Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

A mean person is invincible. Li Qinwu was really defeated by him. However, looking back at Hu Xiaoming's expectant eyes, Li Qinwu still planned to fight for it. This time he planned to start from Hu Xiaoming's character.

"Uncle, as a scholar, you know how dark the officialdom is now. To say that they are ruthless is an understatement. A mistake in standing in the right line of defense can bring disaster to the whole family. This is a basic practice."

Although Mr. Hu didn't say anything, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he had heard what was said.

Li Qinwu added: "As Xiao Ming's father, you know Xiao Ming's character best. Let me tell you something unpleasant, Xiao Ming's character is a little soft.

"If someone like him enters the officialdom and encounters political struggles among officials, do you think Xiao Ming can handle it? Think about the treacherous political struggles in history books. Can Xiao Ming really come out of them intact?"

"This……"

Father Hu's worries could no longer be concealed and were revealed. Although he was old-fashioned and conservative, he was indeed educated and had a good understanding of Chinese history. The bloody officialdom in ancient times was shocking even through the lines of his writing.

There are very few people who can make a name for themselves in this bloody storm. Even if they cannot make a name for themselves, having a good ending has already cost them all. Thinking about my son's character, is it really a good idea to push him into the officialdom?

Father Hu looked at his son's eyes, which were so clear that they seemed foolish, and sighed in his heart.

Being an official was his lifelong dream. When the Qing Dynasty was still in existence, he could not pass the other eight-legged essay exams. Now that the Qing Dynasty was gone and Western learning was flourishing, what he had learned was useless and he had no hope of becoming an official, so he placed his hopes on his son.

His son did inherit his intelligence, and mastered both Confucianism and Western learning very quickly. However, his character was indeed a little soft. As a father, how could he not understand that with his son's character, it would be impossible for him to become a high-ranking official in charge of a region. He could not make up his mind when encountering problems. The best thing for him to do was to rely on a big shot with his own opinions, so that he could make a career.

Li Qinwu sincerely felt that Hu Xiaoming's personality was not suitable for being an official. If he was thrown into the officialdom, he would be eaten up like a sheep among wolves. Moreover, what was the point of being an official under Liu Xiang? Liu Xiang would definitely hire relatives. What would it matter if you, an official of a different surname, did a good job? Would they recognize you? You would be a clerk at best after working all your life.

If history still develops according to the original time and space, the Nationalist government will move its capital to Chongqing. At that time, the capital will be taken over by the cuckoo in the magpie's nest, and the local officials in Chongqing will usher in a major reshuffle. What's the point of Bai Lala working for several years just to make wedding dresses for others?

The reception room fell silent for a moment. Hu Xiaoming lowered his head and played with his fingers. Hu's father's expression changed, and he looked miserable, as if he knew the truth but didn't want to admit it. Li Qinwu got angry when he saw his literary and artistic appearance. It was not refreshing at all!

Things have come to this point, and Li Qinwu is too lazy to waste time here. If Hu's father still wants Hu Xiaoming to become an official, then he can only let his clone do the ammunition research on his own.

The idea of ​​spreading knowledge had to find another way out. Li Qinwu felt that he should write down the knowledge he had currently mastered and the future development of the world in books. If something happened to him, these books could also inspire other saviors.

Speaking of books, Li Qinwu's eyes unconsciously glanced at the bookshelf behind Hu's father. It must be said that Hu's father has a really large collection of books. When he went south from Fengtian, the thing this guy brought with him the most was books. Now there are 5 large bookshelves in the reception room, and they are full to the brim.

Li Qinwu was suddenly stunned when his eyes swept across several books. Those books were textbooks from the Republic of China, namely "Elementary School Social Studies Textbook", "Elementary School Natural Science Textbook", "Geometry", and "Senior Primary School Civics Textbook".

Li Qinwu's butt, which he had just raised, slid back into the chair. He thought of something, something that every ambitious time traveler would do, which is to run an education business!

Since the time he traveled through was too close to the Sino-Japanese War and he could not pursue hegemony, he could not engage in education at the national level. However, he could still start private schools, starting with the children of the workers at the Julong Steel Plant.

Now the Julong Steel Plant is recruiting more than 1000 workers, and this number will soar in the future. Each of these workers has two or three children. If we let them go to school, each of them will be a senior worker in 10 years!

Li Qinwu plans to open a primary school affiliated with the Julong Iron and Steel Plant and offer enrollment as a benefit for the workers. Now that he has a large family and a large business, he can easily afford to run a primary and secondary school with two to three thousand students. It's just a good idea, but he really doesn't know how to provide education. He doesn't even have textbooks. But isn't there a great talent right before his eyes?

Li Qinwu said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, I usually hear Xiao Ming say that you are well-read. I wonder in your opinion, why has China fallen to the current situation? Uncle, do you have a good way to save the country?"

Father Hu didn't expect Li Qinwu to change the subject so quickly, but he had obviously reviewed this topic before, and he started by saying, "Of course, we need to promote education!

China has always been the Celestial Empire. It was only during the Ming Dynasty that China lost its territory, leading to the Qing Dynasty taking over the Central Plains. In order to rule, the Qing Dynasty used the method of keeping the people ignorant. Although it managed to keep its territory for 300 years, it made the people ignorant of the teachings of the Holy Spirit, resulting in the country being no longer a country. How hateful! How hateful! "

Li Qinwu knew he would respond like this. The intellectuals of this era always talk about education when talking about saving the country.

He nodded and said, "That's right. Our country is now lagging behind the great powers in all aspects. A big reason for this is the Qing Dynasty's policy of keeping the people ignorant. If we want to strengthen our country now, the first step is to promote education, starting from the children! Only when the children have knowledge and open their eyes to the world, can China achieve rejuvenation!"

Mr. Hu didn't expect Li Qinwu to say this, and his expression was a little surprised.

In the past, in his opinion, Li Qinwu was a guy who was half soldier and half bandit. Later, when he started a business, he had even less good impression of Li Qinwu. But now, what Li Qinwu said touched his heart, and made him have a different opinion of Li Qinwu.

Father Hu nodded to Li Qinwu with an expression that showed that he was a teachable boy.

"The fact that you can say this proves that you are a man of talent. Now that your business is growing bigger and bigger, you must remember not to be a businessman who drives up prices and exploits people.

What a pity! If Xiao Ming had half of your skills, he could also make a breakthrough in the officialdom. Why do you want to do business? Why not become an official? If you become an official..."

"Hey stop stop stop!"

Li Qinwu hurriedly stopped him. This old man was too obsessed with being an official and was about to bring up this issue in three sentences. He hurriedly got straight to the point and pointed at the textbook on the bookshelf and asked, "Uncle, where did you get this textbook?

To be honest, I also want to run a school. There are more and more workers at Julong Steel Plant, and it is not a good thing for their children to stay at home. I plan to build a school so that the children can learn knowledge and become talents in the future. This will not only change their fate, but also increase talents for the country. "

When Mr. Hu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You want to run a school? How much will it cost?"

Li Qinwu waved his hand casually.

"Why do we need money? We are all factory workers. It's free! Just consider it a welfare benefit given by the factory to the workers."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu's father jumped up from his chair and tapped Li Qinwu with his fingers a few times.

"Good, good, good! You are very good! It's rare for you to do such a good deed, you are really a Confucian businessman! It seems that it was my fault for calling you a bastard before. I apologize to you. If you want to run a school for free, I will help you! I will give you 8000 dollars, and use it to build a better schoolhouse for the kids!"

Li Qinwu took a deep breath and thought to himself that Lao Deng was really generous. He gave so much money as soon as he said so. It really refreshed his view of this old stock.

"Uncle, I can't bear to part with this. How can I take your money? Julong Steel Factory is a big business and has no shortage of money. The main thing is that I suddenly want to start a school. I don't know the textbooks, teachers, and school regulations. I see that uncle is from a scholarly family, and I think he should know some people in the academic world. I wonder if uncle can teach me?"

This much money should be the 1 yuan reward given to Hu Xiaoming for his research on intermediate-power rifle bullets. It seems that Hu Xiaoming gave all the money to his father. Hu's father used 2000 yuan to buy a house and donated the rest. Li Qinwu cannot take the money back.

"Take away those money-grubbing things and buy some desks, paper and pens for the kids. My wife Xiao Ming and I now have this big house and can afford to keep a few servants. That's enough. What do we need so much money for? Take it away quickly!"

As for textbooks and teachers, I will help you arrange them. You quickly go and build the school building and register the children. I will see how many people there are and how many textbooks and teachers are needed."
