Stroll through Zizhulin Street in the French Concession, where the boundary between China and the West is located. On both sides of the www.biquge.info road, there are many houses and foreign houses, and there are all kinds of foreign flags on the round, pointed and oblique roofs, and there are also many Chinese shops, especially the Guangdong shopkeepers who speak the official dialect of Cantonese. In addition to men, there are also many prostitutes with heavy makeup, many of whom are Japanese prostitutes wearing kimonos.

Liang Hong didn't come to shop the streets, there were two targets for his trip nearby. One is the Beiyang Telegraph School on Paris Road not far to the east, where Shen Mingxuan was the first industrial technology school in the country, and Shen Mingxuan went there to be a superintendent. The other is very close to the Telegraph School, the Beiyang Medical School, the earliest public Western medical school in the country. He came to Tianjin in order to take advantage of the turmoil after the failure of the Wuxu Reform to poach well-educated teachers and students from these schools.

Li Hongzhang is undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in modern Chinese history, having created the modern Western-style navy and army, although neither army was able to fulfill its mission of defending its borders. He founded China's modern military industry, and the machine-building bureau in Tianjin would be destroyed in two years' time. Also in his Beiyang hometown Tianjin, a number of Western-style schools were established, and the Beiyang University Hall outside the Daying Gate in the south was the earliest modern university in China, and it was also the goal of Liang Hong's trip. In addition to this, there are two schools, both of which are military. Tianjin Military Academy, which constitutes the skeleton of the officers of the future Beiyang warlords, now has the platform of the new army, and he can't dig it up. In addition, it is the Tianjin Naval Academy, but he is not interested at all, after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the navy lost its military soul, and a whole generation of scum appeared in the history of the navy.

Standing outside the wall of the Beiyang Medical Hall, Liang Hong was pondering, the Telegraph School now has Shen Mingxuan's connections, but how can the Medical Hall get a relationship? With the recruitment of a large number of Chinese workers to Africa, medical care has become a must-think. These people are not genetically modified like cyborgs, nor are they like the countless vaccines he has received. Only by creating good medical conditions can the survival rate of compatriots be improved.

The teaching level of Beiyang Medical Hall is still very high, formerly known as the medical hall run by the church, after the Beiyang Department took over, hired Chinese and foreign teachers, and the number of students was 20, and the enrollment selection was extremely strict. At first, only Guangdong students were recruited here, which was related to the nostalgia of the Cantonese superintendent Qu Guiting, and later after the collective protest of the local gentlemen, it was only after the collective protest of the local gentlemen that they won the admission qualification of local students in Tianjin. The school course is set up according to the standards of Western medical schools, and after half a year of basic learning in the classroom, they will go to the hospital for clinical observation with the medical officer in daily shifts. The entire duration of study is 4 years, and upon completion of the course, a license is issued, and it is allowed to make a living in medicine.

The first step in getting in touch was to find a way to get closer, and Liang Hong was looking for a rental house nearby. Before the Gengzi Change, there were large swamps in the British and French concessions, mosquitoes and flies breed in summer, and the smell is stinking, and housing prices have never risen. It was not until after the Eight-Nation Coalition that the concession was expanded, and the sediment dug up during the dredging of the Haihe River filled the swamp, and the environment of the concession was completely improved. There are many idle western-style buildings near Paris Road, and I finally found the ideal house after asking one by one. The two-story western-style building with the courtyard wall, although it is not facing the main street, but the road surface in the alley is flat and clean, it was originally an office building of a small western-style company, and the four rooms on each floor are very spacious, and the monthly rent is 60 yuan.

Signing the lease and paying off the rent deposit, when Liang Hong rushed back to the Lishunde Hotel, Shen Mingxuan happened to come back from the Telegraph School.

"The guy who looks down on people with dog eyes actually deduces that the school does not keep his family, saying that this is the rule set by Li Zhongtang when he was in Tianjin."

At the dinner table, Shen Mingxuan complained, he scolded the general affairs of the school, the Anhui people surnamed Li, and the younger generation of Li Hongzhang's family.

"Brother Shen doesn't have to be angry, in fact, this is human nature, and Weng Ge didn't rectify Li Zhongtang back then. As for the accommodation, don't care, I just rented a western-style building on Paris Road today, the place is quite spacious, Brother Shen might as well come over and stay for a while, and then make plans when the wind and waves are calm. ”

Liang Hong persuaded. When the wind is calm, it doesn't mean Tianjin, in less than a month, the old lady Cixi in the imperial city will sacrifice the butcher's knife, and when Weng Tong Zhishi goes home, the heads of the six gentlemen of Wuxu will fall to the ground, and the officials who have been deposed and held accountable can have tens of thousands of people.

"What's so embarrassing?"

Shen Mingxuan's face was very embarrassed, he originally thought that he would get ahead, at least he could have the final say in the Telegraph Academy, but now he doesn't think that's the case at all.

"What's so embarrassing, Brother Liang is not an outsider."

Mrs. Shen directly interrupted her husband, the room fee of the Li Shunde Hotel is three silver dollars a day, and Shen Mingxuan's superintendent's monthly salary is only 100 yuan, so he can't afford to live in the hotel. However, Mrs. Shen Liang Hong likes to listen to this, if she is not an outsider, then she will naturally count it as a family, turning her head to look at Shen Yue, and seeing that the girl was bored and just eating.

"Well, that's not the solution, though." Shen Mingxuan sighed.

"In fact, there are still ways, the school still has to talk about learning, and Brother Shen is not a layman."

Mrs. Shen reacted the fastest to Liang Hong's words and put a high hat on him first.

"Brother Liang, if there is any way, I will help your eldest brother, you have seen the world, unlike him who is a nerd, he knows how to engage in technology."

"Brother Shen, the Telegraph School is about to start, and they all say that there are three fires for the new official to take office, and no one can say anything about this one burns academically. Hold an academic lecture at the school, brother, you personally go up and talk about the latest technology in the telegraph industry today, what automatic telegraph, wireless telegraphy, at least we occupy the commanding heights in academics. Liang Hong didn't take it seriously, and went straight to the point.

"That's right, I've seen this automatic telegraph, and at that time, the foreign company also sold it to the Commercial and Telecommunications Bureau, and we all know the doorway inside." Shen Mingxuan slapped his thigh, his face showed joy, but then he sighed, "The automatic telegraph is a little weaker alone, and wireless telegraphy Europe is just emerging, so it's really hard to find someone who understands this." ”

"If there is really no candidate, I have seen wireless telegraphy, and the foreign company also investigated whether to buy the patent of the Italian Marconi, but it was preempted by the British."

Liang Hong boasted half-truthfully, but in terms of radio technology, he was not ambiguous at all, and in today's world, even if Marconi himself came, he would have to bow down.

"Brother Liang, are you really good?"

"No problem, when the time comes, you will talk about the development and prospects of radio, and I will explain the design scheme and principles here. Then there is the Beiyang University Hall, there is no electrical major, invite them to come, academic exchanges, the school can have a greater impact than the inside of the school. ”

He is not afraid to make a big deal out of it, this is an opportunity to enter the Telegraph School, or even the Beiyang University Hall.
