In 1925, Fenghua County did not have a railway station, and if you wanted to go to Shanghai, you would take either a boat or a train. You have to go to Ningbo by train. And from Fenghua to Ningbo nearly 40 kilometers, it takes three or four hours to take a carriage, the road at this time is not the cement road of later generations, and the city is full of dirt roads between the city.

In order to make Young Master Li sit as comfortably as possible, Lao Sun Tou and Tie Dan drove the car very slowly. The train from Ningbo to Shanghai will not depart until evening, and they have time to hurry, so it is not too late to walk slowly. In fact, even if they drove the carriage bumpy, Li Tie couldn't feel it. Because he was deeply shocked by what he had brought with him on this trip.

Li Tie first opened a suitcase prepared by the cheap father, in addition to the usual change of clothes, there was also a check from Zhejiang Industrial Bank, a cash cashier's check of 1,000 silver dollars. This is Li Tie's tuition and living expenses for the first year, and his father will give him an allowance of 100 silver dollars every month.

You must know that Shanghai is now the place with the highest consumption in China, in fact, an ordinary worker can spend less than ten silver dollars a month. Thinking of this, Li Tie felt for the first time that it was good to be a rich man, and it was better to be a rich second generation.

He happily stuffed the check into his purse and opened the heavy little package from his mother again. A golden light flashed in the package, what is Liang blind, and now Li Tie feels that he has been blinded by something given by his mother, and ten big yellow croakers weighing five taels appear in front of his eyes like this.

Wow! At this time, a large yellow croaker is worth at least 100 US dollars, the official exchange of silver dollars is more than 200, the black market can be exchanged for 500 silver dollars, and these ten large yellow croakers are worth at least 3,000 silver dollars. This mom is too rich, isn't she?

Quickly open the small package given by the two aunts, the two aunts should have discussed it in advance, and they all gave three small yellow croakers and some gold, silver and jade hand ornaments. Li Tie didn't know the price of the hand ornament, so he had to pick out six small yellow croakers and put them in his arms. Then stuff 10 large yellow croakers into your suitcase and keep them well.

Li Tie, who had packed everything up, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, although in his previous life, when he looked at the history of the party and the development of the Republic of China, he thought that he would definitely be able to mix when he came to the Republic of China, but in fact, when he really arrived in this era, Li Tie found that he was really black-eyed, and he didn't know where to start.

Nor are the lucrative trades of the 21st century possible. However, I now have no less than 5,000 silver dollars, which is also a huge amount of money in this era, so I might as well do some trading.

In any case, in any era, anywhere, everything is based on money, no matter how it will develop in the future, first increase one's own economic strength.

But he is a fifteen-year-old boy, who will be assured to do business with us in Shanghai, where there is no relatives and no reason? Alas, it is not firm to do things without hair under the mouth, and it is also a pain to be young! It's better to go to Shanghai first, maybe it's just not the right time, I believe that God will let him go through once, and he won't let him live this life in vain.

In fact, the carriage was not stable at all, but fortunately there was a thick cushion under the body, or it would have tossed itself upside down. After a long journey of nearly three hours, Li Tie and his entourage finally arrived in Ningbo City at noon. As soon as he got out of the carriage, Tie Dan carried Li Tie's suitcase.

Li Tie sent the old grandson away, and took the iron egg to find a nearby two-story inn to rest. At this time, there are many inns that are integrated with hotels and inns. Because the train departed at night, Li Tie first asked for a room to rest.

Today's China is a period of national revolution against the warlords and the great powers. In this year, Sun Yat-sen died, the Kuomintang bigwigs were busy fighting for power, and the powerful warlords in various localities were also waiting for their troops, and a war was about to break out on all sides.

As a result, uprisings, strikes, and repressions have occurred one after another. The so-called troubled times produce heroes, and the more chaotic the country, the more admirable the patriots that emerge. They can truly shed their blood for the sake of the country.

Just as Li Tie locked the room and was about to go downstairs for dinner, he had just walked to the staircase when he heard three young men arguing loudly, "Brother Qiao Yan's meaning, I understand very well, in order to oppose the enslavement of the foreign powers, of course we must be education-oriented and broaden the wisdom of the people."

The purpose of our trip is to run a school and promote culture, and what I want to emphasize now is the funding, where is the funding? These days, we have been running around all over the world, but the funds raised are far from enough. How do we operate without money?

A few of us can do without salaries, but it is impossible for all teachers to be without salaries, and we have to rent land, rent houses, hire workers, and conduct military training for students. Time is of the essence! After speaking, Shan turned his head and said to a younger young man next to him: "Brother Defu, is there really no one in the industrial and commercial circles in Ningbo who is willing to pay?" ”

A thin, but bright-eyed young man asked.

"Alas! In the past few days, I have traveled all over the Ningbo industrial and commercial circles, and almost all the large-scale enterprises have visited. These enterprises either say that the economy is not good, or they say that they are afraid that we will come from the wrong way, and even more excessively, they say that we are red elements. They want to report to the police and arrest us.

Alas, Brother Kenong, can't we build a people's livelihood school in Wuhu? "The man called Defu is the youngest of the three, and it is really distressing to think that there is really no reward for the hard work of these days."

As soon as he heard the words "Brother Kenong", Li Tie, who had just walked to the top of the stairs, stepped on the air from the stairs as soon as his feet were unstable, and jumped down the stairs in a few steps.

The three people who were going down the stairs to eat first heard the movement on the stairs, and then saw a person running down the stairs. It turned out to be a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, who was wearing a landlord's outfit, and at first glance he was not a child of a good family. Several people retracted their gaze and prepared to continue discussing the establishment of the school.

Li Tie would not let them go in vain, stepped forward, and called them affectionately. "A few eldest brothers, the younger brother Fenghua Li Tie, is about to go to Tongji University to study, and when he saw a few people with excellent hearts, the younger brother was very moved, I don't know if I can reward the younger brother with a seat, and let the younger brother listen to a few high opinions."

A few people didn't want to deal with Li Tie, but when they heard that he was a student of Tongji University at a young age, they couldn't help but look at him a few times, you must know that during the Republic of China, it was either rich or expensive to be able to study in a self-financed university, and at the same time, the quality of the university at this time was not the kind of mixed diploma in later generations.

It can be said that both the level of teachers and the quality of students are among the best in the world. It's just that a few of them are about thirty years old, and although the things they talk about are not secret, they don't want outsiders to get involved. The eldest Gong Qiaoyan just wanted to refuse Li Tie.

I heard Li Tie continue: "I overheard just now that the three eldest brothers seem to be distressed by the lack of funds for the construction of the school, the younger brother is not talented, but he does have a small family wealth, I don't know how much money the eldest brothers need, I can donate some and contribute to the people's livelihood." ”

Of course, Li Tie would not be attentive for no reason, because he felt familiar when he heard the three of them shouting Brother Qiao Yan just now, and then when the young people talked about Wuhu Minsheng School, Li Tie remembered that the Minsheng School was not established by Li Kenong and Gong Qiaoyan.

At this time, Li Kenong was only twenty-six years old, and he had not yet joined **, he was a patriotic young man who was dedicated to the country, if he was connected to their livelihood school, maybe he could still hug the big tree of Li Kenong.

It turned out that the thin young man among the three was Li Kenong, so he stumbled and ran down the stairs, but it was okay to find the owner directly.

Here Li Tie reported his home as a courtesy. The three people in the audience are not good at reporting their families, the older one is Gong Qiaoyan, and the other is Li Kenong, as for the youngest is now called Qian Defu, in fact, he is also one of the founders of Minsheng School, and he is also the future home Qian Xingcun, Qian Defu is his real name, and his external name is Aying.

Although Li Kenong is not very old now, he is the oldest and most scheming among the several people. "I don't know if my brother knew a few of us before, or heard of a few of us. Why should you be part of our discussions? ”

"I want to hug your thighs!" Li Tie thought so, but of course he couldn't say it, he just said very naturally: "Although I am very young, my father is a patriotic businessman, and he taught me since I was a child that if China wants to make the country rich and the people strong, it must pay first attention to education, and look at the surrounding powers, from Britain and France to the United States and Japan, all of them are strong education first and then strong country."

How can a country full of illiterates beat a country full of college students? Therefore, although I am the only child in the family and have a lot of money, my father has invited me to a private school since I was a child, and he not only taught me astronomy, geography, but also physics, chemistry, arithmetic, and foreign languages.

So although I'm only fifteen years old now. However, Tongji University had already invited me to study there, and my father and I both thought that it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, so I was left alone at a young age to travel thousands of miles. ”

Li Tie brags about deception, just to let a few people not underestimate him, if he doesn't say that he is a little wicked, with his young age, who will pay attention to him.

Sure enough, Li Tie's exaggerated words really shocked the three truly learned people in front of him. Especially after Li Tie took out the admission invitation letter of Tongji University, several people finally let down their guard and talked with Li Tie.

Alas, if you don't say that everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the people of this era are real, when I heard that Li Tie was a college student who had just entered the school, even the king of agents of the Republic was not vigilant at all, but fortunately, Li Tie was really kind to the three of them.

Hearing that it only costs two hundred silver dollars to build a school in the early stage, Li Tie really didn't take this money seriously, and he could build a school with two months of spiritual spending, which is too exaggerated. As soon as he finished saying that the money was out, several heroes should not be stumped by these hundreds of yuan again.

Who knew that Gong Qiaoyan looked embarrassed and continued: "In the early stage, the school can be rented and built for only two hundred silver dollars. At the same time, students can also start school, but salaries, teaching materials, and usual consumption also need money, and they plan to recruit only 50 students in one class in the first phase. In this way, another hundred silver dollars for the first month should be able to sustain it for a while. ”

Li Tie asked curiously, "What will I do in a month?" ”

Li Kenong and A-Ying said that they will definitely raise enough money within a month to support the school's expenses, but it is really not good, and in September and October, the food in the homes of several people can be exchanged for silver, or the burden on the school can be reduced.

Look at the three revolutionary pioneers in front of you who are dedicated to the country. Li Tie suddenly felt that he was very small, and without saying a word, he opened his wallet and put the 1,000 silver dollars given by his father on the table, "These can support half a year, right?" When they looked at the check for a thousand silver dollars on the table, their eyes widened.

This Li Tie is so rich. casually took out a thousand silver dollars, isn't he afraid that a few of us are liars? Okay, just now I was still suspecting that Li Tie was a liar, and as soon as I turned around, I was afraid that people would suspect that they were liars.

Gong Qiaoyan is the principal of the internal designation, and he put away the check very preciously. Moved to Li Tie hugged his fist, thank you Li Tie for your generosity, we will erect a monument for you when the school is built.

Li Tie was startled when he heard that he was going to erect a monument, "Don't, don't erect a monument." "What are you kidding, soon you will be raising the banner of rebellion.

If my name is written on the tablet, Lao Jiang will definitely kill my whole family in the future, but I still want to be in peace and stability in the establishment of a new society. I just want to make friends with a few people, but I can't let them confess their unintentionally.

Several people are still wondering, because they haven't joined ** at this time, so they haven't thought about rebellion, and they don't know the danger they will encounter in the future. Who doesn't want to be famous? At present, we still don't practice the practice of doing good deeds without leaving a name.

"In the past, the squires built a bridge, paved a road, and erected a monument to pass it on. Is this a great merit? Why wouldn't the little brother? ”

"Ah, our family has ancestral news, and we don't leave a name for doing good deeds. Otherwise kick out the clan. So I ask a few big brothers to forgive me, if you have to leave a name, please leave a Chinese nameless name. Li Tie secretly wiped his sweat.

"In addition, the little brother has a reluctant request, please use Anonymous instead when you mention me in front of others in the future, and don't call my real name. But if you have a place where you can use your younger brother in the future, please feel free to come to me. As long as the younger brother does his best, he will definitely help. After speaking, he also saluted the three brothers.

At this time in China, the feudal legacy has not been removed, and there are countless strange rules and customs, and the three people who have long been surprised have not forced Li Tie to leave his name.

One of them is deliberately befriended, and the third is really rich and rich, but everyone is dedicated to the people, and the youngest Li Tie has used a lot of insights from later generations in order to let a few people not underestimate him. Naturally, it was also very inspiring to the people in front of him, and the guests and hosts talked happily for a while.

Li Tie also specially told Li Kenong that if there was really anything urgent and he needed his help, he must send a trustworthy person to Tongji University to find him, and not use letters. After speaking, he also handed over the long-life lock he had carried since he was a child to Li Kenong, and he recognized the lock and did not recognize anyone.

Several people have regarded Li Tie's mystery as Li Tie's style of acting. Because of the achievement of their respective goals, Li Tie even asked for a few plates of good dishes and drank with the three newly met eldest brothers.

Fortunately, everyone still has important tasks to do, and Li Kenong and the others have to contact other teachers to prepare to go to Wuhu to establish Minsheng Middle School. Li Tie was also busy catching the train, everyone ate to their heart's content, and drank until they said goodbye happily.
