Although he was gone, the atmosphere at the table was a little awkward. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Chu Yunfei was a little ignorant, he also roughly understood the meaning of Clear, and his eager eyes were full of expectation.

But Li Mingfang is full of worries, and he always can't open his mouth when he wants to say anything.

If you want to say that it is just to cheat a glass of wine to drink, this is absolutely impossible, and it is clear that the eagle can buy a jar of bamboo leaves.

If someone instructed him to do so, Li Mingfang couldn't think of what it was for.

But if it is really as it is said, then the owner who can make money in front of him will be very famous.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mingfang wanted to open his mouth to say something and probe Qin Chuan's thoughts, but before he could speak, Qin Chuan spoke first.

"Lao Li, go ask those young people and see what difficulties they encountered? Let's see if we can help them. ”

Li Mingfang glanced at Qin Chuan meaningfully, hesitated for a moment, but still got up and went over to ask.

The two businessman-looking people at the other table had long since left, and only the two tables of Qin Chuan and the young man were left upstairs.

Li Mingfang suddenly came over to ask, and the young people began to be a little stunned, and after Li Mingfang explained his intentions, several young people with accents in western Henan, Shaanxi Province told Li Mingfang the reason with a long sigh.

The two tables were not far away, and Qin Chuan heard their conversation clearly.

It turned out that among these eight people, three people named Zhou Dajing, Li Ruming, and Wang Xiping were from Shaanxi County, western Henan, Liu Weifa, Zhang Jinggui, Zhang Jingfang, and He Ruhuai were from Shangzhou, Shangluo Mountain, and Fang Weijun and Qiu Qinghe were from Xianyang. They are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are here to apply for the Tianjin Wubei Academy. They didn't know that the acceptance of people by this military academy was to be recommended by local governments and the military, or to have local well-known gentry and businessmen as guarantors, because there was no recommendation when they came, and no local gentry and businessmen were willing to guarantee a few of their outsiders, and several people were rejected by the military academy.

These young people were about to go home in desperation, and Li Mingfang's question made these young people suddenly have hope again, and they all turned their eager eyes to Qin Chuan.

Tianjin Wubei School is the Beiyang Military Academy, which is the first army academy in China, which was founded by Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang Commerce, in the first month of the 11th year of Guangxu, on the basis of the Western Military Academy.

The Tianjin Military Academy was headed by Yin Chang, a bannerman who had studied military affairs in Germany, as the general office, and Yang Zonglian, a Taoist, as the superintendent, and hired retired German officers as instructors. At the beginning, the trainees selected more than 100 soldiers from various battalions of the Huai Army to study martial arts, and the initial period of study was one year. In the sixteenth year of Guangxu, the railway department was added, and the school system was changed to three years. Li Hongzhang attaches great importance to this Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, and often personally participates in the students' learning assessments.

Qin Chuan had inquired about the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy when he was in the concession, and he had been paying attention to it for a long time, and he had been thinking about how to send some of his own people in.

What's more, there is also the statement of the Taoist priest.

Qin Chuan thought for a moment, stood up and walked to the table of this group of young people.

Seeing Qin Chuan coming, the young people also stood up.

"My name is Qin Chuan, and I am the owner of Aurora Dyeing Factory. Don't go home yet, I'll figure out a way for you to go to the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy. ”

Hearing that Qin Chuan was going to help them find a way to enroll in school, several young people couldn't help but be excited and couldn't help cheering. Zhou Dajing was a tall square-faced young man, and he didn't forget to give Qin Chuan a deep salute while he was excited.

"Thank you to the shopkeeper Qin for his help, but if I can get my wish, I will not forget Mr. 's great kindness."

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Although this Zhou Dajing is not very old, he is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is much older than others. ”

Qin Chuan turned his head and asked Chu Yunfei: "Would you like to go to the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy to study too?" ”

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said in a resolute tone: "Don't go, I heard that what I learned in that academy will be sent to all camps, everywhere, I don't want to leave, I just want to follow you." ”

Qin Chuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Not really, under normal circumstances, it's what you said, but after graduation, if you don't want to enter the camp to be a soldier, you can also go home without doing it." Listen to me, it's not just you, go back, let's pick a few more literate young people in the factory protection team, and you all go. I'll go back and tell your father about it. And also...... ”

Qin Chuan stroked his hand and said to Zhou Dajing and others: "I can see that your family is not well-off, so you will first go to my factory team to register your name, I will give you your wages, after a few days I will send you to the school, although there is also money, but not much, you are far away from home, and it is not easy for those who are not familiar with the place in Tianjin Wei, I will pay you the same salary every month as you are in my factory care team, so that your life is more lively." ”

Without waiting for those young people to express their opinions, Qin Chuan turned to Li Mingfang and said, "Old Li, you and Yunfei will go back with the Great Scripture first, and ask them to live in our factory first, and then we will find a way to send them to the school." ”

Li Mingfang still thought about Fang Cai's words, nodded solemnly, and asked Qin Chuan uneasily.

"The owner, 。。。。。。 about going to see Wu Tiaoqing"

Qin Chuan shook his hand: "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the concession, I'll just go alone." ”
