Chen Liqing didn't know that he was remembered by Song Ziwen. Of course, even if he knew, he didn't care at all. In the next few days, Chen Liqing was almost too busy to think about Song Ziwen.

Since that Sanlian chaos, Yin Xiu in the vegetable market has basically not been disturbed, but because they defeated the boss of the Sanlian Society, they have become famous in a small area in the vegetable market. As a result, their vegetable business got off to a good start at the beginning.

Since then, coupled with the quality of their vegetables, their vegetable business has become a small fire in the vegetable market in Osaka, and the four boatloads of vegetables and grains brought in have been sold out in just three days. Of course, the price is only slightly expensive at most, which I can accept.

With good quality and a good image, their high-quality vegetables have gained a certain reputation among the citizens of Osaka in just three days. Although the quality of the vegetables was delayed for a few days due to transportation problems, Chen Liqing basically chose the kind of vegetables that are resistant to storage and transportation, and the quality was only affected a little. However, these still do not affect the quality and taste of the vegetables.

As for the problem of the people's contempt for the Chinese, in the vegetable market, those uncles and aunts who buy vegetables and rice do not have this concept. And even now, most of the people who have contempt and condescension for the Chinese are just some more radical young people.

Naturally, their dumping of their vegetables in this way has had an impact on the business of other people in the vegetable market, but because of the incident of the Triad Society, even some people do not dare to act rashly when they look at their business.

At the same time as the vegetable business started, the tobacco business on the Wax side also developed quickly, and after cooperating with the tobacco company in Yuben, in just three days, their tobacco business also achieved remarkable results, bringing more than 300 boxes of tobacco, which were also sold out in just three days.

With such a good start, when Chen Liqing was excited and happy, he couldn't help but have a lot of worries.

Business is too good, then there will simply not be enough of their ships. The various supplies brought with them could only support the consumption for three or three days, and after three days, they had to go back to replenish the goods.

At the same time, most of the goods they brought this time were brought to test the water, and it was Chen Liqing's temporary idea, if you want to really form a large-scale industrial supply chain, then Chen Liqing has to go to Fangchenggang to arrange.

Thinking about these things, Chen Liqing felt that his head was big.

Fortunately, now that the first shot has been fired, everything is difficult at the beginning, the first step has been done, how difficult can it be next?

took the lead in putting aside all kinds of problems, and this trip to this book ended early. On April 25, Chen Liqing had to go back to Fangchenggang to replenish the goods.

Of course, before leaving, he took Yin Xiu and Yin Li with him, and at the same time let Xie Haiyang, Yang Shuzhuang, Wax and others stay.

Xie Haiyang is responsible for a series of things such as opening a boutique supermarket, site selection, and decoration, and Yangshuzhuang is responsible for recruiting people and raising transit companies. Left a group of people, Chen Liqing's trip to this time was only able to bring a few pieces of machinery and end hastily.

The time entered May, the spring of the northern hemisphere came, and on the way back, the weather was very good and the sky was clear.

Looking at the expectant appearance of the jade man at the bow of the boat, Chen Liqing lost his mind slightly.

Yin Xiu, this girl who is almost ten ** years old, Chen Liqing doesn't know why he wants to help her, since he saw Yin Xiu, Chen Liqing suddenly found that his heart was a little throbbing.

Counting that Chen Liqing is twelve years old this year, and his body has begun to **, when he wakes up in the morning, Chen Liqing will find that his little brother is standing tall in the sky. Thinking about the changes in the body, is it possible that I really want to start thinking about spring?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Liqing subconsciously leaned forward.

"Sister Yin Xiu, what are you looking at, we probably have three days left to dock?" From Yin Xiu's mouths for a long time, Chen Liqing knew that Yin Xiu was a person from Zhejiang. However, this time when he returned to China, Chen Liqing still did not go to Shanghai to dock. Although Shanghai is now Chen Qimei's territory, relying on the distribution of benefits given by Chen Liqing, if they want to dock, notify Chen Gongzhe and them, and Chen Qimei will arrange their docking affairs properly.

At the same time, Shanghai is also close to the capital, and if they really want to use Shanghai as a base, their cargo transportation problem can be easily solved.

However, Chen Liqing was not ready to go to Shanghai to dock.

At this time, China is already the world of the Beiyang, and if there are suddenly a few more Chinese ships in the near sea, I am afraid that before Chen Liqing's actions, the few ships in his hands will disappear at once. At the same time, if their strength is exposed, maybe Yuan Shikai noticed his family in advance, which would be inconsistent with his low-key policy.

"Liqing, it's nothing, I'm just looking at the scenery." Hearing Chen Liqing's voice, Yin Xiu suddenly turned her head, and her good-looking face was involuntarily dyed with a touch of crimson.

"Scenery, Sister Yin Xiu, this is homesick, right?" Chen Liqing pierced Yin Xiu's mind.

"Yes, I'm homesick." was punctured, Yin Xiu did not deny it and nodded slightly.

"Homesick, hey, I'm actually quite homesick too." Chen Liqing sighed slightly, but his heart involuntarily flew to the family in his previous life. It has been more than three years since he came to **, and he can be regarded as barely realizing his first step wish, and he has also become a trustworthy person in the eyes of Chen Mingren and Zhang Xianmo, and he has a lot of weight in Guizhou. However, no one can understand his mind, he does not belong to this era, and what he strives to do is actually because of the influence of education in his previous life. In fact, what he really wants is to live in his time, although he has no money and no power, everything is convenient, and most importantly, his family.

Although there is also a family here, and Chen Liqing has given him enough love, Chen Liqing feels that he has always been a foreign guest, and he has done everything he can just to repay the family. In fact, every night in the dead of night, Chen Liqing will be very lonely.

Sleeping alone, thinking alone, there is no one around him to talk to, at that time, it is considered his most vulnerable time. And when he got up during the day, he had to pretend that he could do anything, I have to say that although this life has only been three years, Chen Liqing is tired, and no one has told him about his tiredness.

"Liqing, you ......" Turning his head to look at the loneliness and longing that suddenly appeared on Chen Liqing's little face, Yin Xiu was suddenly stunned. This is the first time she has seen Chen Liqing show such a deep side, in normal times, Chen Liqing always gives her the feeling that everything is under control, and now, looking at Chen Liqing's appearance, she suddenly realized that Chen Liqing is younger than his younger brothers.

"Liqing, it's okay, aren't you going home soon?" Subconsciously, Yin Xiu's heart was touched by a softness somewhere, and she couldn't help but gently put her hand on Chen Liqing's shoulder to comfort Chen Liqing.

Smelling the faint fragrance and feeling a trace of strength on his shoulder, Chen Liqing's frustration just now put away.

"Hehe, it's okay, thank you Sister Yin Xiu. I'm fine, just sighing once in a while. Quickly put away the expression on his face, Chen Liqing didn't know why he showed his heart in front of Yin Xiu, and in the end he only blamed himself for probably seeing a woman involuntarily pretending to be deep, this is a disease.

Chen Liqing shook his head, threw out his messy thoughts, looked at Yin Xiu again and couldn't help but change the topic: "Sister Yin Xiu, this time back to China, go home, what other plans do you have?" ”

"Intended?" Yin Xiu looked at Chen Liqing, whose face suddenly changed again, and his heart was slightly touched. However, when she heard this, she thought for a moment: "I don't have any plans, rather than stay at home, I'd rather stay at home with my brother." ”

After more than a year of wandering around, there is no more expectation for Yin Xiu than a stable and stable one.

"Stay at home, what about the landlord's son that Yin Li hurts, in case you come home, they still won't let you go?" Chen Liqing couldn't help but understand.

"This ......" Yin Xiu was asked, and she quickly shook her head: "I don't know." ”

"Also, Sister Yin Xiu, you are now eighteen years old, and when you return home, you may be married by your parents, have you ever thought about it?" After Chen Liqing nodded slightly, he threw out another question. I don't know why, thinking that Yin Xiu is going to marry someone from the old era when he goes back, he can't even think about it.

Yin Xiu's face couldn't help but change again, "I, I don't know." ”

She hadn't thought about it at all, or even didn't dare to think about it.

"I don't know." Chen Liqing nodded, and then said, "Sister Yin Xiu, why don't I hire you to be my translator and secretary, one hundred yuan a month, and follow me." And Brother Yin Li, how about the two of you go home to take a look, and then turn around and work for us? ”

"Work for you, become a secretary?" Yin Xiu looked at Chen Liqing, thinking about the meaning of the secretary.

"Yes, Sister Yin Xiu, for a long time in the next few days, I will come and go back to this book many times, to do some things, without a person who can speak by my side, it is really inconvenient. And Sister Yin Xiu, if you haven't thought about facing the landlord and thinking about getting married and having children, then you might as well follow us to do something first, and Brother Yin Li, you don't want him to go into obscurity like this. I can see that Brother Yin Li is a person with big ambitions. Chen Liqing said this hard.

To tell the truth, he is now, it seems, he really has some heart for Yin Xiu, and when he said this, he actually wanted Yin Xiu to stay by his side and wait for him to grow up. He can naturally see that Yin Xiu is the kind of woman who cares about the family but has no literary atmosphere, this kind of woman is a traditional Chinese woman, Chen Liqing does not reject this kind of woman, on the contrary, from the moment he saw Yin Xiu, he had an inexplicable good feeling.

On the one hand, these words were made out of selfishness, and on the other hand, they were also for formal work. Speaking that thing, to be honest, Chen Liqing really doesn't want to learn, even if he wants to work in Yueben, he has a lot of time to learn now, and he doesn't want to learn at all.

"This ...... I ......" Yin Xiu naturally didn't expect Chen Liqing to suddenly send out an invitation, and she naturally couldn't decide for a while.

"It's okay, Sister Yin Xiu, you don't have to decide so quickly now, you can still discuss it with Brother Yin Li, or you can discuss it after you get home this time. Of course, if Sister Yin Xiu can't rest assured of her family, she can also take her family over and we will arrange jobs for them, we are lacking all kinds of manpower here. Looking at Yin Xiu's appearance, Chen Liqing hurriedly said the conditions again.

"Well, that's okay." Yin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded reluctantly.

Chen Liqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Defend the city.

Yuan Baoyi looked at Chen Bingkun, who was known as the envoy sent by Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi, and couldn't help but feel a little headache. He followed Chen Liqing's intentions, developed in a low-key manner, only occupied and controlled the area of the fortified city, and then shrank up to train troops. I didn't pay attention to others, and I didn't mess with others, however, trouble came to my door after all.

Chen Bingkun has arrived.

"Battalion Commander Yuan, this time I came to convey the meaning of our overseers, and there is no other meaning, if Battalion Commander Yuan is really in trouble, our overseers will not embarrass Battalion Commander Yuan." Chen Bingkun spoke, although he said modestly, but Yuan Baoyi knew that Chen Bingkun was not modest at all.

Fangcheng is only less than 150 kilometers away from Nanning, Guangxi, and with Yuan Baoyi's army that suddenly appeared at such a close distance, who can sit safely.

Originally, the provincial capital of Guangxi was in Guilin, but Nanning was Lu Rongting's lair, and after the governor sat down, Lu Rongting changed the provincial capital to Nanning under the pretext of returning to Nanning again. Before, they were still dealing with miscellaneous matters in various aspects, but now that the miscellaneous matters have been dealt with, they learned that there was actually an army coming out of Fangcheng in Guangdong, and Lu Rongting was inevitably a little worried. So he sent Chen Bingkun, a talented talent who had studied in the Gui family, to come over to find out the tone of this newly emerging army.

Of course, although Fangcheng does not belong to Guangxi at present, it does not prevent Lu Rongting from reaching out to Guangdong. Although Lu Rongting does not have the mind of Liangguang at present, it does not prevent him from taking the lead in making some arrangements.

"This, if the governor can afford to look down again, it is naturally an honor for Yuan. It's just that at present, Fangcheng is not what Yuan said, and Yuan still needs to discuss with other colleagues to make a decision. In the face of Chen Bingkun's temptation, Yuan Baoyi used a procrastination trick.

Chen Liqing had already told him about Lu Rongting, and also asked him to pay close attention to Lu Rongting, Lu Rongting's arrival, Chen Liqing could be said to have expected it. And now, Chen Liqing is not in Fangcheng, but Lu Rongting has come first, and Yuan Baoyi can't make up his mind alone.

"In this way, it's okay, Bingkun hasn't been to Fangcheng either, I heard that Fangcheng also has a lot of interesting things, Bingkun can wait for Camp Commander Yuan." Chen Bingkun naturally expected Yuan Baoyi's attitude, waved his hand when he heard the words, and then took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to stay in Fangcheng and go shopping.

Yuan Baoyi naturally knew this kind of thing, and this was Chen Bingkun's desire to take an opportunity to take a look at the strength of Fangcheng.

"No problem, I'll ask someone to take Brother Chen around." Yuan Baoyi naturally couldn't ask for it, so he immediately asked someone to arrange a residence for Chen Bingkun and arrange the visit process.

"Someone." And after everything was arranged, Yuan Baoyi called someone.

"Call County Magistrate Huo over, and, go and check when the young master's fleet will come back, is the young master coming back?"

"Yes."

After the arrangement, Yuan Baoyi's mood barely settled down.

"Master Chen, it seems that this Yuan Baoyi seems to be just a timid and fearful person, do you need to treat him so cautiously?" Out of Yuan Baoyi's residence, Chen Bingkun's entourage couldn't help but step forward.

"Cowardly and afraid, where did you see that?" When Chen Bingkun heard this, he couldn't help but glance at his entourage.

"He didn't dare to send troops to suppress bandits, isn't he cowardly and afraid?" The attendant said. They came this time on the order of Lu Rongting to invite Yuan Baoyi to suppress the bandits together. The reason is that there is a group of bandits in a place called Bazhaigou between Fangcheng and Nanning that threatens Lu Rongting's rule, and when Lu Rongting learns about it, he immediately invites the battalion commanders from all over the country to suppress the bandits.

Of course, the suppression of bandits is naturally fake, and there are more bandits in Guangxi in this era. One more is not more, one less is not less, Lu Rongting and his gang are still transformed from bandits. The real reason for suppressing bandits was that Lu Rongting was not worried about other people's armies, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to understand the military strength of various places, so that he could think of countermeasures to recover and suppress them.

"Is this cowardice?" Chen Bingkun couldn't help but glance at his entourage.

"Isn't it?" The entourage has no culture, so he can't help but touch his head.

Chen Bingkun ignored his entourage and observed some changes in the defense city by himself. His task this time was to find out Yuan Baoyi's strength and the situation of the defense city, so he didn't have the heart to say some irrelevant things to his entourage.

It's just that when he made this observation, he felt that Fangcheng had a different atmosphere. The peasants walking on the street live a completely different life from other cities, and Chen Bingkun can even see on their faces the hope for a future life.

"Is this a defense city?"

Chen Bingkun immediately felt that this defense city was different from the defense city he had a few years ago, and what was the difference, he couldn't see it for a while.

"It's been paid, what's the matter, old bolt, I'm going to have a good time after I get paid today?" When Chen Bingkun was walking on the street, suddenly there was a conversation around him.

"Rub it off, that's okay, I heard that the hot pot restaurant has a new dish, and it tastes good." Chen Bingkun turned his head sideways and saw two peasants walking away, discussing something.

Chen Bingkun immediately became interested, and subconsciously followed the two.

"Lao Shu, this month, how much can you receive, I heard that your factory seems to be selling fertilizer this time, and the benefits seem to be good, you should have a bonus this month, right?"

"I heard that there is a bonus of two yuan, and when you add up the salary, it seems that you can make more than 20 yuan this month." The man replied, "Tut, I really can't imagine that my Hua Lao Bolt is at this age, and I can still make money." I have to thank us for defending the city and the political axe. ”

"Yes, if we didn't have Commander Yuan, we would still be able to make money? I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death a long time ago The man quickly sighed as well.

The brief conversation between the two suddenly caused a question mark in Chen Bingkun's heart. (To be continued.) )
