Wang Hengyue and Old Man Chen talked for more than two hours!
Wang Hengyue was amazed when he heard that these methods of the ancients were so sophisticated. The measurement methods were exactly the same as those of his own time.
Although some methods sound primitive, they are the best choice in the most helpless situation. They are actually doing good things for the people and saving their lives! Compared with what some people did in my own time,
I don’t know how much better it would be to do something that just shouts slogans!
After hearing what Old Chen had said about Ku Zhi, Wang Hengyue had someone seal him a couple of silver coins, and then respectfully sent him out in person. As soon as he came back, he immediately loudly ordered: "Take those water steles and measure them."
Get me the water method, water report, and sheep report.
In particular, we recruit brave men who can swim to serve as Yang Bao, and the salary will be three times that of the army commander! If something happens, the pension will also be three times the amount!"
"Hengshuai, isn't it within our control?" Wang Qinglu asked.
Wang Hengyue was silent for a moment: "Tell the governors everywhere that it was me who said it. Heavy rains will cause disasters in the next few months. Please make preparations in advance."
Wang Qinglu sighed softly: "I'm afraid they won't listen to us!" "It's their business to listen or not, but we must give warning in time." At this point, Wang Hengyue stopped talking. It's a pity.
The only thing is that his power is only in the southern Sichuan area. If the entire Sichuan is under his control, perhaps the losses can be minimized.
Wang Hengyue has always wanted to be a small warlord, seek maximum benefits, and slowly develop himself before seeking Sichuan. But this incident made Wang Hengyue's heart burn with a fire, and he suddenly realized that he was so eager to get the entire Sichuan province as soon as possible.
1"……
"Heavy rain? Who does Wang Hengyue think he is? A god? Or like Zhuge Liang?" Liu Cunhou sneered disdainfully: "Pretending to be gods and ghosts, fooling the villagers, only the ignorant will be fooled." "Exactly, exactly." Chief of Staff Gao Deguang
He smiled and said: "I'm afraid Wang Hengyue is so sick that he really thinks of himself as a god. He can predict what will happen in a few months. But he is much better now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get him back from Luzhou."
"
Liu Cunhou said coldly: "Do you think Luzhou really belongs to Wang Hengyue?"
"What do you mean by guard envoy?" "Chief of staff." Liu Cunhou patted his chief of staff on the shoulder: "That belongs to Hu Jingyi. Hu Jingyi used Luzhou to monitor Wang Hengyue and ours."
Gao Deguang thought for a while: "Guardian Gao Jian, guard Gao Jian!"
As he said something, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, a new Chongqing Hotel has opened in Chongqing. It's very grand." "Oh? Have you paid all the dues?"
"I've handed them all over, but I don't know if it's true or not. It's said that the Chongqing Hotel has something to do with Wang Hengyue. I sent someone to check, but they couldn't find anything." "Really? With Wang Hengyue."
Maybe it has something to do with it?" Liu Cunhou thought for a while: "Let's go and have a look!" Almost everyone in Chongqing knows that a magnificent Chongqing hotel has opened. It was very lively on the opening day, with lion dances and other things.
Many foreigners also came to congratulate me.
Who is behind this Chongqing Hotel? Everyone is talking about it, and they can talk about anything.
A group of soldiers ran over, their guns loaded with ammunition, and people nearby hurriedly got out of the way.
Then two horses came over slowly, and Liu Cunhou pointed with his whip: "Is this it?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Let's go and have a look. Chongqing Grand Hotel has a very impressive name." Liu Cunhou got off his horse and said.
Ma Bian hurriedly opened the way, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he shouted: "Where is the manager? Someone who can breathe will come out! Didn't you fucking see the guardian envoy coming?"
There were several foreigners sitting in the lobby. Ma Bian's roar made them all raise their heads and look dissatisfied. Liu Cunhou was shocked and did not expect that there were so many foreigners here!
"Your Majesty, the Guardian Envoy, is here. Some are not welcome at all, and some are not welcomed at a distance!" As he spoke, an imposing young man wearing elegant Western clothes came over.
Liu Cunhou looked at him: "Are you the person in charge?"
"Yes, it's Wang Huihai, surnamed Wang, who just came back from the United States."
"Again, his surname is Wang? He also came back from the United States?" Liu Cunhou asked suspiciously, "What is your relationship with Wang Hengyue?"
"Who?" Wang Huihai was stunned for a moment before he seemed to realize: "Are you talking about Wang Hengyue, the governor of southern Sichuan? I have nothing to do with him at all."
Liu Cunhou didn't believe it when he heard that Wang Hengyue came back from the United States. Anyone who came from the United States must be related to Wang Hengyue.
I'm afraid only this Chongqing garrison could come up with this logic.
Liu Cunhou snorted: "Check!"
"This" Wang Huihai said hurriedly: "Sir, I have all the procedures in place. Besides, there are customers in the store now. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient if I disturb the customers. Come here, bring me a thousand taels of silver mulberry...,
"No need!" Liu Cunhou waved his hand: "Liu, as the envoy of Chongqing, has a heavy responsibility and does not dare to relax a little. Now the chaos is rampant, or they are hiding here, check it out!" "Why do we need to check it? It's all here.
Qualified." came a voice.
Liu Cunhou looked over there and saw a foreigner with a tall nose and deep eyes coming downstairs. Wang Huihai hurriedly introduced: "Sir, this is my partner, Mr. Martin."
Martin came over and looked very dissatisfied: "Our procedures are up to standard. You have no reason to check. You have alarmed our guests. Please leave immediately, otherwise I will tell the consulate. The consul is a good friend of mine. I
I will lodge the most solemn protest with your government!" Liu Cunhou was startled when he heard that a foreign partner had appeared and that he was going to alert the consulate. He was originally a dragon, and his face changed at that time.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Martin, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Since it was an American, there must be no problem. Let's go, let's go!" He said with a smile of apology and retreated with his soldiers.
Wang Huihai and Martin looked at each other and smiled. Martin suddenly said very seriously: "Boss, I am a good friend of Pete. Now that I am employed here, our salary has not been negotiated yet." "Salary? It's easy to say, easy to say, how much does Peter get?"
How much salary should I pay you?" "But Pete said that his boss always relies on his salary, so I think we should sign a formal contract first."
"Ah, haha, haha, that's right." Wang Huihai nodded repeatedly and suddenly said: "Look at how nice the weather is today. By the way, Martin, how old are you? What other family members do you have in the United States?" "I'm twenty-six.
"Martin answered. Suddenly he thought about the salary again. Before he could speak, Wang Huihai had already hugged him and said as he walked out: "Martin, Chongqing is a lot of fun. Come on, I'll show you around.
go"
"How unreasonable, how unreasonable, that they would use foreigners to oppress me!"
Returning to his garrison, Liu Cunhou became furious and cursed as he walked.
"Guardian, you are back. Someone has been waiting for you for a long time." "Who? Damn it, gone, gone!"
"The arrow man is Wu Xiangzhen, the commander of the 4th Beiyang Brigade." "What? Wu Xiangzhen is here?" Liu Cunhou was shocked. He hurriedly adjusted his military uniform and hurried in. He saw Wu Xiangzhen standing there admiring the wall.
A painting on.
"Brigadier Wu, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming so I could send someone to greet you?" Liu Cunhou greeted him enthusiastically.
Wu Xiangzhen cupped his hands and said: "I don't dare to work to guard the envoy." Liu Cunhou asked him to sit down and asked someone to serve tea: "I have long heard that Brigadier Wu is going to have a son. I have been looking forward to it day and night."
Wu Xiangzhen smiled slightly and was polite.
Liu Cunhou was extremely nervous. Ever since he heard that the Beiyang Army was going to enter Sichuan, he had been in panic all day long. He was looking forward to not coming to Chongqing. Who would have thought that the more he was afraid of something, the more likely it would happen.
"Brothers have been ordered to be stationed in Chongqing, so let's first see where we can garrison troops." Wu Xiangzhen said with a smile: "We still need to rely on the garrison envoy."
Liu Cunhou swallowed hard and said, "Easy to say, easy to say."
"There's one more thing. Brother, let's talk to the envoy first. The envoy has also made preparations in advance." Wu Xiangzhen said unhurriedly: "The chaotic parties in various places have been gradually calmed down. The national funds are tight and we really can't support them.
So many troops were raised, so various places wanted to reduce the number of troops. The 4th Division was a hero in countering the rebellion, and we hope to set an example this time."
"This!" Liu Cunhou was shocked, was Yuan Shikai really going to do it to him?
There he said with pleading: "Commander Wu, could you please tell the president that although the rebels have calmed down, the situation in Sichuan is still unstable. As for the military expenditures, it is up to Liu to resolve it himself."
"How do I have the qualifications to see the president? I'm just conveying the message." Wu Xiangzhen stood up with a smile, his face suddenly darkened: "If there is another situation in Sichuan, we will naturally come from Beiyang to calm it down. Why should the guardian envoy keep such a
How many troops?"
"Here……"
"The reorganization must be completed within a month." Wu Xiangzhen's voice raised slightly: "The 4th Division will be reduced to 5,000 men, and will continue to be reduced according to changes in the situation!"
Liu Cunhou sat there slumped, his face pale.
Cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey! Yuan Shikai has already taken action, I'm afraid the situation is not as simple as reducing military humiliation! Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai!
Wu Xiangzhen walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "By the way, Lord Guardian, I heard that you went to Chongqing Hotel today? Brother, I want to discuss something with you. The hotel brother also has some shares, and also
