- "A few days ago, when you, the Governor, led your army to fight against the Indian tribes in the Great Plains, merchant ships from Manhattan came to our place. I heard from those merchants that a large iron tower is being built in Manhattan. , and Governor Zhang said that after these large iron towers are built, a new product can be developed that allows people to talk in the air."
Originally, when Wang Shan heard the news from Manhattan, he was not very interested.
But as the secretary spoke, Wang Shan¡¯s attention was suddenly attracted.
What?
The big iron tower!
After it is built, it can still allow people to talk in the air. Isn¡¯t this a bit nonsense?
People of this era could not understand what these large iron towers were used for, but Wang Shan immediately understood what the purpose of these iron towers built in Manhattan was.
Talking through the air is fine for deceiving the natives of this time and space, but it cannot deceive Wang Shan.
Because he knows very well the usefulness of those big iron towers.
But Wang Shan thought again and understood why Zhang Tie said this.
Thinking about it, even if you try to explain this kind of high-tech gadget to the natives of this time and space, they won¡¯t understand it. After all, the technology of unlimited communication contains a lot of knowledge.
With people¡¯s understanding of this time and space, it is still difficult to understand this.
So, using easy-to-understand terms is easier for people to understand.
If you want to use a bunch of academic terms and add a bunch of equations, these natives will probably be confused.
hey-hey!
The big iron tower!
This thing, isn¡¯t it just a wireless communication tower?
After Wang Shan understood it, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
¡°However, at the same time, he also felt the speed of Manhattan¡¯s development.
¡°Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Zhang Tie now has spare money to build a wireless signal tower in Manhattan.
I really don¡¯t know why this guy wants to do this thing. You know, it¡¯s very expensive.
And after he has come up with this thing, does he still want to engage in the communications industry in this era?
After the initial shock, Wang Shan suddenly thought of a series of questions that followed.
However, he felt that since Zhang Tie dared to do this, he must have his own ideas.
Furthermore, once the wireless signal tower is completed, it will also be of great benefit to the empire. Because that thing can bring people closer and can notify them of some important news in real time.
For Wang Shan, building a wireless signal tower in Manhattan has pros and cons.
But in the end, the pros outweigh the cons.
In other words, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"Oh, something like this actually happened in Manhattan. It seems that after we left Manhattan, a lot of things happened there that we don't know about."
Wang Shan deliberately showed a look of shock on his face, and at the same time he started talking nonsense.
¡°Actually, he didn¡¯t know what Manhattan was doing, but even if he knew, he still had to pretend not to know anything in front of this European clerk.
"Yes, sir. Since we left Manhattan, we don't know much about the situation there. If it weren't for a merchant ship that comes every two months, we wouldn't even know the news."
The secretary agreed.
"Sir, do you know what that tower is for? Why do those people say that after the tower is built, it will allow people to talk in the air?"
The European secretary was very curious about this.
When he first heard about this, he also asked the person who told him about it. But it's a pity that the guy who told him this didn't know much about it, and that person also heard what others said.
Of course, this matter is very credible.
The reason is very simple, because this news was officially released by Manhattan.
So, there is absolutely no way this thing is false.
"I don't know very well. If you ask me, I can't give you an answer. Because I don't know what the function of the iron tower is, so" Wang Shan spread his hands and made a helpless gesture. expression.
The phrase ¡®pretending to be confused while pretending to understand¡¯ refers to people like Wang Shan.
Actually, he didn¡¯t know that. He was very aware of the function of this tower.
However, when he was asked by the clerk, this guy just didn't want to answer.
Because once you answer it, the next thing will be ¡®a hundred thousand whys¡¯.
In order to avoid such trouble, Wang Shan wisely chose the method of ¡®I don¡¯t know either¡¯.
Sure enough, when Wang Shan said that he didn't know, the European secretary standing opposite had an obviously very disappointed expression on his face.
It can be seen that the secretary is very concerned about this matter.
"Well, you don't have to be so disappointed. When I contact Manhattan, we can also build this kind of iron tower in the spring of next year. By then, won't you be able to get an answer?"
Zhang Tie said to the secretary.
The secretary smiled: "Of course it would be nice if possible, but when we start next spring, the most important thing is not this, but the establishment of the city of San Francisco."
Wang Shan certainly knows that building San Francisco is the most important thing, and he doesn¡¯t need this secretary to remind him of this.
But Wang Shan got some inspiration from the construction of signal towers in Manhattan. That is, if a signal tower is also built here in San Francisco, and combined with the enclosed houses as village-level fortifications, then doesn't it mean that he can completely control San Francisco? Is this area?
The enclosure is a fortress on the outskirts of San Francisco in the future, a small village integrating living and farming. And when attacked, the enclosure will become a defensive facility.
The existence of the signal tower allows people in the fenced houses to effectively contact the city of San Francisco in the shortest time after being attacked, and then the city of San Francisco can calmly dispatch troops to assist.
You know, time is the most important thing.
By getting the news in the shortest possible time, you can avoid huge losses.
So, Wang Shan also wants to build this kind of large iron tower and use it in the military field.
Wang Shan and Zhang Tie had different ideas. He thought that after the signal tower was built, it could be used for military defense.
On the other hand, Zhang Tie in Manhattan, after building the signal tower, used it for brainwashing and did not consider military matters at all.
From this point, we can see that although Zhang Tie and Wang Shan are both cultivated genetic people, their personalities and vision are all different.
They are just like normal people, with independent thinking and thinking and behavior.
The secretary standing opposite Wangshan certainly had no idea what the governor in front of him was thinking about.
So the secretary said: "Because of the cold weather recently, although people have lived in yurts, the temperature is still very low. Therefore, it is inevitable that some patients with frostbite will appear. If possible, Lord Governor, it is best to solve this problem Just take a moment."
As a clerk, what he has to do is to record all unhandled matters one by one. Then remind his superiors from time to time and let him deal with the problems that arise.
Wang Shan has been leading troops outside for a month and a half.
After the war ended this time, he returned to San Francisco to build the camp, so as the secretary, it was necessary to report all important things to him.
In winter, patients with frostbite appear, which is not a trivial matter.
Although frostbite may not seem like a serious matter, if you are careless, frostbite can be fatal or even cause a person to become disabled.
Therefore, the secretary feels it is very important to treat this matter.
So, after a few things, he brought it up.
Yes, in his opinion, this matter needs to be dealt with and resolved immediately.
In his notebook, there are actually many things that need to be solved by Wang Shan, but he picked a few of the most important things and told Wang Shan.
Now, it¡¯s the frostbite issue.
"What, frostbite occurred? Is the problem serious? Are there many people?"
Wang Shan, who knew the seriousness of this matter, immediately became serious and asked after hearing what the secretary said.
"People who suffer from frostbite don't have very serious symptoms. They just have cracks on their fingers, cheeks and soles of the feet. However, even if they get medicines prescribed by military doctors, they don't have much relief and effect on relieving frostbite. And there is Most people with frostbiteAmong the vassal Indian tribes, the imperial soldiers and administrative officials who stayed behind, several people also showed such symptoms. "
Well, how could this happen?
Wang Shan couldn't help frowning and thinking.
There are yurts here, and a large number of cotton-padded clothes, trousers, shoes, and quilts are provided. Therefore, Wang Shan feels that such a thing should not happen during this winter.
Fortunately, the secretary said that the people who suffered from frostbite were basically vassal Indians. Only a few of the soldiers left behind by the empire and the administrative staff here suffered from frostbite.
So, this made Wang Shan feel relieved.
However, this matter should not be careless, he must solve this problem.
Especially the secretary also said that it seemed that the medical staff brought with the army prescribed medicine to treat frostbite, but it did not have much effect, which made Wang Shan feel a little confused.
Is it possible that the medicines purchased are fake and inferior products?
¡°After all, these potions were bought from Chen Zhenbang¡¯s brother-in-law, so you can¡¯t be too reassured about this guy¡¯s character.
Because all the products sold by Chen Zhenbang¡¯s brother-in-law are fake or knock-off products. After all, the cost of these quality products is not high, but there is a lot of profit in selling them as genuine products.
Wang Shan can no longer complain about this.
"Are those medicines ineffective? Why are they useless?" Wang Shan asked with a frown. "Besides, I'm curious as to why this happened. Didn't I provide enough cold-warming products? How could something like this happen again? Did you investigate it while I was away?"
Faced with Wang Shan¡¯s question, the secretary replied seriously: ¡°Sir, I have already asked someone to investigate this matter.¡±
When Wang Shan heard that his secretary had already investigated, he asked: "Since you have already investigated, tell me what is going on. I am very surprised. , we have provided items to keep out the cold, but how can they still get frostbite? This is unreasonable."
Wang Shan was very confused and confused about this.
He did everything he was supposed to do, but he still suffered from frostbite.
Wang Shan really doesn¡¯t know if there is anything he hasn¡¯t done yet, or if he has made some omissions.
Seeing the question, the secretary replied: "Sir, the situation is like this. After my subordinates got the news, they sent people to investigate and found out that those patients with frostbite appeared during this incident. In fact, the reason is also It's very simple, it's because the weather is too cold, which leads to this situation."
"We have provided them with a lot of warm and cold supplies, but these alone are not enough. Because the winter here is so cold, even if they live in the tents we provide, it is of no use. I I personally went to sit in their tent and it was really cold. So I have no doubt that you won¡¯t get frostbite living in a tent like that.¡±
"How is this possible!!" When he heard this, Wang Shan couldn't help but interrupt the secretary. At the same time, a very angry look appeared on Wang Shan's face.
If other Wang Shan would not be so angry, but it would still be cold while living in the tent (yurt) provided by the empire, this would be unacceptable to Wang Shan.
You know, when His Royal Highness spent the first severe winter in America, he lived in a yurt.
¡°And not only His Royal Highness has lived in yurts, but also Wang Shan, Zhang Tie from far away in Manhattan, and Song Hu from Ontario have all lived in yurts.
Because they have lived there, they know that the yurt is actually not cold at all. As long as you light the fire and keep it from going out, there will be no problem at all.
Now someone is telling him that the yurt is not warm. Isn¡¯t this nonsense?
"If it hadn't been warm, they and His Highness would have froze to death long ago.
"Speaking of that kind of tent, I have also lived in it, but it is not very cold as you said. I think you have made some mistake?"
Wang Shan looked at the secretary with an unkind expression.
However, the European secretary was not frightened by Wang Shan. Instead, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty the Governor, after I had people see this, I went to experience it myself, so I absolutely There is nothing wrong with it. If you don't believe it, I can take you to experience it, and then you will know whether what I said is right or wrong."
Wang Shan became a little tangled in his heart as he watched the secretary swear to himself.
Where is the problem?
Logically speaking, if you live in a yurt, this situation will not happen at all?
So, something must be wrong.
Frostbite occurs in winter, which is a problem that must be taken seriously.
Therefore, Wang Shan decided to follow what the secretary said and go and have a look. (To be continued.
