Chapter 34: Backing (II)

"Yo yo...... Slow down, it's a pity to spill such a good tea! ”

The old man in Xuanyi brought the teacup to his mouth with both hands, sniffed it lightly, nodded pleasantly, and then drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, the gray beard on his lips and chin trembled slightly, and praised loudly:

"Good tea, good craftsmanship! I didn't expect you to have such a hand, if I don't know your details, I really think of you as a Lingnan person, okay! ”

"Sir, you ...... Why are you here? ”

Xiao Yiming stammered and asked, her heart turning a thousand times, her eyes full of shock and curiosity.

The old man in Xuanyi asked rhetorically, "Why can't I be here?" ”

Xiao Yiming hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no! I didn't mean that, I ...... The juniors mean to be surprised. ”

"Surprised? How do I not think? After the old man in Xuanyi finished speaking, he and Zhao Erxun looked at each other and smiled, laughing extremely happily for a long time.

Xiao Yiming was confused, and he didn't dare to ask, so he had to carefully hold the empty cups of the two, scald them with boiling water, and poured a new cup of tea.

Zhao Erxun wiped the tears that came out of his laughter:

"Boy, he is the third brother of the old man, Zhao Erfeng, the minister of border affairs, do you know each other now?"

Xiao Yiming said that he guessed correctly, this old man who looked a little similar to Zhao Erxun was indeed Zhao Erfeng, and hurriedly stood up, straightened his clothes and half-knelt during the march: "Xiao Yiming, the army supervisor of the Governor's Yamen and the deputy military academy instructor of the Army Crash School, see my lord!" ”

Zhao Erfeng bent down slightly, helped him, and smiled very happily: "Get up, sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Xiao Yiming stood up, carefully returned to his original position and sat down, his chest and abdomen were still surging.

Zhao Erxun smiled slightly after drinking the tea: "Yi Ming, you can't think that the old man who saved him with his body is a minister, right?" ”

Most of Xiao Yiming's speculations have all come true, and he is not slow at all: "I haven't dreamed of my humble position, if I don't see the boss today, I will almost forget about it, after all, it's been a long time." ”

"For a long time? Soon, right? Isn't it just over two years? However, what makes me happy is that in just two years, you have been reborn, congratulations! Zhao Erfeng said appreciatively.

Xiao Yiming didn't know the mystery, and immediately replied:

"The reason why the humble position has today's point of interest is entirely due to the care and cultivation of the master and the boss, without the earnest teachings and step-by-step guidance of the two adults, how can there be a lowly position today? Thank you again for your humble duties! ”

The Zhao brothers looked at each other and smiled, very satisfied with Xiao Yiming's realization, surname and honesty.

Zhao Erfeng asked Xiao Yiming about the recent situation, detailed to the work situation and life situation, every detail, which made Xiao Yiming inexplicably moved, so he did not hide his next plan and humbly asked for the opinions of the two old men.

Zhao Erxun and Zhao Erfeng learned that Xiao Yiming was going to use all the 200,000 silver he rewarded him to set up a chemical factory and increase employment opportunities in order to revitalize the national industry, and then connected with Xiao Yiming's Sichuan Arsenal rectification purpose and stage surname goal, and contacted foreigners to build the first affordable western hospital in Chengdu and other amazing measures, they immediately realized that the young man in front of him had deep feelings for the people and the army, and he was ambitious and intelligent, and he was by no means an idle person, and his future achievements were probably far beyond the expectations of the two.

Zhao Erfeng asked:

"Yiming, have you ever thought that these things you do may not be understood by the world, and even fail under the obstruction and suppression of all aspects?"

Xiao Yiming blushed and nodded:

"I've thought about it, the younger generation has thought more than once about all kinds of possible endings, but these things have the possibility of success, and the surname may not be small, if you don't do it, there must be no chance at all The younger generation is an ordinary person in the market, who is helpless and has nothing, thanks to God's favor, thanks to the love and support of the two adults, there are such good conditions and today's superior status, if you don't work hard, I'm afraid not only sorry for the two adults, but also sorry for God."

"Well said! Very good! ”

Zhao Erfeng praised loudly, and looked at Xiao Yiming seriously: "Yiming, would you like to be my student?" ”

Xiao Yiming was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up and took a big step back, tidied up his clothes and slowly crawled on the ground: "The teacher is above, please accept the students' worship, Yiming will follow the teacher wholeheartedly, and there will be no regrets on the horizon!" ”

"Hahaha......"

"Congratulations to the third brother for winning this good apprentice!"

"Brother Xie worked tirelessly and worked hard for his little brother to cultivate Yiming!"

After the two saluted each other and laughed heartily, Zhao Erfeng stepped forward in two steps and helped Xiao Yiming up, with an extremely solemn expression:

"Yiming, don't call yourself any despicable in the future, you are already my student, your intelligence and ability, as we all know, everything you do is praiseworthy, your character and talent are far better than the vast majority of people in the officialdom who do nothing, where does it come from? From now on, don't despise yourself, you know? Go back and sit down, I still have a lot to say to you. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Yiming saluted again in gratitude, and stepped forward to help Zhao Erfeng return to his seat.

Zhao Erxun nodded frequently, as if he suddenly remembered something, raised his hand to Zhao Erfeng slightly, turned to Xiao Yiming and asked with a smile:

"Yiming, you have a lot of ideas, and first help the old man come up with an idea, how to solve the big trouble caused by the revolutionary party now?"

Xiao Yiming pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice: "It is difficult to cure the root cause, but it is relatively easy to treat the symptoms, but ...... I also ask the teacher and the teacher to forgive the student for the sin of lying and talking. ”

"Although bluntly speaking, where does the family have so many taboos?" Zhao Erfeng commanded.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yiming took a breath slowly:

"According to the students, it is not the so-called revolutionary party in Chengdu that has the power to reach the sky, these people are a mixture of fish and dragons, many speculators, advocating violence, and vague beliefs, only one thing is clear, they are against the current imperial court, and they don't care whether they will be used by a handful of high-sounding careerists who do things but are despicable and selfish, let alone care about the lives and deaths of hundreds of people. Students are sure that among the vast majority of the so-called revolutionaries in the country, ten of them are from wealthy families, and it is impossible to represent the toiling people of the world.

"Secondly, it is not that the Chengdu police and officials are incompetent, but that the current imperial court has reached the time of the twilight of the West Mountain, the emperor and the queen mother have returned to heaven one after another, and the whole country is in chaos.

Zhao Erxun and Zhao Erfeng nodded one after another, Xiao Yiming's analysis and their views were the same.

Xiao Yiming continued:

He once told the students that tens of thousands of printed leaflets had appeared in a row, indicating that the revolutionary party was quietly printed near Chengdu or somewhere in the city. Such a simple thing can be seen by Ma Gang, a little policeman who has just been in the police for a year, how can those old policemen and old servants who have been working for decades not see it?

"Another is the question of how to arrest after discovery, if you really want to arrest it, the people from the General Bureau and the sub-bureaus and yamen cannot use it, it is best to mobilize people from General Zhong Ying's guards, so as to minimize possible leaks."

Zhao Erxun stroked his palms and praised: "Good way, comprehensive in all aspects, very incisive, Yiming, you said that the old man handed over this matter to you to handle, how about it?" ”

Xiao Yiming complained bitterly in her heart, but her face was calm: "The students will definitely go all out." ”

"Good! In this case, this matter will be handed over to you, and the old man hopes to see results within three days. Zhao Erxun immediately made a decision.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yiming replied stubbornly.
