(The big chapter is about to be put on the shelves, book friends support it more, and I am grateful.) ）

"At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away..."

In a relatively simple private school, a middle-aged teacher, wearing a thick cotton jacket and holding a ring ruler in his hand, patrolled back and forth with six or seven-year-old children.

"First, sir, there's someone out there—" said a boy with a slightly gray face in a somewhat frightened voice.

Zhang Jingxuan saw a large group of soldiers stop at the door of the private school, and the young officer at the head of the group had a radiant face, dressed in a new-style military uniform, wearing a tweed coat, and his momentum was extraordinary, and he dismounted and walked towards this side.

"Stay outside, don't freak out the kids." Qin Yu waved his hand to Ding Cheng and the others, and then looked at Zhang Jingxuan and said, "During this time, the situation in Fengtian City is turbulent, and many private schools have suspended classes. ”

"The adults are too polite, the humble house is simple, there is nothing to entertain the adults, it should be in the next place to ask the adults not to blame." Zhang Jingxuan saluted Qin Yu without humility or arrogance, "No matter how turbulent the situation in Fengtian City is, no matter who governs Fengtian City in the future, we should pay attention to these students. ”

"That's right, if you start with a child, is that still a person?" Qin Yu looked at everything in the private school, the old table, two or three people crowded together, in addition to the location is not big enough, the wind blowing in from the broken window from time to time also makes people feel quite cold, huddled together can also play a role in heating, several students will have a tin pot or clay pot next to them, and there is some red-hot charcoal in it.

The windows of this era are all sealed with paper, and the light is naturally not very good, and the kerosene lamps in the private school are reluctant to use during the day, and in the entire private school, Qin Yu only saw four or five pieces of paper, the words on them are densely written, and there are not many brushes, and one or two students are still holding branches in their hands, and the writing is all on the clay tablet. The provincial capital of Fengtian is still like this, and in more remote places, it is difficult for Qin Yu to imagine how backward this era is, and he has been busy with wool spinning and leather goods before. Or even a steel mill of several million taels. At this time, Qin Yu felt that he had neglected some things, some small things, but very important things.

"Foreigners say that they can see the future of a country and a nation from the students, these students are so hard, the provincial cities are still like this, and the remote villages can be imagined." Seeing the scene in front of him, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Zhang Jingxuan's heart was hot, at least he could feel that Qin Yu's words were from the bottom of his heart, not pretentious. And in addition to him, there are more than a dozen children who are not very sensible under his nose, and Qin Yu has no false sense.

"My lord is right, but the situation is like this, and there is nothing to do." Zhang Jingxuan sighed.

"As long as someone takes the initiative to stand up, there will always be changes, Japan is a small country with few people, a place of bullets, and the reform of the people's rule to this day, it is only a few decades to be able to occupy a place among the great powers, my Chinese population is hundreds of millions, and the territory is thousands of miles, as long as you want this mind, sooner or later you can also be among the great powers." Qin Yu said confidently, the skills of this era are far from being as disparity as those of later generations, as long as you are willing to work, it will not be difficult to catch up in one or two decades.

Zhang Jingxuan was silent, he was just a poor teacher, how could he be qualified to say such things.

"I think the change starts here, there is a lot of vacant land near this private school, not to mention hundreds of acres, and it is not too tight to build a primary school here." Qin Yu said.

"My lord, are you serious?" Zhang Jingxuan's voice trembled a little.

"Naturally, if you want, you can stay and witness the birth of this small institute and become the first principal." Qin Yu nodded.

"Good, good, the grass people are not talented, and they are willing to witness the birth of this primary school." Zhang Jingxuan nodded again and again, as if he was afraid that Qin Yu would regret it.

"I'm Qin Yu, after you finish the class here, go to the Governor's Mansion to find me."

Ending the conversation with Zhang Jingxuan, Qin Yu got on his horse again and galloped towards the Governor's Palace.

"You invite a few people in Fengtian Provincial City who have some influence in education and teaching to the Governor's Palace." Before meeting with Ni Jiting, Qin Yu said to Ding Zhuan, "Let's talk about the future of Fengtian education, if you don't want to come, forget it." Before seeing Ni Jiting, Qin Yu gave Wang Yuhai an order.

"Lord Qin, you just got married, so you are in such a hurry to ask me out to talk about business?" Ni Jiting was one step ahead of Qin Yu, and he had already sat in the Governor's Mansion for a while.

"Career and love are always in the forefront." Qin Yu smiled, Ni Jiting didn't seem to have a very good relationship with his husband, and it was not difficult to find a good-looking one with his status and wealth, and he could guess with his toes that Ni Jiting was probably a victim of a political marriage, and Qin Yu's words just scratched his itch.

"Lord Qin is right, career is the most important thing." Ni Jiting has a feeling of finding a confidant. "I wonder what happened to Lord Qin calling me from Harbin in such a hurry this time?"

"There are a few things that need to be done." Qin Yu said.

"First, I want to buy 10,000 water rifles, it's still the old rule, I don't want it if it's in poor condition, 2 million rounds of ammunition, 15 heavy machine guns, and 300,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition. YOUR COUNTRY HAS 36 76MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, EACH WITH 300 SHELLS. ”

"Second, I need one or two production lines that can produce bullets."

"Third, I use the woolen and leather goods factory in Taonan as collateral to borrow money from you. You make an offer. ”

When World War I broke out, the Russian soldiers suffered a lot of losses in the rifle shooting. However, considering that the manufacture of Shui Lianzhu rifles is simpler, the cost is lower, and it is more suitable for the Northeast, which has no industrial base in the future, Qin Yu has nothing to be picky about, in fact, Shui Lianzhu still has room for improvement, and Lao Maozi's gun-making concept is not much behind others, and later the famous AK47 was made by Lao Maozi.

Of course, the purchase of Lao Maozi's arms is mainly based on the fact that the price is cheap now, and it can also save a lot of freight.

"Hey, Lord Qin, your courage is really not small. The opening is the equipment of a division. Ni Jiting gasped.

"Old friend, this time my country's prime minister gave me the establishment of a division, and a division is stationed in Mukden, but I still have a lot of agriculture in Taonan, so naturally it is impossible to throw aside the stalls over there, and I am not at ease if I don't have a capable army there." Qin Yu smiled slightly.

"Firearms are easy to handle, but whether I can get so much, I'm not sure, the bullet production line has been strictly controlled in my country in the past two years, I'm afraid I can't get it." Ni Jiting's face was embarrassed, thousands of rifles, gritted his teeth and got it, this time the number is so large, I am afraid that it will not be possible to rely on the influence of a few officers in the network alone. If you report it further, it is not within his control.

"How much can you get, the bullet production line, you should be able to entrust an acquaintance to buy it from the United States, and then it should be easier to transfer it to me." Qin Yu didn't care about Ni Jiting's squeak, even if Ni Jiting couldn't get it in China, it would not be difficult to buy from the United States, the previous arms procurement was just a disguise, and the bullet production line was what Qin Yu wanted most. Of course, it is good to be able to buy arms. If Qin Yu directly proposed to the U.S. consul to buy it, let alone whether it could be bought, even if it was bought, there was no basis for cooperation before, and Qin Yu didn't know if the news would reach Yuan Shikai's ears.

However, Ni Jiting has a few years of cooperation and entanglement of interests, so he is not worried about what he will do in this kind of thing.

"I'll try." Ni Jiting nodded and said, "When the time comes, I'll give you news to Lord Qin, by the way, how much does Lord Qin want to borrow this time?" ”

"My two factories have invested almost three million dollars, and now they have a profit of one million and hundreds of thousands a year, and they will increase next year, so it should be nothing if I borrow four million gold rubles." Speaking of loans, Qin Yu smiled and said, in the past two years, the interests of Tsarist Russia have been repaid, although Tsarist Russia has made a little money, but before the collapse of Tsarist Russia, it will definitely not be finished, and when will it be better to borrow more money at this time?

In Stephen Chow's words, there was once an opportunity to borrow money in front of me, which I didn't cherish, and I didn't regret it until I lost it. If God gives me another chance to borrow money.......

"Four million gold rubles?"

Ni Jiting's hand holding the heather pipe shook and almost fell to the ground. Qin Yu took out a cigarette funny, lit it with a match, and then shook it and extinguished the match.

"Why, it scared you for only four million gold rubles?"

"Lord Qin, it's only four million gold rubles, you really dare to say this." Ni Jiting shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"My two factories are benign assets, and the output value is worth about this amount for another year's profit, is it a lot? As long as this loan can be reached, old friends you can get the benefits of this amount. Qin Yu stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand rubles?" Ni Jiting asked tentatively.

"Ten thousand gold rubles, am I so stingy? One hundred thousand gold rubles. Qin Yu shook his head and smiled.

"One hundred thousand gold rubles?" Ni Jiting thought that he had misheard, and his breathing suddenly became heavy. One hundred thousand gold rubles, with such a sum of money, whether in the United States, Britain or France, it is enough to be a rich man and live a life without any pressure. In the past two years, the cooperation with Qin Yu has become closer and closer, and Ni Jiting has made a lot of money, but before that, his savings did not add up so much.

"Not bad." Qin Yu nodded and asked Ni Jiting to make sure he was not mistaken.

"Lord Qin, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to facilitate the conclusion of this loan." There is no need to pay any cost, and Qin Yu does have enough collateral, the quality of the woolen wool shipped to Harbin this year has been significantly improved compared with before, and the woolen wool produced by the British and Germans is no longer a few points apart. Woolen woolen wool is slightly inferior, but compared with the price advantage, the difference is understandable. Ni Jiting has seen the scale of those two factories, even if Qin Yu says more, the moisture should not be too big. The carpets, cheap woolen boots, coats, and spirits produced from Taonan have been relatively good in the market among the Tsarist Russians in Heilongjiang in the past two years

"Well, I hope our cooperation is as pleasant as ever." Qin Yu picked up the wine jug next to him and poured a glass of wine for each of them, and drank it all.

"It will be, but speaking of Lord Qin, your career is actually one of the witnesses, although you were rich before, the funds you may have mobilized are relatively limited, in just a few years, the wealth you have created is simply jaw-dropping, enviable, I wonder if Lord Qin has any way to get rich?" Ni Jiting asked tentatively.

"The money in the world is inexhaustible, I set up a chamber of commerce, in this chamber of commerce, there are more business opportunities, money in hand, there will always be so much money, if you invest in the world, you can almost recover the cost in a year or two, if you are interested, I can introduce you to join this chamber of commerce." Qin Yu thought for a while and said, money itself is not sinful, there are a number of rich people among the Tsarist Russian nobles, since Ni Jiting took the initiative to come forward, it is better to take this opportunity to start contacting the capital power of the Tsarist Russian nobles, if you can get a sum of money to invest, it is also a GDP created for the Northeast. It is also the employment of the Northeast that is stimulated, and the industrial base of the Northeast is also grown.

What's more, the relationship between them has gone further, and it is logical to reap more benefits before the collapse of the Russian Empire. Regarding the certain industrial base accumulated by Tsarist Russia, Qin Yu is very suspicious. Not to mention anything else, Tsarist Russia's artillery-making technology, ship-building technology, armored trains, and large-caliber naval artillery manufacturing technology are all very useful things for the Northeast. If these techniques are overcome by themselves and cultivate talents, it will take a few years for technicians and technicians, and it will take a few years to overcome them.

There are nothing poor in Tsarist Russia, but the aristocrats of Tsarist Russia are a golden mountain that can be discovered in Qin Yu's eyes.

"Can the money invested really pay for itself within a year or two?" Ni Jiting is not as rich as Qin Yu, and the family he has saved in his hands can't afford to spend a few times, so he naturally has to be cautious.

"If you hesitate, I haven't said anything about it, of course, any investment is also risky, and it doesn't mean that you won't lose money." Of course, Qin Yu knows the truth that he wants to get away with it, and if he blindly says something good, Ni Jiting, an old fox, probably won't be hooked so easily.

"Otherwise, Lord Qin has any way to reveal it to me first, and I will personally examine it before making a decision, so that even if I lose money later, I can't complain about others." Ni Jiting gritted his teeth and said.

"Some of the small factories in my hands have been sold, and the remaining large factories have no plans to transfer shares for the time being, there is a sugar master in Taonan, and there is a sugar workshop on hand, planning to expand production, I don't know if there is any intention of cooperative operation, and the profit is not bad. I plan to buy some machines, but I don't have the money. If you are interested, you can contact him through the Chamber of Commerce. There are some other ways in the Chamber of Commerce, you will know the Tao after a long time of contact with them, and I don't interfere much in the specific affairs inside, if you decide, I can introduce you to it. Qin Yu said.

"Then thank you Lord Qin." Ni Jiting nodded.

"No thanks, we are all old friends, and there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future." Qin Yu said with a smile, although Ni Jiting had hacked Qin Yu once in terms of price when he was settling hungry people in Taonan before, but he finally allowed Qin Yu to get a lot of food, if he could suck in the Russian nobles through Ni Jiting's introduction this time and take root in the northeast, it would not matter if Qin Yu directly ignored it during the festival.

"My lord, Mr. Zhang Jingxuan, the teacher of the previous private school, has arrived."

"My lord, the others are almost there." The guards at the gate reported one after another.

"Well, I'll be right over." Qin Yu straightened his clothes and walked towards the other living room in the Governor's Palace.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." Qin Yu smiled when he saw that the hall was full of intellectuals wearing robes and small hats, dressed either shabby or decent.

"Lord Qin is busy with military affairs, so it's okay for me to sit down for a while." An older man laughed.

"Okay, this cold day invited you from home, it's a bit abrupt, I'm a soldier, I won't beat around the bush, so I'll just talk straight. I grew up in Gaizhou and spent a few years in both Benxi and Taonan, and I was deeply saddened by the backwardness of education in Fengtian Province. Nowadays, the Western powers all have four years of compulsory education, but in Fengtian Province, there are countless students who have dropped out of school. Westerners advocate new learning, and Mukden still follows the previous education system. In the long run, the gap with the great powers has widened. I have called you here today to discuss with all of you what we should do to revitalize the backward education in Mukden Province. ”

"What the adults said is very reasonable, but the current situation of education in Fengtian Province has been followed for hundreds of years, and it can't be easily changed, according to the meaning of adults, even if it is a new school and a new school, where is the capital, where are the teachers, books, paper, all the needs are almost blank, even if there is a good idea, I am afraid that it is useless for heroes." A middle-aged man dressed shabby, but the person looks very spiritual.

"What is this gentleman called?" Qin Yu asked.

"Lord Rin, grass people Xie Yinchang." Xie Yinchang got up and saluted Qin Yu.

"In fact, teachers, teaching materials, these things can be solved, everything is difficult at the beginning, if you don't start this head, you will always be in the same place, in the final analysis, it is still a money word, as long as Lord Qin can solve the problem of funds, the teacher can ask, and the teaching materials can be bought. After forming a certain atmosphere, Fengtian can also compile its own teaching materials, although the books of foreigners are good, but the cultural essence of the ancestors cannot be lost. Zhang Jingxuan said.

"Mr. Zhang means to remove the dross and take the essence." Qin Yu said with a smile. "Okay, since there is no overseer in Fengtian Province now, I will first finalize this matter, and I will figure out how to do it with pens, characters, and school buildings. This year, construction of 10 primary schools, a primary normal school, and a higher normal school began in the provincial capital of Fengtian. The total investment is expected to be about 300,000 yuan. I will have the money transferred within three days, and then there will be a special accounting review team to oversee the use of the money. ”

"Wow!" Suddenly the nest exploded below.

"Three, 300,000 yuan, is what the adults said true?" Zhang Jingxuan, Xie Yinchang, and the others all said with a look of disbelief.

"Do I look like a joke?" Qin Yu first smiled, and then said, "When I was young, I didn't learn anything, and it was almost the same as never going to school. I didn't think there was anything before, but after dealing with the foreign powers a few times, I realized that whether it is the current wire, telephone, telegraph, or the production and manufacture of various machinery, everything is inseparable from knowledge. The gap between us and the great powers is also here, and there are some things that we don't want to do, but we don't know how to do them. ”

"First, no one has invested much in education, and our descendants will still be unproductive in the future, and they will be oppressed by others. So now, no matter how hard it is, we have to squeeze out money to let the children of Mukden read more books and grow more knowledge. There are always people to do these things, I think it starts with all the gentlemen here, teaching and educating people I am a layman, I don't understand anything, and in the future, I mainly rely on the efforts of all of you, please! Qin Yu got up and bent down and bowed to everyone present.

"My lord is so courteous, for the prosperity of Fengtian's education, we dare not do our best?" Zhang Jingxuan, Xie Yinchang and others looked excited, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, and some other sophisticated old men were also moved by Qin Yu's sincerity and bowed down one after another.
