Sure enough, Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun's faces changed greatly after hearing this. Fastest update 78 //

Pu Dianjun hurriedly said: "My lord, Shu is surrounded by mountains, and there is a proverb since ancient times that 'Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky'. Especially in the east, the ice and snow of the Yangtze River waterway melt in summer, the river water swells, overflowing, and the boat is in danger of capsizing and drifting; In winter, the ice and snow cover the mountains, the river is exhausted, the reef is exposed, and the boat is at risk of hitting the reef and destroying the ship. On the other hand, the overland route needs to climb over the Daba Mountain, and the road is rugged and steep, making it difficult to transport heavy loads. The construction of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway is the trend of the times.

"After the railway is built, it can not only make the future out of Sichuan no longer restricted, but also strengthen the exchanges between Sichuan and Hubei and even Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, which is a good thing that is of great benefit to the people of Bashu. When propagating the revolutionary spirit, Mr. Sun Yat-sen often said that in the future, state officials, from the president to the staff, should be loyal to the country and serve the public. When adults first came to Sichuan, everyone was looking forward to removing the old and making the new for the well-being of the people. At this time, we might as well take the construction of the Sichuan-Han Railway as the first important thing after the administration, so that the gentry and people in Sichuan can feel the heart of the adults to benefit the people and love the people! ”

Yang Du smiled slightly: "Speaker Pu, my family has already said that since the Sichuan-Han Railway has been changed to be run by business, the government will not interfere in the future." If my family takes the construction of the Sichuan-Han Railway as the first thing after the administration, then is this railway a commercial operation? Official? Or is it a joint venture between the gentry and the gentry? ”

"......" is a fundamental question about the Sichuan-Han Railway Company, and Pu Dianjun naturally can't answer it.

Yang Du said again: "As Speaker Pu said just now, since this matter is very beneficial to the gentry and people in Sichuan, I think they will definitely actively participate in the shares, so why force the apportionment in the name of the government?" ”

Pu Dianjun smiled bitterly: "I think Mr. Huizi should have read the "Biography of Shang Jun" in the "Historical Records", right?" The so-called 'fool is in success, and in knowledge is in the bud.' The people should not start with worries, but they can be happy. On the fact that those who are virtuous are not in harmony with the vulgar, and those who have achieved great achievements do not seek the public', these famous words of Shang Ying's persuasion of Qin Xiaogong aptly explain the fundamental reason why the people in central Sichuan are unwilling to take the initiative to participate in shares. ”

Pu Dianjun is basically right, although the gentry in central Sichuan actively promoted the construction of the Bashu Railway for personal gain, but objectively it really benefited the people of Bashu. It's just that this benefit is long-term and invisible. Perhaps for ordinary people who rarely get out of the county once in their lives, at most there are more foreign varieties such as foreign fire and kerosene, and the price is lower. In contrast, the additional tax levied each year on top of the land endowment is very straightforward and obvious. Therefore, for the people with a strong sense of small farmers, they are not willing to participate in the Sichuan-Han Railway at all. In their minds. The Sichuan-Han Railway has nothing to do with farming.

Yang Du said: "The sage said, 'The people can, let it be; No, let it be known'. Since the people of central Sichuan are reluctant to take the initiative to participate in the shares, the advisory bureaus at all levels in various localities should actively persuade them to know the great significance of building the Sichuan-Hankou Railway, instead of directly forcibly increasing the number of people. It is now a new society that is democratic and enlightened. The atmosphere is changing day by day, the wisdom of the people is gradually opening, I believe that as long as the gentry move with affection and understand reason, the people in Sichuan will still take the initiative to participate in the shares! ”

Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun's faces suddenly darkened.

Sun Yuanqi asked Yin Changheng and Zhang Peijue again: "Shuoquan and Lie Wu, the two of you are visiting today, I don't know what advice you have?" ”

Yin Changheng replied first: "Returning to the Governor, my Sichuan Provincial Army Primary School was established in Chengdu North School in accordance with the "Statutes of the Army Primary School" promulgated by the 31st year of Guangxu (1905) of the Qing Dynasty (1905). Every year, 100 young people aged 15~18 are enrolled. The duration of education is three years, and after graduation, students will enter Nanjing or Xi'an Army High School. The Qing court originally wanted to use this to train officers and soldiers at all levels who were loyal to the monarch and martial arts, but it ended up becoming the source of the revolution. The rise of the road protection movement. Our army primary school cadets and powerful!

"Now that the fall of the Qing court is just around the corner, there are still the fourth and fifth batches of cadets in the army primary school who have not yet graduated. Will the ammunition, food, and personnel expenses for the school still be paid by the Governor's Palace? If it is suspended, how will non-graduates be dismissed? I don't dare to focus on myself, so I came to ask you how to deal with it. ”

Yin Changheng is a rare tall man among the Sichuan people, and he looks full of gentleness. But in real history, he was a fierce man who dared to behead Zhao Erfeng, the last governor of Sichuan. Although Zhao Erfeng made some mistakes in dealing with the Baolu Movement, he made great achievements in handling the border affairs of Yunnan and Tibet provinces, and Yin Changheng beheaded Zhao Erfeng in Mingyuan Tower half for his own prestige and half for the sake of appeasing the anger of the people in Chengdu. But it's a bit excessive! - Of course, Sun Yuanqi didn't learn history well, and he didn't know that the tall man with a round face in front of him was the same as Zhang Wenxiang, a fierce man who dared to kill the governor, otherwise he would definitely be furious and avoid it!

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Peijue also said: "My Chongqing Fu Middle School (now Chongqing No. 7 Middle School) has been actively recruiting revolutionaries a few years ago. Planning revolutionary activities is the place where the revolutionary embryo is born, and all the teachers and students of the school are committed to the republic. After the success of the Wuchang uprising, everyone cheered. However, it is said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still entrenched in the Central Plains and North China, and they are stubbornly resisting, and they want to abandon their pen and follow Rong, and use 'iron' and 'blood' to wash the bloody flesh of China. Therefore, Zhang was appointed to come to petition the Governor, hoping to allow the students to join the army and do their part to 'drive out the Tartars and restore China'! ”

Sun Yuanqi, Yang Du, Zhang Shizhao and others looked at each other and smiled: This is really a coincidence, someone sent a pillow just when I wanted to fall asleep!

Sun Yuanqi said: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and countless young soldiers are still needed to continue to work hard, so the army primary school must continue to be established." Students from Chongqing Fu Middle School want to join the army, and we welcome them with 120,000 points. ”

Yang Du immediately said: "Not long ago, my lord and I discussed the establishment of another mixed association in Sichuan, and now General Manager Yin and Zhang Xuejian are talking about the two schools of the Army Primary School and the Chongqing Fu Middle School. It's really the same thing that heroes see! In that case, my lord, why don't we focus on the students of the two schools and start working on this mixed association now? ”

Sun Yuanqi turned his head and asked the two: "Shuoquan, Lie Five, what do you two think?" ”

Both of them rejoiced: "Let your lord command!" ”

Yang Du said again: "My lord, the virtuous brother of Shuoquan once studied in Japan to study military affairs, and served as the general office of the army primary school, so he has the ability and qualifications. Lie Wuxian graduated from Chengdu Higher School Science Excellence Normal Department, once founded Chengdu Lie Wu Middle School, and is currently the superintendent of Chongqing Fu Middle School, and has also been teaching for many years. Now that we have just arrived in Sichuan, we are lacking such skilled military and political personnel. Looking at it from below, it is better to ask Shuoquan to serve as the standard commander and the fifth virtuous brother to serve as the director of education, right? ”

Although Sun Yuanqi didn't know what Yang Du's intentions were, he still nodded slightly: "That's naturally excellent!" It's just that I don't know if the two are willing to give in? ”

Where would the two refuse? At that moment, they all got up and bowed deeply to Sun Yuanqi: "Thank you, Lord for your love, your subordinates must be honest and fulfill their duties, and they will die after bowing and dying!" ”

Seeing that the affairs of the four people had been discussed, Sun Yuanqi picked up the tea bowl on the table. Before his lips touched the tea in the cup, the guard standing next to him immediately shouted: "Send off!" ”

As soon as he sent them out of the door, Zhang Shizhao hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Mr. Huizi, the reason why Yin Changheng and Zhang Peijue mentioned the matter of the two schools is that they want to plant forces in our army and wait for an opportunity. Why do you still have students from the two schools as the editor-in-chief to form a mixed association, and you also transferred Yin Changheng to the army as a standard commander? Although we all know that this association is preparing to enter Tibet next summer, what if they don't listen to the order when the time comes? ”

Yang Du fanned his fan, and asked in a leisurely manner: "Xingyan, do you know how many people are in a mixed association?" ”

"The normal number is 4,200, and the minimum is only 2,500."

"Then do you know how many people are in the Army Primary School and Chongqing Fu Middle School?"

"As Yin Changheng said just now, there are two phases of students in the Army Primary School, with 100 students in each session, that is, 200 students. I don't know how many there are in Chongqing Fu Middle School, but I don't think there are more than 300 people. Zhang Shizhao immediately understood, "You mean, they are only a very small minority in the mixed association, and they can't make much waves at all?" However, the students of the army primary school have all undergone professional study, and after entering the army, they must at least be shed commanders and platoon commanders, and their influence should not be underestimated! ”

Yang Du didn't care: "If they graduate, they can naturally serve as shed leaders and platoon leaders." Aren't they still graduating? Besides, if you are not a shed commander or platoon commander, when you get to the army, we don't have the final say? ”

"But Yin Changheng is a standard, and he can be promoted by himself!"

Yang Du glanced at Zhang Shizhao: "Did I say that I want Yin Changheng to go to the new mixed association to be the standard?" Of course, after coming, you might as well let him be the standard commander of the New Mixed Association for a few days, and then promote him to Jiang Zhiqing's 46th Association to be the deputy assistant commander, which is a bit more justified. ”

"Overhead? Rising and falling? Good idea! Zhang Shizhao nodded again and again, "What about the students sent by Chongqing Mansion Middle School?" I guess it's not a fuel-efficient lamp! It would be difficult if they formed an alliance in the army. And that Zhang Peijue, once he becomes the director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education, will he spread the Three People's Principles everywhere? ”

Yang Du laughed: "Baixi himself is a nationally renowned educator, there is no local faction like Yin Changheng and Zhang Peijue to make obstacles in the school, and you are worried about not educating these young students?" ”

Only then did Sun Yuanqi understand the fundamental reason why Yang Du promoted Yin and Zhang, and immediately patted his chest and said: "I want to see if the school dyed me black, or I dyed the school red!" ”

Sun Yuanqi said this sentence with great confidence: in his original time and space, brainwashing education and exam-oriented education have long demonstrated the power of actual combat, and they can easily destroy the vast majority of people's interest in various isms.

Zhang Shizhao still had a worried face: "Did we offend Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun too hard just now?" After all, they represent the Sichuan gentry! ”

Yang Du closed the paper fan with his hand and said with a murderous face: "If you want to send troops into Tibet next summer, you must clean up Sichuan before that." So we just want to make them anxious and make them troublesome. Wang Ba sticks his head out, so we can go under the knife! ”。。 )
