Chapter 32: Emotions are stable

"Students, students, be quiet, be quiet." Seeing that they were emotional, Xia Jun hurriedly stood up, and these students and teachers also quieted down when they saw a young man in a military uniform standing up.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am the head of the Jianzhou Security Corps, our security corps is in urgent need of all kinds of talents, Liu Jinshan really did not deceive everyone, the school is not a problem, the head of the regiment immediately allocated funds to let people build a school." Xia Jun said loudly.

"What about the teaching equipment?" A teacher in his thirties asked.

"The equipment is not a problem, what equipment do you want, the head of this group will meet your needs within half a month until you are satisfied." Xia Jun waved his hand emptyly, just the equipment, what's the big deal, it's not just two clicks to solve the problem.

"I've prepared a banquet for everyone to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and everyone will sit down first." Xia Jun continued, a group of people were indeed hungry, and when they saw that more than a dozen tables of sumptuous wine banquets had been set up, they took their seats one after another.

At the banquet, Liu Jinshan introduced Xia Jun to Xia Jun, and most of the people present were students, so there was no need to introduce them. Among the special talents introduced by Liu Jinshan, there is an engineer named Xu Wenbo, who studied civil engineering and has just returned from studying in France. This made Xia Jun overjoyed, what he lacks now is this kind of talent, if this Xu Wenbo really has some ability, then he can be handed over to him to preside over road repairs and bridges in the future.

Xia Jun hurriedly toasted Xu Wenbo, and then Liu Jinshan pointed to a young man who was about the same age as Xia Jun and looked to be in his early twenties.

"This is Chen Yuxuan, a graduate of the Tianjin Army Lecture Martial Arts Hall, who was later sent to the German [***] school for further study, and it has been more than half a year since he returned to China." Liu Jinshan said.

"Head Xia, it's an honor to come to Xixiang." Chen Yuxuan picked up the wine glass and got up and said to Xia Jun.

He originally thought that it was just a small security corps, and it was estimated that he would not be able to get on the stage, but since he was offering such a high salary to hire talents, he could go and take a look.

It's just that he just saw the soldiers of the security regiment on the road wearing neat military uniforms and holding unified weapons, and he was very amazed in his heart. I didn't expect this Jianzhou security regiment to be so regularized.

It is also sad to say that Chen Xuanyu graduated from the Tianjin Army Lecture Hall, and then was sent to Germany for further study, and was originally going to serve in the new army.

However, since Tieliang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came to power, he changed Yuan Shikai's regulations, as long as he was a student from this country and not a German student.

Yuan Shikai is a person who is very good at winning people's hearts, when he was training the new army, he invited those German students everywhere, and he was courteous and not stingy in money, so Yuan Shikai had a very high status in the minds of those German students.

Tie Liang's approach was to attack Yuan Shikai's influence in the army, but Tie Liang's method had no effect on Yuan Shikai at all. Yuan Shikai, who is now living in seclusion at home, whether it is an officer from the old department or a foreign student, he will send a pair of gold bars, according to the words of his eldest son Yuan Keding, it is: "The wealth of the world is scattered and the people of the world are scattered, and the world will fall into your hands." ”

Because he couldn't enter the new army, Chen Xuanyu had no choice but to stay at home, Liu Jinshan went to Jiangsu to see him this time, Chen Xuanyu was forced by the pressure of life, and followed Liu Jinshan to Fujian.

Unlike those students, he didn't care if there was a school here, and when he saw the mental outlook of the Jianzhou Security Corps, he had a vague sense of being in the middle of the place.

Xia Jun was overjoyed, there was a contemporary professional officer who entered the security regiment, and he would be much more relaxed in the future, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what subject Senior Brother Chen is studying." ”

"It's the Infantry Section." Chen Xuanyu replied.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later." Xia Jun toasted him with a glass of wine and continued to listen to Liu Jinshan's introduction.

Among the voters brought by Liu Jinshan this time, there were a total of 300 middle school students, 68 college students, 6 university teachers, and 32 middle school teachers.

The six university teachers are all science and engineering, and one of them is a university teacher named Wu Bingkong, who returned to China to teach after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and he specializes in electricity. There is also a teacher named Dong Xinjie who is also an international student and studies metallurgy.

The arrival of these talents can be regarded as a solution to Xia Jun's urgent need, and he couldn't help but smile at the banquet.

Liu Jinshan saw that Xia Jun was happy, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the last time he entered the freight to Jiangsu, he immediately began to collect these people everywhere, he first looked for the science and engineering talents that Xia Jun specially explained, but Liu Jinshan didn't pay much attention to this aspect before after all, and only found science and engineering talents in engineering and metallurgy.

In addition, the Western doctor that Xia Jun confessed didn't have time to look for it, but after selling this month's goods, he had money left in hand, and he could hire someone to find it.

After the banquet, Xia Jun sent them to rest, and then dealt with Liu Jinshan about the payment.

"Lao Liu, you did a good job this time, I will waive half of the payment for you this time." Xia Jun said to Liu Jinshan, Liu Jinshan was so happy, he didn't expect Xia Jun to be so generous, half of the payment was tens of thousands of silver dollars!

Xia Jun patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you can find more people for me next time, I will give you a free ride." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, okay, good." Liu Jinshan couldn't stop smirking when he heard it.

……

May 10, 1910.

Xia Jun checked the people brought by Liu Jinshan in Longcun, and after finding no abuse, he offered these teachers high salaries.

Xu Wenbo, Wu Bingkong, and Dong Xinjie were hired as professors of Jianzhou University, with a temporary monthly salary of 300 yuan, and Chen Xuanyu was hired as the dean of the Army College of Jianzhou Army University, also with a monthly salary of 300 yuan, and Xia Jun was personally appointed as the president.

The other three university teachers, who were not foreign students, gave them 100 silver dollars a month.

This salary is indeed higher, but it is not as generous as those who are parents and officials, and not as generous as Yuan Shikai, who lives in seclusion at home, but Yuan Shikai's target is only for military officers, and those talents in science and engineering, if they want to get such a high salary elsewhere, it is simply a dream.

Jianzhou University is indeed not suitable for a place like Xixiang, but Xia Jun does not currently occupy the county seat, so he can only be in this kind of place.

So I only plan to build a temporary school in Saigo, so I don't need a fancy school building or anything.

Therefore, Xu Wenbo began to design the university building, as well as the warehouse in Xixiang, and the school and warehouse were handed over to Xu Wenbo to preside over the construction.

Xia Jun wants a lot of warehouses to put oil, grain, ordnance, and fertilizer......

At the same time, Xia Jun handed over the production of the steel plant to Dong Xinjie to preside over, while Wu Bingkong and Xu Wenbo were responsible for the construction of the hydropower station. Now that factories are opening one after another, the demand for electricity has also increased.

With these talents, Xia Jun only needs to exchange the equipment, and they will preside over the construction.

In terms of Jianzhou University, Xia Jun allocated 100,000 taels of silver dollars as education funds, and Jianzhou University is divided into two colleges: the College of Science and Technology and the Army College.

Xia Jun served as the principal, although he was a little younger, he still took up his post without blushing and heartbeat.

In terms of the teaching equipment required by the university, Xia Jun redeemed it from the system on the third day after getting the list, and even exchanged some high-end experimental equipment that was not in the list.

The things in the list are really not too high-end things, and the exchange prices are so cheap that Xia Jun simply exchanged some high-end ones.

After receiving the equipment and receiving a three-month subsidy, the mood of the more than 360 students who came to Xixiang was very stable, although Jianzhou University was only a shell university, there was no school, and there were not enough teachers. However, the hardware strength is extremely strong, and some equipment that only foreign universities have can also be obtained by the president.

And the treatment is also there, and the science and engineering majors are given such a high salary, which is not available in domestic universities. They can all see that the president really wants to run the school, so Jianzhou University will definitely be able to improve it in the future.

Xu Wenbo was shocked when he saw the construction machinery owned by the security team.

Crawler hydraulic excavator, the most advanced foreign or steam excavator, the kind of steam excavator practical surname is relatively low, and the security regiment has a hydraulic excavator, but it is very efficient.

Wu Xinjie was also shocked, electric converter steelmaking method? Steelmaking with pure oxygen? Isn't that something that is still theoretically envisioned?

Wu Bingkong, who studied electricity, was even more shocked that there were three small hydropower stations in a small Xixiang, and the power generation equipment was more advanced than he imagined.

If there is one thing that shocks people the most, it is the transportation aspect of Saigo.

There are a lot of tractors in Xixiang, and since the expansion of the administrative territory, the total number of tractors exchanged by Xia Jun has exceeded 800.

There are so many tractors, transporting things every day, even if you can't see such a scene abroad.

A small Saigo, in the eyes of this group of students and returnees who have returned from studying abroad, Saigo has become strange to the point of novelty, and their emotions have gradually stabilized.
