"Your imperial examination reform is a bit nondescript." After listening to Li Yongji's recent actions, Zhang Xinda just smiled, "It's a person and a middle school student, I have a hard time listening to it, why don't you just make it into a modern education?" ”

"Isn't this taking care of the love of the scholar?" Li Yongji shrugged his shoulders, "I also want to engage in modern education, but others may not buy it, if I teach from scratch from primary school students, how long will it take to produce talents?" ”

"You're so worried." Zhang Xinda disagreed, "You said it yourself, most of the scholars in the Qing Dynasty were soft bones, you just re-establish a modern education system, and then give the modern education system related privileges, and then you don't need to promote it, those scholars themselves will rush to beg for kneeling and licking." ”

"Well, I'll be honest. I think it's a pity that thousands of years of tradition have just been thrown away. Back then, we were completely westernized, there was no way, who let the country be beaten to pieces, and the result was a reversal.

But now that we still have the strength, why can't we combine the traditions? Not to mention the distance, let's talk about Japan in that time and space, their traditional culture is well maintained, so I think since I have the opportunity, I should keep my traditional culture. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yongji paused before continuing: "For example, the imperial examination, although I also know that the imperial examination system has fallen behind, it is still good to improve some traditions slightly. You see that I am now in combination with the modern education system, isn't it also good? My imperial examination reform is a modern education mechanism in its bones, but it retains some terms from the imperial examination era, don't you think it's good? Not only the imperial examination, when I take power and establish the country in the future, I will revive Hanfu and revive traditional Chinese culture! Don't you think this is the posture of a great country with a long history? ”

"Okay, that's all you right." Zhang Xinda said, "But I don't understand why you set the primary school for six years?" Be. I'll admit that this is also the time in our modern primary school, but that's for the pursuit of all-round development, but you're different, what you need is fast and effective, and it doesn't take that long at all.

You see, primary school is mainly to lay the foundation, learn Chinese and mathematics, Chinese, with Chinese pinyin. If you memorize by rote, it will take about two years to learn 3,000 words that are commonly used, and if it is mathematics, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, two years is about the same. In this way, the basic application is sufficient, and then it is strengthened, such as adding four operations to arithmetic. Add some grammar to the language, learn poetry appreciation, and the total four years are almost enough; Then, we began to develop junior high school students and secondary school students. Concentrate on assault mathematics, physics and chemistry, so that you can quickly accumulate available talents. ”

"How can I be?" Li Yongji shook his head, "Even if the children of my era don't have as much playtime as modern children, if you want to learn the modern primary school curriculum in four years." That's still some uprooting, and it's not good for their intellectual development. As you said, elementary school is about laying the foundation. If you don't have a solid foundation, it will only be more difficult to learn something else in the future.

What's more, the nutritional level of children in this era can't keep up, and the intellectual development can't be compared with modern children, and I still think it's less in six years.

Why should I be free in elementary school and provide two meals? It is to figure out this way to strengthen the nutrition of the children under his rule. I have already thought about it, for the time being, limited by financial resources, the meals provided to them cannot be too rich, and the meat, eggs and milk are estimated to be unable to fully meet in a short period of time, but I can use modern nutritional tablets, soy milk powder or protein powder to supplement.

In fact, you also know that although the ingredients of modern various vitamin tablets and protein powders are good, most of the modern Chinese do not need them at all, after all, the economic level of modern China, the basic diet of the Chinese people at that time can fully provide the needs of growth.

In other words, those vitamins and the like are more suitable for people in areas where they are malnourished and have low incomes, and they are not needed at all for high incomes. It just so happens that people in my time belong to the low-income, poorly nourished population, and in the case of insufficient basic diet, providing vitamin tablets and protein powders and the like is very good for their physical growth, no worse than the effect of milk.

I have six years to recuperate these children, and when the first batch of children are about to graduate, they will lay a good physical foundation, so that their height and intelligence can also grow up when they grow up, and the first phase of my vegetable basket project is estimated to have some results, so that I can continue to maintain, and even the compulsory education in junior high school can be promoted.

Besides, the sixth year of primary school is also the easiest time to brainwash, at this time, to strengthen their loyalty and patriotism, to live a group life early, to cultivate their group habits and collective will, whether they are soldiers or workers, or as technicians and scientists, it is the most suitable for them. ”

Seeing Li Yongji's impassioned appearance of waving his fist, Zhang Xinda pursed his lips: "Well, it seems that you really plan to become the emperor, when will it be?" I've persuaded you for so long, you've been delaying for so long, so when are you going to be the emperor? ”

"Why do you want to take down Beijing?" Li Yongji shook his head and said, "With my current prestige, there is no need to put on a layer of imperial power to unite people's hearts. It is not child's play to establish the country and claim the emperor, it is better to defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty and seize the power of national orthodoxy, and then call the emperor, don't you think? ”

"I think? I think you're looking for trouble on your own. Zhang Xinda shook his head, "In my opinion, it is better to be called emperor early than later, but since you have to defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then it's up to you." But I'm going to say a few more words at this point, the time is almost up, and you should have planned for defeating the Manchus earlier. Nothing else, but aren't you planning to trick the Americans? The American Civil War should be about to start in a year, and if you can't stabilize the country before then, it will be more troublesome for you to reach out and fish in troubled waters. ”

"I know." Li Yongji smiled, "Don't worry, I already have a plan, my current main force has three divisions and 60,000 people, all of them are soldiers, and the current training situation is about the same, in addition to a large number of garrison divisions and militia troops, it won't be long before I should launch the Northern Expedition." But speaking of which, didn't I tell you about the siege cannon before, how did you prepare for me? ”

"Oooh oh. Look at you, I was originally going to talk about this, but as soon as you came up, you told me about the imperial examination, and you almost forgot about it. Zhang Xinda patted his head, "Come on, come on, let's see what good things I have prepared for you." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xinda opened his body sideways, revealing the big screen behind him, and then Zhang Xinda opened his mobile phone and swiped, and a large-scale picture soon appeared on the big screen.

"What you see now. It is a domestically produced AH-4 ultralight 155mm howitzer! Zhang Xinda picked up a stainless steel teaching rod and pointed to the picture on the screen and said, "This ah-4 155mm ultra-light towed howitzer, like the British M777 howitzer, uses high-strength titanium alloy and lightweight aluminum alloy, and the weight of the whole gun is less than 3.8 tons. Of course, some improvements have been made.

As you can see in the figure, this artillery barrel is 39 times the caliber, and in addition to firing all 155 mm projectiles of all standards in our country, it can also fire NATO 155 shells. Available ammunition is plentiful.

According to practical tests, the maximum firing range of an ordinary grenade is 39 km, 43 km for a concave projectile and 71 km for a bottom row. The composite extended-range projectile is 138 km.

The gun also adopts a domestically produced modern fire control system, which includes a fire control computer, a ballistic computer, a gun commander's display control device and a gunner's display, muzzle velocity and azimuth sensors, and an indirect positioning device for towing artillery. The mounting interface of the entire fire control system was considered at the beginning of the design, together with the automatic ammunition loser. A single cannon can complete the shooting equipment in less than 2.5 minutes.

A cannon is usually operated by 9 people, and if necessary, 5 people can also operate, and the rate of fire of the gun can reach 5 rounds per minute in bursts of fire in intensive fire and 2 rounds per minute in continuous fire.

That is to say, this kind of cannon has the advantages of simple operation, easy to get started, high accuracy, etc., it is easier to operate than ordinary artillery, the fire control panel is a touch screen, people with primary school education level in black Africa, you can play it with a little training, presumably the artillery of your time, you can also play it very easily.

Due to its light weight, mules and horses could also be pulled, and the road conditions in China in the mid-nineteenth century this cannon was fully adaptable.

Of course, the most important point is that this gun is cheap, more than half cheaper than the same type of M777 howitzer, and the export price of foreign trade is only 800,000 US dollars, which is super cost-effective.

You haven't seen the real body of the artillery, it's so beautiful. Seriously, this artillery is not even equipped with China itself, it is the first way to go to the exit, and I am also a friend of South Africa who has the priority to get it, and the opportunity is rare.

After all, you just want to have a siege gun, and one or two cannons like this are enough, but they have to order twelve at a time to sell, only more and not less, and after buying in the name of Mozambique, you have to pay a lot of handling fees in the middle, and the actual purchase price is one million dollars a piece, I finally gritted my teeth and simply bought twelve back.

But it's going to have to take a few days, so you can wait a week at the latest. Isn't that looking forward to hearing me say that? ”

"Looking forward to your sister!" Li Yongji said sourly, "One million dollars for one door? At this price, I bought four or five tanks for 59 tanks! I just want artillery that can blast open the city gates of the Qing Dynasty, you can just give a World War II artillery, such as the Type 54 122mm gun, why buy such an expensive one? Weight? I have a gold finger, weight is not a problem at all, it's a big deal when I get to the place, you can teleport it to me again, why bother so much? ”

"You can't say that." Zhang Xinda touched his nose and said with a smile, "You can't always be that golden finger, you always have to make people get used to it." The fire control of this gun is quite good, so you don't have to work hard. ”

"Did you pay?" Li Yongji asked, "Can I return it?" ”

"Uh, paid." Zhang Xinda whispered, "I bought it in the name of the Mozambican state, how can I return it?" ”

"What a loser!" Li Yongji patted his forehead, "Twelve doors, that's 12 million US dollars?" it, Fake! ”

"Ahem, I bought everything, you don't have to care about this little money, you should support the country's national defense, after all, what I buy is domestic, patriotic." Zhang Xinda smiled, "What's more, after this series of purchases, my relationship with domestic arms companies is not bad." In the future, if you buy arms from them, it will probably be cheaper. Just like you said about the Type 54 122mm guns, I remember that there are quite a few retired in China, and I will point it out with them next time. ”

"Forget it, if it's a field battle, I'll have more than enough mortars for the time being." Li Yongji shook his head, "As for the siege, your twelve defeated cannons are completely enough." 155 caliber ah, tsk, in the words of modern ammunition. At least in my time, there was no city gate or wall that could block it. ”

"yes." Zhang Xinda nodded, "Don't talk about blowing up the city wall, you can even use it as a shore defense cannon to fight a battleship." Ordinary grenades are 39 kilometers, if you replace them with armor-piercing shells, coupled with a modern fire control system, at the level of a battleship in the mid-nineteenth century, no matter how much you come, you will be able to send food. ”

"Battleship? Speaking of which. The clipper I gave you last time, how did you modify it? Li Yongji asked again.

Li Yongji is talking about one of the three clippers he bought with the Americans, and it is still the smallest one, because of modernization. In this era, it will definitely not work, after all, it is not just about equipment, nor is it about adding artillery, but also involves a series of complex problems. So it can only be sent to the modern era, in a modern dock for reconstruction.

"You said that ship is still being refitted." Zhang Xinda said. "It's not so easy to transform a ship, even if you don't add weapons, it's not something that can be done for a while, not to mention that you have to pretend to be artillery. By the way, it was really not cost-effective for you to buy a clipper boat that time, I bought you two sail training ships here a long time ago, both of which are steel-hulled sailboats with propellers, not much stronger than yours? ”

"Can that be the same?" Li Yongji shook his head, and then after a pause, he continued, "There is one more thing, I hope you don't have too much contact with arms in the future, that's it, in the future, you should salvage more civilian equipment for me." ”

"No contact with arms?" Zhang Xinda was stunned, "Why?" What will your army do without my arms? ”

"I have another way." Li Yongji shook his head.

"What's the solution? Tell me about it. Zhang Xinda said, "If you don't say it, I can only continue to provide you with arms." I know you're doing it for my good, but I'm just a friend of yours, and I can't watch you play to yourself. ”

"Playing to the death? That's too much. Li Yongji said with a smile.

"Cut, let's not talk about the second brother." Zhang Xinda said, "If you don't have a golden finger, then at your level, can you mix so well?" To put it bluntly, don't look at you and I are all in a good mood, but we actually still have two waste firewood in our bones, what do you want, what you can't do.

As for you, you don't have a plan to do things, and I don't have a long way to do things, and I can't complain that we failed so much before. In other words, failure as a person cannot be attributed to luck alone, and your own level is also very important. Of course, you and I are different from the past, but that is also the result of the migration of qi and the transfer of body, with the help of sufficient materials and golden fingers, but it is not how strong we are. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xinda paused, and then continued: "I know, you are for my good, and you don't let me touch arms for my safety, but it's easy to solve on my side, but once you don't have modern arms support there, what will you do with that mess?" ”

"I can find someone else to provide me with arms." Li Yongji hesitated slightly, but still spoke, "Well, so far, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I found out two days ago that the system has just opened a new skill, that is, it can increase the number of agents, and I haven't used it yet." So, I plan to let the new agent specialize in munitions in the future, and you will be responsible for making money for me, as well as people's livelihood, in short, I hope you try to stay away from dangerous things, what do you think? ”

"Can you get a new agent?" Zhang Xinda was stunned for a moment, and then began to frown, "Is it reliable?" I'm not talking about the system, but I need to have enough trust on both sides, and if the new agent is not reliable, it will not be difficult to trick you. ”

"You can rest assured, people are absolutely reliable." Li Yongji smiled, but he didn't tell him that he could modify the agent's subconscious, and even accuse the agent of life and death.

"That's ......" Zhang Xinda suddenly fell silent, as if he was also digesting this new information.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with you, on the contrary, I'm quite happy with you." Li Yongji is telling the truth, because so far, he has not taken the initiative to modify Zhang Xinda's subconscious, nor has he used life and death issues to control the other party, but he is so wholeheartedly helping himself, and his friend has done this. It is indeed enough.

You must know that modern society is indifferent, it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and prosperity, Zhang Xinda does not know that this space-time trading system can control agents, which is equivalent to saying that he has a lot of autonomy, after all, on the surface, it is impossible for Li Yongji to travel back, so he is so wholeheartedly helping, it is indeed enough buddy.

"As you said. I don't want you to be in danger. Li Yongji continued, "It's only been a year now, and you said that you would go to South Africa to set up some small companies, get some Sharps rifles, retro Napoleon guns, and grenadiers, but now you are buying cannons and munitions, and how many of these things have a good end for private people?" So. I hope that you will no longer have access to arms in the future, do ordinary business with me, and then help me to modernize, which will be much safer. ”

"Safety? You think I don't play arms. Am I safe? Don't be silly. Zhang Xinda shook his head, "Don't say anything else, you give me those golden jade, you think I'm playing in South Africa." Isn't it smuggling? Isn't it from an unknown source?

In fact, my name has long been in the eyes of some well-intentioned people in this world, but I am not the only one who smuggles, and I have been mixing in South Africa. That's ...... To tell the truth, I play arms for self-preservation, because if I want to buy a lot of arms, I have to contact a large number of arms dealers, and most of the arms dealers have a national background, which means that I am looking for a thigh hug!

Seriously, I am now a person with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, but unfortunately most of them can't see the light, so not only do I dare not return to China, but I even have to bring a large group of bodyguards with me when I go in and out, in other words, the life of ordinary people has long been far away from me, if I really let go of this qiē, believe it or not, tomorrow I will be killed on the street, or kidnapped by a certain force. ”

“…… I'm sorry, I hurt you. Li Yongji sighed.

"It's not a question of who harms whom, it's all our own choice." Zhang Xinda sighed, "How to say it, as I said before, who made us essentially ordinary waste wood born in the era of peace." With a golden finger, it's like a person who is poor and rich, we don't have much background at all, but we use time and space smuggling to get a lot of wealth in a short period of time. During this period, you naturally made mistakes, and I didn't get much better.

Like, why am I like this now? Such as going in and out of the bodyguard? It's not because I'm not cautious enough, I used to be found out when I was selling smuggled jadeite gold, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu's money, and luck, I found out about the army in advance, I would have been kidnapped.

You said you wouldn't let me touch the arms, I'll be honest with you, do you think I can let go now? Do you think that the arms smuggling industry is to stop doing it if you don't do it? It's not that easy.

When I stepped into the arms smuggling business, I really had no way out. I'm on the list of arms smugglers, Americans, Russians, Chinese, French, Italians, they all keep an eye on me. Why did I buy mainly Chinese arms later? That's because I'm actually an agent of Chinese arms now.

That's right, the kind of private arms dealer that is not officially recognized by the state, but which can give me limited support. Otherwise, why do you think I can buy so many Chinese arms so quickly? How can I gain a foothold in South Africa? It's not just that Chinese arms dealers need to rely on me to open up the market, but because China is strong enough and has a lot of influence in South Africa.

Believe it or not, if I dare to do nothing, those arms bosses in China will definitely lose their support for me, and then those South African white devils and black devils will eat me immediately, and I won't even be able to escape. ”

"It won't be so strict, right?" Li Yongji smacked his tongue, "You didn't say that before." ”

"Can I tell you anything like that?" Zhang Xinda lightly took out a cigar and lit it with a lighter, "Even if I say it, in addition to increasing your worries, what can you do?" So I've been saying, you're actually doing pretty well, because I'm not doing very well. ”

"Then you're not in danger now, are you?" Li Yongji frowned.

"It's fine." Zhang Xinda shrugged his shoulders, "Recently, China's economy has been weak, especially those arms state-owned enterprises, life is very difficult, seeing that I can continue to place orders, Zhengle can't do it." So, when I buy their expensive artillery, it actually means bribery.

That's right, I'll be honest with you, the kind of ultra-light 155 mm artillery we made in China, don't look at how good it is, in fact, there is no market at all, because as you said, it is too expensive, not cost-effective, and it is worse than the M777 on the market, after all, the M777 artillery is in it.

In fact, the manufacturers who produce this kind of domestic ultra-light 155-mm guns are simply losing money, and I buy 12 of them, in fact, I am also subsidizing them.

As for the relationship between Mozambique, to be honest, I can actually ignore them, but the reason why I want to go to Mozambique is actually to use this way to bribe Mozambican high-ranking officials and create another cave for me in Mozambique.

Yes, I have enclosed a private plot of land in Mozambique, nominally for industrial development and to build a port, but in reality it is to help you and create a way back for me. I say that, do you understand? ”

"Understood." Li Yongji said, "It's really hard for you." ”

"Therefore, we can only continue on this road, we can only climb up, not backwards! If you retreat, you will be in the abyss! Zhang Xinda took a puff of his cigar, squinted his eyes in the clouds and said, "We can only keep getting bigger, stronger, more ruthless, and more ruthless, otherwise we can only be swallowed by the surroundings." Hehe, for example, if you don't become the emperor, you will definitely be a dead end, and me, if I am not an arms dealer and smuggler, I will also be a dead end.

But on the other hand, if I keep going and keep working, then there are too many interest groups that rely on me for food, and then I can live a very nourishing life. Do you know that in South Africa, I, Zhang Xinda, am also the number one person, and everyone doesn't dare to call me by my name directly, only Mr. Zhang. In addition, once many Chinese in South Africa have problems, many of them do not look for the local government, but come directly to me, and I, in many cases, only need one sentence to do a lot of things that the South African government and local ruffians can't do. By the way, here in South Africa, I don't know how many people died directly or indirectly at my hands, at least more than fifty, hehehe.

I also compare my heart with my heart, so I advise you to become emperor as soon as possible, of course, your situation is different from mine, so I also respect your decision. ”

"Hmm." Li Yongji was speechless for a while, so he could only nod.

"Ouch, look at me, I can't stop talking." Zhang Xinda patted his head, "What did we say before, you can have a new agent?" ”

"Yes." Li Yongji smiled, "As soon as I said it, you came to a tirade." ”

"It's better to be like this, what about the arms, I've already got it, I can't take it off, so I'll provide you with arms and materials professionally in the future, and you let the newcomer provide civilian equipment." Zhang Xinda spit out a smoke ring and smiled lightly, "If you are a newcomer, you should still be innocent, so don't harm others, besides, I found that I prefer arms, but I am not interested in any civilian equipment." That's it, how? ”

"Actually......" Li Yongji said this, suddenly stopped, and then nodded with a smile, "Okay, just do as you say, my good brother!" (To be continued......)
