Yan Yangtian was quite decisive, his mind was also smart, and after a little pondering, he bowed down and said: "Big shopkeeper, apply for service on the ship." ”

"Serving on the ship, although the treatment is good, but the risk is not small." Yi Zhishu looked at him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to make a statement, think carefully before speaking." ”

"Don't think about it." Yan Yangtian said in a deep voice: "Since Yuan Qi needs military talents, the small one is an example. Even if he goes to Citi Country, he can be reused in Citi branches, and if he wants to climb to the position of the shopkeeper, he doesn't know how many years he will have to work, but he has a lot of opportunities to serve on the ship, and he can mix with the position of the shopkeeper in three or four years.

Seeing that his attitude was firm, Yi Zhizhi was quite appreciative, such a big event, he could make a decision quickly, and he was quite decisive, maybe he could still do something in the army, and he bowed slightly, so he advised: "This matter cannot be publicized to the outside world, especially not let the gentlemen of Yixue know that the imperial court allows merchant ships to carry firearms at sea, but there is no precedent for the merchant fleet to have warships to escort them, so we can't give people a handle." ”

"The little one understands." Yan Yangtian hurriedly bowed and said.

Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said with a smile: "In Yixue, I am the principal, you are a student, don't call the big shopkeeper in the future, call the principal." ”

Yan Yangtian didn't understand what he meant, and quickly changed his words: "Yes, the student understands." As soon as the words came out, he reacted, changed his title, and the relationship seemed to be a lot closer, and it seemed to have become a teacher-student relationship.

"Yixue will expand its enrollment recently." Yi Zhizhi said: "There will be students entering the school one after another, you pay attention, a battleship needs three hundred and five to four hundred people." ”

Hearing that there are so many people needed on a battleship, Yan Yangtian's excited face was a little red, how big a battleship does it have to be? How many positions do you have to have? He hurriedly said calmly: "The student understands. ”

"Go ahead." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile, judging from Yan Yangtian's reaction. I am afraid that most of this group of apprentices are willing to serve on the ship, and if they knew this, they should have left one or two hundred more apprentices, but it is not too late now, and now Yuan Qi dominates the whole province of Guangdong. Yuan Qi's reputation had spread throughout the surrounding provinces, and it was easy to recruit hundreds of apprentices.

Just thinking about it, Wang Liqiu called timidly at the door, "Big shopkeeper." ”

Seeing that it was him again, Yi Zhi couldn't help but smile contentedly: "What's the matter, do you still want to leave Yixue?" ”

"It's not." Wang Liqiu's face flushed, and he said: "The little one who doesn't understand the hard work of the big shopkeeper will definitely study Yi language hard in the future." ”

"Hmm." Yi Zhishu said earnestly: "Life for decades. There are countless opportunities, but there are not many opportunities that can affect a lifetime. ”

Wang Liqiu bowed and said: "The teachings of the big shopkeeper must be remembered by the small ones." Picking up, he continued: "Most of the students of Yixue today were bought by merchants from all over the world and then sent to Yixue. They don't know their situation and how long they can stay in Yixue. The younger one is the squad leader, and when he is asked, he doesn't know how to reply."

Yi Zhishu nodded, he knew that almost all the students sent from all over the country were bought by merchants from all over the world. However, he does not know the mentality of the students at school, and it seems that he will have more contact with the students in the future to understand and grasp the situation of the students in a timely manner.

I blamed myself. Only then did he speak: "Tell them, no matter who bought them before, and no matter where they came from, they entered the Yuanqi Yixue, they are Yuanqi's people, it can be said that Yuanqi bought them, but Yuanqi doesn't want them to be slaves and servants, they are all free!"

As for how long they can stay in Yixue, Yixue has a system, different ages and qualifications have different school year systems, and after graduating from Yixue, they can enter the bank, factory, and fleet under the name of Yuan Qi to earn money and live freely! ”

After a pause, he continued, "Later, I will have the school put up a notice." ”

Out of the conference room, Yi Zhishu was about to go to Vice Principal Luo, who was Yixue, but ran into Wu Changqing head-on, and couldn't help laughing: "Changqing is a rare guest, and it is rare to see you come to Yixue in my spare time." ”

"Brother Contentment, this is called a rake." Wu Changqing opened the folding fan and shook it: "As the principal, you can hardly see people all year round, and you are a rare guest." Saying that, he smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Don't fight, Olifin has returned to Guangzhou, brought a batch of steam engine silk reeling machines, and a group of technicians, and now they are in my house." ”

"This is the best news of the year." Yi Zhixiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, go and meet him." ”

The two of them got out of Yixue without a little bit, got on the boat, and Yi Zhizhi said: "The war is about to start, the military training of Yixue can not be delayed any longer, and the junior and senior high schools must be separated as soon as possible, otherwise, there are too many Mr. Yixue to carry out military training." ”

"Knowing that Brother Contentment is anxious, he has repeatedly urged him to send more people." Wu Changqing shook the folding fan and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, it will be completed in four months." ”

It will be four months, Yi Zhishu took out a cigar, cut it slowly, and then struck a match and lit it, and took a slow breath, in another four months, it will be October, and this year is almost over again, seeing that he was silent, Wu Changqing said tentatively: "Brother Contentment is so anxious, is it expected that the war will break out soon?" ”

"It's hard to say." Yi Zhishu slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke and said, "The British are crows." The profits in the film trade are too great, once the smoking ban is enforced, they will inevitably be unable to bear it, and the imperial court is now launching a large-scale anti-smoking discussion, once the thinking is unified, it is likely that strict measures will be taken next year, and time is running out. ”

Listening to the tone of this, a war will break out in two or three years? Wu Changqing glanced at him suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Time is so urgent, is Brother Contentment sure that Henan Xiguan will not be lost?" ”

"At this point, Changqing can rest assured." Yi Zhizhi said in a firm tone: "I will personally grasp the military training, and I can't make a mistake, unless the British come to attack, they won't be able to please in Guangzhou." ”

Wu Changqing said worriedly: "Since the war started, do you know that England will not come to invade the country?" ”

"Don't worry." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "England still has a sworn enemy in Europe - France, he doesn't dare to invest all his troops in the Qing Dynasty, besides, England to Guangzhou, 40,000 miles away, the country is attacking, and the logistics and supplies can't keep up, they don't have the guts, and they can't do it for the sake of crows." The film trade gambled on the fortunes of the country and fought for the country. ”

Wu Changqing said with a puzzled face: "If you don't come to attack the country, how can you be the opponent of our Qing Dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly and said: "The Qing Dynasty is now the twilight of the Western Mountain, and the Eight Banners Green Camp is no longer as brave as it used to be, Changqing don't overestimate them, and don't expect too much from them." (To be continued.) )
