Respectfully

The fifth year of the Republic of China, November 1913, 11 in the Gregorian calendar

It snowed heavily overnight, Li Jinyan opened the window and saw a world covered in ice and snow.

"not cold?"

A big hand crossed his shoulder and closed the window. He turned his head, and the first thing he saw was a golden collar badge.Young Marshal Lou has just been promoted to lieutenant general, and he has another general star on his shoulders.

"It's not cold." Li Jinyan shook his head, and leaned back naturally, "Young commander, let me lean in for a while." Liao Qiting sent a telegram saying that Song Wu accepted the proposal to buy the land, but declined to jointly build factories with the six northern provinces .Li Jinyan had expected this outcome, but Liao Qiting sent back another message that made him worry. He said in the telegram that the Shanghai International Settlement has not been peaceful for half a month, and the Japanese made troubles every now and then. We can only wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision.

It was Japanese again, Li Jinyan gritted his teeth.After receiving the telegram from Liao Qiting, he didn't sleep well for two nights in a row. He must be born to be at odds with these Japanese bastards!

Lou Xiao quietly looked at Li Jinyan for a while, then suddenly picked him up.

"Young commander?"

"You need to rest." Young Marshal Lou walked to the bed, put Li Jinyan down, "sleep."

Li Jinyan wanted to say that he just woke up and couldn't fall asleep, but a big hand covered his eyes, "Close your eyes."

Well, Li Sanshao was helpless, there was no reason to talk to the tiger, so he had to obediently close his eyes, thinking about getting up after Young Master Lou left.

If he didn't go to Chengnan, he wouldn't be able to relax.

Two small industrial areas were built outside the city. Some factory owners saw the advantages of opening factories in the industrial areas, and all wanted to build factories in the industrial areas.There were too many people, and the originally demarcated area was not enough. Li Jinyan simply called Meng Tao back from Benxi. The overall planning of the heavy industrial zone in Benxi, Anshan was completed, and construction was just waiting for the next year.Meng Bo stayed there to supervise the further improvement of the project, and Meng Tao just came back to help.

With previous experience, Meng Tao can take charge of this project by himself, and arrange a few assistants for him, there shouldn't be too many problems.

The industrial zone is well planned, and several main roads will be widened again. Maybe you can suggest to Young Marshal Lou to build a few more roads.

In addition, what Li Jinyan considers is that the army in the future will definitely develop in the direction of mechanization and collectivization. If the roads are not smooth, the inconvenient transportation will be very detrimental to the army's motorization and logistics transportation.

Defeating the Russians in Manchuria and taking back the South Manchuria Railway and Fengcheng from the Japanese all relied on the convenience of railway transportation.If there is no railway that can quickly transport troops on a large scale and guarantee logistics, how to transport heavy artillery to the front line is a problem.

Tsarist Russia in World War I suffered from poor domestic transportation and poor mobility of the army.It claims to be able to mobilize an army of 600 million, but in fact only more than 100 million people can be sent to the front line in the first time.

The cars in the army are purely for appearance, and the only three radio stations are clear codes. The German army can easily intercept their telegrams, know their next battle plan and the direction of the army's movement, and set up defenses or ambush one step ahead.No wonder such a battle can be won.Even if there were many wise and wise commanders in the tsarist army, there was no way to make a comeback in this situation.

Of course, Rasputin also contributed to the poor performance of the Tsarist army in World War I.When the Tsar was on the front line, he would often receive his inexplicable "oracles", which disrupted the entire army's combat plan.Later, Nicholas II himself said: "I feel like I am wearing a pair of invisible pants."

This shows how much Rasputin's "contribution" was on the Eastern Front in World War I.Young Marshal Lou said that they had nails buried around the Tsar. If they could use this nail reasonably, they might be able to achieve unexpected results.

Thinking of this, Li Jinyan pursed his lips and held Lou Xiao's wrist.

"Young commander, I really can't sleep. If you are not in a hurry to go out, let's talk."

Lou Xiao didn't make a sound, but moved his hand away from Li Jinyan's eyes, and then sat on the edge of the bed, Li Jinyan simply lay down on his lap automatically.With such long legs, no wonder he is so tall.He was convinced that he was working very hard to grow taller, but standing in front of Young Marshal Lou... It really shouldn't be compared to Mount Everest.

"say what?"

Slender fingers brushed the hair on Li Jinyan's forehead, but Li Jinyan grabbed his hand and rubbed the calluses on his fingertips.

"The radio thing."

"kindness."

"Mr. Zou's research has made some progress, and I want to increase investment."

"kindness."

"Qiao Leshan told me that if the idea of ​​cultivating a large number of penicillin strains cannot be realized, it will be difficult to increase the production of penicillin. Even supplying our own army will be a problem. However, the research on sulfonamide has achieved further results, and the ointment for external use has begun clinical use. Experiment. Ding Zhao..."

"kindness?"

"Ding Zhao is studying tear gas."

"Tear gas?"

"Things that make people cry." Li Jinyan put his hand on Lou Xiao's.

"kindness."

Lou Xiao didn't take back his hand, and didn't interrupt, but just listened to Li Jinyan's words carefully.

"Young commander," Li Jinyan paused, before continuing, "Actually, I thought about asking Ding Zhao to study the poisonous gas used to kill people."

"kindness."

"You don't ask why?"

"No." Young Marshal Lou looked down at Li Jinyan, his black eyes reflected his face, "I hope you will be honest with me, but I don't ask you to tell everything."

"..."

"Besides, he will do it if you don't say it."

"why?"

"Remember the two bottles of medicine he gave you?"

"Ah, remember."

"In Germany, he almost got kicked out of school because of it."

"..."

Next, Li Jinyan said all the things he had been thinking recently. He didn't understand why he had such an impulse, but after he finished speaking, he did feel much more relaxed.At first, Young Marshal Lou just listened, but later he would veto or affirm some of his ideas. When Li Jinyan mentioned the two plane bombing experiments before, Young Marshal Lou stopped talking.

"I discussed with the people in the aircraft factory, and I should focus on the research of the trigger device first. In addition, I can try to install machine guns on the aircraft."

The aircraft produced by the aircraft factory can currently only hang two to three five-pound bombs, which are not very powerful, and the way the pilot uses when dropping the bomb is really... Such a flight action is likely to bring danger to the pilot himself .

For China now, every pilot is precious, and Li Jinyan doesn't want to take this risk.

"machine gun?"

"I'm just thinking about it. As for how to do it, the technicians in the aircraft factory have to study it."

During the First World War, the Germans captured the French ace pilot Roland Garros, and inspired by his aircraft, they developed the interrupter, which allowed them to take advantage of the aircraft of Britain, France and other countries, and occupied the sky for a certain period of time.

A large number of ace pilots emerged in the German army, and their records were far higher than those of Britain, France and other countries. The most famous one was the Red Baron Richthofen, who shot down [-] Allied fighter planes by himself.Such a record was almost unsurpassed at the time.

The Allied boys adored him, they wanted to fly planes like the Red Baron and fight the enemy, and the Allied boys adored him, they dreamed they could fly warplanes and fight the Red Baron in the sky.

The German aristocrat, who died young, was admired by both his colleagues and his enemies as the undisputed hero of the air.

When Li Jinyan saw the plane developed by his own people fly into the blue sky for the first time, he wondered whether China could also have a goshawk like Richthofen, the overlord of the sky?

Surely there will be!

Chinese soldiers will let the world see their strength, and the ugly scene at the Paris Peace Conference will never happen again!

On November [-], the Congress of the Chinese Democratic Republic passed a bill on fiscal, taxation and education reforms, which will be implemented immediately after being signed by the president.

The proposal mainly includes the following aspects:

Officially determine the main domestic taxes in the form of legislation, and completely abolish the lijin; reduce or exempt agricultural taxes, encourage the establishment of industries, and the government give certain preferential measures to national capital; formulate the Enterprise Law, stipulate the rights and obligations of workers and business owners, and stipulate the rights and interests of workers. The minimum wage standard stipulates that workers should not work more than fifty hours a week.

The Ministry of Education's proposal to establish elementary schools and elementary schools across the country was partially passed, while the National Bank's proposal to issue banknotes was temporarily shelved.Also temporarily put on hold is the proposal to build railways across the country. It's not that the government doesn't pay attention to railways, but that it involves "the whole country" at once, and it is impossible to pass it immediately.

Minister of Education Tao Deyou argued in front of members of Congress. He believed that it is necessary to establish elementary schools and elementary schools nationwide in China, and it should be implemented as soon as possible.

"Education is the foundation of the country, and talents are the foundation of the country's prosperity. If you want to revitalize the nation, you must pay attention to education."

At the same time, he suggested that the school construction model can refer to the six northern provinces.

"I don't know if you have ever been to the six northern provinces, Guanbei City. Tao suggested that you should visit there to know why Tao did this."

In the end, lawmakers in the House and Senate stood by their previous decisions.Some of them also know about the rapid development of the six northern provinces in the past two years, and the establishment of elementary schools and elementary schools in the six provinces.All school-age children in the province must go to school, and even if they cannot attend classes full-time, they must ensure that they can read and write in school three days a week.Not only tuition fees are free, outstanding students can also get scholarships.

The six northern provinces can implement this measure because they have money.In addition to the funds allocated by the six provincial governments, businessmen, big households, landlords, and squires in the province donated generously.Donations vary, more or less, but do not require the government to send people to lobby, and are all voluntary.

This model is indeed good, but it is difficult to emulate.

Although the coalition government's finances are not difficult, it is hard to say that it is abundant.The boxer indemnity returned by the United States is mainly used to send overseas students, while France is used to set up colleges and universities. Although Britain, Germany and other countries intend to make a move, they have not yet acted concretely.Customs revenues are mostly used for government administration and financial reforms, and there is really no way to squeeze out extra money to set up schools across the country, let alone free of charge.

Education is indeed important, but at this stage, most government officials and members of Congress are mainly concerned about how to feed the domestic people.Agriculture and industry in the six northern provinces are thriving, so they naturally have spare capacity to develop education and other undertakings, but other provinces are different.

It cannot simply be said that these government officials are short-sighted, let alone that they are vegetarians.Perhaps it is precisely because they want to serve the country and the people that they vetoed most of Tao Deyou's proposals.

After careful discussion, most of the Members' opinions are that schools should indeed be established, but they are not many.It can be trial-built in economically prosperous provinces, such as the six southern provinces, and then gradually promoted to the whole country.

"The world can't be done overnight." The Speaker of the House of Representatives Zhang Zhang and Tao Deyou have been friends for many years, but he voted against Tao Deyou's proposal, "I hope Deyou understands."

So far, Tao Deyou could only nod.

Bai Baoqi is not surprised that the proposal to issue banknotes has been shelved. In fact, he himself does not think that this is a good opportunity to issue banknotes.But I still have to mention it, at least instill this concept in everyone, and it will happen when the time is right.

Every time President Lou signed a document, Marshal Lou in Guanbei City would get the news.Li Jinyan could also see a general idea when he was arranging documents in his study.

When he saw Minister of Education Tao Deyou's speech in Congress, he couldn't help shaking his head, free of charge?No wonder it failed.

Although the elementary school and elementary school tuition fees in the six northern provinces are all free, they are only "tuition fees".Book fees and miscellaneous fees are still charged.

In addition to tuition fees, the school also provides free breakfast and lunch for students, as well as a break meal, two biscuits or bread, and a cup of fried noodles or goat's milk.When it comes to goat milk, Li Jinyan is also quite depressed. There is no cow, so he can only use goat milk instead. Fortunately, almonds or tea can remove the smell.

It doesn't make much money to provide these ingredients to schools at cost prices, but it advertises for farms and food factories in disguise.Many children will talk to their families about what they ate at school when they return home. Those who have spare time at home will go to the shops in the city to find fried noodles, biscuits, and bread in their mouths.

Many farmers and food factory owners hope to establish a cooperative relationship with the school after learning about it.

Anyone who signed a long-term supply agreement with the school, Li Jinyan would publish it in the newspaper and record it in the school at the same time.On the one hand, this is an advertisement for these people in disguise, and on the other hand, it is also urging them to ensure the quality of the ingredients.And add or delete a supplier or two from time to time to enrich the recipes of the children in the school.

Over time, some factories have also begun to follow the example of the school.On the contrary, many food factories were born, making the food types in Guanbei City more and more abundant.

Ren Wuchu is now concurrently serving as the general office of the official bank and the director of the finance bureau of the six northern provinces. He suggested that a special area be designated for the construction of large shops.It can be funded by the government or raised from the private sector.Whether it is self-management or external sale of leased shops, it will be a pretty good deal.

Li Jinyan couldn't help but be speechless when he heard about it. Isn't this similar to the large shopping malls and supermarkets in later generations?

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, the elite is the elite.What later generations have more than them is only decades of historical knowledge.If you really think that you will be able to lose your domineering aura once you travel through it, and don't pay attention to these "old antiques", you may be kidnapped by these "old antiques" in a few moments.

Ginger is still old and hot, this is absolutely true.
