The arrival of the fleet heralded the approaching Chinese New Year's Eve.

The current officers and soldiers of the Liang Jiajun are all natives of Guangdong, and most of them are near Guangzhou, and the round-trip distance is not far; Therefore, after discussing with Liang Haowen, Master Liang decided that half of the people would have a holiday before the year, and half of them would take a vacation after the New Year, and the holidays would be ten days. This kind of vacation arrangement not only shows humanity, but also is very fair and reasonable, and everyone has no opinion.

However, every officer and soldier signed a confidentiality agreement, and they were not allowed to disclose any information about Liang Jiajun to the outside world, including their own family members, and violators would be punished by military law.

Master Liang also signed employment agreements with 226 British naval instructors, stipulating the duties and authority of British instructors; Give them a base pay twice as much as they would have been paid in the British Navy; In addition to the basic salary, there is also a very flexible assessment reward, after each instructor has completed one year of work, according to their work performance in the year for assessment, all those who abide by military discipline, competent work will be given a one-time bonus of not less than half of the basic annual salary, excellent performance can enjoy a bonus of not less than the basic annual salary, in addition to the three consecutive years of excellent performance in addition to the heavy award, will also be awarded the position of officer of the Chinese fleet. Of course, the Chinese side has the right to immediately dismiss British instructors who violate military discipline and perform poorly, but can compensate them for one to three months' basic salary at its discretion.

This employment agreement was decided by Young Master Liang after thinking about it for a long time, first of all, this fleet could not be controlled by British instructors; The flexible salary system is to mobilize their enthusiasm for work and hope that they will serve Liang Jiajun wholeheartedly; If there are instructors who love this fleet and serve the Liang family army wholeheartedly, regardless of nationality and race, then a promotion channel can also be reserved for them; On the contrary, those who are incompetent must be fired, and they cannot let a rat poop spoil a pot of porridge.

At this time, Westerners, including the British, began to advocate the contract system, so these British instructors saw that such employment agreements were completely acceptable; Because in this way, their treatment is also guaranteed; As for the observance of military discipline, it is the first duty of every soldier, and they are certainly no exception; They saw the merit as a reward for hard work, a system that was fairer and more reasonable than the Royal Navy of the British Empire, and they welcomed it, because they came to the Far East to work hard and earn money.

After the employment agreement was signed, the uncle and nephew of Master Liang returned to Guangzhou with 226 British instructors for the Chinese New Year, and the rest of the British were taken to Guangzhou by Robin, where they would take a boat back to the UK.

Young Master Liang and the sworn elder brother are in the same boat, and there are some things he still needs to communicate with Luo Bin.

"Big brother, I went back to Guangzhou last month to take a look, the development zone is a prosperous scene, fully met our original vision, you, the chairman of the board of directors, have made a great contribution", Master Liang first sent a high hat, he knew that this sworn brother would eat this set.

Luo Bin's face really showed a little smug when he heard this: "Oh, this development zone was still proposed by your brother, I didn't expect it to form a scale so quickly, to be honest, if it wasn't for the success of the development zone, I, the baron, might not be able to get it, Ronnie, do you know?" What I admire most about you is that you think ahead and succeed in everything you design."

it! This British's EQ has improved? Have you learned to give top hats? Young Master Liang thought to himself, could it be that he became a British nobleman, and it was really different? Hehe!

"So I suggest that you expand the size of the development zone and lease the small valley island to the west; With such a large Chinese population and a large market, there will be more and more goods needed, and more factories can be opened; In addition, China has a vast land and abundant resources, and all kinds of minerals are everywhere, so we can build an industrial chain of prospecting, mining, smelting and manufacturing; Only by investing in the development of these heavy industries can we really make a lot of money."

"You're right, we want to build the Guangzhou Development Zone into China's industrial center, I am now the Consul General of Guangzhou of the British Empire, and I need to make more achievements", the so-called ass decides the head, and the position must seek its own government, and now Robin is in a high position and has a much broader vision.

"The last time I went back to Guangzhou, I suggested that a shipping academy should be opened in the development zone; This time, I am going to open a polytechnic university in Guangzhou, and I have already recruited 30 European science and engineering teachers, and if there is still a shortage of teachers in the future, I will ask my eldest brother to come forward to help me recruit some teachers from the UK."

Luo Binleng was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about such a lofty thing as running a university through education, and he had never been exposed to such things, after all, he used to be a naval captain, and now he is a lieutenant colonel, and he is a martial artist. But if the brother asks for it, he will definitely help, and now that he is a nobleman, and has entered the circle of the British government, this little thing can still be done.

"Brother, I'm really not familiar with this aspect, but I think it shouldn't be too difficult, as long as they are given a high salary, people will definitely be able to recruit, and the education in the British Empire is very developed."

"Big brother, in fact, you should also come forward to set up a university; If you become the director or chairman of the board of trustees of a university, then you are a real celebrity, so you can also be worthy of your aristocratic status; In addition, cultivate some practical talents, so that we can invest in factories and enterprises can also recruit human resources from the local area, after all, the local labor cost is much lower than that of recruiting from Europe" Young Master Liang had to fool Luo Bin in, because he found that this sworn brother was full of momentum, and now he has more energy, and it will be much easier to do things with him.

Robin's eyes lit up when he heard this, this brother is making ideas for me again, the last time I listened to him, I am now a nobleman; If I can become a trustee of a university, it will indeed make my aristocratic status worthy of the name, so that I will no longer be just a businessman or an official, but also a respectable celebrity, which will definitely be very beneficial to my career (Robin has now become an official fan).

"Brother, your words are always so forward-looking, it seems that I must run this university; It's just that you have already set up a ship and shipping college and a university of technology, if I do it again, what kind of university will I run? ”

"Well, the British Empire has a very developed educational industry, and many subjects are world-leading; For example, law, architecture, civil engineering, chemistry, accounting, foreign trade and business and even railway engineering, etc., there are many disciplines that can be done, and it is more convenient for you to recruit teachers from the UK for these disciplines, and when the time comes, you will choose a louder name for this university, such as the University of Victoria, named after Her Majesty the Queen, what do you think? "Young Master Liang will carry out the fooling business to the end.

"Oh, wonderful! Robin happily took the sworn brother's hand, "Her Majesty would be very happy to know that I named a university after her."

It seems that Queen Victoria is very popular in England.
