"This Qin Yu is simply too presumptuous, he is completely empty-eyed, and he doesn't take you in his eyes."

After the banquet, in the governor's mansion, Zhang Biao was angry, remembering that Qin Yu embarrassed him in public, and repeatedly shirked Zhang Xiluan's request, Zhang Biao became angry. After such an incident today, even the blind can see that Qin Yu is just doing a good job with his second uncle, the new overseer.

"Young and frivolous, Qin Yu has military power in his hands, and he has a deep foundation in Fengtian, who in Fengtian City doesn't look at his face, what are you angry with him?" Zhang Xiluan glanced at Zhang Biao, and sighed secretly in his heart, there are many descendants of the Zhang family, but there are not many of them, if it weren't for his presence, I am afraid that this nephew in front of him would not be put in the corner of Qin Yu's eyes.

"The little nephew just can't look down on his style, second uncle, you are still the overseer appointed by the central government, let him do something and even push back and block, besides, the appropriation fee will cost 100,000 yuan, the provincial treasury is poor, where can such a large sum of money be obtained." Zhang Biao felt that Qin Yu had simply given them an unsolvable problem.

"Fengtian Province is so big, there is always a squeeze of 100,000 yuan."

Zhang Xiluan has been an official for many years, but he used to stay in Fengtian, there has always been a governor on it, and the net worth he has saved over the years is not very solid, for the position of the Fengtian overseer, he has spent more than 20,000 yuan in Beijing, Zhang Xiluan is heartbroken enough, and then let him pay money from his private pocket to advance military expenses, it is impossible.

Not to mention Qin Yu's army, even his own soldiers, there is no reason for that. However, after all, he stayed in the spring for a few years, and Zhang Xiluan also knew a lot about the cats below, and he was still able to make up the money if he squeezed it in some aspects. At present, the foothold in Fengtian City is not stable. Thanks to the support of the central government, if he doesn't do something to show the central side, I'm afraid that he, the overseer, will not be able to do it for long.

"Qin Yu built so many schools in Fengtian City, bought books, and gave a salary increase to be a teacher, I don't believe that he has no money in his hands. I think he made it clear that he was going to embarrass the second uncle. "Zhang Biao originally looked at the power and wealth in Qin Yu's hands. At present, it is very nerve-wracking to raise 100,000 yuan here, and even if it is raised, it will be sent to the other party, which is really infuriating to think about.

"Don't say what you're saying when you get out of this room." Zhang Xiluan glared at his nephew, nowadays the president also attaches great importance to scholars, since Yuan Shikai took the throne, the army and navy often quarrel over military spending, but education funds can always be guaranteed first. There are even rumors that Yuan Shikai plans to sell the two new naval gunboats he purchased from Germany in the former Qing Dynasty and use the funds raised to train talents.

Qin Yu's reputation for attaching importance to education has spread. At this time, if Zhang Biao stands on the opposite side, he will only attract infamy. Qin Yu had previously stated at the banquet that he, a local, attached great importance to the education of Fengtian Province, and it was not without insinuation that he, a foreigner, might not care much about the people of Fengtian. Zhang Xiluan passed by this kind of thing, but if it was really done, and then exaggerated by someone with a heart, his prestige as an overseer would really be lost.

"I think he is not the only one in Fengtian Province who has an army, Ma Longtan in Liaodong. Feng Linge in Liaoxi also has a gun in his hand. Why should you rely on him Qin Yu. Even if Qin Yu is powerful, he can also support Ma Longtan and Feng Linge, otherwise it will be really difficult for the second uncle to move an inch in the future. Zhang Biao was trained to be silent, and he sprinkled all his resentment on Qin Yu.

"Ma Longtan is afraid that it will not work, and even the militia in Liaodong will not be able to win, and it will be useless. Feng Linge is also the general of the defeated army under Qin Yu, if it weren't for the president's intention to protect Feng Linge, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to return to Beizhen. Zhang Xiluan sighed, some people like Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian Province were recruited by him, if these people were still there. Zhang Xiluan asked himself that with his influence, he could still gather a group of people, but now Fengtian Province has become the dominant situation of Qin Yu's family, and it is not so easy to change.

"But you're right, there are no soldiers in your hands, and you really don't have the confidence to fight against Qin Yu, in the future, we have to cultivate a descendant army of our own, I don't have many trustworthy people in my hands, and you have to provoke the big beam in the future."

"Second uncle, rest assured, the little nephew will not disappoint the second uncle." Zhang Biao said overjoyed.

In an inconspicuous courtyard in Fengtian City, the four middle-aged people seem honest and well-behaved. The 23 teenagers probed their brains and talked about it.

"I wonder what happened to the big boss of Lu Dao calling us this time?" A tall boy wears a tattered padded jacket.

"Who knows, it's not going to be for us, is it? There should still be wages, I heard my third uncle who ran to Kanto say that the boss of Fengtian has a good heart and gives money fairly. "Another teenager had a vegetable complexion and unhealthy yellow skin, apparently due to chronic malnutrition.

"That is, my mother's uncle also went to Kanto when his hometown was in a famine the year before last, and he used to help the official family farm the land, and I heard that now he has also placed a house and land in Baicheng, and he also took my aunt's family over." Another voice followed.

"The big boss is coming, the big boss is coming!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone present quieted down, for fear of violating the taboo of the new owner. Some of the owners in my impression are stingy.

Zhang Shun walked in from the door wearing a cyan horse jacket and a cigarette.

"Is everyone here?"

"It's all here, boss, these four adults were dug by me from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, they are all skilled boatmen, and some other children, most of the families used to have a background in sailing, and they have more or less come into contact with them." A middle-aged man next to him explained to Zhang Shun.

"Hmm." Zhang Shun nodded, then looked at the young man in front of him, and several adults said, "Hello, I am your owner, and you can come here because you want to get a good job, and your family conditions are not very good." Now I will give you a future, I bought a shipyard in England, and the shipyard will also be opened to Mukden City in the future, but it takes a lot of technicians to open a shipyard. Mechanic. Therefore, pick people to go to the UK for further study, to learn the skills of foreigners shipbuilding, of course, the salary must be much higher than in China, you want to go, I am not reluctant to go. ”

"How far is England, host?" A teenager in the crowd asked with courage.

"Far, far away. Most of you are from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which is dozens of times farther than the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to Fengtian City. Zhang Shundao, when he went abroad for the first time, Zhang Shun was also frightened by the long distance and vomited on the boat. But being young is the capital, and it doesn't take much time to get used to it.

"The owner, how much can we pay a month's salary in the country where we go to foreigners?" Another teenager asked, this is what everyone is concerned about.

"Apprenticeship 3 oceans a month. I learned to be a teacher at least once. Including food and housing, the money will be paid on a monthly basis, and if you become an engineer in the future, when you are transferred back, it will be okay to earn dozens of dollars a month. Zhang Shun looked at these people with a shocked expression, "You are still young now, stay in Ciyang, learn more if you can." It will be of great use in the future, who wouldn't want to go? ”

"The owner. I'm going, I'm going. The young man who looked very honest hurriedly said excitedly, staying in the country, in the past, the head of a patrol army was only a little more than a piece of ocean for a month. went to be an apprentice for 3 oceans a month, and also had food and shelter, where could these poor teenagers refuse. Even the four middle-aged men showed an excited look on their faces.

"Hmm. Pack up, pack some clothes, and I'll take you with me to England. Again, learn more if you can, as long as you have the ability. There will be a chance to soar in the future. "Qin Yu's business in Europe has begun to increase, and Fengtian also needs to send someone to the headquarters of Siemens, and Zhang Shun is naturally the best choice.

"Gotta shine!"

"My lord, what do you command?" The middle-aged man next to him hurriedly responded.

"Change clothes for these babies and those adults, don't be too good, just the ordinary kind, it looks clean and crisp, they go abroad, and they can't be too embarrassed for us." Zhang Shun said.

"Deputy General Manager Feng, these people will be taken off to you in the future." After explaining to these teenagers for a while, Zhang Shun turned to Feng Zhixue, whose face was dark and looked silent. "The art of foreign devils is not so easy to learn, a pair of tricks can usually look to the sky, you have to pay more attention to yourself."

"Don't worry, the little ones will take care of these offspring." Feng Zhixue nodded, his grandfather used to be a man of the year in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but later the situation was changeable, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau fell from the peak when it was founded to the current situation, which really made people sad. If he wasn't disheartened, Feng Zhixue wouldn't want to go to England, thousands of miles away.

"Second Young Master! I'll be on my way to England in a few days. After arranging the personnel to go to the UK, Zhang rushed to say goodbye to Qin Yu by the way.

"Pay attention to yourself, when the matter in Europe is settled, you will also ask for one or two wives and concubines, starting a family is the top priority, which girl you like, I will let my mother propose marriage with you." Qin Yu smiled.

"Thank you, Second Young Master, if there is someone, tell the Second Young Master accurately." After listening to Qin Yu's words, Zhang Shun's heart was hot. "By the way, that Zhang Xiluan is still safe today, right?"

"Zhang Dashuai? People are not old-hearted, and they still want to exert some residual heat in Fengtian Province, but he is old, and now he is weak, so he doesn't have to do anything. "For Zhang Xiluan, the current serious deficit of the provincial treasury alone is enough to make people anxious, and Qin Yu instructs some people to ask Zhang Xiluan for money every day, and he will be annoyed to death.

"I'm old, and I still want to toss, I've heard some words, in fact, this Zhang Xiluan may not be so troublesome, his downfall is quite capable of making trouble, second young master, you have to guard against it, lest he jump off the wall in a hurry." Zhang Shun reminded.

"Well, I'm measured." (To be continued......)
