Tune the Pacific

Chapter 298 Teach him? It's difficult!

The locomotive rumbles, and the film outside the window is swept back. It can't be compared with the high-speed railways of later generations, and it is not the first time to take the old-fashioned train of this era, but it feels completely different to be able to walk along the railway tracks you built on your own land.

The only regret is that the carriage under the buttocks and the front of the front are still purchased from the United States for the time being. Although the technical ability in my hand has reached the level of building a 20,000-ton Chinese ship, it requires the cooperation of many departments of laboratories and factories. It can be said that it is all the strength of the hand. One battle!

It's like a red fruit on the tree, but it is pulled by a branch as thin as hair, and there is a fault in the trunk under the hair. The most important thing is that the root system only stays on the surface of the soil and does not deeply plunge into the soil.

This is the image metaphor of Master Li after a few years of time travel.

Relying on the prophet's foresight, digging treasures, mining veins all over the world, playing capital games, and then using the reuse of this money to lure, coerce and even kidnap, bring thousands of foreign scientists to this land, and finally use generous financial security and technical allocation to keep these people and form There are laboratories that can make the world jealous.

Among so many laboratories, Tesla's electrification and communication laboratory, Diser's power laboratory, the physics and materials laboratory led by Madame Curie, and the flight laboratory are the most precious. There are not only masters, but also nearly 100 special scientific and technological talents from various countries, and There are also as many as 400 Chinese interns around the four major laboratories.

In addition, there are dozens of laboratories under the Academy of Sciences, and now there are nearly a thousand Chinese interns. Some of them have gradually become the backbone of the i laboratory after several years of internships. Although some have not been successful, they are still working tirelessly and working hard at the same time. Learn knowledge and experience from these scientists.

From the moment they stepped into the Academy of Sciences, Li Mo had seen everyone, with no slogans, no shouts, only a faint but frightening words.

"Syue hard and work hard. The future of the Chinese can't rely on warships and cannons alone. You are the real backbone of the nation." Nearly a thousand Chinese interns, inspired by this sentence, devoted themselves to research and embarked on the road of stealing teachers and innovation.

Sometimes even Li Mo himself can't believe that people in this era are so simple and persistent. For the dream in their hearts, they are not only willing to throw their heads and blood, but also willing to dedicate their lives silently and persistently.

Two bombs and one star!

Li Mo suddenly remembered the famous spirit that moved countless descendants. It can be said that the young faces in the academy at this moment, under the leadership of Chang Lin, an outstanding representative, are working hard with the spirit of not losing to them.

Compared with the impetuousness and slackness of later generations, compared with those who have received state funding and achieved success in their studies abroad, but are unwilling to come back for reasons such as poor environment, they are the real national elites!

In the eyes of Li Enfu and others, Li Mo is a firm supporter of the strategy, but he is also an innovator of the concept of going out. In the case of constantly mining all kinds of talents from abroad, even senior technicians are unwilling to let go, he also sends many excellent overseas Chinese students out and let them stand on the shoulders of giants. Go, absorb nutrients and then come back.

But it's not enough, because they all have one thing in common. They are all descendants of overseas Chinese.

Yes, they are all Chinese blood left by their ancestors. They have advantages in some aspects, because compared with the rotten domestic situation, although their status is low and their life is difficult, at least one thing is better than that in China, that is, they all have a certain language foundation, and they live in a more developed Europe and the United States. Closer to advanced technology and knowledge, many people, like Li Enfu, have achieved success in their studies through their own efforts but have no way to serve the country. In the end, they have to end up depressed overseas.

Many people know the young children studying in the United States and the young children studying in France, but few people pay attention to those Chinese descendants who reproduce overseas.

History, there are many overseas Chinese who have received a good education, just like Feng Qi and Xie Zantai. According to a piece of information that Li Mo saw when he studied in the United States in his previous life, between 1890 and 1910, there were more than 3,000 Chinese who graduated from institutions of higher learning in the United States alone, perhaps many People will not believe this data, because everyone knows the infamous Chinese exclusion law, but in fact, Chinese students are not completely banned from studying in the United States, but they are eventually submerged in the tide of history because of the lack of historical records or their inability to return home for service.

But now it's different. Master Li came back. He started with a shameless golden finger and swept the Japanese to defeat Russia, forcing the great powers to face up to this force. At least he would not wave his sword for no reason, but chose to sit down and speak well with his mouth. It can be said that he almost supported the sky for the Chinese. , opened a window with light.

Under his prestige and solicitation, these excellent Chinese from Europe and the United States were almost caught, and finally condensed into the most essential fruit with those foreign scientists.

But this is not enough. The huge talent fault crisis has attracted Li Mo's attention. Therefore, as early as he became a duke in Honolulu, he contacted Britain, France and other countries. He not only sent military students, but also sent several groups of nearly 2,000 international students.

These people are also descendants of overseas Chinese. They first studied at the University of Hawaii, which Li Mo merged several colleges and established by him. After passing the preliminary language and basic knowledge, they went to Europe and the United States to study. At the beginning, all the expenses were funded and sponsored by Li Mo, but under the first move of this kind of education, The Lin family and the Huang family took the lead in joining in funding together. Gradually, many people who became rich first under the leadership of Li Mo also joined in.

Now it has been three years, and these people have gradually completed their studies and begun to return. They have all become the backbone of the State Council, departments and factories, and some of them have followed the footsteps of their predecessors into the Academy of Sciences.

But the resources of overseas Chinese are not unlimited. The vast majority of them are still low-ranking laborers. After taking Luzon recently, the new generation of Chinese in Nanyang made him slow down a little. Another batch of newly screened Chinese children from Nanyang entered the University of Hawaii to study and are about to go abroad before returning to serve the country. However, their subsequent faults are already very obvious, so what Li Mo urgently needs at present is to activate a larger domestic talent pool.

It is said that the end of the Qing Dynasty was the era when Bai Ding was rampant, but the huge population base of more than 400 million means that many potential students can still be found, just like Liang Qichao, who is holding a thick education plan in front of him, with a red face and straight eyes.

The corners of Master Li's mouth hooked that there was no one in the Qing Dynasty, but that there were too few people who knew and used people!

However, in his eyes, although these people are intelligent, hardworking, and even sacrificed, the defects are also very obvious, that is, the eight-stranded thinking and lack of concept of advanced science, lack of practical ability, and very difficult language.

So intellectuals and excellent students in this era also need to do a good job.

In the sound of rolling wheels, Liang Qichao had no time to feel the feeling of taking the train. Looking at Li Mo, who was sitting on the opposite side, with a smile on the corners of his mouth, and then looking at the thick stack of international student training plan in his hand, he only felt a burst of blood rushing to his forehead, and the corners of his mouth were a little shivering.

Britain, France, Germany, the United States and Italy took advantage of Japan's interests to negotiate and take advantage of the eagerness of countries to buy airships. The young man abruptly dug out ten years from the mouths of the five countries. Every year, each country has a quota of 500 government-sponsored international students. That is to say, in the next ten years, there will be 25,000 excellent students. With the support of this plan, Xiu students will go out of the yellow land that has been tired for generations, go abroad, and get close to the schools of the great powers to absorb knowledge.

What makes him rub his eyes more is that from the time these students were screened out and entered the University of Hawaii, all the expenses until they returned from abroad are borne by Li Mo. He is not a pedantic person. He knows very well how much it costs!

"Ha ha, the New Deal Axe is still very poor. It happens that I have some savings in my hand. I can still afford this money, but I need someone to help me manage these students' chores. I can't spend too much money. If I don't do that, I will go bankrupt."

"Hehe, so I don't know if Brother Zhuo Ru is willing to share it for me?"

"Master Li, do you mean that I should be responsible for the management of these students? But myself..."

"Zhuo Ru, the young master's meaning is not only management. Half of the people in this plan are selected from overseas Chinese children, and the other half will be assigned to China. In addition, these people need you to personally go to various places to screen and choose what kind of people. I believe you must be very clear. Of course, the young master will also send someone to help you. What you want to do is to set up the dispatch office as soon as possible. These students will be our treasures and the backbone of the country in the future!" Yan Fu smiled and explained for Liang Qichao.

"The expatriate office will be built in Honolulu, so that you can go to the University of Hawaii to study and work at the same time, but it will be more difficult, and for them, I'm afraid you can't go to Europe to study abroad, and I'm going to wrong you."

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Liang Qichao waved his hand repeatedly and said, "No, the young master is wrong. He can make tens of thousands of students study abroad at ease, even if he wants Qichao's life!" Compared with the young master, Qichao can only be regarded as a person who waters flowers and water. Young master, you are the fertile soil!"

"Ha ha..., it's a good flattery."

Master Li was itchy and took a new document and handed it to Liang Qichao. Before he could speak after seeing the document, Yan Fu explained it first: "Zhuo Ru, take a look at this again. This is the plan that the young master is going to implement to promote the three northeastern provinces and popularize basic education. The young master will not only send tens of thousands of students abroad this time. Studying abroad, we are also going to implement free education in the three northeastern provinces, so that children in the three provinces can read books, and we are also ready to enforce it. However, anyone who is unwilling to let their children come to study must pay a fine and be sentenced to labor.

"Penalty for hard labor forced reading?!"

Liang Qichao's eyes suddenly widened a lot. It was the first time he heard that someone did this. Before he could express his feelings, Yan Fu's other words almost made his heart beat stop.

"Ha ha, this money will also be paid by the young master for the time being. When the financial pressure of our State Council is less, we will slowly take over."

"The students in the three northeastern provinces are all paid by one person!" Liang Qichao rose up suddenly and was full of astonishment.

Li Mo smiled and asked him to sit down. Instead, he didn't explain immediately. Instead, he got up and smiled and said, "Brother Zhuo Ru might as well take a break and chat with Mr. Yan to see the plan. I'll go and see how the experiment is going first. I'll talk to Fengtian later."

"Look at the test drive?

"Young master, do you know the train?" Liang Qichao looked at Li Mo in surprise. He had also seen the previous carriage before, which were all machines and so on. For him, it was Tianshu, and he couldn't understand the words of the engineers, so he only looked at it for a while and came back. Unexpectedly, Li Mo was going to see it.

"I know a little." Li Mo smiled and said, "I used to learn mechanics, so I can understand some."

"How to learn machinery?" Looking at Li Mo's Yanjing, Liang Qichao was stunned. Yan Fu had already laughed and said, "Zhuo Ru, you underestimate the young master. Do you think he beat this country because he has money, people, and artillery warships? Let me tell you, the boilers and new power machines used on our warships, the cars you saw not long ago, and the power plant, and there are many things you don't know. They are all made by the young master with people!"

"So it is, so it is so..." Looking at the back that disappeared in the carriage and listening to Yan Fu's words, Liang Qichao looked down at the two thick plans in his hand. He suddenly had an unreal feeling, as if he had a dream, but he really didn't want to wake up again this time! --

"Mr. Sun, please."

In the mist in the early morning of Fengtian, under the leadership of Duan Fei, Mr. Sun quickly squeezed into the crowd. When the small railway station appeared in front of him, he was also shocked. He only saw a sea of people on both sides of the station. In addition to the political axe officials, a large number of soldiers were scattered around. In addition to the soldiers, he had to According to the news, there will be a train coming today, and I want to see this kind of new ordinary people.

Although there are several railways in the Qing Dynasty, it is the first time to appear on the northeast, and it is still so far away, so it is normal to attract people, but...

Mr. Sun saw a group of people next to him who seemed to be teachers. He frowned. Why did they come? Is it forced here?

"Mr. Sun, you can walk freely after you get here. I won't stop you." Duan Fei saw his mind, pointed to the teachers and said, "Why did they come? I think you can ask them yourself."

Mr. Sun looked at Duan Fei. Although he didn't like this gloomy young man, in order to understand Li Mo more deeply, he immediately walked into the teachers and began to talk.

Across the crowd, looking at Mr. Sun, whose eyebrows seemed to be beginning to change, Duan Fei hooked the corners of his mouth, greeted someone to stare at him, and immediately walked to the station.

A moment later, the rumble of wheels appeared in everyone's vision with black smoke. When the train made a harsh whistle, some timid children immediately covered their ears with fear. It was not until the giant dragged four carriages slowly against the mountain platform that people saw the fixed smoke for the first time. The chimney, with black smoke and several big wheels connected to the steel monster.

When the locomotive captain discharged the remaining steam and brought a piece of white smoke into the fog, many people were even scared to retreat. Fortunately, the exhaust ended quickly, and everyone regained their calm. Some bold young people saw the soldiers indifferent and deliberately walked into some. They wanted to see clearly. Why can these big guys run on the tracks?

In the carriage, Li Mo stretched out for a later life. It took less than half a day for Lushun to Fengtian, but now he has walked for more than ten hours. He set out yesterday evening and didn't arrive until this moment. It's really a little sorry for the title of the railway artery.

Fortunately, this is only a test, and there is still potential for significant acceleration in the future. The most important thing is that this major artery will not be disturbed by the weather. It can make full use of the advantages of the only unfrozen port in the northeast of Lushun to continuously transfer material resources to the industrial base camp of Fengtian. For this reason, the navy also deliberately drove all the main forces of the First Fleet back to Liu. The ball and Honolulu are to maximize the throughput capacity and give way to economic construction.

"Young master, this is my teacher, Mr. Yang Jingzhen." As soon as Li Mo got out of the car, Zhang Zuolin took everyone to greet him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Yang. I've heard about it for a long time. I'm really lucky to see you." Li Mo smiled and shook hands and said, "If you can cultivate such talents as Zuolin, you can see that you are talented."

Yang Jingzhen didn't expect that this figure, who was in charge of more than 100,000 troops and had a powerful sailor who swept Russia and was not inferior to the foreigners, was so young and approachable. At the beginning, when he saw Li Mo stretching out his hand, he almost dared to hold it. He quickly waved his hand and said, "The young master praised it. Yang is really Don't praise it like this."

"Ha ha, you're welcome, sir. Although Li Mo is a rude person, he is used to being straightforward and living overseas for many years. He is not familiar with domestic etiquette, but I still understand the principle that Chinese respects teachers since ancient times. Mr. He is dedicated to learning and cultivates talents for the country. It is not good for me to let you come to Fengtian, so I still Please forgive me, sir and everyone. As Li Mo said, he glanced at the hundreds of teachers behind Yang Jingzhen, who also secretly praised Yang Jingzhen's connections and asked, "Mr. Yang, these are all..."

"Master Li praised it." Yang Jingzhen said politely again. When he saw Li Mo asking the gentlemen behind him, he hurriedly said, "These are the teachers I contacted these days. They heard that the young master was going to study for free, and they were willing to come to help."

"Great!" Li Mo clapped his palm and shouted, "I can get your help. Li Mo, thank you on behalf of those students!" Please rest assured that although it is free to study, Li Mo will not treat everyone badly. Although we still have such difficulties and funds are a little tight, but no matter what! I'm determined to continue this free study!"

"Master Li is very gratful! Thank you, young master, for your kindness!" Brother Pang stood behind Yang Jingzhen. Hearing Li Mo admit that he would study for free, he trembled with excitement. He quickly took the lead and shouted, "As for us, as long as we can have a bite of grain."

"Haha..." Li Mo laughed and said, "This old gentleman can rest assured that Li Mo can still support the cost of the three northeastern provinces. In the future, it will depend on everyone to support each other."

As soon as Li Mo's words came out, it immediately caused a little scratch. Everyone also understood the thoughts of Master Li. He was determined to be in the world!

"Free teaching is a great merit, but if you force others to study, if you don't come, you will be fined for hard labor, isn't it a little too much?" Just as everyone was recalling Li Mo's words, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

Li Mo looked up and saw a man in dress walking out of the crowd. As he walked, he said, "The Northeast is remote. Although it is a good thing for you to build factories, repair railways, and open up wasteland, please don't forget that these children used to work at home. Which family doesn't use them as labor? If they all come to school, if they encounter major events such as busy farming, won't they miss their harvest?!"

"Who is this gentleman?" Looking at the man, Li Mo's heart trembled. Although he had seen a lot of photos of this person, he still didn't dare to confirm when he saw the real person this time. He hurriedly asked.

"No, I'm Sun Wen."

"It's really him!" Li Mo hooked the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Mr. Sun. I have known him for a long time. Mr. The world is the heart of the public, but it can be said to be the moon. Li Mo admired."

"Mr. Li praised me for this trip to Liaodong, which really impressed me, but please answer what I just said." Mr. Sun looked at Li Mo and asked with a fist.

It is the first time that Du Dazhuang has seen a person who is so rude to the young master. He just wanted to move, but he was quietly pulled by Duan Fei on the side. Before he could ask why he stopped him, Li Mo had already replied with a smile, "Sir, what you said is true, but you have just come here. I don't know yet. I have ordered someone to change the semester to two paragraphs. The students have a few months of holidays every year, and the holidays happen to be arranged during the busy farming season. Besides, if you really have something to do, you have to leave for a few days. Li Mo is not an inhumane person.

"Then I'm relieved. I took the liberty to ask Mr. Li to forgive me." After listening to Li Mo's words, Mr. Sun smiled and said quickly.

"If you are here for the first time, why don't you go with me for a while?"

"Walk with me." Hearing this sentence, even Du Dazhuang also knew that the young master had issued an invitation, and Duan Fei frowned even more. He was very clear about Mr. Sun's ability, and the concept of this person and the young master is fundamentally the same. What will happen when the two come together?

Even Yan Fu, who accompanied him this time, frowned. I don't know why Li Mo, who was still saying that the Republic was not desirable before, threw an olive branch to the firm supporter of the Republic. You know, he had heard of this strong heart!

Yang Jingzhen and others around them don't know the relationship between the two. They are all envious of this one who can be favored by others. They secretly call for luck. Only Mr. Sun was slightly stunned, but looking at Li Mocheng's sincere face, thinking of what they saw all the way, they also have some expectations in their hearts. They want to see who this young master Li is. Unexpectedly, he could create such a big foundation, so he nodded.

Seeing that he finally nodded, Li Mo was deeply relieved. He did not dare to convince the one in front of him, but somehow he wanted to try. At least he should not let these characters hide somewhere for the rest of his life!

"** He? It's difficult!"

In the corner, Master Li pointed to each other, with a sad face...
