Chapter 022: Education Xingchuan (Part I)
Fushun County, opposite the county office, has now become a huge construction site, with dozens of workers coming in and out every day.
Wang Mo built the first Western-style primary school here with deep meaning, one is to attract the attention of others, and the other is to subtly elevate the status of the school, education to rejuvenate Sichuan, education to rejuvenate the country is not just words.
Early this morning, Wang Mo personally came over to routinely inspect the quality and progress of the school's construction, while Miss Lin Yun'er followed behind with a reluctant face, she was really not used to the dusty construction site. If it weren't for the fear of being despised by Wang Mo, she wouldn't have spoken well, I'm afraid she would have turned around and left a long time ago.
"Wang Mo, what's there to check here, after those craftsmen are finished, don't you just come to accept it, you have to ask for trouble." Lin Yun'er complained to Wang Mo with some dissatisfaction.
Wang Mo walked around the construction site, taking a look at it for a while, knocking on the wall of the school for a while, and glared at Lin Yun'er while checking: "Education is a century-old plan, and the quality of school construction is the top priority." With your current attitude, how can you be responsible for the construction of schools in the rest of the places? If something goes wrong, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone. ”
Wang Mo originally wanted to set up a quality supervision team, but his subordinates were all illiterate and coarse, and he couldn't help at all, so he could only go into battle in person. Although the construction team of this era is much simpler than that of later construction companies, it is not possible to guarantee that there will be any cats in it, and it is always good to be prepared.
Hearing Wang Mo's warning, Lin Yun'er hurriedly put away her eldest lady's temper, and followed Wang Mo for so many days, she knew very well how much Wang Mo attached importance to the construction of Western-style primary schools.
Wang Mo's appearance quickly attracted the attention of the construction team, and the foreman Lao Fan hurriedly ran to Wang Mo's side, with a respectful and slightly flattering smile.
"At this rate, will the main school building be completed in another month?" Wang Mo had no opinion on the quality of construction, and then asked about the speed of construction.
Lao Fan hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, the young marshal will guarantee that it will be completed within a month, and it will definitely not delay the start of the school." ”
Wang Mo nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the open space next to him and said, "There is still a canteen to be built over there, and the school will provide lunch for all students free of charge after the school starts; A library building should also be built, and more simple and easy-to-understand illustrated popular science books should be bought back to expand students' thinking and knowledge; Well, build another faculty dormitory building, don't be stingy with this, build a beautiful one. ”
Lao Fan naturally hoped to live as much as possible, so he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said again and again: "No problem, just do what the young marshal says, and ensure that it is built beautifully." ”
However, Lin Yun'er looked stupid, and said incredulously: "Are you building a primary school hall or a university hall?" Do you know how much it costs to build what you're talking about? Don't you think it's too much to build dormitories for faculty members? ”
Wang Mo shook his head: "If you are not willing to spend your blood, how can you attract others to teach in this poor and remote area of southern Sichuan?" I haven't asked you yet, it's been almost a month, where are the instructors I asked you to hire? ”
Talking about this issue, Lin Yun'er immediately made a bitter face: "I have many good classmates in the Women's Normal School, but you must know that they can study in the Women's Normal School, and most of the conditions at home are good, and their families will basically not agree to let them come out and show up as teachers." I was able to convince three of my classmates to agree to come and give it a try. ”
So, no matter how much money is spent, it is estimated that there is no way to invite these girls to be teachers?
Wang Mo frowned, for the first time, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that the students of the Women's Normal School would be like Lin Yun'er, in that case, the teachers of the Western-style primary school would not have to worry.
The more closed and backward the place, the more conservative it is, and in Sichuan, a poor inland province, the conservative force is very strong.
The students in the primary school are mostly children, and it is much better to hire female teachers than male teachers. However, in the case of Sichuan, it is very difficult to find enough qualified female teachers.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Mo said: "In this way, I will personally go to Shanghai in a few days and advertise to recruit teachers." I believe that as long as you are willing to spend money, you will be able to recruit enough excellent teachers. ”
This idea was not a whim of Wang Mo, but it had been considered for a long time. As an international city in this era, Shanghai is home to many promising young people who are proficient in Western studies, and it should not be difficult to recruit some outstanding female teachers to teach in Sichuan at a high price. Besides, he also has some ideas, maybe he can go to Shanghai by the way.
Speaking of Shanghai, Lin Yun'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "Big Shanghai, I'm going too, I haven't seen what Shanghai is like." ”
Wang Mo refused without even thinking about it: "Shanghai is mixed, and the people are not familiar with the place." If you go along, I don't have the power to keep you safe. ”
Lin Yun'er snorted, pouted and said, "Who wants you to protect, I can bring my own gun, it's a big deal to hire a few more guards." ”
Look, this posture must be followed? Wang Moton felt a headache, thought about it, and then thought of another excuse: "Even if I agree, I'm afraid Ling Zun Lingtang won't agree to let you go to Shanghai, right?" ”
When Lin Yun'er heard Wang Mo's excuse, she smiled proudly: "Wang Mo, I'm afraid you don't know, my father and my mother have both stayed abroad, and the two of them met when they were studying in Shanghai before, so they won't stop me from going to Shanghai." ”
This was really unexpected by Wang Mo, but he didn't expect that there were still two high-level intellectuals who had stayed abroad in the poor and remote land of southern Sichuan.
In this era, talents are rare, especially those who can be used with confidence, and it is a waste for these two high-level intellectuals to be just a salt merchant.
Thinking of this, Wang Mo said: "That's it, tomorrow I will make a special trip to visit Lingzun Lingtang, as long as Lingzun Lingtang has no opinion, I will naturally not object." ”
What, a visit?
Lin Yun'er seemed to think of something, and her white and tender face suddenly turned crimson: "If you like to visit, you can come to visit, so I will ignore you!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away, and he really didn't look like Miss Lin, who could often choke Wang Mo speechless.
What does this mean? There are still many questions about the primary school that have not been explained clearly, why did they leave? Wang Mo touched his chin puzzled, a little confused.
At this time, Chen Shi panted and ran to Wang Mo and said, "Young master...... Master...... The master told you to hurry back. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, you're out of breath, say slowly, what's going on?" Wang Mo was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is now in obscurity, and there should be nothing wrong.
Chen Shi took a few deep breaths, and then said, "I don't know what the specific thing is. However, there were many guests in the house just now, and looking at the appearance of the master, they should all be small guests. By the way, the same Japanese guy I visited before, also came. ”
Shinsuke Kimura again?
Wang Mo has always been very wary of the Japanese, what kind of moth is going to come out of Shinsuke Kimura? He is the most impatient to deal with this kind of guy who hides in a dark corner and calculates, and it seems that he has to find a talent who is engaged in intelligence as soon as possible, and set up a special intelligence team to deal with miscellaneous people like Shinsuke Kimura.
Damn, I'm in trouble again.
Under the persecution of such and such realities, Wang Mo felt that he was less and less like a pure soldier.
Lao Fan is responsible for the construction of the primary school, and there should be no problems, so Wang Mo temporarily put down the matter of the school and took Chen Shi home.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Wang Mo heard many people in the living room laughing and talking about something, and it sounded like the atmosphere of the conversation was quite harmonious.
Walking into the living room, Wang Mo immediately felt that everyone's eyes in the living room had turned and looked him up and down.
"Everyone, let me introduce you to you, this is Xiao'er Wang Mo." Wang Haoshan pulled Wang Mo and introduced it to everyone in the living room.
"It turns out that this is Ling Gongzi, and he really has an extraordinary bearing!"
"I heard that Ling Gongzi is a top student of Baoding Military Academy, and he really deserves his reputation."
"Ling Gongzi is so heroic, Wang Dashuai is really a blessing."
……
Everyone did not skimp on their praise at all, and praised as if Wang Mo was an immortal genius who came out once in a thousand years.
Most of these people are sociable people, of course Wang Mo will not take their words seriously, but just bow down vigorously and give gifts.
This time, there were people from Luzhou, Chongqing, and Chengdu who came to the Wang family, and all the factions that thought they had some forces sent people to win over and test Wang Haoshan.
Such a situation will occur, mainly because Wang Haoshan's foundation is too shallow and his rise speed is too fast, but the combat effectiveness of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is too strong.
In the past, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army fought in Fushun, and few people cared. But since the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army defeated the powerful Dian Army, it has suddenly entered the sight of all forces in Sichuan.
Such a hodgepodge of talks obviously does not talk about any substantive issues, and most of them are polite and false. If you really want to talk about the key issues, you will only contact them privately.
After sitting and listening for a while, Wang Mo fell asleep when he listened, but Wang Haoshan still looked radiant, and he could see that his father had evolved in the direction of a politician.
After a while, Wang Mo was impatient to stay any longer, so he left the living room with a polite look.
"Wang Sang, please wait a minute." Shinsuke Kimura chased out of the living room and called out to Wang Mo.
Damn, the haunting little Japan!
Wang Mo cursed secretly in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface: "Oh, Mr. Kimura, is there anything wrong?" ”
Shinsuke Kimura walked in front of Wang Mo and bowed ninety degrees: "Wang Sang, although I am a little presumptuous, I wonder if Wang Sang can tell me which foreign company your army purchased those arms from?" ”
Wang Mo's face sank, and he said unceremoniously: "Which foreign company do I contact to purchase arms, do I still need to inform Mr. Kimura?" ”
Kimura Shinsuke bowed again and again: "Wang Sang misunderstood, Western Caucasian people have always looked down on us yellow people, and most of the arms sold in East Asia are expensive and inferior. If Wang Sang needs it, I solemnly recommend to you the arms of the Japanese Empire, and I guarantee that Wang Sang can buy the best arms at the lowest price. ”
Not to mention that there is an industrial machine in hand, even if there is no him, he will not use the arms of Little Japan, Wang Mo shook his head and said: "Thank you Mr. Kimura for your kindness, but our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has no new arms purchase plan for the time being." ”
Kimura Shinsuke seemed a little surprised that Wang Mo refused so neatly, and after a pause, he said again: "It's a pity to do this, I believe that in the future, Wang Sang will definitely realize that the arms of my Great Japanese Empire are the most suitable for the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army." I heard that your army has recently expanded to more than 3,000 people in two regiments, and I can hire a few retired officers from Japan to serve as military advisers for your army to assist your army in its reorganization and training. ”
Military advisers?
Wang Mo sneered in his heart, others don't understand what is going on with the military adviser, will he, who has come from the era of the information explosion, be clear?
