Donovan looked around thirty years old and was an American missionary. He was upright, enthusiastic, trustworthy and committed, so his business was much more successful than missionary. Although he was still using a cross to make up his mark in China, he was actually "selling dog meat with the title of sheep."

In fact, Kang Fan had to thank the three Americans who were beaten. These three Americans were unemployed and lived in distress in the United States. Because they met Donovan since childhood, they traveled across the ocean to China to join him. Donovan came to the county town for a short stay this time, and had no intention of staying for a long time. However, they never thought that these three unscrupulous companions were drunk and teased the female student and were beaten by Kang Fan, so they came to negotiate with Kang Fan, so they met.

Donovan did not seek revenge for his three companions, but came to apologize to the female students. With this alone, Kang Fan immediately became accused of him. In addition, Kang Fan and Donovan were both proficient in English and Chinese, and had no problems in communication, so things were quickly resolved successfully and they accepted each other calmly.

In the subsequent chat, Donovan learned about the difficulties Kang Fan was facing, so he recommended himself to be a contact between Kang Fan and European and American manufacturers, and provide him with the best of his ability. Kang Fan agreed happily and immediately gave Donovan a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver. Donovan looked at the white silver in front of him and was stunned.

Donovan's participation has solved all the problems. When those large and important equipment such as steam turbine generator sets, boilers, water pumps, etc. have been transported to the county town after great hardships, Kang Fan was so excited that he wanted to cry!

"Mr. Donovan, you are a good American." Kang Fan held Donovan's hand in both hands for a long time and was reluctant to let go.

Donovan smiled and said, "Since you trust me so much, how can I not do it well? To be honest, your ten thousand taels of silver suddenly bribed my soul!"

Kang Fan also smiled, "Then my business is too cost-effective!"

Donovan said: "I have been in China for ten years and have never seen a Chinese like you. I don't know what you have done before, but I know that you have a clear understanding of the pulse of world technological development and have your own unique analysis and judgment of the current world situation. You should know that in your China, you have not even used electricity in the palace, but the hospital in your remote mountainous county town not only uses electricity, but also uses water and heating systems in the modern sense. This is simply unimaginable! You are a strange person, you are very different from the contemporary Chinese, so I am happy to cooperate with you."

"If this is the case, I suggest you don't hang up your sheep head." Kang Fan pointed to the cross swaying on Donovan's chest and said, "You are more suitable for doing business than doing this."

Donovan shrugged, "I know Mr. Kang is biased against our Western religious beliefs. You are an atheist, but you should not blame others for their beliefs."

Kang Fan said: "I advocate human nature. The development of society is oriented to the needs of the people and should be people-oriented. If the normal needs of the people, society cannot be discussed. When material conditions cannot meet the needs of the majority of the people, appropriate religious beliefs can allow the people to get some spiritual comfort in their poor daily life and add color to their lives. However, fundamentally speaking, religious beliefs have no practical significance for improving the people's material conditions, but they provide some politicians with means to desensive people."

Donovan was surprised by Kang Fan's remarks, but he thought for a long time but didn't know how to argue, so he had to say: "I should be right to provide the people who need me with services within my ability."

"Yes." Kang Fan agreed, "You have provided us with the services we need, and will continue to provide us with more services we need in the future. Thank you!"

After Donovan purchased these equipment, the subsequent civil engineering projects, equipment installation, debugging, operation, daily maintenance and repair work will be carried out one after another, and these subsequent work is more complicated, cumbersome, and takes longer. With these things to do, Donovan's plan to leave in the near future has to postpone it.

Kang Fan brought several electrical and mechanical students from Fenhe Camp to work and study with the group of foreign technicians brought by Donovan and Donovan in order to master the technical skills as soon as possible, so as to replace the work of these foreign technicians and allow them to return to China as soon as possible. At the same time, due to the large area of ​​the house, in addition to the clinics, wards and pharmacies, toilets, bathhouses, canteens, warehouses and dormitories were rebuilt. The large number of willow trees originally planted in the hospital were preserved during the renovation of the hospital. The trees were not short of age, tall, thick, lush branches and leaves, which made people feel comfortable.

With the help and guidance of Wallace Chung, Mei Xiang and her classmates planted flowers and plants in the remaining open space and all corners of the hospital. They also dug a pond and stocked lotus flowers and fish, making the scenery in the hospital more beautiful.

After the water supply/heating/power supply system was completed and improved, a perfect place integrating work and life was formed in the hospital, becoming another camp with better conditions. Kang Fan arranged all the female students here, and worked and studied under the guidance of the students of medical majors. Then, Kang Fan posted notices from various places through Yu Hao, publicly recruited doctors, nurses and handymen. He selected qualified personnel from the applicants to hire them, paid relatively generous monthly remuneration, and improved the hospital system.

On the day the hospital opened, the He brothers and family members, Yu Hao led the people in the yamen, Zhong Hanqiang, students and others to congratulate them. The drums and drums were loud and the firecrackers were ringing, and the whole county was in full bloom.

He Shuikuan walked over, looked mysterious, and pulled Kang Fan out of the yard. Outside the yard, two horses with complete saddles were tied to the trunks of the tree on the street. Kang Fan recognized the two Japanese messengers whom he killed in Shandong. Although the Japanese cavalry were short, the warhorses were all bred from the imported excellent European or Arab horse breeds. Not only were they tall and handsome, but their running speed and strength were also above the Mongolian horses in China. Because the tasks undertaken by the messengers were crucial, the warhorses were also better. Therefore, there is no doubt that these two warhors were definitely one in a hundred or even one in a thousand.

"In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the war horses, weapons, equipment, supplies, etc. that were brought back from Shandong were secretly stored in the water chief, which was very safe." He Shuikuan said.

After Kang Fan thanked him, he chose the red-brown war horse as his mount and gave it a shocking name: Red Rabbit. In addition, the gray one was left for Wallace Chung.

While building the county hospital, Kang Fan launched a larger-scale construction in the surrounding areas of Mafang Township. This construction plan was discussed with everyone long ago. It is planned to build an industrial park. The first phase of the project in the park is preparing to establish a pharmaceutical factory, a daily chemical factory and a metal machining factory for trial production of various drugs, daily chemical supplies and the development and production of various metal machinery.

The He family highly praised this plan and donated a piece of land at the foot of the mountain in the north of Mafang Township for the construction of the park, becoming Kang Fan and his first partner. Donovan is indeed a man with great wisdom. As long as he has money, he can get all kinds of chemical raw materials, machinery and equipment, metal materials, equipment, tools and other things needed by the industrial park, or help sell products produced in the industrial park to foreign merchants, which can play a key role. So, he naturally became the second partner, and his plan to leave the county town was put on hold indefinitely.

The students have been looking forward to making medicines and daily chemical products by themselves for a long time, because the precious daily necessities and medicines brought by that era have been sold and used, and have long become memories. Now, we finally see the hope of making it by ourselves, and everyone wants to use their minds and hands to turn their hopes into reality overnight. Therefore, all the students are working day and night, and that scene really touched Kang Fan and Wallace Chung.

Donovan took the procurement list listed by the students, took his three American partners, loaded with the pile of gold and silver that Kang Fan gave him, and drove his colorfully decorated carriage disappeared. During this period, the construction of the industrial park was also booming, and the craftsmen hired by He Shuichang were sweating profusely under the guidance of the students. As long as Donovan bought back what he needed, everything would be in place before winter began.

Kang Fan and the He family formed a team of training teams, mainly providing armed escorts to the caravans of the He family. In addition, they were with the local garrison to fight against the harassment of bandits on the rural areas outside the county town and protect the lives and property of the local people. This measure was approved by the general officers of Datong Town, and of course, it was decided by the tribe members of the He family who served as officials in the court. It was a legal civil armed force, with the size of personnel being strictly limited to less than 200 people.

Kang Fan was preparing to use the more than 200 sets of Japanese cavalry equipment he stolen to arm the team, so he had high requirements for the quality of the recruited personnel. Most of the young and middle-aged people from the hometown sent by Chief He Shui was illiterate or semi-illiterate, and had no experience in joining the army, which was far from Kang Fan's requirements. Kang Fan chose and selected, leaving only a dozen literate hunters, including the two hunters Kang Fan had encountered for the first time since he came to this era.

Later, Yu Hao was very supportive of Kang Fan, a novel figure who beat foreigners and attacked the Japanese convoy alone, forming a team training team. He actually allowed Kang Fan to select qualified officers and soldiers from the Ningwu Prefecture garrison, and allowed these officers and soldiers to participate in the team training team with a semi-public and semi-private identity. The so-called semi-public and semi-private identity means that these officers and soldiers are still in the Ningwu Prefecture garrison. They are led by Kang Fan in normal times, and Kang Fan provides additional salary and other treatments. They return to the garrison sequence in wartime and undertake local defense.
