[These two plots are foreshadowing, a little verbose, the brothers make do with it, hehe]

Sun Fu smiled and said, "Gale Wind, the governor's scolding of you is also for your good, you should quickly think about how to explain to the adult!" ”

Qin Kai smiled, he couldn't touch the north at this time, what to explain......

These days are busy in the various research teams around, part of the chemical plant has been built, Xu Guofang with a group of people soaked in the factory every day, the chemical reactor, absorption tower and other big guys are constantly on the horse to complete, with hydraulic presses, stamping machines and air hammers, large processing is more handy.

Qin Kai is most worried about safety, these are all talents that he has painstakingly recruited and cultivated, so he insists on solving all kinds of problems on the spot, he doesn't want to make an accident of reactor explosion and chemical gas leakage, so he hasn't figured out what Old Man Ding is looking for him until now.

The two came to the yamen, Lao Ding was still holding a few rare books of the Ming Dynasty in a refreshed manner, shaking his head and looking at it, seeing Qin Kai coming in, his eyes pointed to the table, and the old treacherous smiled cunningly, "Gale Wind, you caused me this matter, then you help me settle Luo!" I guess that Governor Zhang will also look for you when I turn around, and the relationship between Governor Zhang and Governor Zhang Zhidong is also good! ”

Sun Fu heard inexplicably below, this Qin Liefeng can really toss, and suddenly made the two great talents in the world make trouble, and when Qin Kai took the telegram, he hurriedly went up and glanced at it, there were not many words on it, "Brother Yusheng, I recently heard that you have a new foreign cloth loom and printing and dyeing cloth technology, and I hope to supply Jiangnan weaving to solve the difficulty of loss." ”

Qin Kai figured out the taste at this time, it turned out that the business of the Jiangnan Machinery Qì Weaving Bureau was due to the cotton price war, and the income dropped significantly, but the cost of this weaving bureau was estimated to be more expensive than that of the foreign cloth of the Japanese Kingdom, and it must have lost money now. After thinking about it, this has been a price war for more than three months, and little Japan has been lying down, and this Beiyang has a reaction, this efficiency ......

Seeing that Qin Kai didn't speak, Ding Richang carefully put down the Ming Dynasty rare book in his hand and asked: "Gale Wind, this matter has something to do with you, I don't know where they inquired about it, our Mawei Shipmaster can have this ability, and it's you!" ”

Qin Kai smiled, changed his face to a kind face, arched his hand and said: "My lord, you can guess what I do, this machine is indeed made by the Artillery Bureau, isn't this earning some income to subsidize the craftsmen, how do you think I should talk to them from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau?" I'm not familiar with anyone! ”

Sun Fu interjected beside him, "Gale Wind, this matter is really related to you, some time ago, I heard that the price of foreign cloth at our Fuzhou port has fallen sharply, and that is what you did?" ”

"Master Sun, I have the time to work on that, the lord told me that I can't be busy with the work of making steel and making cannons, this loom is made in the cannon bureau, and the raw materials and dyeing machine of the dyed cloth are also made by the cannon bureau, but I haven't tinkered with a piece of cloth!" Qin Kai sat down with a harmless appearance of humans and animals, and smiled.

Ding Richang has already figured out what is going on at this time, you Qin Kai didn't do anything, so you provided the blades and guns, and let a group of businessmen go up and fight with foreign cloth merchants! This Qin Liefeng is really a seed to cause trouble, but he naturally understands that this is a great thing for domestic businessmen and people, which makes him think about it.

"Gale Wind, I told you everything, Lord Li Zhongtang's side, I will write a private letter, and you will send someone...... Or ask Sun Fu to go and let me know about this, but I can't blame you for this," Ding Richang couldn't help but smile slightly when he said this.

Qin Kai is not to blame for this, this is naturally what Old Man Ding said when he protected his family, but seeing Old Man Ding's smile, Qin Kai was frightened, the old man thought of something again, let's withdraw first with thirty-six plans, and hurriedly said, "My lord, then I will go down and discuss with Lord Sun about ......."

"Slow, it's not a big deal, I still have something to ask you," Ding Richang smiled, "Gale, I heard that the price of this cotton cloth has fallen by more than half, the toothpaste industry business you gave me last time, the old man thinks that it is really beneficial to the country and the people, your cotton cloth business, can you make the people of Fuzhou also share some dividends?" ”

When Qin Kai heard this, Ding Tieji covered his money bag tightly, he never forgot the great cause of benefiting one party for the first term of office, this cotton cloth business is a big industry and big investment, how can the common people do it, but it seems that he doesn't want to come up with a way, Old Man Ding has to make himself annoyed. ,

He pondered for a while with the teacup, isn't it a garment factory that cotton can do, but this is still a big investment industry, but ...... This gave him a lot of inspiration, but he didn't know if this industry could have a large enough sales in this era, and the clothing problem of these 40,000 people was a labor-intensive industry that was even larger than the weaving industry.

"My lord, I thought of a big industry, but I don't know if it's feasible," Qin Kai arched his hand, and he was a little sure in his heart.

"Oh, tell the old man about it," Ding Richang suddenly became interested when he heard the words "big industry".

"This food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothes are naturally for everyone to wear, and now this is all done in the tailor shop, and I can't make two pieces in one day. In fact, this kind of clothes can also be made by the machine, Tessie's France has been out of the machine to speed up the making of clothes decades ago, but the machine is not perfect enough, if we can design such a machine, to produce clothes with cheap cotton, this is a promising industry! ”

Qin Kai didn't bother to explain the classification of the clothing industry, just these ordinary clothes with the surname Bai are enough to create a huge market, not to mention those high-end clothes.

Ding Richang naturally understood, those rare books of the Ming Dynasty also temporarily lost their attractiveness, stood up and turned around a few times, and said happily, "This move is very good, very good, if the price of clothes is cheap, I can mobilize the squires of Fuzhou Mansion to buy these ready-to-wear clothes, and protect the people under the rule from the cold, gale wind, I know that you have a lot of ideas, and even win my heart!" Win my heart! ”

"My lord, then I'll retire first, this matter is just a rush to make a mistake, it will take some effort!"

"It's okay, you can arrange it for Gale," Ding Richang was satisfied, and suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, Gale Wind, there is one more thing!" ”

Qin Kai was startled again, this old man Ding's jumping thinking was too active now, and he turned his head to look at Ding Tieji obscenely.

Seeing Qin Kai's appearance, Ding Richang laughed, "It's not a bad thing, I forgot what I told you, you gave the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Lord Zhang, Governor Zhang appreciated it very much, and there was no objection from Xuezheng's side, the Governor's Mansion specially allocated 1,000 taels of silver as a start-up fund, and I asked Sun Fu to go to the Governor's Mansion to get it back." ”

Zhang Peilun's efficiency is obviously not slower than Ding Tieji's, and he is much more generous, Qin Kai couldn't help but feel extremely depressed when he thought that he had never leaked a copper plate from Ding Laotu's hands.

After coming out of the yamen, Qin Kai told Sun Fu about the cause and effect of the matter, naturally omitting his own tricks and N details, but from Sun Fu's eyes, Qin Kai also knew that he must have guessed that there was something else hidden in it, but the general thing was clear.

"Gale Wind, you can control these things yourself, I will personally run the matter of the Jiangnan Bureau, the requirements of Lord Zhongtang are actually very clear, the profits of the cotton cloth business are thin, so naturally we want to give a generous gift to compensate for the horsetail, which is the technology you said about dyeing the cloth, how many can you give me that dyeing machine?" And that dyeing material? ”

"Brother Sun, I will prepare 10 sets of this machine for you, a factory of 300 looms, it is enough to have 10 machines, this dyeing raw material is actually the key, how much cloth can be dyed depends on the raw materials, the profit of a dyed cloth is about 15 taels of silver, you can get an idea in detail! You know, I'm most annoyed by this," Qin Kai smiled and bowed.

Sun Fu also accepted Qin Kai's gift unceremoniously, "Then I will board the ship to Tianjin Wei in two days, I will not be polite to you about this official matter, you have to prepare 20,000 taels of silver, all with the silver ticket of Fukang Bank, I heard that the soldiers of your security regiment are well trained, give me a few, if there is something over there, I will telegraph and contact you, can you?" ”

"No problem, Brother Sun, you just have the idea, I'll let He Xing send it later," Sun Fu said so openly, Qin Kai naturally understood that this was the unspoken rule of officialdom, and he should not be involved in this matter, and there was definitely no need to find Lord Li Zhongtang in this matter, and it was either Zhou Fu or Sheng Huaixuan who took over this matter.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed to him, since Li Zhongtang knew that the loom came from the Mawei Shipyard, this Qing Dynasty officialdom was a famous sieve, and nothing could keep it secret, so the British ...... It's possible that little Japan has already gotten the news. ,

He pondered for a while, and immediately beckoned Zhang Kui, who was standing not far away, to call over, briefly explained the situation, and asked him to go back immediately to arrange the alert level of the Mawei Shipyard, and at the same time greet the Mawei Hunan Army Inspection Battalion, and let Huang Dang and them also increase the frequency of inspections.

Qin Kai ran to the governor's yamen again, and the officials at the door were all well-informed people in Fuzhou, this Qin supervisor is now a hot figure in Fuzhou, and he immediately went in Tongbing for him, Zhang Peilun is a very good governor of the house, and he is discussing with a few masters in the house at this time.

Hearing that Qin Kai came to ask to see him, Zhang Peilun waved his hand and asked the masters to go down, leaving Master Zeng alone, and still going to the side hall next to him to see him.

After some politeness, Qin Kai also went straight to the topic, "Governor Zhang, the lower officials are here to ask, what else do adults have to take care of this new learning?" Qin Kai understands very well, the set he wrote must have a place to be dropped by the river crab, those officials and masters who study politics can let go of this new learning, he estimates, one is the pressure on both sides of the governor and the governor, and the other is that this piece does not involve those scholars after all, and those who enter the new school are all mud legs who can't afford to read.

"Gale Wind, I've seen your fold, and your knowledge is indeed extraordinary, but this teacher's manpower, Xuezheng said that he can invite some talents from poor families, and you have to find your own way, in addition, the content of this national school, Xuezheng requires that it be established in accordance with their charter, which is also a good thing, and it saves any extra trouble!"

Qin Kai nodded and wrote them down one by one.

Zhang Peilun glanced at Master Zeng, who naturally understood and interjected on the side, "Supervisor Qin, the start-up fee of 1,000 taels of silver allocated by the Governor this time, but there will be no provenance for this fund in the future, Lord Qin, do you have a way?" ”

Qin Kai had a chill, this Lao Ding and Xiao Zhang Ke are both virtuous, but this aspect is not difficult for him, he arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, this cloth is a great good deed, it is enough to get the support of the adults, I will find a way in terms of money!" In addition, how about an adult give these Mengxue a name and leave a sub-ink treasure? ”

Qin Kai has already made a calculation, there are signs of the governor and the governor hanging, this is a magnet and a demon tower, this era is definitely appealing, and he can even save a few points of effort in publicity.

Without much effort, Qin Kai got Mobao, and Zhang Peilun gave him the name of "Qiushi School", which made Qin Kai feel a chill again, and he actually had a bit of Ding Tieji's style.

Back at the Artillery Bureau, Qin Kai happily took the name of the school inscribed by Zhang Peilun and the notice sent by the Governor Yamen to find Zhang Jian, who was still lying in front of the table to study the textbooks and Qin Kai's new education plan, until Qin Kai pushed the door in, he didn't find out.

"Gale, I was just about to find you? What are you holding in your hands? Zhang Jian was a little surprised when he saw Qin Kai holding a large stack of things.

Qin Kai smiled, "Good thing! The matter of opening a new school in Fuzhou, the governor Zhang Peilun and the governor Ding Richang have agreed to it, this matter has to be entrusted to you Brother Ji, what difficulties do you have? ”

"So fast!" The question that Zhang Jian had been worried about was whether this new school could be opened, and in an era when the imperial examination was the only certification, it was undoubtedly difficult to open a new school with a completely different path...... It seems that I have indeed come to the right place, "I need manpower, I can only open Mongolian schools and primary education schools in the early stage, I plan to open 5 schools first, and then gradually open around Fuzhou Prefecture, and complete the new school education layout in Fuzhou Prefecture within a year!" ”

When it came to this education, Zhang Jian immediately became full of confidence, and he had spent time inspecting the Gezhi School and the Church School in Shanghai.

"Yes, I can give you 30 junior teachers in the early stage, and about 10 Mengxue teachers sent by Xuezheng, Brother Ji, you can see enough!"

"Enough! Enough is enough! Zhang Jian thought about it and nodded excitedly. Gale Wind, I see that your plan says that each Mongolian school child will be given a monthly subsidy of half a tael of silver by the Harbour Master, and a subsidy of one or two taels of silver a month for the students of the Elementary School, providing two meals of staple food a day, and this money can be implemented! ”

He also mixed up in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, and the so-called allocated money was the norm for geese to pluck their feathers, and there were many people who left behind with the geese.

Qin Kai smiled slightly, this is the Mawei Ship Administration, I dare not say that everyone here is greedy for a little cheap, but the matter of corruption and perversion of the law, Qin Kai is sure that there should be none, he asked people to find He Xing, after an introduction, this subsidy for new students is responsible for He Xing, and it is checked every month, Qin Kai said at the end, a hundred-year plan, education-oriented, and Yang Jian secretly admired it in his heart. ,

In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed, and Yang Jian has already led his teacher team to devote himself to the vigorous new ** movement, in several slightly larger villages nearby, a "Qiushi School" Meng School nominated by the Governor and the Governor was quickly built in the hard work of the villagers.

The notice posted at the entrance of Mengxue was covered with the big seal of the horsetail shipmaster, and a literate man from the village was reading the content aloud, and the people below listened carefully and exchanged their heads and ears from time to time.

"Uncle Liu, it's a notice from the Mawei Ship Administration, didn't your baby come here as a villager in it!" A rural sister-in-law's loud voice rang out.

"Sister-in-law of the Li family, let's add a baby to the security regiment in the Artillery Bureau, not a village brave, this year's salary has been raised, including food and accommodation to earn three taels of silver a month, and there are New Year's goods!" Uncle Liu heard that his baby was the kind of villager who didn't want to pull a few words, so he naturally had to argue for his son.

"This study in Mengxue, even if you have enough food and take half a tael of silver, is there such a good thing?" Someone questioned in a low voice.

"You're stupid, you don't look at the list there, the Mawei Ship Administration is run by Governor Ding, the great lord of the blue sky, and everyone says that Lord Qin is a Wenqu star from the sky, who came to the mortal world to teach knowledge, or how to give the baby who reads and send silver!"

In the face of such attractive conditions, soon the Mongolian schools in various villages recruited a lot of students, but the students of this primary school were much fewer, how could there be so many literate children in the countryside, and the families who had the opportunity to read and write were either landlords and old wealth, or official eunuchs, and most of them refused to come to this new school.

As a result, most of the students in the first batch of junior schools came from the children recruited by Qin Kai of the Mawei Research Institute for the first time, including the children of the Xiang Army, the children and nephews of the He family, and the children of the artillery bureau and the workers in various factories.

Early in the morning, Qin Kai hurried to the dock with Liao Dechang and several technicians from the machine tool workshop, and saw from a distance that Lu Han and Xu Shoushan were leading the team respectively, leading the crew of the training ship to conduct daily training in the open space in front of the huge battleship.

Not far away, on the 501 training ship, the modification of the guns has been completed, and the twin guns have been installed on Chinese battleships for the first time, and the muzzles of the black holes are straight to the guide......
