Chapter 162: My University
On September 25, 1912, after Chai Dongliang updated "Xinhai Supercomputer", he opened a group of book friends with his surname.
"Pigtails? Are you still alive? How's immigration going? Chai Dongliang said in surprise.
After Ma Xiaobraid sent a smiling avatar, he typed a line of words: "My old man decided not to leave, and he will die in China??? Hee hee, or China is good, our Dongguan sauna is unparalleled in the world, another day I ask you to try the Dongguan style 36 style! ”
Chai Dongliang sent a disdainful avatar: "Slut! ”
I'm scolding, but I'm still very happy in my heart, only Ma Xiaobraid is engaged in business in the book friend group, and he can provide him with the most help to himself, and he feels a lot more down-to-earth in the group.
"Why did your old man decide not to leave? Didn't he say that he was tortured enough by the yamen? Chai Dongliang asked curiously.
Private enterprises are supported by the mothers in China, the taxes are extremely heavy and they are discriminated against by the financial sector, and it is more difficult to obtain loans than to climb to the sky, and many entrepreneurs have to borrow usury or take risks for illegal financing. Many people who are engaged in industry either sell their businesses to speculate on houses, or simply emigrate abroad with their families.
Ma Xiaobraid snorted angrily and scolded: "Don't mention it, my old man went to North America, in Toronto, Canada, and the hotel he stayed in was opposite the North York District,??? Damn, when the cat subway station is lined with groups of Chinese second mothers, the whole community has become the most famous Chinese second mother village in North America, and later went to Los Angeles, living in Hong Kong Plaza in Rowland Heights, or that bird-like, even the Yankees have learned to say the word "second mother", the number of Chinese second milk villages in the entire North America exceeds the number of Chinatowns, do you think that foreign devils can afford our mainlanders, it is strange not to discriminate??? My old man said that when he was in China, he was surrounded by Chinese corrupt officials, and he finally went out and was still the same, so why not go to Mao? Just stay in the country and fight with them! ”
"I love little wolf dogs" interjected: "Brother pigtails, your dad lived there on purpose, right?" Did he find you a little mom? ”
"Get out, kick out more!"
I love the flash of the little wolf dog's acquaintance, and the result of offending the group owner is not fun: "Hmph, something without conscience, the slave family withdraws!" ”
Chai Dongliang remembered the topic: "Ma Xiaobraid, can you help me get a few sets of drawings for mine mining equipment and mine hoisting equipment?" The old price, five hundred sets, right? ”
The iron ore in Ma'anshan has been prepared for large-scale mining, and the mining equipment is really not powerful, Chai Dongliang plans to build his own equipment, which can not only be used for mining but also sold for money, killing two birds with one stone.
Ma Xiaobraid said impatiently: "What do you want that thing for?" Ready to open a machine shop? I advise you not to do it, if you don't make money, you can still tire people to death! ”
"You don't care what I'm doing, just buy it for me!"
"Okay then, I'll give you the phone number of the person who sells the drawings, and you can contact yourself."
Chai Dongliang smiled bitterly: "Don't, you better buy it, just send it to the group to share, and I'll ask the editor at the starting point to help me send money to you." ”
"Okay, I'll send it to you in three days!"
The subscription to "Xinhai Science and Technology Empire" is quite good, updated at Chai Dongliang's turtle speed, and the monthly income is actually more than 10,000 yuan, anyway, he can't spend this money, and it is the most cost-effective to buy technical information??? In the 21st century, a set of walnuts and dates can be bought in a set of materials, and at the beginning of the 20th century, it is a priceless treasure!
Time and space smuggling is really a good deal!
Turning off the computer, Chai Dongliang stretched his waist, carved wooden windows, rosewood desk, old-fashioned telephone, this is his real living environment. Chai Dongliang often has the illusion of splitting nerves, and always feels that everything in the Military Advisory Office is unreal, and maybe he is still in that Simmons bed when he wakes up.
The otaku life in the 21st century, no money, no car, no house, now Chai Dongliang has everything, power, status, countless money, there are more than 50 housekeepers, porters, messengers, maids, and mothers-in-law in the big mansion alone, and the elite of the Gurkha Guards is only to protect his safety, but Chai Dongliang has no sense of home at all, and what he loses is often the most precious.
Chai Dongliang remembered that when he was in high school, a girl in white was in class, and he walked two kilometers around every day just to see her go out downstairs at her house, to see her walk into the school and into the classroom next door??? For three years, nothing happened every day, more than a thousand days and nights, but my heart was full of joy.
I used to think that it was the purest love in the world.
After college, he fell madly in love with a girl from Yucheng, and the girl who smiled and showed two playful little tiger teeth filled his heart in an instant. In the four years of college career, the two of them ate a meal separately, gritted their teeth and quit smoking just to buy her a birthday gift, and their hearts could beat wildly when they held hands, and when they shared each other's first kiss, Chai Dongliang woke up with a smile several times when he slept at night.
I once thought that the love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu was nothing more than this.
When everything became a thing of the past and passion precipitated into dullness, Chai Dongliang sadly found that he couldn't remember the appearance of the girl in white who was in class, and his ex-girlfriend who had been in love for four years in college was actually just an ordinary girl.
Now the two girls around him, Mo Xiaolian is as pure as water, and the country is fragrant, Wu Meiqi is charming and has a deep love for herself, if you change to another time and space, there is such a girl who favors herself, isn't it that the ancestor burned high incense? But Chai Dongliang can no longer find the passion and impulse of the year??? Perhaps, maturity means losing that simple pleasure.
Chai Dongliang remembered a sentence he had read before crossing over: If a man has the world in his heart, he can no longer fit a woman!
At that time, it was purely to pretend to be forced, I remembered this sentence, but now I chew it repeatedly but has a different taste, in the heart of the superior, the world is the most beautiful woman!
There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists!
Just when Chai Dongliang was full of sadness and emotion, Fang Qingyu walked in incomprehensibly, and said in a low voice: "Governor, it's time to go to the Army Academy to test the new cadets." ”
Chai Dongliang then remembered that he once had a three-month appointment with the Englishman Barnes. Barnes patted his chest and promised that in three months, those "camp bastards" could be reborn and become excellent cadets.
Now that three months have passed, today is the time to test these students.
The Anhui Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy was located on the site of the Anhui Army Primary School established in the Qing Dynasty, and the original teachers were left behind, and a large number of instructors who had returned to China after studying abroad were abolished. Speaking of international students, Chai Dongliang has a big head, and most of these people can't even speak. Those who claim to be studying military affairs are all in the "Zhenwu" and other preparatory military academies, and there are only one in ten who have actually attended the army non-commissioned officer school and received formal education.
It is such a group of people, after returning to China, they carried foreign knives, five or six of them became teachers in military schools, and the teachers were all at this level, and the quality of the students can be imagined.
Barnes brought a group of retired officers from Britain, most of whom had served in China, and the Chinese language was so-so, many of whom had participated in the training of the Weihai Weihua Yong Battalion, and had rich experience in training Chinese [***] people with low education.
Chai Dongliang unceremoniously eliminated those incompetent international students, if they were willing to accept the training of British instructors, then they could go back to school, if they were not willing to simply go home and farm.
Yuan Shikai's Yanjing Provisional Political Axe gave Chai Dongliang the establishment of three divisions, originally because of financial problems, Chai Dongliang planned to train two divisions and a mixed brigade, but now he has taken a large amount of money from the American Bethlehem Company, and the financial resources are not a problem, so he plans to simply make up three fully equipped divisions.
After Chai Dongliang came into contact with the Bethlehem Company, he sadly found that the economic strength of this American consortium far exceeded that of the whole province of Anhui under his rule, and he gave $10 million in the first installment of the loan, of which $5 million was given to the Shanghai Guanghua Shipyard, and the rest was used in the machinery factory, military factory, and Wuhu Industrial Park, and then ordered 160 sets of cement equipment for the machine kiln, and casually left a deposit of $2.6 million.
More than 10 million were thrown out, and Bethlehem Steel Company didn't blink an eyelid??? This is not a paper ticket that depreciates every day in the later generations when it is exchanged for RMB 1 to 7, but a dollar on the gold standard! Genuine dollars!
The annual tax revenue of Anhui Province is only more than 27 million silver dollars, less than 10 million US dollars!
Chai Dongliang knows what it means to be rich and rival the country, what it means to be wealthy, and what is the gap in strength!
After the new-style road was repaired, in addition to the mounted police who maintained order, horses were not allowed to ride in Anqing City, and Chai Dongliang and Fang Qingyu were no exception. Several blonde and blue-eyed American priests in black robes directed the workers to keep busy.
Chai Dongliang finally persuaded the American minister Jia Leheng to help lobby the Rockefeller Foundation and the American church to donate money to build a modern medical school and a science and engineering college in Anhui. Jia Leheng is not the master of the loss, and asked Chai Dongliang to protect the church's missionary rights in Anhui and the personal safety of the missionaries, and Chai Dongliang agreed without hesitation. The Rockefeller Foundation originally had a plan to donate a university in China, and was selecting a site across the country, and under the persuasion of Jia Leheng, it promised to build a university in Anhui. The churches in the United States have money, and investing in a public welfare university in China is a piece of cake for them. Moreover, the missionary work of the Church in China is very ineffective, and almost no one of the Chinese intellectual elite and officials believes in foreign religions. Not to mention that the Puritans in the United States could not play well in China, even the old Catholicism was not believed by many people in China.
Hearing that Chai Dongliang was willing to protect the church and missionaries, the church happily agreed to donate. The Bethlehem company also promised to help Chai Dongliang hire professors from the United States.
Chai Dongliang knows the church's thoughts, doesn't he just want to promote Christianity in China! But they never understood that China is an authentic secular country, and religion has always had room to survive only by relying on power. As a country where the Confucian tradition is dominant, even Confucius and his old man do not care about ghosts and gods, and to put it bluntly, even he does not believe in this.
There are basically two kinds of Chinese Christians, one is the ruffian hooligans who rely on the power of the church and foreigners to run rampant, and the other is the "religion-eater", and the poor family can't open the pot and relies on the little millet and yellow flour that the church gives away??? In the real mainstream of society, no one wants to believe in foreign religion. Yu Qiaqing of Shanghai is an Orthodox Christian, and he also played an Andre. Paparovich's Christian name, which is also for the convenience of doing business with the Russians, does not belong to faith at all!
The most vulgar point is that where are the Christians with three wives and four concubines, and who in the upper echelons of China does not have a little wife? Belief? Stop dreaming!
It is wishful thinking for the American church to hope that donating a few universities will allow Christianity to spread widely in China!
Chai Dongliang had contact with the people of the church twice, and he couldn't help but be amused when he saw their troubled appearance??? In China, all religions have to be localized, and cultural aggression is not easy to do in China at all.
You don't see, in China in the 21st century, monks, Taoist priests, nuns, priests, and nuns join hands and sing red songs to praise the 90th anniversary of the founding of the great party.
The university donated by the Rockefeller Foundation is named "Anqing Union Medical College" and is divided into two parts: the college and the teaching hospital, and the junior college donated by the church is named "Jianghuai College of Higher Education" and is divided into three categories: science, engineering, and agriculture. The church has spared no effort to secure funding for foreign educational institutions for the university, and while the university is still under construction, they have won the sponsorship of the University of Missouri for the cardiovascular department of Anqing Union Medical College, Cornell University and Pennsylvania State University for the special sponsorship of the Jianghuai College of Industry and Civil Construction, and others for the special sponsorship of agriculture and chemistry, and so on.
One of the unique advantages of Catholic universities is that they are recognized by prestigious universities all over the world, which makes it much easier for students to study abroad after graduation??? This is something that Chai Dongliang can't do, he can build his own university, but he can't force foreign universities to recognize his qualifications!
Chai Dongliang had to admire the seriousness of the foreign devils, although his brain was a little lacking, but compared to the perfunctory Chinese officials, it was really different, and in order not to arouse the disgust of the Chinese, the curriculum of the church university actually included the content of the four books and five classics. This made Chai Dongliang very satisfied.
No matter who invests in it, as long as it is placed in Anhui, it is Lao Tzu's university, and the talents cultivated will be the backbone of national rejuvenation in the future.
Walking through two streets, it is the Anhui Non-commissioned Officer School, and the guards at the school gate saw Chai Dongliang's "convoy" and saluted together: "Hello principal!" ”
Chai Dongliang waved his hand: "Hello comrades! Then with his hands behind his back, the big man walked into the school with full taste, Fang Qingyu threw the bicycle to the soldiers behind him, and followed him into the school gate.
As soon as he arrived at the field, Chai Dongliang saw more than 100 students lined up in a neat line, standing as straight as a flag gun in a military posture, and saw Chai Dongliang arrive, with Barnes's command: "Stand up!" Everyone stood up and saluted at the same time, their movements were uniform, and everyone's faces were radiant??? Is this still the group of "camp bastards" who didn't stand and sit three months ago?
This is clearly the momentum that only those steel heroes who have won all battles can have!
Chai Dongliang's eyes lit up??? At this moment, he really believed the words of the Englishman Barnes: "Self-esteem is the most powerful force of a soldier!" ”
Great nations are not built by slaves!
