"These books are much more useful than Shakespeare's Complete Works or the Declaration of Independence."

Qiao Guoqiang patted those books, looked at Li Chongguang and said, "After eating them thoroughly, you will at least become a person who can think." ”

"These books, as long as you read them, at the very least, you can become a successful businessman and raise more money for the revolution." "In the future, after the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the new country will need professional personnel to guide, plan and lead the country's economic operation. Those who relied on the old-fashioned Jin merchants and Hui merchants in China could not do it, and those comprador classes who had become agents of the great powers could not do it. ”

Qiao Guoqiang looked at Li Chongguang and smiled:

"In the same way, those who shout new ideas, new thinking, but don't even understand what IAS is!"

"Ask you a question!"

Li Chongguang bowed and said, "Sir, please speak!" ”

"In the first year of the First Sino-Japanese War, if the Qing court did not sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, would the Qing Dynasty still have the ability to fight? Can you win? ”

"This..." If it had been yesterday, Li Chongguang would have shouted, "We have 40,000 compatriots, as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to win." ”

However, just after experiencing what Qiao Guoqiang said, he doubted it.

"The direct reason for the failure of the First Sino-Japanese War was the backwardness of the naval division and the timidity of the army, and more because there was no industry and no finance." Qiao Guoqiang said a little numbly: "Japan has learned how to use international banks to issue state bonds to raise war expenses, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still engaged in the system of living within its means. ”

"Speaking of which, the First Sino-Japanese War was a maritime country against a continental country, or a capitalist country against a feudal country." Qiao Guoqiang looked at Li Chongguang, pulled out a gun from his waist and threw it over, "Actually, it is an industrial country that fights an agricultural country. ”

"When the Japanese junior officers already knew how to measure time in hours, minutes, and seconds, while the Manchu officers were still using twelve hours and a few sticks of incense to calculate time, the outcome of the war had already been decided."

"If it is expressed in numbers, the overall national strength of the Manchu Qing is 100, then Japan is estimated to be only 35, but Japan can use 28 of its national strength to fight wars, while the Manchus can only take out 20."

"Where did it all come from?" Qiao Guoqiang asked, "Did the Japanese start eating beef?" Or did the Japanese start wearing suits? ”

Looking at Li Chongguang, who was thinking, Qiao Guoqiang replied by himself, "Neither!" ”

"It's because of the Meiji Restoration in the past 30 years, and because they are building their own industries. It is because they have built a truly modern army, and all the officers are trained from military academies, and they know what is contour, what is temperature, what is dense position, and what is firepower density; And the Qing Dynasty still relied on lifting stones, archery, and writing some clichéd military books from hundreds of years ago to select officers. ”

"Don't talk about sacrifice lightly!" Qiao Guoqiang persuaded: "Our nation has been sinking for too long, and except for the more than 30 young children who studied in the United States, not many of them have gone to Western universities. ”

"We need intellectuals, we need people who understand the operation of a modern state, and it is a crime against the nation for such people to play with their lives and sacrifice!"

After saying this, Qiao Guoqiang stood and walked to the window with Li Chongguang and looked at the street outside.

"A lot of the fundraisers you do come from businessmen and ordinary people."

"When the cannon goes off, it is ten thousand taels of gold." Qiao Guoqiang pointed to the road outside and told Li Chongguang, "The wealth created by the shops and workshops on this street in a month is comparable to the agricultural output of a state capital in a year." ”

"If those in power don't understand economics, they will be suppressed by foreign countries using business and international rules. If a country has no industry, but it has land, mines, and money, it is easier for people to invade and enslave it. ”

Li Chongguang stood up and bowed: "Please also teach me!" ”

"Good!" Qiao Guoqiang took a sip of the teacup, "Today, sir, I'll teach you a vocabulary first..."

'The Great Division of Labor in Society'

It took a day to talk to Li Chongguang about the social division of labor, the attributes of money, and the impact of industry on the formation of cities.

is worthy of being admitted to Yale at the age of 17, with the pitiful economic knowledge of this era, Li Chongguang actually understood what Qiao Guoqiang said.

It deserves to be a top student!

In this era when the vast majority of people in the Celestial Empire are ignorant and confused, being able to be admitted to Yale is like winning the Nobel Prize in later generations. Such a young man, if he dies as a stand-in for Sun Dacang, is a little too light than a feather. It was really a crime to let him die like that.

What Qiao Guoqiang wants to do is to turn Li Chongguang into a national-level think tank or national entrepreneur.

Instead of being a traditional second-tier dealer like his father or a comprador class like the Song and Kong families twenty years later.

After dark, he left Li's house, found a restaurant, had a meal, and went to the Gaosheng Theater.

"They'll be here tonight." Qiao Guoqiang found the Fang squad leader and told the information he knew, "The police were bribed by them, and they will treat it as if they don't know what happened here tonight." ”

Class Master Fang smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "That's just the right time for us to do things!" ”

Looking at the somewhat confident Fang class master, Qiao Guoqiang said another piece of information: "A batch of sulfuric acid has entered the Kowloon Walled City today, which is what you call the water. ”

"Sluggish water?!" Fang Ban Master frowned, "What are they going to do?" ”

"If I'm right, they're going to use it to slap you in the face so you can't see it and then kill you." Qiao Guoqiang said contemptuously. This is the most common in later generations, the special forces rushed into the room to save people, which one didn't shoot a few tear gas canisters first?

"On the other hand, it is also to use such murderous means to deter other comrades."

"Droopy is fluid." Fang Ban Master pondered, "With the current means, they are nothing more than splashing or spraying. We just need to block it with an umbrella. One hand with an umbrella, the other with a gun, just right. ”

"Then get ready!" Qiao Guoqiang reminded: "They will come in a while. ”

"Hmm!" Fang Ban Master called one of his subordinates and gave an explanation. Next, all the martial artists and Hua Dan had an umbrella at hand.

"Whoa!" The door opened suddenly. Chen Shaobai rushed in, looked at Class Master Fang, and hurriedly said, "General Fang, Brother Qiao's information is true, Yan Xiaoguo and they are in the Kowloon Walled City. We need to prepare early. ”

"It's too late!" Fang Ban Master's ears moved, and he suddenly pulled out the left wheel and pointed to the roof, while driving Chen Shaobai to the backstage.

"They're coming!" Qiao Guoqiang came out of the backstage, already wearing a protective suit, his face was thick rubber, and his eyes were goggles made of resin. In his left hand is a riot shield with an acrylic plate, and in his right hand is a revolver.

"Click~~!" The roof suddenly broke, and more than a dozen men in black fell from the sky along with the falling tiles.

"Fuck you!!" The revolver in Qiao Guoqiang's hand was about to hold the six shots of several killers who were about to take the sulfuric acid splash, "bang bang", "bang bang", and "bang bang", and they were finished in less than a second.

The three killers who gathered together were shot, and the bottles in their hands fell to the ground.

Wherever the liquid in the bottle flows, the wooden floor emits a burst of corrosive black smoke.

"Watch out for the water!" Qiao Guoqiang shouted.

"Whew!" Several killers poured sulfuric acid on everyone, but they were blocked by umbrellas...

And then...

"Bang!" "Bang bang!" "Bang!" Those martial artists shot with a short gun.

The two killers threw sulfuric acid at Qiao Guoqiang, but they were blocked by the shield.

And then...

Qiao Guoqiang threw the shield, grabbed a Remington M870 from behind his waist and shot it at the two killers who stepped on the table two meters away, and the 4mm steel ball sent the two flying. Then with a "bang", he pulled the pump and turned to the four people wielding knives and chain darts, "Bang!" "Kala" "Bang! "Two shots.

144 buckshot bullets with a diameter of 4.8 mm beat the four killers into a sieve.

The dozen or so killers were all holding cold weapons, and most of them died in an instant when they were shot by the guns.

The rest of them couldn't get close at all, and immediately threw the javelin in their hands forward.

"Ahh The four subordinates of the Fang class master immediately fell down holding their stomachs.

However, even so, the guns in their hands still "bang" and "bang" at those killers with one or two bullets.

"Bang!!" "Bang!" Qiao Guoqiang fired two shotguns, and two more people were killed.

Seeing that the two killers were still playing with the Fang class master with knives, Qiao Guoqiang took out a M1911 and pointed it at their backs, "Poof!" "Poof!" Two shots.

The 45-caliber dummmy bullet made the two killers with oxtail knives suddenly pause.

"Poof!" "Poof!" Fang Ban Master, who was opposite them, immediately slashed their necks with two knives.

"Bang bang!!" "Bang! Bang! Bang! More than a dozen gunshots rang out, and most of the sixteen killers who attacked fell to the ground.

However, upstairs, there was also the leader of the killer with an iron hook in his hand, confronting the Fang class master.

"Leave it to us here, you go and protect Chen Shaobai!" Fang said to Qiao Guoqiang.

"Good!"

Qiao Guoqiang jumped out of the window and chased towards Chen Shaobai's position.

Chen Shaobai fled left and right in the alley, and every time he reached an intersection, he found that there was a killer waiting there.

And those killers didn't seem to want to kill him, so they forced him elsewhere.

Of course he knew what was going on.

The leader of the killer, Yan Xiaoguo, is his most outstanding student. It's a pity that in the end, he defected to the Qing court and became a lackey of the Qing court. Even so, the other party also remembered a teacher-student friendship and was reluctant to kill him.

However, he didn't want to be captured alive, so he had to flee!

"Whew!" Qiao Guoqiang jumped off the wall and landed beside Chen Shaobai like a raccoon cat.

"Brother Joe!?" Chen Shaobai saw that it was Qiao Guoqiang, and hurriedly asked, "General Fang, how are they?" ”

"It's okay, the killer has been wiped out!" Qiao Guoqiang looked at Chen Shaobai, who was panting and trembling, and said a little teasingly, "Look at your embarrassed escape, go back and practice your gun." ”

As he spoke, Chen Shaobai looked at Qiao Guoqiang, who had a killer behind him with a knife and slashed...

He was about to remind that as a result....

Qiao Guoqiang, his body squatted, and while turning around, as if by magic, he took out a shotgun.

"Bang!" The knife man was shot and flew away.

"Click!" The bullet was loaded, and Qiao Guoqiang pulled Chen Shaobai forward, "Revolution is to shed blood and sacrifice, I will give you the courage of a revolutionary today!" The two walked to an intersection more than ten meters away, looking at the killers rushing over on the left and right, Qiao Guoqiang "Bang!" "Bang!" Two more shots!
