"Marshal, this time I got enough funds. I think we can prepare a five-year long-term budget and increase the investment by 5000 million every year. The first is industrial investment. We will strive to make Fengtian all in two or three years. The factories built are all in operation, and the output of steel and coal will increase significantly. The second point is to invest in agriculture, a large number of immigrants, a large number of land reclamation, and control of people and food. In fact, Japan has also been The three northeastern provinces import grain and supply it domestically, which is also our card, and we should use it, not always being blackmailed by the Japanese, but countering them.”

Zhang Tinglan very much agrees with the strategy of developing industry and agriculture together. This is like the two legs of a person. No matter which leg is weak, it will affect the rapid development of Fengjun.

Zhang Tinglan then added: "Marshal, what Mr. Min Yuan said is very reasonable. In addition, I think we should invest more in education, speed up the construction of primary and secondary schools, and build more professional technical schools to train a large number of middle and low-level technicians. Then there is us. Legislation is required to require girls to go to school, and the proportion of girls enrolled in school must be increased!"

"Humble words, let boys go to school and earn money to support their families, but let girls have a foreign surname sooner or later, many people are unwilling to spend money."

"Because of patriarchy, I propose to set up a special bill. In society, although men have a greater proportion of jobs, women are more responsible for family education. That is to say, women's cultural quality is to a large extent It determines the quality of the next generation, investing in boys is for the present, while investing in girls is for the future, and it must not be neglected.”

Chapter 375 Simplified Chinese

"Zhuoyan, I am also very supportive of large-scale education, but there is one biggest difficulty, that is, we have a serious shortage of teachers. Without enough teachers, schools cannot be built."

"Mr. Minyuan, don't say that the school is short of teachers, the factory also lacks technical personnel. This time, a lot of students came from Beijing and Tianjin, and many of them are normal students. I think they can be directly recruited into the school. Go, for other students who want to join the government and the army, we will propose a plan for them, which can appropriately lower the admission standard, but the premise is that they must teach in the school for three years. Of course, those with high grades are also encouraged to teach. This Experience can be used as a basis for their future promotion."

Hearing this, Wang Yongjiang showed a smile on his face: "This method is good. If you are good at learning, you will be an official. People in the country like to be an official, but before becoming an official, you must first become a teacher. As long as the conditions are suitable, I think it is perfect." feasible.

"Mr. Minyuan, in fact, I have also repeatedly weighed the issue of education. What kind of talents we want to cultivate. It is more important to figure out this issue, and targeted investment is more important than blind investment."

"Zhuoyan, you mentioned it several times earlier, saying that you want to develop science and engineering education, implement education for all, and cultivate practical talents. Aren't these not enough? What's the point?"

"I can't talk about the high level. I think there are many kinds of practical talents. Take technicians as an example, they are also divided into high, middle and low. Which direction we want to lean will produce very different effects. I mean we We should lean towards the middle and low end, don’t be too high-spirited, don’t pursue those flashy things, and don’t preach to those scholars that we should cultivate excellent citizens, build personality, and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Independent development. These things sound very reasonable , but that’s something rich people play, we can’t afford to struggle with this little family business, so we just solve the simplest literacy and calculation problems, so that after lowering the standard, it’s much easier to find a teacher.”

As a traveler, innovation is the most familiar word, and it is extremely sacred to say it. Zhang Tinglan also wanted to rely on his own foresight at first.Engage in some big innovations and walk ahead of the big powers all at once.However, after more than two years of thinking, Zhang Tinglan completely discarded this idea, which is not realistic at all, even if Zhang Tinglan is a professional in a certain field.I can't figure it out either.

To make a new product, there are at least two levels.One is technological innovation.One is the innovation of craftsmanship. For example, Zhang Tinglan drew the blueprint of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, but how to turn the things on the blueprint into real objects requires more effort, which involves a lot of shipbuilding technology.It involves material science and engineering integration capabilities, which is a huge system engineering.

There are countless new designs every year in the world, but less than one-thousandth of them become real objects.This is the engineering realization ability.

Even if they are academician-level experts in later generations, they are only involved in one or two fields. It is impossible to have such a versatile person, and Zhang Tinglan is even more far behind.

And even in later generations, there are very few countries that can afford technological innovation. Even the Japanese are judged as having insufficient innovation capabilities. After all, only a few countries such as the United States and Europe will be able to innovate in later generations.

At present, Fengtian's industry has just started, and many fields are still blank. It will definitely not work if you want to reach the sky in one step.Of course, this does not mean that there is no way out. On the contrary, Zhang Tinglan has found a shortcut, that is, imitation and imitation. When new things appear in the great powers, it is enough for the Fengjun to imitate them.

If you do more, you will naturally master a lot of technology. At this time, you will have new ideas, and slowly make some changes that suit your needs. Gradually accumulate, and a basic scientific research ability will be formed. .

Then you can carry out tracking research and catch up with the world's advanced technology. In this respect, Zhang Tinglan's forward vision can play a big role. You can know the direction of tracking, avoid unnecessary waste, and improve the speed of catching up a lot. This road is also the road for China to catch up with the great powers in later generations. Although there are many problems, it is basically certain that it is a successful road.

In this way, China's technological level is certainly behind the world, but it will not be too far behind Japan. After all, Japan is also at the bottom of the great powers, and China still has a huge size advantage. It can rely on resources and manpower to fight the Japanese to death.This kind of fighting is not a tragic one inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, but a model in which the torrent of red steel submerges the Third Reich. This is also the most realistic and economical way.

After determining the overall way of catching up, it is implemented in the field of education. What needs to be trained is a large number of low- and middle-level skilled workers. In the field of basic education, primary schools only need to solve the problems of literacy and arithmetic. After middle school, they can be exposed to physical and chemical science knowledge.If the grades are good, they can enter the university for further studies, and even study abroad. These people will become the top talents and serve as the leading force.

As for the vast majority of others, after a certain amount of skill training, they can become qualified middle and low-level skilled workers. Relying on their accumulation of operations and the leadership of a few outstanding talents, Fengjun may not be unable to make some suitable for himself. products, at that time, there is no need to worry about the Japanese.

"What about new culture, new ideas, let those university professors who have spare time solve it, let's solve the problem of survival honestly, I think it is almost possible to promote simplified characters, after all, after the fonts are simplified, learning to recognize them will become easier There are many people who can read and write, and the base number has increased, so there will be more talents who may emerge!"

There is also a dispute between traditional and simplified characters in later generations, but if you look back at Chinese history, you will find that Chinese characters have been simplified. From the big seal script to the small seal script, and to the later Kai script, the Chinese characters have been continuously simplified. Starting from the Han and Tang Dynasties, There are two kinds of fonts coexisting in Chinese society, one is regular characters and the other is vulgar characters, which is the so-called simplified characters.

Orthodox characters are used in official official documents and inscriptions. Vulgar characters are mainly used by ordinary people. Accepted, if this trend is followed, simplified characters may appear hundreds of years earlier.

As a result, after the Manchu Qing invaded the Central Plains, they showed an unprecedented attitude towards culture. Emperor Qianlong personally ordered that the use of vulgar characters was banned in the imperial examinations, and all complex traditional characters were used instead. With a great cultural severance, the cultural connection between the upper-class scholars and the lower-level traffickers was severed, and those intellectuals could only bury their heads in the pile of old papers.

The restoration of traditional Chinese characters is essentially no different from that of Manchu Qing Dynasty who shaved their hair and made clothes easy. They are all promoting enslaving education, taming intellectuals, better separating social classes, and controlling ordinary people.

This policy of fooling the people has been implemented for hundreds of years. In later generations, there are still a group of self-proclaimed scholars calling out the souls of traditional characters. They shamelessly say that traditional characters represent cultural inheritance. If they really represent culture, they are also slaves. Clear poison.

And in the final analysis, characters are not culture, but the carrier of culture. What China has inherited for thousands of years is not the writing of a few characters, but the inheritance of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, gentleness, courtesy, thrift, and the inheritance of a gentleman like jade, an industrious and simple nation. Character, this is the core of the entire culture.

The core is still there, Chinese culture is there, the rest of the text, clothes, etc. are appearances. It is worth making a fuss about why Chinese people in later generations care so much about it. In the final analysis, it is still a manifestation of lack of self-confidence.

"Humble words, it is definitely not easy to implement simplified characters." Wang Yongjiang said: "Simplified characters are used in the army, and many people have come to me and asked if Fengjun also intends to completely push them away. Most people are against it, but The reason is also very simple, after a little simplification of the font, there will be more people who can read and write, and it will be a huge shock to those who now monopolize knowledge, so they make up all kinds of reasons to stop it."

"Don't worry about this." Zhang Zuolin suddenly said from the side: "It's just a matter of daring to do something. The salt merchants have been passed down for hundreds of years, and the relationship is intertwined. Compared with it, the resistance is huge. But we took down the Fan family and received How much backlash? On the contrary, there will be new businessmen filling in immediately. We hold guns in our hands and pockets in our waists. If we want to do things, we can make bold moves without fear at all.”

"The commander-in-chief is right. I recently asked someone to sort out the first batch of 160 simplified characters commonly used in society. I am going to announce it officially. I also stipulate that government documents in the three eastern provinces must use these characters, and then the army, schools, and factories must also use them. Use these words."

"After the first batch of simplified characters is implemented, we will collect opinions from all parties and launch the second batch. The simplified characters are for easy writing and recognition. If you can take into account the aesthetics and pay attention to the connotation of the fonts, the effect will be better."

Wang Yongjiang is not only a good hand in civil affairs, he is also quite courageous. Since he has this idea, Wang Yongjiang will not back down.Zhang Tinglan on the side also agreed very much: "Mr. Min Yuan, the army has not moved, and public opinion is ahead. It is a big thing to fully push simplified characters. I plan to set up a special column in the newspaper to teach the development of Chinese characters, traditional characters and traditional Chinese characters. The origin of the simplified Chinese characters, and the various measures of the Qing Dynasty to fool the people, make these things public, and let the common people in the world judge, I believe that people with insight will recognize this issue.”

Chapter 376

The matter of education was almost finished, Zhang Tinglan said again: "Commander, the issue of Japanese espionage must be paid more attention to. The little devils have been operating for many years, and they are pervasive. This time they are planning to use the Fan family's property as a cover to spy on the three eastern provinces." In this situation, we must be more vigilant and deal with it well!"

The Japanese have spared no effort to plant spies in China, and they have reached the point of insanity. They came to China with various identities, including ronin, scholars, businessmen, and journalists. In short, all Japanese may be professional spies. Except for professional spies, almost all other Japanese are part-time spies.

Under the control of militarism, the Japanese are obliged to contribute to their empire, and it is also their duty to spy on other countries' intelligence.But now more and more Chinese scum have also been received by the Japanese. Japan is already full of hostility to the Fengjun, and the espionage operations are bound to increase explosively. Maybe there will be a large number of intelligence personnel at this time. military intelligence.

"Marshal, the intelligence work should indeed be strengthened. I have someone I want to recommend to the Marshal. If this person is allowed to manage the intelligence work, he will definitely be competent."

"Min Yuan, I've been looking for suitable candidates. Which great talent have you found, why not tell me!"

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief of this man must have heard of it. It is Chang Yinhuai. The Chang family is also a big family in Heilongjiang. His eldest brother Chang Yinting and Wu Junsheng are sworn brothers. He served as the military law division of the first division of Heilongjiang. Chang Yinhuai's performance is outstanding and should be promoted by everyone."

Wang Yongjiang recommended Chang Yinhuai.Zhang Tinglan also nodded secretly, Yang Yuting showed his face early, and it won't be too late for this troubled brother, Chang Yinhuai. Speaking of which, the two were shot to death by Zhang Xueliang, so they became famous all over the world.

But to be honest, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai are both talents and have the spirit of hard work. Compared with those old people in the Feng family, they are really much better.But these two people also had their own ambitions. Zhang Xueliang finally shot them, and a very important reason was that Zhang Xiaoliuzi didn't have enough means and prestige.The ambitions of these two people could not be restrained, and the two also forgot their duties, and finally fell out completely.

But from the heart, using Chang Yinhuai is also a good choice, when Feng Jun first formed an intelligence agency.Zhang Tinglan has participated in it, and has already laid out the chess pieces.Now Chang Yin Huai takes over.Zhang Tinglan also has enough control over him, not afraid that he will turn upside down.

"Since Minyuan recommended it, it's not bad. Let Chang Yinhuai go to Fengtian in two days. I'll take a look at it myself. If it's suitable, I'll be promoted immediately!"

They had chatted for more than half an hour, and the banquet was almost ready, Lao Zhang, Wang Yongjiang, and Zhang Tinglan hurried out of the study.

"Duke Zhou, you've neglected me. Please make amends!"

"Where is Yu Shuai, you are talking about military and national affairs, and business affairs should come first. Since we are our own people, we don't need to care about these trivial matters. We know it well."

Of course Zhou Xuexi knew it in his heart. As soon as Zhang Tinglan came back, Lao Zhang took him to the study. After such a long secret talk, he must have talked about important things. Now it seems that Zhang Tinglan's position in Fengjun is indeed very special. Unlike ordinary young people, the Zhou family is extremely lucky to have such a son-in-law.

The banquet was quickly set up, all of which were the most precious specialties in the three eastern provinces, including bear paws, monkey heads, flying dragons, etc., and all of them were made by famous chefs. Zhou Xuexi and the others also felt Lao Zhang's enthusiasm. Xun, the food is over, Lao Zhang smiled and said to Zhou Xuexi and Zhou Xueyuan: "I have someone check the almanac, July [-] is a good day, how about we set the wedding on this day?"

"Yu Shuai, there are only a few days left, are you a little anxious?" Zhou Xueyuan said with a little bit of embarrassment: "Marriage is an important matter, you must always prepare well, and don't make any omissions!"

"Old man, you don't have to worry about it. I think the sooner you do it, the better!" Zhou Xuexi said with a smile, "Don't be reluctant to part with your daughter, marry a daughter one day earlier, and have half a son a day earlier. Zhuoyan is not like ordinary young people, busy with affairs, After finally having time, let’s hurry up and do big things, don’t stick to those common etiquettes.”

Zhang Zuolin also said with a smile: "Old relatives, I actually prepared the wedding at the beginning of the year. I thought it would be in April and May, but it turned out that something happened on the Middle East Road, and then it was delayed after Zhang Xun's restoration. In a month or two, it will be the autumn harvest time, and the three provinces in the Northeast will be busy. Now this time is just right, and the wedding is going to be bustling. To tell you the truth, my old Zhang is going to embrace his grandson , I want to embrace my grandson in the new year!"

When Lao Zhang said this, Zhou Xueyuan couldn't object. He was a little bit reluctant to give up his daughter, but he also knew that what Lao Zhang said was reasonable, and the girl was not young, so he couldn't delay any longer, so he nodded in agreement.

After the two parties agreed, there was no need for Zhang Tinglan to speak. Then Lao Zhang grandly established the "Marriage Preparatory Committee" and served as the "Chairman". , Yang Yuting led, and people from all walks of life in Fengtian government and business also participated.

I don’t know if I don’t do it, but once it’s done, Zhang Tinglan’s strong contacts accumulated over the past two years will be revealed. Liu Shucheng, Qiao Ruixuan, Song Zhongyi, Fan Xudong and other business experts will not be left behind. Jiang Dengxuan, Li Jinglin, Guo Songling, etc. Teachers and students in the classroom should also participate.

In addition, Lao Zhang's old brothers, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Jinghui, Sun Liechen, Tang Yulin, Zhang Haipeng, Ji Jinchun, and Kan Chaoxi were all dispatched.Zhang Zuoxiang also set off from Jilin and rushed to Fengtian, and Jilin Governor Guo Zongxi and others also came.When the frontier guards of the three eastern provinces heard that their chief was going to hold a wedding, they couldn't miss it. Sun Anhu, Qin Wei and others, as representatives, also wanted to attend.

The rest of the little brothers Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueming, Wu Kaijie and so on must not let go of this big excitement.In addition, Kuang Rongguang, Kuang Jingyang, Zhan Tianyou and others also joined in the fun and sent a pair of gifts.
