The governor of the yamen and his party, but the governor of Yuan did not let me go back and forth. With an edict, my official body was promoted by one level, and two more hats were added: "The regimental training and inspection of the three prefectures in the east and west of the mountains of the Great Qing Dynasty, the title of chief of the Yamen Engineering Department and the director of the South Gate Military Camp, and the special envoy for the sorting out of the official barracks in Shandong", theoretically I can manage all the regimental training in the three prefectures of Jinan Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, and Wuding Mansion, all the affairs of the state-owned industrial and mining enterprises in the province, and all the affairs of the military engineering of the South Gate Military Camp, which is equivalent to the executive deputy minister of the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department and the director of the region (deputy department level), He also serves as the director of the Engineering Department of the Shandong Provincial Department of Construction (deputy department level), the first and second party of the South Gate Barracks of the extra-large national defense construction project, and also serves as the director of the Shandong Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (department level), the secretary of the Party committee, and the leader of the leading group for the restructuring of state-owned enterprises. Before going to bed at night, I think about the dragon in my head, count my titles, if I change to the next generation, there will be three full-time positions above the deputy department level alone, and there is also a large military region and a large barracks project in hand, and I won't change it for a vice governor. If we can't book a single room in Qincheng Prison before we leave office, it will be extremely extravagant and wasteful, and it will be an extreme contempt for the party and the people to give such a fat squeaky post.

But who knows, yesterday the three adults who were excited for half a night in the blueprint without Teacher Cang actually told me that the Qing Dynasty allocated 200,000 taels of treasury silver that was not in good condition, which was regarded as all the entanglements for the right army of Wuwei to pull out their feet from the capital as soon as possible and settle down in the mountains and countryside in Shandong. According to Brother Zhang Shaoxuan, just the seven or eight thousand people on the road plus the people of the people eat horses and chew, they have to go in 80,000 taels, and leave enough for three months to chew and wrap, leaving me to build barracks, buy tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, mosquito nets, bedding The silver does not exceed 70,000 taels, pay attention, the 70,000 taels that finally came to my hands are just the number before the deduction of three folds and five folds, and the last thing that can be used can exceed 50,000 taels is considered to be the capital The gate of the yamen gave Yuan Xiangcheng a big face. I had just wanted to say that I would remove those auditoriums, teaching buildings and other costly projects, but I didn't know that three people and six red eyes looked at my hands, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to write the word "demolition" on it. In the praise of His Majesty the future Emperor Hongxian, the Prime Minister, and the first-class loyal and brave princes, I finally found that my sycophant kung fu was really ashamed of myself, so I patted my chest in a trance and made a guarantee, if I couldn't let Lord Yuan eat moon cakes in the newly built military camp on August 15, it would be considered that I had violated the military order, and I would admit the punishment. Fortunately, I came to my senses and immediately came to the errand of rectifying the state-run enterprises in Shandong, guaranteeing that within a year, the light weapons and ammunition of the Wuwei Right Army would not need to be purchased, and the price would be calculated at half the price of the foreign bank, and after two years, the cannon could be made by itself, and the price would not exceed the price of the foreign bank. As long as the above two points are guaranteed, the government-run enterprises will be handed over to me to manage, and in addition to paying regular taxes every year, the governor's yamen and below will no longer interfere. From my point of view, there is a compensation, but Yuan Shikai has thrown off the burden, and by the way, he is expected to solve the problem of the source of ordnance, so he has a special approval of my "ice cube theory". The sun is scorching, and if you don't have an ice cellar, if you don't sell the ice as soon as possible, you can only melt it, so at this time, it is not the supply and demand relationship that determines the price, but how to reduce the sunk cost. Finally, Mr. Yuan generously allowed our Jinan Chamber of Commerce to implement the tax package system, if we can ensure that the annual commercial tax of Jinan Prefecture increases by 5%, then the members of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce will no longer directly pay all commercial taxes to the government in the future, but will be partially assessed by the Chamber of Commerce. More than a year later, when Boss Yuan left Shandong to take up Beiyang, he could never have imagined that if there was no last seemingly clever tax system, the commercial tax he collected from Jinan Mansion would be able to provide him with the construction of the three towns of Beiyang twice.

In any case, the Chamber of Commerce originally agreed to honor the army of 50,000 taels of silver, and now it happened that Yuan Datou owed me a huge favor, and Yuan Datou, who felt indebted, waved his hand, and this labor and military expenses that had never met at all became the start-up capital for the construction of the South Gate Barracks, plus the 50,000 pounds I received from Alfred at the bottom, the South Gate Barracks and the supporting Guzhen Cement Plant and Wangsheren Town Steel Mill were quickly built.

With the invitation of the Montagu family and Brother Miao, they searched in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Nanyang, and the talent supply was barely supplied. Du Niang and from Shanghai, Nanyang, the country of the country hired a dozen teachers plus a few local young people who returned from the United States in the party to build a "standard technical school", Jinan here literacy rate is quite high, but save a lot of things, the first batch of 140 two knife technicians have basic theoretical knowledge, can go to my various enterprises part-time work and study, the second batch of the blessing of the Chamber of Commerce, the three relatives and six relatives of each trader plus the family and friends of the hometown, actually made me into more than 400 people, From the half-grown son of twelve or thirteen to the young man of twenty-five or sixteen, there are still old and young people with gray hair and chrysanthemums. In line with the principle of wide entry and strict exit, if these people fail to pass the ladder examination at that time, they will not be wasted if they are brushed down, and it is better to be a clerk of the Chamber of Commerce and a factory worker than to be illiterate in a basket of big characters. In addition, the enrollment of students from the society, tuition and miscellaneous fees are all free, food and accommodation are only paid two taels of silver a year, and work-study, strive for scholarships, and the most unfortunate are to sell themselves to study (don't think crookedly, it is to sign an apprenticeship deed, and work for the enterprise of the Chamber of Commerce for five years to repay the debt), and in the end, the enrollment reached the scale of nearly 1,000 people, and it had to be divided into two sessions according to the literacy level. This is the reason why the 400 students of the second session of the standard technical school and the more than 750 students of the third session (who were added one after another) were enrolled at the same time.

Among the first batch of students, Meng Luochuan and I, Second Brother Miao, and I grinded our teeth countless times before we won 10 young people who were good at mathematics to serve in the insurance corps. However, they soon enjoyed life in the barracks, especially when the three Napoleonic guns at their disposal were proud of the infantry, which made them ecstatic. In addition to the two martyrs who died on the battlefield, the others have also become leaders in various industries, such as Lieutenant General Huang Zhengming, the first wing-level commander of the bomber wing of the Royal Air Force, Lieutenant General Wei Yuanlie, the second director of the Armament Department, and Xue Gang, the first general secretary of the National Academy of Sciences. These ten future bigwigs are looking at their instructor Duan Zhiquan with a worried face on the map to mark and calculate the shooting curve of the camp gun, although Lao Duan has a dead face, but in his heart he is still very satisfied with these recruits of the insurance regiment, especially the ten bean sprouts that look weak and naïve, they are all good soldiers. There may be some of them in their own artillery team who are skilled in artillery and are not afraid of death, but there is such a big gap between them and the insurance regiment in terms of orders and prohibitions and being good at using their brains. What surprised Lao Duan the most was the three Napoleonic cannons in front of him, although they were varieties from thirty years ago, but looking at this transformed Napoleonic cannon, Duan Tong, who knew everything about land artillery in the world, didn't recognize it at once. Whoever changed the breech-loaded gun to the rear door vertical bolt, who added a parallel aid to the barrel, who changed the gun carriage to a Y-shaped open foot type with a hoe, and the tires were replaced with solid rubber iron wheels, it can be said that except for the barrel of the gun, this gun and the Napoleonic gun probably have no half-cent relationship, and even the shells are new pointed flowering shells.

Zheng Rucheng and Li Chun taught the left and right detachments respectively, Lao Wei and Du Zicheng just followed behind to study, and in the evening Zheng and Li returned to live in Jinan's pavilion, Wei Keren and Du Zicheng had to be teachers to teach the team leaders at night. The ten bean sprouts I selected and more than 30 strong men were sent to the depths of Lashan, Duan Zhiquan was also happy to see the hunting, such an obedient and studious artilleryman, coupled with my system improved to four different Napoleonic guns, so that Lao Duan couldn't put it down, simply moved into the artillery training ground in the depths of Lashan, ate and lived in three newly built large tile houses, and was stunned for a month and a half to teach three squads of skilled artillery. When I remembered them from the South Gate construction site, the Daguanyuan construction site, the insurance regiment training camp, and the spider man life of the standard factory, when I went to Lashan to visit Boss Duan, they were practicing live ammunition, randomly selecting points, and the error of the first non-visual shot was no more than 50 meters, and the second shot was already within 10 meters of damage after five seconds. Hehe, as soon as Lao Tzu's team opened, there were already more than 40 artillery pieces and three cannons, which was more than many small warlords in the Republic of China. Zheng Rucheng had some errands, and soon left the insurance group on the grounds of returning to Beijing to deal with camp affairs, but Li Chun, who was more snobbish, collapsed and worked for three and a half months, but what surprised me even more was that Lao Yuan sent to replace Zheng Rucheng was actually the boss of the three heroes of Beiyang - Wang Shizhen, the engineering battalion manager.

Wang Shizhen's first impression of my team was neat, far from the appearance of the rich man in the countryside as he imagined, nor was it a mountain king with a stone lock or something like a horizontal face, on the contrary, it was more like a miniature version of the right army of Wuwei. The costumes are uniform, the guns are new, the maintenance is proper, the soldiers have no vegetables, the limbs are strong, the officers are as young as the soldiers, all the project officers complete the demonstration before the soldiers are on, there are no roles such as officers and soldiers. In the canteen at noon, Lao Wei and Lao Du and I lined up like soldiers, and there was not one more spoonful of shredded meat on the plate, and Wang Shizhen also took the initiative to line up behind me, and there was no habit of Li Chun and Zheng Rucheng that they needed to send food to the office to eat. The camp meeting before the morning exercise, the class meeting after dinner, the unified nap at noon, and the literacy and math class at one hour in the evening. All the freshness came to his face, which made Wang Shizhen deeply feel that this young boss was unusual.
