Chapter 147

Chapter 147

In Hahausen's view, it was a successful meeting. Also in Fang Jianxiong's view, this is also a successful flicker. For Fang Jianxiong, as long as the benefits are in hand, time drags on, and the initiative in the future will inevitably be in hand.

In a telegram to China, Hahausen mentioned the meeting in an optimistic tone: "Through many contacts, we have come to a conclusion. The actual controller of this squadron has powers similar to those of the emperor. Fang Jianxiong gave a more convincing answer to this point from the nominal president's evasion and flickering rhetoric on the issue of the Sino-German alliance. Fang Jianxiong, a young military leader, has a lot of political wisdom beyond his peers, and he is also very courageous. It was under the impetus of his chapter 147 that the markets of the empire in the Far East were greatly developed. Obviously, Fang Jianxiong has a better affection for the empire than the average Chinese, which is probably related to his experience in Germany. (Allegedly, a German lady saved his life.) Combined with the current situation in China, it is difficult for Fang Jianxiong to make a decision. The state did not fully agree, the construction of the political system was not on the right track, and the pressure from external powers was huge, and so on, which led Fang Jianxiong to hesitate. In my opinion, this hesitation is a good example of what a good politician should be. As for the two-year period he said, it should be a rough estimate, and there is a high probability of advancement.

Fang Jianxiong has no experience in how to govern a country, but he knows the general trajectory of history and can make a very targeted move. There is still more than a year to go before the First World War, and there are not many things that can be done in this year, so we must make full use of this year to do some important things well.

When the sun came overhead, the foremen on the crowded construction site held their horns and shouted: "Eat, eat, move faster, eat early and rest for half an hour at noon, and don't delay the afternoon work." ”

The noisy construction site fell silent, and people stopped their work in Chapter 147 and walked to the roadside shed. A large pot was set up on the side, steamed buns were in the steamer, the tumbling paste was a spicy paste soup made from various bones, and a large bamboo basket was placed on the side, in which was salted fish that had been cut into sections and fried in oil. In the face of the temptation of things, even though many people are already swallowing their saliva, they still obediently queue up, which is the rule. Those who don't want to follow the rules have been kicked out of the construction site. In the words of the officials in charge of the site, it is called the "black sheep".

Lunch is received according to the work card, handed in at the time of eating, and returned by the worker. There are both men and women who work, and at lunch, the male gets three steamed buns, a bowl of soup, and a piece of salted fish, and a woman has two steamed buns, a bowl of soup, and a piece of salted fish. These steamed buns are said to be made from American flour, and one can weigh two or two. Even if you do body work, you can eat half full, and adding a bowl of soup can have seven points.

Li Quanjin Chinese New Year's Eve five years old and a native of Wuyang. War and banditry, to the people of Henan brought endless disasters, Li Quan's family past the bandits, catch up with last year was a famine year, this day could not go on, catch up with Bai Lang broke the county, had to flee the famine. In previous years, people fled the famine, and people went north, to Zhengzhou or Luoyang, and if they couldn't, they crossed the Yellow River and went to the capital. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, it is easier to beg for food, and there are many large families who are willing to give alms.

Last winter's escape from the famine was just the opposite, and he couldn't go north, causing trouble in Bailang. The bandits don't care if you're fleeing the famine or not, and the one who dragged the family was bumped into, so they searched it first, and then harmed the women in the family. If you are a little more unlucky, you can meet the madness of the soldiers, and the result will be worse than the scourge of bandits.

Li Quan heard that Hubei did not suffer a disaster last year, and he caught up with a Fang Dashuai to beat away the Beiyang soldiers, and treated the people very well. So he made the last bit of stick noodles in the family into dry food, pushed it into a wheelbarrow, carried the old lady with the child, followed by the daughter-in-law with the only belongings on her back, and went south along the railway. Refugees from all over the country continue to gather together, along the railway Hubei. It's not fun to escape the famine along the way, and it's just an ordinary thing to bury yourself in a ditch. Take Li Quan's family as an example, a car of five people went all the way to Wuxinyang. If Li Quan is in some state at this halfway, if he gets sick or hurts something, it is estimated that this family will be ruined.

When they arrived in Xinyang, there were officers and soldiers wearing green skins outside the city who set up cards to stop these people who fled south. It was not that they were not allowed to continue south, but they gathered these people who fled the famine, distributed food and clothing, and forced them to wash themselves in a makeshift bathhouse, and after resting for two days, the soldiers loaded them onto the train, and the journey south became easy. When I arrived in Huangpi, I realized that they were asked to build the road. When they started on the road, the family was undoubtedly apprehensive, but no one dared to resist in front of the guns of the soldiers.

When I arrived in Huangpi, some government people asked one by one, what was it called, which person, how old, and after asking, I wrote a bamboo sign, handed it to Li Quan's family, and then explained that I went to the construction site to do things, and I was full of three meals, but I must not be lazy, I must follow the rules and listen to the words of the foreman. The so-called foremen are all some Huangpi locals, and they are all small officials.

It is difficult to leave the homeland, and escaping the famine is a hopeless choice. After surviving the winter, when spring comes, and then go home, probably everyone who escapes the famine is planned to do so. Li Quan thought the same way at first, but when his family arrived at the construction site, the idea soon became less intense.

First of all, three meals a day, a steamed bun in the morning, gruel can be eaten casually, although this gruel is thin enough, a big bowl is at most half a or two meters, almost can be used as a mirror, but isn't there a steamed bun? A meal at noon is very real, either a bowl of rice and a piece of meat, or steamed buns with bone broth, and the evening is similar to noon. If you want to say how much you can eat, it's hard to say, anyway, don't expect to starve to death in this realm. The key is that women can also work, and the old lady can take care of the children in the shed, and she can also get some needlework and thread soles, and ten pairs of soles pay five cents. For those who work on the construction site, men pay five cents a day, and women pay three cents. (Forgive me for the error)

gave three meals to eat, as well as wages, Li Quan didn't dare to believe it at first. After he worked rain or shine for seven days, the foreman called a team of 100 people together, and according to the number of times he worked every day, Li Quan and his wife received a full attendance salary, five cents and six banknotes. The foreman told everyone that this money is used in the whole of Hubei, and it is the same as the ocean and copper yuan. There is a small shop in the shack area where you can buy miscellaneous things. Li Quan, who was not very sure that there would be such a good thing in the world, went to a small shop, hesitated, and took out the money to say that he wanted to buy a five-cent mung bean cake.

The job in the store smiled, was weighed and packed, charged him five cents, and sent him off with a smile before leaving: Come back next time!

When he really bought mung bean cake with money, Li Quan lost his soul, returned to the shed where he lived, gave himself a slap in the face, and scolded himself: "Loser, five cents!" Half a copper circle! ”。

That night, under the dim oil lamp, the old lady took the soles of her shoes, the children happily ate pastries, and the mother-in-law sewed clothes with a smile. The family, so unexpectedly, saw the hope of a better life.

Chinese are like weeds, the spring breeze blows, and the most vigorous vitality in the field is weeds. As long as they see the hope of life, the Chinese can persevere with the most stoic national characteristics, move forward towards the even rather vague hope in their minds, and go slowly and step by step.

The husband and wife went one after the other, fetched their own rice and soup, and walked to the shed where they lived. The shed where the family stayed was not big, just a shed of six or seven square meters, with straw on the ground and a straw mat. The wall of the adobe rampart, topped with bamboo and thatch, did not even have a door when he first came, and later Li Quan himself used the three-day vacation every month to find dead branches in the field to weave a door.

Lunch for two people, the family eats, thinking that the child must be hungry at home, the couple is a little anxious, there is a small hurdle on the ground did not pay attention, the mother-in-law was tripped up, the porcelain bowl in her hand was taken off, just three people came to meet him, a bowl of porridge poured on the body of one of the young people.

Two of the three young men showed a fierce light in their eyes, revealing a murderous aura and moving forward, and the husband and wife were frightened and stupid, and they didn't care about the bowl of porridge on the ground. The young man in front of him was dressed neatly, and he really didn't know what to use to compensate for this dress.

This very handsome young man stretched out his hands, stopped the two entourages who were about to come forward, and said lightly: "It's okay!" As he spoke, he didn't care about the porridge on his body, squatted down, picked up the bowl on the ground, handed it to Li Quan's mother-in-law, and said, "This sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention when I walked, and I was blocking your way." ”

Before the couple could figure out what was going on, the young man had already stuffed the bowl to Li Quan's mother-in-law, turned back to the young man next to him and said, "Give them a dollar, which is considered compensation for their lunch today." As he spoke, the young man had already walked past the couple and continued to walk forward, and the couple did not notice at all, and the young man's face turned pale. A piece of porridge in front of him was spilled, and he didn't clean it up.

"The mother-in-law of the loser, he hit you just now?" When Li Quan came back to his senses, the three of them had already walked away, as if in a dream, and they were still holding a dollar in their hands.

"I don't dare to say nonsense if I don't have a conscience, I really stumbled under my feet just now." This woman is honest and doesn't tell nonsense. Probably it had something to do with the awe-inspiring look at that young man.

Walking out of this shed, the young man's face became more and more ugly, and the two young men who caught up did not speak when they saw this. After walking for a while, Qi Erzhu stepped forward and said, "Fu Shuai, what happened just now." (To be continued.) rq！！！
