"Haha, yes, he can't tell me about his suffering." Old Dao Li was also happy, and then warned again: "Okay, I know the whole story, but I must not reveal it at all. Apart from the people in this room, your brothers, sisters, or even your parents, and your wife, I can't do it. If anyone is slacking off, don't say that Brother Zhao will not let him go, even the old Dao, I will never forgive him." Everyone agreed with a stern promise.
After this incident, everyone began to be busy.
Li Laodao and Li Shifen presided over the life arrangements of the children. In addition to taking care of the children they had already had, there were more than 80 orphans of different sizes added. The baby two years ago grew up under the care of everyone, and now he can stagger and walk. The childish voice of the child spreads the hope of life in the severe winter.
Kuang Zhenjue, Li Tongsheng and Liu Dehai are still rushing around several nearby counties and townships, looking for those little lives that are difficult to survive in the cold winter and may die at any time.
Zhao Zhenzhong concentrated on training the 28 people he had originally selected for training and often brought them to nearby mountains and fields for winter training. Now all he trains is physical fitness, martial arts routine practice, and the mastery of some common sense in the field. As for military skills, Zhao Zhenzhong believes that it is not the time yet.
Zhou Hao also led a group of children who were not willing to be outdone and exercised. However, considering their age and physical ability, these children were limited to exercise near their residences, and the intensity was also greatly reduced.
Zhou Tian and a group of little girls sorted out the dried medicinal materials in different categories, and made them into some traditional Chinese medicine powders and pills under the guidance of Lao Dao for daily use.
Whenever Mr. Li taught those who chose children's literacy courses, Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao would sneak into the mountains to shoot and train some military skills.
On this day, the three of them finished training in the mountains. After collecting their guns and ammunition, they set up fire in a small cave and cured a hare and two pheasants. The three wild game were washed and peeled with snow water. The hare was smeared with seasonings and racked on the fire to grill. One pheasant was wrapped in snow water and yellow mud and placed in the fire to grill. One was placed in an open iron can and cooked on the fire. In addition to the snow water, the jar also added mushrooms, wild fungus, polygonatum, yam, etc. that were found.
Smelling the scent that was gradually emitted, Zhou Hao couldn't help but move his index finger and praised: "Old Zhao's hand is a must-have, so you don't have to worry about not being able to eat well anywhere."
"You can also master more, it's worth it." Zhao Zhenzhong said while turning the rack and baking hares on the fire.
"Aren't I going to learn this?" Zhou Hao replied. Then he said, "Old Zhao, we have been here for more than two years. The three goals you mentioned in the near future, exercise, integrate into the times, and meet children, can all be said to be completed, right? What should we do in the future?"
"Don't always ask me, you should think about it carefully. If you don't use your brain, you won't be afraid of your IQ decreasing?" Zhao Zhenzhong said bluntly.
"I thought about it, but I always feel embarrassed." Zhou Hao continued: "You have criticized the pioneer in the south, and they are indeed unreliable. But it will take about twenty years to wait for the red party to be established next year to embark on the right path. But we can't wait for these twenty years, right?"
"I have also thought about the two fundamental advantages we have during this period. I think we can use and expand these two advantages at the right time, and even create a new path." Zhou Tian also said to Zhao Zhenzhong, "To the minimum, we can avoid many detours and sacrifice many people."
"I have talked about our two major advantages and one disadvantage before, and this situation has not changed yet. Of course, as our bodies continue to grow, our disadvantages will gradually be eliminated. This is in terms of our personal situation." Zhao Zhenzhong said.
"As for China today, it also has two major advantages, three major disadvantages. The two major advantages are large land and abundant resources and large populations. The three major disadvantages are extremely low productivity levels; the domestic has not been truly unified; the invasion of the great powers. Among them, the low productivity and the people and tools in productivity can be further divided into two disadvantages: low industrial level and low population quality."
"We must try our best to use the advantages, but at the same time we cannot stimulate the great powers. For example, we must never develop large oil fields in China before there is no armed force that can drive away the great powers. Otherwise, if it leads to a fundamental shift in the direction of Japan's aggression, it will be a big problem."
"As for the disadvantages, we cannot fundamentally reverse them now, so we can only do our best to lay a solid foundation first and accumulate for the future. The most important thing is to cultivate talents, talents from all aspects, which is also the fundamental purpose of our inclusion of orphans and starting Yixue. Then we are to establish a modern industrial system in a certain part of China through talents, and play a role in leading the surface, and then carry forward the situation. These two aspects are to solve the disadvantage of low productivity levels."
"As for China's true unification, it is difficult to complete in the face of invasions from many great powers. We can only seize the opportunity to develop and strengthen our own strength, from small to large, from point to surface, and finally seize the opportunity to play with the great powers. Thus, we can drive out the great powers and truly unify."
Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao heard it, his eyes lit up. Zhou Hao then asked, "These are all general directions, but what should I do now?"
"For the current issue, let's talk about the general idea of the past five years." Zhao Zhenzhong tore the roasted hare and distributed it to Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao. He took out a wooden bowl and wooden spoon carved from the mountains and served the two of them with pheasant soup. Then he continued: "The current exercise, integrating into the times, and uniting young children, must continue. In the next few years, we must develop some processing enterprises with low technical content, increase income sources, and initially train some workers. But we do it alone and do too much constraints. If it doesn't work, we will join forces with foreigners and use the tiger skins of foreigners as a banner to avoid harassment from all walks of life."
"The second thing is to establish an armed force. If the first thing can be done smoothly with foreigners, then the second thing will not be difficult. It is natural for a company with a foreign background to establish a force to defend itself in this era."
"The third thing is to further train our personnel in the future and try to send as many children in the hospital to universities as much as possible. If possible, try to send them to foreign universities, learn and master various advanced technologies, and establish and improve the talent system needed for future development. There are only three of us, and although we can be called experts in some fields, we are not proficient in all fields. Therefore, it is unrealistic for us to cultivate senior talents by ourselves. Moreover, in the future, there are too many talents in various industries, and we can't be busy with the three of us as ten. In addition, with the constant domestic wars, sending some people to study abroad is a shortcut that we must take for our future development."
"The last thing is financial support. Modern warfare is logistics, and according to the popular sayings in the past, it is money and grain. All industries and departments in building modern countries need huge financial support. Therefore, we need a lot of money, and we also need a lot of money. Now we can solve the funds needed for survival by robbery, but the funds needed for future construction and development will be astronomical. China has not yet been truly unified, and local separatism is serious, and there is a lack of a unified market, so it is difficult to achieve this fund accumulation. Only when you go abroad, you can use the opportunity to achieve a leap-by-leap accumulation of funds."
"So, you two must be prepared. When your body grows for a few more years, you must go abroad to be responsible for achieving the goal of cultivating talents and accumulating funds. You need to stay abroad for a few years." Zhao Zhenzhong looked at Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao said.
"Do you have to go abroad?" Zhou Tian didn't want to separate.
"The goal we mentioned above cannot be achieved in the country." Zhao Zhenzhong replied with a sigh.
"Old Zhao, why don't you go abroad with my sister, I can go abroad in China." Zhou Hao suggested.
"In China, you need to build enough bases, but you are not suitable." Zhao Zhenzhong then explained: "I am the most suitable person to stay in China. Among the three of us, I am good at military affairs and have experienced more things, which is enough to cope with various situations in China. If I stay, I can ensure that I don't have any problems, and you will be less worried, and you can also achieve the purpose of creating bases. Moreover, Xiao Hao went abroad to study electromagnetic matters. If I had to do these things, not only would they have to start completely from scratch, and twice the result with half the effort, but it would definitely be inferior to Xiao Hao."
"In a word, if I stay, we will play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses; if I go abroad, we will fight against our strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, don't argue about this issue." Zhao Zhenzhong further summarized.
"As for which party to choose, the one who pioneers in the south must not be considered. As for the red party to be established next year, from its establishment until the dissolution of the Third International and the end of the northwest rectification, Taizu truly became the leader of the party. During this period, there were too many dirty things. It is not uncommon for one to put on his hats and kill his own people by chance. I think even if you want to join this party, you must maintain relatively independent development for a long time, and you cannot let those who come back from Moscow point fingers and command blindly. If not, then we will develop alone without being restricted. There is no need to worry about the party at present, so you might as well take a look in the next few years."
"There is another thing to tell you. The funds I got from Old Man Sheng Yun a few days ago also had £2 million in bank bills. I looked at them all for £100,000 each, with a total of 20. They were all issued by Standard Chartered Bank and paid as soon as possible, without a secret deposit. These things are also troublesome for the master. I will send these bills to you and keep them. It will be useful to go abroad in the future." Zhao Zhenzhong said to Zhou Tian.
"2 million pounds?" Zhou Hao was shocked, "Damn! The 2 million pounds in this era are equivalent to about 10 million US dollars, and the ocean is equivalent to about 30 million oceans. Why is this old man so much money?"
"Haha, it took only one or two years for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. He joined the clan and social party around the 1911, from the northwest to Tsarist Russia, to Inner and Outer Mongolia, Japan, Tianjin, Qingdao, etc. Moreover, Qingdao has become the base camp for the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to plan for restoration since the 1911. With the various contributions of many former Qing emperors, it would be strange if the funds were less."
"After Zhang Xun failed just 7 days before and after the restoration, many of the remaining young men who occupied Qingdao were scattered all over the place since then, but there were still some important figures left, and Sheng Yun was just one of them. You see, among the people he had come into contact with, Prince Qing Yizhu, who fled into the British Concession in Tianjin, Prince Su Shanqi, who fled into the former Russian Dalian Concession occupied by Japan, Zheng Xiaoxu, who sneaked into the public concession in Shanghai, and other famous big men among the restoration figures. Take Zheng Xiaoxu, a famous traitor in history in the future, for example, as for him, he once held many important positions in the central and local governments, and had frequent exchanges with foreigners. I guess this funding is indispensable for Zheng Xiaoxu's contribution. As for why it is all British pounds, I think in addition to the strong pounds, it may also be related to the customs surplus controlled by the British."
"Besides, restoration of a dynasty is not a small fight like a private business. The materials and money needed are huge. The Qing Dynasty has been plundering the pass for nearly 300 years, and there is still some money. And it is very likely that the funds here are not all the funds for restoration. Those old and young men will not hand over all the funds to Shengyun alone to control them."
"No matter how he comes, as long as we can use it, it's great now." Zhou Hao was overjoyed.
"Just as long as you two know about this, don't spread it." Zhao Zhenzhong reminded.
