The group entered the living room of the government affairs hall. Only then could Liu Zhenming look at the pioneer of China Railway. Zhan Tianyou was not big, wearing a suit, a gentleman's hat, and a mustache. If there was no one behind him.
Braids, then he is almost no different from white-collar workers in later generations.
However, Liu Zhen knew that the braid behind Zhan Tianyou was also fake. Many of the people who came back from abroad had their braids cut in foreign countries. After returning, they had to get another fake one to connect.
Liu Zhenming did the same for convenience.
The Qing court turned a blind eye to this situation, like Yinchang from the Martial Arts School. Although he was a Manchu, he had been in the Dezhou for many years and had a braid and made a
The roots are fake, so the late Qing Dynasty was a very strange era. The oppression of the great powers forced the Qing court to make some changes.
When Liu Zhenming was looking at Zhan Tianyou, Zhan Tianyou was also observing him carefully. Zhan Tianyou wanted to see what was strange about this Liu Ziqian and dared to call China's first self-study railway to Chinese engineering personnel.
His eyes are sharp, making people dare not look at them, his face is rough, a little unkempt, and he looks a little unruly.
Anyway, he looks like a more complicated person.
After some soldiers sent Xiangming, Zhan Tianyou didn't care about that much. He didn't even have time to drink tea. He gave Liu Zhenming a gift with gratitude in his eyes. Although the railways built in the past were paid by the Chinese, the railways were
It also belongs to China, but it cannot be called a railway built by the Chinese, because the railways are contracted to foreign companies. The chief engineers are all foreigners, and the General Administration of Railways acts as assistants at best.
Now, Liu Zhenming said that from design to construction, he will be responsible for completing this railway, and this railway is the real Chinese railway.
Although this circular railway is not very long, everything has been from childhood to adulthood, from scratch to something. How could Zhan Tianyou not understand this truth?
"Brother Liu, I have seen it. This railway connects the three reclamation areas of your Black Soil Company. {Qingfengshou.日&}Along the way, you will inevitably have to pass through mountains and cliffs, and you must drill tunnels and build bridges. The difficulty of the project is to be carried out.
There must be a lot, to be honest, I, Zhan Tianyou, can't guarantee that I can complete it. I can only say that I will do my best to achieve this." Zhan Tianyou is not a sociable person. I started
I gave Liu Zhenming a vaccination.
However, his tone seemed both excited and a little uneasy. He was nervous because he said this and was afraid that Liu Zhenming would change his mind in the middle.
Liu Zhenming nodded without thinking and said softly: "I know all of these. This is the first case in China, and there is no other precedent to learn from."
Liu Zhenming looked at Zhan Tianyou who was sitting upright and listening with his ears in his mouth, and couldn't help but feel funny: Xiaoyang. He was acting very casually just now, but now when talking about railway affairs, he showed a nervous expression.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhenming deliberately said: "Several British and German companies have contacted me, and they all expressed their willingness to contract this project."
Zhan Tianyou's heart sank slightly, and Adam's apple couldn't help but move. Could something have changed again? Liu Ziqian, who seemed to be more yin, really wanted to change his mind.
If I had known this, I would not have said those difficult words.
Without waiting for Zhan Tianyou to react from his annoyance,
Liu Zhenming changed his tone, looked at him, and continued proudly: "But, I refused all of them. Now, these foreigners are all thinking about watching the fun, wanting to see us fail and then ask for help.
them."
In fact, there is no foreign company. Liu Zhenming just puts him some pressure. There is no pressure, where is there motivation?
However, if you really want to find foreigners, as long as you have money, those capitalists will not care whether your railway materials come from the Russians or from Ri himself.
Zhan Tianyou put down his throat and replied, "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will do my best to build this circular railway. Look, I found a detailed map from the capital and have been ready to set off long ago.
.”
After saying that, Zhan Tianyou was still afraid that Liu Zhenming would not believe it, so he hurriedly took out the map from his arms, which showed how urgent he was.
Liu Zhenming deliberately did not look at the map, shook his head and said, "It's not that I'd do my best to achieve it, but that I have to do my best to achieve it. This railway has poured too much effort into it."
Liu Zhenming whispered: "Do you know where these roads came from?"
"Where?" Unconsciously, Liu Zhenming had already controlled the atmosphere of the conversation, and Zhan Tianyou couldn't help but follow his words.
"There!" Liu Zhenming sneered and whispered: "Dongqing Railway."
"What, are you going to dig the Russians' tracks?" Zhan Tianyou couldn't help but open his eyes wide, looking disbelief.
"Of course! The Russians plunder our mineral resources madly and dig their rails. That's worthy of them." Liu Zhenming said lightly: "Mr. Zhan, you have to know that this railway is a tiger's food grabbing
It was snatched back from the Russians, and our Black Earth Company will invest all the funds. It can be said that every hurdle before the road was built is no less than every difficulty encountered when the road was built. The previous difficulties are now one by one.
I solved it, so I will leave all the difficulties in the future to you. If the railway fails, our black soil company will go bankrupt."
Zhan Tianyou suddenly felt much more stressed. This time, not only did he have his ideals, but also the fate of other companies and the fate of those people in the reclamation area. He couldn't help but say solemnly: "Brother Liu, who said we Chinese people."
If I can’t build the road by myself, even if I, Zhan Tianyou, work hard, let the foreigners see that the roads built by the Chinese are no worse than theirs.”
Liu Zhenming nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Don't be too stressed. First build railways in a smooth area. When you accumulate some experience and then overcome difficulties, I believe it will be much easier."
"This must be considered after surveillance of the terrain." Zhan Tianyou is cautious in his work and is not good at flattery. I believe that if others hear Liu Zhenming say this, they will definitely be true.
Liu Zhenming smiled disbelief. He was indeed a little bit like Guan Yu was playing with a big sword in front of him.
"Brother Liu, are you really going to rob the Russians? You know, his reclamation area is here, it is only one day away from Liaoyang." Zhan Tianyou stopped talking again, he was afraid that if Liu Zhenming died young
Then, the railway was ruined.
"Does Mr. Zhan think that the weapons in our reclamation area are all decorated?" Liu Zhenming stood up, looked outside with a deep face, and said in a deep voice: "Can't we make decisions on the Chinese territory?"
"This!" Zhan Tianyou finally realized that he had entered the bandit nest.
Liu Zhenming patted his shoulder and smiled faintly: "Mr. Zhan, please rest assured. If something happens, it has nothing to do with you. Just focus on building the road. As for the others, you will treat it as unaware of it."
Zhan Tianyou frowned unhappily and said, "Why is Zhan a person who is afraid of death? Since he wants to cooperate with Brother Liu, let us share everything."
Liu Zhenming glanced at him with praise. Later generations said that Zhan Tianyou was righteous all his life and loyal to the country. Now it seems that the rumors are not false.
However, when thinking about the solution proposed by Zhan Tianyou when the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway encountered difficulties in later generations, Liu Zhenming felt that it would be better to tell him these first, so as not to waste time thinking.
So Liu Zhenming sat down again, picked up the tea calmly, took a sip, and said softly: "Mr. Zhan, please investigate this railway as soon as possible. When I was abroad, I also built the railway.
I once heard of a method of digging railway tunnels. I don’t know whether it works or not. Now, an expert like Mr. Zhan is here, and I just happened to ask you.”
Seeing Liu Zhenming talking about the railway, Zhan Tianyou immediately became interested and asked: "Brother Liu, come on, it's always difficult to drill and dig railway tunnels. If you get a good solution, it will be very beneficial for future road construction."
Liu Zhenming held back his smile, and at the same time felt a little shameless in his heart. This method was clearly what Zhan Tianyou thought of. Maybe someone abroad had discovered it long ago, but he really learned it from him.
It seems that cramming exam-oriented education is still of some benefits.
Now I told him, but fortunately I didn't say that this method was what I thought of. There was no way, for the project progress was faster, so that was all I could do.
"This method is called the vertical shaft excavation method, which mainly solves the problem of excessive length of the tunnel. If the tunnel is long, this method can be adopted, and the construction is carried out in sections, and the chiseling can be made from both ends at the same time. At the same time, one or two large wells can be opened in the middle section of the mountain.
The well was also dug to both ends, which not only ensured the quality of the project, but also accelerated the progress of the project."
Liu Zhenming said it in a casual manner, making Zhan Tianyou's eyes brighter. When Liu Zhenming finished speaking, he almost stood up and clapped his hands and praised: "This method is so wonderful. Please introduce it to me as a guide.
A capable man.”
Liu Zhenming hurriedly called and said, "I accidentally heard people say that they are not sure who they are. There is also a large slope, a 'man' shaped line can be built, and automatic hooking can be used between each carriage.
.”
Liu Zhenming told all the limited knowledge of railway construction that he knew.
The more Zhan Tianyou listened, the more surprised it became. Although Liu Zhenming sometimes remembered or said it wrong, most of them were enlightened by him. Some railway terms that Liu Zhenming only knew nouns but did not know the specific meaning. Zhan Tianyou thought about it.
Think about it, and understand it.
Liu Zhenming finally said a dry mouth. He really couldn't imagine anything else, so Zhan Tianyou stopped asking with satisfaction.
"Brother Liu, there is a saying that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. I, Zhan Tianyou, only now can I agree with this sentence." Before Zhan Tianyou said goodbye, I had to say this sentence with great emotion.
