At the Sanya Naval School, six representatives of the British Navy instructors, and the only six naval captains among these instructors, came to Master Liang's office.

"Gentlemen, you have done a good job, the training of the navy has made great progress" Young Master Liang first approached the British: "But I don't think this is enough, we should let the young men of the navy try the real battle."

"Commander, although these lads are making rapid progress, their training time is too short, and if they are allowed to go to war now, they will definitely suffer great losses and will lead to the defeat of the war", Captain Haydn, the chief of education, hurriedly spoke to stop them.

Young Master Liang's face was full of anxiety: "But I received a task to ask our navy to participate in a battle, this is a military order!" ”

Instructor Robert was also anxious: "Your Excellency, Commander, you can't let these novices rush into battle, that is to let them go to death."

"No, no, gentlemen, you think of the enemy too terrible, they are not the navy of your British Empire, but the navy of some small countries in the Far East, their navy is still very backward, not even a single ironclad battleship, do you need to be afraid of such a weak chicken?"

Oh, the instructors breathed a sigh of relief, but Haydn continued to object: "Commander, although the enemy is not strong, the war is not child's play, and these boys cannot win."

Young Master Liang hurriedly threw out the bait: "Isn't there still you instructors, you are real warriors, of course, this is not within the scope of your work, you can refuse, but if you are willing to participate in the war, I will pay you an additional commission, the commission is 50,000 taels of silver, if you win, the commission will be doubled, and the specific distribution of this commission is decided by the six of you."

The room fell silent for a moment, and the six Britons were all thinking about it; 100,000 taels of silver, this is a large amount, they, the junior officers of the British Navy, have never seen so much silver, nor have they handled such a large amount of money, and now they have the right to distribute such a large amount of silver, it is really not suitable for it!

Six people, you look at me, I look at you, they make eye contact with each other, and they are silently calculating in their hearts, 100,000 divided by 226, it's really fucking hard to calculate, after a long time, it is finally estimated that each person can get more than four hundred taels of silver, this number makes them feel very satisfied, and some people are thinking, since this commission is distributed by the six of them, then the six of them can definitely take more, who would think that they take more?

After a long while, a tacit smile appeared on the faces of the six Britons, and it was Haydn who agreed to the deal: "Your Excellency, Commander, we agree to participate in this battle, and in order to ensure victory, all British instructors must participate in the battle."

"No problem, not only all of you instructors will participate in the battle, but all the cadets will also participate in the battle, just to give them a taste of the real battle, I believe this is more effective than classroom education and peacetime training."

OK！ Everyone's happy!

After getting these British instructors, Young Master Liang can rest assured that he can transfer troops.

Soon, batch after batch of army soldiers were transported to the Yilan base on the island of Taiwan, and a boatload of supplies was also transported to Yilan, and weapons and equipment, especially heavy cannons and shells, were loaded onto the transport ship.

Although those rookies in the staff office have already had experience in a war, they are not professional staff officers after all, and they can only rely on their poor experience and limited intelligence to formulate a crude battle plan.

But our young master Liang left these things behind, left Sanya for Guangzhou, and continued to fool around with his sworn brother.

The envisaged naval shipbuilding plant lacked personnel and equipment, and he had to do these things. Now in Guangzhou, there is already a French shipyard, a Chinese, German and American joint venture shipyard, and now the world's best shipbuilding technology is still in the United Kingdom, so this time he is ready to find the British to cooperate, while Robin, the British upstart, is a popular spicy chicken, no matter how to play his due value.

"Dear Robin, now you are a true celebrity, a respectable gentleman, worthy of your status as a baron of the British Empire!" As soon as we met, Young Master Liang flew out one high hat after another, which made our Baron Mr. laugh when he heard it.

It has to be said that Robin is indeed a very capable and very hardworking man, and he now holds countless positions: Consul General of the British Empire in Guangzhou, Manager of Swire & Co. Guangzhou, Chairman of Guangzhou Development Zone, First Board Member of Victoria University in Guangzhou······ Anyway, all the political, business, and academic circles in Guangzhou regarded him as a guest, and a large number of people surrounded him everywhere he went, and newspapers in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and other places even reported on him twice in three days······

The Guangzhou Development Zone has been expanded twice, the money-making effect has allowed more capital to participate, more talents to join, and the number of foreigners in Guangzhou has reached an unprecedented peak, and Guangzhou's prosperity has been better than before.

Young Master Liang successively built Guangzhou Medical College and Guangzhou University of Technology, Guangzhou Shipbuilding College and Guangzhou Victoria University in Guangzhou Development Zone, and several technical schools in the Development Zone.

Although the Qing government did not establish any schools, Guangzhou has always been the most open region in China, and the Cantonese people have not been repugnant of these foreign things.

Guangzhou's current prosperity is also incomparable to the past, the former prosperity is because Guangzhou is China's only foreign trade center, but now Guangzhou is China's largest industrial center, a large number of young and strong from farmers to workers, some of them smart and capable will grow into skilled workers.

Young Master Liang's painstaking planning and promotion finally paid off. Now Guangzhou is vibrant and thriving, and it won't be long before it becomes a new city that can compete with big cities in Europe and the United States.

"Dear Ronnie, you are always so busy, I haven't seen you for a long time" Robin said with a smile: "I will tell you a good news, our telegraph line has been laid in Beijing, and the conservative Qing government has finally agreed to open a telegraph in Beijing."

"It is indeed a good news worth celebrating, the convenience and speed of the telegram is irresistible to anyone, Robin, China is too big, and the market potential is also infinite, so our goal cannot be limited to Guangzhou, and you cannot always be the consul general of the British Empire in Guangzhou, maybe in a few years you will be the ambassador of the British Empire to China."

Young Master Liang's words scratched Luo Bin's itch, the current Luo Bin is not what it used to be, he has tasted the pleasure of being an official; People in officialdom have a wish, that is, the official is getting bigger and bigger, think about last year he was just a big class of a foreign bank, now what? Therefore, it is normal to become an ambassador to China in a few years.

"Haha, my brother, you are really my angel, I will definitely work hard, tell me, you must have a good idea again".

"Now China's largest trade center is Shanghai, I also run a few schools in Shanghai, but I don't have any factories, China's market is so big, so why can't we run more factories in this largest trade center? I believe that if we are so successful in Guangzhou, we can also succeed in Shanghai, right? ”

Young Master Liang's words made Luo Bin fall into deep thought, and soon he raised his head and said, "You are right, but I am only the consul general of Guangzhou now, and I am not familiar with Shanghai."

Young Master Liang shook his head and smiled, "Then what does it matter? It's just purely commercial, imagine if we wanted to create a development zone in Shanghai, would the Qing government oppose it? Even if they oppose it, what is the use of their opposition? ”

"Hahahaha" Luo Bin laughed again, indeed, what is the use of the opposition of the Qing Dynasty, just like the telegraph company and the Guangzhou Development Zone, aren't they all developing very well now.

"Dear Robin, if we can achieve the same results in Shanghai as in Guangzhou, then you will not be far from the position of ambassador of the British Empire to China", no way, Master Liang's words always sound so tempting.
