Chapter Twenty-Three: Undercurrents
In Huairou City, I don't know when there will be another car and horse shop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This chariot and horse shop, called Qiu Ji, is located in a remote corner of Pingkangfang. The shop is dilapidated, even the plaque is not served, and the door of the shop is ajar all day.
Otherwise, the two lanterns with "Vengeance" written on them hanging at the door were newly made, and the shops on the left and right didn't even know when they had a neighbor.
The revenge was opened so quietly, and when it opened, it was not even willing to put firecrackers.
The neighbors around have not seen the shopkeeper of Qiu Ji a few times, but they only know that he is a middle-aged man with a bald head and no beard. The complexion is very white, and the skin looks very delicate, like a woman who has lived in the boudoir for a long time.
However, in recent days, the shop of Qiu Ji seems to be very lively. From time to time, a few big men came in and out, sometimes bringing back some wine and meat from the restaurant, and sometimes bringing back a few charming kiln sisters.
Next to Qiu Ji, Wang Lu, the owner of Wensheng Xuan Pen Shop, listened to the bursts of ******** from next door, snorted angrily, and slammed the brush on the ledger.
"How can there be such a business! Indulge guys all day long and have fun, you don't want to make money, can you do other people's business? Laifu, follow me to train his shopkeeper theory! ”
Wang Lu came out from behind the counter, greeted the guy, and came to the door of Qiu Ji angrily.
With anger, Wang Lu knocked the door of the hate.
It took a while for the door to be pulled open from the inside.
Standing at the door, it was a **** man with a top body, and even his pants seemed to have just been lifted.
The man was covered with a layer of heart hair on his chest, and he was tall, with scars all over his body.
He glanced down at Wang Lu, thinking that he was a customer doing business, and said impatiently: "I won't take the job today, the shopkeeper is not here." Come back another day! ”
Wang Lu was taken aback by his respectful face, and secretly said that which blind owner dared to care about such a guy, it was not a good thing to look at.
Wang Lu is in the literary and ink business, and he grew up in a scholarly family when he was a child, if it weren't for the fact that his family was unsustainable in the middle of the road, he would not have been a businessman.
People who have been reading books for a long time and can't read well often have a sub-axis.
Since he is here to find someone to theorize, he will not retreat until he achieves his goal.
He gave himself the courage in his heart, and grabbed the door that the big man was about to close.
"I'm not here to do business with you, I'm the owner of the propaganda shop next door. Since your shopkeeper is not here, I am just going to tell you. ”
When the man heard that he was not here to do business, he saw that Wang Lu was not good, and even the last bit of patience was dissipated.
He raised his hand and knocked off Wang Lu's arm that was blocking the door, and squeezed a "roll" out from between his teeth.
Wang Lu was scolded by him like this, his angry liver hurt, and he stepped forward to block the door, and shouted loudly: "How can there be a guy like you!" Spend all day drinking in the shop, you don't do business, I still have to support my family! You're so, you've driven away all my guests! When your shopkeeper returns, I will tell you so badly! ”
At this time, when several guys in the house heard the noise at the door, they all put down the naked kiln sister and swayed out full of alcohol.
Walking in the front is a man with a short body but a tendon meat. His face was pitted, like orange peel, and he had a pair of bull's eyes, which bulged out as if to protrude from his sockets.
As soon as he heard that Wang Lu was going to sue the shopkeeper, he sneered and stepped forward, looked at Wang Lu with a smile and said, "Sue us?" Okay, then I'll add one more to you! ”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his leg and gave Wang Lu a kick.
The kick was in Wang Lu's chest, and he was immediately kicked out and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
Wang Lu only felt that his chest was hit by a sledgehammer, and his heart and lungs were about to vomit out of his mouth. It took a long time for him to regain his breath and moan in pain.
The man squinted his eyes and glanced at the man brought by Wang Lu, who was already frightened and weak. After he saw it like this, he immediately picked up Wang Lu, who was lying on the ground, and fled back to the shop.
The man laughed a few times and said to himself, "Sue me with the shopkeeper? This vote is done, and whether the shopkeeper's life is left depends on my Howling Mountain Tiger's mood.
”
A man next to him listened to what he said, and smiled kindly: "Big brother, why did you say that the surnamed Qiu spent such a big price, and he had to be the one surnamed Yue and the surnamed Hu?" Those two are officials. ”
The Whistling Mountain Tiger glanced at him coldly, "The officials are also a knife, and the common people are also a knife." The silver given is enough, and we will do it too, the emperor. Let's have fun. The guy surnamed Qiu didn't let us do it for a long time, but it was boring. Although this kiln sister is on fire, she is a commodity ridden by 10,000 people after all. If you go back and look for a few good families, that's what makes it enjoyable. ”
A few men smiled lewdly in response, closed the door of the shop and continued to have fun.
In the Huangzhuang Manor, the courtyard is full of tables and chairs, and a group of teenagers and dolls are wearing uniform gray shirts and are learning calligraphy.
The dolls are okay, they are in the stage of being curious about everything, and they are very excited when they come into contact with pen and ink.
But the teenagers were a different story, scratching their ears and cheeks with carbon strips, and writing in large letters crookedly.
Starting from the desolation of the Xuanhuang Universe of Heaven and Earth, there are twelve big characters a day, and if you can't write well, you won't be allowed to eat dinner.
This has made them miserable, and now they are accustomed to training every day, running for more than ten miles with sandbags on their backs as if they were playing.
But reading and literacy has never had anything to do with me, and instead of sitting here and suffering, it is better to go to the coal yard and train - at least I can.
Xu Lin, who is the most knowledgeable among the teenagers, can only write more than 30 words, so he has to count his name.
The most hateful thing is that they still have to learn arithmetic with Yue Zhang with the doll.
The most basic multiplication formula stumped them.
One fifteen gets five two five ten, three five fifteen four five twenty, five five.... Five-five... Woowoowoo.....
In addition to not being able to eat dinner, I also have to clean the toilet for the dolls.
Five-five-twenty-five is so difficult, it's too hard!
Yue Zhang looked at the young people who were struggling to write with satisfaction, and walked between them with his hands behind his back.
When I saw that it was well written, I praised it. When I saw something badly written, I slapped it on the back of the head.
The teenagers who were beaten had no temper at all.
The day before yesterday, Yue Zhang gave them a rare day off. After returning home, the elder brother who instructed them to make trouble with Yue Zhang as much as they wanted when they came changed their tone.
Thousands of instructions, you must practice hard, don't provoke that evil star.
Just kidding, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu offended him, and he was degraded by the emperor, and he was running around the door these days, begging the emperor for mercy.
is a group of big-headed soldiers, so don't go against him.
General Xuanwu, who was named from the fourth rank at a young age, how thick is the emperor's grace? The children of his own family follow him, maybe he can really mix the same background.
After returning from home, the teenagers were honest.
Yue Zhang said one, but they didn't dare to say two. Yue Zhang said east, they didn't dare to go west.
Even Yue Si'er and Zhang Zhao have discovered the changes in the teenagers, and the progress of their training has accelerated sharply in the past few days, and the teenagers have initially taken on the appearance of Yue Zhang's PLA warriors in his previous life.
But what Yue Zhang wanted was not a warrior.
The emperor asked him to train the new army, but in order to avoid opposition from the court, it could only be carried out on a small scale.
Resources, personnel, conditions, all aspects are limited. Under these conditions, it is clearly unrealistic to train a new army of almost a thousand people.
After Yue Zhang received Zhu Jianshen's instructions before, he pondered for a long time.
What is the most important thing about a troop?
Not generals, not soldiers, but middle- and lower-ranking officers who act as the mainstay.
There are no generals, who can be trained from among them, and recruits who can't, who can be relied on for training.
With these officers, it is equivalent to a unit with branches. If one day it needs to be expanded, as long as you find good soldiers and give them training according to appropriate methods, they can be formed and put into use immediately.
This was Yue Zhang's plan, what he needed was not a soldier, but a fully professional, high-quality officer.
So it's not enough to just run, just to train.
He stood behind Li Dabao with his hands behind his back, watched Li Dabao's cockroach crawl out of the big characters, and slapped it hard, hitting Li Dabao in the back of the head.
The latter screamed and fell onto the table.
"Write well for Lao Tzu! Tomorrow night for the exam, the words taught in the past few days have been written more than five wrong, and you go to brush the toilet for a month! ”
Li Dabao's eyes were full of tears, and the green tendons in his right hand holding the carbon bar burst out, and he wailed in his heart: "The baby doesn't want to brush the toilet, the baby has been brushing for seven or eight days in a row......"
