"We are recruiting workers. The mine is recruiting workers. We only need young and strong workers, with a monthly salary of 1 yuan, including food and housing!"
"The factory is recruiting female workers. Listen up. As long as we are female workers, those under 18 years old and those with outstanding beauty will be hired first."
"..."
As soon as Zhou Hexuan stepped out of the station, he saw rows of recruitment booths. The flood victims from Shandong were seen as an inexhaustible supply of cheap labor in the eyes of businessmen and bosses in the Northeast.
Take the mines as an example. Local absentee workers are paid higher wages, and they also have to pay compensation in the event of an accident. The disaster victims are different. Originally, it was difficult to even hire a maid with a monthly salary of 1 yuan, but now they can choose young and strong people at will. It doesn't matter if you die in a mining accident.
What's more, engaging in human trafficking and flesh and blood business under the guise of recruiting female workers is completely taking advantage of the situation.
But the victims had no choice. It was extremely difficult to survive. How could they care about the future? They lined up in front of the recruitment booth and moved forward slowly, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Zhou Hexuan couldn't bear to see it, so he went to the car dealership and called a carriage, then went to Wangjiahezi Village (later Shenyang Tiexi District) on the outskirts.
The handlebar type is very talkative. While shaking his whip, he said: "Are some of the new teachers here?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "How do you know we are teachers?"
The handlebar type said: "Sir, the young lady is a scholar at first glance. Now she is going to Wangjiahezi. Of course she wants to be a teacher at Fengyong University."
"Even you know about Feng Yong University?" Zhou Hexuan said in surprise.
"Who doesn't know about Fengtian? Master Feng Wu is so benevolent that he donated all his family property to build a university without charging tuition fees. Not long ago, the city was full of enrollment notices. I have a relative's baby," he said with a smile. I passed the school's admission and applied for a mechanical major."
"If you study mechanics well, China is short of engineering talents. After graduation, you can find a good job wherever you go," Zhou Hexuan said.
"That's not the case," Chebar Shi said talkatively. "My relative is not a wealthy family, and he has already tried his best to send his children to middle school. He originally wanted to go to a normal university, and normal universities are free. But when he heard that Feng It’s free to study engineering at Yong University, so I signed up right away. That kid is smart, has a good mind, and has been promising since he was a child..."
The handlebar type talked endlessly, and finally shut up when he reached his destination.
What appeared in front of Zhou Hexuan's eyes was a large area of new-style buildings with red bricks and black tiles, glass doors and windows, a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and the area was so large that it emptied Zhou Hexuan's family fortune and was not enough to build so many houses.
Feng Yong was standing at the gate of the school, directing a dozen workers to place the stone lion: "Left, left, left, a little further to the left, move forward... eh, okay!"
Zhou Hexuan walked over and said with a smile: "Principal Feng, you are fine."
Feng Yong was quite happy to see Zhou Hexuan. He laughed and said, "I like this title. Call me two more times to hear it."
"Hello, Principal Feng!" Zhang Leyi shouted in fun.
"Hahaha, don't call me Fifth Brother anymore, just call me Principal Feng." Feng Yong smiled with a smile on his face.
Zhou Hexuan handed over a cigarette and asked: "Are there enough teachers in the school?"
"Enough, they are all hired by me with high salary," Feng Yong said without taking the cigarette. "I have given up smoking and drinking. As the principal, we should set an example and get rid of the bad habits in the past."
Zhou Hexuan sincerely praised: "Principal Feng is courageous."
Feng Yong patted the two stone lions and said, "Are they majestic? They were given by Liuzi."
The stone lions given by Zhang Xueliang to Feng Yong University have been passed down to later generations. They are the pair at the entrance of Xinhua Road Gas Group Company in Heping District, Shenyang. Local friends should be familiar with them.
After chatting for a while, Feng Yong said to Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi: "Let's go, I will take you to visit the school."
A few people entered through the school gate, and there was a cave inside, with numerous buildings, playgrounds, courts, and sports fields all equipped with facilities.
Zhou Hexuan was surprised and said: "You built so many buildings in half a year?"
"It only took four months in less than half a year," Feng Yong said proudly. "There are more than 200 classrooms, offices, libraries, and dormitories in total."
Zhang Leyi asked: "Isn't it expensive?"
Feng Yong said with a smile: "I took out all the cash at home, sold two factories and several houses, and donated a total of 3.1 million yuan to the school."
madman!
Only a madman can do this by breaking up a family to run a school.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Even if we build a university, it won't cost more than 00,000 yuan."
Feng Yong laughed: "Haha, I will show you something. You will know it after you see it."
Zhou Hexuan didn't understand what he meant and followed him full of doubts.
Everyone passed through the playground and came to a row of warehouses. The warehouses were actually guarded by plainclothes soldiers. Looking at the loaded guns, it was obvious that there were good things hidden inside.
Zhou Hexuan's attention was focused on the long and narrow open space in front of the warehouse. He carefully checked the white markings on the ground and asked uncertainly: "Is this the runway?"
"Haha," Feng Yong did not answer, but laughed and said, "Open the warehouse!"
Immediately, a follower took out the key and ran to open the warehouse door. Three aircraft were parked inside.
Feng Yong pointed to the aircraft and said in a boastful tone: "P-9, a biplane fighter developed by the American Boeing Company, only entered service in the U.S. Air Force in October last year. I spent a lot of effort to get them. Mine The plan is to purchase another 20 fighter jets in the next ten years to form an entire combat squadron."
Zhou Hexuan sweated furiously: "How can you run a university here? You want to move the Northeast Air Force Command to the school."
Feng Yong said with a solemn expression: "The Japanese are always spying on the Northeast, and I have to be on guard. In my school, there are not only airplanes, but also guns. All students, regardless of gender, must undergo military training every day. Once the Japanese dare to invade In the Northeast, the entire school here has soldiers, and they are the best student soldiers. Although there are few people here, the school offers all science and engineering subjects. Students must not only be able to fly airplanes and fire cannons, but also learn to repair airplanes and cannons. .If you give me enough time, I will make them all know how to build airplanes and cannons!"
"Fifth brother," Zhou Hexuan said with emotion, "if the Japanese really come, you should take these students and evacuate to the pass. They are the most precious scientific and engineering talents, and they are the seeds of the country's industrialization. They cannot be wasted on the battlefield."
Historically, most of the students at Fengyong University participated in the "Fengyong University Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army." Countless outstanding science and engineering talents were killed in vain by the bullets of the invaders.
Feng Yong gritted his teeth and said: "Withdrawing to the pass? That's an escape! A good man must want to serve his country. I, a student of Feng Yong University, must not become a deserter! If the Japanese come, I will be the first to fight!"
Zhou Hexuan remained silent, unable to persuade him. 8
