144 Reissue
Early in the morning, in the men's dormitory area of the literary newspaper, more than 30 children between the ages of six and twelve were practicing boxing in a neat and orderly manner with standard horse steps.
I saw these children practicing boxing in unison, and every time they punched, they would let out a loud shout in unison, which looked full of momentum.
"The head must be straight, the body must be straight, the punch must be crisp and powerful, and the mud and water must not be dragged with mud and water. Ten more times. ”
A muscular, dark-skinned man in his thirties was talking aloud with a serious expression as he walked back and forth.
Whenever I see a child with an incorrect posture, I will personally help him correct it.
If people who don't know see this scene, they will definitely think that this is a martial arts hall.
In addition to the men's dormitory, on the other side of the women's dormitory, four girls of about ten years old were also practicing boxing with their horses, but they were taught by a young woman of twenty-five or sixteen.
When Chi Fei came in, he happened to see the child practicing boxing.
He didn't bother them, just stood quietly and watched from a short distance.
The man's name was Peng Daqiang, and the young woman was his wife, Qi Guifang, and they also had a five-year-old child.
The two were originally brother and sister, and after they got married, they opened a martial arts gym in Yiyang County to teach people to practice martial arts for a living.
Later, with the great drought in the north and the invasion of the Hu people, their martial arts hall was also burned down in the war.
In order to escape, the couple had to follow the displaced people to the south, and finally came to the capital.
After the war in the north ended, they originally wanted to go back to Yiyang County to start over, but their children fell ill at this time.
After the doctor's diagnosis, he said that their children had been injured due to their previous upheaval and needed to recuperate, otherwise they would have to worry about their lives.
In order to treat their children, they had to stay in the capital temporarily to earn a living.
Since they had no relatives in the capital, Peng Daqiang had to rely on moving goods at the dock to support the family's livelihood.
However, moving goods at the dock can make a few bucks, and too many people are rushing to do the work, and the wages are pressed by the shipowner again and again.
As a result, after more than a year, not only did he not make any money, but even his savings over the years were spent cleanly because of the medical treatment and medicine for his children. In the end, he couldn't even pay the rent and was kicked out by the landlord.
When Chi Fei met them, Peng Daqiang was making money on the street by beating other people's fists. Anyone can punch him for ten pennies to vent his anger.
And his wife, Qi Guifang, could only stand aside and hold her sick child, watching her husband being beaten arbitrarily with tears in her eyes and pain.
Seeing a martial arts practitioner fall into such a field, Chi Fei, who is also a martial arts practitioner, couldn't stand it, so he stopped those people out of his voice, and then asked Peng Daqiang and his wife why they were like this.
After listening to Peng Daqiang's story, Chi Fei's heart moved, and he felt that maybe they could let the couple be the children's masters and nurses, so that Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu didn't have to move to the newspaper office and could continue to live in the courtyard.
So Chi Fei proposed that he want to ask them to return to the club to be a master and nurse who teaches children to practice martial arts. At that time, they will not only be able to live in the dormitory of the newspaper office, but they will also be paid according to the wages of the official nursing homes in the capital.
In addition, Chi Fei didn't want to hide them, so he made his grievances with King Fu clear, and asked them to think clearly about whether to help him do things.
The couple was really desperate, where could they care about the king of fortune and the king of woe, and they quickly agreed.
So Peng Daqiang and his wife lived in the dormitory of the newspaper office.
Chi Fei knew that they were in a hurry to use money to treat the child, so without waiting for Peng Daqiang to speak, he took the initiative to borrow him thirty taels of silver for him to treat the child.
The couple was grateful and knelt down to kowtow to him on the spot. Chi Fei hurriedly stopped them and asked them to take the child to the doctor quickly.
This is why Peng Daqiang and his wife are here.
Sometimes Chi Fei can't help but feel that his newspaper can be said to be a homeless home.
Including Su Zhen, the original owner of the body, all of them were refugees who came to the capital from the north to beg for a living, but they came from different prefectures and counties.
Although he promised to let Peng Daqiang and his wife stay, Chi Fei has always been cautious, worried about whether the couple really came from Yiyang County as they said, so he still spent money to buy a household registration official to investigate their details.
The final result of the investigation was that they had indeed come to the capital with the displaced people, and had applied for a white certificate a year earlier, and the information recorded on it was basically the same as what they said.
At this point, Chi Fei finally dared to use them with confidence.
Due to the addition of Peng Daqiang and his wife, not only did Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu not have to move to the newspaper office, but Zhang Xiao'e, who is usually responsible for cooking a big pot of rice, was suddenly much more relaxed because of Qi Guifang's skilled helper.
After the hour, that is, at about 8 o'clock in the morning, Peng Daqiang asked the children to dismiss and go to breakfast.
The children immediately cheered and ran to the cafeteria.
"Good morning, Master Peng." Chi Fei saw that they had finished practicing, so he came over to greet Peng Daqiang.
"Good morning, host." Peng Daqiang immediately saluted him respectfully.
Chi Fei returned the salute and said, "It's hard to teach so many children to practice martial arts at the same time." ”
"It's not hard at all, the owner is polite."
"How are your children doing, are they feeling better?"
"My son's condition has stabilized after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Yi'an Tang for a few days, and I thank the owner for coming to the rescue." Peng Daqiang thanked him very gratefully.
He is really grateful to the owner from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for the money that the owner lent him so generously for medical treatment, his son's condition might have worsened.
"In the future, everyone will be their own people, so there is no need to say this kind of polite words.
You husband and wife come to our newspaper to work, which can be regarded as a kind of fate, and the children will be troublesome in the future. ”
"Please rest assured that our husband and wife will definitely teach and protect them."
"Then I'm relieved. You haven't had breakfast yet, so let's go to the cafeteria together. ”
"Okay, owner, please."
When Chi Fei came to the cafeteria, as soon as the children saw him, they immediately got up and saluted him together, and shouted in unison, "Hello, sir."
Chi Fei first asked them to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Isn't it very hard to practice martial arts, is there anyone who is afraid?" ”
"No, we're not afraid of hard work at all."
"It's not hard, it's not hard at all."
"I've wanted to practice martial arts for a long time, but I haven't been able to find a master, thank you so much for this time."
"Although Master Peng is a little stricter, he is a good person, sir."
The children babbled.
They are really not afraid of hard work, because they were bullied by too many people when they were beggars before. Now there is a rare opportunity to practice martial arts, and each of them cherishes it very much, where do they dare to dislike this or that.
"Work hard now, and no one will dare to bully you in the future.
But you have to remember that I let you practice martial arts, not let you fight hard.
Only one day when you are bullied to the head, you can do it as a last resort, do you hear clearly? ”
"Yes, sir."
"Alright, you guys hurry up and go to breakfast, and we will start work in a minute. Go ahead. ”
Only then did the children automatically and consciously line up to serve porridge and steamed buns, and then eat happily.
At this time, a child about ten years old came up to me and asked, "Sir, can I also practice martial arts?" ”
Chi Fei recognized him as the kid Tie Dan who had been lame in his right leg before, after more than three months of continuous medicine and recuperation, his right leg has improved a lot, as long as he doesn't walk fast, he can't see that his right leg has been lame.
Chi Fei touched his head and said, "The doctor said that your leg needs to be recuperated for more than half a year to heal, and it is only a few months away." It's not too late to wait until your legs are completely healed before you practice, so there's no need to rush. ”
"Oh." Iron Egg sighed in disappointment.
Chi Fei smiled: "What are you sighing at a young age, how do you recognize the words?" Have you finished learning the thousand-word essay? ”
"Mr. Hui, I have finished learning the thousand-character text, and now I am working as a character picking apprentice in the factory."
"Study hard, you will have a salary when you leave school, and you can buy whatever you want to eat."
"Yes, sir, I will definitely try." Iron Egg immediately perked up.
After Tie Dan walked away happily, Peng Daqiang couldn't help but sigh: "The owner is really a bodhisattva, not only saved so many children, but also arranged a way back for them. ”
Chi Fei smiled and said, "Including me, everyone here is from a homeless background, and it is not easy for everyone to survive to this day."
If you really have the heart to do it, it's okay, since you have the spare power, you should always help if you can.
Maybe one day when I'm in trouble, someone will come to my aid. ”
"The Dong family is so good, they will definitely be able to live a long life without worry."
"A hundred years is too long, it's enough to live to almost one. Let's eat it while it's hot. ”
"Yes, host."
…………………………
"Literary newspapers, literary newspapers, the latest issue of literary newspapers, everyone come and buy it."
"Literary Revenge Journal, Literary Revenge Journal, Latest Issue of Literary Newspaper, Literary Newspaper."
One morning, similar cries of selling continued to sound on the streets of the capital.
It's just that unlike before, this time it's not the same children as before, but adults between the ages of 20 and 40.
Although the hawkers had changed, many literate passers-by immediately stopped when they heard their shouts, and then walked over to buy a newspaper in their hand.
Many people opened it and saw that it was really a literary newspaper that had not been seen for a long time, which made many old readers excited.
From this day on, the news of the Literary Revenge Journal quickly spread throughout the capital.
Regardless of whether they have bought a literary newspaper before or not, almost everyone will be extremely curious to buy a copy and read it.
There is no way, too many people know the facts that happened in the literary newspaper before, and everyone thinks that the literary newspaper will stop publication.
But no one expected that only two months later, the Literary Newspaper would resume publication, which was really unexpected by everyone.
After the resumption of the literary newspaper, there are still many serials as before, the most eye-catching of which is, of course, Mr. Chi Fei's "Rebirth".
It's just that some attentive readers found that most of the originally dense commercials have disappeared, and only a dozen or so remain.
As Chi Fei expected, most merchants did not dare to advertise in the literary newspaper, so as not to be hated by King Fu.
Before the resumption of publication, Chi Fei sent Zhang Xiao'e to ask each merchant whose advertisement had not expired one by one, and only after getting a clear answer from the other party did he remove the relevant advertisement.
Not only commercial advertisements, but many bookstores no longer dare to let literary newspapers be consigned, for the same reason, for fear of offending King Fu.
All this was expected by Chi Fei, so it was not surprising.
But to his surprise, the dozen or so merchant members of the Soap Industry Chamber of Commerce did not ask for the ads to be removed.
In order not to cause them trouble, Chi Fei also specially reminded them that it was best to temporarily remove the advertisements of their trading houses from the shelves, so as not to offend King Fu.
But these big businessmen said with a mysterious smile that it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Chi Fei deduced that they must have received the news and knew that Zhen Guogong had already married his youngest daughter to him, otherwise there would be no such reaction.
It is true that these big businessmen have their own backs behind them, and many of them are still powerful people in Beijing, so they are very well informed, and they have long known about this major event that happened in the upper class society in the capital.
In their opinion, since Chi Fei has already fallen on the towering tree of Zhenguo Gong, what else is there to worry about in the future.
What should be worried now should be the Fu King, so these big businessmen do not plan to take down the advertisements of the literary newspaper. This is also a manifestation of an attitude to maintain a good relationship with Chi Fei, the son-in-law of the future Zhenguo.
You must know that there are many people in the capital who want to climb the line of Zhenguo Mansion, but Zhenguo Gong has always been low-key and never forms a party for personal gain, so many talents have nothing to do.
And Chi Fei is now the future son-in-law of the Zhenguo Prince, and being able to have a good relationship with him can be regarded as a way to reluctantly get in touch with the Zhenguo Mansion, so these big businessmen will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.
Only ordinary businessmen who knew nothing and did not understand the stakes would be in a hurry to remove the advertisements and disassociate themselves with the literary newspaper, so as not to offend King Fu.
Next, according to the original plan, Chi Fei found a group of adults between the ages of 20 and 40 who had no formal jobs for the time being, and asked them to sell literary newspapers along the street instead of the newsboys.
Chi Fei told them in advance that there was no fixed salary for this job, only a commission.
For every newspaper sold, you get two pennies, the same as the previous bookstores' commission.
After learning that it was a literary newspaper to be sold, most people did not dare to take the job for fear of offending King Fu.
But there are still many men like Peng Daqiang who can't find a job and are waiting to buy rice for the pot at home, and finally more than a dozen men decided to take the risk.
When they took the job, they realized that it was not an ordinary job to make money.
Because the republished literary newspaper was so easy to sell, they just called casually on the street, and soon a large number of people came to them to buy it.
This is where the difference in productivity between adults and children becomes apparent.
In order to make more money, the men ran to the newspaper office to get new newspapers as soon as they sold out. Once you get it, you run farther away, trying to sell as much as you can.
At the end of the day, many of them sold hundreds or even thousands of copies, which was simply a doubling of their money.
Looking at the full money bag, it's not like no one has ever used their crooked brains to just take the money and leave.
But soon these people dispelled this greedy idea.
As soon as they came to their address, all the people in Malaysia knew it, and it was easy to find it.
Second, about the proprietor of the literary newspaper, they have also heard that he is a person who is not easy to mess with. Even a big man like King Fu suffered under him, where could such a person be offended by ordinary people.
When it was time to settle the bill and divide the money, many people were overjoyed to see that there were so many commissions in their hands, and they all said that they would definitely come back tomorrow.
Driven by the interests of high commissions, these dozen men ran all over the capital and sold very diligently.
In just three days, they sold 17,000 copies of the newspaper, which was on par with the original sales and even increased slightly.
Although each of these men in charge of selling newspapers was too tired, when they saw such money being distributed to them every evening when they checked out, they suddenly forgot about their fatigue and felt that it was all worth it.
As for the printing house, those apprentices who had previously learned to print and pick words from the old masters have now become the main force, and they are responsible for picking words and printing newspapers throughout the process.
As for the children who were originally responsible for selling newspapers, they became new apprentices and began to learn printing and picking words from these older children who had already graduated from the school.
Considering that these children were all novices, Chi Fei gave them plenty of time to print before resuming the issue.
The goods that are being sold now, as well as the new issue of the literary newspaper that will be released in two days, are all printed before.
Now they are printing the next issue of the newspaper, and there is plenty of time.
Seeing that the sales of this issue of the literary newspaper did not decrease but increased, Chi Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
He was originally worried that he would not be able to sell so many at once, but now it seems that he is worried in vain.
In this way, regardless of whether some people were willing to accept it, the literary newspaper, which had been suspended for more than two months, resumed publication and once again swept the entire capital.
