The red building is so arrogant

【5200+】

Since the beginning of June, the tea stalls in the capital have ushered in the peak season, and the Li family's big bowl of tea at the corner of Sifang Street is no exception.

No, it was just past Sizheng [[-] o'clock in the morning], and the six Eight Immortals tables were full.

Most of these tea drinkers are doing odd jobs in Sifang Street. They usually earn some hard money by helping foreigners from all over the world move and lift. The work is not too much, but the customers are easy to fool and they are generous enough.

But among this group of rough men with open arms and high-spirited speeches, there was an old scholar in robes and a square scarf on his head. He was pressing his gray goatee with one hand, and was sipping tea when he suddenly heard a sound coming from a distance. The chant of 'one two one'.

The old Confucian subconsciously looked around, and saw a group of young people in overalls running towards us in a neat line. From a distance, there were at least two to three hundred people.

With the establishment of the engineering school, the uniforms of the students who started from the elementary school have gradually become popular outside-mainly worn by young craftsmen who have not been selected-but it is obvious that the neat lineup like this is Genuine work-study students.

The old Confucian was very displeased when he saw it, and when the work-study students ran up to him, the dust was flying around him, he hurriedly rolled up his long sleeves to protect his teacup, then shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how to learn. If you don’t work, you don’t have soldiers, what’s the point?!”

Seeing him acting like this, the man at the same table who was chewing willow branches and picking his teeth tilted his head and spat, and said: "The old man is short-sighted, this is called military management..."

Someone on the table behind immediately reminded: "Military management."

"You don't have to worry about this."

Shen Jun cupped his hands and said admiration to Chen Wansan for a long time, then straightened his body and said solemnly: "Dong Siwu..."

"Okay, okay."

The man slapped his thigh again, and suddenly said: "Look at that school, I still think it's someone, isn't this guy who teaches foreign devils how to read and write, he's just an old traitor!"

"But in this period of yours, there are more than 200 people, which is far more than the first period——then, what about the rest?!"

Dong Xun raised his finger at the crowd, and this gesture was obviously learned from Jiao Shun: "First, there are no superiors here today, only brothers and sisters from the same school; second, after everyone enters, take the seats in units of homes——Okay, Disband in place! "

"You don't even know this? Thanks to you, you have the nerve to say that he is short-sighted! Foreign devils have recently been in the habit of practicing brush calligraphy, so they specially entrusted the Siyi Pavilion to find a master."

This question was really abrupt, and the work-students were stunned for a while before someone answered in a mixed manner: "Master Jijiu is serious!"

The work-study students who noticed this quietly stopped their noisy discussion, and looked up at the upstairs. The people at the same table all followed suit and followed suit. Gradually, more than two hundred people kept looking up. The posture became quiet.

"This……"

This is even more important. The work-study students looked at each other in blank dismay, and then Shen Jun got up and cupped his hands and said, "As far as the students know, there is indeed this..."

In this way, wouldn't the future be even greater than those of the picket team's predecessors? !

"Second!"

"Although you couldn't be there, we all saw the telegraph!"

"Don't worry!"

At this time, Jiao Shun sighed pretentiously again: "In order to let you all have a future, I have exhausted my brains these past few months, and even the newlywed Yaner's wife has been left out in the cold - I don't expect anything else. I hope you can live up to your kindness."

Before the words fell, all the workers and students got up together.

Jiao Shun looked around the crowd again: "Did I ever keep my promise?"

So Li Qing held up the skirt of his clothes and went upstairs.

Shen Jun still wanted to say something, but seeing that Dong Xun and Chen Wansan had already turned and walked in, he had no choice but to follow suit.

This time, everyone was even more beaming, and their gloom disappeared.

However, Shen Jun frowned and hesitated for a moment, and continued to report: "There are actually two people in 210, please show me the three superiors!"

The work-student student blushed immediately, he was just flattering, how could he know what good intentions Jiao Shun had?
Fortunately, Jiao Shun didn't mean to embarrass him, he glanced at the crowd again and said, "Actually, what I said is true, I, Jiao, are indeed catering to the Holy Will - but if it weren't for the holy Gan Gang's arbitrariness and foresight, how could there be such a thing?" Engineering, how can you and I have what we are today?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused, but they unconsciously gave birth to expectations.

Speaking of this, Jiao Shun looked around the crowd with a smile: "I think, since we are going to leave our hometown and stay away all year round, the imperial court will not treat everyone badly."

Compared with Li Qing, Dong Xun devoted most of his energy to these juniors, so his prestige among the second-term students was far beyond Li Qing's.

"Hey~!"

Seeing this, Chen Wansan and Dong Xun hurriedly knelt down and knelt down. Everyone present saw that the three senior brothers had knelt down. Who would dare to sit still?So they all left the table and knelt down, and the whole hall was filled with dark heads.

The military representative system is still dominated by military officers, but this telegraph system is dominated by the work-student family!

Jiao Shun pointed to Chen Wansan and Dong Xun along the way: "You seniors have already assigned errands before graduation. At that time, in order to accommodate them and let them have a bright future, I combined the situation at that time and proposed The military representative system has been established, and it is promised that all work-students who enter the picket team will be able to fight for a family background in the future."

The man who had previously pissed him off waited for him to go far away, so he couldn't help asking the acquaintances around him: "What are these sour people doing in Sifang Street? I saw several of them this morning."

As he spoke, he walked around Jiao Shun, turned over and fell to his knees at the stairs.

Jiao Shun raised his hand again, and waited for everyone to calm down, then he asked with a smile: "But how did I hear that some people in the engineering school criticized this, saying that although I was offering wine to the engineering school, in fact, I didn't let the engineering school go?" In your heart, you only care about catering to the holy will?"

Dong Xun, Chen Wansan, and Li Qing had been waiting in front of the door for a long time. Seeing that the group of apprentices had finally arrived, Li Qing threw away the melon seeds in his hands, patted the crumbs on his hands, and waited to meet them.

The tea stand was bursting with laughter, full of the joy of laughing at fifty steps and hundred steps.

"Sacrifice Lord!"

Although Jiao Shun often works in the engineering school, after seeing the telegraph machine, everyone still felt refreshed when they saw the master Jijiu again—they had also systematically learned some basic skills in the engineering school. It is precisely because of his knowledge of electricity that he admires Jiao Shun who made the telegraph even more.

"So your chance has come. Three days later, the Engineering Society temporarily set up a telegraph crash course. At that time, the work-study students with the best grades will be hired as telegraph specialists by the Department of Internal Affairs and Communications."

Why do you most likely want to be a foreman when it's your turn? !
Facing the unwilling eyes, Jiao Shun suddenly stepped up two more steps, and said condescendingly to Fang Qiu: "I know you don't want to be wasted like this! That's why I worked overtime to build the telegraph, and Do everything possible to postpone the graduation ceremony, in order to pave a broad road for you!"

"Just yesterday, at the court meeting, I handed over this credit to the Secretary of the General Administration. After one month, at the latest two months, the Secretary of the General Administration will preside over the laying of wired telegraphs in various prefectures in Zhili. To prop up this telegraph network, the Secretary of General Administration needs thirty to forty telegraph commissioners."

The hall of this Juhong building is very spacious. Apart from the building itself, it also extends a lot to the backyard, and the door panels are used to make half a circle of walls. Now they are all open, and the draft from the hall makes people feel refreshed.

When Jiao Shun's tall figure appeared at the top of the stairs, everyone stood up and clapped their hands at the same time: "I have seen Mr. Jijiu!"

At this time, someone rushed to say: "This must be what those... those people did. We all know the good intentions of the adults, so how could we blame the adults?!"

As he said that, he raised his chin and looked up at the young man in charge: "Shen Jun, the first name of the second period, like me and Dong Xun, is awarded the ninth-rank secretary - this kid is more twisted than you, But he is much prettier than you."

However, because of this, Chen Wansan's prestige in the trade union has been overshadowed by Chen Wansan. After all, the core members of the trade union are the vice-captains of the twenty-odd picket teams—as the so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current one, let alone Dong Xun In terms of status, it is slightly inferior to Chen Wansan.

Li Qing waved his hand and smiled at everyone: "It's not at school, besides, the teacher's old man hosted a private banquet, everyone should relax, there is no need to be so serious."

Not to mention this.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were dozens of echoes from all around.

But it is said that more than 200 work-students went west through Sifang Street, and soon came to a restaurant called "Juhonglou".

He never falls behind in such matters, and Chen Wansan and Dong Xun are too lazy to argue with him.

However, half of the seniors in the first batch have now become officials, and even those who have not been officials have their own futures to pursue—the very few who become foremen are themselves. selected.

The man slapped his thigh and said proudly: "It's the militarized management of Laoshizi. I heard that the big factories under the Ministry of Industry are learning again, and even those wealthy businessmen are following suit. Don't say it, this method really works. Listen! Not to mention that it’s faster to make things after the training, and there are even fewer defective products and less fees.”

Li Qing had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly pointed upstairs: "Shall I ask my mentor to come down?"

"Teacher!"

Although the three of them are all ninth ranks at the moment, they are also divided among the ninth ranks. Chen Wansan is in charge of the picket team in the Ministry of Industry, and the bottom is actually in charge of more than [-] military officers from the ninth rank and nearly [-] pickets. As a team member, the three of them naturally respect him.

While everyone was gearing up to fight high, Jiao Shun added: "Don't be discouraged even if you are dismissed, no matter what errand you are assigned in the future, don't forget what you learned in the crash course, after all When it comes time to promote it nationwide, 40 to [-] people will not be enough—but if it can still be dismissed by then, then it’s no wonder I’m going to be blamed.”

However, Chen Wansan had always been a shy person, so he quickly waved his hand, indicating that Dong Xun should come forward.

Dong Xun knew that he was a real person, so he didn't shirk any more, and directly stepped forward and said: "Relax."

Hearing his words, the atmosphere in the team was visibly relaxed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing next to him raised his arm again, and said in greeting, "What are you waiting for? Let's go, let me go in for a drink with Senior Brother!"

Jiao Shun didn't know how many times he looked around the hall, but this time the atmosphere in the hall became obviously depressed. As early as when this issue was not allocated in advance, there were many similar rumors. Those rumors were completely confirmed.

Dong Xun introduced with a smile: "This is you Chen Wansan, Senior Brother Chen. He was the one who picked the head when he went to Dali Temple, and now he is an official in the Ministry of Industry Department with Master Jijiu."

"To this day..."

Li Qing rolled his eyes straight. He still didn't change his old style when he arrived in the engineering school. He was more likely to hang out with his superiors, and he didn't have much contact with the work-study students below. Although he had heard that Shen Jun, who was the number one in the second term, was an old-fashioned person , but I didn't expect to be so rigid.

After a while, he even swallowed the tea foam, counted out two copper coins with staring eyes, put them beside the teacup, then got up, straightened his clothes, and headed towards the Siyi Hall with his hands behind his back.

wrong!

But this is also good, at least the first term of work-study students will feel different, and will be more closely united with themselves.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing poked Chen Wansan with his elbow, and said with a smile, "How about it, is it better than the one we trained?"

As Jiao Shun walked down, he stretched out his hands to press everyone, "Today is a private banquet, everyone, take it easy, take it easy!"

Dong Xun quickly grabbed him, and saw those work-students running past them neatly, until the team with Chen Wansan as the center and the front and back were almost the same length, the tall young man who led the team gave the order: "Stand up!"

As for leaving home...

"exactly!"

At this time, Li Qing, who had been hunched beside Jiao Shun, for fear of surpassing him in height, immediately praised him loudly: "The emperor's kindness is indeed mighty, but if there is no noble person like a mentor in the court, who is willing to run around and open his eyes for us, how can I do it?" Can there be a way out for me?!"

People these days generally value the country, but there is only one thing that can make almost everyone forget the country, and that is being an official!

"Just say what you have to say."

Just when more people were about to stand up and express their opinions, Jiao Shun smiled and asked that person: "Since you know my good intentions, why don't you tell everyone about it for me."

"That's right, compared to the graduation ceremony, the things in the palace are naturally more important!"

And in the future, if there are work-study students who are pleasing to the eye, they can also use the title of master and apprentice to win them over.

No one in the audience could laugh. If there was no senior brother Zhuyu in front of them, they might still be satisfied with returning to their hometown to be a small foreman.

Hearing the order, more than 200 work-study students stepped forward with a sound of 'shua'.

When the people were almost gone, Shen Jun looked at Chen Wansan at the side, and then at Dong Xun, hesitant to speak.

All the work-study students here are fascinated by these words.

"Sit down and listen, all sit down and listen."

Under Jiao Shun's repeated gestures, the work-study students finally sat back down.

At this time, Jiao Shun suddenly smiled again: "Of course, if you want to go back to your hometown and be an ordinary foreman, I can still satisfy you."

Dong Xun raised his hand, and asked with a straight face, "You want me to call you Shen Siwu in advance?"

Jiao Shun persuaded again, and when the hall calmed down again, he looked around the crowd and said, "I couldn't attend the graduation ceremony the day before yesterday, you don't blame me, do you?"

When he said this, he raised two fingers: "The reason why I chose to enter the palace on the day of the graduation ceremony is precisely to pave a broad road for you!"

"But now in the whole world, including me, there are no more than ten fingers who can use telegraphs, and they are either masters of the Ministry of Industry, or they have already been officials."

At first, the work-study students hesitated, but when Dong Xun and Chen Wansan made way for each other, Shen Jun didn't say anything, so they broke up and followed Li Qing.

And when Jiao Shun walked up to five or six steps from the ground, he stopped on the stairs and said with a smile, "Tell me a few things..."

Let me declare in advance that this is not Jiao Shun's unconventional slogan, but one made by Xia Taizu when he was training the new army, and it has been used until now.

Only then did Shen Jun change his words: "Senior Brother Dong, there have always been people secretly provoking and making insinuations at Mr. Jijiu these two days. I tried to check, but I haven't..."

Dong Xun raised his hand again to stop his words, and pointed to the second floor: "With the teacher here, this engineering study will not be able to turn the sky - let's go, we should go in too."

When the old Confucian heard him say that he was short-sighted, his face became even more ugly, but he looked at the bulging muscles on the opponent's arm, and finally chose to shut up, and silently speeded up his tea drinking.

This time, he didn't talk about masters and apprentices anymore. After all, the number of people in the second period has quadrupled, not to mention the third period. In addition to his high position and busy schedule, it is really difficult to spare a lot of time. Then get in touch with these work-study students.

A while ago, the deputy captain of the picket team was collectively awarded the ninth-rank official status, and it also caused conflicts between workers and candidates. How could a work-study student not know about it?
After getting a unanimously affirmative answer, Jiao Shuncai continued: "You can still take this road, but it is far narrower and more difficult than when your brothers walked. After all, there are large-scale military-related factories near Gyeonggi. A picket team has been formed in Shanghai, and there are not many vacancies left."

"You know that too."

At this time, Shen Jun had already ordered the work-study students to turn left collectively, facing the gate of Juhong Building, then trotted forward and cupped his hands: "The second-term students should go to 210, and they actually arrive..."

"As for the Ministry of Industry, the shortage of master craftsman apprentices and book offices may be less than last year."

"And this is just the beginning, because as long as the trial is successful, the imperial court will inevitably push telegrams to all provinces, prefectures and counties across the country. At that time, the first batch of telegraph commissioners will most likely be sent to various places as the main force to promote telegrams."

Dong Xun smiled slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Wansan.

Most of the work-study students who came in first had already taken their seats, so Dong Xun asked Shen Jun to find his roommates in the same room, and then walked to the stairs with Chen Wansan.

This is basically a replica of the last military representative system!

"I'll just say two things."

I heard Chen Qing's heart-piercing roar: "The parents who gave birth to me will sacrifice wine to the one who will become me!"

All the work-students yelled without hesitation, and the roof of the hall trembled for a while.

Jiao Shun hurriedly walked down the steps, helped the three of them up one by one, and said affectionately to the second-term workers and students who were still kneeling on the ground: "I am not one of those Confucian scholars, so I can't say much about it, but I offer wine to the engineering students." , I am determined to pave a way for you and all work-study students to reach the sky!"

As he spoke, he picked up the wine he had prepared earlier from the table beside him, held it up high and said, "Come, let's have a drink!"

The work-students also poured their wine in a hurry. After a while, the arms holding the wine bottles were raised high, densely like a newly planted forest.
