Chapter 12: Those things in Yang Hao's family
The back garden of the Toyosu Defense Embassy covers an area of six acres, but in fact, only a small area near the inner study is planted with flowers and plants, and the rest of the area is overgrown with shrubs and weeds. Yang Hao decided to allocate about four acres of land in the northern part of the garden to the newly established Fengzhou Economics Hall and Xining Wubei School.
The Economics Hall is used to train technical and managerial personnel, and the Armament Academy is used to train officers on active duty and reserve officers. This is an idea that Yang Hao has had for a long time, but it has not been realized, at first because of lack of money, and later because of Zeng Chongyang's chaotic government and foreign wars.
Because of Zeng Chongyang's interference, only half of the winter military reclamation plan was realized, and the war with the central forest and the Guiyi army also exposed the weaknesses and defects of the Xining army. There are many mountains in the army, nepotism is serious, and various factions are fighting openly and covertly, and the selfish interests of one faction and one faction are often put above the public interests of the whole army. Military orders cannot be carried out smoothly, and military discipline enforcement is often discounted. In addition, the battalions' tactics are outdated, their training is conformist, the officers are seriously bureaucratic, and the army is not full of vitality.
All these have to be fundamentally reformed, and in addition to ideological and institutional innovations, the cultivation of qualified personnel is also particularly important. Yang Hao was determined to use the Chang'an Thorn Horse Academy as a reference to establish a military academy and turn it into a military furnace to melt and forge pure new steel and smelt away the impurities in the old steel. Forged an undefeated steel frame for the Xining Army. He wrote a letter to Shao Qin, the head of the Thorn Horse Academy, asking him to recommend Xian to preside over the establishment of the school.
Shao Qin's support for the Martial Arts Academy was unprecedented, and he recommended two master-level figures to Yang Hao.
Du Zhong, deputy chief teacher of the Thorn Horse Academy, professor of law, Tang Dynasty military drill general, he is familiar with the chest, once presided over the design of the "Tang Yuanhe Military Codex" took three years to complete, is the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the military code system of the masterpiece, but unfortunately the future and implementation, Emperor Xianzong died. The "Military Code" has also been shelved since then.
Li He, born as a slave, accumulated merit to become a general in the town, and later joined the military department, and has studied the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign formations.
Yang Hao regarded the two of them as treasures, so he handed over the important task of preparing the Xining Martial Arts Academy to the two. Du Zhong recommended more than 20 of his protΓ©gΓ©s to Yang Hao, all of whom were masters and craftsmen from all walks of life. Yang Hao accepted them one by one and gave them preferential treatment.
Li He persuaded Yang Hao to invite Tan Kong to come over to "participate in the grand event". Yang Hao said with a smile: "It's natural that the teacher can't come to ask for it, but his old man Shenlong can't see the head and the tail, so where can the students go to find him." Li He smiled slightly and said: "Tang Hu went to Jiangnan, and he went to Jingxiang." Now he is being offered there, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and he is holding back the bitterness of his belly. Send for him, and he will come. Yang Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent Guan Suo south. Later, Tan Kong really went north and served as the deputy chief teacher of the Martial Arts Academy.
In view of the serious lack of management of several new factories such as the blanket factory, Yang Hao founded the Fengzhou Economics School and served as the chief teacher himself. In view of the severe shortage of teachers, the students of the Economics Hall learn theory while doing so. Compared with the prosperity of the Wubei Academy, the Economics Hall has been deserted, after all, there are still too few people who agree with this new mode of production in this era.
Yang Hao's plan is to run a school and a factory first, cultivate talents, enlighten wisdom, accumulate experience, and when the time is ripe, from one to two, from two to four, and finally turn the spark into a prairie fire.
The third batch of goods from Feng'an Blanket Factory was shipped to Luoyang. Yang Hao asked Guan Suo to go in person, not to escort the goods, but to send back a shocking news from Luoyang's internal line: Qi Mo, the former commander of the Golden Dao Guard, had joined Mosha and had become a big brother who could command hundreds of killers. Yang Hao is eager to find out the truth of the matter, is Qi Mo desperate to join Mosha, or is there something else hidden?
A few months ago, because Meng Yao helped him kill a silver killer of Mosha in Feng'an, it actually caused an earthquake in the upper echelons of Mosha. Dozens of big brothers (sisters) have been punished, and now that the matter has passed, this account has really been recorded on Yang Hao's head. The Mosha Killer failed to assassinate twice in a row, and this third time was a bloody attempt no matter what.
After returning to Feng'an for nearly a month, Yang Hao took Qing'er and others back to the embassy from Xiangfu Temple, and they were not allowed to go to the embassy at will, but this time it was stricter, except for the courtyard where they lived and the back garden of the embassy, they were not allowed to go. Because he was afraid that the maids and guards would not be able to restrain him, Yang Hao asked Master Guan to sit in the backyard and watch everyone. For the food and tea to drink, the guards must strictly test it in accordance with the methods of drug testing in the palace.
Yu Yanlu selected sixty-eight elite soldiers from the Agni Battalion to protect the security of the embassy together with twenty plainclothes guards from Guan Suo. For 12 hours a day, there must be people on duty in every corner of the embassy, and no idle person or stranger is allowed to approach. Even if Ling Tong, Zhang Huchen and others visit, they must be strictly inspected. Yang Hao also minimized going out and showing his face in public, trying not to give the Assassin a chance to take advantage of it.

"Four to three, oh no, it's three to four, it's not right, alas, Jasmine is four, Winter Rain is three."
A new badminton court was opened in the back garden of the embassy, and all the sports equipment and venues were drawn by Yang Hao for Guan Suo to prepare. Although playing mahjong can kill time, sitting for a long time is obviously not good for the body. Having people chase a small ball with a feather with a net racket was funny at first, but they soon liked the sport. Like Lu Rui and Li Jasmine, they really like it, Xiaoyu likes it when Yang Hao likes her, Qing'er can't say that she likes it, but since Yang Hao asked her to play with her sisters, she didn't dare to shirk it.
Now it's Dongyu and Li Jasmine in the game, Qing'er is the referee, and Qing'er has shouted the wrong score several times in a row. Xiao Yu sat not far behind her, holding her cheeks and squinting, and she would let out a sneer every time she heard Qing'er report an error. It was a warm winter day, and the warm sun shone on the people drowsy.
Li Yunlai and Lu Rui played chess on a stone pier not far away. "I ask you, what are you doing with so many pears? Can one person finish eating? Lu Rui was peeling pears while playing chess, and she had already peeled seven or eight watery autumn pears, neatly stacked in the bamboo basket beside her.
Lu Rui stopped, pursed his lips and smiled without answering. Her slender fingers pushed the knife and continued to walk forward, the juice and fragrance could not stop spreading, and the peeled pear skin hung down like a ribbon. Every moment seems to be broken, but in the end it remains intact.
"Is he coming back?" Li Yunlai lowered her voice and asked quietly.
Lu Rui's face flushed slightly, "Whether he comes back or not has nothing to do with this." β
After Lu Rui finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at Li Yunlai, "I'm just playing with my hands." β
Li Yunlai stopped talking, looked down at the chessboard, and unconsciously Lu Rui had forced her into a desperate situation. This person is not obvious, but his chess skills are so wonderful. I only watched her play a game with Yang Hao before, and Yang Hao's chess skills were vulgar enough, but that time Lu Rui lost to him, and the loss was seamless.
"Don't look at it, you've already lost." Lu Rui lowered his head and said casually while peeling pears.
"What a scheming girl, I can't complain that he loves you alone." Li Yunlai teased.
Lu Rui smiled coquettishly, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Yang Hao went to Yongfeng three days ago, and when he returned to the embassy, it was already dark, and several guards were lighting the lights roughly, but there was no one in the west courtyard. Yang Hao felt the back garden, and before he entered the door, he heard an intoxicating flute sound, which was Lu Rui's flute. Yang Hao never knew that her flute was played so well, and she didn't expect her dancing to be elegant.
It was Li Yunlai and Li Jasmine sisters who led Qing'er and others to learn to dance, although Qing'er and Xiaoyu were also maids of big families, they only cared about learning to serve tea and pour water, laundry and cooking since they were young. Mrs. Zhang is a upright person, she doesn't like singing and dancing, and she hates the maids to pleasing people with singing and dancing. It's a pity that Qing'er and Xiaoyu, two good seedlings, are hard to go short. Against the backdrop of the dancing posture of the Li sisters, it looks even more miserable.
There is still a Lu Rui who can handle it, Dongyu was the first to find out about Yang Hao's arrival, this girl with a stiff waist danced, which had a unique flavor. More than 1,300 years later, the zombie dance may be able to fight with one of them.
Qing'er was panting for breath, seeing Yang Haolai's face flushed with shame, covering his mouth and laughing, the Li sisters stopped dancing, and Lu Rui's flute also stopped. Only the little fish is still twisting tirelessly.
"Did I bother you?"
"Who let you peek, it almost made me flash." Qing'er said angrily, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed again.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Lu Rui proposed. The moment he turned around, his bright eyes glanced at Yang Hao with some resentment. Yang Hao had a tingling feeling in his heart, which he had never felt before.
The reception dinner prepared for Yang Hao is very rich, and the most distinctive dish is a wild yellow sheep hunted by Yang Hao in the west of the city at dusk, which is a wild yellow sheep that is more than a year old, and the meat is tender and fat. The market price is the same as that of gold. Yang Hao gave one to everyone. The Li sisters only drink soup with a spoon, and they look like ladies who are all beautiful. Qing'er and Xiaoyu used chopsticks to separate the flesh and bones before eating, and the eating appearance was quite passable. Only Lu Rui ate and drank heavily, making his mouth full of soup.
Yang Hao couldn't look at it, slapped his chopsticks on the table, glared at Lu Rui, and asked, "Is someone stealing food from you?" Lu Rui stopped his hand and asked in amazement: "No one robbed me." Yang Hao was just about to speak, but was secretly stepped on by Qing'er,
Lu Rui suddenly noticed something, her eyes suddenly turned red, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Everyone persuaded each other, and Lu Rui finally couldn't help but leave the table. Just took two steps but was stopped by Yang Hao: "Where are you going?" Lu Rui held back tears and replied, "I can't eat it." β
Yang Hao snorted and said, "If you don't say hello and leave, who taught you the rules?" Qing'er stepped on Yang Hao again and glared at him fiercely. Standing up, Lu Rui said: "He drank too much, don't pay attention to him." You're not feeling well, I'll send you back to rest. Yang Hao shouted again: "Don't go." β
When Qing'er heard this, she came up and shouted at Yang Hao: "You really drank too much wine, and you have a few people to eat, where did you get so many rules." He grabbed Lu Rui's hand and said, "Ignore him, let's go." "But he walked away. Looking at Yang Hao's helpless appearance, Xiao Yu sneered, squinted his eyes and said, "It's not interesting to talk about yourself." β
"Smack!" With a bang, Yang Hao slapped the table violently. The Li sisters were startled and hurriedly stood up and hid to the side.
"Smack!" Xiao Yu also stood up, staring at Yang Hao with both eyes, and could breathe fire.
Yang Hao lowered his head helplessly, and the dinner party broke up unhappily.
Qing'er helped Lu Rui back to the room and persuaded her a lot. Lu Rui stopped crying, and said with tears in her eyes: "It's me who is not good, and I shouldn't make him angry." It shouldn't involve you. Qing'er couldn't help listening to what she said, and persuaded with a smile: "Although he is a general, sometimes he is still like a child, so don't worry about me." The little fish broke in in a rage, sat on the edge of the bed but did not speak. Qing'er complained: "You are against him again." β
Xiao Yu said: "He asked for it!" He didn't come back for ten days and half a month, and as soon as he came back, he was angry with us. Why let him do this! I think it's you, the good man, who has made me out. β
Qing'er choked hotly when she heard her words, and sneered: "This is another crazy one." You go out, our oil pot will not allow you to add firewood and water. β
Xiao Yu held back his anger when he heard this, and he didn't dare to quarrel with Qing'er, so he turned his face and got angry alone. Lu Rui wiped her tears and persuaded: "Sister Qing, let's go back, if he knows that the three of us are here, he may not know what his anger will be." Qing'er smiled bitterly when she heard this, glanced at Xiaoyu, and shook her head helplessly.
