Xia Nan shook his head: "Mr. Sun's words are wrong. Although the money I invested at the moment is not effective, when these people are successful in their studies, whether they enter the factory or enter the research institute, even if my talent pool is established, it is very cost-effective in the long run. ”

"Talent pool?" Sun Yuanhua said with a smile, "General Xia Shen's new words are endless, and the old man has gained a lot of knowledge. ”

Wang Zheng nodded: "If you don't do this, how can you attract people to the school?" Those who are wealthy have gone to participate in the scientific examination, and the poor family has no money to hire a husband, and the things taught here are not used in the scientific examination, so they can only pay money and food to recruit enough students. ”

Sun Yuanhua asked: "Liangfu, how is it, what do you feel after reading this school?" ”

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Xia Shen will have good intentions and set up such a school, and the children here will be the seeds of spreading Western learning in the future, and I am very happy." There are enough scholars in the Ming Dynasty to learn the sage book, and there is a shortage of talents who can be used in the world, as long as Xia Shen will not dislike it, Liangfu will spend the second half of his life in this school. ”

Xia Nan was very happy: "In this case, I also asked Principal Wang to name the school." Previously, the establishment of the school was quite hasty, and there was no proper name. ”

Wang Zheng excused himself and said: "The school was founded by General Xia Shen, and it should be named by you." ”

Seeing this, Xia Nan was not hypocritical, thought about it, and said: "I can't think of any elegant names, this school recruits children from poor families, authentic grassroots, and Western studies that scholars can't look down on, how about calling it Baicao Garden?" ”

"Herb Garden?" Wang Zheng tasted it and agreed: "It's also appropriate, just call it this name." ”

Xia Nan smiled and glanced at Lin Weiye, a name that only Lin Weiye, who is also a traverser, can understand. Mr. Lu Xun in the old time and space has an article "From Baicao Garden To", Baicao Garden is a deserted garden, a paradise for children to play in their hearts, and it is the representative of the old-style private school.

Zhou Guoxin, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, came to Lingao with a task, and the first thing was to touch the bottom of the Qiongzhou camp.

Although the Qiongzhou battalion had been appeased, and Lingao was not considered an enemy-occupied area, there was no danger in theory, but he had witnessed the arrogant act of the other side in bombarding Guangzhou City, and heard about their unscrupulousness in the Lingao area, Zhou Guoxin did not dare to be careless, and all his actions were cautious. The Qiongzhou battalion dared to kill the gentry, although they might not dare to poison the Jinyi guards after being appeased, but they were anxious, and God knows what crazy things they would do.

After preliminary investigation, Zhou Guoxin knew that the base camp of the Qiongzhou camp was in Lingao, and its most important places were the barracks and textile factories near Ma Yuan Village, plus the wineries, arsenals, steel factories and shipyards near the Bofu Wharf along the Wenlan River. He scattered all his manpower, sent people from various factories, and also sent people to keep an eye on Xia Nan's whereabouts, and he took two henchmen and went straight to the core of the Qiongzhou camp - the Ma Yuan barracks.

After several expansions, the Mayuan Barracks is now a behemoth covering an area of nearly 100 acres, which is larger than any factory under the Qiongzhou Battalion. Zhou Guoxin came to the outside of the barracks, and everywhere he saw was a tall wall made of red bricks, and the only entrance was the gate, where soldiers stood guard and were heavily guarded.

One of his subordinates said: "Lord Baihu, this barracks is more tightly guarded than the barracks of the superintendent and the town standard, and it seems that it is not easy to enter......

Zhou Guoxin touched his chin and frowned: "It's really a little troublesome...... If it weren't for the secret investigation from above, you could have shown your waist card and swaggered in......"

He looked left and right, and couldn't find a flaw, so he instructed another subordinate: "Go to the gate and try, just say that there are relatives in the army, want to go in and find someone, see if you can enter the barracks......" As he spoke, he took out a few ingots of broken silver and handed them to him, "They all said that money can make ghosts grind, and it is difficult to try the little ghost at the door." ”

The subordinate understood, took the broken silver and stuffed it into his arms, and walked to the door.

This person came to the door, put on a flattering face, nodded and said to the soldier standing guard: "Master Jun, the younger one is a local from Lingao, and he has relatives who are soldiers in the Qiongzhou camp, and he wants to find him in an urgent matter at home, can you be accommodating and let the little one in?" ”

The soldier, who was originally a simple tenant, understood this difficulty, and asked kindly: "Okay, I'll help you get him out." What is the name of your relative, soldier or officer, what rank, how many battalions and companies? ”

The man was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Military rank? Battalion, company? "Why haven't you heard of these famous halls, he has been in Jinyiwei for many years, and he has never heard that the army of the Ming Dynasty has a military rank, as for the battalion and company, what the hell? Is this still the ranks of the Ming army?

He made up his mind, took out an ingot of broken silver, and stuffed it into the soldier's arms: "Master Jun, where do the countrymen know this, or are you accommodating?" ”

Seeing his behavior, the soldier became a little vigilant, did not take the silver, but took a small step back, clenched the Qionghai-style rifle in his hand, and asked: "Why, you don't know the rank and structure of your relatives?" ”

Since the Qiongzhou battalion announced the new military rank and position system, both officers and soldiers have successively sent the good news back to their families to report the good news, and many people have also taken part of the military salary and brought it home like Su Thick Legs. After fighting a few battles in the Qiongzhou battalion, in terms of meritorious deeds, the original veterans, whether they were native soldiers, tenants, or guards surrendered, were also first-class soldiers at worst, and many of them became platoon commanders or even company commanders, and non-commissioned officers were all over the company, and only the soldiers from Guangdong were still low-level military ranks such as second-class soldiers and privates. But where did the surrendered troops in Guangdong come to Gao and the local relatives?

Seeing that the soldier was suspicious, this man was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "I'm helping people to talk, I don't know this, or wait for me to go back and ask clearly, come and find someone, I'm sorry to disturb ......" said while walking back. The soldier was still looking at him suspiciously.

Seeing that his subordinates were sent back in three or two clicks, Zhou Guoxin was very displeased, and when he approached, he asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

The subordinates touched the sweat on their foreheads and replied: "Lord Baihu, this Qiongzhou battalion is very strange and does not follow the military system of the Ming Dynasty. I said to find someone, and they asked me what kind of military ...... Rank, which battalion and which company, how do I know? All of a sudden, he showed his feet......"

Zhou Guoxin frowned and said, "I haven't heard of any of this...... Will he take the money? ”

"I gave it, I didn't take it, I didn't even look at it."

"It's a little tricky now......" Zhou Guoxin looked at the barracks, "If you don't go in to find out, how can you make a difference?" ”

Then he noticed that several peasants with baskets had come to the door, and after a few interrogations, the soldiers let them in, and his heart moved, and he said to himself, "There is a way." ”
