Chapter 9 New People and New Things
"Did the Duke of the State thought about the establishment of a police station occasionally, or had thought about it?" After Guo Jingzhi left, Li Xiaocun couldn't help but hesitate to ask questions.
Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "I am going to promote its regulations and go to various departments, prefectures, counties, what do you think?"
Li Xiaocun said in a trepidated manner: "If you don't learn from the last step, how dare you take the word "Mr." in front of the Duke? The Duke will kill the younger one."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Sir, haven't answered me yet."
Li Xiaocun hesitated and said, "Local civilized governance, and the division of military revolution is a symbol of social progress. Besides, the Duke of the State is far-sighted. Looking at the books of Western countries, there is no reason for the Mr. to serve the local area. If you think about it carefully, the Duke of the State is really a subtle word. If all the servants have the intention to serve the local area, why worry about the people's unstable hearts?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It is said that one official can benefit the people. If you think about it in your heart and think of yourself as your parents, it is inappropriate. You have high talents, maybe you can relieve your worries and low talents, and good things will be done bad things, which is completely different. As an official, you must also respect the people and serve the people. In this way, even if you have mediocre talents, you will never do some confusing things."
Li Xiaocun was shocked. Although he had many contacts with Westerners and read more Western books, a new world gradually appeared before him, but the words of the Duke still shocked him and were even more puzzled.
Ye Zhao felt that some officials in later generations did not understand this truth after these words. Moreover, their ideas are too advanced now. Even if they accept new ideas like Li Xiaocun, it is tantamount to playing the piano against a cow. If everyone in this life can be self-reliant and pay less money, then Amitabha Buddha.
With a slight smile, Ye Zhao said: "In short, the people are more important than the king, and the world is most rational."
Li Xiaocun sighed and said, "Duke, it's better to see him at first sight than to hear him. How lucky is the villain? If you can see such a great talent as a king, even though the villain is a little confused, he must remember it in his heart and grind it all the time."
Jin***, who had been sitting in the side position and silently looked at her cousin in surprise. She knew that her cousin was arrogant and arrogant. Although the evil man was a noble person in the current dynasty, with her cousin's temperament, she would not have such a stingy flattery. It can be seen that her cousin truly admired this evil man.
Jin***'s mother was surprised. Why was Li Xiaocun actually surprised to see her cousin? When did she become so familiar with the Duke of the State? She went in and out together. With the support of the Duke of the State, who dared to seek your property? Li Xiaocun could not have imagined that with the Duke of the State, who was the most powerful person, she would seize her cousin's wealth.
"What do you think of enriching the country and strengthening the army?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.
Li Xiaocun said lightly: "Learning from the barbarians' skills to control barbarians is nothing more than an empty word. The most fundamental thing is to open up people's wisdom, run schools and educate, and catch up with Western technology. This is the long-term strategy."
Ye Zhao originally thought he would say something that encourages the development of private industry and commerce, but he didn't want to say something amazing and was very fond of his own. However, it is not just a simple way to open a school. The development of industry and commerce can make the illiterate people more insightful.
Thinking about it now, I have a lot of things to do, such as running schools, hospitals, factories, etc. But no matter what I want to do, I have to have money in my hands. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. Now, what I lack most is money.
The urgent problem is three to four million taels, but Uncle Jiu and others made such a fuss at the Li family, Ye Zhao had an idea and had an idea.
"Sir, are you willing to serve me?" Before Ye Zhao left, he asked Li Xiaocun with a smile.
Li Xiaocun hesitated at all, and immediately bowed and said, "How lucky is he to be able to serve the Duke?"
Ye Zhao smiled casually, turned to Jin***'s breasts and said, "Let's go, go for dinner."
Jin***'s breast felt a little embarrassed. In front of my cousin, he went in and out with a young man, drank and ate together. What does that mean? Fortunately, this villain has a transcendent status and others will only envy him, but no one dares to gossip.
Debin has been waiting for the house in Jinyunlou, Nancheng. When Ye Zhao and Jin's breasts came in, he was yawning. Zhang Wa was crying, obviously he was addicted to smoking.
"Brother!" Seeing Ye Zhaodebin became energetic, he hurriedly stood up, and when he saw the bright and beautiful lady behind Ye Zhao, Debin said, "Sister-in-law!" Jin***'s pretty face turned red, and she was extremely embarrassed.
Ye Zhao smiled and knocked his head, saying, "Just, you should be tutoring your brain, but it is not necessarily a couple who are with men and women in the future!"
Debin giggled foolishly.
Sitting down to taste tea, Ye Zhao turned his head to Jin***'s milk and said, "Tomorrow, you go to Foshan." The stove machines that run iron plants have been stocked up on Hong Kong Island for almost a year. Jin***'s milk only heard that the stove has arrived in Hong Kong, but I have never seen it before, and I feel uneasy. Who knows whether this evil man is lying to him. In the eyes of others, he is a commander with high power. He is a famous general who fights against foreign enemies and can occupy his small property. How dirty is it? It is not necessarily impossible to lie to others.
At this moment, when he heard Ye Zhao's words, Jin***'s breasts finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently.
Seeing Debin yawning again, Ye Zhao sighed softly, took out a cigar and handed it over, saying, "Come on, use this to refresh yourself." He took out a match and helped Debin lit it with his own hands, patted him on the shoulder with love. Ye Zhao always felt like he was his biological brother.
Jin*** looked at this scene in surprise. She had never seen a villain so gentle and easy to treat people.
Ye Zhao ordered another cigar himself, and Debin stuttered and asked: "Brother, this is a choking nose, no, it's good without Fushou cream, it's delicious."
Ye Zhao glared at him: "I don't know how to enjoy it, right? What's the good fortune-shou cream? Let me tell you, kid, have you reduced the dosage now? I'll quit the harm to others in the future!"
Although Debin followed the army, he spent most of his time in Fogang, so it was naturally very safe. However, after the war ended, Ye Zhao also asked for his merits and was granted the title of "Second Class General of the Assistant State".
Ye Zhao was about to make him named the Chief of the Police Bureau. Of course, he would definitely have to set up a deputy position to truly manage the affairs of the Police Bureau.
Debin lowered his head and said nothing. He obviously did not want to quit smoking, but knew that the prince was doing it for his own good, and he listened to the prince's words the most, so he could only say nothing with aggrieved look on his face.
Ye Zhao laughed. At this time, all kinds of dishes were served. Ye Zhao helped Debin pick up a piece of gulp meat and said, "Try it, it's different from the way it is made in Beijing."
"Master, please leave it to Jinfeng with confidence. Jinfeng will go to Foshan tomorrow and contact him in the future." Jin***'s pretty face was calm, but he felt relieved. Finally, he didn't have to be summoned by this evil man and waving it. He was quite happy to escape.
Although Ye Zhao knew that Jin***'s breasts must have a bad impression of him, he did not know that he was like a plague god in his heart. He nodded and said, "Well, after I got the telegram and the train, I went back and forth in Foshan and Guangzhou, but it was the same place."
When the telegram lines from Hong Kong to Guangzhou were set up, correspondingly, several important towns such as Guangzhou to Foshan and Shaozhou would gradually form a telegram network, and even if foreign merchants do not participate, they still have to find a way to get it done.
Ye Zhao was talking casually, but Jin***'s breasts were stunned when they heard this. The red cherry picked up by the ivory chopsticks fell on the table and rolled a few times to the ground.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Is it strange? In the future, not to mention going from Guangzhou to Foshan, even from Hong Kong or Shanghai, you can come all the time." I don't know that in Jin***'s ears, it's more like a narration of "You can't escape my clutches."
Speaking of this, Ye Zhao remembered that he had finally met two inventors from Britain two days ago. As expected, as he expected, his ideas were strange. One wanted to invent a kerosene lamp fuel-saving system, and the other did not understand the invention concept for a long time.
Although they have no future, they are still delicious and delicious. After all, it is also a promotion when they return to London. Their own Xiguan Inventors Club is still based on them to create brands.
What made Ye Zhao the most helpless was that one of the "inventors" was probably hospitalized and asked to stay in Guangzhou to work for General General. Although he was preparing to run a secondary education school, this inventor was obviously not a suitable teacher candidate. Some of his crazy theories in later generations may stimulate students' imagination, but today's Chinese people have to follow the rules and learn the most basic theories. If you listen to his teaching, it would be strange if you don't go astray in confusion.
After tasting the wine, Ye Zhao couldn't help but think of the newly formed "Guangdong Navy". In fact, it was the right wing of the Flag Guarding Forward Battalion, which was to form the navy, preparing to equip its elite with the Angela 1856 rifle. The navy's pilot, after thinking about it for a long time, finally decided to be appointed by Ma Dayong, and the former right wing chief Zhao Sanbao was transferred to the Zhenjiang Camp's pilot.
Zhao Sanbao is brave in combat, but he is stubborn and rarely adapts. He lacks the ability to accept new things. Ma Dayong is very active. He should be able to get into the role very quickly when he goes to the navy's coach.
Now, under my command, seven camps of firearms and two thousand navy soldiers, the left and right wings of the flag guard vanguard, mainly 4,000 cold weapons retained by each brave, and the Changfu team has more than 10,000 people. This is the greatest limit for what I can support the soldiers now. Even if I want to equip the left and right wings of the flag guard vanguard with firearms, I can only take my time.
Ma Dayong and the navy soldiers have already gone to Hong Kong with the new army adviser Peter. The Duke of Ive will be renamed Dinghai. Although it has not been completely restored, the sailors can enter the role faster in the face of real objects. Bashali also agreed to appoint a team of instructors to help him train sailors, which are all under the terms of attachment.
In addition to the Dinghai, you also need to buy several steamships or giant sailboats for the navy, tied with cannons to make up the numbers, which can mainly transport soldiers. If you buy a few more gunboats, it will be difficult to beg for alms; secondly, even if you convert the silver, you will develop the navy on your own instead of using it to destroy the bandits, which will be a waste of people. In this case, you are also worried that the navy under the capital will enter the Yangtze River and bombard the Tianjing. If there is really an order, you can only find some excuses to shirk responsibility, or if you don’t work at that time, and now you will have to do your best to break the Taiping Army.
, it is of no benefit to me, let alone the natural danger in Nanjing and the large number of forts, and a third-class ship is probably not good to go. Moreover, in this life, perhaps because of the might of the Liao brave soldiers from Guangdong, I heard that the Taiping Army was equipped with firearms very fast. Britain and France did not sign a peace agreement to help the Qing army break the thieves like in the previous life, so it is not strictly prohibited for the transaction of firearms with the Taiping Army. Similarly, the Hunan Army and the imperial guards in the capital are also changing firearms one after another, so it is no wonder that Wells wrote a letter that it is imperative to build an arsenal in Hong Kong.
