So, Dream Island agreed immediately without even thinking about it!

But unexpectedly, Li Hongzhang made another condition at the end. He hoped that when the Homecoming returned to the United States, he could recruit some young children and help recommend them to famous universities in the United States, such as Yale, MIT, Princeton and other universities! Of course, if

Those young children failed to live up to their expectations, failed to pass the exams, and did not embarrass Dream Island.

Thunder Dragon and others didn't think much of it and just wanted to drop it off, so they agreed.

Next, in the name of Dream Island Company, an advertisement was posted to recruit "young children studying in the United States": Those who pay for themselves will get free shipping! Those who pay for public finance, if they graduate from college, must work for Dream Island Company for four years! Of course,

It’s paid labor!

The number of people was limited to 36 people. Lei Long felt that there was no need for more people! Anyway, just do your best to deal with Li Hongzhang! The real valuable ones are the 'imperial prisoners'!

Given the situation in the Qing Dynasty, those who could go to the United States to study at their own expense would not be short of money for a ferry ticket, so most of the young children who signed up were for the publicly funded places that included food, clothing, housing and transportation.

At that time, almost everyone in Shanghai knew that there was an American company that was so stupid that it recruited young children from the Qing Dynasty to study in the United States, and all tuition and other expenses were free!

In this era, any foreign capitalist who can open a foreign company in Shanghai will never lack the money for people to study. It’s just that they don’t understand that if they lack talents, why not just go to the entrance of a world-renowned university, or pay a high salary to a competitor?

Just dig around, why go to the trouble of cultivating talents for the backward Qing Dynasty?

Lei Long never expected that an advertisement recruiting young children to study abroad would cause a bigger disturbance. Within half a month, the areas around Shanghai knew about the advertisement, and many young people who thought they were talented and whose families were poor

Talented people all came to Shanghai, thinking that this was an opportunity to get ahead.

At this time, Li Hongzhang also revealed his final plan and dumped Rong Hong, the "annoying burden", on the homecoming ship.

Rong Hong became disillusioned with the Qing government after the Qing government canceled his plan to study abroad, so he began to live in the United States in 1882.

However, he always had a Chinese heart in his chest, and he would come to the Qing Dynasty from time to time to lobby Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Weng Tonghe and other big names, hoping that they could leak a little bit of the funds in their hands to support those with ambitions and talents.

of young children go to study in the free and democratic United States to accumulate more strength for the rise of the Chinese nation.

However, it is a pity that these big guys are playing politics and talking about exchange. Li Hongzhang is devoted to his Beiyang, Zhang Zhidong is engaged in heavy industry in Guangdong and Guangxi and building the army, while Weng Tonghe is trying to figure out his ideas in the capital and instigates Emperor Guangxu to engage in pro-government.

Who has time to pay attention to Rong Hong, who has a blue mouth and white teeth?

They all found some excuses to send this educator away.

However, if Rong Hong would give up easily, then it was not Rong Da Na! No, as soon as Li Hongzhang arrived in Shanghai, Rong Hong sent a message to visit him, praying a small amount a day and a big prayer every three days, making it difficult for Li Hongzhang to see him and not see him.

, I have a headache and a fever, I wish I could kick Rong Hong into the Huangpu River!

Li Hongzhang thought to himself: Dayin, don't you know how to calm down? The Queen Mother has stopped the military expenditure in Beiyang in order to build the garden. Where can I get the money to privately organize a "young children studying abroad" for you!

By chance, the Dream Island, which had a "very good impression" on the Chinese people, was delivered to Li Hongzhang like a cesspool during diarrhea. The scheming Mr. Shaoquan rolled his eyes and threw out the bait of "invading talented people".

He diverted the trouble to the east and lured Rong Hong, who had transformed into a 'fly', to the east!

Now, it's Thunder Dragon and Uncle Zhou's turn to have a headache!

Long Hao smiled and said: "I guess this old man Rong is stuck on the homecoming ship and refuses to leave!"

When Zhou Bodang heard this, he was very aware of himself and shouted: "The young master is really the reincarnation of Marquis Wu, this is considered worthy! Yes, as soon as the old man Rong heard that we were recruiting young children, he immediately packed up his bedding and moved to the boat to live.

I can’t even chase them away! They say they want to help us control the quality and ensure that the selected talents are all good ones, so as not to waste our company’s money..."

Although Rong Hong had never heard of the Dream.Is company, the U.S. business registration certificate could not be fake after his inspection, and a check from Citibank also proved the strength of this company, so Rong Hong took the initiative to help with the test questions.

, recommending the young children he likes, going to the printing company to print the examination papers, and finalizing the examination venue. In short, he is very busy.

Finally, 36 young children were successfully recruited. Brontosaurus asked them to sign an agreement with Dream Island, and then asked them to bid farewell to their relatives and board the ship one by one.

Unexpectedly, Rong Hong was still a little worried about this new company founded by a Spanish princess, and actually asked to board a ship back to the United States with him. He saw the Spanish princess with his own eyes before saying goodbye and returning home.

Thunder Dragon was greatly troubled, but could not find a suitable reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to pack up a simple single room for Rong Hong on the ship, hoping that he could retreat in spite of the difficulties.

But who is Rong Hong, and what kind of suffering has he never suffered? How could it be so difficult to find him in a humble room? He smiled contemptuously and lay down contentedly.

When Long Hao heard this, he made some calculations: "The time is wrong. If you returned at that time, how could you wait until now to come back?"

"Master, it's because of me!"

There was no wind and no sound. Zheng Gongxiao appeared out of nowhere and said in a ghostly and sinister voice: "They waited for me for a month!"

Zhou Bodang trembled and cursed: "Old Zheng, you are becoming more and more elusive. If I hadn't had a good heart, I would have been scared to death by you! Hey, it was Old Zheng who caused this. Compared with him, Old Zheng and I

The things Lei did were like ants peeing on firewood - not worth mentioning, hehe, not worth mentioning!"

Long Hao was excited: "I'm dizzy. One brought the horse bandit Zhang Yuehu and my father-killing enemy, and the other brought Rong Hong, a young child and a group of imperial prisoners. Isn't this worth mentioning? Oh my god, what did Zheng Gongxiao do?"

What a shocking thing that makes ghosts and gods cry!

Zheng Gongxiao, who had a face like a door panel, nodded and said: "Master, I evacuated the Hanyang Iron Works!"

puff!

Long Hao's face turned pale and he almost fell from the deck into the Yukon River!

"What, what? Say it again, what did you empty out?" Long Hao came over slowly and asked again quickly.

The real history of Hanyang Iron Works was that it was started in Guishan, Hubei in 1890 when Zhang Zhidong was the governor of Huguang. It was completed and put into operation in 1893. It was China's first and largest iron and steel complex at the time!

What is steel? From the mid-to-late 19th century to the mid-20th century, it was generally considered to be a sign of a developed country!

Didn't you see that when the steel production of the United States surpassed that of the United Kingdom, it became one of the world's great powers. For a while, the basis for the slogan of surpassing the United Kingdom and catching up with the United States was large-scale steel smelting, and surpassing the United Kingdom in steel production was a sign of national prosperity!

In any case, the establishment of Hanyang Iron Works was considered by Western powers as a sign of China's awakening!

But... Coco, what did Zheng Gongxiao say just now? Evacuated the Hanyang Iron Works?

The future China's largest iron factory, which was still in the process of being conceived, was stillborn?

This... is so awesome!

Zheng Gongxiao nodded seriously: "Actually, Hanyang Iron Factory doesn't have much, just some iron equipment. Well, now they have been moved to the warehouse in the village. There are also some blacksmith masters, old ones, small ones, not worth it.

Mention it!"
Chapter completed!
