Chapter 66: The Student Uproar

  Suddenly, tens of thousands of teachers and students poured in, and the city of Zhuanghe became extraordinarily lively. Shi Yinsishi was busy beyond measure and had to ask Hu Zhiyong to deal with the headache-inducing matters. When Gu Tian arrived, he asked with a displeased expression: "Why do you want to recruit so many people in Beiping?"

  "Captain, first of all, they were originally from the Northeast. I can use M country slang, how come our own Chinese people don't dare to use it?" Hu Zhiyong looked at the noisy crowd in the square and said to Kameyama: "They are literati, so they must help me establish a school. There will definitely be anti-Japanese sentiment, but I'll handle it well and won't give you trouble!"

  "Beware of spies infiltrating among the Reds and the National Army!" Kame warned, distrustful of these literati.

  "Captain Kameda, what can a few special agents do? Don't tell me the Japanese army hasn't arranged for anyone to be here? I didn't move them, but that doesn't mean I don't know!" Hu Zhiyong laughed happily, revealing the Japanese military's situation with one sharp remark.

  Gu Ding was at a loss for words and stared at Hu Zhiyong for half a day: "You knew it all along?"

  "Are you taking me for a fool?" Hu Zhiyong burst out laughing: "Lieutenant Colonel, they're not going to make it, you'd better warn them not to cause any trouble for me!"

  "This is a military order from Dandong, I can convey it for you!" Kameda also stopped pretending and secretly scolded those fools.

  The newly built university is located on the east bank of Huang Hai Street. The campus, covering an area of over 1,000 mu, is still under intense construction. The school mainly offers courses in liberal arts, engineering, medicine, economics, management and other subjects, with nearly 400 teachers and staff members.

  "Half of the students who returned are back in school, while others are willing to become college teachers or start working. Only a small number have enlisted in the army." Shi Yinsi said quietly, sharing the statistics and telling Hu Jiasan about the ratio of male to female students.

  "As a student teacher, one must undergo training before taking office! In addition, the printing society has been established, accelerating the compilation and printing of teaching materials, and by the end of the year, it must be fully integrated into its own educational system!" Hu Zhiyong is not in a hurry, every step of work can only be done one step at a time.

  "Third Squad, we are students, why do we have to participate in military training?" It was that female student again, Hu Zhiyong already knew her name was Pan Hong, a troublemaker.

  "In times of war, students also need to have a good body! Once the war breaks out, I don't want you to lose your life because you can't protect yourself!" Hu Zhiyong stared at her, with a small and pretty face, although not considered beautiful, but belongs to the type of petite person.

  "What are you looking at? You're staring like a pervert! Pan Hong couldn't stand Hu Zhiyong's gaze and scolded him in dissatisfaction."

  "I'm studying you!" Facing the lively girl, Hu Zhiyong didn't get angry at all. He said calmly: "You haven't answered me whether my response to you was satisfactory or not."

  "Haha, basically satisfied!" Pan Hong laughed loudly and turned to leave.

  "Third Young Miss, is she as beautiful as our sisters?" Shi Yin Hua appeared behind Hu Zhi Yong, humming with hostility.

  "My wife is the most beautiful!" Hu Zhiyong said clearly, and the little beauty also started to get jealous.

  "Don't look at women with such eyes!" Shi Yin Hua warned, shaking her fist.

  "Am I really color blind?" Hu Zhiyong bitterly smiled: "You don't trust your husband at all!"

  "I really don't trust you!" Shi Yin Hua giggled and smiled as she left.

  Among the crowd of people signing up for military service, out of over 300 people, there were only 40 female students. Hu Zhiyong said to Yin Long: "Send all of them to the telecommunications class, send the male students to the military school, and train them as staff officers and civilian cadres!"

  "Third Brother, we joined the army to fight against the devils, can you allow that?"

  "Beat the devils? Wearing glasses, you must be highly myopic? Can you run five kilometers with a heavy load?" Hu Zhiyong asked in a series of questions, and seriously told him: "Don't say 'beat the devils' out loud, it will harm you! Remember, there are various subjects in military school, whether you can stay depends on your performance!"

  "I'll show you my power!" The weak-looking scholar said with confidence, picking up the issued daily necessities and walking towards the formation.

  "Scholars have many eyes and are really not good at leadership." Liang Chengfu shrugged his shoulders, disapproving of these arrogant yet incompetent guys.

  Fifteen days of military training for new recruits, each regiment sent their most formidable instructors. Hu Zhiyong saw that everything was ready here and took Xue'er, who had been by his side all along, back to the bank's compound.

  In the yard, a four-story building was under construction. Hu Zhiyong watched the work of the construction team for a while and walked towards his own living room in the backyard.

  "Ding Dong!"

  The phone rang, Hu Zhiyong picked it up, and Zhang Chenghui's voice came through: "Young master, the anti-aircraft machine gun and rocket launcher have been finalized, should we set up two dedicated production lines?"

  "Alright!" Hu Zhiyong asked excitedly: "How are those special forces guys doing?"

  "Very good!" Zhang Chenghui cleared his throat and continued, "According to your instructions, the production of bullets and shells is going very well, and the testing work has been completed by them. The first batch of finished products has been delivered to Songshan Xian Cave and Tianhua Mountain, and the instructors are also from the special warfare team."

  "Good!" Hu Zhiyong reminded him: "Must pay attention to secrecy, this kind of weapon is not yet born!"

  "Yes, I'll warn them more! Young master, I heard that many university students have arrived. Can some of them be transferred to the munitions factory?"

  Hu Zhiyong was shocked: "These people cannot be used without going through the review! Remember, Buxianshan is not a place where anyone can enter, and those who enter can only come out as dead!"

  Bù Yún Shān has been busy with construction and has strict requirements for everyone. Four tanks have undergone inspections, and new troops are being trained under Liú Xīng Dòu's command. Of course, the Blood Wolf Squadron, Special Forces, and Guard Battalion each sent a class of students.

  Zhang Chenghui trembled slightly and finally begged: "You remember, after the inspection, give me a portion of people!"

  "Don't worry, I'll consider it!" He hung up the phone and lit a cigarette.

  "Thirty townships, sixty or more schools, each school with forty people, over a thousand have been assigned." Shi Yinping walked in and began reporting on the situation of the schools without looking at Hu Zhiyong who was deep in thought.

  "Oh no, oh no!" Hu Da rushed in hastily, shouting anxiously.

  "What's going on?" Hu Zhiyong stood up, looking at his butler with dissatisfaction.

  "The students are making trouble!" Hu Da said steadily, panting heavily as he spoke.

  "Let's go, I'll take a look!"

  In the new campus, all students were shouting and making a racket. Hu Zhiyong ran over, stepped onto the auditorium in the square, and looked at the crowd. The campus suddenly fell silent, looking up at the unimpressive-looking Third Master of the Hu family.

  "Who doesn't want to work on Sundays?" The question was raised by Hu Zhiyong, and Pan Hong eagerly raised her hand to speak.

  "You speak!"

  "Third Master, we are here to study, why make us work?"

  Hu Zhiyong's face turned iron-green: "Who pays the professor's salary? Who provides you with learning tools, housing, and books? Just attending classes in the classroom, can your knowledge be useful?"

  "We, we..." Pan Hong couldn't answer, and Xian Yan smiled and said: "We'll work for you after graduation!"

  "What about after graduation?" Hu Zhiyong pointed at the professor from M country and said: "In today's America, there are many unemployed technical talents with work experience. Employers don't need you rookies because you don't know how to respect yourselves and strive for self-improvement, all you think about is getting something for nothing!"

  "How dare you!" Pan Hong's face turned red with rage, thinking that Hu Jiasan's words were an insult to everyone.

  "Nonsense! A medical student who doesn't do hospital internships, can he become a doctor? An engineering student who can't operate machinery, can he produce machines? Students of economics and management who don't know about markets and commodity values, how can they bring prosperity to my economy?"

  Hu Zhiyong questioned and said with a tone of disdain, "You all don't want to work, is that right? Fine, you can pay for your own education, it's only reasonable!"

  The whispers on the scene began to discuss in a low voice, Pan Hong's face changed from red to white, and his expression was extremely strange. Hu Zhiyong added fuel to the fire with an unfeeling tone: "Speak up! If you can give me a convincing reason, I will follow your conditions!"

  "This is worshiping foreign things and fawning on foreigners!" Pan Hong seemed to have found a reason, and shouted loudly in discontent.

  "Is it worshipping foreign things to learn from foreigners' advanced knowledge? The weakness of the Chinese nation for a hundred years is not solely due to the government's fault. You scholars also bear some responsibility! What aspect of medicine, engineering, or science isn't worth learning from others? Must I listen to you reciting the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames, and then listen to your slogans in order to make our country strong and our people rich?"

  Hu Zhiyong became very cold and his tone grew heavier: "If you have any opinions, you can raise them. As for disrupting social order, there will be no tolerance! Today is the first time everyone has made a mistake, I hope it won't happen again! Third Uncle, set up a suggestion box in the school, if you have any opinions, you can put them forward and say your best way to deal with it. I will give you a reply within three days!"

  "Yes, Third Young Master." Shi Yinshi wiped the sweat from his face, deeply impressed by Hu Zhiyong's swift and decisive methods.

  "Fellow students, everything is free for you, including learning materials, daily necessities and clothes. What you should think about is how to turn knowledge into wealth! There are various labs on campus, if anyone comes up with innovative technology, I will reward them heavily. I announce that the first prize of innovation award is one thousand dollars!" Hu Zhiyong watched the students' expressions, knowing they had calmed down. However, these people still didn't truly understand his sincere efforts for the students, and could only prove everything slowly over time.

  "Third Brother, we in the electronics correspondence class will listen to you. We hope that you can propose a topic for us to research!" A tall and thin student was the first to raise his hand, indicating his obedience to the school's arrangement.

  "Alright, your topic is walkie-talkies, telegraph machines, TVs and cameras. We have a ready-made electronics factory, all the materials you need can be obtained just by filling out a report!" Hu Zhiyong smiled, this was exactly the effect he wanted to see.

  "Third Young Master, what specialized research does our Medical Academy focus on?" Pan Hong couldn't help but ask, her face flushing red.

  "What are you studying? Western medicine manufacturing, traditional Chinese medicine extraction!" Hu Zhiyong suddenly remembered something very important: "I'm entrusting you with a very important task, researching antibiotics!"

  "Antibiotics?"

  "Yes, to be exact, researching the production of penicillin!" Hu Zhiyong became excited, he explained the function of penicillin to his students and detailed the experimental methods, materials, and reagents.

  "I've taken this task!" Pan Hong listened very seriously, and after Hu Zhiyong finished speaking, he first expressed his attitude and asked with interest: "If I succeed, what will you reward me with?"

  "A husband who is more awesome than you!"

  "Husband? Ah!" Pan Hong's face turned red: "I don't want that, give me something more practical!"

  "Five thousand dollars!"

  "Ah!" Everyone was surprised. A good sedan for just a few hundred yuan, a bag of flour for two yuan, if she could get five thousand yuan, she would immediately become the richest woman.
