Chapter 760: The new secretary who knows how to deal with thunder
Huang Chengji only hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Huh?" Zhao Xin, who was looking down at the information, heard the difference in the other person's tone, raised his head and said, "You say it."
Huang Chengji showed Zhao Xin the two resumes in his hand and said: "Zhao Haishan has a good family background and his ability is obvious to all. It is too late for him to be able to enter the shogunate compared to Oubei Gong. It's just that this Wang Zhongqu..."
Zhao Xin fumbled the other person's words and couldn't help but frown slightly and asked: "What's wrong? I see on his resume that he has read a lot, learned the art of war, and is good at riding and shooting. What's the problem?"
The person who can serve as Zhao Xin's copy secretary, Tong Sheng will definitely have no chance. No matter in terms of knowledge level, experience, or social connections, he is far behind Xiucai. So the two people he just chose have both been Lin Gong students.
The former is called Zhao Tingjun, also named Haishan, from Changzhou, and is the fourth son of Zhao Yi; the latter is called Wang Tan, also named Zhongqu, from Xiushui, Zhejiang, and is Yuan Mei's proud disciple.
You must know that among the first batch of newly awarded civil servants, there were only fifty-two scholars with serious academic titles. Among them, there were only a few who were exiled to Ninggu Pagoda and had their titles revoked.
Old scholar, the others are either related to Yuan Mei or Zhao Yi. Zhao Xin should not favor one over the other. If you choose one, you will not offend both.
Regardless of the fact that these two people are the founders of the "Xingling Sect", one is the commander-in-chief and the other is the deputy-general, and the disciples are usually happy with each other; but if Zhao Xin really only favors one side, the disciples below are sure to be wary, and maybe there will be another incident.
Cause internal strife among factions.
Why did Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi dare to risk the disapproval of the world and make the decision to contact Beihai Town while Qianlong was still alive?
At the beginning, Wang Zhong and Hong Liangji wrote letters to many people, such as Bi Yuan, Wang Niansun, Qian Daxin, Lu Wenxu, Shao Jinhan, Sun Xingyan, and almost all the Confucian scholars in these years; after all, everyone's ancestors were
Gu Yanwu was either related to or related to each other. Some of these people were officials in the court, and some wrote books and theories at home. They were not pedantic people, but in the end only Yuan and Zhao responded.
This matter can be said to be complex, and it can be said to be simple. To put it bluntly, it is to gain the academic status it deserves for the "Xingling Sect", hoping to seize a place on the political and academic map of the new dynasty.
"Actually, I heard what others said..." Huang Chengji was not stupid enough. He chose himself out first, and then told Zhao Xin the gossip he "heard".
Wang Tan was fond of making friends when he was young. Among the people he made friends with were not only literati and poets, but also martial arts practitioners and monks. It is said that when he went north to study in the capital more than ten years ago, he met a man who was serving in the capital during the outing.
After translating Zhangjia Hutuktu from the Manchu version of the Tripitaka, the two chatted happily, so Lama Zhangjia taught Wang Tan a set of exercises to strengthen his body.
From then on, Wang Tan would practice it every day when he had nothing to do, and the effect of relaxing his muscles and rejuvenating his bones was very good. At that time, he did not know that his road to the imperial examination was ruined by this set of exercises.
.
In the eighth month of the lunar calendar in the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, Wang Tan took part in the Zhejiang Provincial Examination. The first four-book question, which was very difficult for others, was like chopping melons and vegetables. He finished it in just two and a half days because he didn't want to hand in the paper early.
I left a bad impression on the examiner, so I decided to find something to do to pass the time.
You must know that the dormitories in Gongyuan are separated into small rooms, with an area of just over one square meter. There is no room for movement at all, and apart from reporting to the toilet, you can't go out and wander around in the corridor. So Wang Tanjian
The patrolling soldiers were not around, so I just practiced the exercises with my hands.
I saw him holding Yuan Shouyi in his arms, silently reciting a mantra, and his true energy circulated. He soon entered a state of forgetfulness about things and myself, and became more and more energetic as he practiced. However, he forgot that this was in an examination room, and he was moving with the breath in his body.
Feeling more and more comfortable, he finally couldn't help but press his palms on the desk in front of him, and there was a bang, and the draft of the test paper and the pen and ink flew away, followed closely by the screams of the candidates next door on both sides.
The examiners and soldiers patrolling the field heard the sound and rushed over. They were shocked by the mess in front of them. An earthquake? I didn’t think so! Looking at the candidates in several dormitories, except for the one in the middle who looked calm, the other two sides
All had frightened faces.
When the examiner asked again, he saw Wang Tan bowing and saluting with a calm look on his face: "Wang Zhongqu, born late in Xiushui. Since I finished answering my questions and had nothing to do, I pressed my palms with Qi to activate my muscles and bones."
Okay, this guy is also a big-hearted person, so he doesn’t take it seriously!
In fact, as long as this kind of farce happens in the examination room, as long as it is not too outrageous, the examiner will usually not take it seriously; after all, those who can pass the provincial examination have many social connections behind them, and they can just talk about it.
superior.
The problem was that at that time, the Northern Navy was attacking Shandong, and its troops were heading directly towards the capital of Dengzhou. The Qing court was in turmoil, and people in the provinces south of the Yangtze River were also panicked. Because they were worried about the instability of the scholar class in the southern coastal provinces, any disturbance would be put on the line.
The chief and deputy examiners of the Zhejiang Provincial Examination that year were Jin Shisong, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Cao Zhenyong, the minister of the Hanlin Academy. Because the latter was implicated by Cao Peng, the "family member" of unknown origin, even Cao Wenqi, an old man who had retired and returned home, wanted to go to Beijing to give
Emperor Qianlong was not allowed to celebrate his birthday. Cao Zhenyong originally wanted to perform well through this provincial examination, but this ridiculous thing happened!
After discussing with Jin Shisong, he decided to depose Wang Tan, and then sent a memorial to the capital. More than 20 days later, Qianlong's instructions on the matter arrived: "The student Wang Tan, who can press the palm with Qi, is the so-called person with thunder in the palm of the barnyard official and unofficial history."
Yes, it is a kind of witchcraft. If you confuse the public with your heretical ways, you will never be employed! Please hand it over to Zhejiang Provincial Academic Affairs and local officials for strict control."
Wang Tan's dream of becoming an official was shattered. After returning to his hometown, he was ordered by the local magistrate to study behind closed doors at home, and he became the laughing stock of the scholar class. However, the common people said that Wang Xiucai could wield thunder in his palm, which was said to be miraculous.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even though Wang Tan can't go out, because of his reputation, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit him. The problem is that he has always hated socializing, so he hired people
A two-story building was built in the yard and was named "Yanxia Eternal Building". The most interesting thing is that this small building has no stairs. Wang Tan usually lives on the second floor and reads, and has three meals a day and tea.
The servant used a bamboo basket to hang it up.
Normally, if a guest comes to visit, Wang Tan will chat with him or her upstairs. If the conversation turns out to be interesting, he will jump down, pick up the guest, then turn around and jump up to the second floor to continue chatting. This is a first-time guest.
Often his face turns pale with fright at his actions; but if there is nothing to talk about, Wang Tan ignores them and does not chase them away, which often makes the guests downstairs very embarrassed.
The more Zhao Xin listened, the more funny he found it, and in the end he couldn't help laughing. Well, it's not just the thunder in the exam room, but he still played Qinggong when he got home! Is he still a scholar? It's all a martial arts novel.
"Okay, I've finished talking about the anecdotes. Let's bring him and Zhao Tingjun over at 1:30 in the afternoon."
It was a laugh, but the person still saw him. This was not just out of curiosity, but to give Yuan Mei face. Zhao Xin could actually guess what Huang Chengji was thinking. It was just that Wang Tan was a wild person and was very knowledgeable, so he was afraid that he would not be able to control him in the future.
"yes."
Huang Chengji saw that Zhao Xin was unmoved, so he had to leave angrily. As soon as he left, Chai Rugui came in.
"Report! Mr. Qian from the power plant is here. Would you like to meet him now or later?"
"Invite him in."
Not long after, a middle-aged man in his fifties knocked on the door and walked in. He was of medium build, slightly fat, with slight stubble on his chin, wearing a white baseball cap on his head and a
He was wearing a baggy gray jacket, a pair of casual pants, and a pair of frosted casual leather shoes.
"Mr. Zhao!"
"Here comes Old Qian, please sit down."
This is Qian Kang, the head of Beihai Town's power department after Wu An'an.
This person is from Liaoning, and he was previously the deputy director of the power generation operation department of a coal-fired power plant. In the first few years, the country introduced a coal power overcapacity reduction policy, and the few old pure coal-fired power units in his factory were not eligible for renovation.
, was included in the list of closures. Originally, managers like him would usually be diverted to operating power plants with better indicators, but Qian Kang didn't want to go. He felt that it was too far away from home and it wasn't enough trouble, so he took the compensation
Kim returned home.
Qian Kang has a hobby of stock trading for almost more than ten years, and he often hangs out in various stock exchange groups on the Internet. Unexpectedly, he accidentally encounters a pig killing market, and is manipulated by a group of scammers. Not only does he lose all his money, but also
I owe more than 800,000 yuan to relatives, friends and various platforms.
He and his wife wanted to sell their house to pay off their debts, but the old buildings in the Northeast could not be sold for much, tens of thousands of yuan. Zhao Xin called according to the information given by his cousin, but Qian Kang did not answer the call at all;
When he came to the house with the address, Qian Kang's door and the corridor wall were spray-painted with red letters, which made him very satisfied.
When the two met and talked for the first time, Qian Kang's first reaction was that the other party was a liar. He was already scared of being deceived at that time, and no one looked like a good person. Zhao Xin knew that no matter how much he explained a situation like this, it would be useless.
Get hard goods. After signing the contract, you will pay 50,000 yuan first, and then another 100,000 yuan when you get to the place. This is considered an advance salary and settlement allowance.
Facing the thick wad of banknotes that Zhao Xin took out, Qian and Kang carefully read the contract several times, and then found a law firm to pay someone to read it and said it was OK.
Only then did I confirm that the other party really wanted to treat me. What a good person!
However, when Qian Kang was brought to the 18th century by Zhao Xin using tried and tested methods, and he met several members of the power plant, he realized that killing pigs was a fool's errand, and that Zhao Xin was the biggest "liar" in the world!
While waiting to sign the trust agreement, Qian Kang suddenly made a request, asking his wife and son to come over.
Zhao Xin asked how you would explain it to relatives and friends?
Qian Kang said, to the outside world, we said that we had settled in Hainan. Anyway, many of our families had moved there, and some of them had not heard from us for several years.
After careful consideration, Zhao Xin finally agreed, but with the attitude of not letting the eagle in sight, he said that I can bring the person over, but the money to repay the debt cannot be given directly to you. You provide a list of debts and contact information, and I will do it.
solve.
In this way, Qian Kang's family of three reunited in the 18th century. In addition to cooking and serving the father and son at home, his wife spent other time watching TV series and watching TV series from another time and space. His son Qian Tao used to work in a real estate company.
I worked as an intermediary in sales, and after six months here I was sent to Anping Port to take charge of foreign trade affairs there.
Although Qian Kang moved his family here and joined the "29-member Committee" the year before last, he never interfered in other matters except electricity. If Zhao Xin raised his hand, he would raise his hand, and if Zhao Xin objected, he would remain silent. How should I say this?
They were all department leaders. He saw clearly that he and his wife might have to return to another time and space to retire in the future, but his son's career future was tied to Zhao Xin.
What? You said let him go back? Why go back? Continue to be a real estate agent? Don’t be ridiculous!
"Old Qian, what do you want from me?"
"Mr. Zhao, I know you are busy, so I will keep it short."
Although it was short, Qian Kang took out a small book from his pocket, turned to the middle page and glanced twice before continuing: "There is such a situation. Starting from May this year, Whale Town, Dolphin Port, Fuzhou
The electricity consumption in Erdan City and Khabarovsk has increased sharply, and the operating load of the power grid is about to be saturated. Our current total power generation capacity is only 180 megawatts. But now the electricity consumption in various places during the daytime peak period has reached 176 megawatts, and there are also 176 megawatts during the evening trough period.
130 megawatts. I asked Zhao Liang and Lao Chen carefully, and also had someone calculate it. Even if there are power cuts, the peak peak during the day can only be reduced to 170 megawatts."
Zhao Xin nodded, pushed the cigarette on the table to the other party, then lit one himself, and then said: "What suggestions do you have?"
Qian Kang puffed out smoke and said: "Two ways. Let me talk about the quick one first. Go to the container energy storage power station, which is a 40-foot-tall standard cabinet. It uses lithium batteries. It charges at the trough and discharges at the peak. Press
At 1.5 MW per cabinet, building an energy storage power station with 20 cabinets can basically meet the needs of the next three years. As for the price, I estimate it will be less than 35 million."
"However, the biggest problem with container energy storage cabinets is the battery. The cycle number of lithium iron phosphate battery is 2,500 times. It must be replaced when it expires, otherwise it will easily cause a fire. We charge it twice a day and discharge it twice. Basically,
They have to be replaced every 40 months."
Zhao Xin wrote down all the data Qian Kang mentioned on paper, and then asked: "What is the other way?"
"The other is to expand the capacity of thermal power plants. Installing two sets of 300-megawatt units at one time can fully meet the power supply for the next ten years. When the hydropower station on the Songhua River is installed and put into operation again, the outer Northeast will be enough. In this way
Needless to say, there are advantages to doing it, but the investment is a bit high.”
"How many?"
Qian Kang showed a sly smile and said: "5,000 yuan per kilowatt."
Zhao Xin didn't even need to do the math, he immediately had the answer in his mind. I'll kill him, three billion! I'm going to kill him!
