Xuan Yuemeng worships force and longs for domineering force, but he is not a person who abuses force.

For several days, Xuan Yuemeng, together with Zhao Qingluo and Hua Yueyan, was busy with the establishment of the development zone management office, and the affairs of the development zone management office were actually the affairs of the entire development zone management.

Xuan Yuemeng needs to get out the prototype of this society that he started from scratch as soon as possible, and lay the foundation for the construction of the entire American Concession to be completed!

Merchants do feel troublesome, many foreign companies are the branch of Shanghai Ocean Bank, they say that Shanghai is such a big place, the development has been so long, there are not as many broken rules here, but Xuan Yuemeng ignores it, what new things, just started, have to give people a process of adaptation.

The merchants were dissatisfied, but the merchants who settled in still rated the American Concession higher than Shanghai.

The streets here are all cement roads, greenery, drainage pipes, sewage systems, everything is so perfect, the security is even better, there is nothing to say, and the flow of people is getting stronger and stronger!

At this stage, more and more poor people in the Zhili area poured into the American Concession, they found that the money here is very profitable, no one bullied them, they do not have to pay any taxes to do small business, after registering with the management office of the development zone, they can also become residents here, there is no money to buy a house, and they can also apply for low-rent housing provided by Klinsmann & Co., the population of the American Concession has reached nearly 100,000 within two months, which is already saturated!

Li Hongzhang was extremely shocked when he heard about the situation in the American concession, and Weifu took a rickshaw to take a look, and all of a sudden, the population of such a small place could reach nearly 100,000, which was a very terrible thing, and the population of Beijing was less than 500,000. The population of Tianjin is less than 30,000!

What makes Li Hongzhang even more incomprehensible is that so many people live in such a small place, and the security is still so good, everyone seems to be very happy, which makes Li Hongzhang feel like he has suddenly arrived in a strange place, is this still the original Tianjin City? His memory. It's just a big open space along the river.

When Li Hongzhang got off the bus, it was just in time for the workers in the industrial zone to get off work, and thousands of workers got off work and had to go back to the American concession to stay.

Li Hongzhang: "Xingsun, what are they doing?" Are there any disputes? So many people coming out together? ”

Sheng Xuanhuai shook his head, "Maybe it's work." I've seen workers in foreigner factories get off work in Shanghai, and that's what they look like, but there aren't so many, and I don't know what kind of factories and so many people this Klinsmann foreign company has opened? Lord Zhongtang, don't look at it, let's go back, I told you that there is a problem with this Klinsmann foreign company. Is there any one that has developed like them? Foreign companies came to the Qing Dynasty to make quick money. They seemed to want to settle down here, and when we came in just now, they had to issue an official document from the Beiyang Yamen to let them in, making it like going abroad. ”

Li Hongzhang nodded and looked around, "It's really well managed." It's like you've been in a different place, and I read in the newspapers, and that's what European countries look like, right? Looking at it this way, this Klinsmann foreign company is good, and it solves the problem of eating for many people in the Qing Dynasty. But. Why would they do this? Do you really want to settle down in our Qing Dynasty? I see, it's become a very complete ****** here, they have everything, have you noticed? If it weren't for the fact that the place was too small, I was afraid that the entire poor people of Zhili would have come. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai: "Lord Zhongtang, don't be deceived, I think they have ulterior motives, will they be so kind?" I'm afraid that I want to occupy this place for a long time to develop and have some plans, right? That kid is that Xuan Yuemeng, how old is the talent, a one-year-old child, just like an adult, has a lot of ghost ideas! Such a kid is a monster! I got involved with foreigners at such a young age, adult, I see that many ghost ideas are from that child, I don't know what foreigners want to do, I think, the American concession is not as good as the British and French, greedy, not scared, most afraid of this kind of dog that does not bark, I don't know when it will bite. ”

Li Hongzhang's heart tightened, if this is really the case, then the threat of the American concession will be much greater than that of the British and French concessions!

Li Hongzhang frowned and looked around, but found that someone was already staring at him secretly from a distance, he came in civilian clothes, but Li Hongzhang estimated that he sent someone to stare at Xuan Yuemeng secretly, and Xuan Yuemeng should also secretly send someone to stare at him.

Li Hongzhang nodded, "It's true that you have to be careful, but that Xuan Yuemeng doesn't have anything, this kid is just smarter, I think he is still towards our Qing Dynasty, and that official and foreign office has been praised by the imperial court, otherwise why is there no other foreign company willing to do such a thing?" They dug up coal, and it wasn't used in our Daqing Dynasty, so we still took advantage of it, and they really wanted to develop industry here, which was also good. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai said anxiously: "Adult, don't be deceived by that child, I just see that child has a big problem, adult, do you know?" Now the Yongding Gang, which is making a lot of noise, is supported by that kid behind the scenes, I suspect that the last time he killed a foreign devil, it was this kid who made it behind his back, and he was provoking the relationship between us and foreigners. Also, eighty percent of the arms robbery this time was also caused by this child! This little kid is very dangerous! ”

Li Hongzhang groaned and didn't speak, he hadn't seen Xuan Yuemeng for a while, it seemed that Xuan Yuemeng would only come to him when something happened, and Li Hongzhang really couldn't see what kind of child Xuan Yuemeng was.

Although Li Hongzhang still doesn't agree with Sheng Xuanhuai's judgment of Xuan Yuemeng, Li Hongzhang knows that Xuan Yuemeng is by no means a smart child, Li Hongzhang, like Zeng Jize, is also worried that Xuan Yuemeng will go the wrong way, in the big picture, Li Hongzhang secretly still hopes that Xuan Yuemeng's father and son can be used by him in the future, which will definitely help him to start a foreign business.

Li Hongzhang and Sheng Xuanhuai walked around for a while, and then left the American concession.

Xuan Yuemeng did not implement any poverty alleviation policies for people who came to the American Concession, because his financial resources did not allow it.

Moreover, Xuan Yuemeng also doesn't like to give money directly. He felt that giving people money directly was an insult to people, and it might not necessarily lead to good development, but would stimulate people's speculative psychology, and they always hoped that someone would give money.

His philosophy is that it is easy to come and not easy to go. If you want to get an ID card from the U.S. Concession, you must sign in here for five consecutive years, and sign in every three months, to prove that you have been living here, so that you can have the opportunity to become a resident here.

In modern times, drifting is called Beipiao in Beijing. In the American Concession of Tianjin, more and more people are floating here, and Xuan Yuemeng calls them Tianpiao.

In fact, he himself is just a drifter now, Xuan Yuemeng does not think that his American concession is as stable as Mount Tai, Britain and France are a threat, and the policy of the Americans is also a threat!

Of course, it is impossible to change the laws of the United States at will, but the Americans will one day return the concession in Tianjin to the Qing government. In exchange for a bigger and better piece of land, Xuan Yuemeng will be a little troublesome!

It's not impossible. After all, the Americans have never paid here, and if the concession is developed too well, it will not bring anything to the country.

Therefore, Xuan Yuemeng still wants to try to maintain a good relationship with all aspects.

He realized the uncertainty of surviving in the cracks, and his heart could not completely settle down, and he took a step forward. If you want to get more social resources, you have to touch the interests of more people, and if you want to get on, you must fight with others, otherwise it will be like your last life. Be a scumbag at the bottom, then you don't have to fight, you all sleep on the road, and you have to fight, I will let you sleep on the whole road!

On March 3, spring blossoms.

With unremitting efforts, all aspects of the American Concession have entered a healthy mode, and Xuan Yuemeng is quietly waiting for the development of her own small society!

Wei Kuiheng had also taken a steamer from Incheon back to Tianjin, and at the behest of Xuan Yuemeng, Yu Kuiheng gave the ship to the branch of the Klinsmann Foreign Company living in Incheon, and the Incheon branch of the Klinsmann Foreign Company sold the ship to another firm after some makeover, which was mainly engaged in business between Korea and Japan, and the ship was not easy to be discovered by the French foreign firm in Shanghai, and this matter was considered a thing of the past.

Xuan Yuemeng hasn't been to Dashu Hutong for more than a month, during this time, his mind is on helping the development zone management office to set up this matter, even Timothy Li's daughter Sophia came to find Xuan Yuemeng several times, but was blocked by Xuan Yuemeng, originally, he is still very patient with the little girl, it really can't work, he will also take it to play and work at the same time.

During this time, Xuan Yuemeng had neither time to study nor time to practice martial arts, she was busy every day, and she didn't know what she was busy with, but her heart was quite full. Xuan Yuemeng's society must be much more advanced than the well-informed Timothy Lee and Loew and others in England and Germany, France, and those places have lived in many more advanced societies, and the American Concession itself was originally planned in the United States, what was the use of each place for, Xuan Yuemeng has undergone careful evaluation and survey, each lot is very reasonable, a blank piece of paper redraws a society, and the original society to transform him, it must be very different, Xuan Yuemeng's blueprint, even if the city is old in the future, it needs to be transformedIt will also be very convenient, because the area set aside by Xuan Yuemeng for public facilities is large enough and the streets are wide enough, and Xuan Yuemeng knows that the biggest problem in the transformation of the old city is the narrow streets.

Sophia: "Yuemeng, you must play with me today, okay?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng thought that she hadn't been to Dashu Hutong for more than a month, on the one hand, she missed Zeng Siping a little, and a few of her little playmates, although they were all very young, but they had been together for a long time, and they would have some feelings.

Xuan Yuemeng looked at Sophia, and suddenly thought of something, if Sophia was allowed to follow Zeng Siping and them to study, then she would have one less burden, otherwise Sophia would come to her every day, and she would have to make up all kinds of reasons to get out.

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Okay, I'll take you to meet a few friends today, by the way, don't you really want to play with Chinese children?" ”

Sophia clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, then Yuemeng, will you play with them?" Thou shalt not leave me. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "I'll take you there, if you are willing to learn from Chinese teachers, you will speak Chinese well in the future, then I prefer to play with you, you say, okay?" ”

Sophia nodded happily, "Okay." ”

Xuan Yuemeng also has no way to take Timothy Li's wife, since Catherine came to China, there are maids at home, and she plays with a group of foreign comprador wives every day, and she doesn't take children.

Xuan Yuemeng first took Sophia to the American Patrol Capture Room, this is the place he has to go to every day, now Zhao Qingluo has been able to manage the government independently, it may be an exaggeration to say that the governance may be a bit exaggerated, it can only be said that Zhao Qingluo is a senior assistant, who is responsible for helping Xuan Yuemeng stamp, many things still need Xuan Yuemeng to take the idea, but Xuan Yuemeng does not want to train Zhao Qingluo to be an expert in governing the country, just to make the modern system of the American concession work, he is satisfied, people are dead, If a system can operate freely, then whoever will replace Zhao Qingluo's position in the future can be replaced, Xuan Yuemeng does not want a family system, but a social system, a social system that can operate freely, his possessiveness is not so strong, and he does not want to make the development zone a slave society.

The patrol room is divided into two groups, one is the Flying Tigers, which has grown to three hundred people, Xuan Yuemeng does not want to expand for the time being, these people are enough to maintain the law and order of the concession, and these people are mainly on missions.

The other group is the security team, that is, the patrol police, the patrol police brigade, Xuan Yuemeng's establishment is 1,000 people, a small population of 100,000, and it does need a brigade of 1,000 people to manage, the patrol police use batons, and the Flying Tigers only use guns.

Xuan Yuemeng's Flying Tigers are already somewhat similar to the standing army, at least, the German retired officers he invited, the method used is a set of management systems for the army, Xuan Yuemeng did not intend to train these people to become officers, officers have an officer's school, Xuan Yuemeng knows that it is impossible to get a group of officers so easily, he just wants the Flying Tigers to become the cradle of excellent soldiers, in the future, among the outstanding soldier representatives, Xuan Yuemeng will think of letting them enter the German Senior Military Academy, learn systematic knowledge of modern warfare, Xuan Yuemeng knew that this was not something he could do in China, and inviting one or two people to come would not achieve that effect! A group of excellent officers needs an excellent army and a large number of excellent instructors to rely on! It's not something that can be done in three or two clicks.

Xuan Yuemeng also wanted to select excellent soldiers and secretly send them to Zhang Decheng when the time came.

Why only three hundred? On the one hand, it is to keep a low profile, so as not to let the forces in all aspects feel too shocked, and take him as the object to be suppressed, on the other hand, it is difficult to obtain weapons, and it is even more difficult to use ammunition, and a bunch of people practice with wooden sticks, which is not Xuan Yuemeng's character.

In the same way, Xuan Yuemeng's education system is also adhering to this concept, he wants to cultivate from elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, so step by step, and wait until he can graduate from his own university outstanding students, or high school students, and then send them abroad for further study, otherwise it has no effect at all, if you send dozens of children out, the success rate is low, this is a problem, the time to learn the language is very long, he is because he has an English foundation, plus a language environment, he can learn faster than others, normal people go abroad, At least two or three years are used to learn languages, learn words, and learn from scratch, if you are a child in China, if you don't have a foundation, you will learn even more slowly.

"One! Two! Three! Four! ”

The German instructor is training soldiers, Xuan Yuemeng will follow when he has time, he has not been a soldier, but he likes the atmosphere of the barracks, which gives people a bloody atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
