Faced with the upcoming Zhi-Anhui War, Zhong Yang was unable to intervene, so he could only bury these helplessness and sorrows in his heart. The current domestic situation is not optimistic, and even the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi is not very calm. The conflict between Lu Rongting, the Guangxi tribe and Chen Jiongming, the Guangdong tribe, has been around for a long time.

As a time traveler, Zhong Yang certainly chose a promising team to surrender. But it was not risk-free. At least, it could not let others know that he had chosen Chen Jiongming's side. If he had a rash relationship with Mo Rongxin of the Guangxi clan now, it would be really not cost-effective. At least he had to wait until Chen Jiongming was at the city before he could stand up.

After several months of operation, compared with many people in this era, Zhong Yang's strength is no longer weak. The 453 qualified soldiers with weapons are not very strong, but in the face of this era, most of the domestic teams are considered elite in terms of quality. Every day, they are trained with big fish and high-intensity physical fitness, undergo strict organizational and discipline education, and have generous welfare benefits. The village corps is no longer an ordinary militia team, but is moving towards professional soldiers.

Because it is a southern water town, the water flow resources are extremely rich. In order to meet the increasing factories and various infrastructures, Zhong Yang had to invest in the construction of a small hydropower station as the main energy supply. Although the smart factory itself has the technology to convert standard energy into electricity, this kind of thing is shameful and Zhong Yang dare not use it openly. Therefore, the construction of hydropower stations has become a must.

The hydropower station is not large in scale, and it can also help farmers irrigate farmland. Therefore, the local villagers at the site are very good at home. Moreover, if you participate in the construction, you can get a good salary, so the construction of the entire hydropower station is in progress. As long as you wait until June of the next year, the entire hydropower station will be put into use.

Zhong Yang has now opened three formal technical schools, a basic education college and an orphanage in the name of Zhou Hua and Yi Zhongming. Technical schools give priority to recruiting handicraft apprentices with certain foundations, and promise to solve employment problems. They can also participate in a certain amount of paid work during their studies. In order to avoid offending those family workshops and old craftsmen with craftsmanship, Zhong Yang also accepted Zhou Hua's suggestion that older technical workers can also be recruited and appropriate jobs can be arranged directly.

In Guangzhou, there are still many unique handicraft workers, who live in small business between large factories and enterprises. The large factories opened by Zhong Yang and others will definitely have a strong impact on these people and arouse hatred by some people. In order to avoid causing too much bad influence, Zhong Yang can only ease their relationship by accepting some of them, so as not to be used by some underground parties and cause trouble.

As for the basic education college, it is positioned as a high school structure. Yi Zhongming serves as the principal, and the specific affairs are handled by newly hired professor Wang Zhonghua. Relying on the reputation of Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang, a large number of young people of the age of surrounding counties and townships have attracted to study. The main targeted age groups are 8 to 20 years old, and the school can take care of food and accommodation at the age of 16. Such generous conditions are very attractive for many families in difficulty.

Especially the Chinese in this era, they believe that there are many children and good fortune, and they are not restrained in childbirth, so there are usually more than three children in the family. However, due to their weak financial ability, it is difficult to feed so many children in many cases. Now they know that there are schooling and schooling and food, so how can these people at the bottom of society still sit? They send their children to the schools run by Zhong Yang and others.

However, as so many students arrived, the school's faculty problem became a headache. Cynics who only know eight-legged essays were arranged to teach students to read and recognize words. The Confucian sages who were a little knowledgeable would not be able to invite Zhong Yang now. They could only invite those old scholars who set up street stalls to write letters. The professional teachers needed by technical schools and basic education colleges could not be found immediately. Fortunately, there were also a group of German technicians transported with the equipment. Zhong Yang invited a few German translators and could use them first.

Referring to the original military training in time and space, Zhong Yang made special requirements for students over 16 years old. They must participate in the quasi-military training arranged by the school and invited folk martial arts teachings so that these half-aged children can practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies and exercise their will. Zhong Yang not only needs a group of high-quality technical talents, but also a group of strong and brave Chinese people!

In this way, under the busy work and management, Zhong Yang and his group have now formed a solid-structured interest group. All members must rely on mutual cooperation to obtain benefits. An interest group organized by technology companies, chambers of commerce, large chemical enterprises, agricultural machinery processing plants, small steel mills under construction and hydropower stations was established. The interests between them are entangled, and no one can do without anyone else.

As the core of the entire interest group and the head of the underground palace organization, Zhong Yang is no longer afraid of most of the forces of this era with his armed forces. Although on the surface, he only has armed members of the 453 village corps in his hands, in fact, Zhong Yang now has an armed force with 72 general-purpose land soldiers as the main force, and can face most emergencies.

Even if Lu Rongting attacked with all his might, Zhong Yang was enough to protect himself, but the economic losses caused were something that Zhong Yang was unwilling to bear. Because of this, the two sides can still be at peace. After having such a powerful private army, Zhong Yang and his group of talents finally had absolutely safe self-protection capabilities in this era. Even if the great powers did not send out large-scale army and artillery bombings, they would not be able to shake the foundation of the underground palace.

As a private underground armed force, the leader of the underground palace was Zhong Yang himself, but the number of members increased. In addition to the early Chen Ze, Liu Jinyang and Yi Zhongming, there were also Gu Yuejun, Zhou Hua, Xu Yongsheng and others. The main purpose of the underground palace was to use force as the final barrier to protect the absolute safety of all members in the organization. It belongs to an armed force of private nature, not a political organization.

Although Zhong Yang himself is unwilling to participate in politics, he did not prohibit others in the organization from entering politics. Liu Jinyang is an example. Under Liu Jinyang's management, the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce was an offensive business organization, but in fact it had already taken the banner of reviving China and began to secretly develop some members, intending to organize their own parties and political forces. Zhong Yang did not interfere in this matter. He neither agreed nor opposed it, but just watched from the side.

Everyone should have the power to choose their own path, and Zhong Yang has always believed that. Therefore, he gave enough respect and understanding of Liu Jinyang's current choices and practices. But in fact, Zhong Yang is not optimistic about the result of Liu Jinyang's approach. Guangdong has always been the base camp of the revolutionary party, and the local xenophobia is relatively strong. It is not easy for Liu Jinyang, a foreigner, to open up the situation here.

However, Liu Jinyang had high hopes for this matter. He even personally selected a group of young backbones from the schools he had invested in and set up his own initial straw team.

Zhong Yang stood aside, looking at the future elite carefully selected by Liu Jinyang. Seeing that Liu Jinyang had a strong desire to engage in a career, Zhong Yang also gave him a lot of support and gave him a lot of ideas. After all, if Liu Jinyang could really open up the situation, participating in politics and making decisions as a businessman would be a good choice for the underground palace organization.

After finding some taciturn and excellent children, Zhong Yang also began to plan to cultivate an intelligence organization of his own. It is really unreliable to rely solely on the Hakka gang to provide information. Just like the last time he was attacked by bandits without preparation, it is not a good thing to have no source of information.

Looking at the twenty-eight children standing in front of him with their chests and abdomen straightened, Zhong Yang was very satisfied with their performance during this period. For more than two weeks, military instructors from Germany have conducted preliminary tests and training on them and reported the results to Zhong Yang. Zhong Yang naturally accepted the praise of the German instructors. The Chinese people of this era still have passion and backbone.
