After receiving a request from the Rashid family, the East China Chamber of Commerce reported the request.

"Headmaster, that Rashid family is going to help again!" Zhu Xiaocheng called Xia Jun's office, Xia Jun was hiding alone in the office to write songs and compose music, of course, this is to continue his great plagiarism career, and he is going to open a record company recently!

Xia Jun picked up the phone and listened to Zhu Xiaocheng's report, and asked with interest: "What do they want us to help?" ”

"It's food, it's ammunition." Zhu Xiaocheng said: "This time they have a big appetite, and they want us to receive 150,000 tons of grain and 5 million rounds of ammunition. ”

"Headmaster, I don't think we need to spend so much money on them." Zhu Xiaocheng is obviously not very willing to take over the Rashid family.

"You don't understand, it's a good thing that they want to help!" Xia Jun smiled, "We don't have food, we have more bullets." ”

"How can it be a good thing...... Zhu Xiaocheng was confused and asked puzzled.

"If they want to help, then we can take the opportunity to raise conditions, or even control their army, rent their port or something......" Xia Jun gave Zhu Xiaocheng a lesson, and he, the minister of foreign affairs, was still a little tender.

After listening to this, Zhu Xiaocheng thought for a long time and said, "Principal, I understand what you mean, but is that place where birds don't worth us so much?" ”

"There's oil there, that's black gold." Xia Jun said, "Controlling oil is equivalent to controlling the future economic lifeline, this investment is still worth it, we only use hundreds of thousands of tons of grain in exchange for the world's economic lifeline, do you say it's worth it?" ”

"Oil!!"

"Alright, you go talk to them!" Xia Jun said to Zhu Xiaocheng, then hung up the phone and continued to write his score, he didn't plagiarize too much, just copied a few songs.

In this day and age, records can be filled with water.

A good title song, plus two or three songs with a good melody, and other songs can be completely watered, so they can still sell.

Previously, part of the production capacity of the tape recorder manufacturing plant invested by Xia Jun has been put into production, and the temporary production capacity is still too large, but the emergence of tape tape recorders has changed the model of record companies.

At this time, the record used the kind of rotating, a turntable made of shellac, and the production area of shellac is mainly in India, and the production is not too large, so the price is relatively expensive. The turntable is also relatively easy to break, and the sound is not so clear.

Anyway, with all its shortcomings, the advent of the tape recorder changed the situation, and people could hear the sound clearly with a single touch.

Because Xia Jun exchanged for a relatively mature tape recorder technology, the tape would not explode during welding, and the tape production technology was relatively simple, and East China Petrochemical Company could produce it.

Singer?

There are hundreds of people in the conservatory of music in East China University, just pull a few good-looking people out of it, and most of the students in the singing department are passable in singing, and they mainly sang military songs before.

This time, Xia Jun wrote several songs, including "Loyal to the Country", "Dream Camel Bell", "One Cut Plum", and "Republic of China".

What era to write what songs, this era should be dominated by patriotic theme songs, entertainment songs can be a few years later, now the market is not very large, and there is no market for entertainment songs.

Needless to say, the three songs of "Serving the Country with Loyalty", "Dream Camel Bell", and "One Cut Plum" are all songs that people in later generations are very familiar with.

As for the song "Republic of China", few people know, but this song was adapted into "The Chinese Nation" in later generations, and it is one of the more classic songs in the Republic of China.

Lyrics - the grassland of Qinghai, you can't see it at a glance.

The Himalayas, where the peaks are connected to the horizon.

Ancient saints and sages built their homes here.

Hit by the wind and rain, it stands for 5,000 years.

Republic of China, Republic of China!

Stand the test.

As long as the water of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River continues; Republic of China, Republic of China!

Forever, forever.

Xia Jun currently plagiarizes most of the patriotic songs, and the melodies are also very classic, and these songs can be divided into two, three or even four records.

After writing a song, Xia Jun came to the School of Music of East China University that day.

"The headmaster is here, the headmaster is here." As soon as Xia Jun walked into the conservatory, the academy suddenly became lively, Xia Jun waved to the students with his smile and said, "Students, how are you studying recently?" ”

"We're all trying to learn." The students in the classroom replied with a laugh in unison.

"Well, that's good, students have to keep up the good work." Xia Jun nodded, walked up to the podium, and said, "Today I will give a music lesson to my classmates. ”

Xia Jun will have music lessons?

Embarrassment!

In fact, Xia Jun is really on it, in order to engage in those military songs before, he didn't learn music knowledge when he was fine, and he already had some foundation, and his progress was huge.

He doesn't teach basic skills in music lessons, Xia Jun's basic skills are not very good, but he talks about music theory and so on, which no one can compare to him.

Because Xia Jun often makes guest appearances as a teacher in various colleges of East China University, he has also formed his mature teaching style, with the active thinking of a later 21st century youth, and his classes are the most popular among students, because it is very funny to listen to the principal's lectures.

After class, Xia Jun called out a student named Zhao Zhongqi, Zhao Zhongqi is a young man from Shandong, he is very tall, and his appearance is also very good, he happens to be in the singing department, and it is very suitable for him to be pushed out of the record, so there must be a market.

Zhao Zhongqi learned that the principal wanted him to sign with East China Records, and he was very excited to agree.

…… Xia Jun, the chairman of the committee who is not doing his job, often went to the East China Record Company to check the recording situation in the next few days, and Zhao Zhongqi performed well, although he was still a little immature in terms of singing skills, but there was no problem in the recording studio.

At the same time, Xia Jun also ran to the crew, and the filming of "Bandit War" of East China Studio went quite smoothly, although it is said that because the actors' acting skills are not very good, and the director's experience is not very high, it is relatively film-burning, but the production cost is very low, and even the leading actors get medium salaries.

Director Su Ziyi decided to make the film more pathetic, so he adopted the second plan.

At the end of July, Xia Jun asked his father-in-law in the industrialists' club: "Father-in-law, how is your film company doing?" ”

"I heard the director say that it will be finished in half a month." Li Shilin said with a smile, Liu Jinshan on the side stretched his ears, heard Li Shilin say that it was going to be finished, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lao Li." ”

"Lao Liu, how did you shoot "True Love"?" Li Shilin asked proudly.

"Huh! Girls will naturally do things slower, but they will be finished in seven or eight days. Liu Jinshan said.

"Chairman, I'm also going to open a film company, do you have any equipment?" Huang Ruisheng, a big capital businessman representing the Longyou Merchant Gang, listened to it on the side, and asked Xia Jun in a low voice.

Xia Jun nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the equipment will arrive next month." ”

"Thank you, Chairman." Huang Ruisheng hurriedly thanked.

Not everyone is optimistic about the new thing of movies, and there are not many people in the industrialists club who are willing to be the first to eat crabs, but Xia Jun is destined to succeed.

Because Xia Jun has opened nearly 300 movie theaters in the three provinces of East China, so many movie theaters are enough for film shooting to recover the cost.

The movie Qian Xiajun is not very rare, and the most important thing is the publicity and educational effect.

When urbanization reaches a certain level in the future, in addition to radio, it will be movies, and these two things can best educate the people and help to improve cohesion.

Of course, Xia Jun does not allow those studios to make some messy movies, and does not allow studios to have movie theaters, because this will promote monopoly.

As for the fact that he himself has both a studio and a movie theater, that is a special case, and he is the chairman of the committee, so it is naturally a special case, and besides, he does not have a monopoly on films.

…… Xia Jun was relatively safe in July due to his points investment, and the press didn't see him investing everywhere to make money.

This month, Xia Jun focused on the training of officers.

The third enrollment of East China University has been two months old, but a large number of students have been recruited.

In this enrollment, Xia Jun set up a 'command college', which only recruits female students, who mainly study command in battlefield communications in the command academy, and will serve in the command headquarters after graduation.

Xia Jun inadvertently glanced at the enrollment list of the third Army Academy, as if he saw a very familiar name, and when he fixed his eyes, there was a name called 'Zhang Zizhong'.

Zhang Zizhong!

Could it be the general Zhang Zizhong in history?

Zhang Zizhong is a general of the Republic of China that Xia Jun admires.

Zhang Zizhong, Han nationality, is a native of Tangyuan Village, Linqing, Shandong. He was martyred as a lieutenant general of the Republic of China with the rank of general, and was posthumously awarded the rank of second-class general of the army after his death. He was also the highest general of the Allied Powers in World War II.

Zhang Zizhong was born at the end of the 19th century, when China was in the midst of internal and external troubles. The Qing court was mediocre [***], the country was extremely weak, and the frenzy of the great powers to carve up China was higher and higher; In 1894, the Qing army was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War. Four years later, the Wuxu Restoration Movement, which aimed to save the country and survive, also failed with the murder of the six gentlemen of Wuxu. In 1900, the people of Shandong took the lead in setting off the Boxer Rebellion to "help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreigners". The Luxi area, including Linqing, became the birthplace and one of the centers of activity of the Boxer Rebellion. Although the Boxer Rebellion struck a blow at foreign invaders, this spontaneous and chaotic peasant movement with no organization and no program could save China from peril. Under the joint suppression of the Eight-Power Alliance, the Boxer Rebellion also failed, and the Chinese people fell into an even more miserable and miserable situation.

Zhang Zizhong's teenage years were spent in such a dark era. This background had a profound impact on his upbringing.

Three years later, his father Zhang Shugui went to Ganyu, Jiangsu Province to take up the post of inspector and brought Zizhong with him. In 1905, Zhang Shugui was the acting governor of Ganyu County because of his good political achievements, and he was promoted to five official ranks. At this time, Zhang Zizhong was fourteen years old and had grown into a heroic teenager. The deep mansion compound of the Ganyu County Ya can no longer shut down the active self-loyalty. As soon as he was free, he slipped out the door and wandered around. One day, he wandered down the street and saw a scoundrel bullying two old men selling vegetables. He didn't say a word, he rushed over and punched the scoundrel, and the two of them scuffled. Although Zizhong is young, he is tall and powerful, and the scoundrel has to admit defeat when he sees that he is not defeated by his opponent, and admits his mistake to the old man, so Zizhong let him go. Zhang Shugui saw that his son had grown up and was not at ease to study, so he sent Zizhong back to his hometown in Linqing. Unexpectedly, not long after Zizhong returned to Linqing, bad news came from Ganyu: his father died of illness. When his father died, the whole family was saddened, and he was even more sad that he did not honor his father well.

After Zhang Shugui's death, his wife Feng became the head of the family. Although Feng has never studied, he is well-versed, capable, and has a good way of governing his family and children, and is very respected by his children. At the turn of winter and spring, the kind-hearted Mrs. Feng always took out food and cotton cloth to help the poor villagers, and won the love of the villagers. Due to the early death of his father, Zhang Zizhong's growth was actually more influenced by his mother.

After returning to Linqing, Zhang Zizhong continued to study in a private school. He is still very naughty and does not feel at ease with his studies. At this time, he played more tricks, first learned to ride a donkey, then to ride a horse, and often went out hunting with the youth. He finds joy in this brave, adventurous game, sometimes not returning home for days on end.

Generosity and compassion for the weak are the characteristics of Zhang Zizhong's surname that he revealed when he was a teenager. According to the villagers' recollections, when he was two or three years old, his mother always tied a small pocket around his chest and filled it with peanuts and candy and other food. As soon as Zizhong saw his friends, he grabbed a lot of peanuts and candies for them to eat, until they were all gone. When he grew up, sometimes he gambled with his partners and played for money, and he didn't want any money from the poor when he won it, but if he was a rich child, he was unceremonious and couldn't lose anything.

He grew up in a wealthy family and never had to worry about food and clothing, but some tenants in the village ate bran and ate vegetables, and his family was poor. Zhang Zizhong couldn't bear it, and often brought white-flour steamed buns from home to exchange for other people's chaff nests. In order to take care of the other party's self-esteem, he repeatedly said that he loved to eat chaff and never put on a charity look. When he met a pear and peach seller on the street, he often wrapped the whole basket and let everyone eat it all, and then begged his mother for money to pay the bill. Someone in the family blamed him, but he said nonchalantly: "People can't afford it, so what is it if we give a little to someone to eat?"

In 1907, 16-year-old Zhang Zizhong was in charge of his mother and married 17-year-old Li Minhui, the daughter of Li Huanan, a member of the Linqing County Consultative Bureau.

After getting married, Zhang Zizhong gradually became mature, increased his sense of responsibility for his family, and began to study hard. In 1908, he was admitted to the Linqing Higher Primary School. At that time, the higher primary school was equivalent to today's secondary school. Here, the old school is still based on the Four Books and the Five Classics, but it is more systematic than the private school. It can be said that Zhang Zizhong began to accept the influence of the old school since he was sensible, and the influence of his father and the education of the school are all the same as the way of Confucius and Mencius, so the old morality of emphasizing loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness has been deeply rooted in Zhang Zizhong's heart since he was a child. In addition to studying, Zhang Zizhong often borrowed some novels to read for recreation. His favorite ones are "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Speaking of Tang" and "Speaking of Yue Jingzhong". These classical masterpieces made living annotations on traditional morality, and he was fascinated and sincerely admired by Guan Yunchang, Yue Wumu, and Qin Shubao for their loyalty and chivalry.

In the summer of 1910, Zhang Zizhong graduated from the Higher Primary School, and his youth was over.

After Zhang Zizhong went to Tianjin University of Law and Politics, and then to Shandong School of Law and Politics, after the end of the Xinhai Revolution, he abandoned his pen and joined Feng Yuxiang's army.

Why did Zhang Zizhong come to East China University? In addition, is it really the peerless brave general, who was evaluated as the first of the top ten famous generals of the Republic of China, and was misunderstood as Han Annihilation by the black pot many times?

Xia Jun couldn't wait to pick up the phone and ask someone to notify the person named Zhang Zizhong to come to the principal's office.

About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in." Xia Jun raised his head and shouted.

The door was pushed open, and a young man in his twenties walked in, and when Xia Jun saw his face, he immediately recognized it, it was indeed the general Zhang Zizhong in history.

Right now...... became his own student.

Of course, the two are about the same age, and even Zhang Zizhong is a year older than him, Xia Jun, the principal, is indeed a little awkward.

"Headmaster, are you looking for me?" Zhang Zizhong entered the office and immediately saw a very young person sitting in it, and sure enough, as people said, the principal was very young!

"Hmm!" Xia Jun nodded, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Sit." ”

"Thank you." Zhang Zizhong sat down, looked at the chairman in front of him, who was younger than himself, and didn't know what to do with himself.

Xia Jun poured Zhang Zizhong a cup of tea, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, a little disorderly, and asked him: "Xun Chen, how long have you been in Hangzhou?" ”

"Thirteen days a month." Zhang Zizhong replied.

"How does it feel?" Xia Jun looked at this national hero who would have been a lieutenant general of the Republic of China in history and asked, his appearance obviously disrupted history, what will he grow up to be in the future, who knows.

But now that he has come to his door, Xia Jun naturally wants to avoid the tragedy in history.

In history, Zhang Zizhong was misunderstood as a Han annihilation and was criticized by public opinion, so he came up with the idea of dying to make his will clear, and finally he died on the battlefield.

It was the young man in front of him, in the original history, who formed a broadsword team under the situation of inferior equipment, causing great damage to the devil. As for the party's 'big knife to cut off the devil's head', it is the plagiarism of Zhang Zizhong's deeds.

"The students feel good, this is my ideal country." Zhang Zizhong thought for a while and replied that the East China Autonomous Government was kind to the people, which was very agreeable to Zhang Zizhong, who was sympathetic to the poor people, but he was also deeply confused in his heart. Zhang Zizhong opened his mouth and said in a half-loud voice: "But the students are also confused, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"Say it! Our three autonomous provinces in East China are a place where we can speak freely. Xia Jun nodded and said.

"According to the students' knowledge, the three autonomous provinces of East China have the strongest military force in China, why should they compromise with Yuan Shikai?" Zhang Zizhong expressed the confusion in his heart.

"Your confusion is also the confusion of many people, and many people have also asked me this question, especially the top of the military." Xia Jun nodded, and said to Zhang Zizhong without any impatience: "Our East China Autonomous Political Axe does have the strongest force in China, and we can manufacture the world's most advanced rifles, machine guns, and aircraft, as well as cannons and shells. If we fight with the Beiyang political axe, we will be able to remove Yuan Shikai from power within half a month, and we will be able to unify the whole of China within a year.

But this will only make the situation worse, because China is not simply a revolution and a counter-revolution, even if it is a revolutionary, it is still obsessed with power. And drastic changes will change a lot of things, for example, the political axes of the three provinces in East China that you see now, they are very clean, but if we unify China at once, how many qualified administrators do we have? At that time, it will still be a group of corrupt officials who eat the common people to come to power.

In addition, the Xinhai Revolution is not as simple as it seems, we have to consider the danger from abroad, and if the north and the south continue to fight, it is very likely that the British will give up intervening in the country, and when the time comes, we will invade China, although we have trained nearly 200,000 militia in Fujian before, and although we will not be defeated in a fight with the capital, the losses will also be very heavy.

The reason why we stopped expanding was because we lacked young people like you, and if we had enough people at that time, we might have occupied another province, but we didn't have anyone at that time, and we needed people everywhere, administratively, medically, educationally, and even more industrially.

Now, the three autonomous provinces of East China are in the initial stage, and many things must be perfected before expanding outward. There is a saying that if you take too big a step, you will fall on your heels, and sometimes bigger is not always better. Occupying too much territory will only make the interior scattered, and it will be difficult to correct it when the time comes, and now, we are not building a united interior, so that the people of the three provinces can live a good life, let them support us, let the administrators of the three provinces remain clean, and then transplant it to other provinces with such a habitual surname, which is far more important than anything else, and the future of a country is ruined by corruption. ”

"Then why should our East China Autonomous Political Axe be subordinated to Yuan Shikai?" What Zhang Zizhong couldn't understand the most was this, this was a political axe that he agreed with, far more than the revolutionary thought of Sun Yat-sen that he had been exposed to before, and what puzzled him was the political attitude of the three provinces of East China's autonomy.

"Infighting will only allow outsiders to take advantage, when you have absolute strength, in the face of a government that is much smaller than your own strength, there is no need to be domineering, that will only cause the other side to resist and not cooperate, and subservience can dominate the situation. Just like Yuan Shikai's previous big loan for the aftermath, the conditions of the Six Nations Bank are harsh, but the cooperation between Beiyang and East China can defeat the alliance of the Six Nations Bank and let them borrow according to our Chinese terms.

In addition, China needs a stable situation at present, not only to give the three provinces of East China a stable development, but also to give China's 40,000 people a time to think. Xia Jun replied, then smiled, and asked Zhang Zizhong: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask!" ”

Ordinary student Xia Jun is too lazy to spend so much saliva, but Zhang Zizhong is a top talent, although he doesn't know what history will evolve into, but since he sits in this position, he naturally has to train him well.

What time has ———— changed? I can't remember the dishes clearly, anyway, it's ten thousand seventeen, and the eggs are about to be broken, and I have never written so much like today.
