Chapter 216: Erecting a Monument for Liang Daguan

The conference room was extremely quiet, and the officers of the escort team were all drooping their heads, and they did not dare to come out.

Zhao Zizhong continued to say sternly: "Today I asked you to lead a team into the mountains to capture pirates, but how did you get results?" Less than ten people were caught! It's all hungry guys who can't walk, and none of those bandits with strong survival ability in the wild and rich combat experience have been caught. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was very depressing, Liang Daguan came out to play a round, he walked to Zhao Zizhong's side, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, don't get angry first, it's not easy for everyone, and they did their best." You calm down first, getting angry won't solve the problem. If there is something to discuss, come up with a specific countermeasure, and they will definitely implement it conscientiously. ”

Wei Hongye and Cui Daoshu also came over to persuade him, and Zhao Zizhong had no choice but to sit down and stop talking.

Seeing that Zhao Zizhong was very angry, An Dalang hurriedly stood up, glared at the officers of the escort team, and said loudly: "You all listen well, give you three more days, and you must catch all the pirates." If you can't do it, my brother and I will go and catch it ourselves, can you do it? ”

The officers hurriedly stood up and said that they would definitely be able to do it.

An Dalang nodded, "Time is calculated from now on, get out, so that Lao Tzu will not be angry when he sees you." ”

The officers, led by Zhai Xiaoshan and Zhang Hong, all ran out of the conference room.

Cui Daoshu leaned over and said, "Brother, if we want to go south to fight the pirates, there will definitely not be enough warships. Two of our original eight warships were badly damaged in the last storm and have been towed to the shipyard in Minzhou for repairs. So we only have six ships. ”

Zhao Zizhong calmed down a bit, and he asked, "Old Seven, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "Didn't I place an order for ten warships?" The Minnesota shipyard expects to be able to supply us with four ships in August, and the remaining six will be delivered by the end of the year. I want to go to Mingzhou and negotiate with the shipyard to see if I can get them to deliver in advance. ”

Cui Zhaorong hurriedly said: "Family master, this little thing, you don't need to go out at all. I have old friends with the people in the shipyard. I'll go tomorrow and they'll sell my face. ”

Cui Daoshu thought about it and agreed.

Guo Jintao said: "If there are a few more warships, our sailors will not be enough. I want to go to the camp of the Mingzhou Navy Division, and dig up some depressed officials, I guess they will bring a large number of sailors. ”

Zhao Zizhong was overjoyed, he pulled Guo Jintao, and said eagerly: "Old Guo, you must find more people, money is not a problem." You have to dig more people with real skills, it's worth the amount of money! ”

Cui Daoshu also said: "Lao Guo, I will send someone to Mingzhou with you tomorrow, and first give you 5,000 yuan for your shop in the Cui family for your use." If it's not enough, you can call on the Cui family's funds at any time. ”

Guo Jintao was very excited, he didn't expect that he would be trusted by everyone like this, and the huge amount of 5,000 yuan was provided for his own use. That's a lot of money.

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said to Du Dalei: "Xiao Du, it's okay if you're idle anyway, you can go with Lao Guo." If you can speak well, you can fool those depressed officers with Lao Guo. Then play to your strengths, pour them all the wine, and drink them all down, and I don't believe they won't come. ”

The people in the room burst into laughter, and Na Zhe said loudly: "No, Du Dalei is completely a wine bag and rice bag, this is definitely his ability." ”

Du Dalei patted his chest triumphantly and said, "It's still the boss who knows people well!" Fooling people and drinking alcohol is originally Lao Tzu's ability! What's so embarrassing. Mrs. Xiao, are you jealous of Lao Tzu, who is more handsome than you and can drink more than you? ”

Na Zhe sneered: "Yes, I am still jealous of you, you can eat better than me!" You are completely the reincarnation of the second senior brother, and you are given the Dharma name 'Pure Altar Messenger', hahaha! ”

Except for the brothers, everyone in the room was confused, and they didn't know what the 'Pure Altar Emissary' was.

Du Dalei immediately rushed over and wanted to clean up Na Zhe. Boris hurriedly stopped him and hugged his waist.

Wei Hongye said: "Okay, don't make trouble, there are still a lot of serious things to discuss, you two stop a little." If you want to go out alone, it's a big place outside. I will provide you with all kinds of weapons and armor so that you can fight enough. ”

Many people ate and laughed, Du Dalei and Na Zhe felt a little bored, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both sat down honestly and acted like good babies.

Wei Hongye continued: "During this time, we were very unhappy, first encountered a big storm, and then were attacked by pirates, which caused great losses in personnel and delayed the production of most of the workshops. I guess I'll make a lot less money! ”

Boris also said: "The salt pans on Qishan Island and Daishan West Island have also been destroyed by the storm, and it is estimated that the sea salt production will be reduced by half this month, about 500,000 catties." That's a loss of nearly 10,000 yuan of income. ”

Cui Zhaorong added: "There is also a certain loss of crops, and it is estimated that the output of grain will be reduced by more than half. Some of the poultry and livestock also died, and they all went into everyone's stomachs. ”

Fan Jinchun smiled and asked, "Lao Cui, why haven't I eaten meat?" Are you a prisoner and stealing all your meat? ”

Everyone in the room laughed, and Cui Zhaorong said happily: "I'm old, my teeth are not good, and I can't bite meat at all." The meat had already been eaten by the children in the school, and the money was paid by Liang Daguan, who bought all the meat. ”

Liang Daguan hurriedly said: "That's right, I bought it." The money has been handed over to the Cui family's bookkeeper, and he also issued me a receipt. ”

Zhao Zizhong stood up and said loudly: "You may not know that Liang Daguan has decided to settle on Qishan Island. He also covered all the expenses of the children in the school, shouldn't we all thank him? ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes!" ”

Zhao Zizhong walked up to Liang Daguan and bowed to him solemnly, Liang Daguan hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" Is it necessary to be so polite? ”

"It is very necessary, and we must thank you for your contribution to Qishan Island."

Wei Hongye proposed: "Old Zhao, I suggest that a reinforced concrete monument be built at the entrance of the school, and the name of Liang Daguan will be engraved on it to commend his merits as a permanent commemoration." ”

Du Dalei shouted: "Liang Daguan is not dead yet, what are you doing to erect a monument so early?" ”

Zhao Zizhong walked over and patted him on the back of the head, "Don't be nonsense, we are not erecting a tombstone, are we a monument?" ”

"Isn't that the same, the 'Monument to the People's Heroes', isn't it for the dead?"

Zhao Zi got angry and kicked Du Dalei, "If you talk nonsense again, you won't have to attend meetings in the future." Now you get out of here, and don't let me see you. ”

Du Dalei immediately deflated, and said with a smile: "Boss, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again." You're going to treat me like a fart, let me go. ”

The people in the room burst into laughter, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Zhao Zizhong was very helpless, and he had nothing to do with this second goods.

After everyone laughed for a while, Liang Daguan said: "You want to erect a monument for me, why don't you ask my opinion?" Have you passed a little, I'm not dead yet, what kind of monument should I erect? Besides, Lao Tzu really likes children and wants to provide them with a good environment for them to grow up, and it's not for the sake of being famous, so don't erect a monument. What kind of money do you have, what should you do? ”

Wei Hongye persuaded: "Liang Daguan, Dou Xian of the Han Dynasty went north to conquer the desert, and he made a stone in Yanran Mountain, which is the earliest monument." We erect a monument to you to remember your merits, and no other meaning. ”

An Dalang asked: "Second brother, the matter of the Han Dynasty!" Tell us about it, and let's learn about it. ”

Wei Hongye said with a smile: "Then I will tell you that in the second year of Zhanghe of the Later Han Dynasty (88 AD), there was a famine in the Northern Xiongnu, and there was a civil strife, and a large number of Northern Xiongnu people fled south and surrendered to the Southern Xiongnu. The Southern Xiongnu have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and now seeing the suffering of the Northern Xiongnu, they want to take the opportunity to kick it again and let the Northern Xiongnu completely stop cooking. In July of this year, Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu wrote to the Eastern Han court: "We should take advantage of the opportunity of the civil strife and division of the Northern Xiongnu to send troops to defeat the Northern Xiongnu, so that the Northern Xiongnu will be one country, so that the Han Dynasty will never have to worry about the north." My Southern Xiongnu grew up in the Han land, opened his mouth to eat, and the Han Dynasty gave us rewards every year, often reaching hundreds of millions. Although we enjoy peace without having to work, we are ashamed of our failure to do so. We are willing to recruit the headquarters and the elite of the Xiongnu scattered in various counties, and join forces with the Han Heavenly Soldiers to march north and pacify the northern enemy in one fell swoop! ’”

An Dalang asked: "Second brother, isn't the Northern and Southern Xiongnu an ethnic group?" Why are they killing each other? ”

Na Zhe said: "Da Lang, during the Tang Dynasty, your Turkic tribe was still divided into two parts, east and west, didn't you also fight all day long?" You better listen to Lao Wei continue. ”

An Dalang was completely speechless, and Wei Hongye continued: "Let me talk about Dou Xian first. Dou Xian was born in an extraordinary family, and his great-grandfather was Dou Rong of the five counties of Nahexi to Emperor Guangwu, one of the thirty-two generals of Yuntai, and was named Marquis of Anfeng. His grandfather was Dou Rong's eldest son, Dou Mu, who married Princess Neihuang, born to Emperor Guangwu and Empress Dowager Yin Lihua. His father, Dou Xun, was born to Princess Neihuang and married Princess Yuyang, the daughter of Liu Qiang, the eldest son of Emperor Guangwu. His uncle Dou Gu also married Princess Neyang, the daughter of Emperor Guangwu. The power of the Dou family in the early Eastern Han Dynasty can be summed up in one sentence: one duke, two marquis, three princesses, and four ministers with two thousand stones. ”
