Tao Chengzhang's work is certainly not so simple. In the past few days, this old man has built two new primary schools and a middle school in Suzhou County. Of course, it is the entire noble clan that pays the money.

Since you people dare to go against Premier Hu, then it is necessary to be prepared for retaliation. Tao Chengzhang can't tolerate sand in his eyes at this point. The first fundraiser for the establishment of the school was less than 100 taels. The next day, Tao Chengzhang led the police to surround the main houses of all the scholars present, and they were only allowed to enter and not leave. Two days later, the noblemen surrendered. Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! Tao Chengzhang happily built the school with the five thousand taels of silver in his hand, and by the way, he pulled the eldest son and second son of these families, as long as they knew the words, to become teachers in the school.

Premier Hu Xiaoyan has too few scholars. No matter how powerful Tao Chengzhang is, he can't find a teacher! Of course, the teaching materials are ready-made, and Shanghai Gezhi Academy and Times China Newspaper are all sponsored free of charge, and these primary and junior high school students will all be accepted by Shanghai Gezhi Academy in the future. Shanghai Gezhi Academy provides them with a two-year college preparatory class, as long as their grades are not too bad, they can enter Shanghai Chengxin University for further study.

Now the scholars in Suzhou County hate Tao Chengzhang very much, and secretly don't know how many black materials have been prepared to be sent to Beijing. But what they don't know is that their family members will be taken down by the security police before they leave the city, and then sent to the mine for labor reform.

Tao Chengzhang would not show mercy to those loyal ministers of the Great Qing Kingdom, and in addition to the school, he also began to force them to raise funds to set up a large estate. There is little resistance from the scholars at this point, because the output of the manor will be purchased by the Yamen of the Anhui Mining Department except for the scholars who left it for their own use. But what they don't know is that it's a pit here.

Tao Chengzhang would be so kind to show you the way to get rich? No kidding! I don't know if Tao Chengzhang is a hooligan who knows high-level culture?

In addition, Tao Chengzhang also developed almost all college students into members of the Liberation Society. Even the sons of those scholar families are also being brainwashed continuously. These people will soon become die-hard fans of my big League of Legends. The theory of the supremacy of science and technology has begun to take root in Suzhou County, Anhui Province, and will grow into a towering tree as soon as the opportunity comes.

Hu Xiaoyan, premier of the Anhui Mining General Department and Yamen, was very satisfied with the recent work results of Comrade Tao Chengzhang, a hooligan of the great reactionaries, and also highly affirmed it. At the same time, Comrade Tao Chengzhang was required to guard against arrogance and rashness, work hard, and unite the people's hearts in the next stage of work,......

Comrade Tao Chengzhang also said that he must ......

After the meeting and the exchange with Tao Chengzhang, Hu Xiaoyan finally let go of his burden.

But his troubles soon followed.

Xu Shichang rushed over from Beijing and brought a one-time hardship fee of 100,000 taels. I hope that the two sides can cooperate sincerely and so on. Because there are only three people in China who are currently strongly armed. These three people were Li Hongzhang's Nie Shicheng's department, Yuan Shikai's new army, and Hu Xiaoyan's security regiment.

As for others such as Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi, Yuan Shikai said that there was no pressure. Otherwise, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not be able to destroy the Ming Dynasty, the Zeng Kingdom would not be able to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the British Empire would not have entered the city of Beijing.

Zhang Zhidong and the others had a lot of mistakes at hand, but unfortunately the fact was that Yuan Shikai could take them down with a single charge as long as he sent a regular division. And Nie Shicheng's troops are not to mention, they have experienced bloody battles on the Korean battlefield, and if they really fight, although Yuan Shikai has many soldiers, he is not completely sure of destroying Nie Shicheng.

Although the last Hu Xiaoyan only has the establishment of 3,000 members of the security regiment, Yuan Shikai absolutely does not believe that the 3,000 people under the command of a talented man who can write the "Rise of a Great Power" series are just a simple security regiment!

If he really thinks so, then it is better to take a piece of tofu and kill it early, so as not to embarrass each other in the future.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't expect Yuan Shikai to put so much effort into wooing, let alone that Yuan Shikai would have such a high evaluation of him. At the end of the day, while he has some insight ahead of his time, he is a bit of an idiot when it comes to politics and how to behave. If he hadn't met Ye Chengxin, Cai Yuanpei and others, he wouldn't have come this far. If there was no Ye Cheng's endorsement in Shanghai, I am afraid that Hu would have been arrested and put in prison by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in the later period, if it were not for Li Hongzhang and Prince Alcohol as backers, he would have been put on death row by the former governor of Anhui, Lord Deng.

And if Zhang Binglin hadn't praised Hu Xiaoyan in Times China, he would not have been able to get countless college students and many enlightened literati to come to work.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't know how terrifying the power he was now had, whether in the government or in the opposition, the name Li Yan represented not only the first person to open his eyes to see the world, but also the first person to bring foreign history into China. He was the first person to give China a thorough understanding of the world's great powers. Both Cixi and Li Hongzhang both loved and hated him. The two of them really wanted to talk about Hu Xiaoyan to kill him, but they couldn't. The six gentlemen of Wuxu said that they would kill them. Because of the departure from Beijing, there are not many people in the whole country who can know the names of the six gentlemen of Wuxu.

But if you know the name Li Yan, almost no one in the whole country doesn't know it! With the passage of time, even in the small villages under the remote mountains, there will be people who educate their sons, let them study more, and become literary and opera stars like Mr. Li Yan.

Yes, Li Yan is no longer alone! He's been canonized.

This is also the reason why Tao Chengzhang is rampant and domineering in Suzhou County, but the scholars have not bothered much, and some families even took the initiative to donate to the school. Tao Chengzhang's backstage is not on the same level as them. People are gods!

Yuan Shikai originally didn't believe in Xu Shichang and Yang Du's descriptions. But one day, he actually heard his groom talking to his doorman about the legend of Li Yan in front of the door. This made him tremble and moved.

The reason why Yan Fu did not get Li Yan's treatment was because he only mentioned Shiyi's long skills to control Yi. But there is no specific mention of how to do it. Nor did it give a program for the reform of the country that could be implemented! But this is the kind of heavenly evolution theory that is also popular all over the country. He himself was later appointed as the president of Peking University by Yuan Shikai, and his status in the academic and political circles was thus praised as a god.

However, Li Yan's "The Rise of Great Powers" and "The Supremacy of Science and Technology" go further than "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution". It not only gives the reasons why each country is strong, but also describes the history of each country in detail. It even gave a theoretical basis for saving the country. The phrase that science and technology is the primary productive force has been memorized and remembered by countless people. If this is the case, Li Yan is just a theoretician like Yan Fu, and at most he will only be regarded as an enlightened staff, which is similar to Yan Fu's later status.

Li Yan did much more thorough than Yan Fu, he not only advocated the supremacy of science and technology, but also raised funds to establish the first university in Asia, and personally participated in the development of Anhui's mining industry. What does this mean? This shows that Li Yan is not only a theorist, but also a practical expert. What he did was seen by countless people who were paying attention!

After Zhang Binglin took over, he successively published the "Encyclopedia of the British Empire". At the beginning of each article, a sentence is written: Mr. Li Yan said: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces".

The Encyclopedia of the British Empire has in fact brought more influence than "The Rise of Great Powers" and "The Supremacy of Technology". Because these two books are only theoretical books, everyone knows that technology can change the world. But I don't know how technology has developed, and I don't know the direction of future scientific and technological development. China simply does not have any roots in science and technology.

This Encyclopedia of the British Empire gives the answer.

The words before the opening of the "Encyclopedia of the British Empire" published in Times China completely put the name Li Yan on the altar. It was praised and worshiped by thousands of families. Li Yan is a god in the hearts of all intellectuals in China!

In such a situation, whoever dares to touch Li Yan is the public enemy of the whole people! Even with Cixi's arrogance, she did not dare to have the slightest thought. The so-called people are excited, and the team is not easy to bring.

Because of the small size of Times China, many people couldn't wait and rushed to the Times China Newspaper to help translate the encyclopedia for free.

Hu Xiaoyan is busy every day, and even his sleeping time is repeatedly compressed, of course, he doesn't know anything about it! As for the other scholars who knew that Hu Xiaoyan was Li Yan, they all regarded Li Yan as a saint, and they didn't even dare to come out in front of him. How could you tell Hu Xiaoyan that you are famous!!

So many people in the whole country, and even many of his subordinates, know that he has become a god, but Hu Xiaoyan himself doesn't know anything about it.

If it weren't for Xu Shichang looking at him with a look of adoration, he would have asked. Hu Xiaoyan doesn't know how long he will be hidden.

"You're saying I'm a big celebrity?" Hu Xiaoyan is not sure about this. I've only translated a few books? How did you become a god? Also a Wenqu star? I'll go! What is the situation?

"Mr. Li, it's true. You've just come back from abroad and you don't understand what the whole country needs right now! Xu Shichang was very emotional.

"Britain provoked one after another, although it was strong, after all, it did not seize our territory, but the subsequent Korean War and the First Sino-Japanese Naval War completely sobered up the people. The Great Qing Kingdom is no longer the Heavenly Empire. ”

"Siberia, Northeast, Lushun, Dalian, Qingdao. Step by step, our country is being lost. But the whole country has no response to this. Brother Li's book was timely. "As a soldier, Xu Shichang sees the changes in the current situation more clearly.

"What's more important is that Brother Li is not only excellent in theory, but also lagging behind in practice. This kind of open-mindedness is not admired by anyone. ”

"Don't dare, Brother Xu praised it." After Hu Xiaoyan digested Xu Shichang's news, he had a further understanding of his situation. In the short term, his status is equivalent to giving him a protective umbrella, and neither the Manchu Qing nor the revolutionary party nor Japan will pose a threat to his life. Because they can't afford the consequences of killing Li Yan.

But in the long run, this identity will cause him super trouble. Every word of a celebrity will be analyzed by outsiders word by word. For example, if Hu Xiaoyan says that he likes to eat dumplings, maybe Japan's special high-tech department will find a way to get the dumplings and bowls that Hu Xiaoyan has eaten back for research. See if there's anything special about it.

This will bring some inexplicable changes to his trip to Europe. In the same country, both Cixi and Li Hongzhang were afraid of him at this time. I don't move myself now because I'm still in the limelight. And if Hu Xiaoyan is wrong in half a sentence, although Cixi will not be spicy, it is certain that he will shut down his Yamen of the Anhui Mining General Division. This is unacceptable to Hu Xiaoyan.

So now is both an opportunity and a threat. It's up to you to grasp it. Hu Xiaoyan clenched his hands.

"So what is Lord Yuan's attitude?"

Since Yuan Shikai sent Xu Shichang to give a big gift, he helped him analyze the situation. There must be something else that goes deep into the stuff that hasn't been said. The so-called courtesy is more than what others want. The old Chinese saying, although ancient, definitely makes sense.

Hu Xiaoyan would not believe that Yuan Shikai would be so kind. It's still the same sentence: there is no love for no reason and no hate for no reason in this world.
