Ren Xuefeng received an order from the Senate and was asked to put down everything at hand and report to the Executive Committee of Dongfang Port immediately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt this time, Ren Xuefeng was sitting on a Rolls-Royce, his feet were constantly pedaling. The person sitting on the side, grabbing the handrail, and desperately stepping on the pedal, was Ren Xuefeng's apprentice Zhou Rui. Since the Executive Committee has now begun to encourage all the patriarchs to bring apprentices, basically all the patriarchs are now looking for qualified aborigines as apprentices, and Bao Bao took Newton to eat in the patriarch's canteen every day, so that some planners felt envious and took the initiative to show their own or their children's "extraordinary abilities". However, since the knowledge mastered by the patriarchs could not be imparted until at least the level of junior high school education, most of the science veterans at this time failed to find their satisfactory apprentices.

But Ren Xuefeng is obviously an exception, he is mainly responsible for intelligence analysis, which mainly requires intelligence and insight, and his specialty English cannot be used in this time and space, because it is not known whether there is a United Kingdom. As for the Japanese language, trade with Japan has not yet begun, but with the large number of Japanese people in Wenshan Port, the local people do not have a strong sense of resistance to the Japanese language. The apprentice he needed came directly in front of him, and that was Zhou Rui.

This Zhou Rui almost meets all his needs, Zhou Rui is very smart, and he is a scholar, and his interpersonal relationships are handled quite well, and some of the slaves who were redeemed with him at that time had a good relationship with him, and it is quite rare to be able to return unscathed in the days when he was a slave of the Southern Barbarians. Due to the fact that there are more Japanese people in Wenshan Port, he can also speak some Japanese, and his Japanese can even have a direct conversation with Ren Xuefeng, which makes Ren Xuefeng feel quite surprised. Not to mention that Zhou Rui's rather sleek handling method when registering his name also made Ren Xuefeng want to be satisfied, so Ren Xuefeng officially accepted him as his apprentice a few days later.

Zhou Rui was also very surprised that a chief took the initiative to accept himself as an apprentice, and he was also famous in Wenshan Port, but since he was admitted to the meritorious service, there was no chance to enter the system of the government. His family spent many years of savings to provide for him to be admitted to Xiucai, but his status has not changed much, and even the tax reduction and exemption have not been implemented at all. On the contrary, now in Champa Port, he inexplicably became a scribe of the Senate, and was directly accepted as an apprentice by a "senator" head.

He hadn't been in the Senate for a long time, but now he had figured out that the Senate was a very powerful form of government. He learned from the soldiers of the Marine Corps that a few months ago, a few dozen or so veterans had defeated the encirclement and suppression of thousands of Minzhuang and the military officers and troops, and that during the battle to defend the port of Zhancheng, he had seen with his own eyes that the new army of the Senate and the new army armed with the weapons of the Senate had defeated the Nanban army, which was several times his size. Not to mention that along the way, he followed the Southern Barbarian army all the way to be harassed by the Senate army, and saw those barbarian troops who were almost invincible on weekdays being beaten to ashes, all of which made him deeply feel the strength of the Senate.

But what surprised him even more was that such a powerful senate could be so merciful to the common people, and would exchange precious food for the lives of their common captives when it had an overwhelming overall advantage over the Nanban, simply to avoid casualties to the common people in the course of a possible attack.

After arriving at the camp, the people also received physical examinations and a steady supply of food, and asked the doctor to check their health. But in the Senate's containment camp, there is no need to get out.

The people of Annam did not have no food and no money after being displaced, resulting in starvation and plague rampant, but these things did not appear at all in Champa Port, and the benevolent senate actually provided them with a large amount of food, although the quantity was not large and had begun to become a mixture of many kinds of miscellaneous grains during this time, but there was no situation in the past where the rich merchants symbolically mixed the old rice and sand and gravel in the porridge, and so far no one starved to death, This is a miracle that has not been seen in Annan for decades.

After seeing all this with his own eyes, Zhou Rui suddenly had a strange feeling, is this world supposed to be like this? Since the patriarch was willing to accept him as an apprentice, he agreed directly without thinking. What surprised him even more was that whether it was in Annan or Wuguo, the apprentice was an apprentice who worked for the master for free, and he worked hard to become a laborer who didn't need money for the master, and he could only get a reward of less than one or two throughout the year. But Ren Senator is completely different, he even gave him a tael of silver pocket money every month, and also gave him a master-apprentice certificate of the Senate, and after leaving the school, he could directly enter the "government" work of the Senate, and I heard that the monthly money is at least two taels of silver, and you can also get an allowance according to the skills you have mastered, for example, you can get three dollars of silver a month for your Japanese skills.

Thinking of this, Zhou Rui stepped on the pedal even harder, and the four-seater Rolls-Royce was speeding north on the road leading north to the legendary Oriental Port at a speed of at least twenty kilometers per hour.

The road from Champa to the river was littered with the new Champa Army, under the command of the Senate Marines, collecting and burying the bodies of the barbarians who had been killed, as well as the bodies of the Annam slaves who had not survived the Senate to be freed by the Senate. However, they obviously treated the Annamites differently, as long as they identified themselves as Annamite, the Marines and Forces nouvelles on the side would be the first to stand up and salute the corpse. After the bodies were taken to the mass landfill, the soldiers in charge of the burial bowed to them three times before the burial, and the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles even organized a guard of honor to fire three shots into the sky during the burial. Zhou Rui listened to the master explain that this was the etiquette of the Senate, representing the Senate's respect for these deceased.

As the saying goes, although the funeral is for the dead, it is indeed for the living. In what year did Champa Port not die? When have such people who died in the war every year? It was already a great act of kindness to have someone buried without being eaten by wild dogs, and the people of the Senate would even hold a collective funeral for them, and the people of Champonggang felt quite honored to be friends of the Senate.

At this time, Zhou Rui also thought so, he was one of the slaves who almost died in the chaos of the army, in that darkest time, he had been thinking about what kind of ending he would have if he unfortunately died, and seeing this kind of funeral made him deeply feel the kindness of the Senate.

With a warm heart, he sat in the car and bumped all the way to the river, and suddenly he was shocked by the bridge across the river. This is a wooden bridge, this bridge is different from any bridge he has seen before, the bridge deck is more than four zhang wide, nearly forty zhang long, and the bridge that he usually walks on is not more than one zhang wide and not more than ten zhang long compared to the fact that it is simply a small thing. The deck of the wooden planks is very flat. The three-foot-wide pavement on each side will be higher than the bridge deck, and he was about to ask a question, Ren Xuefeng had already begun to explain to him, "This is the characteristic of the bridge of the Senate, and the high places on both sides are called sidewalks, and people can't usually walk on the lanes, and cars can't drive onto the sidewalks." In this way, the efficiency of road use can be maximized. ”

Zhou Rui didn't know what the efficiency of road use was, but he could deeply feel that the road from crossing the bridge was smoother than the road that came all the way in Zhancheng Port, and the pedestrians walked on both sides of the road according to the rules, but his Rolls-Royce could drive at high speed on this spacious road without worrying about hitting people. Thinking of this, he suddenly found that the people and vehicles on the road were driving on the right, and it was the same on the opposite lane, he couldn't figure it out for a while, and after thinking about it, he asked Ren Xuefeng, who was holding the steering wheel. "Master, why are everyone walking on the right side of the road?"

Ren Xuefeng couldn't help but look at his apprentice in surprise, "Not bad! Not bad! Worthy of being my apprentice! "According to the Senate traffic law, you should always keep to the right on the road, so that you will reduce the chance of collision in the opposite direction." ”

"Oh, no wonder, if you walk on the right, you can give up the left side of the road to the people and cars coming from the opposite side." Zhou Rui nodded thoughtfully while muttering to himself.

Ren Xuefeng was even more surprised at this time, you must know that since the Artillery Party began to implement pedestrians on the right, there are many people who oppose this kind of traffic law, and they all question why they want to walk on the right, and they are all questioning who is left on the left side of the road. However, his apprentice directly understood the true meaning of driving on the right, which made him begin to wonder if his apprentice would be a single piercing person outside the five hundred traversals. However, after he asked Zhou Rui about Jenny's spinning machine and internal combustion engine, and received negative answers, he guessed that his apprentice was a native of this time and space.

After crossing the bridge, the road suddenly became much wider than the road in Champonggang, and a large number of houses began to appear directly a few feet away from the bridge.

Most of these houses are made of brick and stone, most of the houses near the roadside are two-storey houses, and the houses below are all open on the street side, and all kinds of stalls and containers are placed from the room to the outside, but they are all placed at most a foot away from the door. In the distance, there were several men with some strong figures, dressed in gray clothes with leggings, wearing a rattan helmet on their heads, and a white belt woven from an unknown piece around their waists, and a short black wooden stick pinned to the belt. These people have a white strip of cloth sewn on their right chest, and the four big black characters "urban management" on the white strip of white cloth are particularly conspicuous.
