Chapter Seventy-Six: Escape
After Sheng Xuanhuai said it like this, the managers of the foreign bank were unstable again, and with the experience of Fang Cai, many people took out promissory notes to besiege Qinchuan, but they could no longer find the shadow of Qinchuan in the courtyard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It turned out that when Sheng Xuan introduced these products, Qin Chuan had already quietly walked out of the gate and ran back to the dyeing factory to hide.
Knowing that Qin Chuan had secretly run away, Sheng Xuanhuai, who was angry, blew his beard and glared at Ye Xilai and lost his temper for a while.
These days, every time Sheng Xuanhuai comes, he has to meet with Ye Xilai, Ye Xilai knows that Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Shiheng are both shareholders of this cannery, and naturally they are also his bosses, and they will not treat him like this, just laughing with him and not talking.
In the end, Sheng Xuanhuai appeased for a while, and then took it upon himself to let Ye Xilai move out dozens of boxes of canned food and send them to ministers of various countries for free. It's just that many people have made up their minds that they must be the first to strike next time.
Seeing these ministers and foreign bank managers carrying boxes of canned food into the car, Sheng Xuanhuai asked Zhang Shiheng to take these people to the Li Shunde Hotel in the concession, Zhang Shiheng not only had to arrange accommodation for the ministers of various countries, but Sheng Xuanhuai also promised to banquet the ministers and all the foreign bank managers who came today in the evening, and Zhang Shiheng had to do this.
Watching Zhang Shiheng, who was as excited as his heart, leave with these foreigners, Sheng Xuanhuai happily got on his four-person green sedan chair, urging the sedan chair driver to trot straight to the Governor's Mansion in Zhili.
Qin Chuan, who hid back in the dyeing factory, did not go back to his small western-style building, but came directly to the backyard
The backyard of the dyeing factory is different from the outside, the unfinished construction site of the Yantuan Building has been firmly enclosed by a temporary fence surrounded by hemp rope, and the masons standing on the scaffolding and carrying the bricks and stones below are still busy nervously. On the training ground, Shi Feng was leading the more than 100 people from the original factory protection team to conduct intense drills.
These people are all armed with shiny 88-type rifles, fully armed for queue training, as Shi Feng has shouted more and more majestic and imposing commands, more than 100 people suddenly guns on the shoulders into nine columns, suddenly holding guns are moving forward, and suddenly in the march in the line of brushing and saluting, more than 100 people under the command of Shi Feng are like armies, the queue is horizontal and vertical and the momentum is rigorous, although I dare not say that it is comparable to the military parade team of later generations, but it also has a rough appearance.
Looking through the open wall, the east side is surrounded by the wall of the new factory area, and on the training ground that has been leveled, there are still more than 1,000 recruits training in the unarmed queue.
Looking at the scene on the dusty training ground that was trampled by more than a thousand people, Qin Chuan couldn't help but have a faint impulse in his heart. Qin Chuan resisted the thought of going down to the training ground, turned around and walked towards a tall two-story red brick building behind the dyeing factory workshop.
This is the temporary repair station of Qinchuan Salt Group, and the two salt balls standing guard in front of the building gate of the repair station raised their hands to Qin Chuan.
The military salute of the salt regiment is the etiquette formulated by Qin Chuan completely in accordance with the standards he gave to his salt in the army in later generations, Qin Chuan is any army that wants his salt regiment to be different from the ****** from the beginning, not only more modern military uniforms and instruments, more advanced combat concepts, and more perfect combat skills, even the etiquette should also be so, Qin Chuan returned the salute and walked into the repair shop.
In the building of the repair institute, the first floor is the repair workshop, the workshop is empty, only a dozen technicians from the Beiyang Machinery Bureau who came to Zhang Shiheng for free support, are debugging more than a dozen machine tools and iron working platforms lined up in a row. Qin Chuan has seen these machine tools, most of them are old and unbearable, but they can be used just alive.
Qin Chuan has entrusted Xiao William to customize a batch of the latest German machinery and equipment for him, and as soon as those equipment arrives, he will build a new fully functional repair shop, which can not only repair the weapons of the salt group, but also make some self-made equipment. Of course, now Qin Chuan is in a hurry to build this repair institute, not just to repair weapons, but to train some talents.
Go up the stairs to the second floor, the second floor is a long corridor, there are more than a dozen rooms with glass on the doors on both sides of the corridor, Qin Chuan walked all the way down the corridor, and in the four larger rooms, there are middle-aged people in their thirties in horse coats standing in front of the blackboard, giving lectures to more than a dozen young people in overalls. The person who gave the lecture was temporarily loaned to him by Zhang Shiheng from the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, a total of five people, including Bian Changsheng, Wang Desheng, Yang Deming, Zha Lianbiao, and Yuan Yuchun.
These four people were brought to Germany in 1876 with the approval of Li Hongzhang, the military adviser Li Lixie from Krupp in Beiyang, Germany, and the seven students who had studied naval and army weapons techniques in Germany.
Qin Chuan vaguely remembered that it seemed that the famous Duan Qirui had also gone to Germany to study, and when asked about Bian Changsheng and others, he knew that Duan Qirui was brought to Germany to study military affairs in the fifteenth year of Guangxu, that is, in 1889, a total of five people, they only knew that Duan Qirui was still studying in Germany, and the other four people who came back, Shang Dequan, Kong Qingtang, and Wu Dingyuan, Teng Yuzao, were scattered to the Huai Army, and they didn't know where they were.
Bian Changsheng These people are all talents in today's Qing Dynasty, and they are all treasures in Qin Chuan's eyes, and after asking them about their affairs in the Machine Bureau, Qin Chuan has more confidence in his heart, these people are at most a copywriter or assist foreigner technicians and engineers in the Machine Bureau, so that these people have a depressed look in their speech.
Although Li Hongzhang vigorously promoted foreign affairs, but the senior cadres of the direct subordinates, including Li Hongzhang himself, still did not attach much importance to these personnel who were proficient in Western science and technology, and those who studied military affairs were better, at least they could be assigned to the Huai Army as a petty officer, but these people who learned the skills of foreigners did not have that treatment, and could only nest in the machine bureau.
For Beiyang's treatment of these talents who have stayed in the ocean and understand modern technology, in Qin Chuan's opinion, this is simply a tyrannical thing, this is good, then it will be cheap, Qin Chuan has already made up his mind that he must find a way to keep these people under his hands. On the first day that Bian Changsheng and the five people came, Qin Chuan told them that each person had a monthly salary of one hundred eagles, and there was another reward for their outstanding performance. The condition is to work with him at ease, help him train mechanics in the repair shop, and if they want, he can also find a way to bring a few of them over in the future.
One hundred eagles, which is five times their salary in the Machine Bureau, plus seeing that Qin Chuan attaches great importance to them, how can these people be unwilling. After Qin Chuan recruited fifty young people who were literate and had read books, these people became teachers with great interest.
When he walked to the fifth room, through the glass on the door, Qin Chuan saw Wang Desheng crouching on a large drawing board and making a map, Qin Chuan pushed the door in.
Hearing the sound, Wang Desheng, who was nearly forty years old, straightened up and turned around to see that it was Qin Chuan, and hurriedly put down the copper triangle and pencil in his hand and greeted him with a smileγγγγγγ
