Chapter 88 Niu Yugeng and Miao Tsuen Sun

As the founder of Jiangnan National Academy, Hu Chuyuan actually has a very special recruitment strength, which is crooked, and he didn't even think of it in advance.

After Yan Shizhang went to Shanghai, Miao Tsuen Sun, Niu Yugeng and Gu Jiaxiang heard that it was Hu Chuyuan who wanted to recruit them to be staff, and they were very anxious. Without saying anything, they didn't even ask about the salary. That night, they rented a ship with Yan Shizhang to Hangzhou.

All three of them come from a relatively rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang landlord official gentry family. They have a less view of money and pay more attention to the special opportunities that Hu Chuyuan will bring to them.

People still want to do something in this world.

Of course, they all know in their hearts... The salary is definitely not bad, at least it will not be lower than their income in Jiangnan National Academy.

Without waiting for two or three days, Yan Shizhang took the three people to the Hu family's courtyard. For them, Hu Chuyuan was also a particularly grand treat.

After the banquet, Hu Chuyuan led them to wander around the west garden of the Hu family's courtyard. After a walk, he sat down in the lakeside pavilion, drank tea and talked.

After just a few words of gossip, Miao Tsuensun couldn't wait to test with Hu Chuyuan, "I don't know if there is something urgent for the cavalry lieutenant to recruit us so urgently this time?"

"This...?" Hu Chuyuan was not prepared, mainly because he didn't expect that they would rush over overnight and even left his family in Shanghai.

After a little thought, he laughed loudly and said, "I invited three gentlemen to come here for a long time...!"

Before Hu Chuyuan finished speaking, Gu Jiaxiang smiled and said, "As long as we can use our place, it doesn't matter if we say anything. We will do everything we have learned in our lives to assist the cavalry captain to achieve great things."

Among the three, Niu Yugeng is the oldest, only 42 years old, and he has been a scholar for four years in Tongzhi. Miao Tsuen's grandson is 35 years old, and Gu Jiaxiang is 26 years old. They are both Jinshi in Guangxu and have little seniority.

Hu Chuyuan signaled Gu Jiaxiang not to worry and said, "If there is no accident, I may go to Fuzhou to serve as the Fuzhou shipping administration. I don't hide it, and you may also know that if I take up this position, I will be presiding over all the affairs of the ship's government office, which is of great matter, so I would like to ask Mr. Yan to assist me.

Niu Yugeng frowned slightly and said, "I'm glad that the cavalry lieutenant can invite me, but I'm not good at ship administration."

Yan Shizhang smiled and said, "Runsheng, even if we don't know the ship's affairs, we can stay in the curtain, plan and make suggestions. Besides, I'm almost 60 years old and I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of? If you don't understand, you can learn slowly. Ship administration is a national event and is deeply valued by the court. Since you want to serve the country, why don't you learn more about this?

Niu Yugeng arched his hand and said to Yan Shizhang, "What's your lesson is."

Yan Shizhang was a scholar in the Xianfeng period and served as a servant of the Ministry of Servants. He was very senior. If he had not been implicated in the "stabbed horse case", he would have been a feudal official at the level of governor and governor with his talent.

It is normal for Niu Yugeng and others to call him "Mr."

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Ship administration is a great cause of the whole country. I'm afraid we have to plan to operate for ten years for this, so it's a long-term thing. There are two other things that have a greater impact. We have to do them now, so it's urgent!"

"Oh?" Niu Yugeng couldn't help but be a little curious and said, "Please tell me!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "I want to start a "Political Reference", which is printed every half a month, specially for officials of the imperial court, to publish the events of various provinces in China, as well as the situation of Western countries, current political news and history, and to make a detailed report on the political, economic and military strength of various countries. This journal does not comment on current affairs. Regardless of the imperial platform, it is constantly right and wrong. All information is realistic and truth-seeking, and is only used as information for the reference of officials of various ministries.

"Oh?" Niu Yugeng was even more surprised, and Miao Tsuen Sun and Gu Jiaxiang were also very interested.

Obviously, once it is successfully launched, the role and significance of this "Political Reference" will be very huge, and the impact on the whole court will be very far-reaching.

Miao Tsuen Sun couldn't help asking, "When is the cavalry captain going to start?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "It's not too late. It's secretly prepared. When the information we have stored is enough to publish for a year, it can be officially published."

Miao Tsuensun said, "Captain might as well leave this matter to us."

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "That's what I mean. In addition, there is a third thing. In addition to the "Administrative Reference", I would also like to ask someone to compile a set of "New Editorial of Senior Government", covering science, economics, agriculture and mulberry, industry and mining, commerce, water conservancy, management and other aspects. If the "Zizheng Tongjian" is for the emperor, then this set of "Zizheng New Edition" is for all officials. Of course, this set of books is not officially published, and those who want it will take one from Jiangnan West School. Those who don't want it can't see it and don't be upset.

After listening to Hu Chuyuan's words, Miao Tsuen and Sun found that things were not urgent, but they were all very important, and one by one, and the impact was more far-reaching.

Niu Yugeng couldn't help sighing: "Although the captain is young, he has a real ability and a long-term thought, which is really not comparable to ordinary people. Niu is not talented, and he is willing to stay with the captain to make suggestions and do these things.

Miao Tsuensun and Gu Jiaxiang also said one after another, "I hope that the cavalry lieutenant can give us such an opportunity, so that we can make a plan for the society and do our best."

Hu Chuyuan is full of joy. Anyway, it is a happy thing to be able to recruit suitable and available people.

He doesn't know the actual ability of these people, but with Yan Shizhang's eyesight, they are definitely not general.

Several people sat in the pavilion and continued to talk nonsense. Each of the three things Hu Chuyuan asked them to do was not very simple. It was not enough to rely on the three of them to achieve things. They had to rely more on the strength of the whole Jiangnan National Academy and the Western Academy, and even the Engineering Museum, the Agricultural Museum and the Business School had to contribute.

Miao Tsuen Sun is famous for his erudite. He has read all the classics of history, hundreds of schools of thought, and Fang Zhi's geography. His achievements in bibliography and gold and stone science are not simple. He is good at seal engraving, calligraphy and painting. He is responsible for leading the "New Editor of Seniority".

Niu Yugeng wins with literature and has the richest official experience. He once served as the envoy of Shandong's study of politics and Shanxi, and he led the editor-in-chief of "Consultation of Political Reference". He can fully grasp the three no-principle of "not commenting on current politics, regardless of the platform of the court, and never stop right and wrong".

Gu Jiaxiang's literary calligraphy are all scholar-level achievements. Compared with Miao Tsuensun and Niu Yugeng, it is nothing. The only advantage is that he has a strong interest in Western learning and is also young, so he is temporarily responsible for setting up a job for the two.

Suddenly, there are a few really talented people around. Although it is not very useful, it can also save the urgent need for Hu Chuyuan. In the future, no matter what happens, there will be a few more people to discuss.

However, there are also bad things... The enthusiasm of these three people was so high that they couldn't wait to get the funds with Hu Chuyuan and devote themselves to their respective things.

In the first few days, they all returned to Shanghai and their hometowns, and invited their classmates and friends from the same year to contribute. After a few days, they returned to Hangzhou. They had already made some clues to each other and were eager to negotiate the details with Hu Chuyuan.

Dry!

Hu Chuyuan found that he often did some evil things, and he couldn't even accept it. He was going back to Hangzhou for a holiday and then go to Fuzhou for half a month.

That's good. His most leisurely vacation this year was so easily destroyed.

By the way, after all, they are from Jinshi, and it is true that they have talent and knowledge, but after all, their ideas should be old-fashioned. Many of the ideas of "New Editor of Senior Government" and "Consultation Reference" are completely inconsistent with Hu Chuyuan's expectations.

Hu Chuyuan had to give up his vacation and write the details with them one by one. He also had to find someone to help them sort out Western materials and various Western school translations.
