Jingwei Building, private room.

Feng Million "declined" everyone's suggestion to persuade him to go to Feng Shuai's Mansion, and asked someone to beckon Xiao Er to come in: "Is the old shopkeeper here?" If you are here, please ask Master Guo to see him, and say that his old friend Feng Zhaoyang is here! ”

Xiao Er answered and went down to speak.

The restaurant business, entertaining guests and friends from all over the world, has a wide range of friends.

This old man Feng is dressed simply, but he can sit in the main seat, and the others are like stars holding the moon, with different identities, and Xiao Erzi does not dare to slack off.

Mr. Guo had already gotten the news and knew that the private room had come to Yangzhou as a "distinguished guest".

As for whether he came forward to say hello, he did not hesitate.

Yangzhou is now a hot yam, and it is not easy to get wet.

Waiting for Xiao Er to come over to pass the word, Master Guo couldn't help frowning.

The Feng family's private restaurant in Yangzhou to entertain guests has Master Guo's brother in it.

are all in Huainan, in the early years, he had a face-to-face with Feng Wanwan, the president of the Huainan Chamber of Commerce, but they were just nodding friends, and they were really not "old friends".

In the end, it is a huge wealth in the world, and when the other party arrived at Jingwei Building, he took the initiative to invite him, and it was not easy for Master Guo, the owner, not to come forward.

Master Guo did not delay, and immediately asked Xiao Er to open a jar of nine steamed and nine brewed "fairy drunk" and went to the private room.

"No wonder the magpie barked this morning, it was the distinguished customers who fell, and the small shop was full of brilliance!"

When Master Guo entered the private room, he was a little earnest, and hugged his fists and said to everyone: "I have seen President Feng, I have seen all the masters......"

Feng Million got up and saluted back: "I haven't seen you for eight years, Brother Guo is still in good spirits!" ”

Master Guo said with a smile: "President Feng's demeanor is still the same, not less than it was back then!" As he spoke, he involuntarily glanced at Feng Million's Confucian shirt.

If I remember correctly, at the Mid-Autumn Festival group banquet of the Huainan Chamber of Commerce eight years ago, Feng Million wore this Confucian dress.

Feng Million's name of "thrift" is really well deserved.

As soon as Feng Million got up, the other gentry and businessmen did not sit.

Although I don't know what Feng Million has done to promote this Master Guo, everyone has not opened their eyes to dismantle the stage.

The person who sat at the head of Feng Million consciously gave up his position and invited Master Guo to take a seat.

Feng Wanyi also took Master Guo's arm and said warmly: "It's rare for you and me to see you again, I want to have a few drinks today!" ”

Master Guo was flattered on his face, but he became more and more vigilant in his heart, and said busily: "I didn't know that the president was here earlier, and I came late, so I will have a drink with all the distinguished guests!" "Then fill the lamp with it yourself.

Feng Million held the wine cup, moved his nose, and his face was intoxicated: "This is the 'Immortal Drunk' exclusively brewed by 'Xue Ji'?" Sure enough, it lives up to its name! ”

Master Guo nodded and said, "That's it...... There are not many outside, and the old man is also thick-skinned, so he grabbed two altars to treat distinguished guests, and he still opened the altar today......"

This wine was tossed out by Huo Bao after Niu Qing was injured, which made Xue Biao take a fancy to it and became the exclusive sale of "Xue Ji".

Because food is expensive nowadays, there is no ban on wineries in the city, but they can't brew wantonly, and they have to go through approval.

It is the "Xue Ji" winery, which is no exception.

This "fairy drunk" of nine steamed and nine brewed wines is the best wine with no price in the market.

said that it is an altar, but it is only a circle larger than an adult's fist, and a jar is a catty.

Feng Million said with a smile: "Brother Guo is from Chuzhou, and he has a hometown friendship with Taiwei Huo, and I think Xue Qiye will also give Brother Guo some face." ”

Master Guo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the old man is a cook, where do you dare to get close to the Taiwei Mansion?" ”

Feng Million shook his head and said, "Brother Guo is too polite...... Who doesn't know that the Guo family is no longer what it used to be, and the court has changed, and only the elder brother is still humble...... Not to mention that the two nephews are literate and martial, one is a county officer, the other is a deputy general, all of them are talented, they are grandchildren, and there are also two of them who are the sons of Taiwei to study, and the future is unlimited! ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone at the table looked at Master Guo.

No wonder Feng Million treated him differently, it turned out to be an "upstart".

Not to mention the fact that his son is in a civilian and military position in the Chuzhou Army, the two grandchildren are angry when they read with him.

It's just a restaurant owner, why does the Taiwei Mansion treat him so differently?

Master Guo became more and more vigilant in his heart, and only said: "The dog is just a number, where is President Feng's praise?" The rules of the Chuzhou army are like this, and the children of the gentry in Chuzhou City are either recruited into the military or take the examiner test...... As for the two grandchildren, they can't be considered companions, but when Taiwei first entered Chuzhou in June, the little boy didn't have a companion, so he found a few local children to be companions, and they were all sent ......away in less than two months."

Feng Million had paid attention to the Guo family before, and he inquired clearly, knowing that he was not lying, but he also said: "Even if it is two months, it is a rare blessing, I heard that the children of the Yu family of Chaohu Lake Sailor are also by that little boy's side...... Yu Du is blessed to be able to marry the Taiwei Mansion! ”

Others heard it, but they couldn't help but be moved.

It seems that a good way out for a child to join the Chuzhou army as an officer.

The Chuzhou Army's official test has already been spread.

Not only the gentry paid attention, but also the merchants.

The children of merchants do not know the four books and the five classics, but there is no one who does not know the number of arts.

For the Chuzhou Army's officer examination, for Confucian students, children are required to register for the child, but for the children of businessmen, they can be qualified through the preliminary examination.

When it comes to the official examination, the literary test and the technical test are also taken separately.

The ratio of Confucian scholars to the children of Shang Jia was eight to two.

It seems that the proportion is not high, but for the children of businessmen, it is already a rare ladder to climb the clouds.

and the companion of the little boy.

It is also the way out for children and grandchildren.

It's just that everyone knows that this way out is not something you want to have.

Especially before Yangzhou, twenty artillery pieces were circulated and bombed in Chushan, which was a big taboo.

Another adjutant general led 20,000 soldiers out of Bentaizhou, which also made the Chuzhou army doubt the position of Yangzhou.

Looking at the earlier faction of the Chuzhou army, among the more than a dozen gentry and merchants in Chuzhou, there are four households that are reused, the gentry Song family, the gentry Wu family, the businessman Guo family, and the doctor Bao family.

The Song family has the old man Song Lin, the Wu family is the former dynasty after the general, and has a relationship with Huo Taiwei, the Bao family has a skill, what does the Guo family have?

There is only one possibility, the Guo family donated the most silver!

The Guo family also got a rich return.

The third son is now a deputy general, the eldest son is a county prince, and his grandchildren are also beginning to emerge.

Everyone is looking at Master Guo and thinking about his own future, not unmoved.

……

Master Guo toasted two rounds of wine, and when the "fairy drunk" reached the bottom, he avoided it under the pretext that he was too strong to drink.

Back in the tea room, he was a little annoyed.

Feng Million pushed him to the front of the stage, thinking that he couldn't be quiet for a while.

Those Yangzhou businessmen are worried that they can't find a way out in Jinling, and they know that the Guo family is now decent and not a dead horse and a live horse doctor?

Master Guo grinded his teeth secretly, and instead of rejoicing at everyone's closeness, he cursed in a low voice.

Others can't find a way, Feng Million can't find a way?

Although Monk Feng joined the Chuzhou army late, he was not one of the several fathers, but his rank was not low.

Feng Million was reluctant to seek the near and far, but he asked Master Guo to send a message to the Taiwei Mansion, wanting to emulate the Guo family and be willing to donate silver to help the army, so as to seek officials for his children and grandchildren; also wants to marry with the Taiwei Mansion like the Yu family.

Master Guo was annoyed, but he didn't dare to delay the big event, so he went to the Taiwei Mansion in person.

is not only afraid that his son will not understand the words, but also deliberately.

Since Feng Million pointed out the Guo family, if the Guo family does not show its strength, it will be envied and bullied by others.

……

Taiweifu Tea Room.

Monk Feng had already left, and Xue Biao pulled the owner of the horse village and Du Laoba to find Huo Wu, and first talked about the Chuzhou military flag.

"Fifth brother, our territory is so big, we can't still be called the Chuzhou Army, it doesn't sound magnificent!" Xue Biao babbled.

Huo Wu was curious: "Why did you think of mentioning this?" It's not called Chuzhou Army, what is it called? It's like Xiaobao's side, and each department has a name? ”

Xue Biao shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good!" Messy! You can't just remember the Chuzhou Army, you have to remember the fifth brother, if you want me to say, in the future, our military flag will write the word 'Huo', and we must let the soldiers know whose job is served! ”

Huo Wuding looked at Xue Biao twice, saw that his face was flushed, and he was full of wine, and looked at the master of Ma Zhai: "What's wrong with Old Seven?" Drink too much, what nonsense? ”

"Fifth brother!"

Xue Biao puffed out his cheeks, unhappy.

The owner of the horse village rolled his eyes and said: "Why else, I heard that Xiaobao has recruited more than 100,000 recruits, and I am afraid that the fifth brother will give up as soon as he gives up!" ”

Xue Biao snorted lightly: "If you are assigned to the sixth brother and the eighth brother, you are not afraid of anything, but if you treat others, the fifth brother should not be too real!" ”

Xue Biao was not playing drunk and crazy in vain, but seeing that his brothers Ma Zhai Master and Du Laoba had taken a back seat, Huo Wu was increasingly reusing Deng Jian, Feng Monk and others, and his heart was not steady.

Huo Wu is in charge, and his fourth in command sits steadily.

If the Chuzhou Army is in charge, who will know who Xue Qiye is?

Why can't the counterinsurgency army in Hangzhou do its best?

The emperor temporarily transferred the main general, not only because he didn't want the descendants to make any more meritorious contributions, but also because of the desire to replace the deputy general of the counterinsurgency, there were many slanders in the excerpts of the imperial court.

In the army, it is common to go down to the gram.

Huo Wu didn't know how to defend against people, but Xue Biao didn't like to believe in people.

Huo Wu didn't pay attention to Xue Biao and looked at the owner of the horse village.

The master of Ma Zhai said: "Fifth brother, this time the recruits don't have to divide their troops!" The war deployment is. ”

At present, there are more than 10,000 soldiers under the command of several generals, which is enough.

Military power should not be dispersed, and the more centralized it is, the more stable it will be.

The owner of the horse village does not like intrigues, and he is also happy that the Chuzhou army is absolutely stable.

He trusts Huo Wu's character, and he is not a person who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, but he can't guarantee that all the generals can maintain their original intentions and never abandon them

Du Laoba nodded beside him and agreed: "Yes, fifth brother, you are a captain, and you should have more soldiers than everyone else, what is the matter?" ”

"Xiaobao's staff student, we should start using it too!" The master of the horse village thought for a while and said: "You can work with the cadets to select people among the soldiers and generals!" ”

Huo Bao's previous staff student experiment was half of the success and half of the failure.

The half of the success is that the "staff officers" promoted from the soldiers have strong learning ability and are loyal to the Chuzhou army.

The half of the defeat was the "staff student" selected from among the children of the gentry, who was kind to the Chuzhou military and was not grounded.

If you are not loyal and down-to-earth, how can you convince the soldiers to be loyal?
