Alchemy Greater China

() The purchase price is low, and the miners' remuneration is also low!

However, due to lack of excuses, Long Bo has been unable to ask Schmidt for an increase in remuneration.

But this time Pulitzer and other foreign shareholders entered Alaska, Long Bo thought he saw hope, and he could use this to put pressure on Schmidt, and took the opportunity to ask Schmidt to increase the remuneration paid to the aborigines, including warm fish and nightmare horses. The purchase price of meat, the purchase price of game, the salaries and benefits of miners...'No pull, no pull' and so on.

Long Bo's wishful thinking was resounding, but he did not expect that the security forces of Pulitzer's shareholders were so disappointing that they were defeated by Schmidt's guards, and they were completely defeated!In desperation, Long Bo immediately changed his strategy, bought a representative of a small family like Hulk, and ordered him to use words against Schmidt at the trial meeting, to save the lives of the three Pulitzers first, and then arrange Hulk entered the cell where the Pulitzer trio were and lobbied.

Lumber asked Hulk Moyes to act as a broker to ask if the three of Pulitzer would cooperate with him to fight against Schmidt, who was dominant in Alaska. ..

Hulk's lips fluttered up and down, and he talked about these things for a full 45 minutes. When he finally finished speaking, the sky outside was a little bright!

Hulk recalled that what he had 'recited' should not have missed much, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "The basic meaning of Uncle Long is like this. If the three adults intend to cooperate, Uncle Long will naturally think about it." There is a way to save you from Schmidt's clutches!"

During the listening process, Pulitzer's eyes sparkled all the time, and he said nothing, while the corner of Kingclair's mouth showed an ecstatic smile. As for Gordon, he wiped his head and murmured : "Is there such a good thing? This cooperation. I'm afraid we will be taken advantage of by that Long Bo!"

"Hmph, I'm relieved to be taken advantage of!"

Pulitzer closed his eyes, then opened them, clapped his hands and said, "Think about it, everyone, what is our situation now? That's the dough in Schmidt's bastard's hands, and he can knead it however he wants! He asked So many reporters came to take pictures and record. Think about it, as long as what happened here is announced, it would be good for our respective families not to be driven out of Alaska by Schmidt... But no matter what the family is, the three of us definitely They will all be abandoned by the family, and when Schmidt invites a judge, hehe, he can kill us any way he wants!"

King Klay and Gordon looked at each other, their scalps were tingling, and they both nodded repeatedly.Totally agree with Pulitzer's point of view.

It's true that they are the elites of their respective families, but super chaebols like Morgan and Rockefeller have cultivated more than a few elites?Pulitzer and the others made a huge mistake this time, and lost a lot of money and face. The family will definitely condemn them and punish them, or in other words...the family will ignore them.For them, it is already the best result.

Uh... the best outcome is that one's own life is in Schmidt's hands?

Such a cruel reality.The three of Pulitzer made an easy choice: cooperate with Long Bo, and give it a try no matter what!Hope to have a sunny day!Purdue yourself!

At that moment, the four people with the same illness held hands tightly together in the dark prison cell, their eyes met, and there were sparks of excitement and eagerness in their eye sockets.

The three of Pulitzer were thinking in their hearts: Well, cooperate with the local aborigines.Sounds great!Huh, this is the only way to turn salty fish over and counterattack Schmidt!

Hulk relaxed all over, thinking in his mind: It took a few tons of saliva to finally convince these three people, wow.Now not only my life is saved, but the benefits that Schmidt promised me should also be available...

Now that the four had reached a consensus, Hulk then started yelling in the cell, trying to attract the guards at the door.

According to Hulk, this is the secret signal that he and Uncle Lun made. As long as the noise he made gets out, Uncle Lun will know that Pulitzer and the three of them have accepted the intention of cooperation, and the next step is Waiting for Long Bo to use his means to fish the four of them out.

Gordon Loeb has some doubts about this: Schmidt's guards are strong and strong. Even if Long Bo is an "old monster" over a hundred years old, would he have the capital to confront Schmidt?

Hulk explained: Don't worry about this, even though Schmidt's escort team has 5000 people, but most of them are from local aborigines. But with strong influence and appeal, Schmidt would generally treat Long Bo a little less as long as he did not go too far.What's more, the nightmare horses in the escort team were originally raised by the local aborigines. If Schmidt and Long Bo broke their faces, he would not want to have these horses again, and he would lose them. Without the powerful cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the guards would drop by at least two levels. Schmidt and his company would never allow this to happen.

One is to let the three Pulitzers go, and the other is to shake the foundation in Alaska. How to choose, I believe Schmidt will be easy to make.

Just when Hulk was yelling in the cell to carry out the agreed 'signature', the central command building of Mingyue Village was full of people.Upstairs, downstairs, inside and outside the building, all are covered with gas lamps and electric lights, illuminating the three-story wooden building before dawn as if it were daytime.

The command building is the core of Mingyue Village, and the Dragon Scale Army recaptured the village, so this wooden building naturally became a place for the senior leaders of Huaxia Town to hold meetings and discuss matters.

No, on the second floor of the wooden building, the place that was once used as a meeting room by Pulitzer and other heads of the seven consortiums was already full of people, as many as a hundred people!

There are a group of "civilian personnel" from the Huaxia Town Executive Yuan represented by Long Bo, Long Ganruo, and Long Xiaohu, as well as "military thugs" such as a group of senior generals from the army and navy led by Lei Long and Xie Zhi respectively. The rest are the outstanding party members that the Dragonscale Party has been cultivating recently, as well as "international friends" like De Jong Wade and Delfino who came from outside Alaska.

The meeting room, which was supposed to be fairly spacious, now looks overcrowded, and it can hardly hold it!

There is no doubt that this is a very high-level meeting, and the participants are all the core decision-making class of Huaxia Town and allies and partners who can be absolutely assured.

This meeting was held overnight after the Dragon Scale Army took over Mingyue Village, cleaned up the dilapidated battlefield, and settled a large number of prisoners.From the middle of the night to the rooster morning, it lasted for more than six hours without stopping.Many issues have already been discussed, including issues such as the disposal of prisoners, follow-up construction, and compensation for casualties. Each issue is divided into dozens of small issues to address these small issues.These more than a hundred people had an extremely heated discussion, and everyone, regardless of their position, was able to speak freely.

So now, except for Uncle Long, who has achieved internal strength, and Schmidt, who is indifferent and slips out to doze off for a while, everyone has bloodshot eyes, dry lips and tongue, and is very tired.

And among these tired people, "international friends" like Delfino and Wade who have never practiced radio sports are the most!

While they were amazed by the friendly, open, equal, and open discussion atmosphere in Huaxia Town, their eyelids could not be opened for a long time, and their eyeballs were bloodshot.I really can't wait to find a grass nest and lie in it directly, and sleep for three days and three nights without waking up.

But Delfino and the others can’t go to sleep without worries like Schmidt. Schmidt told them in a meeting that the right to build the railroad in Alaska will be discussed at this meeting, and they are representatives. People from the 'Carnegie Steel Group' competing for the right to build the railway must show sincerity and make a good impression on the local 'natives'. fino.If these 'aboriginal people' don't buy it, the Carnegie Steel Group will build a railway here in the future.I'm afraid these 'natives' will cause some trouble for Delfino and the others.

With Schmidt saying this, how dare Delfino and his 'bidding' team dare to slack off?For more than six hours, Delfino listened to everyone's words verbatim, until he was dizzy and his temples hurt!

Not to mention Wade, this meeting is great news material, he held a pen.Whispering and jotting down in the notebook.

So, up to now, Wade is still young, but Delfino, a railway expert, is in great trouble. How long ago did he suffer like this?Even back when the Great Western Railroad was being laid.He didn't stay up all night like this, trying his best to hold on!

Seeing Wade and Delfino's group of "international friends" want to sleep but dare not sleep, desperately holding on, Lei Long and the others are all amused: Hehe, that's what we want, and let you know our Huaxia Town The ethos of equal min zhu will make you dizzy, and you have no time to notice some hidden details of our communication...

It turned out that after knowing that Delfino represented Andrew Carnegie, who was subdued by Long Hao, these "old lineage elders" deliberately arranged such a long meeting to tease Delfino who was not very sophisticated.This can also be regarded as a disguised "dismissal" of Long Hao's "Huaxia Township" to the "San Francisco Branch"?

The topic continued. In the conference room, gas lamps and electric lamps were hung together. No one would have any resistance to gas lamps. After all, they have been used for so many years. On the contrary, those light bulbs and the "rumbling rumbling" outside the wooden building have been The 'generator' that keeps making noise made it difficult for most people present to understand.

Obviously there are already gas lamps for lighting, why did the Executive Yuan spend a lot of money to ship these 'generators' and so many light bulbs from the United States?

As soon as this question was raised, Long Bo replied in one sentence: "This is what the young master means. In the future, Huaxia Town will move closer to the direction of 'electrification'. This is the future development trend of the world... These generators and light bulbs are bought I came here to study and study for you. When the young master brings back advanced talents in this field from Europe, you should follow them well, thoroughly understand the scientific knowledge about 'electricity', and understand the scientific knowledge of these talents and experts. The goods are squeezed clean!... After we strive for experts who have left the foreigners, we can also produce some big guys that use electricity!"

These words are basically what Long Bo reprimanded those military men. Sure enough, Lei Long, Xie Zhi and others who had objections to "electric lights" immediately fell silent and shrank aside when they heard that it was related to science and technology. They are good at fighting and killing enemies and taking people across the sea, but if they are asked to study "lights" and "generators", they will roll their eyes and stare blankly!

The idea in their hearts is: when it comes to these things about foreigners, it is estimated that only those young children studying in the United States understand, and these people.They have already followed Yung Wing to the United States to study!The rest of us, the bastards, can still expect us to make such weird things as electric lights?

Fortunately, these "big bosses" were not within the scope of Long Hao's expectations. The Yongjin University founded by Long Hao has already recruited nearly a thousand children aged six to 15 in Huaxia Town, starting from literacy and arithmetic. teach.When the children have a certain foundation, they will teach the knowledge of foreigners (also called Western learning) such as Chinese, Gewu, chemistry, mathematics, etc. one by one.

The current Yongjin University Hall is divided into three parts, not according to the age of the students, but according to the foundation and interests of the students.

One is the enlightenment education, the other is the traditional science examination education, and the last one is based on the settings of primary and secondary schools in Western countries, teaching these children Western knowledge that they have never been exposed to, so this part is also called Western education.

Judging from the current situation, the enlightenment education sector has the most students.Not only school-age children from various households, but even many elderly residents of Huaxia Town will also find time to come in to learn and read, such as miners, construction workers, retired soldiers and so on.You know, reading and writing, this is the treatment that only the rich can enjoy, but these original hardships have now turned around in Huaxia Town, under the premise of not worrying about food and clothing.Then I had the energy to spare the time to eagerly learn these Chinese characters of the motherland that I could speak but couldn't write!This passion.It's not an ordinary high!

Therefore, the Enlightenment Education is the only one that is taught by teachers around the clock. During the day, it teaches children, and at night, it opens night school cram schools to teach these elders. No, those teachers that Thunder Dragon scavenged from various places are exhausted. half dead.

This should be cited in scientific research.According to Long Hao's order, Long Bo didn't intend to open it.That's right, the back of your head has been plucked. After you have learned these stereotyped essays, do you still want to return to the Qing Dynasty to serve the emperor with braids?

but.With the rapid expansion of the population of Huaxia Town, the refugees recruited later gradually became dissatisfied with the fact that their children only learned to read and did not read the Four Books and Five Classics after they had no worries about food and clothing. There is only one thought in my head: If you don’t read sage books and write stereotyped essays, is that still called reading?

Under the pressure of this group of people, Uncle Long discussed with his colleagues in the Executive Yuan, and decided that in the absence of Long Hao, the most important thing was to stabilize the overall situation, so he set up a section called "Science Examination Application" in the Yongjin University Hall. , and really recruited some down-and-out old masters who failed the rankings in the Qing Dynasty, standing in the classroom shaking their heads and teaching all the knowledge of stereotyped science examinations. As for whether they misled their children, Long Bo and the others didn't care.

Needless to say, the power of habit is enormous. Since Yongjin University opened the section of "Science Examination Application", the number of applicants has steadily increased, and it has gradually tended to keep pace with the section of Western education.

No way, who makes the parents of each child value the scientific examination the most?Holding a feather duster, I forced my children to read those stereotyped books.

Regarding this situation, Uncle Long and the others were also very helpless. It seemed that this strange scene of going off track could only be resolved when Long Hao came back.

Compared with the traditional and conservative ideological confinement, the children's choice was in line with the expectations of Long Bo and others, which gave them some comfort.Children who enter Yongjin University can voluntarily transfer to Western education after they have learned 500 Chinese characters and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (this level can already be an accountant in the Qing Dynasty). Accept the domestic primary and secondary education imitated by Western powers, learn natural sciences, lay a solid foundation, and lay a solid foundation for various science and technology-related jobs in the future.

These jobs include: shipwreckers in shipbuilding, welders in smelting, lathe workers in machine tools, etc. Although Long Hao can recruit many such blue-collar workers from the European continent cheaply, they are not of my race, and their hearts must be different. rest assured.

Only by training our next generation well can the future of Huaxia Town be brighter.

The teachers invited for the western education area were all 'abducted' from the mainland of the United States. Most of the credit for this must be attributed to Rong Shangqin, Long Hao's staff member and the first group of young children studying in the United States. Before taking refuge in Long Hao, he was an American middle school teacher. When Long Hao proposed to send a group of qualified western middle and primary school teachers to Huaxia Town, he used his network of contacts and US dollars as a bait, "even with the Mongolian belt." They tricked them into getting more than a dozen teachers, and sent them all to Thunder Dragon's ship.

And these unlucky teachers just added a few names to the 'unknown missing persons' record books in the police bureaus of various cities...

Needless to say, the set of Western education is more likely to arouse children's interest, such as mathematical principles, physical and chemical experiments, and biological anatomy, it seems that they are born to catch the hearts of these young children who have opened up their wisdom.

Therefore, in Yongjin University, the atmosphere of Western education is the most lively, and the vitality is also the most abundant!

It’s just pity for those foreign teachers who have been “abducted”, their daily courses are full, if it is not for Long Bo’s warning to the president who bravely entered the university not to go fishing, these foreign teachers may have to work [-] hours a day For more than an hour, I was almost exhausted!
