298 Who is joking

This boy has a Hubei accent. Li Dashuai glanced at the boy who dared to rob people with him very unkindly and sneered, "What kind of fairy are you?"

"He is Li Siguang, the president of the China Industrial Association to be established in Nanjing recommended by our alliance." Wang Jingwei, who was extremely annoying to Li, also inserted it. With one hand, he carefully wiped his comb's oily and neat hair. With the other hand, he gently shook the wine glass in his hand and spoke in a handsome shape anytime and anywhere. "But for Mr. Li Siguang's proposal just now, I respect it. I am very Welcome Mr. Ding Wenjiang to this important position.

Who is Li Siguang? Chinese people know it!

"It's Mr. Li Siguang! Nice to meet you, Nice to meet you!" Li Xiang's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn. He praised it step by step, smiled, and took Li Siguang's hand affectionately. "A president of the China Industrial Association, for you, it is not only a big talent and small use, but also in the wrong direction! With you and Mr. Ding Wenjiang, Liangjiang University can set up a School of Geology. In addition, by the way, I would like to tell you that Hubei's Research Institute of Science is also about to carry out construction in Hanyang. It is indispensable for you to go to Liangjiang University to teach and host a research institute, right? China is a hundred years behind Western science and technology. Two gentlemen, I would like to ask you to join my research institute, change the backward status quo of our country, and start our path of scientific power.

Li Xiang didn't know that Li Siguang studied shipbuilding during his seven years of studying in Japan, not geology. There, he also participated in the China Alliance led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen. The second year after Li Siguang returned to China, the Xinhai Revolution broke out. He went to Wuchang with Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren. He was elected as the Minister of Industry of the Hubei Military Government. Just as Li Siguang was preparing to make a great career in Hubei, Huang Xing's two-lake allied forces were defeated in Xiaogan, and Yangxia was defeated, and he returned to Shanghai with Huang Xing.

The original history was that after the failure of the Xinhai Revolution, he was angry and focused on the research of science and technology and took the road of "scientific saving the country". He went to study in the United Kingdom. At the University of Birmingham, he first studied mining, and then transferred to geology, and then he had Li Siguang.

Li Xiang still doesn't know that although Li Siguang is only two years younger than Ding Wenjiang and looks as young as he is, in the field of geology, Li Siguang is still a piece of white paper, but Ding Wenjiang has already become a teacher.

"You..." Wang Jingwei's eyes almost burst out. This guy changes his face faster than turning over a book. It's too shameless to dig a corner blatantly like this. If he hadn't been worried about his identity, some words would really not be scolded on the spot.

"You, you, what's good about you?" Li Xiang laughed. He saw that Ding Wenjiang and Li Siguang were a little excited, although he didn't know that it was that sentence that moved them. No matter what others think, he has continued to say, "What's so strange about this? Is there anyone in China who values scientific and technological talents as much as I do? If Mr. Liangwai is willing to join, I dare not say anything else. I have covered all the research funds, and I will give you as much as you want! In addition, I will never give advice on your research topics, and I will guarantee that I will give you the greatest power in the research institute, and there will never be lay leaders and insides.

A piece of mouth-dropping. No one expected that this eldest brother could speak so directly. Any force or faction, who would be so blatant when attracting benefits to lure others to be loyal to himself? Isn't this a bandit pulling a strong man? Isn't this money to buy a maidservant?

Ding Wenjiang and Li Siguang both looked at this unique madman Li with a very strange look. To be honest, they were moved. Their status in scientific research is similar to that of craftsmen in China. Zhantianyou, who returned from studying abroad in the early years, built a bridge on the railway. Even foreigners admired it, but he was also an ambitious craftsman in Beiyang. Although the alliance will also treat them with courtesy, it is far worse than Li Xiang. The most important thing is that the alliance will not be very interested in the science and technology they have.

Tang Hualong almost laughed to death. Last time in Wuchang, he saw with his own eyes that the Wuchang treasury was empty by this little hooligan with a group of soldiers. When the thief went in, he was about to come out with a bag of tears. The cash in Wuchang City was seized by him. At the beginning, Wuchang City only had more than 300,000 silver coins in the official money bureau, silver coins and copper coins and the vassal treasury. In addition, there were also official Western-style banks, factories, and the property of Zhonghemenqi people... Tang Hualong used his intelligence analysis that he had been the president of the Hubei Capital Council for many years. This small The total amount of cash that hooligans only plundered from Wuchang is no more than 10 million. Now Xinhua Group has unified the two lakes consortium, recaptured the Hankou Concession, and seized China's second largest customs, the Jianghan Pass. Therefore, from the perspective of financial resources alone, no governors everywhere can compete with him. Just looking at the clothes worn by the revolutionary army in various places who came to Shanghai because of the Northern Expedition, you can know that the Guangdong Northern Expedition Revolutionary Army still wears straw shoes on a snowy day, and a clock made of sackcloth bags on his body, but the same leather stand-up collars on his golden eagle guards and calfskin boots.

Go and have a rest. Li Dashuai curled his lips and now that he sees the two founders of modern Chinese science, he must not be ruined by you! If they don't agree, they will also tie them up to Wuhan!

"I..." The future traitor looked at Ding Wenjiang and Li Siguang, and finally didn't have the face to make a price in public. To be honest, he doesn't think that Ding Wenjiang and Li Siguang have any value worth competing with Li Madman.

"Marshal Li, you are so good at joking." Although Chen Qimei has regarded Li Xiang as a comrade in a private chat, she also feels that she can't stand his confession. She quickly laughed and eased the awkward atmosphere.

"Who's kidding? I'm serious!" Li wanted to say with a serious face. He habitually pushed his big-brimmed hat, but he pushed it empty. Today, he didn't wear a big-brimmed hat.

Chen Qimei was dumbfounded and had nothing to say.

"What is the most important thing in the 20th century?" Li wanted to feel good about himself and asked questions like Ge Ye, and then answered himself, "Talent!"

China does not pay too much attention to the training and care of scientific and technological talents, which leads to the backwardness of China's science and technology today. You know, technology is the first productivity! As long as scientific talents such as Ding Wenjiang and Li Siguang are introduced, Li wants to believe that his research institute, with the financial support of the Yangtze River Consortium, will definitely become the first driving force for Hubei's military, economic and explosive development!

"Gentlemen, Marshal Huang, Marshal Li, Chen Dudu, Mr. Song, Mr. Wang," Ding Wenjiang said to all the big shots here: "I came to this banquet this time with a request. I didn't know how to speak, but now I think Maybe there is no need to hesitate. I just had the honor to know Li Dashuai's ideal. I hope that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Nanjing Government will open a geological research class or set up a national Academy of Sciences? I will contact Zhang Junhongzhao and Weng Junwenhao to teach and engage in research here.

Geological research class? National Academy of Sciences? Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren both frowned slightly and didn't quite understand why Li wanted to make such a good condition. Why did he take the initiative to stay in Nanjing? The Nanjing government is in trouble at home and abroad. Where can I have the energy and money to open a money-burning Academy of Sciences now? I heard that the Nanjing treasury is so poor that it only has ten yuan left, and the salaries of soldiers have not been paid.

"I am very gratified that Li Dashuai is doing teaching and scientific research in Wuhan. However, there is more than one Wuhan in China. Teaching must be popularized throughout the country, and scientific research must serve all citizens. Since Li Marshal can establish a scientific research institute in Wuhan today, can the central government in Nanjing also open a larger research institute? Ding Wenjiang looked at everyone's silence, and the more he said, the more confident he became. "This has been my wish for many years."

Sure enough, Li Dashuai, a native emperor in Hubei, is not in the eyes of the two masters!

After a short silence, Li Dashuai said annoidly: "The Academy of Sciences I founded in Wuhan has 13 shares of geology, agriculture and forestry, biology, chemistry, chemical industry, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mining and metallurgy, medicine, physics and so on. It is also planned to publish professional publications such as Science. The purpose of the Academy of Sciences is to contact comrades, study academics, and jointly explore the development of Chinese science. It will never be limited to local areas! The Wuhan Academy of Sciences will certainly play a first role in history. Under its influence and promotion, I believe that modern science and technology will develop in China.

"Marshal Huang, we strongly request Mr. Li Siguang to preside over the China Industrial Association. This is something that has been confirmed earlier and cannot be changed!" Gu Zhongchen stood up with an angry face. Although he didn't know what would be the benefit of Ding Wenjiang and Li Siguang staying in Nanjing, he couldn't take advantage of Li Madman anyway. He added, "I firmly support Mr. Ding Wenjiang's establishment of the Institute of Geology in Nanjing!"

"Yes! We fully support it!" Immediately, there were many people who were hostile to Li Xiang, and at the same time, they seconded the proposal: "National education has the idea of "opening the people's wisdom", which is not to improve the people's education and culture level and learn advanced scientific and cultural knowledge in the West."

"Mr. Ding Wenjiang, can you tell me how much budget it takes to open the Institute of Geology and the Academy of Sciences?" There was a cloud on Huang Xing's face, and he looked at Ding Wenjiang and asked. Gu Zhongchen and others shouted fiercely. I don't know how nervous the finances of the Nanjing Provisional Government are?

"I haven't calculated it," Ding Wenjiang's face was calm: "400,000 yuan is enough for the equipment needed for geological exploration and research classes, and 100,000 yuan is enough. To establish the Academy of Sciences, as Li Dashuai said, the establishment of thirteen shares, I estimate that the budget of four million is barely enough. Well, I'll go back and make a budget for you?"

"There's nothing we can do..." Huang Xing sighed and turned to Gu Zhongchen and said. Ding Wenjiang's budget scared him out of control, and also scared Gu Zhongchen and others to silence.

"Ke Qiang, the geological research class can still be started. This is indispensable for mining, and the funds can also be donated through the Ministry of Industry and Commerce." Wang Jingwei kicked his own boots, nodded to Huang Xing, and said to Li Siguang, "The China Industrial Association must also be established immediately. Mr. Li Siguang can't shirk this responsibility."

Ding Wenjiang and Li Siguang were obviously a little disappointed with Wang Jingwei's beautiful words.
