Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety First Pull the Pole
"I'm the eldest, and I just got married, so I really can't leave." Shen Long replied, and Guo Songling also expressed his understanding. Nowadays, most of the eldest sons stay at home, and the rest of the children wander outside. There are many situations like what he said.
After talking about himself, Shen Long asked about Guo Songling's family. Guo's family migrated to Kanto in the late Ming Dynasty. Their ancestral home is Fenyang, Shanxi. The genealogy can be traced back to Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang. When I was studying in the provincial capital, I came into contact with some western learning, so I have today's knowledge.
"We came to the Northeast from Shandong. We just came to Fengtian, and we don't know what's going on in the elementary school. Can Maochen tell us about it?" Shen Long asked about the situation in the elementary school.
"The school was planned and opened by General Zhao. This year, the military training office and the Ministry of War drafted the "Army Primary School Regulations" and began to set up army primary schools in various provinces across the country. General Zhao also responded to the call of the imperial court..." Guo Songling talked about the reason for the primary school. Then he talked about the school's teaching staff and learning content.
"The school imitated the method of training soldiers of foreigners, and invited many teachers who had returned from overseas to serve. I heard that Mr. Fang Shengtao, who graduated from the Zhenwu Academy in Tokyo, might come to Fengtian to teach from the Yunnan Lecture Hall..."
The name Fang Shengtao caught Shen Long’s attention. According to Guo Songling’s biography, it was through Fang Shengtao’s influence that he came into contact with revolutionary ideas. Mr. Fang has come to the school, you have to learn from Mr. Fang."
Tokyo Zhenwu Academy has helped the Republic of China to train a lot of talents, in addition to the famous Chang Kaishen, there are also Cai E, He Yingqin, Yan Xishan, Tang Jiyao, Li Liejun, Cheng Qian and so on.
Fang Shengtao is not an unknown person. In the future, he used to be the brigade commander under Li Liejun, the mayor of the Guangdong and Yunnan Army, the commander of the Guangzhou Garrison, and the chief of staff of Sun Wen; Great student, if Chuan Wu can study under his name, wouldn't he become the Marshal's fellow apprentice in the future?
During the few days of waiting for the exam, apart from supervising and reviewing the martial arts, Shen Long chatted with Guo Songling. After a few days, Guo Songling admired Shen Long.
The results of the exam were announced. Guo Songling passed with a high score. Zhu Chuanwu's grades were not as good as Guo Songling's, but he also reached the admission line and was able to successfully enter the Fengtian Army Primary School.
Things have been done, Shen Long left a sum of money for Chuanwu, so that he doesn't have to worry about expenses, if he is short of money, he writes to himself, saying that he will ask the caravan to give him a little money, and drink with Chuanwu and Guo Songling After drinking, Shen Long was ready to go back.
On the day of going back, Chuanwu and Guo Songling sent Shen Long out of the city all the way, Guo Songling held his hand reluctantly, "Chuanwen, listening to you explain the situation in the Northeast these few days, it can be said to see the sun behind the clouds, let me learn a lot , if school is not about to start soon,
I can't wait to go back to Sanjiangkou with you, to hear more from you. "
"When the school is on holiday, I will go to Sanjiangkou with Brother Chuanwu to continue to ask you for advice. Don't be disgusted." Guo Songling wanted to come to him.
"Of course it's something you can't wish for. Chuanwu has a bit of a temper. I'm counting on Maochen to take care of you in the school in the future!" Shen Long entrusted Zhu Chuanwu to Guo Songling, and the future adjutant became Guo Songling's classmate.
"Brother Chuanwu's martial arts marksmanship is much better than mine, and I will have to ask Brother Chuanwu for advice in the future." Guo Songling agreed without hesitation.
Shen Long left Chunhesheng's address to Guo Songling, and asked him, Chuanwu and himself to keep in touch with each other, then bid farewell to the two of them, boarded the caravan of the caravan, and headed for Yuanbao Town, Sanjiangkou.
After traveling for a thousand miles, it took several days to arrive. When we returned to Fangniugou, it was almost autumn. Autumn is the harvest season, and the grain planted by the old Zhu’s family was about to be harvested; The crops are good, and the food in the family grows better than other families.
Looking at the harvest of grain, Zhu Kaishan felt elated, "You came back just in time, and when the grain in the field is harvested, this year will be a good year."
"We will plant the Wuyang land again next year. Our old Zhu's family may not be able to eat all the food." Wen Ta Niang was also very happy. The year before, she was still starving in her hometown. Yin eats others, and this change made her quite emotional, "Hey, I don't know what's going on with my in-laws. Did they receive the food and money we entrusted to send over?"
"Don't worry, I'm a reliable old brother, I've definitely received it; after the new year, we have to make a few more sets of plows and buy a few more large animals." Zhu Kaishan said, the newly purchased land was only loosened before the soil was loosened. , You can start farming directly next year.
"It's a good harvest, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing." Shen Long took the opportunity to bring up a topic. Autumn is the season for farmers to harvest grain and merchants to trade goods. It is also the peak season for bandits to do business.
In this part of Kanto, from the autumn harvest to the next year’s Lunar New Year, because during this period farmers and businessmen exchange frequently and have a lot of liquidity, so the bandits naturally set their sights on it and go down the mountain to rob every season. .
And during Chinese New Year, it’s the off-season for bandits. Everyone hides at home. The winter in Kanto is so cold. If you go out to rob again, you’ll freeze to death; so the bandit leader will give money to the minions. , Then give the minions a holiday, go home to visit relatives, wait until the next peak season, the bandit leader will call everyone back to the team.
Speaking of this, Wen Ta Niang was still at a loss, but Zhu Kaishan frowned. He has settled in the east of the pass for several years, and he is very clear about the banditry in autumn and winter every year. On the way to buy things in Yuanbao Town a few days ago, I just saw bandits' eyeliner looking around for something, maybe there will be another wave after a while.
After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Wen and Xian'er went to the kitchen to clean up. Shen Long told Zhu Chuanwen his plan, "I plan to recruit an insurance team in Yuanbao Town."
At this time, Yuanbao Town needs the protection of the insurance team. Once it can attract people, it can at least collect a thousand dollars. After removing the necessary expenses, there will be a lot left. This is a big deal.
Zhu Kaishan's eyebrows twitched again, "You always say that Chuanwu is restless, I think you are the most restless one in the family!" He was a little displeased with Zhu Chuanwen's timid look, but it turned into this picture However, Zhu Kaishan began to miss that obedient child again.
"I've already inquired. There are no powerful poles around Yuanbao Town. As long as you call dozens of people, you can protect the safety of Yuanbao Town." Shen Long was full of confidence.
