Chapter 47 Pre-War Preparations

After listening to Li Maolin's report, Wang Kun is indeed a lot more relieved, it seems that he has initially been able to take charge on his own!

In fact, it stands to reason that the bigger the official position, the more it should be a summary report at the end, but Wang Kun is basically facing some old guys who are dead readers, and these people think that they will be superior from now on after reading some books. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that in Borneo, a place where there is already a shortage of readers, the character of these readers is even more arrogant, but since they are working under my Wang Kun, they must follow my rules!

"Mr. Lin, let me let you go down and investigate the situation of running a school here?" Wang Kun looked at a slightly thin reader below and asked.

This person was found in the gold mine, and it is said that he had studied in his hometown for a few years, but because his family was poor and could not even afford the money for the exam, he was forced to go to sea to pan for gold, and later Wang Kun accidentally discovered him. Since he is still a scholar after all, he is still very grateful to Wang Kun for giving him this opportunity, and he is very serious when he works.

"I have already done a preliminary investigation of this, and I am angry about the children in Kuching and Selom Mun, who need to be educated. Oh! In other words, there are more than 100 school-age children you mentioned, but there are less than 20 people in the family who want to send their children to school! ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Lin looked at Wang Kun a little embarrassed, and then said: "This may be my wrong way, how can there be so many family members who don't want their children to study?" ”

"Huh! In fact, this is nothing, since everyone has fled overseas, then there is no way to participate in the imperial examination when studying. In some cases, it is difficult for them to make a living when they flee overseas, and where can they still bother to provide for their children to study! So they have no intention of letting their children go to school! Wang Kun said what he thought.

"It's really stupid and short-sighted, how can this sage book only be for the imperial examination, it is the education of the saints, and it is used to educate all people. How can they be compared to those who practice lowly karma? "One of the people in the hall knew at a glance that he was an old sourman, and this kind of person had the most stubborn and pedantic thinking.

When the following readers heard this, they all followed suit, and they could see that this old gentleman's point of view could still be recognized by everyone!

"Don't be angry, old gentleman! Now they are forced to let their children go to school because of their livelihood, but I think that in two years, their lives will be better, and they can support their children to study! Wang Kun explained, these pedantic readers! I don't want to think about the actual situation, which adult doesn't know the truth that children who read have a good life, isn't there no way to be poor!

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Wang Kun was a little emotionally moved by their temperament, why did others say that you all nodded in response?

"Mr. Lin, since there are children who need education, then we can't do nothing, so my idea is that this matter will be left to you. Go down to your group and set up a private school, you choose a place, and then I will ask someone to build you a house as a place for teaching! ”

Hearing what Wang Kun said, Mr. Lin could be said to be very excited and nodded, for a traditional scholar, the best career is to gain fame, and to become a teacher and then peach and plum all over the world.

Wang Kun saw Mr. Lin's excited appearance and knew that he should come down, so the next step was to pay the commercial tax and gold mine tax in the living area.

In fact, Wang Kun doesn't care much about the amount of taxes, and the reason why he wants to hand over such an important task of taxation with confidence is that Wang Kun wants to see if they want to be disciplined when they face money!

In other words, Wang Kun took advantage of the fact that the territory was still small and the population was not large. After all, there are not so many professional talents now, and just a few people who have read books have spent a lot of effort on Wang Kun!

So take advantage of the fact that the task is not very heavy now, let them practice their hands first, and don't rush them when the population increases. It depends on whether they will be greedy for money without their own supervision.

When Wang Kun asked everyone about the things that everyone was responsible for, Wang Kun let everyone go back, after all, it was already very late. However, Wang Kun left Li Maolin alone.

"How do you feel about today's meeting?" Wang Kun saw that everyone had left, and then asked Li Maolin.

"I think everything is fine! Shilongmen is getting more and more prosperous, and our income is also increasing! What could be better than this result! Although Li Maolin didn't know what Wang Kun meant by asking, he still expressed his opinion.

"Yes! On the surface, it seems that all this is getting better and better, but we will not only have this place in the future, we will be very short of scholars who can dominate the party. So......" Speaking of this, Wang Kun stopped, silently patted Li Maolin's shoulder, and then left!

Li Maolin is a little baffled, 'more than this one place', that's for sure, as far as he knows, there is still Temasek is still in the wilderness. But he still understood the last sentence, there is a lack of people who can govern one side, so this means that he is not good? And is he interested in other places?

The night was getting darker and darker, and in Shilongmen's office, Li Maolin was still standing under the faint light and thinking. When the scary people at home came to scream, I realized that I had been here for a long time before I knew it!

Wang Kun didn't know a few words of his own, so he let Li Maolin meditate for a long time, if he knew, he would definitely think that next time he must make his words clear, in fact, he was just thinking that Li Maolin's growth was too slow, and he had more important things to hand over to him in the future.

However, it is not good to directly say that the other party's growth is too slow, so Wang Kun stopped there, but he didn't expect Li Maolin to think about it for so long!

However, Wang Kun doesn't care about him now, now all his thoughts are on the army, and he hasn't paid attention to it before, but he didn't expect that the real problems are more serious than he imagined. But he will need them in a few days, so Wang Kun must make them form combat effectiveness in the next few days.

Wang Kun returned to the barracks again, and at this time, except for the personnel on duty and on duty, basically all of them were asleep. Wang Kun inspected again, and then went to sleep.

The rapid sound of the gong woke everyone up early the next morning, and there was no way for Wang Kun to get a trumpet for them to blow now, so he replaced it with a gong, anyway, the sound of this thing was also very loud!

Then today's military training began again, first 20 kilometers of cross-country running, then go back to breakfast, and then go back to breakfast, and then at noon basic military drills and parade training. And, of course, the teaching, training and confrontation of white-knuckle combat.

In the afternoon, the breech flintlock live-fire training, of course, the splitting training, that is, the white-knuckle combat training, is because for the time being, Wang Kun's rifle is not enough for everyone. Although he bought some more later, after all, people were also guarding themselves, so they didn't dare to sell too much. Then you can only rely on traditional cold weapons, and waist knives and spears can still be replaced for the time being.

In the evening, Wang Kun did not let them go, Wang Kun asked them to do some small games of mutual trust between teammates. For example, ask a person to fall backwards from a place of about 1.8 meters, then have his companion stand on either side, and then stretch out his hand to pick up the person who has fallen. This game not only exercises one's courage, but also builds trust in one's peers.

In addition, there are some games to exercise the spirit of solidarity and cooperation among peers, so I will not repeat them here. Everything now is preparing for the next mission, so the current training is also as much as possible for actual combat.

But when everything is stable, they won't have so much game time at night, and then Wang Kun will let them taste what pain is again, because then Wang Kun will find a reader to teach them to read. It's a painful thing for this group of mud legs, but this is a must, Wang Kun doesn't want people to really think that his soldiers are really a bunch of Qiu Ba!

However, in the next few days, Wang Kun didn't really do anything, he still took the time to go to the dormitories of the remaining Britons. Seeing Wang Kun's arrival, these British prisoners were so excited that this devil wouldn't come to recruit people from among us again!

What disappointed them was that Wang Kun did not recruit from among them this time, he just inquired about the previous occupations of these people in a small talk way. Among them, the captain Marven used to be a wealthy businessman, Da Da used to be a naval officer and sailor, and several of them had served in the navy before.

Wang Kun was so happy this time, although his weapons were very advanced, but in a large-scale naval battle, he still relied on an experienced navy to decide the victory. And the British navy is undoubtedly the best in this, both in terms of experience and naval warfare theory, they are recognized as powerful.

Of course, there are craftsmen who can build ships, this person Wang Kun also knows, and the British ship that was captured was repaired by him. However, Wang Kun is still skeptical that he will design and build sailboats. After all, in Wang Kun's view, these are completely two concepts.

The rest are some blind sailors and bankrupt thugs, but these people can also be recruited as soldiers when the time comes. Anyway, in Wang Kun's thoughts, these Britons just want to make full use of it, as for the future, who can say for sure?

However, Wang Kun did not disappoint them for too long, and when Wang Kun came again five days later, there were still three platoons of people in this Zhang Lei, and this time they came to give them a shock, because these three platoons had the best training results in the past few days.

When the three platoons of people walked at a neat pace and came to the dormitory area of the British, the Britons were all ...... when they saw this group of soldiers who were serious, neat and neat in their movements

Forehead! All...... They all wanted to laugh a little, and yes they almost laughed!

To them, this does not look like soldiers, they look more like a bunch of strict peasants, and they are very poor peasants.

Because Wang Kun has not specially prepared military uniforms until now, he looks like a group of very poor pirates no matter how he looks at it now.

However, the soldiers with serious expressions and neat movements still let them see that this army is powerful, and they will not make any movements without the commander's request. When you hear the commander's command, you move quickly and neatly, and you feel a chill, such an army is really terrifying!
