"The opening of a steel plant and a cement plant in Qiongzhou is run by Han'er himself, and the opening of a steel plant must have the approval of the government, and the help of Han'er's teacher, Zeng Guofan, can only do this, you must remember not to publicize it to the outside world, and if a customer asks about it, just say that it is imported steel from the West" Mr. Liang helped his grandson explain in a timely manner, the Qiongzhou base is a matter of confidentiality, and Mr. Liang knows that it is not appropriate to say more now.

Han'er's vision is very accurate, the telegraph company he proposed is now all over the country, the textile company he co-founded with foreigners, since the shipyard was put into operation, business is very good, and the Guangzhou Development Zone he founded with Western countries has created a precedent for the Qing Dynasty, and now the Guangzhou Development Zone is prosperous; These projects have earned a lot of profits for Tianbaoxing, and also laid the foundation of our Liang family, our Liang family is no longer a simple business home, we must take the road of business, industry, and financial multi-faceted development, so as to go further and more stable. Old man Liang continued to praise his grandson's ability and contributions, but he still didn't know that this grandson had decided to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time pushed the Liang family to the cusp.

The old man praised him in such a high-profile manner, and Young Master Liang should stand up and say a few words; It's just that there are many people in the ancestral hall, although they are all members of the Liang family, they don't dare to guarantee that they won't leak secrets; Therefore, Young Master Liang could not talk about the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty at all; "Grandpa, two uncles, uncles, now the world will develop faster and faster, more than a hundred years ago, Europe began the industrial revolution, the rapid development of science and technology will make the world change with each passing day; The reason why our Qing Dynasty lost two opium wars with foreigners was because we lost in science and technology; More than 20,000 British and French troops were able to wipe out 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, and let foreigners enter the city of Beijing, looting the emperor's Old Summer Palace and setting it on fire; Such a shame and humiliation was suffered by the imperial court, and the land was ceded to the foreigners, and the original two indemnities were also apportioned by our Liang family, I believe everyone will not forget it so soon. “

"But if we continue to live our lives behind closed doors in this way, and continue to develop so tepidly, the Great Qing Kingdom, which has been opened by foreigners, will sooner or later become fat in the eyes of Western countries, and they can come and take a bite at any time, believing that the third and fourth wars will come soon; Therefore, only by developing science and technology, developing industry, and keeping up with the level of scientific and technological development of Western countries, can our own factories also be able to build foreign guns and cannons, and can also build Western warships, can our country avoid being bullied by foreigners, and can our industrial and commercial families like the Liang family develop for a long time."

"In the past year, I persuaded my grandfather and uncles to invest in factories and schools; It is advisable to look at the scenery for a long time, which will benefit the country and yourself for a long time, but there are too many messy things in this Qing Dynasty, there are too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and how many of those big people in the court are for the sake of the country and the people? In order to prevent our Liang family from becoming a fat sheep in the eyes of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, my fifth uncle and I trained a group of armed forces to deter the younger generations as a guarantee for our Liang family; In addition, in the officialdom, he also found a big man like Zeng Guofan as a backer; So in the future, our Liang family can let go of development, vigorously invest in the establishment of factories and industries, our country is so big, the population is so large, the market is endless, if we do not seize the market, it will be seized by foreigners, this silver is not to let foreigners earn away, it is better for us to earn it ourselves."

Young Master Liang's tirade made the Liang family who listened to him speak for the first time dumbfounded, especially the two clan elders, this Liang Jingde has read the Four Books and Five Classics all his life, and he can't say such a reason, and he has to admit that what this junior said is reasonable, especially this kind of overall situation is not something that ordinary people can do at all, and the title of the legendary magical boy in Guangzhou City is really not for nothing.

Young Master Liang's own father was of course proud of his son for being so good, although he was sitting upright in his seat, the smugness on his face could not be hidden. Liang Laoliu, who was next to him, also said: "Han'er's words, I raise my hands in favor, just looking at this Guangzhou Development Zone, I feel energetic, this row of factories, that machines, so many foreign technicians are working in it, we have so many workers learning technology from them; The development zone has also set up so many schools and trained many skilled craftsmen; After my foreign nephew comes back this time, the development zone will be expanded by two times, and I think that in three to five years, Guangzhou will surpass Shanghai and become the first in the Qing Dynasty."

Liang Laoliu's words are obviously to praise his nephew Liang Sihan, and secretly he is singing praises for himself, Guangzhou Tianbaoxing has achieved leapfrog development after he took over, and he naturally will not forget to say goodbye to his third brother.

Young Master Liang listened to it funny below, and Liang Jingde, who was sitting at the top, suddenly asked, "Sixth, how can you have a foreign nephew?" “

"Third uncle, that foreign nephew is Han'er's sworn brother, an Englishman, isn't that my foreign nephew?" Liang Lao Liu explained with a smile, and everyone in the ancestral hall laughed along.

Liang Jingde said seriously: "Nonsense! Han'er, how can you bow down to foreigners! You must know that if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, this British is not a good thing, and besides, if you have a sworn to him, do you want to go to our family tree, do you still have to record the name of a foreigner on the family tree of our Liang family? ”

Young Master Liang had to get up and explain: "Third uncle, my swearing with that Englishman is just a way of communicating, so that he can help me more attentively, of course, you don't have to follow our rules with foreigners, this is not the kind of formal worship (I don't know if Luo Bin will be sad when he hears it)." ”

Liang Jingde still wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say for a while, who made this matter the only one in ancient and modern China and abroad, he was full of poetry and books, and he had never seen it; Liang Jingyi, who was next to him, pulled him and said: "The etiquette of this foreigner is different from our Chinese etiquette, what is the truth of you?" ”

Old man Liang also said: "The current foreigners are very different from the foreigners before the Opium War, people rely on the strong national strength, relying on the battleship cannons, and they are arrogant and arrogant, even I don't want to deal with them; Therefore, it is still possible to use some means appropriately, and the key is to get our things done."

Liang Jingde gave up. Young Master Liang could only shake his head silently, I don't know how many nerds like the third uncle of the Qing Dynasty are, when the time comes, he will raise the flag against the Qing Dynasty, maybe the third uncle will also stand on the side of the Qing court to criticize him.
