Chapter 179: The Hometown Is Still the Same

Zhou Hao has been busy with orphans over the years, and under his vigorous promotion, not only have many orphans adopted by Crouching Tiger Village, but he even built the orphanage far away, and sent the elites in Zhuangzi to be responsible for cultivating the descendants of Crouching Tiger Village in various places, and has always provided a steady stream of talents for Gao Huaiyuan.

Even a group of teenagers who like to read in their early years, some of them also participated in the imperial examination last year, and many people have passed the state examination, and they will take the provincial examination this year, if someone passes, they will participate in the palace examination of the imperial court before this winter, so that it will not be long before the civil officials will appear among their talents in Crouching Tiger Village, paving the way for Gao Huaiyuan's future development in advance, in addition, they have also funded some children of poor families to study under the proposal of Jia Qi over the years, Offering them to participate in the imperial examination, these people will also have people who will get ahead in the future and become Gao Huaiyuan's help.

But Zhou Hao's key work is to continuously cultivate military talents for Gao Huaiyuan, each orphanage basically focuses on the cultivation of military literacy, as long as they reach the age of sixteen, they will immediately be transported to various armies as soldiers, many of them can quickly be promoted, become low-level officers, it can be said that after so many years of transportation, many of the Great Song Dynasty army have the shadow of the Crouching Tiger Zhuang people, so that their intelligence network is further expanded, and the military and civil affairs of various places can be quickly transmitted to Jia Qi, and was assigned by Judge to his subordinates for classification, and a fairly complete intelligence network was formed over the years.

As for the workshop closest to Zhuangzi at the moment, I'm afraid it is even a copper mine, in recent years, Xue Yan has led people to discover a few more pits, and the output of copper mines has now reached the boss of several copper mines in Daye County, and they have established several copper smelting in a row, basically producing their own ore and smelting themselves, and obtaining a lot of copper and iron reserves.

For the sake of safety, the original copper and iron workshop for making cannons and weapons and armor has moved these affairs to Laiwu, Shandong Province to re-expand, where the emperor is far away, and no one can control them, and now the iron work only produces some agricultural tools or some machinery, so that this place will gradually open up, and important craftsmen will be transferred to Laiwu Iron Smelting to become a member of the Flying Tiger Army.

As for the artillery they prepared before, some of them have been transferred to the Flying Tiger Army, and they are temporarily stored in several warehouses in Haizhou, Laiwu and Mizhou, and most of the artillery that they have trained and prepared have also been transferred to the Flying Tiger Army and hidden as treasures, only a small part has not been sent, Gao Huaiyuan pondered for a while, and ordered Xue Yan to disassemble and pack them when he returned to Beijing this time, and transport them to the official ship to return to Beijing with him, and at the same time asked Zhou Hao to select twenty gunners for him, fill them into his own soldiers, and bring them back to Beijing for later use, Gao Huaiyuan was thinking, the current situation in the Beijing division is complicated, and since his intervention has already changed the historical path of political development, anything that can be said may appear, and he has to keep a hand for himself in case of emergency.

There are two large places left in Crouching Tiger Village, one is a pigeon farm where they have been domesticating pigeons, and the other is a dog farm that specializes in providing high-breed dogs for Crouching Tiger Village.

The pigeon farm is still presided over by Liu Fugui, now his pigeons are no longer won by quantity, but have long been turned into training full-time carrier pigeon breeders, and then handed over to the local breeding to build a communication network, Liu Fugui has not seen this in recent years, but now it looks younger, people also seem to be refreshed a lot, after seeing Gao Huaiyuan, Liu Fugui pulled his little son to kneel down to Gao Huaiyuan kowtow to ask for peace, in Liu Fugui's life, never thought of marrying a daughter-in-law, but also gave him a son, All this can be said to be thanks to Gao Huaiyuan, now he is living a very comfortable life, wholeheartedly in Gao Huaiyuan to train carrier pigeons, in order to repay Gao Huaiyuan for his kindness.

And the dog farm has now been greatly developed, distributed all over the drunken fairy building has a task, that is, once a good dog is found in the local area, it will be purchased with a lot of money, and then sent back to Crouching Tiger Village to be domesticated, and cross-breeding to breed more aggressive and obedient dog breeds, at present nearly 100 fierce dogs of all colors have been domesticated, including dog breeds that are good at tracking, and dog breeds that can be used to guard, and also selected a very aggressive dog breed, especially to Gao Huaiyuan is happy that he actually saw several huge fierce dogs in the dog farm.

Isn't this a Tibetan mastiff? Gao Huaiyuan ran over excitedly.

Hearing only a roar, a Tibetan mastiff as fierce as a lion cub pounced on Gao Huaiyuan, if it weren't for the chained iron chain that finally pulled it, Gao Huaiyuan might be unlucky this time, at least he would be bitten hard, so scared that Gao Huaiyuan jumped back with a brisk walk.

Zhao Tong, who has been in charge of raising dogs, hurriedly scolded the Tibetan mastiff and made it lie down, and then hurriedly went to Gao Huaiyuan to apologize: Please forgive the young master, these dogs are Tibetan mastiffs, and they are the puppies that Chengdu Mansion bought from the Tibetan tribes the year before last and sent them back to Zhuangzi. Just now, the little one was so happy that he forgot to remind the young master and ask the young master to punish him!

It's too late for Gao Huaiyuan to be happy at this time, where will he reprimand Zhao Tong! He laughed and looked at these little lion-like Tibetan mastiffs from a distance, these Tibetan mastiffs at the moment can be said to be much purer than all the Tibetan mastiff breeds he saw in later generations, just looking at their eyes, he felt a little chilling, he remembered the plan of the year, if one day if a fierce dog army can be established, it will be a very effective way to deal with cavalry.

Very good! That's great! Zhao Tong, you have to serve these guys well, these guys are not heat tolerant, you must pay attention to protect them, let them breed more puppies as soon as possible, and I will send them to great use when I go back! Other dogs are also very good, to carefully raise, a large number of breeding dogs, this time to select some good dogs for me, when I go back with me back to Beijing, I didn't expect Zhao Tong you to raise dogs is really careful, do it well! Don't underestimate this! Gao Huaiyuan looked at the Tibetan mastiffs staring at him with love and fear, and said to Zhao Tong with joy.

Zhao Tong bowed and said: Please rest assured, the little master has never seen this kind of errand, as long as the young master is useful, the little one will never neglect this matter!

Zhou Hao said with a smile at this time: Zhao Tong has not been easy these years, I don't know how many times he has been bitten by a new dog, and even lost his life by a fierce dog twice, but he still waits for these guys carefully, and now it can be said that no one dares to approach Crouching Tiger Village, and the safety around Zhuangzi is basically handed over to these guys! Even Zhao Tong now has a nickname, called Dog Head, and now there are so many dogs in Zhuangzi, seeing him all affectionate to death, even I feel a little jealous!

Gao Huaiyuan praised Zhao Tong again and again, and rewarded Zhao Tong with 500 yuan, so that Zhao Tong was not grateful, and then turned his head and said to Zhou Hao: In fact, you have worked hard all these years, looking at such a big fortune for me, but you don't seek fame and fortune, many of the people who are sent out from under your hands are already officers in the army, Huang Yan has become a commander, and the official residence is seven grades, but you are still a person in cloth, I don't know how to repay you brother!

Zhou Hao smiled indifferently and said: You are my eldest brother, as long as you are good, you are good for me! Fame and fortune are nothing to me anymore, not to mention that now I am no worse than others, I want money to spend, I want people to use it, and I am still in charge of so many things and manpower, what else do I do as an official? You don't have to be polite to me, I'm very content now! Big brother, don't worry about it!

After they took a turn in the Zhuangzi, Gao Huaiyuan also roughly understood what happened here after he left, under the care of Zhou Hao and others, it can be said that there is nothing to worry about in his later affairs, which makes him very pleased, the loyalty of the ancients, at least the people under him have been very well reflected.

What about the girls in the Zhuangzi before? Gao Huaiyuan suddenly found a problem and asked Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao's face was slightly red, and he smiled: "Well, they have already married our brothers as wives, didn't you say it?" Let them marry freely, and marry whoever they love, so these girls are already married to wives now!

Oh? This is not bad, but it is also a good destination for them, and the people who go out in our Zhuangzi are all capable, and it can be regarded as fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders if they can marry their brothers! Hey! Hey? Zhou Hao, I see that your face is wrong, tell me honestly, did you secretly marry one? Gao Huaiyuan suddenly poked Zhou Hao's ribs with his hand, and asked Zhou Hao with a narrow face.

As a result, Zhou Hao raised two fingers and explained honestly: It's not one, it's two! I'm married to two rooms! I'm going to be a dad at the end of the year! And it's both together!

Gao Huaiyuan almost fell to the ground immediately, pointed at Zhou Hao for a while before saying: Okay, Zhou Hao, you kid looks honest and dutiful, I didn't expect you to marry two wives at once, there are not many girls in our Zhuangzi, you kid is eating more and taking more!

Zhou Hao scratched his head embarrassedly and said: It's no wonder that I'm not surprised! If they want to marry me, what can I do? So my father and my mother simply married me!

Boy, watch the fight! The daughter-in-law didn't inform me, you are about to become a father, and now you have told me, shouldn't I be a brother? Don't run! Watch and hit! Gao Huaiyuan said, and he rolled up his arms and sleeves, and he was about to fight.

Zhou Hao laughed and ran away, and the two of them chased Zhuangzi in a burst of laughter, and time seemed to have returned to their youth many years ago, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

When they gasped and stopped, a land full of flowers appeared in front of Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan stroked his knees, and the arrow wound on his calf was a little faintly painful, if it weren't for the arrow wound, Zhou Hao would not have escaped his killer, but when he saw this slope, Gao Huaiyuan's mood was taken back.

He let go of Zhou Hao, who was already out of breath when he ran, slowly walked into the flowers, slowly squatted down, gently stroked these flowers and plants that had borne capsules with his hands, and gently sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, and his mood suddenly became complicated.
