Two days later, Ye Tongguang and others also arrived in Fuzhou from Shanghai, and established a new general letter room and account office in the Grand Mansion next to the Fuzhou Ship Administration Yamen, that is, the inspection and decision-making center for Hu Chuyuan's business was transferred to Fuzhou.

This time, Hu Chuyuan's return to Fuzhou is to operate China's tea industry with one mind, and if he doesn't do it well, he will not be willing to do it for a day, and he will die blindly.

There can't be a second candidate for the letter room, of course, it is Yan Shizhang, and the next ones are Miao Quansun and Gu Jiaxiang.

The work of the account room is mainly done by Ye Tongguang and Yang Hongbin, and their ability is definitely no problem, but some accounts can't be let them know, Chen Shanyuan can check some, but he can't check every day.

After thinking about it, Hu Chuyuan decided to transfer Pan Limei from the Hangzhou Silk Factory.

After the establishment of the Hangzhou Silk Factory, the silk factory and the local squire businessmen jointly purchased small silk mills in various counties in Hangzhou, all using new 1200-hole Jiangnan looms, trained more than 30,000 skilled weavers, and produced more than 100,000 zhang of high-quality Hangzhou silk.

It is driven by the Hangzhou Silk Factory that the current Hangzhou has become the reeling, dyeing and weaving center of the silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is also the largest silk distribution center in China.

Throughout the process, Pan Limei was one of the witnesses.

She was originally a smart girl, and after three years of training in Hangzhou Silk Factory, she really learned a lot of skills.

Every time he returned to Hangzhou, Hu Chuyuan would go to Hangzhou Silk Factory, and he also saw her a few times during the period, and she gave Hu Chuyuan the feeling that he was indeed becoming more and more shrewd and capable.

All in all, the three years of exercise are worth it.

Hu Chuyuan thought about it and transferred Pan Limei back to deal with the accounts of the silk industry, and at the same time was responsible for collecting all kinds of information about the silk industry and the world, Ye Tongguang was in charge of the trading house and the money house, Yang Hongbin was in charge of the tea industry, and Chen Shanyuan was only responsible for the accounts on the arms.

Each has its own job.

As for the accounts of Yufeng Society, he asked for it himself, and he didn't have to bother others.

After making this decision, he asked people to send a telegram to transfer Pan Limei to the general ledger in Fuzhou.

It was on this day that Li Cunyi came back and invited a few well-known masters that even Hu Chuyuan had heard of, the most famous of which were Liu Qilan, Cheng Tinghua, and Wang Zhengyi, and the rest of Zhang Jingxing, Huang Shihai, Li Shuwen, Wang Zhongquan, Zhang Zhankui and others were not idle people.

Cheng Tinghua is the direct descendant of Baguazhang, and Wang Zhengyi is the legendary fifth king of the big sword.

Liu Qilan is Li Cunyi's master, so he naturally wants to help, Cheng Tinghua and Li Cunyi are fellow villagers, and Li Cunyi's gossip knife technique is passed on by Cheng Tinghua's substitute teacher Dong Haichuan.

Wang Zhengyi was invited by Cheng Tinghua, the lightning hands Zhang Zhankui and Li Cunyi are righteous brothers, and they must come, Zhang Jingxing and Huang Shihai were invited by Liu Qilan, and the two of them felt that they were a little old, and they might not be able to take advantage of the fight with him, so they brought their most proud disciples Li Shuwen and Wang Zhongquan respectively.

Xingyi, gossip, eight poles.

Three elites gathered, and these are Li Cunyi's relationship networks on the rivers and lakes, he first learned Xingyi Boxing, and then under the recommendation of Liu Qilan, he learned Bajiquan with Zhang Jingxing for three years, and after going to Yanjing, he met Cheng Tinghua, a fellow villager in Shenzhou, Hebei, and learned Bagua Palm and Bagua Knife through Cheng Tinghua.

Liu Qilan's learning is also more complicated, Li Cunyi is his senior apprentice, so he naturally learned more, and the old Miao knife used that day was learned from Liu Qilan.

Because Liu Qilan is the oldest and senior, everyone takes him as the leader.

Seeing that they had their own set of etiquette and relationships, Hu Chuyuan pushed the boat down the river and hired Liu Qilan as the chief nurse of the Hu family, with an annual silver of 1,000 taels of silver. Zhang Jingxing and Cheng Tinghua are also known as grandmasters, and they are given the title of deputy chief nurse, with an annual silver of eight hundred taels.

When everyone heard this, they were very happy, but what they wanted to do more was to compete with Yue himself, prepare for the Shanghai Sports Conference, and spread the Xingyi Boxing, Baguazhang and Baji Boxing from the north to Shanghai, and play the famous Fuzhou Sports Association in Shanghai...... This is exempt.

Shanghai is a blank, so you can go, Fuzhou has always been the territory of southern boxing, and you can't come to Fuzhou to kick the restaurant.

Hu Chuyuan didn't particularly care about this matter, but he was enthusiastic on the surface, and he contributed money and effort to the house and relationship, but in fact, it was all handed over to Liu Qilan and Zhang Jingxing to handle.

There is always someone around him who is responsible for protecting, Cheng Tinghua, Wang Zhengyi, Huang Shihai and Li Cunyi stayed, responsible for protecting Hu Chuyuan, while also instructing other nursing homes and personal soldiers to practice martial arts.

These people.

Hu Chuyuan sighed in his heart, but he was still quite supportive, money, he had it.

Hu Chuyuan soon invited Huang Shihai to the Fujian Navy Division, taught the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to practice martial arts, served as a martial arts instructor of the Sailor Division, and invited Wang Zhengyi to Xiangying to teach martial arts.

In fact, only Cheng Tinghua and Li Cunyi really stayed by Hu Chuyuan's side, Wang Zhongquan and Li Shuwen were also serving as nurses, but they seemed to have failed to succeed in their studies, they were practicing hard every day, and they were really not too old, so Hu Chuyuan didn't take it to heart.

Hu Chuyuan also wants to live a long life, and it just so happens that a generation of grandmasters like Cheng Tinghua is here, so he asked Cheng Tinghua to teach him a little basic Baguazhang, which can be used for fitness, Cheng Tinghua did not refuse, and taught him a few fancy routines, which are used to exercise qi and blood and flexible surnames for body, hands, legs and feet.

On this day, the two of them were teaching and learning in the Yamen Garden, and Li Cunyi hurriedly walked in and told Hu Chuyuan: "My lord, my subordinates have something to say. ”

Hey!

Hu Chuyuan snickered in his heart, this Li Cunyi broke into his camp tent, and he really caused a lot of trouble, but fortunately, these things should indeed be done.

He continued to cut his hands with Cheng Tinghua, but said: "If you have something, just say it, when will you not be allowed to speak!" ”

Li Cunyi said: "My lord, your nursing homes are all old fritters in Zhejiang, it's not easy to teach, your personal soldiers are all the elite of the Hunan battalion, to be honest, they have the ability to shoot, but they may not all be good material for martial arts." I always feel that the soldiers around you must be able to shoot their guns with both hands, and their kung fu must be first-class. ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled, he actually admired Li Cunyi, a person who likes to use his brain, so he said, "Then what should you do?" ”

Li Cunyi suddenly hesitated a little, and said honestly: "My lord, your family's nursing home is too old, and I really can't teach it." As soon as I make a move, I can stop them, but if I ask them to learn tricks from me, they will drag the foreign workers. As for the soldiers, I'm not from Hunan, and I can't command! ”

"Hah!"

Hu Chuyuan laughed, he knew that this was the case.

This kind of thing is inevitable, the Hu family's general nursing home has always been from Hangzhou, and suddenly invited people from the north to come, and everyone didn't say anything, and they were not happy in their hearts.

He stopped, thought about it for a while, and said to Li Cunyi: "My nursing home here are all people who have contributed to our old Hu family, and most of them are still recruited by my father at that time. There is no other power, but faithfulness. In this way, I will ask the second housekeeper to arrange it, and let them all return to the compound in Hangzhou and Shanghai one after another. You recruit a new batch tomorrow, it doesn't matter where the specific person is, just good kung fu and good skills. As for the soldiers, you invite a bright-eyed master to go to Huizhou, and ask Hu Changnian, the shopkeeper of Huizhou, to recruit a new batch, two or three hundred people. Although you are not from the same nationality, wouldn't it be better if you accept a few really talented disciples as disciples? ”

Li Cunyi was overjoyed and said, "Then the subordinates will do it." ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded and asked him to do it.

When he left, Hu Chuyuan continued Cheng Tinghua to cut his palms and practice Baguazhang along the way.

After a while, Cheng Tinghua said to Hu Chuyuan: "Brother Cunyi is a very good person, his sword skills should be said to be second only to Mr. Wang Wu in my generation, but the time to practice Baguazhang and Bagua knife skills is not long, if you can integrate it, you will be able to form a school of its own." ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled.

He wasn't really interested in any of that.

Cheng Tinghua is actually quite shrewd, and he can generally see it, but to say that Hu Chuyuan despises these martial artists, it is not right, he still attaches great importance to it, but he is not very interested.

Regardless of Hu Chuyuan's interest, he still teaches very seriously, if he can benefit from Hu Chuyuan's status and fame in society, so that Baguazhang is widely spread among the people, this is also a blessing for the teacher.

Baguazhang, Hu Chuyuan has also practiced for more than ten days, how can you say it...... It's still pretty boring!

When he practiced at dusk, he stopped, wiped his sweat, and asked Cheng Tinghua: "Mr. Cheng, don't you think it's quite difficult to start gossiping, and there are too many requirements." I think that what is lacking in China at the moment is not a martial arts, but also a kung fu that everyone can practice and everyone can strengthen their bodies. This set of palms should be simple, divided into several levels, starting from the simplest routines, through several routines to simplify to complex, from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult. ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Tinghua was slightly stunned, and then said: "If you want to practice any kung fu well, the foundation is always the most critical, like you, it is the most taboo to skip over and learn the palm method directly, and it will be difficult to practice solidly in the future." Martial arts is like this, when the master passed it on to me, the foundation alone made me stick for three years, coming and going is a mud leg, playing cross-palms, a hundred times more boring than what you are learning now. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Of course, what the adults said is also right, not everyone wants to become a martial arts master, more people just want to be healthy." If possible, I recently pondered to see if I could disassemble the journey of gossip and teach it slowly at several levels. ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled, he actually liked this Cheng Tinghua a lot, unlike Liu Qilan, Li Cunyi and others, Cheng Tinghua was one year younger than Li Cunyi, but he had a real master temperament, and he talked pleasantly.

Of course, in terms of appearance, body shape, temperament, and connections, Cheng Tinghua does have his outstanding points, which can be said to be a talent.

Li Cunyi can also be regarded as dignified, compared with him, no matter how you look at it, he is a supporting role.

If it is left in 130 years, it will definitely be much more popular than Jet Li and Donnie Yen.

In general, Hu Chuyuan just admires Cheng Tinghua more, he has to do these things in the Guoshu Pavilion after all, but he will not do it himself, Cheng Tinghua is a very good candidate.

At present, let Liu Qilan do it, mainly because Liu Qilan has a high seniority, wide popularity, and strong appeal, he raised his arms and shouted, Guo Yunshen, Che Yonghong, Song Shirong, Li Guangheng...... These people will be invited, and they are all brothers.

Guo Yunshen and Li Guangheng have more disciples, and they are all masters of Li Cunyi's level.

said that if I come again, I will come, and then it will be none of Hu Chuyuan's business.

The affairs on the rivers and lakes are solved by the people of the rivers and lakes themselves.

Anyway, there was no big event in the past two days, Hu Chuyuan asked Cheng Tinghua to continue to drink tea with him and talk about those things in Yanjing City, because the people who learn gossip are mainly the children of the rich and wealthy families in the capital, and Cheng Tinghua's status in Beijing is very high, and he knows a lot of things.

The two inadvertently talked about Jing Lian, it turned out that Jing Lian also followed Cheng Tinghua to learn gossip for two years, and like Hu Chuyuan, he basically didn't endure hardships, and all he learned was fancy, and he still made a living by beating his wife and maids.

As he was talking, Cheng Tinghua suddenly remembered, and asked Hu Chuyuan: "My lord, can Chen Shanyuan learn gossip with me, I watched him learn Miao Dao old frame and small frame with Li Cunyi a few days ago, and I feel that he is a very flexible person, and I want to give some advice." ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled: "Yes, this is a good thing, do you want to be a disciple in the room, or do you just look at my face and give a hand?" ”

Cheng Tinghua thought about it carefully for a while, and said: "I can't talk about the disciple in the room, I think he can learn to live a real life, anyway, I teach with my heart, how much I teach, whether he is willing to apprentice or not, that's his business." If he refuses, I can recommend him to others, in fact, he learns the kung fu of the Baji Gate to lay a good foundation, and then learns the gossip, supplemented by Xingyi, ten years of hard work, may not be worse than me! ”

Hu Chuyuan secretly spoke, thinking to himself, it is not easy for these people to become famous, and everyone has worked hard for more than ten years.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the young man Li Wenwen these days, who is about the same age as him, grabs the tail of a big gun weighing more than 100 catties with one hand every day, keeps shaking it, and uses all the strength of his body.

It's very boring, from the left hand to the right hand, and then from the right hand to the left hand, for seven or eight days.

But that's it, practicing a unique skill to the end, it's also amazing.

Cheng Tinghua said another thing, he said: "Actually, I went south with Master Wang Wu this time, just to fight with Yue himself and see what level of Yue Ben's martial arts is." ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "That's quite easy, I guess I will come back soon, they, if they don't prove that they are the best Asian race, they will definitely not give up." ”

Cheng Tinghua sneered a little and said: "Meaningless disputes, people have their own strengths, how can you say that they are superior or inferior?" Since they have such thoughts, then I can't be too polite with them, and if they come again, I can deal with them first. ”

Hu Chuyuan is very interesting, no matter what, he is also a generation of Baguazhang grandmasters.

He said: "I'm not afraid of anything else, it's just that my knife is very sharp, and Li Cunyi's single knife was cut out of a few gaps." ”

Cheng Tinghua was very calm and said: "Everyone has their own skills, and this is not a shameful thing." Now that it is the era of foreign guns, there are those who study steel knives, we might as well put more energy into making foreign guns. When facing the enemy, I will choose a heavier steel knife. ”

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said: "Fuzhou Iron and Steel Plant has been researching new steel materials recently, you might as well invite a few masters of knife casting from Yanjing to come over and use ready-made military materials to make a few good knives, at least not too much, so that everyone can give full play to their strengths." ”

Cheng Tinghua said: "This is also a good thing, then I will write a letter to a few friends tonight, inviting them to go south to Fuzhou and conspire together." ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded, and was about to ask what type of steel knife the Bagua Sect used, when he remembered a pleasant shout outside the Yamen Garden.

"Young master, I'll be back!"

Listening to that voice, I don't know how happy it is.

Hu Chuyuan knew that it was Pan Limei's little girl without looking at it, but when he looked up, he saw that Pan Limei had already run into the garden in a hurry, she was really an unforgettable beautiful woman.

At this time, she was wearing a pink satin placket and trousers, which were very close-fitting, and she could support the beautiful and seductive youthful lines, which were exquisitely convex and concave, making people reverie Fei Fei.

I don't know when, she also tied up the thick braids of a girl from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, black and beautiful, and she was so cute.

The beauty of her appearance, the fairness of her skin, and the exquisiteness of her figure are truly amazing.

A few years have passed, and she has really become more and more feminine, beautiful like a goblin who can hook souls.

Pan Limei only brought a very small package, and when she saw Hu Chuyuan, she smiled unruly, and beckoned: "Young master, you finally got me out of Hangzhou, I have worked so hard for three years!" ”

"It's a blessing to endure hardship."

Hu Chuyuan chuckled, introduced Cheng Tinghua again, and said, "Limei, see Mr. Cheng, he can also be regarded as my master!" ”

"Don't dare to be, my lord is serious!"

Cheng Tinghua hurriedly excused himself, and because of etiquette, he just nodded slightly with Pan Limei and didn't say anything.

Pan Limei greeted Cheng Tinghua sweetly, and said to Hu Chuyuan: "Young master, I heard that a few days ago, I said that I made trouble with you, and I did it, how can this be true...... Butler Wang also said, you have found a lot of masters to escort you. Actually, my father also knows a few very famous swordsmen in this book, so it's better to find them to compare, know yourself and your opponent, and win all battles! ”

"Oh?"

Only then did Hu Chuyuan remember that Koji Nakamura was actually a samurai, but he didn't know whether he was good at learning or not.

But this kind of trick seems to have a little bit of a trick, so he looked at Cheng Tinghua, meaning to let him decide.

Cheng Tinghua said: "Why not? Victory and defeat are secondary, face is secondary, the key is to learn from each other and increase knowledge. If we can sum up a new set of kung fu to deal with this technique, that is the most important thing, and it is also the purpose of me and Master Wang Wu going south. ”

Speaking of this, he said to Hu Chuyuan again: "It stands to reason that the old frame and small frame of Miao Dao are spread in the Qi family's army, and they are specially used to deal with the Japanese knife technique, but Li Cunyi came to tell me last time, it doesn't seem to be very right. As soon as he said that, I was intrigued. I pondered, other people's kung fu is also constantly improving, and it changes every year. ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly, and also hummed, admiring Cheng Tinghua and Wang Zhengyi more and more.
