Chapter 176: Precious Talents
"Then it's these prisoners of war!" Huo Shan was suddenly stunned when he said this, and then seemed to understand a little, and looked at Huang Sheng, who was sitting opposite him, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "Teacher, you won't come here today for these captive soldiers from the Netherlands and Portugal!"
"Not bad!" Huang Sheng said confidently. Ever since he received the news of the navy's great victory, he has been thinking about the more than 60,000 captured soldiers! He has not forgotten the role of the previous batch of Dutch prisoners in promoting the development of the entire Huojia military industry! Moreover, there are more than 10,000 navies, and he is very clear about the high quality of the navy! To put it mildly, even the most ordinary sailor in the navy can alleviate the current shortage of passenger and cargo ship crews within the Huojia army!
Hearing his words, Huo Shan was not surprised in the slightest! After all, the shortage of all kinds of talents in the Huo Jiajun was a fact, and in the case that it could not be alleviated in a short period of time, being able to replenish the prisoners of war might be the best solution for the Huo Jiajun now!
"Teacher, I know what you want! You can pick any prisoners of the army, but I will take some of the captured personnel of the navy this time!" With the continuous launching of the Huo Jiajun Navy's warships, the shortage of qualified naval personnel has become a bottleneck restricting the development and growth of the Huo Jiajun Navy! Moreover, the establishment of the three naval academies also needs a large number of qualified teachers! Perhaps after several decades of decline, these Dutch and Portuguese naval personnel have some problems in commanding warships! However, they have some problems in mathematics, pipe wheels, and Drawing and other nautical technical aspects are definitely a qualified teacher!
However, hearing his words, Huang Sheng was a little anxious! These captured naval personnel of the two countries, he had been reciting the sermon for a long time!
"No, Xiaoshan! You must leave these people behind me this time! Now our five-year education plan is now in difficulty! Our secondary education is seriously lacking in teachers who understand physics, chemistry, and mathematics! Moreover, as long as we have these navy and those captured personnel in the army, we will be able to use them to build a university! In this way, we will be able to have thousands of college students every year! And our secondary education will also be greatly improved! Therefore, you must listen to me this time! ”
After listening to the teacher's words, Huo Shan couldn't help but have a little headache, in the whole of Taiwan, and even in the entire Huo Jiajun, what really made him estimate that there were only three and a half people who had no way, Mother, Xiao Ping'er, Huang Sheng, and half of Fu Bo! Not only because he was his own teacher, but also because of his unconditional support for his career! If it weren't for the teacher managing the operation of the entire government affairs for him, and coordinating the economy of the nine provinces and one city within the Huo Jiajun, as well as a large number of base areas, With the development of science, education, and culture, I am afraid that he will not be as idle and relieved as he is now!
"Teacher, you see this! I'll ask for fifty people from the navy! You can arrange the rest, what do you think?"
Hearing his words, Huang Sheng couldn't help but hesitate a little, but after seeing Huo Long and Huo Feng's pleading faces, he couldn't help but sigh secretly! After all, this victory was fought by the navy, and if no one was really given, then the relationship between the military and zhèngfǔ would really deteriorate in the future! Moreover, fifty people was not too much compared to more than tens of thousands of naval prisoners! Thinking of this, Huang Sheng finally nodded and agreed!
"Okay! I promised! But you can't take all the high-level people out there, and I'm counting on them to build a university in Borneo!"
"Okay, teacher, don't worry! I'm measured!" Huo Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After listening to his words, Huang Sheng nodded with satisfaction!
"Xiaoshan, there has been a lot of discussion about the founding of the country recently, both in the military and within the country, and today I am here to ask you a question in person, in addition to the capture of more than 60,000 people! What do you think about the choice of the national system and the whole of the country?" asked Huang Shengshen solemnly and slowly.
At this time, Huo Long and Huo Feng's expressions also became calm, looking at the young master who had fallen into silence, a trace of intense concern flashed in his eyes!
"Teacher, do you think there is a basis for the implementation of a republic system within us?" Huo Shan raised his head, looked at his teacher calmly, and asked in a flat tone.
Hearing his words, Huang Sheng remembered that the people, who were basically still illiterate, would have basically been impossible to make them understand what a republic was within 20 years! Only when the people grew up under Huo Jiajun's new-style education and the people got rid of ignorance, could there be a real foundation for the realization of the republic!
"It's impossible to have a republic, but we can implement a British-style constitutional monarchy!" Huang Sheng hurriedly said in a somewhat anxious tone!
He shook his head slowly, the current national bourgeoisie within the Huo Jiajun has just begun to grow, and their current strength is too weak! Moreover, they do not understand the current international situation, nor do they understand how to participate in and discuss politics! In addition, in China, a country where emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business has been practiced for more than 1,000 years, the status of businessmen has just begun to rise a little! If they suddenly take power, it is easy to get lost in the whirlpool of power, and this is a blessing and a curse for a country!
"Teacher! Our economic development is still too backward, and the bourgeoisie has not grown up at all! It is still too early for us to want the parliament to control the country!"
Hearing his words, Huang Sheng's face turned white, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart!
"Hehe, teacher, you think too much! I won't practice the monarch's **! Don't worry!" Looking at Huang Sheng's somewhat panicked eyes and his expression, Huo Shan guessed what he was thinking, and hurriedly waved his hand, and said in denial! Although the feeling of being in power can indeed give people a great sense of satisfaction! But from later generations, Huo Shan, who knows the law of historical development, knows very well in his heart that the feudal monarch has no hope in this era! Moreover, he can't stand those cumbersome government affairs when he is lazy! Moreover, he still wants to live a few more years, but he doesn't want to be like those emperors in history, who are already terminally ill when they reach middle age!
"Then you are preparing?" Huang Sheng asked somewhat confused! Neither mínzhǔ politics nor constitutional monarchy, is there a third way of structuring political power in the world?
"Teacher, Huo Long, Huo Feng, do you think that our Huo Jiajun has really reached the time for the founding of the country now?" Huo Shan stood up, walked to the window with a thoughtful expression, and after looking at the beautiful scenery outside for a while, he suddenly turned back to the three of them, and asked in a solemn tone.
"Young Master, ...... are you?" Hearing the young master's words, Huo Long couldn't help but ask in some surprise!
Shaking his head slowly, Huo Shan did not answer his words, but said to himself: "Although, our Huo Family Army has been developing for more than two years, and now it has also occupied a large number of islands in the South Seas and the Pacific Ocean, with a land area of nearly 3 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 50 million! With everyone's efforts, the economy, culture, science and education, industry, and other aspects also have a certain foundation! However, no matter how much we make here, we can't change our identity as foreigners!" In the minds of all Han people, the Qing court, which now occupies the Central Plains, is orthodox, and we are the real foreign land! In addition, if we really establish a state in Nanyang, then when we go north to overthrow the Qing court in the future, the military action of the Huo Jiajun will become an enemy invasion, not a dispute within the country! Do you understand?"
Huo Shan's words made the originally fiery hope for the founding of the country in the hearts of the three of them suddenly become cold! They understood that from the first day of the founding of the Huo Jiajun, overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing a state power dominated by the Han nationality had always been the ideal and goal of the young master's heart! And this goal was also an inexhaustible driving force for them to work hard, unite around the young master, and push the collective Huo Jiajun to keep moving forward! Of course, anything that hinders the ultimate realization of this ideal must be removed without mercy!
