[49] Cycling in China

Li Hainiu listened to the story of this rich man and beggar, patted his thigh and scolded angrily: "Bastard! Unkindness and injustice! ”

When the guys heard this story, they were all indignant and scolded the rich man for being unkind! He actually took the beggar's suffering as fun, and played the poor to find fun!

Yao Fan waited for everyone to finish scolding, and said: "It's good that everyone understands the truth in their hearts, and in the future, I will tell everyone what happened to this world next."

After I left, the daily meeting was still held, but everyone reported the progress of the work on the construction site, and I didn't tell a story.

But I have a request, I want everyone to follow the third sister to learn to recognize some words, don't ask for much, just be able to write your own name, and the third sister will also teach you to count. After all, we are a business, and if we can't even settle a simple account, then we can't do it. ”

As soon as they heard that they wanted to learn to read and write, many guys were stunned and beat drums in their hearts.

Seeing this, Yao Fan hurriedly comforted: "You don't need to learn much, you can learn five words a day, and what you learn is also simplified words, which are specially used for bookkeeping in the business." This is not to ask you to do any moral articles in the future, but only that you can read the note I sent you when you are out of business in the future, and you can also write a note back to me. ”

Yao Fan explained: "Because the accounts and operations in our firm are confidential, naturally they cannot be known to outsiders, so of course the back and forth notes cannot be written and read by someone on your behalf, so you must learn basic literacy."

Our Chinese is not difficult, we can read and write more than 1,000 commonly used words, and we can go all over the world. Think about it, if you learn five words a day, won't you learn more than a thousand words in a year? ”

When everyone heard Yao Fan make sense, they didn't think it was difficult.

So Yao Fan ordered the third sister to come in and give everyone the notebook and pencil that had been prepared, and asked everyone to salute the third sister.

As soon as they heard that the third sister would be their literacy teacher in the future, the guys got up busily to give the third sister a respectful attitude.

Yao Fan said with a smile: "Manatee and Wang Gui, you two also know a few words, you two have to help the third sister, and during the time I went out, I urged everyone to learn these simplified words." Five a day, it's not difficult. ”

Li Hainiu and Wang Gui hurriedly said: "We must help the third sister well, and we must urge everyone to recognize a few words every night." ”

So everyone dispersed, leaving only the guys who were going to accompany Yao Fan to Jinan Mansion to help prepare the baggage needed for the road, roughly packed up, and then went back to rest, so there was nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, Yao Fan took his men to the Yaojiazhuang construction site, busy with the things to bring, and worked all morning to prepare the goods and cages.

Previously, according to Yao Fan's instructions, the carpentry team made the bicycle shelves that were firmly tied and fixed behind the 30 agricultural bicycles, and after the goods were loaded on both sides, they looked like 2O11 bicycles delivering pure water.

Each bicycle was loaded with a large number of pancakes and dried shrimp used as dry food, as well as a batch of goods that Yao Fan was going to take to Jinan Province. Each guy carried the green military water bottle that Yao Fan had brought from 2o11 and straddled a bag with a change of clothes.

Seeing that the preparations were complete, it was already midday, Yao Fan and his friends had lunch on the construction site, and then rode their bicycles and prepared in a mighty way.

He Wannian and a few old guys from the business came to see him off, and by the way, he explained the matters to be paid attention to on the journey. He Wannian even told Yao Fanqian that he was afraid that there would be any accidents on Yao Fan's road.

"Brother Yao, remember, don't show off your wealth on the road, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that you won't be remembered."

"I didn't bring anything of value like cash, so what did the horse robbers do to me?"

He Wannian continued to nag: "Brother Yao remember, if you meet a horse bandit, you will immediately draw out a stick, surround the iron car and form a formation, and then ask the guy to go to the nearby state capital to report the bandits." Of course, if you can give money to leave, it's the best, Brother Yao remember to ask the guys to put some loose silver taels on their bodies, general horse bandits, according to the head, five taels of tolls per person is considered a lot, if it is ten taels per person, it is the sky! With ten taels of money per person to buy the road, no horse bandit is willing to come up and fight for his life. ”

Yao Fan said impatiently: "What's the use of sticks, I brought a 7o kilogram folding crossbow to each of the ten big guys this time." ”

"What! 7o Jin ...... Crossbow? But a crossbow!? He Wannian was taken aback.

"Brother Yao, be careful! According to my Qing Dynasty law, except for hunting, private individuals are not allowed to bring crossbows, let alone military crossbows! If Brother Yao must bring it, you must remember that crossbow arrows should not be shown along the way! ”

Yao Fan said: "It's not 7o catties, have you forgotten Brother Wannian?" One kilogram is equal to two city catties, and a 7o kilogram crossbow is 14o catties. ”

He Wannian saw Yao Fan's disapproving look, and scratched his head anxiously: "Brother Yao can't be careless!" That's more than a 14o pound crossbow! Today's crossbows are just one stone. You're not a hunting crossbow anymore, you're already more powerful than a military crossbow, and if you catch it, you'll be beheaded! ”

Yao Fan said disapprenorovingly: "Brother Wannian thinks that it is fake that I went to Wei Guofu early in the morning to send 10,000 taels of silver?" Since there is a seal from the garrison yamen, which proves that my crossbow was given by the garrison yamen and used for self-defense on the journey, who will care about me, now the Qing Kingdom is only afraid of foreign guns and birds, and the bow and crossbow are already turning a blind eye. ”

He Wannian wiped a cold sweat and said, "In short, you still have to be careful!" Don't force yourself in trouble! If you can spend money in the past, you must spend money to do it! ”

After speaking, He Wannian hurriedly pulled over He Shicheng, Zhou Sisi and other guys, and commanded sharply: "You all follow your master well!" Don't make a fuss about fighting and killing, if Brother Yao has any three strengths and two weaknesses, I will skin you when I come back! ”

Yao Fan sighed and shook his head: "Brother He is thinking too much, this will only be there in ten days, where will there be anything, I will bring some folding crossbows just to be prepared." ”

He Wannian saw that Yao Fan was arrogant, and anxiously told Yao Fan to be careful. Yao Fan just laughed and said goodbye.

This time, Yao Fan did not ride his own colorful mountain bike, but rode the agricultural 28 uniformly like the guys.

Since there were no decent cement or asphalt roads in the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible for the bicycle team to achieve more than 15o kilometers per day like 2o11 bicycle tours, and on the dirt roads of the Qing Dynasty, they could only advance at about 6o kilometers per day, and even so, the progress of this 12o miles per day also made all the guys excited.

After listening to He Wannian's construction, Yao Fan revised his itinerary and did not take the mountainous and difficult route of the South Road through Jiaozhou, Zhucheng, Laiwu, Tai'an, and Jinan. Instead, he took the route of the north road through Jiaozhou, Gaomi, Weifang, Zibo, Zhangqiu, and Jinan, and planned to arrange for the guy to send the silver to Tai'an to implement the household registration after arriving in Jinan.

The 31 bicycle convoys with Yao Fan as the head have traveled for three days and have come to Weifang.

Yao Fan was very satisfied with the progress of the three days, and the guys were also smiling.

Standing outside Weifang County, He Shicheng said: "Although I have never been far away, but I also know that ordinary businesses come from Qingdao, how to say that it will take five or six days, counting, we are riding bicycles, but three days ago at noon, today at noon to Weifang!" ”

Yao Fan said: "Fortunately, there are merchants and inns on this road to ask for directions, and I walked through Jinan Mansion before the fourth week, otherwise it will be troublesome if I get lost." ”

Zhou Si's face was dusty, and he grinned like a mud monkey and showed his white teeth and smiled: "If you want to say that it is still the owner's foreign car, it is more than 100 miles a day, otherwise you can know the Tao, where can you come so fast." ”

Next, the convoy entered the city, which caused a commotion as usual, and the residents of Weifang City competed to watch the 'two-wheeled iron car'. When crossing the city gate, fortunately, Yao Fan had a road guide issued by Sun Maowen in his hand, as well as a handwritten letter stamped with Wei Guofu's garrison seal, proving that Yao Fan went to Jinan Mansion to give gifts to the governor, so he did not tax the goods brought by Yao Fan, but the rest of the city gate taxes and other miscellaneous donations were still indispensable to pay.

After entering the city, Yao Fan found an inn to live in, and a large group of men pulled bicycles into the courtyard of the inn as usual, unloaded the goods and piled them into the room.

Seeing Yao Fan and his party staying in the inn, a small man with braids on his head in the distance turned around and left.

Not far outside Zibo City, behind a barren hillside, there were more than 50 people with knives but no uniforms of officers and soldiers. They were lying down, tending to the horses, or sitting on the ground in a circle of three or five people.

The little man who had followed Yao Fan's convoy into the city just now had already rushed over on the same horse with another person, only to see him leap off the horse with his legs skillfully kicking in the void behind the man's back, and it seemed that he was accustomed to begging for a living on horseback.

The little man dismounted and immediately ran to a crowd of men, one man and one woman, all like the other swordsmen here, with a single knife hanging from their waists, and a white horse's head mark painted at the tip of the scabbard.

"Jiaxiang returns to the eldest brother and sister-in-law!

I've figured it out! After the two-wheeled iron caravan we followed entered the city, it rested in the Huile Inn by the city gate, and did not enter the local business to unload the goods. I think tomorrow morning, these people will wake up and continue on their way. ”

I saw that the man called the eldest brother was not tall, with round shoulders, thick chest, and a dark square face.

"I knew it! These people inquired all the way to Jinan Mansion, how could they not leave when they arrived in Weifang!

When we wait for tomorrow, we will intercept them in the furrow outside Shili Fort! The red sorghum planted on both sides of the official road there is more than one person high, so we will ambush in the sorghum field, and when they enter the fence, we will rush up and do it! ”

I saw that the woman who was called the sister-in-law next to the eldest brother had a pair of black and white eyes on a silver plate-like face, looking forward to it like a meteor, heroic and beautiful, she raised the horse whip in her hand, drew a chic arc and said: "Now that the government is chasing and killing, let's try not to cause trouble." In short, if you can not hurt people, you will not hurt people.

You know, these businessmen are also accustomed to going to the rivers and lakes, coming out to mix rice, it is not easy to travel thousands of miles to earn a few hard-earned money, this time since there is no dart bureau to interfere with things, let's do this vote. When he was done, he quickly sold the goods for herbs and grain, and immediately went back to Shigou. It's been half a month since we came out this time, and the family is probably hungry. ”

When a red-faced man on the side heard this, his face was suddenly unhappy, and he raised his hand indignantly and said, "Sister-in-law, you are also good!" Don't you look at this caravan on iron chariots, where do they look like ordinary merchants? Even the guys to the leader, all they eat on the road are pancakes, green onions wrapped in salted meat, and dried shrimp! The last time I was in Yinma Town, I saw it clearly, even the green gourd holding water on their bodies was made of iron! Damn, where can ordinary businessmen be so arrogant! Even the guys give meat? This is clearly a big fat ticket!

According to me, let's just kill him! Peel it back from head to toe.

I dare say that the back of the two-wheeled iron cart is full of silver! Our brothers have all seen that the mark left by the wheels of the cart after pressing the ground is deep! ”
