Chapter 16: Rich Again

In the late Qing Dynasty, Juzi was the kind of robe, horse coat, melon skin hat, traditional Chinese characters, and rare characters were more recognized, and he was an old pedant who could make eight strands of literature. These people are generally more old-fashioned in their thinking; The pseudo-county magistrate, needless to say, is more radical in thought. Lao Juzi snorted coldly when he saw the county magistrate, and the pseudo-county magistrate naturally wanted to put the leader on the wine table in order to show his social status.

Who wanted to annoy the old pedant without saying a few words! The late Qing Dynasty, which has always paid attention to tradition, quoted scriptures and classics, and those who were concerned also reprimanded the pseudo-county magistrate. Saying that it is a reprimand, it sounds more like an eight-strand essay is now made. Of course, even if the people here don't understand the meaning of the blame, they can guess it.

The old scholar is scolding the county magistrate in classical Chinese for being a traitor who recognizes the thief as his father! The county magistrate's face turned red at that time. If you want to refute two sentences, his level of Mandarin is not as good as Lao Juzi, and no one can speak well in classical Chinese! barely coped with a few sentences, and even led to a long paragraph of the old man's gushing, and someone here actually gave this old scholar a good shout!

The county magistrate was immediately furious, stood up and wanted to leave. The soldier at the door waved his gun, and the county magistrate remembered that today's dinner was easy to come, but it was difficult to leave!

This side is in Wendou, and the fight on the table over there begins. The gangster leader in the city and the shopkeeper of the Qinglou tore their faces because of a prostitution dispute, and the police chief at the same table persuaded him: "Two old brothers, two old brothers are angry." Give your brother a thin noodle, won't you make it first? After today, the two of them are casual when they come out of this restaurant, so please calm your anger now. ”

The two of them were fighting and accidentally poured a plate of sweet and sour fish into the chief's arms. If it weren't for the fact that there were soldiers watching the scene at the door, the police chief would have already pulled out a gun and arrested the two of them together, where would he be so polite to persuade them?

"Huh? Director Wang, now you are not in class again. The two of us have a little fight, and you are all off work, so do you care? ”

"Yes. How much salary does Taijun pay you, and you have to take care of things when you go to and from work? ”

Yes, the opponents who were still punching each other just now have joined hands to find the police chief's stubble. Usually these two people don't dare, but now that they have seized the opportunity, it's not good to take advantage of their mouths, right? The police chief's face suddenly turned red, and even with the juice of the sweet and sour fish on his body, the whole person had a faint layer of red.

"Commander Hu has arrived!" Someone was singing his name loudly, and Hu Fei entered.

Everyone in the audience left their seats one after another, some people took the lead in applauding, and all the diners also slapped in desperation, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm. Hu Fei waved his hand and walked into the banquet hall like a big star attending the awards ceremony. He didn't take a seat at any table, and walked directly to the rostrum. This banquet hall also has a low rostrum, which seems to be usually used by the banquet host to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hu Fei greets you on behalf of the eight eight thousand brothers!" After speaking, he hugged his fist and made a circle. There are definitely no 8,000 brothers in the 88th Column, and Hu Fei said a little more to deter everyone. "This time, the brothers were able to liberate Yuci County, and everyone here has a lot of credit."

"Commander Hu, we don't have any credit. This is all the credit of the soldiers of the 88th Column, and we dare not compete with the soldiers for merit. "The eldest brother on the road is quite sharp-tongued, and this one plugged in before Hu Fei's words ended.

"There is merit and merit, how can there be no merit? It is a great credit for you to stay in Yuci County and preserve the architecture and humanity of this thousand-year-old city. Well, we don't have to push each other back and forth to give credit to each other, although this is our Chinese virtue, but if it is blindly humble, it is not appropriate. We'll go back to the merits, but now my brother has another important matter that I would like to discuss with you. ”

As Hu Fei spoke, the scene slowly quieted down. By the time Hu Fei said that he had something to discuss, there was already a quiet pin drop in the huge banquet hall. Everyone's eyes are on Hu Fei, everyone knows that the next thing is to focus on today.

"Our army and the Japanese have been fighting hard for many days, and the army's food and salary are insufficient. If you have money, you can make money, and if you don't have money, you can give food, more and more, and less and less. Voluntary contributions are pleased. As soon as the words of voluntary donation came out, the scene was quiet, and there was not even a cough, and everyone was afraid that they would be arrested by Hu Fei as soon as they made a sound.

Donating money and materials is understandable to all. The army, isn't that the case, which army is stationed in the county town and is not allowed to send food and pay? It's okay to follow up after others say the numbers, but if you say it first, no matter how much or less, you will inevitably be blamed in the future.

"Since everyone is humble, then I will nominate it. County Magistrate Liu, please set an example, right? I heard that there is a business in your house, right? The return of Yuci County, County Magistrate Liu must be the happiest, right? Hehe, I eagerly look forward to the county magistrate making greater contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance. Everyone is welcome! Hu Fei took the lead in applauding, and the applause was thunderous. Anyway, you don't have to spend money to clap your hands, and you don't shoot for nothing.

County Magistrate Liu stood there with a red and white face, it would definitely not work if he didn't donate, and now it was a matter of donating more and donating less. Looking at the soldiers at the door, the county magistrate had a feeling that if he couldn't satisfy Hu Fei today, maybe he wouldn't be able to get out of this door!

What bad luck! County Magistrate Liu's eyes rolled, and finally stomped his feet and gritted his teeth, "I'll donate five thousand silver dollars!" "That's half of his deposit! For the safety of the whole family, he confessed!

"Five thousand? Hehe, that seems a bit out of touch with you, right? Since he is the county magistrate, he has to set an example. I'll tell you the number, ten thousand silver dollars! What do you think? Hu Fei casually doubled the amount said by the county magistrate as if he was joking.

"Ten thousand is ten thousand! I donate 10,000 dollars, silver dollars. When he said the word silver dollar, the county magistrate almost stopped crying. That's bankruptcy.

There was a document wearing a military uniform next to it, and on a piece of paper solemnly wrote the words that County Magistrate Liu donated 10,000 silver dollars, which was called a letter.

The old man, who was still full of wealth just now, had already collapsed to the point where he couldn't move, but Hu Fei obviously didn't want to let go of this highly educated cultural person. The efficient scout has already inquired, this old pedant is a miser, he has a lot of money, and this guy has money!

In the end, under the persecution of Hu Fei, the late Qing Juzi, who was already about to commit cerebral thrombosis, also pledged 10,000 oceans.

That's the standard. Like the chairman of the chamber of commerce, the proprietor of the big business, etc., all started at 30,000 yuan, and the police chief donated the least, also donating 5,000 yuan. After eating a meal, Hu Fei roughly calculated, and his net income exceeded 500,000 yuan, and he became rich again!
