Hearing Ding Ruchang say that there was no silver, Lin Daxin immediately said with a little excitement: "Lord Admiral! The boy is willing to do everything he can to share the worries of the Admiral! I am willing to take out the money to build a water master school like the lowly man said! ”

Ding Ruchang was very surprised when he heard that Lin Daxin was willing to take out his own money and establish a water master school, you must know that now the officials of the Qing Dynasty have the opportunity to embezzle money and rush to get on it one by one.

Now the kid in front of him wants to take out the money to run a water master school by himself, and his head is clouded! What is the purpose of this?

Ding Ruchang looked at Lin Daxin and asked, "Oh? Do you want to use the money to run a water master school? Hehe, does your father know? How much silver can you come up with? ”

"Back to Lord Admiral, my father doesn't know about this! The lower officials just want to share their worries for the admiral and the court! Build a strong army, protect my sailors, and protect my Qing Dynasty! As for the silver, the lower officials could get financial support from their grandfather! Moreover, Xia Guan also wants to establish a few factories and earn silver to subsidize the Hydrator School! Lin Daxin carefully answered Ding Ruchang's question.

Master Kang, the general manager of the Sailor Academy on the side, and Ding Ruchang whispered: "Lord Admiral, Lin Yongsheng's father-in-law is a well-known wealthy businessman in Fujian!"

Ding Ruchang continued to ask with a slight bow: "According to what you said, the Sailor Academy may cost a lot of money, but the Imperial Court and the Admiral's Mansion can't come up with any money, so you have to bear the cost of the Sailor Academy independently!" That's not a small amount! Lin Xian's nephew, have you thought it through? ”

"Lord Admiral, I am willing to prepare for the establishment of the Sailor School, and I am willing to be the Lord Admiral, and I will die after death!" Lin Daxin said categorically.

"Hahaha! Lin Xian's nephew, let's run a school! Needless to say, what is not dead! Ding Ruchang said with a smile.

Lin Daxin, who was still impassioned, scratched his head embarrassedly, he was a little too excited, what he said was a little too much, and then looked at Ding Ruchang with expectant eyes.

Ding Ruchang narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, considering the gains and losses of this matter. To tell the truth, Master Li Hongzhang asked himself to set up another Sailor School in Weihaiwei, but he didn't give a tael of silver, so he transferred six teachers from the Tianjin Sailor School.

Both himself and the Kang people who were appointed as the Sailor Academy are worried about the money prepared for the construction of the Sailor Academy! Now some people are willing to pay money to run a water master school, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow!

However, this kind of privately funded government-run sailor school has finally made people fall behind, and it is easy for some people in the court to have one more reason to impeach themselves, in order to raise money for the sailors, they used gunboats and coal ships to engage in passenger transportation, and they were impeached many times in the court!

The general manager of the Sailor School, Mr. Kang, who was sitting next to him, was physically and mentally exhausted by the preparation of the Sailor School these days, and he didn't give a single or two pieces of silver to Mr. Kang, how should he start a Sailor School! Now there happened to be Lin Daxin, a stunned young man who came out, so this Kang Daren hurriedly said to Ding Ruchang: "Lord Admiral, since Lin Xian's nephew has the heart to serve the country, he is willing to share his worries for Lord Admiral!" Willing to fund the establishment of Weihai Weishui Academy! The old man is willing to give up the post of general office to Lin Xian's nephew! ”

When Lin Daxin heard Lord Kang say this, he immediately said in fear: "Lord Kang has killed the lower officials!" It's that the lower officials have made money, and the position of the general office is still that of Lord Kang! Xiaguan is willing to build a new Sailor School under the command of Master Kang! ”

In fact, Lin Daxin is 10,000 willing to be the head of the Sailor Academy in his heart, but his age and qualifications are all there, it is better to put this Kang Daren on the bright side, and this Kang Daren is in his sixties, has a good official reputation, is indifferent to fame and fortune, and his father has been a colleague for many years, and the relationship has always been good.

At this time, Ding Ruchang didn't speak for a long time, and Lin Daxin's nervous palms were sweating, this Sailor Academy is the key to his own planning, only by relying on the brand of the Sailor Academy, can he recruit troops in this time and space, and master a force to change the Sino-Japanese War that will break out in more than a year, otherwise, in the current Qing Dynasty, you don't have an official permission, just want to recruit troops and buy horses, it is a rebellion!

Ding Ruchang, who had thought about it for a long time, considered the gains and losses, and finally couldn't help but sigh in his heart, for the sake of Beiyang, why not pity the old man's name, and asked: "Lin Xian's nephew, do you have a table?" ”

Lin Daxin immediately replied respectfully: "Admiral, my father gave the lower official the word Pingshi!" ”

Ding Ruchang bowed his head and said, "Pingshi! The old man was convinced by what you said! Now appoint you as the deputy general office of the Weihai Weishui Master Academy, and your official position remains unchanged, or from the seventh grade. When you build the Sailor School effectively, the old man will ask the court to add an official to you! ”

Lin Daxin's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to Ding Ruchang, "Thank you, Lord Admiral!" The subordinate must live up to the expectations of the admiral! Build Weihai Weishui Master School into the best school in China! ”

Ding Ruchang smiled and bowed his head, letting Lin Daxin get up.

Lord Kang was relieved to see that Ding Ruchang agreed to let Lin Daxin fund the construction of the Sailor Academy, these days for the Sailor Academy, he can't eat and sleep well, Lord Kang said to Ding Ruchang: "Lord Admiral, the old man has been unwell recently, and when he is too strong these days, it is better to let Lin Xian's nephew directly take up the post of general office!"

Ding Ruchang shook his head: "Master Kang, Pingshi is young after all, you can hang the name of a general office in the Sailor Academy, and leave the specific things to the young people!" ”

As soon as Master Kang heard it, he understood what Ding Ruchang meant, and immediately agreed.

When Lin Daxin heard this, even the last trace of doubt disappeared.

At this time, Lin Daxin took out two 500-gram gold bars of modern time and space from his arms, put them on the tea party on the side, and said: "The lower officials know that the Admiral is worried about the funds of my Beiyang Naval Division, and it is difficult to sleep and eat!" Xiaguan these are a little bit for our Beiyang sailors! ”

Ding Ruchang saw the two golden gold bars, and was even more satisfied with Lin Daxin, leaving Lin Daxin to have lunch together, and told Lin Daxin to come to the Governor's Mansion to find him if he had any difficulties in the future.

In the end, Lin Daxin hoped to build the Weihai Weishui Master School in Beigou Village, which is not far from Weihai Acropolis and Weihaiwei Port, and Ding Ruchang agreed after a little consideration.

In the afternoon, Lin Daxin and the general office of Mr. Kang returned to Weihai Acropolis on the small steamboat of the Beiyang Naval Division.

The two returned to the humble station of the Sailor Academy in the Weihai Acropolis, where the chief teacher was Yu Fu, and the six teachers supported by the Tianjin Sailor Academy, including Jiang Hui, were there.

The general office Kang Daren gathered people together and announced that Lin Daxin was the deputy general office of the Sailor School, and was fully responsible for the preparation of the Sailor School and the management of the future Sailor School, and then the general office Kang Daren left under the pretext of being unwell, and instructed Lin Daxin when he left, and all the things in the school were handed over to Lin Daxin! His health has not been very good recently, and he will not come over in the future, if Lin Daxin has anything difficult, he can go to his house to find him.

With this general office, which doesn't care about anything, it is in line with Lin Daxin's mind, and he respectfully sent the general office, Mr. Kang, out of the gate.
