such an environment, the atmosphere of the Royal Army is very strong.

After Hu Erniu and Zhang Cheng walked down the steps, their stomachs felt much better and they began to rush towards the camp headquarters, where the daily noon broadcast was about to begin.

[This is the Ming Dynasty Royal Broadcasting Station. This is the Ming Dynasty Royal Broadcasting Station. At one o'clock today, His Majesty the Great Emperor Chongzhen will visit our station in person to tell you about the recent news in Zhili. 】

As soon as I sat down on the pony at the camp headquarters, the radio sounded on time with a strong sound of beating chicken blood.

"Hu Ying, Your Majesty is going to speak today!"

"Great, hurry up and get people ready to remember. Your Majesty's words must be delivered to the soldiers who are holding their posts and cannot come to listen."

Hu Erniu and others were so happy because Chongzhen's speeches were not delivered every day. Chongzhen's speeches had begun to deliberately maintain rhythm and distance.

[It is now the capital time of the Ming Dynasty, noon, 12:40. Today is the 26th day of the seventh month in the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the solar term is the end of summer.

As the summer heat in the valley gradually turns yellow, beware of strong winds. The Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty must remember that once the summer heat is over and the autumn harvest comes, we must pay attention to the living conditions of the people.

When the autumn harvest comes, it is the time of year when people plant crops. If any corrupt officials dare to collect taxes this year, they will be severely punished.

If the people's harvest this year is not good, they must report it in time. We must ensure that where the Royal Army is present, the people will not go hungry.

Next, our station will broadcast the weather forecast for Beizhili, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Liaodong and other provinces. The morning glow will not go out, but the sunset will travel thousands of miles. Our weather forecast has certain errors.

The weather in Shuntianfu tomorrow will turn from sunny to cloudy, with no rain.

Tomorrow's weather in Hejian Prefecture will be sunny, light wind, no rain...]

[After the broadcast, our great Emperor Chongzhen will speak for the hard-working people of the world, for the brave and fearless Royal Army, and for the millions of living beings in the Ming Dynasty.]

"All of you! Face the capital and salute!"

"Long live the great Ming Emperor! The most loyal soldier of the Royal Army, XX, salutes you!"

Amid the uniform shouts, two minutes passed before Chongzhen's voice rang out.

【My people, my brave warriors, I...】

Chongzhen does not give a speech once a day. Such a speech will cause fatigue. He now limits his speech to once every ten days, and will give advance notice before the speech.

The content of the speech was also divided into main lines. He was very busy. What happened in various places in the Ming Dynasty and what the Royal Army needed to do. He was very distressed when he received it. He had ordered a certain official to take responsibility and let everyone in the broadcast coverage area listen.

Some useful stuff.

After the speech, Hu Erniu ordered the battalion staff to disband and continue training, and Zhang Cheng followed him back to the battalion command center.

"Report to the battalion commander! I have received the second-level mobilization order signed by His Majesty, as well as the emergency assembly order from the regiment headquarters."

"Bring it to me right away."

Zhang Cheng's expression turned serious, and he quickly took it over to check, and then handed it to Hu Erniu who was beside him and was eager to know.

"Support the disaster relief and epidemic prevention work in Datong Prefecture? Strange, I remember that brothers from Bao'an Prefecture have already gone to Datong Prefecture?"

"It's probably because the epidemic on both sides has become serious. Look at the command trends on the telegram. Baoding Prefecture sent an entire regiment to support Taiyuan.

The original defense work in Baoding was taken over by the reserve conscripts and two battalions sent by Guangping Prefecture to ensure that it would not occur.

And we are only sending two battalions, that is, our first and second battalions will go to Datong, and the third battalion will continue to take charge of the remaining work.

It just so happens that His Majesty has been saying in recent broadcasts that our epidemic prevention and relief work in Beizhili has been done very well, but there are too few brothers in Shanxi and we really need support.

Taiyuan is so big that it supports an entire regiment, while Datong is smaller and supports two battalions. This is normal."

"Okay, then notify the logistics department to prepare for the distribution of marching rations. The signal corps will immediately notify the entire first battalion to take over the handover work and then gather back to the camp and set off for Xuanfu tomorrow morning."

Hu Erniu did not continue to ponder and notified the communications squad. By the afternoon, the first and second battalions had handed over the work and had already lined up back to their respective battalion headquarters. The battalion-level commanders also came to the regiment headquarters on motorcycles.

After the regiment commander and the regiment chief of staff jointly issued the support task, all battalion and company commanders had no doubts and saluted and carried out the task, and the company command headquarters also received corresponding news.

So by nightfall, the Royal Army soldiers had already packed four days of marching food, sleeping bags for the road, and corresponding company-level communication radio stations.

These radio stations will soon be eliminated and turned into wireless phones. With the satellite launch that will be carried out in a few days, provincial radio reception reflection enhancement places will be established on the ground. Although there will not be the 2G network speed of later generations, it will remain

The call is no longer a problem.

The next morning, Chongzhen Company came over via special line. After telling the soldiers how glorious their mission was, how well they did in Beizhili, and how much the people of Shanxi needed them, they formally lined up and left the camp.

"Long live your Majesty! It is the duty of the Royal Army to complete this great and glorious mission."

"We are His Majesty's soldiers. We will fight wherever His Majesty directs us!"

"Vigorous and high-spirited... get ready, rise!"

"Vigorous and high-spirited..."

The enthusiastic soldiers, carrying large and small bags on their backs, and the cooking squad continued to push the tricycles that were 'airdropped' last night, and officially set foot on the direction to Datong Prefecture.

At this time, Chen Ye was still in modern time and space, sitting in the office and drinking tea leisurely.

"Boss, the order for the cement plant has been initially placed. The business department has invited bids for many domestic cement plants based on your needs.

Finally yesterday, three cement companies, Conch, Shangxin and Huafeng, were selected for supply.

The ex-factory price of 425 standard roadbed cement is 340 per ton, and the bidding price is 360 per ton. The bidding price of 525 anti-sulfur special cement is 490 per ton, not counting transportation fees and our own business tax.

The three factories combined will deliver 600,000 tons of 425 and 400,000 tons of 525 per month for half a year.

The first batch is being packed and prepared, and it is expected that 30,000 tons of 425 and 20,000 tons of 525 will be officially delivered in one day. The initial deposit of 500 million yuan has been paid to the central bank's regulatory account."

"Three hundred and fifty thousand tons per month should be enough."

Chen Ye took the order. He was not worried about the purchase quantity. He looked at the company's financial totals and found that more than half a year had passed. The company's turnover exceeded 30 billion. Chongzhen's money from selling gold was now less than 1 billion.

"Ask them if they want limestone. I remember that limestone seems to be more than 30 tons per ton now, right? There is also coal. Coal is also needed to produce cement, and coal is more expensive.

Ask them if they accept raw materials. If they do, they will ship them for free from overseas to the seaport. Their factories in coastal cities can just accept them."

"Ah? Okay, I'll write this down.

I just said in the group that the current price of limestone ranges from 15 to 60 yuan depending on the quality, and the price is not necessarily certain.

The same goes for coal mines, which can range from more than 600 to several thousand, depending on the purity and the impurities contained."

While Su Qing was recording in her notebook, she asked in the industry group on her mobile phone and got the price list instantly.

Chen Ye's order was also based on cost considerations. You can't keep buying everything. There must be some exchange and development in the future.

Liaoyang, as well as dozens of coal mines and iron mines in Shengjing, Beizhili, Shanxi, and Henan will have so many people in the future that we can't just build roads.

Opening a mining plant was the original setting, which not only provided work for everyone, but also saved costs. Judging from the environment of the Ming Dynasty, you could make money by digging out a ton of limestone, because the real transportation problem was perfectly solved by the system.

Anyway, the lime from the cement plant needs to be bought, and the coal for burning the lime also needs to be bought. It doesn’t matter who he buys.

Although the cement factory also has a subsidiary lime factory, buying what Chen Ye provides can still bring in profits. As long as it does not affect the original development model, the cement factory will definitely agree, so that the subsequent cement can basically be kept free of charge.

"Boss, are there any other arrangements?"

"Well, I'm going to the capital tomorrow. You book two tickets. I have to be busy with some special business. By the way, you can contact me about the Chinese medicinal materials there."

"OK."

After Su Qing nodded, she turned around and went out with the things she had agreed upon. Chen Ye looked at the Red Alert OL on the computer who had been pushed to the base, and was a little crazy.

"I could get through it easily before, but why can't I get through it now? Something went wrong."

While mumbling to himself, his cell phone rang, and the specific ringtone from his mother instantly made Chen Ye feel nervous.

"Hey, Mom."

"Chen Ye! What's going on with the breakup in your circle of friends? How can you throw away such a good girl just because you just want to?"

"Um, Mom, don't worry. Isn't it normal to break up after a relationship? We broke up peacefully."

"You are already almost thirty, and you will be forty in a few years. Look around you, are you the only one who hasn't gotten married yet..."

Chen Ye couldn't help but put his phone aside, and then waited silently for a minute. Sure enough, he arrived at the "You Hear No" link.

"Yes, Mom, I heard it."

"Then when will you decide? Don't you like ancient culture? You are also the new alternate president of the Chinese Culture Association. Hey, I check your company's Douyin every day, and your abilities are getting better and better.

As a president of the Han Culture Association and a bachelor, do you think you are worthy of the ancient culture? As the old saying goes, the worst of unfilial piety is to have no descendants, and it goes..."

The phone continued to be released, and Chen Ye had already taken out his other hand and started searching.

"My mother is forcing me to get married and is using my interests to force me to get married. What should I do?"

This phone call finally came to an end with Chen Ye's promise that he had made countless times but never fulfilled. Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then your dad and I will come to Shencheng next month to take a look at the house you bought and the house book, and give you a Feng Shui look."

"Okay, okay, Mom, now that you and Dad have decided on the time to come, I'll send a car to pick you up. Don't worry about the Feng Shui of the house. There are some high-end communities that don't pay attention to Feng Shui."

"That's not a trivial matter. It seems like you don't plan to go back to your hometown in the future. The big city is so nice, but I have forgotten about my mother.

Mom recently saw that you were studying ancient culture, so she also started to study the Book of Changes. Don’t tell me it’s true..."

For half an hour, Chen Ye felt that he was more tired than he had been working non-stop for a whole month. Mother's love was too heavy, and the mother's love that urged her to get married was as heavy as a mountain.

Su Qing, who had been waiting outside the glass door for a long time, saw that Chen Ye had finished making the phone call, then opened the door and came in.

"Boss, the tickets have been booked. We have contacted the airport security at 6:30 tomorrow morning. You can just take the bus in tomorrow morning."
