At this time, Zhao Ping's holiday ended, so he returned to Qingdao with Zhao Weizhong. One night before leaving, Qiu Qing blushed and gave Zhao Ping a cotton coat he made overnight, which made Zhao Ping feel warm. Although the marriage was settled, Qiu Qing was thin-skinned and afraid of laughter from her family. Therefore, she has been deliberately avoiding Zhao Ping these days, because the two of them were alone, Zhao Ping was also a little depressed. However, this cotton coat completely resolved the little grudge in Zhao Ping's heart, and the gains from this holiday were indeed huge.

Zhao Shuilan, Qiuqing and other members of the Zhao family kept sending them to the dock, and then said goodbye, until the ship started, and still stood at the dock for a long time and refused to leave. Zhao Ping also stood on the side of the boat, until he could not see the shore and went back to the cabin to rest.

After a night of sailing, the ship arrived at Qingdao Port. Zhao Weizhong had three shops in Qingdao and hired more than 30 staff members, so someone had arranged a residence in Qingdao for him and prepared a carriage and horse to the dock to greet them. So Zhao Ping and Zhao Weizhong said goodbye and returned to the military camp to report.

After returning to the military camp, Zhao Ping first went to the ship pick-up work group to complete his reporting procedures, and then returned to his dormitory to rest. At this time, He Xin had already come back first. The two greeted each other and He Xin said, "You don't need to take out your luggage. We will set off for Germany tomorrow. Then, just carry the box and leave to avoid trouble."

Zhao Ping nodded and said, "That's right, and he put the box directly into the cabinet." Then he asked, "How was your blind date when you went home this time? Have you met anyone?"

He Xin smiled "hehe" and took out a photo from his pocket, handed it to Zhao Ping and said, "How do you see?"

Zhao Ping took the photo and saw it. It was a half-body photo of a young girl. She was about 17 or 8 years old. Although she was not beautiful, her eyebrows were quite quiet and delicate. She had a short and medium-short hair in the middle, neat bangs on her forehead, and was wearing a light-colored top. She had no embroidery on her clothes. She had a standing collar and was covered with the right front. She was pinched to the waist with her belly, her sleeves were wide open over her elbows, and she was slit in the mouth. Although it was a white and black photo, the color was not visible, but the hairstyle and clothing were all popular female student outfits in Tianjin, Qingdao and other places.

Of course, this was first launched by Hope School, which was run by overseas Chinese. In fact, it was a female student uniform designed by time travelers in imitating student costumes in the Republic of China. Although this outfit was criticized by many old and young people, many old and old literati accused the female student uniforms of being indifferent, inhumane, etc., the time travelers were unmoved at all and still insisted on female students wearing this outfit, and were led by the teacher in charge. With the stability of the rule of time travelers, this female student uniform was gradually accepted by the society, and it became the most popular fashion for young women in Tianjin, Qingdao and other places.

So Zhao Ping said: "Is it a female student?"

He Xin nodded and said proudly: "I just graduated this year and stayed in school now as a teacher."

It turns out that my son is not his parents. He Xin did not succeed in his second blind date. He Xin's mother didn't understand her son's requirements, so she asked someone to ask if there was a girl who had attended the new school. Since she worked in a government agency, there was a lot of information about this. I soon found out that the girl was named Yang Yuping, an older orphan who was taken in by a time traveler when he first occupied Tianjin. She studied in Hope School for almost two years and mastered a certain amount of cultural knowledge. Since she was 18 years old, she graduated from school, but was stayed at school as an intern teacher. While teaching the basic knowledge of young students, she continued to study and further studies.

After learning this information, He Xin's old lady immediately asked someone to talk to her about marriage. When the girl heard that she was a captain of the People's Army, she was a little moved because she had a good impression of the People's Army, so she agreed to meet.

After the two met, they both felt good about each other, and He Xin was of course satisfied with the woman. Although He Xin was from the bottom of society, after nearly two years of training in the navy, his whole spiritual temperament changed greatly. Because he was wearing a dark blue naval uniform, he could not tell that he was from a peasant. After all, "the army land, the navy and the ocean" was not in vain. In addition, both of them received education from time travelers, so they had many common topics. Moreover, the woman was an orphan, so she didn't want to delay for a long time, so she decided on the big thing after meeting and just waited for He Xin to come back from Germany to hold the wedding.

After listening to He Xin's introduction, Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should take a photo with Qiu Qing when he was in Tianjin, so that he could look at the photos without any trouble and also had a sustenance. However, he was also happy for He Xin.

The next morning, the ship pick-up working group gathered and held a simple departure ceremony before departure. Navy Minister Shang Jinfeng visited the working group specifically and delivered a speech, telling every member that this was the first time the People's Army had carried out a mission abroad. He required every soldier to consciously protect the image of the People's Army and the East China government, show Germany the good looks of Chinese soldiers, respect discipline, obey management, and pay attention to their words and deeds. He also trains hard and studies hard to become familiar with the warships as soon as possible and form actual combat effectiveness.

These words were not a formality. In August 1886, the Beiyang Navy visited Nagasaki, Japan. Some Beiyang Navy sailors violated military discipline and went to local brothels to seek pleasure and fought heavily. They had a serious conflict with the police who rushed to hear the news, resulting in the Beiyang Navy being beaten to death, six seriously injured, 38 slightly injured, and five missing. One Japanese policeman was also beaten to death, and 30 injured. This was the famous "Nasaki Incident" at that time. Although it ended with Japanese compensation, to be fair, it was indeed the Beiyang Navy's sailors who were wrong first. Piaoji, alcoholism and fighting were unreasonable there. Later, some people believed that the Nagasaki incident showed that the Beiyang Navy's military discipline was lax and the generals were not strict, which laid the foreshadowing of the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War.

This time I went to Germany, not only to receive two warships, but also other cooperation matters determined before must be implemented one by one. First, the next batch of shipbuilding plans. The five-year shipbuilding plan of the Navy is implemented in steps according to economic conditions. Now the first stage is basically over. Due to the good financial situation this year, the second batch of shipbuilding plans can be launched, and two 7,000-ton medium-sized armored cruisers and two large armored cruisers of 10,000-ton, one of which is built in Germany, and the other is still provided by Germany.

Equipment and guidance are built in China. Of course, this requires a renegotiation of a shipbuilding contract with Germany; secondly, Germany entrusts the East China government to modify the design of the two protective cruisers under construction, and can be handed over to Germany; finally, it is necessary to examine the comprehensive fire control platform jointly produced by both parties, the progress of steam turbines, and some economic and commercial cooperation. Therefore, regardless of whether the defeat of Sino-Japanese War of 1895 has a causal relationship with the Nagasaki incident, the East China government will never allow similar events in Germany, which will cause the relationship between the two sides to regress. Shang Jinfeng also sounded a wake-up call in advance.

After the ceremony, the members of the ship pick-up work group boarded two passenger ships, and there was also a passenger ship set out with them. This was led by the government vice chairman Xu Jichao and the business committee member Ye Yanfu to participate in the official opening of the Shanghai New District Commercial Center. The ship pick-up work group also stayed in Shanghai for two days to assist the Shanghai New District government in completing the opening activities before officially going to Germany.

The three passenger ships sounded their whistles and slowly sailed out of the port. After a day of sailing, they arrived at the sea surface of Shanghai the next morning, and drove straight into the estuary of the Yangtze River, entered the Huangpu River, and docked at the dock that had just been built in Shanghai New District.

Since the Shanghai New District is located in the lower reaches of the Huangpu River, it is closer to the entrance of the Yangtze River than the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession. Although it deviates from the central area of ​​Shanghai, it is more convenient for ships to dock. Moreover, the water depth of the Huangpu River is relatively large, and ships with larger tonnage can be parked. Now 4 berths have been built at the wharf, and 8 more berths will be built, becoming the largest wharf on the Huangpu River.

The Shanghai New District has been established for more than a year. During this period, the Shanghai New District has not only built a dock, but has now built three dormitory buildings, two large buildings covering an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters, of course, only two floors high, and some two floors. Otherwise, it would not have been completed so quickly. There are also two functional supporting buildings. The municipal setting includes a main road connected to the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession, 3 secondary roads, as well as parking lots, stations, etc., and 4 secondary roads are under construction. Yang Yuxin, the head of the Shanghai New District, also negotiated an agreement on free exchanges with the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession.

According to the plan, the commercial center will establish a large theater, two medium-sized theaters, one large singing and dancing, 8 private rooms, one shopping center, and one catering center. Among them, there are about 100 commercial shops and 30 catering shops. They are basically arranged in the style of large shopping malls in the old time and space, but the cinema is located in the most prominent position. The main thing is to use the huge influence of the movie to drive the development of the Shanghai New District.

In addition, 6 and 7 buildings have been built around the commercial center, and more than 10 buildings are under construction. These buildings were not built by the East China government, but were invested by Shanghai merchants in the Shanghai New District. A building community covering an area of ​​about 5 square kilometers has been formed.

In order to attract investment, the Shanghai New District Government stipulates that investors who build their own houses in the Shanghai New District will enjoy a series of preferential policies such as 3-year land rent free, halving the land rent for three years, tax cuts, and renting shops at low prices in commercial centers. Therefore, it has attracted many people. Now, there are 17 merchants who have been confirmed to invest in the Shanghai New District, including 3 foreign merchants, and more than 30 merchants, including more than 10 foreign merchants, and are negotiating with the Shanghai New District Government Business Office to negotiate on building investment in the Shanghai New District.
