"Shuqi, sit, let's sit down and wait for someone!"

After entering the restaurant, Song Yuxin casually ordered, and then Tang Rongjun sat down.

The guy with the recipe in hand walked over.

"Two gentlemen, would you like to order food? Still is? ”

Song Yuxin waved his hand.

"If you don't order the food, take a copy of your specialty dish."

I didn't come here today to eat, but for another thing, but there was no reason to occupy people's places in vain, so I just gave a casual order.

"Mr. Song, let's come here today ......"

Tang Rongjun looked around curiously, could it be that there are any good dishes in this restaurant? Mr. Song wants to try it? But look at the one sitting on the side - Xu Zili, the guard in the middle guard of the Lord's Mansion, what's going on? If it was normal, he would have come out of the guards.

After sitting down for about a few minutes, while the two of them were drinking tea and waiting for the restaurant to be served, two big men walked in with a curtain, and saw one of the people dressed in a short dozen walking towards this side, looking at Mr. Song, Xu Zili hurriedly put his hand into his pocket, and his hand was on the handle of the six-shot revolver.

"Mr. Song, it's been a long time."

Another man who walked into the room said that he was saluting, but he sat down casually, and the unfamiliar voice with a northern Jiangsu accent sounded in front of the table, and Song Yuxin, who bowed his head and tasted tea, raised his head at this time, and the man in his forties who spoke immediately stood up with a smile.

"Master Xu, long gone, long gone"

"I can't talk about it for a long time, Mr. Song is an official figure, and he has taken the sea route since he beat this grain. Naturally, the dock officer from my ancestors came to an end. Naturally, I never dealt with the government again! ”

Xu Zi'an didn't even glance at him when he spoke. looked like he didn't take Song Yuxin in his eyes at all.

And hearing him say this, Tang Rongjun immediately realized who the person in front of him was, he was the master of the Green Gang, most of the coolies and gangsters on the docks in Shanghai were under his control, this Green Gang originated from the Boat Gang, and after the spontaneous chaos, the grain was changed to sea transportation, and the Boat Gang that lost its livelihood really became a gangster, and the person in front of him may also be the leader in Shanghai's lower nine streams.

"I'm too lazy to deal with the government!"

Xu Zi'an took the cigarette pouch off his mouth. Then he smiled at Tang Rongjun, who was beside Song Yuxin.

"But although I don't know Mr. Song, for Mr. Tang, I have been famous for a long time to open a bank like you!"

When he said this, Xu Zi'an looked at Tang Rongjun, a bank in Shanghai, but it was only limited to this, as soon as the North Korean bank opened, it could get 4 million taels of special funds deposited in the Hubei Governor's Palace.

"In the future, if Mr. Tang has something to drive him in the future, please speak up! Although it is said that it is mixed in the lower ninth rate. But this Nine Paths naturally has his use! ”

Xu Zi'an clenched his fists and said his identity lightly. It's all about doing business and talking about business.

"It's still going to take his day!"

Shaking his head slightly, Song Yuxin looked unimpressed about Xu Zi'an's snubbing, and the reason why he asked him was to discuss a business with him.

"Oh? I wonder what business Mr. Song is taking care of? ”

"Business, it's not a good deal! However, there is a small favor, but I need the help of Hall Master Xu! ”

After a slight pause, Song Yuxin said with a smile.

"When I was in Wuchang in the past, I heard that there was no business that Anqing Gang would not do, what to kill someone and cross the goods, kidnap a girl and tie a ticket or something, think about it, only you can help with this favor"

Song Yuxin's words only made Xu Zi'an's face change, although the Anqing Gang is not as good as it was back then, and they have lost their livelihood from grain, and the gangs along the river have done a lot of things about chickens and dogs in order to make a living. But no one has ever shaken this out in front of the An Qing Gang so disregardlessly!

"Have you ever heard that Mr. Song has heard that there are still waste people in this concession who have broken their hands and feet, and who can't eat, drink, and Lazar, and they are also done by the Anqing Gang!"

The voice was cold and the color changed, Xu Zi'an's voice was full of threat, and the big man standing on the side was holding the short fight on his body with his hand, looking like he was fighting accurately. But Xu Zili's hands were holding the handle of the revolver, staring at this person, as soon as this person made a move, he would immediately take this person down.

"If you haven't heard of it, I'm afraid this business won't be your turn......"

Song Yuxin's voice was not loud, but it was a kind of arrogance, and it was this appearance of ignoring his threats that made Xu Zixin even more annoyed, and he forced the dissatisfaction in his heart and shouted.

"I don't know what kind of business it is, so that Mr. Song can take care of me like this!"

"Actually, it's not a big deal!"

As he spoke, Song Yuxin's finger pointed out the window, only to see him lying on the side of the road begging.

"I look at the beggars in this place in Shanghai, there are many more beggars than other places, like this little beggars in their seventies and eighties, it is estimated that there are not two or three thousand, but there must be a thousand or eight hundred!"

Tang Rongjun, who was originally listening to a book from the sky, heard that Song Yuxin had been running around in a church school in Shanghai in the past few days, lobbying students everywhere to apply for the "Tongwen College" and the "first modern Western university in East Asia", he immediately understood what Song Yuxin wanted to do, could it be, he wanted to ...... He wants to follow the precedent of young children studying in the United States?

"What does Mr. Song mean by that?"

"What do you mean?"

Surprised, Song Yuxin threw three silver dollars on the table.

"I don't mean anything, just look at their yellow and thin appearance, look pitiful, and give them food!"

Song Yuxin's words were very relaxed, but in Xu Zi'an's ears, the taste changed, if you want to buy people, you just want to buy people, why give them food?

"What I want is not any labor, just this kind of little beggar on this street, just over four years old, the oldest is not more than fifteen years old, four oceans for one person, but in the limbs are sound and the mind is clear, I want to use Anqing to help this water and land wharf along the river unblocked, this favor is also simple!"

Pigs!

Xu Zi'an and Tang Rongjun's minds suddenly came up with such a word, compared to Tang Rongjun's surprise, Xu Zi'an was silent, more than 30 years ago, the Anqing Gang, who would lose their livelihood, also had a pig business, and it would even work with the officers and soldiers in private, the officers and soldiers sold those caught bandits to them, and they sold them to foreigners, but now there is no pig business, besides, what does this person want those children to do?

"You're talking about lightweight, people like this can at least sell ......"

Without waiting for Xu Zi to finish speaking, Song Yuxin asked with a smile.

"If there really is a place to sell it, how can there be so many little beggars on this street?"

When the words fell, Song Yuxin had already stood up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked.

"I'm still in Shanghai for five days, if Hall Master Xu figured it out and wanted to help with this, just send it directly to the dock warehouse rented by Beiyang Company, you are more familiar with that place than me, okay, I won't delay Hall Master Xu's time!"

Dropping such a sentence, Song Yuxin walked out of the private room directly, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, when the three of them walked out of the hotel, Tang Rongjun seemed to be unable to hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in a loud voice.

"Mr. Song, how can this be, this, this is not ......"

"Isn't this a buyer?"

Taking Tang Rongjun's words, Song Yuxin said helplessly.

"In the past few days, you have also been to those church schools with me, and the orphanage run by the church, how is the effect?"

His rhetorical question made Tang Rongjun dumb for a moment, what was the effect? Naturally, most of the students in the school were reluctant to apply for the so-called Tongwen College, and there were only dozens of people in more than a dozen church schools who were willing to apply, and most of the orphans in the church orphanage did not have this intention. It is a fact that the East Asian College of Liberal Arts, which has not yet started construction in Incheon, wants to recruit people, but no one wants to apply for it, and on the other hand, the Unification Inspectorate wants to establish a college in Tongguò to train its own talents.

"Mr. Song, Tongwen College, far away in North Korea, I once thought that if it could be set up in Shanghai, I would naturally have no worries about recruiting students, and the adults also agreed to set up Tongwen schools in Shanghai, Hankou and Tianjin?"

Tongbun School is equivalent to a middle school in Europe and the United States, and it is easier to recruit students by exempting tuition and living expenses, and after receiving two years of education, they will be admitted to the Tongbun College in Incheon by applying for the examination, which is actually the "preparatory school" of the student college, which is easier to recruit than directly recruiting students to study at Tongbun College thousands of miles away, and after two years of preparatory school, under the guidance and subtle influence of teachers, they are naturally more willing to go to Incheon.

In fact, as a young child studying in the United States, Tang Rongjun knows better than others why Chinese people are reluctant to go "overseas" to study. One is that the family is reluctant, and the other is that they regard overseas as a barbarian land, so everyone is naturally reluctant to go.

"Tongwen School is going to be run, but how many students can this Tongwen School recruit? With so many Chinese scholars, how many of them are willing to learn Western studies? But there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people who are proficient in foreign studies and have foreign talents, but the court pays attention to the eight-strand article! Even if we are free of tuition and provide food, how many families are willing to send their children to Tongwen schools? How many people who are willing to study don't want their children to glorify their ancestors? ”

Although he is a scholar, Song Yuxin does not have much of a good impression of the Bagu article, which may have a lot to do with his repeated failures, and he does not contradict Western studies.

"Look at this little beggar on the side of the road, although he has never studied, but if he enters the school, he is taught by the Master, and he is accustomed to foreign learning, although he will not become a person full of foreign talents, but he is a rough foreign scholar, and he can be used in the house, and he is ......."

After a pause, Song Yuxin smiled helplessly.

"This is the adult's idea, according to the adult's words, we can't run a school, let's run an orphanage first!" (To be continued......)
