Chapter 112 Taking over Tianjin (4)

After the project issue is resolved, the next step is to establish a clothing factory, school, and recruitment.

The address of the clothing factory is located in a two-story building next to Gordon Hall. The building covers an area of ​​about 800 square meters. The first floor is a factory building, and the second floor is an office and an employee dormitory. Half of the building is a loft and a terrace. It can be used as a warehouse and a drying area. There is also a large open space behind the building. In addition, in Gordon Hall, you can also consider connecting a wire from Gordon Hall to ensure the production of lighting.

After crossing the army to capture the concession, the building remained empty. According to the owner's escape from the concession, he was directly requisitioned.

The employees of the clothing factory first considered the first batch of naturalized women among the people, who were time travelers. During Dagukou, some women had arranged to make clothes, and then recruited them from Tianjin City and the Concession. However, there are no machines now, so they are made by hand for the time being.

The establishment of the school was discussed and finally decided to divide the school into two parts: one is a normal school, that is, it recruits minors and conducts systematic learning.

By this time, the Travel Group had hosted 18 minors, including 147 boys and 6 girls, the oldest was 14 years old and the most was 10 years old. Now there are about 10,000 Chinese people in Tianjin and the concessions, and about 10,000 minors of the age. Although there is no policy of compulsory education yet, if someone sends a girl to school, it will of course be accepted, so there are not a small number of students.

The school’s address is located in Zizhulin Church. This church was built in 187, also known as St. Louis Church. It is located outside the intersection of Baotutu Road (Yingkou Road) and Heba Road (Zhang Zizhong Road). It covers an area of ​​6.8 acres and has a construction area of ​​779 square meters. It is a blue brick and wood structure, decorated with traditional Chinese brick carvings. It has a towering and elegant appearance and elegant interior furnishings. This is also the largest and highest-level church in the Tianjin Concession. Most of the people entering and leaving the church are foreigners with status and Chinese believers, and it is difficult for ordinary believers to join it. In the old time and space, this church still exists.

During the Boxer Rebellion, Western churches became the first target of the Boxer Rebellion. Most of the churches in urban and rural areas in Tianjin were burned down, while Zizhulin Church survived because of its geographical location in the concession and became a refuge for believers and refugees from all over the country. At the most, there were as many as 2,000 Chinese and foreign disciples. When the time travelers first occupied the concession, they placed some of the residences in Zizhulin Church, with about 2,000 people. Now they are all released, and there are only dozens of foreign monks and some nuns left in the church.

Although time travelers will not use the church as a target of heavy blow like the Boxer Rebellion, they will never allow the Catholic Church to develop missionary work within their controlled areas. This is not that time travelers will prohibit Catholicism. In fact, there are many Catholics within the time travel group, but Catholicism must be included in their own control.

In the old time and space, the Chinese Catholic Church had a total of 100 dioceses, open churches, 5,000 clubs, and nearly 6 million believers. However, until the time of travel, China had not established diplomatic relations with the Vatican headquarters, the Vatican. Theoretically, all Catholic churches in China were not recognized by the Vatican. The main obstacle to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vatican was the form of appointment of Chinese bishops. China only accepted the appointment of Chinese bishops from the Vatican form, but needed the substantive consent of the Chinese government. Otherwise, the unilateral appointment would be invalid and illegal, and this condition was obviously unacceptable to the Vatican.

Of course, from another perspective, without the appointment of the Vatican, the Catholic Church in China can still develop well, and this is also the attitude of time travelers towards Catholicism in this time and space. It’s just that it is not the time to express their religious opinions, but churches in the Tianjin Concession will not be open to the public for a considerable period of time.

However, churches like Zizhulin Church with complete facilities and a considerable scale, it is obviously too wasteful to let foreign monks live in this way. It is naturally good to use them as school use. However, because nowadays, students are still mainly orphans. They not only need a place to attend classes, but also have enough rooms to live, as well as other matching living settings. Zizhulin Church certainly meets this condition, but they do not consider urging the school for the time being.

The candidates for teachers have been determined. Colonel Fang Bin served as the principal, because there are not many professional teachers among the time travelers, and Colonel Fang Bin is also a genuine professor at the National Defense University. This qualification is naturally the highest among all time travelers. He is the principal, so it is legitimate. Colonel Fang did not refuse, and only put forward one condition. He can only serve as the reserve team and cannot be abandoned.

There were 16 teachers in the first batch, eight men and eight women. They were recruited publicly, signed up voluntarily, and then screened out. Three of them also held teacher certificates, and the rest also had experience in teaching and teaching in training institutions or in their units. Because Fang Bin only served as the principal, he also arranged a deputy.

It is too late to compile textbooks now. Fortunately, I found several middle school textbooks from the old time and space among time travelers. Although they cannot be used directly, they can also be used as references to write textbooks while teaching.

However, the name of the school is very unsuccessful, and it is called Hope School, because the interim executive committee does not pay much attention to the name of the school. It believes that the name of Hope School is very good, and believes that this represents the future of the Time Travel Group, and it is also the future of China in this time and space. This has also become one of the things that were complained about by Time Travelers for a long time.

Of course, some people also suggested that minors among time travelers also study in Hope School, but they were quickly rejected because the Hope School starts with the most basic teaching, that is, from learning and teaching. Most of the minors among time travelers have higher education degrees, which are actually not suitable for learning in Hope School. Moreover, most of the non-military personnel still live on three passenger boats, and there are less than 400 people living in the Tianjin Concession. If minors among time travelers are allowed to study in Hope School, then how will their parents arrange their arrangements? If their parents are asked to follow them, they will add a lot of work. After all, they have to arrange residence, work, and life for them. If their parents do not come, will they be able to make their parents feel at ease? Therefore, they finally decided to forget that those who should stay in Dagukou or still stay in Dagukou, and wait until a formal base is established in Shandong.

Another type of school is for adults, and it is mainly for the naturalized people of the Time Travel Group and the army they will recruit in the future. Because the Time Travel Group wants to establish a modern country, it requires not a group of rude men who know nothing, but people with a certain level of knowledge. Therefore, it is also very important to improve the education level of the people.

However, education for adults cannot be carried out systematically like minors. After all, adults still need to work, so they adopt a model similar to the night-large model in the old time and space, and use the spare time at night to teach them some basic knowledge, at least they can do basic reading, writing and calculations. Moreover, this teaching model will also be promoted to all industrial workers in the future. Of course, if there are people who hope to further their studies, they will arrange other opportunities in the future.

The name of the school for adults is not too exaggerated, it is called the Workers' Night School. The address is located in the former Zizhulin Military Camp. Originally, it was used as a naturalized homestay for the Time Travel Group so that these naturalized people can attend classes nearby. It is not far from Zizhulin Church, which can facilitate teachers' contact.

The recruitment work will also be officially launched. Of course, the operation of the whole is considered by the Military Commission and will not be discussed too much in the Interim Executive Committee.

In addition, although the staff who participated in the concession project, education and service are now free, they also recorded the working hours of each person. After the salary standard is formulated, they will be calculated.

The next issue is the management of rural areas.

To this end, although the Time Travel Group has completely controlled the Tianjin area, the main scope of activities of the Time Travelers is still in the Tianjin city and the Concession area, and has not yet expanded to the surrounding rural areas. However, although the commercial economy in the Tianjin area is developed, the rural population still accounts for more than half. Therefore, the Time Travel Group cannot let the countryside ignore it. After the Tianjin city and the Concession area stabilized, the management of rural areas will naturally be put on the issue.

In addition, China is still a major agricultural country with rural and rural populations accounting for the vast majority. The goal of time travelers is to unify the whole of China and establish a republic. Then it is necessary to establish a plan to manage rural areas. In the old time and space, the experience of rural surrounding cities was not forgotten by the time travelers, and this experience is also effective in this time and space.

However, the experience of the old time and space is just a principled experience. Whether it can be completely grafted into this time and space is not certain. After all, the age of this time and space and the old time and space is almost thirty years different. Although the difference in social structure is not very big, both the domestic and foreign environments are obviously very different, and Tianjin also has certain special features. On the other hand, the experience of time travelers does not have much rural experience. Even if some people come from the countryside, the rural areas in the old time and space are obviously incomparable to the countryside and the rural areas in the time and space. Then they do not understand the rural situation in this time and space. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a test of the countryside and understand the rural situation in Tianjin so as to decide on the plan to manage the countryside.
