Chapter 208 Return to Zhoujiazhuang
Fu'an was startled, and hurriedly pleaded: "My lord, our family's small business is small, but it is not as good as those princes, 100,000 taels of silver is indeed beyond our ability to bear."
Fu'an listed a lot of reasons, all of which were instructed by Fuxing's old lady Herisher, such as Beijing City is not as good as the locality, selling a house and borrowing money will be guessed by someone who cares about it, which will affect Fuxing's future, etc., hoping to win sympathy, Fuxing is more and more listening, although he was posthumously named the Minister of the Guards and the White Flag surprised him, but he knew that Wang Feng was not a good stubble at all, and even worried that Wang Feng would take the opportunity to increase the price!
Sure enough, Wang Feng smiled coldly: "This is a bad thing to turn into a good thing, the captured can actually be added to the official and become a knight, and the Qing Dynasty can have this kind of strange thing, less wordy, I have not raised the price is already benevolent and righteous, you open your eyes and take a look, now Su Song Taichang has all belonged to me, and the taxes of Suzhou alone account for 10% of the Qing Dynasty, how much money do you have to collect a year?" I'll tell you honestly, I don't care about 100,000 taels of silver!
If it weren't for my integrity, I would have torn up Fuxing a long time ago, you go back and sue your master, at most two months, 100,000 taels of silver can't be less, otherwise Lao Tzu will tear up the ticket! ”
Wang Feng is indeed rich, although the current Suzhou is not as good as Suzhou in its heyday, and many businessmen who fled will not come back in a short time, but Su Song's more than 20 counties are not as expensive as the millions of square kilometers of land in the Qing Dynasty, and there is no corruption under his rule, there is no corruption, and every tael of silver can be used in practice!
It's just that Wang Feng urged the ransom on the grounds that he was rich and didn't care about money, which sounded a little unreasonable, but the more this was the case, the more he could highlight his arrogance, Fuxing suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and said with a sad face: "Uncle An, you go back and talk to Ama Eniang, don't be lucky, hurry up and get the money." ”
Wang Feng also said with a straight face: "Don't worry, collect money with one hand and hand over people with the other, our Chinese Democratic Alliance Army cherishes its reputation very much, now I will give you ten minutes to talk, and you will immediately go back to Beijing to get money for me in ten minutes!" ”
As he spoke, Wang Feng glanced at Fuxing meaningfully, and smiled: "Fuxing is related to the future of your Niu Hulu clan, if you don't care, I don't care!" Then he walked out
Wang Feng did not talk to them too much, and rushed back to the garden directly, after the lunch banquet, in the afternoon, he assigned specific work to the foreigners, mainly to train talents in taxation, auditing, finance, finance and law, and according to the actual situation in China, design a preliminary order, he is responsible for the checks, of course, this takes a relatively long time, Wang Feng's psychological bottom is three years.
From the second day, everyone was busy, and Angelina and Alice also started a clothing company, mainly staffed by working women in family workshops, and not only making clothes, but also shoes, making leather shoes instead of traditional Chinese forged boots!
According to Wang Feng's requirements, in the future, the army will popularize Na~~ pure military boots, which is not entirely in line with modernization, fighting against Russia, it is necessary to wear military leather boots to keep warm, it doesn't matter if the cowhide is insufficient, it can be replaced by pigskin, pigskin can also be made of leather shoes, it is nothing more than large pores, not as good as cowhide boots, but the same warmth.
Wang Feng started from now on, handed over the order of 3,000 pairs to Aina Company, which required recruiting a large number of shoemakers, importing rubber from Southeast Asia, and drawing the shape of the design, and more importantly, the need to change the shoe habits of the Chinese at that time, at that time, leather boots and riding boots and other shoes, regardless of left and right feet!
In addition to military boots, the other part is mid-heel women's lace-up sandals, Wang Feng drew a pattern based on modern women's sandals, and he wanted the female warriors to show their feet!
Wang Feng hopes to use Aina as a model to drive the rapid development of Suzhou's footwear industry, just like modern society, shoes produced in China are all over the world!
Being tossed by Wang Feng like this, Alice and Angelina go out early and return late every day, and when they come back, they feel like they are falling apart, not to mention missing their hometown, and they struggle to even talk for a while, and they often lose their voices when they talk and fall asleep on the spot, which makes Hong Xuanjiao feel distressed, but she has no other way than to blame Wang Feng for taking people as people.
A month later, Sheng Xuanhuai finally taught the first batch of students, and was immediately called by Wang Feng to Suzhou to recruit other children, as for the group of children in Baoshan and Jiading, according to the original plan, they were scattered to Susong Taichang cities to teach smaller children, and the food and lodging were arranged by the Democratic Alliance Army, and a small amount of remuneration was given, Wang Feng and Sheng Xuanhuai, and even Angelina and Alice, as well as some invited Chinese compradors and foreigners who were fluent in Chinese, took turns to run and were responsible for training the first batch of children.
In Wang Feng's school, there are no winter and summer vacations, and there are no weekends and holidays, he divides the year into four semesters, and the intense process is comparable to the senior high school review class, although this is extremely cruel and unfair to the children, but he has no choice, China's foundation is too thin, if you want to catch up, you must pay the price of a generation!
Being born in this day and age is both fortunate and unfortunate!
Correspondingly, Wang Feng also used a very small amount of free time to compile the textbooks to the second grade, if you change to any modern primary and secondary school teacher, you will definitely be accused of being very unrigorous, and the step-by-step hierarchy is also relatively poor, but at this time, you can only make up for it, and leave the formal textbooks to future educators to do it slowly.
A few days later, Suzhou Women's College was established, which is said to be a junior college, but in fact it focuses on literacy, taking into account some modern clothing and shoe making and handicrafts, childcare and women's physiological and health knowledge.
At the same time, the Suzhou Non-commissioned Officer School was established, with Wang Feng as the principal, and the students came from the army and were openly recruited from the society, and he personally taught modern military strategy and tactics and systematic military science and technology, and the first batch of students recruited 500 students.
In addition, the number of the whole army also reached 40,000, so Wang Feng established the Second Army of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army, with Lu Dayou as the commander of the Second Army, Hong Xuanjiao promoted to deputy commander, and Zhou Xiuying's Women's Special Operations Division was also expanded into an army, which was under the direct leadership of the headquarters.
In short, Yiqiē is very busy and methodical, including the walking queue training and dance teaching of 3,000 male and female soldiers who are about to get married, but the conditions for the system that Wang Feng most wants to implement are not yet ripe, that is, the system of public declaration of officials' assets, for this system, modern officials have listed many technical problems, such as how to define inheritance and gift property from spouses, and so on.
In Wang Feng's view, anything, anyone who doesn't want to do can find a bunch of excuses, technical problems are not a problem, he is waiting, first of all, waiting for the establishment of the audit system, more importantly, he needs a big victory, a complete victory to cooperate with him to launch the official property, including the public declaration system of the officer's property, otherwise it will suffer unimaginable opposition, the disclosure of property by those in power is unprecedented in China for 5,000 years, so he is waiting, waiting for the Qing army to counterattack!
Another month later, that is, on August 24, Fu'an handed over 100,000 taels of silver tickets to Wang Feng, who secretly released Fuxing on the spot, and Fuxing was finally freed after being captured for nearly four months!
And Wang Feng collected the money in the morning, so he brought eight foreign agriculture, two financial experts and a Chinese translator to Zhoujiazhuang, at the end of August is about to harvest autumn, Wang Feng needs to take Zhoujiazhuang as a pilot to implement his agricultural shareholding reform plan, these experts are mainly Meng Douban, coincidentally, Meng Douban happens to understand agriculture, his family runs a fairly large vineyard in France.
In the evening, together with the guards, a group of more than 20 people came to Zhoujiazhuang, only to see that the rice in the field had grown to about two feet, and the dark green rice ears rose and fell with the breeze.
Zhou Deliang's face was full of happy smiles, he was resentful when Zhou Fucai was taken away, and when Zhou Fucai was appointed as the magistrate of Jiading County, he cried at the ancestral tablet, and at this time, his heart was full of happiness!
The Democratic League swept through southern Jiangsu, and even gained a firm foothold and grew rapidly, all fell in his eyes, and his confidence in the Democratic Alliance Army became stronger and stronger, and even he looked at Wang Feng, this is obviously the second Zhu Yuanzhang, often in dreams, he will wake up with a smile because he dreamed that the Zhou family was waiting to worship the prime minister, so he specially wrote a letter to Zhou Fucai to do things for Wang Feng wholeheartedly, in short, Wang Feng took a fancy to Zhou Fucai, and he could only be the ancestor apparition!
Running to the entrance of the village, Wang Feng led everyone to jump off the horses, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I haven't seen you for a few months, don't come?" ”
Zhou Deliang led the villagers to give a salute: "Thank you Commander Wang for your concern, I'll wait for a while." ”
"Don't be inhibited, we're all old friends, aren't we?" Wang Feng smiled and helped Zhou Deliang up, and the villagers were not afraid of Wang Feng, and even felt more grateful and close, so they all stood up straight with a smile.
Wang Feng turned his gaze to Zhou Yanqi again, the little boy who was about the same age as Sheng Xuanhuai, and asked, "Can I teach you kung fu?" ”
"Master, please look!" Zhou Yanqi puffed up his chest and played a set of introductory boxing methods of Xinyi Liuhe Boxing!
"Good!" Wang Feng nodded: "Zhou Yanqi, it seems that you are not lazy, I came to your village today to do something, and when it is done, you can take your grandmother to Suzhou to find me." ”
Zhou Yanqi's face was immediately full of anticipation and excitement, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you want to do?" Can I help? ”
Wang Feng smiled slightly, and said to Zhou Deliang: "Village Chief Zhou, please invite everyone, I have something to discuss with you." ”
"Okay, wait a minute!" Zhou Deliang turned around with some villagers, and after a while, the villagers came one after another, and unlike last time, this time it was all voluntary.
Seeing that everyone was basically there, Wang Feng clapped his hands and said loudly: "Folks, I plan to carry out agricultural shareholding reform in Zhoujiazhuang"
Wang Feng said the possible benefits of setting up an agricultural joint-stock cooperative company, and there was a buzz below, but most of the villagers looked puzzled.
