The so-called "New Army" barracks in Rong County are really dilapidated, and Zhao Xi has known this for a long time.

"I have a piece of land in the west of the city, which is still a bit large, and I have built a few houses, which are all available, and I have the right to lend them to Shu Zhi as a place to train soldiers, I don't know if Shu Zhi is willing to laugh at it?" Zhao Xi said suddenly.

This was originally Wang Hengyue's most nerve-wracking, that "military camp" was really uninhabitable, when it rained, I was afraid that there would not even be a place to hide from the rain, since Zhao Xi said so, Wang Hengyue was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him again and again.

Only then did I know that this Zhao Xi was not only a big celebrity, but also a rich man.

The Zhao family lives in River Street, Rongxian County, which was originally a place where large families lived, and more than half of the land here belonged to his old Zhao family, and his financial resources were by no means inferior to anyone. Everywhere in Rong County, Zhao Xi has real estate. It was really easy to take out a piece of land and lend it to Wang Hengyue.

Wang Hengyue was a little lucky, fortunately he was lucky, otherwise he would have really offended Zhao Xi by making a fool of himself, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch in Rong County.

"It's getting late today, Shuzhi and you have the right to rest here, and I will take Shuzhi to the county master, Shuzhi is a newcomer, and local things are always inseparable from the care of parents and officials." Zhao Xi said kindly.

Wang Hengyue arched his hand: "It's so disturbing to Xianggong." ”

asked the family to take Wang Hengyue's brother to the guest room to rest, and asked his nephew Deng Xia to accompany Wang Hengyue to the specially prepared guest room.

After talking with him, Deng Xia was about to say goodbye, and Wang Hengyue suddenly asked: "What kind of person is the county master who went to visit Ming, and please teach me Ximo." ”

"Your Excellency, you're so polite." Deng Xia sat down again when he heard this: "This county master is called Li Shenchun, he has only been in Rong County for half a year, and he has the best money, which is also the appearance of the county master in various places." was polite to my uncle, and that was because he knew that my uncle had been an official in Beijing and didn't dare to offend too much. But for the sake of the official's reputation, I'm afraid it's not very good. ”

said and smiled contemptuously: "He was originally an alternate, and he was alternate for three whole years, and it was easy to be active to a real shortage, and I don't know how much money he spent and how many ways he went. At this time, even if he wants to give him an individual official, he will not go, he must work here for three or five years, and he will be willing to return with a full load. ”

Wang Hengyue also smiled, officials from all over the Manchu Dynasty were like this, especially these candidates were really vacant, and they had to make a lot of money in office.

"As for this Rong County." Deng Xia pondered there for a while: "In addition to my Zhao family, there are a few other places, and adults must go to visit them when they have time." ”

Wang Hengyue was heartbroken, and listened intently to what Deng Xia said: "One is Li Qizhang of the Economic Levy Bureau, this person loves money and is on par with Li Shenchun, and he has some real power in his hands, so try not to tear face with him." The other two are the gentry Guo Shenzhi and Zhang Zihe, who have always been good friends with the government and have some prestige in the local area. There is also the Rong County Long family. This family has close contacts with the Elders' Association, this is the Long family of Rong County, and there is a person in the Long family named Long Mingjian"

Dragon Sword? Wang Hengyue frowned, why did it sound so familiar?

Deng Xia didn't pay attention, and said to himself: "His original name is Gu Shan, the word Gu Shan, alias Xuemei, a native of Wubao Town, Rong County, a Xiucai in the Guangxu period, went to Yuben last year, and I heard that he also joined the revolutionary party, it seems that he returned to Yunnan this year, and his whereabouts are unknown." ”

Frowning as he spoke: "This person has a close relationship with Qin Zaigeng, the head of the Elders' Association, and when Long Mingjian went to Chengdu, he offended the government, and it all relied on Qin Zaigeng's help, and the government was helpless." Adults must not underestimate the Elders' Association, the power of the Elders' Association is beyond the imagination of outsiders. Especially this Qin Zaigeng, when he was six years old, he practiced martial arts with his younger brother in his grandfather's martial arts shed, smelled the chickens and danced, and often practiced. At the age of eighteen, he was already strong, and he should take the county boy's test, because of the unfairness of the examiner, Qin Zaigeng dragged him out of the sedan chair and beat him. ”

Dragon Sword! Wang Hengyue remembered!

Didn't this person organize the Rong County uprising later?

And this Qin Zaigeng is also the organizer of the uprising!

Wang Hengyue was very grateful to Deng Xia in his heart, and explained the situation in Rong County clearly, so that he had some judgment in his heart, so that he would not be blind and ride a blind horse!

"Ximo, I really have to thank you." Wang Hengyue sighed: "I just came to Rong County, just like a blind man, with the words of cherishing ink, it is like adding two eyes to me, and there will be more places to trouble cherishing ink in the future." ”

"Why should you be polite." Deng Xia smiled slightly: "Since my uncle asked me to come to the adult's side, he originally wanted to help the adult. The adults returned from the West, and their knowledge was far greater than mine, but Deng Xia wanted to ask the adults for more advice. ”

After a pause: "Lord Fang and Uncle Fang were talking about the United States, and Deng Xia eavesdropped outside the door for a long time before he realized that there was such a change in the world. It's ridiculous that those people in the court have lost battles again and again, but they still sit in the well and watch the sky, shameless and brave, and work hard. If this continues, the court will be in danger and the country will be miserable. ”

"It's so dangerous and pathetic." Wang Hengyue sneered a few times: "Don't say anything else, just say that Ben, the country of projectiles, bowed down to me back then, and it can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, but the reform and revitalization of these years have achieved great results, and they have long been better than our country." Being ridden on the head by a country like Ben is the real sadness. ”

Speaking of Yueben, Deng Xia's eyes were full of anger: "In the First Sino-Japanese War, the country lost face, and the good Beiyang Navy Division ended up like that." Every time Deng Xia thought about the incident, his liver and intestines were broken, and he hated to go to the battlefield in person and fight to the death with the Japanese invaders! ”

"Fight to the death? Sooner or later. Wang Hengyue's face was calm: "I don't believe that we will always be pressed by myself, and I don't believe that any country will always bully us." Ten years, twenty years, as long as we learn from the pain and bury our headaches, sooner or later there will be a day"

"It's a pity, there's still that court on my head," Deng Xia said before he spoke, and immediately realized that he was speechless. Isn't this lord in front of him an official of the imperial court? To say such a thing by yourself is a big rebellion.

He would never have thought that Wang Hengyue was a person from another era, let alone say such things, it would no longer hurt to say even more rebellious words.

After sighing for a while, Deng Xia got up and said goodbye.

Seeing Deng Xia away and closing the door, Wang Hengyue thought that in two years, the world would be turned upside down, and the name of the "revolutionary party" on his head might be able to play a big role.

However, the most important thing now is to get the new army up and running as soon as possible. Without an army on hand, I'm afraid that in this era and in the next few decades, I am afraid that it will not even be a fart!
