Chapter 56 The Resurrection of Yangzhou

Dong Shuheng really wanted to take a vacation for himself. Just like in his previous life, he would submit a leave note to his boss for approval, go home and rest, turn off his work phone, turn on his computer, and completely let himself go.

But he sadly discovered that he was now the big boss and the leader, and everyone else seemed to be working for him.

He had been busy in Yangzhou for many days, dealing with all the backlog of things on his hands. Suddenly he felt a sense of emptiness, and everyone seemed to be running smoothly, as if they had nothing to do.

With ready-made places, schools and orphanages were built quickly. The structure of the Police Headquarters was also quickly set up. Dong Shuheng transferred some officers from the army to support the Police Headquarters. After the police academy was built,

Police forces will be continuously sent to the police stations. The next step is to establish sub-bureaus in various places to take over local security. The name is easy to find, so just say that you need to turn over the gangsters.

As for the army, both directions achieved the expected goals. The teaching regiment and the 101st regiment in the west were blocked by the defenders in Yizheng County. However, Yizheng is only a small town with not many defenders. After a round of shelling, the city wall was blown out

When there was a gap, Huai Haijun rushed in and wiped out the stubborn Taiping army.

Now that the army has arrived at Pukou and confronted the Taiping Army across the river, Dong Shuheng will build a new Beida camp here to block the Taiping Army's direct northward route from Jiangning.

His goal was to completely turn the original Peking Camp army into a commercial organization. This Peking Camp indeed brought great convenience to Dong Shuheng's business. It brought together the Green Camp of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Capital Command outside the Pass.

, it was not easy for the Qing government to gather these people from all over the country. Now these people invisibly helped Dong Shuheng open up the trade routes throughout the north.

Dong Shuheng built the Guazhou fort as a fortress. In the future, he will build another fortress in Jiangyin. Coastal defense guns imported from the Krupp factory will be installed on these fortresses. If there is another war with Western powers in the future, even if

Even if it cannot be defeated at sea, it can still defend the Yangtze River waterway. With China's huge depth, although it cannot win, it can still be invincible.

After great chaos, there must be great peace. The city of Yangzhou is now a large construction site. Some shanties near the roadside have been demolished, the streets have been widened, and sewers are being excavated on the roadside.

There are wooden pillars at regular intervals on the main road. On the pillar is a gas lamp made of glass, and below is a wooden box with a gas tank installed. The gas produced by coking is collected in iron cans and transported to the gas lamp above through pipes.

By then, Yangzhou will be the first city in China to have street lights.

These projects require a lot of manpower and provide a large number of temporary jobs for Yangzhou, where workshops and various commercial activities have not yet fully recovered.

With the arrival of a large number of administrative personnel and the return of wealthy households who had fled Yangzhou, some shops on the street began to slowly resume business. The first to open were some restaurants, teahouses and snack bars, as well as some small stalls that used to be set up on the roadside.

Vendors and craftsmen also came out again.

The streets gradually became alive again. Seeing Yangzhou gradually come to life, Dong Shuheng felt very proud.

He Garden, because the original owner has disappeared, Dong Shuheng converted the building here into a juvenile military academy, and the garden in front became a Yangzhou Citizen Park, which is open to the public free of charge.

The Junior Military Academy currently has more than 1,000 students, both male and female. These children are all orphans, and there are not so many taboos. Dong Shuheng simply does not distinguish between male and female schools.

Dong Shuheng came to school without giving any advance notice. Therefore, when he arrived at school, classes were still in class. These children had no cultural foundation and they had to learn from literacy. Dong Shuheng made up a set of rules before establishing schools in various places.

Primary school textbooks.

There are only two basic subjects in primary school, "Chinese" and "Mathematics". The Chinese teaching materials were added by Dong Shuheng with later Pinyin, which can increase the speed at which children learn Chinese characters, allow children to quickly complete the literacy stage, and improve the efficiency of learning.

.

Of course, Chinese texts will still select many ancient poems, excerpts from "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and "Rhyme Enlightenment". In order to increase the interest, Dong Shuheng also asked some stories of ancient national heroes to be written in vernacular stories and included in the textbooks

, subtly shaping children's national consciousness.

In addition, Dong Shuheng also compiled a mathematics textbook that introduced Arabic numerals to teach children some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, units of measurement, understanding of graphics, and some simple problem-solving methods. Although Dong Shuheng is not a teacher who has traveled through time, he compiled these primary school textbooks

It's not that difficult to write first.

Most of the teachers in the school are scholars who have difficulties in life, and the salary offered by the school is enough for them to study and support their families. Moreover, Huaihai Academy also has a priority admission policy for these teachers, so many young students choose to become teachers in new-style schools.

Teachers in these schools must participate in special training and pass an exam to obtain a teacher qualification certificate before they can take up their posts. They must learn how to use these new teaching materials, and the school will arrange for them to prepare lessons intensively, preventing some teachers from using old routines to teach.

Dong Shuheng passed by a large classroom that had been converted from an ancestral hall. It was filled with nearly a hundred students. Although it was a bit crowded, it was very bright inside. This was a large class. The students were taking a math class and were studying the textbooks.

The second unit included addition and subtraction within ten, and their first unit lesson was about learning the writing of Arabic numerals.

Dong Shuheng’s plan is for them to learn more than 3,000 Chinese characters in two years, be able to write proficiently, and complete arithmetic, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as basic geometry applications. Then they will enter the professional learning stage. Of course, this is only for the Junior Military Academy, Jiangbei

Other schools will still give children five years to complete primary school. Therefore, children in these juvenile military schools are destined to have a harder time than ordinary children.

Dong Shuheng saw little Guo Yan at the front of the teacher at a glance. He was thin and small, so he sat at the front of the classroom. Dong Shuheng motioned to the principal to call out Guo Yan, but not to disturb the teacher in class.

The principal understood, entered the classroom, murmured to the teacher twice, and then called Guo Yan out.

Guo Yan's eyes lit up when he saw Dong Shuheng, and he saluted a student: "Hello, President!"

"Xiao Guo Yan, you still remember me, how do you know to call me President?"

"President, we have to salute you first every day in class! Look at your portrait hanging in front of the classroom!"

Dong Shuheng took a look and realized that it was true. There was really a portrait of himself above the blackboard in the classroom. In the portrait, he was riding a horse and wearing regular clothes.

Dong Shuheng didn't know that painters were also a specialty of Yangzhou. Someone secretly painted his portrait when he entered the city that day. Later, the painter saw many people asking for money from him, so he gathered a group of friends and painted in large quantities. Later, he also painted pictures in large quantities.

Engraved printing plates were printed in large quantities. Rich people would buy hand-drawn ones, and poor people would buy a printed one and stick it at home. Everyone wanted to express their gratitude to Dong Shuheng in this way.

Dong Shuheng sweated violently, but he couldn't say anything.

"Guo Yan, how have you been lately?"

"President, I am living a good life. Now I only need to study every day, I don't have to work anymore, and I can still have enough to eat. But I can't see my sister every day. I will be at the orphanage tomorrow, but there is a mother-in-law there.

I don't worry at all about taking care of her."

"Is your classwork tight? Can you keep up?"

"Okay, we get up at six o'clock every morning and do morning exercises, and then have breakfast and start class at seven-thirty. When the sun goes down and you can't see in the classroom, class ends. I think going to school is much easier than digging coal, and there is no danger.

.”

"Every evening we still have half an hour of play time. The teacher will take us around the garden. It's so beautiful there."

"Guo Yan, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Dong Shuheng asked.

"President, when I grow up, I want to be a soldier, as mighty as those uncles in military uniforms." Xiao Guo Yan opened his big clear eyes and said with a look of longing.

"Okay, when you get admitted to the Army Academy, I'll give you a pistol."



After leaving the Youth Military Academy, Dong Shuheng took his guards to the east of the city, where the largest commodity trading market in the country would be built in a large open space.

A project manager from the Huaihai Group Construction Department saw Dong Shuheng coming and ran over quickly.

"Hello President, why are you here?"

"I came over just to see how your progress is."

"We have completed the basic surveying work in the past few days and will start the earthwork work soon."

The manager's name is Chen Jincheng, a management talent trained by Huaihai Company. He was asked to be the project manager mainly because he has ancestral construction knowledge.

Dong Shuheng followed Manager Chen to a temporary project office. In the middle of the office was a huge model, similar to the sandbox used by Huai Haijun.

"President, please see, this is the model we hired people to make temporarily. According to your design opinions, the entire market is divided into a storage area and a trading area. The storage area is mainly a conjoined warehouse with a brick-concrete structure. The warehouse is divided into large

There are three levels of small and medium. The large warehouse is 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. It is supported by a row of reinforced concrete pillars in the middle. The entire warehouse is connected. This is the trading area, which is composed of courtyards surrounded by two-story buildings.

Each courtyard is a trading area for a wide range of commodities. Each courtyard can be divided into a shop. The downstairs of the shop is the product exhibition area, and the upstairs is the merchant's living area and VIP reception area. These buildings adopt white walls and black tiles.

The Soviet-style architectural style. The entire trading center will have a unified water supply channel and drainage and sewage system. Four water towers will be responsible for water supply."

"To avoid contamination, livestock storage areas will be placed on the east side of the canal, where a dock will also be built and linked to the west bank by ferries."

"Look here is the dock area. We will expand the existing dock ten times to meet the needs of ships docking in the future, and we will also build ten berths for ships with more than 2,000 tons."

"Well, I won't say much else. The quality of the project must be controlled well. This may be our cornucopia in the future." Dong Shuheng warned.
