Xiao Zhenlei was busy recruiting at Aurora College for three days, during which a total of more than 100 people came to interview, and it was impossible for him to keep all these people, after selection, and after discussing with Zhang Jiyao, he left 21 people as full-time reporters. Reporters in the surrounding counties and towns of Shanghai, such as Bei, Baoshan, and Songjiang, let people who have experience as reporters bring one or two newcomers to be responsible for the collection of news materials and the writing of news articles in a region. +Top Novel,www.

In addition, there are 12 students who work as temporary reporters, collecting news materials on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays to write their own press releases, in addition to these people, Xiao Zhenlei and Zhang Jiyao also left 10 people to work as logistics and clerks in the newspaper office, and now the newspaper has 28 full-time reporters and 12 temporary reporters.

To say that the newspaper does not need to recruit so many www.uuxs.cc people in Shanghai and the surrounding counties and towns, there is no need for the newspaper to recruit so many reporters, but Xiao Zhenlei recruited so many reporters but did not let them eat leisurely, he discussed with Zhang Jiyao, and divided the labor of these reporters, some reporters focused on the government and the concession authorities, some reporters focused on the wealthy families, and some people stared at the gangs. There are also some reporters who focus on some famous people and entertainment circles in Shanghai, and the last part of them are free to collect folk news materials, so after this division of labor, the time for the Shumin Daily to obtain news materials is much faster than other newspapers, as long as there is any wind and grass on the beach, the reporters of the Shumin Daily must be the first to get the news, these reporters are like the paparazzi on Hong Kong Island in the future, like a shadow. Squatting 24 hours a day, if you collect any news. They will send the manuscript back to the company as soon as possible.

Just helped Zhang Jiyao finish the affairs of the newspaper, after the official opening of the newspaper. Xiao Zhenlei had not had time to rest for two days, and on the morning of 1 October, Li Pingshu, the general director of the Chengxiang Autonomous Office, sent someone to invite him over, saying that he had something to discuss. So Xiao Zhenlei asked Opiyin to drive, and he took the car to Li Pingshu's residence in Nanshi.

The family brought Xiao Zhenlei into the living room, and Li Pingshu saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Huanyu is here, come, please take a seat!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly smiled and said, "Gong Li is so polite, but he tortures me, the kid really doesn't dare to be it!" ”

"Yes. Yes, hahaha! ”

When Xiao Zhenlei sat down, he asked, "I don't know what Gong Li ordered when he called the kid?" You name it! ”

At this time, the maid came over with a tray to deliver tea, Li Pingshu invited Xiao Zhenlei to drink tea, and after a few sips, Li Pingshu said: "That's the case, you know about the slaughter of the Baoshan County Ya last time, right?" ”

"Of course!" Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "Why don't I know about such a big thing?" I heard that Lord Onahai, who had come down from Nanjing the day before the slaughter of the Ya in Baoshan County, was also stabbed in the concession, and I later wondered why this was so evil! What's the matter, Gong Li, it's been almost a month since this happened, is it that you have something to do with me coming to me today? ”

Li Pingshu nodded and said, "Yes." To say that there is also a certain relationship, after those two incidents, the above thought that those bandits were too rampant, so the governor of Liangjiang and the Daotai Yamen here sent competent officials to investigate and arrest. But it's been so long, and there are still no useful clues, but this matter can't be counted like that. Otherwise, where will the face of the government go? You say yes, right? Therefore, Nanjing sent a message, since no clues could be found. Then simply dispatch a large number of officers and soldiers to wipe out all the Jiangyang thieves, rebellious parties, bandits, and bandits who occupy the mountains in our province, and there is an explanation for the outside world. Second, the bandits who committed the crime must be hiding in those people, if all those people are eradicated, the bandits will also be eradicated! ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "That's right, I don't know what Gong Li called me for?" ”

"The old man said just now, the above is ready to dispatch a large number of officers and soldiers to exterminate those Diao people, but the army with combat effectiveness in our province is the ninth town of Nanyang, and the 13th and 23rd mixed associations of the new army are still being recruited and prepared, and they can't be counted on, but the ninth town of the new army is responsible for guarding Jiangning, and can only transfer a part of the troops to participate in the suppression of bandits, and this part of the new army's bandit suppression is in the Jiangbei area, and in the Jiangnan area, the prefectures and counties will send their own green battalions or patrol battalions to suppress bandits, and our Susong Taidao troops are enough, However, because of the existence of the concession, it is necessary to leave enough troops to defend it, so it can only be transferred from two of the five patrol battalions to suppress bandits, but the strength is insufficient, Lord Cai remembered that our Nanshi merchant group does not still have 500 guns, so he ordered to draw 400 people from our armed merchant group, and then from your Zhenhua company to draw 400 people, and make up 800 people to form a standard, under the jurisdiction of two battalions, of course, Lord Cai will not let you send troops and money in vain, temporarily appoint you as the standard commander of the eighth patrol battalion of Susong Taidao, and govern these 800 peopleAs long as you can make some achievements and make some contributions to the suppression of bandits this time, Lord Cai will recommend you as the 46th standard commander of the 23rd Mixed Association of the New Army, and your 800 people will also be placed under the 46th standard, and the insufficient strength will be made up by yourself, and the salary of the New Army will be paid! I don't know what you think? ”

Xiao Zhenlei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Cai Naihuang actually made such a bloody investment? He was puzzled: "Gong Li, you're not joking with me, are you?" I was just a flat-headed person before, and some time ago, I was recommended by Ge County to become the general manager of the Yangzhen Township Yongtuan, which was promoted from the total to the standard, and this improvement was too scary, and I couldn't believe it when I said it! Moreover, the Green Battalion and the New Army are two different systems, and I only know that the biggest officer of the patrol battalion is the officer of the Thousand General Battalion, and I have never heard of the patrol battalion having a standard."

Li Pingshu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "I also thought so when I heard Lord Cai's words, what do you think Lord Cai said?" He said that it is just a transition for you to be the standard commander of the patrol battalion, and afterwards he still wants to promote you to the 46th standard commander of the 23rd Mixed Association, I have also pondered it, and I thought of three reasons, the first is because Lord Cai admires you very much; Second, the twenty-third mixed association has not yet been full, at least half of them are still missing, Lord Cai wants to draw your hundreds of people over, first put up the shelves, and then slowly replenish the shortcomings; Third, in the face of the problem of insufficient troops to suppress bandits, Lord Cai was also forced to have no choice, and in order to make you sell your strength, you can only spend this bloody money! ”

It's clear, but it's clear that this is something he can't shirk or refuse, otherwise Cai Naihuang may immediately turn his face and deny people.

Xiao Zhenlei thought about it and smiled bitterly: "Gong Li, it seems that I have to agree if I don't agree?" If I transfer 400 people from the merchant group, then there will only be 100 people from the merchant group in Nanshi, and nothing will happen, right? If, after I have dispatched 400 men, some thugs or rebels take advantage of our weakness to suddenly appear and loot the trucks and shops of your bosses, then our losses will be great."

Although Xiao Zhenlei's words were a bit alarmist, Li Pingshu's heart was shocked, among all the directors of the autonomous office, his family background was the most abundant, if there were thugs and rebels who wanted to rob, he would definitely attack his caravan vehicles and shops first, his face was solemn, and he nodded: "Yes, Brother Huanyu, we really can't be unguarded, it's always okay to be careful, so let's do it, you leave me a few capable men, and I'll find a way to get Lord Cai to agree to let me recruit another merchant soldier from elsewhere, Let you leave a few people for me to take them with you, what do you think, is it still too late? ”

Xiao Zhenlei was overjoyed when he heard it, just now he just said it casually, but he didn't expect Li Pingshu to propose to continue recruiting troops, isn't this sending troops to him? He immediately said: "If you step up your training, there shouldn't be any problems, I will leave you a few of the most powerful and authoritative people, as long as they are there, you can train the mud legs who don't know anything into elite soldiers as quickly as possible!" ”

Li Pingshu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he was relieved: "That's good, that's good!" As for the guns, can you find a way to get me some more? ”

Xiao Zhenlei asked, "How many more people are you going to recruit?" ”

Li Pingshu said: "Without 400 people, it is not safe at all for a radius of hundreds of miles in this city, I plan to recruit another 300 people, you can get me 300 guns and ammunition!" ”

"Okay, that's no problem, I have a little friendship with the manager of Lihe Foreign Bank, the price should be a little cheaper, but I have to prepare some for you!"

"Then you're bothered!"

After leaving the Li Mansion, Xiao Zhenlei thought about it and decided to go to Zhenhua Company to discuss this matter with Eagle and others, he couldn't push it off, he could only do it according to Cai Naihuang's intentions, but the transfer of 400 people from the factory guard team must also be discussed with Eagle and others, after all, now the factory guard team is only 500 people in name, but in fact there are more than 2,000 people, and the team members who have completed training must be transferred, and the situation of the guard team Eagle and others are the most clear.

As soon as Xiao Zhenlei entered Zhenhua Company, Song Shijie found his office, "President, you're back, I've been looking for you all morning!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei invited him to sit down and asked, "Oh? Old Song, do you have anything to do with me? ”

Song Shijie nodded and said: "Yes, I got the news, it is said that the new Baoshan County Commander arrived the afternoon before yesterday, do you want to go to pay a visit?" ”

"I'm going to go, do you know who the new county magistrate is and who he is?" Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and asked.

"I asked someone to inquire clearly, it is said that this person's name is Zhong Lin, he is a lifter, and this county order is donated! It seems to be a person from Nishikawa! ”

"Donor?" Xiao Zhenlei was stunned, he patted his thigh and regretted: "Hey, what, why didn't I think of donating to the official?" If I can catch the shortage of Baoshan County orders in my hands, wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want in Baoshan? ”

Song Shijie smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "It's too late to say anything now!" (To be continued......) R527
