On June 30, 1912 in the Western calendar, the Anhui Council Bureau was very lively, and the councillors were full of joy, as if they were celebrating a festival, and everyone's faces were red with excitement. In fact, not only the Legislative Council, but also the officials of the entire Anhui officialdom, large and small, seem to be celebrating the New Year. The taverns on the street are overcrowded, and the business of the young lady in the Qinglou is also particularly prosperous.

Wuhu Industrial Park shares have paid dividends for the first time!

Originally, after exchanging the land for bonds and stocks, these officials scolded Chai Dongliang's ancestors and eight generations behind their backs, but what they didn't expect was that the stocks that they originally thought were too hard to wipe their butts were really exchanged for real money. The dividends in the first quarter alone exceeded the rent of the land for a year, and the stock with a face value of 100 yuan instantly appreciated by 20%, but no one was willing to make a move, and three days later, it rose to 150 yuan. Officials and parliamentarians are much better informed than the common people, Wuhu Industrial Park is said to be in the gold, such stocks do not know how many heels will be turned over in the future!

In contrast, the bonds paid by the peasants in installments have become a dispensable addition.

The landlords in Anhui were dumbfounded, and everyone was crying with sad faces, especially the kind of big landlords who had thousands of acres of fertile land.

The progressive tax on land began to be levied, and the big landlords found that the income from land rent was not enough to pay the tax, and when they heard that the officials who were forced to exchange land for stocks had made a fortune to a greater or lesser extent, their bowels were even more regretful. Landlords are asking if they can be exempted from paying progressive taxes if they now exchange their land for stocks and bonds. The answer of the officials and parliamentarians is that of course they don't have to pay it in the future, but this time it can't be avoided, who made you not enlightened? If, like those of us, you support the land reform of the Governor, won't you be able to make a small fortune?

The landlords secretly cursed behind their backs, the officials protected each other, the governor's mansion was still towards the officials, and the benefits were still taken away by the officials.

Scolding and scolding, but it is too early to exchange land for bonds and stocks, but this time it is different from the previous time, and the stocks are no longer exchanged according to the face value, but at the market price, which makes the landlords angry enough.

A large amount of land was exchanged for stocks and bonds, and the homeless people who were eager to wear it were finally allocated three to five acres of land that could support their families, and many of them wept silently with the title deed.

The Military Advisory Office immediately informed the peasants who had been allocated land that the Guanghua Bank would provide them with a small interest-free loan of not more than 20 yuan per person, which they could use to buy seeds and agricultural tools. The land price will be paid off in 15 years, and the debts that need to be paid to the landlord in the first year will also be advanced by Guanghua Bank.

Chai Dongliang meant that they would have some food in stock, and they would be a little better.

The ordinary people of Anhui were also rejoicing, and the Military Advisory Office put up a notice with a five-year plan. How much steel production should be reached, how many kilometers of railways and highways to be built are not too attractive to the people, what really makes them excited is that within five years, Anhui will achieve universal six-year compulsory education, and the dolls will not have to spend money to study! Anqing and Wuhu, as pilot projects, will implement a six-year compulsory education system this year, and as long as they have lived in these two cities for five years, their children can study for free and have a lunch at all.

The five-year plan also includes that after the expiration date, all county towns should be connected to electricity, and more than 60 percent of the people in Anhui Province and Jiujiang Prefecture should have electric lights in their homes, and each family should have a table clock, a bicycle and a sewing machine.

These three things will be paid by the Military Advisory Office to the people of Anhui as part of the province's mineral resources income dividends.

Table clocks, bicycles, sewing machines, these foreign gadgets are absolute luxuries in the minds of ordinary people, and they never dreamed that they could have these things at home. Not to mention in Anhui, even in Shanghai and Tianjin, few people can afford to use these.

After five years, every household can have it, and it is not for free, how can the people not be happy? A few catties of rice, sugar, bean paste, and dates distributed during the Dragon Boat Festival made the people's trust in the Military Advisory Office reach its peak. Minerals buried deep in the ground that have never been seen before have a connection with themselves.

For the first time, they felt that the land under their feet also had their own share, and this Republic of China was really different from the Qing Dynasty! No matter how little money is shared, this country is its own.

The merchant took the initiative to go to the tax bureau to pay the tax, and when he saw the patrol police and the soldiers, he pulled it directly into the store, and the whole jar of old wine that had not been opened was stuffed into their arms. The relationship between the military and the people is much better than when they were helping them to work.

After negotiations between the employer and the employee, the working hours of the industrial park were drastically reduced from 14 hours to 9 hours, with two days off per month, and after work, the evening school of the technical school was arranged to study technical and cultural classes. A group of bearded old men held textbooks and read "the beginning of man" with difficulty. They are very attentive to learning technology, and the difference between the income of technicians and apprentices is at least two or three yuan per month!

The Anhui Chamber of Commerce and the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, headed by Wu Jintang in Wuhu and Yu Qiaqing in Shanghai, donated another 50,000 silver dollars to purchase schoolbags and stationery for all primary school students in Anqing and Wuhu. Patrol officers and school teachers also went door-to-door to advise parents of poor families to send their children to school.

These poor people also gritted their teeth and agreed with a smile, and when the children came out of school, they could really change their doors and glorify their ancestors. For this goal, what is it to be a parent and suffer a little more? On the first day of going to school, my parents boiled the eggs that were ready to change the lamp oil at home, and signed thousands of instructions to let them study hard and listen to Mr. 's words, so as not to disappoint the governor's kindness.

The young man of the apprentice shop began to inquire about what the bicycle looked like, and the woman who stayed at home began to talk about how much faster the sewing machine could be compared to needlework by hand, and whether there was no need to tell the time at night with a grandfather clock.

The launch of the five-year plan has pushed Chai Dongliang's prestige to another peak!

The Industrial Bureau of the Military Advisory Office duly launched the Shanghai Guanghua Shipyard Industrial Bond and the Wuhu Industrial Park Stock, with an interest of 5% on the bonds, and the principal and interest will be repaid after three years, and there is no limit on sale. Stocks are limited to 1,000 shares per person, with each share being a Guanghua Bank ticket. The various branches of the Guanghua Bank, which issued the bonds and stocks, were overcrowded, especially the landlords who had just exchanged their land, and even sent domestic slaves to line up overnight, for fear that they would be robbed again.

???? Dividing line ?????

The Anqing South Camp was crowded, and the cadets of the Anqing Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, which Barnes was responsible for training, were playing a football game with the soldiers of the Bruce-trained Commercial Police Corps.

"Quick, quick, boys, rush up and kill them, you can do it, I trust you absolutely!" Barnes said hoarsely.

Bruce instructed the soldiers to retreat: "Hurry up, block a little more, the formation must be tight, and they must not be given a chance to shoot!" ”

The soldiers of the large battalion surrounded the inner and outer three floors, looking at the Western scenery in front of them with great interest.

"More than 20 great boys, go grab a broken guts, and give them one each??? How does this count as winning or losing? ”

"I can't understand the stuff of foreign devils!"

"You two are just talking nonsense, what kind of foreign devil thing is this? Haven't heard anyone talk about "Water Margin"? Our ancestors have been playing for more than a thousand years, and Gao Yu of the Song Dynasty knows it, right? That is to become a captain by kicking a good ball???? They can't kick it, our Chinese ancients are amazing! What kind of mandarin duck crutches, double swallows, that's called a beautiful! ”

"Did the foreign devil learn from us? Aren't they just grandchildren? ”

"These guys are stupid enough, but they are just a thing, and they are engaged in war like war, look at them one by one as if they are facing a great enemy."

"Foreign devils don't have bright brains, and they take everything seriously."

Barnes and Bruce didn't care what others were saying, and they were jumping and yelling on the sidelines, their voices hoarse. The twenty-two people on the field looked solemn, although their skills were extremely bad, and they didn't even understand the rules, they played very seriously, and the cadets of the non-commissioned officer school and the people of the merchant police corps on the field were also doing their best to cheer them up.

Every time a good shot is kicked, there is a cheer and applause, and when the shot goes wide, it is a cry of regret. Gradually, even the Anhui Revolutionary Army, which was watching the excitement, began to applaud them, and many people couldn't help but itch their feet and wanted to go up and try their skills.

After Chai Dongliang finished coding a chapter manuscript in the office on the second floor, he rubbed his dry eyes and stood at the window to watch them play football. If it weren't for the fact that there were still more than 5,000 words left unfinished today, I really wanted to go down and kick two feet in person, how could I say that I was also the main fullback of the school team back then.

Barnes's method of training soldiers is not really special, it is generally to boost the soldiers' self-esteem and competitiveness, and to eat and live with the soldiers, creating a family-like atmosphere. Barnes and Bruce almost never beat or scolded the soldiers, and even when they made mistakes, they would choose to whisper them in private to avoid hurting the soldiers' self-confidence and self-esteem. But when training, a few people who are careful about every detail are never allowed to be perfunctory. After the soldiers received them psychologically, they began to desperately inculcate the concept of soldiers' professional ethics and other concepts.

After that, a lot of collective confrontation projects were carried out to enhance the soldiers' sense of community and honor. After a period of time, the initial results have been achieved, and the sloppy energy of the soldier is gone, replaced by a strong desire to win.

After looking at the scenery outside for a while, Chai Dongliang felt that the dryness in his eyes had subsided a lot, so he continued to code. For Chai Dongliang, 5,000 words is an hour and a half of work.

When it was time for dinner, the ball game outside was over, and Chai Dongliang was finished. After pressing the send button, he opened the book friend group.

"Tangyuan is big, you haven't been here for a long time!"

"Tangyuan, what do I want?"

"Tangyuan, you haven't been able to update it recently!"

Everyone greeted each other and expressed dissatisfaction with Chai Dongliang's update speed. Chai Dongliang giggled and bragged to everyone.

"Tang Yuan, you can't do it, it's been so long, and I haven't seen you explode equipment." The book friend solemnly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Chai Dongliang said perfunctorily: "This is ready to explode equipment, and the aircraft carrier and nuclear bomb will explode together." ”

Iron Blooded Knife was obviously dissatisfied with this answer: "Don't be sloppy, the name of your book is "Xinhai Supercomputer", then it must be a stream of science and technology, and you can't always spin around in politics, right?" ”

Chai Dongliang couldn't cry or laugh, different times and different world feelings are absolutely different, he just went through more than half a year, built Wuhu Industrial Park, machine kiln cement orders have reached nearly 100 sets, single machine is more than 1,000 units, the contract amount is close to 50 million, and the three-core socket is also sold very well. Shanghai Guanghua Iron and Steel Company smelted the first furnace of manganese steel, and China's iron and steel industry reached a new level.

But book lovers don't have this patience, and the vast majority of readers don't understand manufacturing at all, they think it's as simple as developing industry and playing games and explosive equipment. As everyone knows, even in the 21st century, China needs to import a large number of high-strength bolts and springs every year. It is said that the compression of the spring made by this 100,000 times does not affect the surname Neng, and many Chinese goods are finished after 5,000 times. It is not that manufacturers cut corners, but that China's raw material industry, represented by the steel industry, is too far behind the world's advanced level.

If it weren't for the information given by Ma Xiaobraid, Chai Dongliang would have been willing to spend money, and it would take at least ten years of hard work to make special steel that can be used to produce guns.

Except for Ma Xiaobraid in the book friend group, no one understands machinery and metallurgy anymore, but it's a pity that this guy has been busy going abroad recently, and he is always not online, and Chai Dongliang can't find him if he wants to help.

"Tang Yuan is big, why don't you build an airplane? At the time of the Xinhai Revolution, Feng Ru had already returned to China! Ma Xiaobraid's crush Avril gave Chai Dongliang a window shake.

Chai Dongliang patted his head, yes! Rather than being entangled in the need for cannons and machine guns that require a very high level of metallurgical industry, it is better to build an airplane for convenience, at most the engine is temporarily imported!

Although he doesn't know how to run airplanes, he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs run, and if Feng has experience in designing airplanes, combined with his own knowledge, wouldn't he be able to make China lead the world in the air force field in a short period of time?

"Help me find out where Feng Ru is." In Chai Dongliang's memory, Feng Ru seems to have just returned to China, and he was wrecked in an air show and died at that time.

"Great, Feng Ru is either in Nanjing or Guangzhou??? If you want to find him, hurry up, he will fall to his death on the fourth of August! "The Iron Blood Crazy Knife is estimated to have just Baidu Feng Ru's information.

Chai Dongliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there is still more than a month, it is completely too late!
