Chapter 19: Becoming an Official (Asking for Collections, Recommendations)


Lin Shenhe's companions also woke up one after another.

Of course, they didn't know that the reason why they slept for so long was deliberately arranged by Wen Desi, so as to explain why they were brought from Gansu to Sichuan.

In addition, Wen Desi also moved the crash site of their airship more than 800 kilometers southeast to a desert near Wuwei.

Anyway, they couldn't figure out the place at that time, as long as it was a desert.

No matter what, they were extremely grateful to Wen Desi and Xingke Company for saving their lives.

Their escape from Europe was an unexpected incident in itself, and they had no good place to go now, at least Lin Shenhe definitely had nowhere to go.

After seeing the construction scene of Xingke Company and getting to know a little bit about the company's situation, Wen Desi only showed a slight solicitation, and these people all agreed to work in Xingke.

Among the people at that time, this group of people could be regarded as social elites and high-level intellectuals.

Needless to say, Lin Shenhe is a humanoid seeder.

He attended the Royal Police College and the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, and is good at both police and military affairs.

He is also good at mechanics.

He is not only very good at playing with weapons such as guns, cars, and even new gadgets such as airships, but he can also design and manufacture them himself.

His baby sister Lin Shenxi didn't study that much, she just specialized in agriculture.

Several of Lin Shenhe's best friends are also overseas students in Europe.

One of them is Li Chiqi, who graduated from Berlin University and majored in steam engine and train manufacturing.

He is also good at cars.

He has a cousin named Zhang Yu who studies telegraphy and telecommunications.

These two brothers and sisters are also overseas Chinese in Thailand, and they have been best friends with Lin Shenhe since childhood.

The other one is Li Yifan, also a graduate of Saint-Cyr Military Academy, majoring in artillery.

There is another man named Wang Tengpeng, who graduated from the University of Hamburg in Germany, majoring in shipbuilding.

These two guys are both overseas Chinese from Nanyang.

The Italian horse kidnapped by Lin Shenhe is named Diana Del Piero, and the last girl named Lusiya Li are both graduates of the Venice Business School.

They are classmates and best friends.

I study finance.

The origin of this Lusiya is rather bizarre.

She is a mixed-race child whose Chinese name is Li Siya.

Her father is an overseas Chinese from Nanyang, but her mother is the illegitimate daughter of an Italian nobleman and is half Chinese.

At that time, Chinese people were very discriminated against in Europe and the United States.

Even though they were of mixed race, they were not recognized by their families.

When Lusiya was ten years old, his father died in a shipwreck.

Just after graduating from college last year, his mother also died of illness.

At this time, her mother's originally indifferent relatives came to her door and asked her to obey the family arrangement and get engaged to a certain young master from another family.

Lusiya is a very independent person, and of course she doesn’t want to be a marriage tool.

Fortunately, she got acquainted with Lin Shenhe's group last year through her best friend Dianna.

The girls hit it off immediately and had a very good relationship.

They even recognized Lin Yanei as their adopted brothers, especially Li Yifan and Wang Tengpeng, who made her even more popular.

When the goddess is pursuing.

So, she took the opportunity to hide in Germany.

When Lin Shenhe escaped, she also boarded the pirate ship.

The rest of Lin Shenhe's group quickly made arrangements, leaving only two beautiful ladies from Italy who could not make arrangements for the time being due to professional issues.

But Wen Desi didn't want to raise idle people, so he quickly thought of the use of the two of them.

So, Wen Desi asked: "Miss Diana and Miss Lusiya are both majoring in finance.

It just so happens that I am planning to open a bank now.

Are you willing to work in my bank?"

"There's no problem with the bank.

My family runs a bank.

I've been helping at home since I was a child."

Lusiya frowned and said, "But please call me by my Chinese name, Li Siya."

This mixed-race girl has both.

She has the advantages of the West, the tall figure and facial contours of the West, and the delicate skin and facial features of the East.

She is a very eye-catching beauty.

"Oh, bank?

Although I have never worked in a bank, I can give it a try."

Dianna and Lin Shenhe discussed in a low voice and agreed.

This Miss Diana is a typical Mediterranean beauty, with an angelic face and a devilish figure, much like a certain Italian supermodel of later generations.

This bank is not the bank in Tianjin that specializes in deceiving people, but a bank that Wen Desi suddenly planned to open in Sichuan.

After he learned about the two girls' majors, he suddenly thought that he was missing a financial institution.

Especially now that he had mastered the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Stock Leasing Bureau, he needed a bank to store and mobilize funds.

June 25, 1906, Whitehorse Industrial Zone, aircraft factory construction site.

Since the connection with Mr.

Xiliang, Xingke Company has become much more convenient and has purchased a lot of land nearby.

Now that most of the land in Baima Town has been purchased, the name has been changed to "Baima Industrial Zone".

This land did not cost much, and most of it was converted into shares of Weiyuan Steel Company.

In the west of this industrial zone, there is a newly designated construction site, which is the planned aircraft factory area.

Yes, Wen Desi had already planned this aircraft manufacturing plant.

It was originally to manufacture aircraft, and later added an airship project.

At first, he never thought about playing with airships at all, because he always felt that an airship must use helium to be considered an airship, and hydrogen is not safe.

But now it's very troublesome to get a lot of helium.

Not to mention China, except for the United States, the output of the entire world is ridiculously small.

The most important thing is that it is very inconvenient to transport, so he has no such plan.

But after personally experiencing the appalling traffic conditions in Sichuan, he had no choice but to focus on airships again.

The highway has just been built from the industrial zone to Neijiang County, not to mention the railway, which is not there yet.

As for the current airplane, it is a joke, no more than a toy.

Even if there is a golden thigh like the base, it will not be able to produce a qualified transport aircraft without several years of development.

Even if it is produced, the cost will be unbearable.

To solve the transportation problem in a short time, the only option left is airships.

However, this kind of thing does not exist in China.

The best players are France and Germany.

Wen Desi was about to send people to Europe to buy it, but unexpectedly he picked up a Lin Shenhe and came back.

After asking Lin Shenhe, an expert, he learned that although today's airships are far more mature than airplanes, they are still not officially operational.

There is no official manufacturer at all.

Today's airships are all built by fans themselves.

Not to mention the production conditions, which are not much better than those that manufacture airplanes.

So Mr.

Wen immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying an airship and prepared to build it himself.

The airship factory plan has been ranked higher, and the foundation is now being laid.

"Mr.

Wen, you are so good.

You have built an airship factory in one day, which is not even in Europe," Lin Shenhe said happily.

Wen Desi shook his head: "I have no other solution.

The road to Shu is difficult.

Do you have any objections after reading the drawings I gave you?"

Lin Shenhe said with admiration: "I've seen it, but I didn't expect Mr.

Wen to be so knowledgeable about airships.

Those drawings of yours are really great, much more advanced than the one I built before.

There are many more that I don't have You have considered the issues you have considered.”

Wen Desi smiled and said nothing.

Of course it's more advanced, it's an airship of the 21st century.

These sets of drawings are all airships designed by China in the 21st century.

Although this drawing has been modified to remove ultra-modern equipment such as satellite positioning, radar, and computers, even the overall structure is far more mature than the current airship.

The largest of them is a 30-ton rigid airship.

Compared with the Zeppelin airship, its appearance is stubby and flatter, like a squashed football.

The front cross-section is not circular, but horizontally oval, in order to reduce the impact of side winds on navigation.

It has double vertical tails, a pair of ventral fins below the vertical tail, and a pair of canards in front, which can greatly increase maneuverability.

Now this airship was named "Qingyun Type 1" by Wen Desi.

It is 110 meters long, 50 meters wide and 25 meters high.

The airbag volume is 95,000 cubic meters.

The pod is 25 meters long, 6 meters wide and 25 meters high. 4 meters, empty weight 52 tons, maximum load capacity 30 tons at an altitude of 2000 meters.

The cost of each ship is estimated to be 85,000 silver dollars.

In addition, there are several smaller airships, ranging from the smallest 1-ton class to the 20-ton class.

Wen Desi said: "Edison, this factory will be built in about two months.

I have already ordered production equipment from the United States and Europe.

It will be delivered to Shanghai in a month.

The factory is built and the equipment has almost arrived.

This The factory will be handed over to you from now on.

In addition to supervising the factory during this period, you also have to digest the drawings and formulate a reasonable process flow."

"I got it, Mr.

Wen, you can rest assured when I do things."

Lin Shenhe was very confident.

According to the plan, this place can be said to be the most advanced and largest airship manufacturing plant in the world.

Being able to be the leader here gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Wen Desi nodded, and then said gloomily: "Also, please restrain your playboy virtues.

I don't care how you played in Europe before, but if you are still the same as before in China, I don't mind.

I’ll send you to the Forbidden City to serve Lafayette.”

"Ah" Lin Shenhe tensed up after hearing this, and said quickly: "No, no, I will never do anything to my own people.

Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests.

I understand."

As soon as Wen Desi left the airship factory site, Gu Xiaolu sent a message.

"Mr.

Wen, the Governor of Sichuan has sent someone.

Please return to the headquarters office as soon as possible."

Gu Xiaolu paused and smiled: "Mr.

Wen, congratulations, you have been promoted."

Wen Desi said indifferently: "Oh, isn't it the one who has been approved as a candidate?

There are more candidates in the Qing court than dogs.

What's so strange about that?"

When he went to Chengdu last time, Xiliang's master, who had already been defeated by sugar-coated bombs, kindly reminded him: It is best to donate a substitute.

Although he is an "American", he is not afraid of trouble from those subordinate officials.

But in the current environment of serious xenophobia, it is more convenient to have a domestic official hat to do things, at least it will not be so hostile.

Wen Desi didn't care about this, since he didn't lack the money anyway, so he went to Xiliang to buy an alternate Taoist status.

When Xiliang saw that it was Wen De's successor, he gave him a preferential internal price.

He only charged 8,000 yuan, which was said to be half price.

"No, no, no, it's not just a substitute, it's a real shortage.

You'll know when you come," Gu Xiaolu said mysteriously.

"Oh" Wen Desi was a little curious, so he hurried back.

As soon as he entered the office, a middle-aged man stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr.

Wen, congratulations to Mr.

Wen" "Oh, it turns out to be Master Zhang.

What's the happy event?"

Wen Desi smiled and returned the greeting.

This master was the one who suggested him to buy an official position.

Even though he was just a master, the master who governed the Yamen in the Qing Dynasty did not have a formal official position, but he had great power and was more powerful than the average prefect.

Master Zhang smiled reservedly and handed a sandalwood box to Wen Desi: "Haha, Mr.

Wen, please look at this, this is the governor's appointment letter."

"Oh" Wen Desi quickly opened the box, took out the letter inside and looked at it, and was suddenly dumbfounded.

There are three documents in it, one is the appointment letter of the alternate, which is not unusual, but the other two are very important.

One is the appointment letter from the Sichuan League Training General Office, and the other is the appointment letter from the Prime Minister of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company Prospectus Bureau
