Chapter 230 150,000 adopted sons
The war became beyond recognition from the original plan because Wang Xuejun rescued the children from Henan.
At the same time, the Xinming fleet evacuated and lost cooperation. Seeing that Wang Xuejun had broken through, Xu Jie also withdrew to Shandong to strengthen Shandong's defense.
In this way, Ajige was ordered by Dorgon to go south to reinforce Henan.
In this way, the enemy opposite Yifeng had 50,000 real Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
This force is unshakable by Wang Xuejun's current military strength.
Therefore, Wang Xuejun changed at any time and decided to regain Henan to the end.
The entire army retreated to Dekao City and confronted the Qing Dynasty.
But this battle is not without gains.
First, he occupied Zhenjiang and removed the dagger that was on the throat of Yangzhou's patriarch. It made Zhenjiang a sister city in Yangzhou, supporting each other.
The accompanying capital Yangzhou is safe.
Then it regained Guide Mansion.
Although Guide has been almost emptied now, there are enemy troops facing each other and cannot be truly developed.
But as long as there is land, the seeds will sooner or later be sown. Will the harvest be far away?
And the biggest gain is population and materials.
Xu Jie emptied Daming Prefecture and its surrounding three counties. There was almost washed there, and even the rats were forced to move to Shandong and went to Shandong to become a rat.
Wang Xuejun evacuated Changhuan again, leaving no thatch for the Qing Dynasty.
The Yifeng was emptied, making the Yifeng a piece of white and clean.
The population, the largest resource of the war, has now made Shandong no longer have no chickens crowing for a hundred miles, but it seems that the population is a bit overpopular. There is no way, Wang Xuejun can only continue to sell his treasures, purchase machinery and equipment in Europe, expand existing production capacity, and build new factories to accommodate excess labor.
This has driven Xinming's industrial development, allowing Xinming's industry, commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry to go hand in hand, and allowed tax revenue to continue.
In total, the princess finally announced that whoever said that money was burning in war was not counted as the population of Xinming, but the materials alone made up for the war expenses and surplus.
The battle is fundamentally here, not only supporting oneself, but also completely emptied Henan.
Now, with the joint efforts of both sides, Henan has no longer heard the cry of children and has no future for development. Except for a few big cities, there are almost no people in rural and towns.
When it comes to children, Wang Xuejun has to look at the children he rescued.
Zhuang Baifeng was appointed as General Guide to stabilize the local area.
Then, Li Yan was left to lead Shandong, and he was known as the Governor of Luyu.
I went to Cao County first to see the rescued children.
The facilities of the children's camp in Cao County are constantly being improved and the scale is quite huge. It has almost become a medium-sized city.
As soon as Wang Xuejun and the princess entered the camp, 150,000 rescued children knelt down together and shouted: "Godfather, godmother--"
The momentum was really spectacular.
The ancients liked to accept adopted sons. When Mao Wenlong accepted three hundred adopted sons and one thousand edicts, he became the backbone of Dongjiang Town.
Wei Zhongxian accepted three thousand adopted sons and sons, which was unprecedented.
But Wang Xuejun immediately accepted 150,000 adopted sons and daughters. It cannot be said that he was unprecedented, but he was definitely unprecedented.
But Mao Wenlong's adopted son, the master of Dongjiang Town, and Wei Zhongxian's adopted son, was his hardcore thug.
The 150,000 that Wang Xuejun collected was just the 150,000 he had eaten.
There is no way, if someone calls you a godfather, you have to support him.
So, I urgently transferred cloth from my own textile factory in Yangzhou, cotton from Songjiang, and sewed a set of cotton coats for each child first.
Buy a large amount of coke from Zaozhuang to keep the children warm.
In this winter, people will be frozen to death without cotton coats.
Purchasing a large amount of food from Huaiyang cannot make the children starve, as this is the time to grow up.
There is also the issue of education.
A large number of teachers are invited to teach them regardless of gender.
But Wang Xuejun did not want to teach these children to be a bunch of bookworms who only know how to distinguish between eight-legged essays and grass seedlings. Instead, he personally compiled textbooks according to his memories of later generations.
Divided into Chinese mathematics, simple physics, and English? Forget it, Wang Xuejun is still preparing to make Europeans proud of learning Chinese.
How do you sing that song? Do people in the world speak Chinese?
Integrating into the world is necessary, but it must be a world centered on me. Otherwise, what should I do?
Such teaching has become unfair in this era.
But if you are happy, you can't have a temper. My child, I will teach you whatever I want. It's all your business.
What makes Wang Xuejun even more incredible is that he also opened a technical school.
The chef was invited to teach the children to cook, the tailor was invited to teach the girls to sew clothes, and the old farmer was invited to teach the children to farm.
There are also bricklayers, carpenters, etc., and even bathing and pedicures. If there were excavators in this era, Wang Xuejun would definitely run a technical school.
Anyway, the purpose is to let children have a skill and go to society in the future, so that they can have a skill to accompany them.
So, a year later, people found that the food in the restaurant was getting better and better, there were ready-made clothing stores on the street, and it was also fancy and refreshing to make you unable to cover your pockets and burst into tears.
The more you build the house, the more solid and beautiful it is, and the furniture is becoming more simple and practical.
And some things that were not originally had begun to appear. In the factories invested by Wang Xuejun, more and more skilled workers were becoming more and more skilled workers.
The accounts of the little master hired by the shop are becoming more and more concise and clear.
The young lady from the technical school hired by the rich family has almost become a full-scale player.
When hired a servant, whoever asked where it was, answered: "Those who study military and technical schools" were very proud.
The little masters in military and technical schools are becoming more and more popular.
Later, after Boss Cao visited Wang Xuejun's technical school, he immediately sent batches of Caobang's children to the technical school, and he didn't care even if the tuition fees were a bit high.
So people discovered that the quality of the underworld was getting higher and higher, and the gangsters became more and more educated. They no longer spoke swear words, but in a authentic Henan accent: "Nan is a cultural person, and Nan is a reasonable person" and then they were in a right position.
In addition to these, it is to organize all the boys into teams, and military training is required for one hour every day.
Strengthening the body is one aspect, and the most important thing is that three years later, a group of young people with well-trained, highly educated and absolutely loyal to Wang Xuejun began to join the army.
By then, there were often fights in the army because a soldier said something bad about the Regent. As a result, Wang Xuejun's adopted son soldier raised his gun to duel with him.
The princess also wanted girls to train military and let them suffer some hardships and practice hardships. As a result, Wang Xuejun denied with a smile: "Girls need to be raised in wealth. Besides, they have suffered too much, so they should let them enjoy this happiness well."
"Then why do you have to teach those sons strictly?"
"That's different. A filial son appears under the stick. If you don't beat him, you won't be able to become a weapon. Did you let me have 100,000 rebellious sons and let the people in the world make fun of him?"
One after another, parents came to the camp to claim their children. Wang Xuejun promised them to wait until the children have been studying in the camp for three years before leaving them to take them away.
From then on, no matter where Wang Xuejun went, there were always people calling him father.
In this way, Zhang Ziyan grabbed Wang Xuejun's ear from time to time and asked severely: "Is this the illegitimate child you gave birth to a wild woman?"
Xu Jie looked at the adopted son and daughter of the 150,000-year-old boss, and sighed enviously: "The rescue of the boss is really meaningful. When these children become adults, they will be the most reliable group of the boss. At that time, they will be the most loyal direct descendants, and in politics will be your most firm supporter. If sent to the palace, it will be your best spy. - Why are you hitting me?"
"Whoever wants to make a bad idea of sending my child into the palace, I will kill him."
"It's also a good arrangement to send some to the Royal Imperial Guards."
Wang Xuejun pinched his chin and thought for a while, then nodded: "This is a good idea."
After two months of busy work without touching the ground, Wang Xuejun finally arranged the child's camp in an orderly manner. For this reason, Wang Xuejun paid a lot of effort and material prices.
To be honest, if there were no such treasures, Wang Xuejun would have taken the children to beg along the street.
"The treasure will be spent in the end, so I'd better find a way to get the money to have a baby."
