Walking out of Hu Xiaoming's house, the two men pushed a small cart with more than 8000 yuan in it. Such a large amount of money could completely change the fate of a person or even a family. Lao Deng donated it as he said, without blinking an eye.

Li Qinwu was silent. Based on Hu Xiaoming's father's previous conservativeness and attachment to officialdom, he thought he was a male villain. How come he suddenly changed into a decent character?

"Xiao Ming, your father is very concerned about education. His whole temperament changes when he talks about education."

Li Qinwu sighed and gained a new understanding of the complexity of a person.

"Hey? Director, didn't I tell you before? My father is a Chinese teacher at Fengtian Fourth Public Elementary School."

When Hu Xiaoming replied, Li Qinwu’s eyes widened.

"Isn't your father a Chinese teacher in elementary school?"

Hu Xiaoming nodded.

"Yes, my father wanted to take the imperial examination to become an official in his early years, but he failed for many years. Later, he devoted himself to education and became a Chinese teacher."

Li Qinwu was amazed, and the skinny image of a pedantic scholar appeared in his eyes again. Can this guy really teach the students well?

In response to this, Hu Xiaoming said: "My father taught Chinese and history very well. The students scored very high in these two subjects. Although he did not like physics, chemistry and foreign history, he did not prevent other teachers from teaching these subjects. It's just that...he often said in class that foreigners' things are gimmicks and tricks, and our ancestors' things are the truth."

As they talked, the two of them pushed the cart to the car outside the alley and began to unload the money into the car. Li Qinwu said, "Your father is really a weird person."

Hu Xiaoming said nothing and quickly sent Dayang to the car. The two were exhausted and sat in the car to rest. Li Qinwu lit a cigarette for himself, and Hu Xiaoming said with some reminiscence:

"My father is 65 years old this year. He devoted the first half of his life to studying Confucianism. His life goal was to pass the imperial examination and become an official. As a result, he failed the exam for several years. However, he has no intention of giving up. There are many old scholars who passed the exam when they were over 80 years old. Being an examiner has become my father's obsession.

But suddenly one day, the world changed drastically and the Qing Dynasty was gone! "

Li Qinwu replied: "The Wuchang Uprising, the Republic is here."

Hu Xiaoming nodded.

"The Republic came, then the Beiyang regime lasted for 16 years, and then the Republic of China. The situation changed so fast. How could people react? How could my father react?

The current government values ​​foreign things, and all my father’s lifelong learning is useless. In the past, he still had hope when he failed the exam to become a roast official, but now he doesn’t even have the qualifications to take the exam.”

Li Qinwu sighed after listening to this. Father Hu was a typical person caught in the middle of history. Everything he had learned in his half lifetime was invalidated when the new era came. The familiar old era had passed away, and the unfamiliar new era made him feel out of place. How could he not be confused?

Father Hu is not just a person, he represents a generation and is also a microcosm of this country. As this country has stepped into a republic from thousands of years of feudal society, its confusion and helplessness can be imagined.

What's even more cruel is that the wheel of history rolls forward. It will not stop to wait for anyone. It will only ruthlessly crush those who run slowly. Even if someone catches up, they are still enduring the pain and groping for survival.

After returning to the factory, Li Qinwu gave Hu Xiaoming several ammunition research directions for him to complete. The first one was to reverse-engineer the Liao-made Maxim 1mm bullet. This was the most commonly used bullet model, and was effective against both infantry and armored vehicles.

The second is to research a type of sniper bullet. The caliber can be determined by the user, and only high accuracy is required.

The third is to research a sniper bullet based on the Mauser rifle bullet. This bullet is mainly for sale. Now the most commonly equipped rifles of the Republic of China’s army are those that fire Mauser rifle bullets. Researching a sniper bullet with higher accuracy may open up part of the market and allow the Republic of China’s army to train some snipers or precision shooters.

The fourth is to research an anti-armor bullet with a caliber of less than 4mm, which can steadily penetrate 20mm armor within 500 meters and can be fired by a single soldier. As long as this type of bullet can be researched and an anti-tank gun is designed to match it, then all the Japanese tanks in World War II will basically be blocked.

This large-caliber anti-tank gun is also a weapon for sale. As for anti-tank, the Punishment Army has better ways, such as what Li Qinwu has always wanted to do, the rocket-propelled grenade, or RPG.

Li Qinwu had seen the structural diagram of this thing before. With his current production level, whether he could make this thing remained to be seen.

Don’t think that RPG is big, black and crude just because it is a Russian weapon. The rockets of RPG are a bit complicated.

Not to mention other things, it is hard to say whether the rocket range extension engine and the metal tail fin can be developed. These two things are too sophisticated.

But never mind, let Hu Xiaoming study it first. If these two things can't be made, it's not impossible to remove them. It just means the range will be greatly reduced, not that the gun can't be shot.

Like Germany's Iron Fist, it does not have a rocket-extended range engine, and its folding tail is relatively backward. Its propellant is still black powder, so it still can't beat Xie Mantou.

Li Qinwu mainly wanted Hu Xiaoming to verify two technologies, hollow charge armor-piercing warheads and cylindrical propellant. The former is a special attack weapon against armored targets, and the latter is a prerequisite technology for rocket launch weapons.

This technology was a success. RPG was just child's play and Katyusha was just standard equipment. His real goal was to get the Guerrilla God 105 rocket.

If we could mass-produce the 105 rockets and sell them in large quantities to the guerrillas, letting them attack the enemy's rear, hehehe!

After arranging a job for Hu Xiaoming, Li Qinwu opened a portal and took Li Hanchao to select a site for the school. The location of the school must be considered when choosing a site. Currently, most of the workers at the Julong Steel Plant come from Niujia Village, and then radiate out to the surrounding areas with Niujia Village as the center.

Li Hanchao initially decided to locate the school near Niujia Village. As for the specific location, it would be best if it was close to a mountain to prevent possible bombing by the Japanese. The top of the teaching building would be protected with at least half a meter of No. 2 ceramic steel, and an air-raid shelter would also be dug directly under the teaching building.

In order to make it more convenient for students to go to school, several Taogang roads have to be built with the school as the center. Li Qinwu thought it would be more generous to build the Taogang roads while laying two-way railway tracks and build a slow-rail train similar to a bus or train. Anyway, his railway tracks are free and they all grow from the fields in the north. Instead of melting them, it is a good idea to use them to build a railway here to benefit the people.

Li Hanchao selected a suitable location for building the school within a few days. With the cooperation of other clones' shared thoughts, he completed the engineering drawings within a few days. His efficiency was astonishing.

After the preliminary work was completed, Li Qinwu began to recruit workers. He wrote recruitment information on the propaganda wall of every Longlong convenience store in the village, and spread the news that the Julong Steel Plant was going to build an affiliated school. He said that he wanted to recruit construction workers to do the work. The wages would be paid once a week, 25 copper yuan a day, and two meals would be provided.

This news caused a sensation in the countryside. 25 copper coins a day was a rare opportunity to make extra money, and a large number of villagers immediately signed up to join the construction team. On the first day, the number of sign-ups exceeded 1, 1000 on the second day, and more than 2 on the third day. Almost all the able-bodied men from all over the country were attracted.

Li Qinwu wants to open a school and build a road, and the more labor he needs, the better. But now so many people have come, which seems a bit wrong. What are they trying to do?

Li Qinwu felt that although the wages he offered were a bit high, they were not that high. Other bosses hired people to do heavy work and paid them about 20 copper coins a day, and he paid 25 copper coins. Although it was a bit more than the market price, it was not so high that people would go crazy, right?

Li Qinwu immediately sent people to investigate, and found out that many of the people who came to work had the intention of finding out about the school. On the one hand, they thought that building a school was a good deed, and that after death they would go to the King of Hell to eliminate their evil deeds; on the other hand, seeing that there was no way to send their children to school, they thought that if they worked harder, they might be able to get some favors from the school and get lower tuition fees.

When Li Qinwu heard everyone's purpose, he was really moved, so he waved his hand and expanded the original campus by two times, and then asked his clones to remember the names and addresses of these workers, and the ages of their children. When the school was completed, they could come directly to class for free!

As soon as these words were spoken, thousands of men plunged into a sea of ​​joy, shouting that the Julong Steel Plant was a conscientious enterprise, and some were so excited that they almost fell to their knees.

At that time, the attitude towards education in rural areas was quite polarized. Some people thought that studying was useless and it was better to cut grass for pigs, while others were like this group of workers, trying every means to send their children to school in order to change their fate.

Li Qinwu welcomes this. If parents care so much about education, it will be easier for children to succeed. As for whether recruiting so many students will be too stressful, will it?

Li Qinwu said it didn't matter. At most, he could capture a few more Japanese soldiers during the war and send them to black factories, where he would let them make desks, benches, blackboards, chalk, paper, and print his own textbooks.

The school recruits 1000 students for free, captures 100 Japanese devils on the battlefield and sends them to black factories, and works 16 hours a day. The production capacity can almost offset the consumption. The "Theory of Japanese Devil's Resource Conversion" proposed by the instructor is the golden rule and must be implemented well!

The engineering team has completed the planning and the site for the school has also been decided. It is 1200 meters west of Niujia Village, between two large mountains. This location can block aircraft bombings from both directions to a certain extent.

If the Japanese bombers happened to fly along the two mountains, the mountains would block some of the bombs.

Everything was ready. Li Qinwu sent someone to find Xiang Haigui to buy land, and then let the construction team enter the site to start construction.

The workers were very enthusiastic, as they were building a school for their own children, and there was almost no slacking off. Li Qinwu went around the construction site a few times and found that the construction progress was faster than he had imagined. He was deeply impressed by the workers' performance, which made him make a decision. He decided to recruit these temporary workers as long-term workers and set up Julong Infrastructure on the spot. From now on, they will be regular workers of Julong Infrastructure!

Li Qinwu has already thought it through. After the school is built, he will let Julong Infrastructure build roads to connect the surrounding villages with Chongqing City. After the roads are built, he will build houses for the villagers. They must be modern houses with sewers and running water. After the houses are built, he will build water conservancy projects in the fields. After the water conservancy projects are built, he will build bridges in the city.

Li Qinwu remembered that there would be several more bridges in Chongqing in the next few years. He hoped that Julong Infrastructure could grab these projects, as well as hydropower stations. There were numerous water networks near Chongqing, and there should be many river sections suitable for building hydropower stations!

After arranging the infrastructure of Julong, Li Qinwu temporarily withdrew his attention and turned to Songhu. This city, which had just experienced war and had many parts destroyed, has now regained its glory. The economic center of the Republic of China has endowed this city with unparalleled vitality.

Night Shanghai, Big Shanghai, sings in every street. This decadent music sings of decadence and extravagance. Even the shell craters at the street intersections have not been cleared, and people are still intoxicated in the illusory prosperity.

At this point, someone might ask, wasn't Night Shanghai produced in 1947? How did it get here?

This was actually Li Xin's first step into the entertainment industry. He founded a subsidiary under the Julong Company, Julong Culture, which is an entertainment company that owns movies, novels, and music.

In order to promote the reputation of Julong Culture, he experimentally brought "Night Shanghai" to this time and space. Facts have proved that this decision is very successful. The seductive music of "Night Shanghai" is so popular that even children on the street can hum a few lines.

"Night Shanghai" is just a prelude to the next step of Julong Culture. Now, Li Qinwu came to Shanghai in person to meet Li Xin in order to coordinate and discuss the next step of Julong Culture, which is to shoot "Journey to the West".
