Li Yan had seen a person who was interested in civilian power companies, -Chiang -style 瑆.
At that time, the telegram of Li Yan built to the door of the house was done by him. This time, the power wiring was exactly him.
Who calls people who know electricity in Beijing now are too scarce.
Jiang Shizhen remembered Li Yan. This time he came to know the name of Li Yan: "Mr. Emperor, it turned out to be your home wire!"
Li Yan asked: "Are there few people using electricity now?"
Jiang Shizhen said: "You can't say very little. After all, since Prince Qing and Rongzhongtang Mansion have used electric lights, the officials who have seen have asked a lot."
Now that Beijing can afford electric lights, these are officials and wealthy households.
However, there are not few officials in the capital, large and small Wangfu, Baylor Mansion, and officials from officials at all levels. At least there are at least 10,000 electric lights. Although the number sounds small, at this time, at this time
It's also a piece of good meat.
If the civilian power company does not eat this piece of meat, the Siemens company in Germany will bite sooner or later.
"I just arrived today." Li Yan said.
Zou Rong said: "I'm going to go to jail."
Zhang Taiyan certainly did not want a 18 -year -old young man to accompany himself in jail, saying, "Susan is a talented person, you listen to him right. Although I can see the news in prison, you can see the news. You can see the news. You can see the news.
I know everything outside. "
It was just that Jiang Shihuan listened to the accounting of HSBC Bank that Prince Qing Yiyi had at least 1.2 million silver deposits in HSBC, so he played an impeachment.
Li Yinxiao Zou Rong was in prison for two years, but later his body became weaker and even ill. When the situation was very sinister, he was allowed to release the prison to see the doctor.
When he died, he vomited blood, and people suspected that he was poisoned.
Zhao Qian watched this stuff really novel: "Sir, others don't know. Passing by us, maybe we thought it was an adult."
Cai Yuanpei said: "Okay, then I'll go!"
Xie Yuxi has finished the formalities in Tianjin. The next step is to go to Shanghai to buy another place.
Feng Shuzheng said: "I am a respectable education, and the emperor is assured that if your place will be shown for a day, I will go to thank you."
Among them, Zou Rong, who returned to Shanghai at the age of 18, said to the podium and generously said: "Tsarist Russia occupies the northeast of my northeast, destroying our society, the life and death of the Chinese nation, my parents, uncle, brothers and sisters, will be a man from this time.
Slave. The enthusiastic patriotic man, how can this be tolerated! Men man, would rather be the ghost of the country, not the dead! China is the Chinese of the Chinese, how can the Tsarist Russia invade! May it be from the Chinese heroes to drive Russia
, Return to my mountains! "
Jiang Shizhen knew that the businessmen were not trusting the government, and there were few responders, so they proposed to let the wealthy take the lead in shares to attract merchants to invest, so as not to closure national banks.
However, these have become doubtful in history, and it is impossible to verify.
Zou Rong said: "Mr. Taiyan is locked in prison, I want to go to jail with him, and share bitterness with him."
After that, dozens of people have come to the stage to give a speech:
"The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the body can be eroded. This is a patriotic heart. Although the bullets of the thousands of guns are blown through the thousands of guns, the bullets of the 10,000 -year -old gun are broken, and it cannot be destroyed!"
In the end, everyone also decided to learn from Japan's students to establish the "Refusing Russian Volunteer Team".
Before that, they had directly sent telegrams to Russia and the Qing court: "Even if the government agrees to (the treaty), the people of our country will never recognize it. If the people's sentiments change drastically from now on, and wherever there is hatred against foreigners in the country, it will all be caused by Russia.
It has nothing to do with our country.”
In addition, the investigators sent by the Qing court were just perfunctory, and they were even less likely to ask questions.
Zou Rong said, "I can learn a lot by staying with Mr. Taiyan in prison."
But how could he defeat Yi Kuang?
Zhang Taiyan smiled and said: "This is not the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, it won't be."
Fortunately, although Jiang Shixuan was dismissed from office, he was not discouraged. He put aside his status as a Jinshi and started a business in a down-to-earth manner.
Li Yu wanted to motivate him, he was a young man after all.
Everyone was so enthusiastic. Although Li Yu knew that there would be no results in the end, because Tsarist Russia would be defeated by the Japanese in less than two years, he was still in an excited mood at the venue.
Li Yudao: "It's easy to talk about."
Yikuang is a big customer, and HSBC will definitely not disclose the customer's information. The accountant probably said this just to win over the customer.
Fengling said disdainfully: "I don't want to see you."
On that day, electric lights were turned on in Li Yu's house, and there were also brighter arc lamps in the yard, which finally gave it a more modern feel.
In fact, the concession also knew that Zhang Taiyan was a celebrity, and other than the regular eight-hour workday, they would not torture him.
Li Yu knew that for a long time, except for some wealthy households in Beijing, many residences had poor power supply, lacked transformers and other equipment, and the voltage in many residences was unstable and the lights were dim.
Li Yu was not in the mood to talk about textbooks for the time being, so he called out to Zou Rong who was about to leave: "Classmate Zou!"
Feng Shu came in, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Imperial Master, I have admired you for a long time!"
In fact, there were signs of rejecting Russia as early as two years ago, but later the "Xinchou Treaty" was signed and the compensation of 450 million taels shocked the country, and the matter was suppressed for the time being.
Feng Shu was the general manager of Huashang Electric Power Company after its establishment, and he was also in charge of financing matters.
Zou Rong had just returned from studying in Japan, and he was Zhang Taiyan's close friend, so naturally he had heard of Li Yu's name.
Cai Yuanpei said: "I have read the introductory textbooks on various science subjects that you commissioned from the Commercial Press to publish. They are really wonderful."
Li Yu frowned, this is how Zou Rong died.
Li Yu said: "Brother Zou has not yet completed his studies. I think you have more valuable things to do."
The Shanghai Chinese Education Association, the Patriotic Society and the general public are holding an anti-Russian rally in Zhangyuan.
At this time, Chen Tianhua was studying at Hongfu Academy under Jigoro Kano, so he and Lu Xun were also classmates.
Li Yu said: "I am somewhat selfish. If I set up a laboratory in the capital in the future, I hope to be able to supply stable power."
But now that he is here alive, we can't really let him go to jail.
And Yi Kuang is quite interesting, he doesn't hold grudges very much, and the impeachment incident will be over.
The recent death of Shen Xun has brought out the issue of Tsarist Russia again, and everyone really can't do it anymore.
After that, Yanjing University and Tsinghua University were also supplied by Huashang Electric Power Company.
Because although Yi Kuang is not very talented, he is really obsessed with money. Even if he wants to save money, he will not do it by himself.
Li Yu installed electric lights in every room, including where Uncle Wang and Zhao Qian lived.
"The Emperor is truly a visionary!" Jiang Shixuan said happily.
The main organizers today are also Cai Yuanpei and people from the Patriotic Society.
There is no other way, we must find a way to stop him.
Many people even call it a "dark company", which means that although electric lights are installed, candles are always relied on for emergencies.
Li Yu said: "I'm going to see Mr. Taiyan. My name is from Mr. Taiyan. Unfortunately, he is in prison now. I should visit him no matter what."
Many people came to the stage to give speeches.
As soon as they arrived in Shanghai, they encountered a vigorous anti-Russian movement.
"Jail?" Li Yu asked in surprise.
Zhao Qian said: "In the past, people who were blind and blind could not see it, but it will be better from now on!"
Jiang Shixuan also passed the Jinshi, and his official position was to patrol the city as censor.
This Zhang Yuan is not the Tianjin Zhang Yuan who later became very famous.
As for the university, it is safer to place it in Shanghai. Not only is it safe, but most importantly, not only is the concession area in Shanghai large at this time, the corresponding urban construction area is also large, and there are naturally many places where you can buy land. The development of Tianjin will take more than ten years, etc.
Too long.
"Oh, it's Mr. Li Yu!" Cai Yuanpei said, "When did you come?"
Zhang Taiyan also thinks what Li Yu said makes sense: "This is not a school. You have to work every day. Your studies in Japan have not been completed, so your studies are still the most important thing."
Zhang Yuan is now the center of Shanghai's anti-Russian movement.
Feng Shu said gratefully: "You unexpectedly passed the most worrying test. You don't know how much I worried about these 80,000 taels of silver."
Due to the high price of electricity, only wealthy universities like this can provide stable power supply around the clock.
Li Yu smiled and said: "It's not like only foreigners can use electric lights."
In fact, he didn't understand the rules of foreign banks.
Zhang Taiyan said: "Is this right?"
Eighty thousand taels is not much to build a power company, but currently not many people can foresee the future of power, and the dignitaries are only greedy for money and do not know how to invest.
However, Li Yu knew that the "Huashang Electric Power Company" that Jiang Shixuan was going to co-found, although its name was not eye-catching, had almost monopolized the power supply in Beijing except Dongjiaomin Lane in the following decades, and then gradually developed into the largest power company in North China.
of power plants.
Zou Rong said: "From today on, I will accompany you to jail!"
Feng Shu said: "You will be the major shareholder in the future, and of course we will protect your needs. Is the laboratory just a place for scientific research?"
Li Yu said: "Last time I remember you said you wanted to provide power to people's homes. How is the progress?"
The next day, Feng Shuzhen and Jiang Shixuan came to visit.
Jiang Shixuan said: "I have worked in a foreign company for many years, and I have understood the general principles, but now I lack funds to purchase generator sets."
Housing prices in Shanghai have risen so horribly, the sooner you buy, the better.
Zou Rong said bitterly: "You don't want me to be here?"
He is too young now and is not afraid of anything.
When Cai Yuanpei read, "Russian disaster is becoming more and more urgent. Students studying in Japan have called the ministers of the North and South to take charge of the battle and form a volunteer team to go to the enemy in the hope of assistance." The following people were immediately ignited.
Li Yu nodded: "That's right."
It's just that Li Yu didn't get his money from greed.
Jiang Shixuan said: "Tomorrow I will ask Mr. Feng Shu to come to you in person. He is worried about the money."
The dignitaries are also good at picking. They already know that German products are good, and it is really difficult to compete head-on. Therefore, they can only take advantage of the hatred between the government and the public and the people against the great powers after the Gengzi national disaster to spread out quickly.
Zou Rong said: "I'm afraid that you will be...persecuted by them!"
Zhang Taiyan smiled and said: "It's not bitter. I even feel very peaceful."
Japan is also on the side of "rejecting Russia" at the moment, but their ambition is to replace Tsarist Russia and invade the Northeast.
Li Yu asked: "Looking at your hurry, where are you going?"
Judging from their names, you can tell that they are all young and energetic people.
After getting permission to visit the prison, Zou Rong immediately rushed in and cried through the iron fence: "Brother Zhang, you have suffered!"
He was also a collector and calligrapher, and most of the plaques in Liulichang stores were written by him. There is a saying in the public that "No plaque will be forgiven."
Li Yu knew that Jiang Shixuan was a very upright person, otherwise he would not have dared to impeach Yi Kuang, the most important official in the dynasty, and ended up being dismissed from office.
Jiang Shixuan had long felt that if Li Yu could be the emperor's master, he must not be short of money, but now officials don't dare to invest in these industries.
The Qing government could not ignore the censor's memorial and pretended to send someone to HSBC to check. The result was that there was no such evidence. So the Qing government said that he had slandered the minister without any basis and ordered the dismissal of the censor.
Li Yu said: "Please sit down quickly."
When Li Yu said this, Cai Yuanpei became a little anxious: "Sir, what are you doing?"
Li Yu thought about it and said, "I can invest in it."
Zhang Taiyan laughed loudly: "If you are outside the prison, you can come to visit from time to time. The food in the prison is not good, and I will be very happy when you can bring me some roast chicken and wine."
After everyone gradually dispersed, he could come to Cai Yuanpei's side.
"It is better to be a ghost who has subjugated the country than to be a person who has subjugated the country."
Among the anti-Russian volunteer teams organized by Japanese students abroad was Chen Tianhua, the author of "Looking Back" and "The Warning Bell".
Uncle Wang was also very happy: "This is so good, I will be able to work at night from now on."
The two of them fought each other, and Zou Rong finally gave up the idea of going to jail together: "Then I will definitely visit you often!"
"Mr. Li Yu! It's such an honor to meet you!"
Zhang Taiyan was imprisoned in Tilanqiao Prison in the Shanghai Public Concession.
He once proposed the establishment of a national bank (account bank) with a principal of 4 million taels of silver. 100 taels per share, a total of 40,000 shares. The account department subscribed for 20,000 shares, and the other 20,000 shares were issued by the government and the public.
So Li Yu said: "I will go with you."
Zhang Garden in Shanghai has a relatively short history, but it was the largest public activity space in Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty. The most outstanding thing about Zhang Garden is that it was often used as a place for gatherings and speeches from all walks of life. Since Zhang Garden is located in the public concession of Shanghai, the Qing government had no authority
Therefore, various political rallies and speeches were mostly held in Zhang Garden.
Moreover, it survived into later generations, and its name was changed to State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company. It can be said to be a small giant state-owned enterprise.
Jiang Shixuan said: "There are still about 20,000 taels of holes."
The more the times develop, the brighter the prospects for electric power companies.
The imperial court indeed ordered that princes and nobles should take the lead in depositing their money in national banks and not in foreign banks.
Zhang Taiyan praised: "You are so young and you have such great ambitions. It is really a joy in my life for me to make friends with you, my little brother."
Cai Yuanpei delivered a speech first, and then read the phone calls from Japanese students.
Li Yu thought for a while and asked, "How much money is missing?"
Zou Rong took out "Revolutionary Army" and said, "I have already written it, please show me again."
Li Yu intended to set up a test center in Beijing and Shanghai, and then establish primary and secondary schools in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other places.
Since the last strike at Nanyang Public School, Cai Yuanpei organized the Patriotic Society to take in students.
Maybe it can save two young lives written in textbooks.
After the two arrived in Shanghai, Li Yu first found Hartong and asked Xie Yuxi to discuss the land purchase with him, while he left for Zhang Yuan to check out the situation.
Li Yu also urged: "If you want to accompany Mr. Taiyan to jail, you can, but at least you can get your diploma first, or there is a volunteer team outside. With so many things to do, you shouldn't be afraid of your studies."
Are you afraid of swords and guns?"
Zhang Taiyan laughed and scolded: "Stop joking, there are no fools in the world who would throw themselves into a trap."
Feng Shu was also a Jinshi, and the first electric power company in Beijing was considered a company with talented students.
The court in the concession was actually not very willing to deal with the Su Bao matter. If the Qing court had not insisted on being the plaintiff, Zhang Taiyan would not have been imprisoned for long.
So if Zou Rong didn't throw himself into a trap, no one in the concession would catch him.
After all, Tilanqiao Prison was just built not long ago and has not been expanded to the size of the largest prison in the Far East in later generations. Nowadays, there are not many empty cells to hold a few people who are just writing pens.
In short, let him stay outside first, and then try to find a way for him to vent his youthful energy.
