[69] Medicine

"Ask the Bodhisattva gods to save my son Bai Kang, my Bai Xiaoqi is willing to die, in exchange for my son's safety......" Bai Xiaoqi had tears in his eyes, two lines of light hanging on his cheeks, and prayed sincerely.

Every day, after her son fell asleep, she began to pray helplessly, during which she heard her son's cough sporadically, each of which tore at her heart fiercely. She couldn't sleep every night, her whole body was thinner, her face like a silver plate became sallow, and her eyes like shooting stars became bigger and bigger, and her eye sockets were deep.

No mother in the world can stand to watch her child die slowly in pain, and this is the greatest torture for any mother.

"Sister-in-law!" A low shout came from outside the humble wooden house, low but distinctly excited.

Without waiting for Bai Xiaoqi to echo, the owner of the voice rushed in, and when he saw Bai Xiaoqi kneeling, the little man immediately knelt down on the side, clasping his fists and eagerly reported: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! That...... That ......"

Bai Xiaoqi didn't have time to wipe away his tears, and said reproachfully: "Jiaxiang, why are you always reckless......

The little man named Jiaxiang gasped and said hurriedly: "...... Ten Miles...... Outside the fort...... Medicine...... Locust Tree ......"

"Medicine? …… Medicine? …… You say medicine! Jiaxiang! You're talking about medicine! Bai Xiaoqi pounced on him like an excited mother beast, a pair of thin hands and green tendons beating, and tightly crushed Jiaxiang's two shoulders.

"Yes! Be! Sister-in-law! The bark of the locust tree was cut off, and the word medicine was engraved on it! Jiaxiang said.

"Medicine! Medicine! …… Medicine...... I'm going to Qingdao to get medicine, get medicine! Go now, go now! Bai Xiaoqi was incoherent, stood up in a panic, ignoring his unbearable knee pain because of kneeling for a long time, and staggered out, obviously there was some magic barrier.

At this time, Bai Xiaoqi's man Xi Dahu had also rushed over, grabbed Bai Xiaoqi's hand and said, "Xiaoqi, did you hear Jiaxiang?" ”

Bai Xiaoqi calmed down and nodded anxiously: "I heard about it!" Big Tiger! Let's go get the medicine! ”

Xi Dahu's mouth pursed, the expression on his face could not be restrained for a while, and he twisted embarrassedly: "Xiaoqi, but we have already spent three thousand five hundred taels of Yao Fan's silver to buy grain, and now there are only more than fifty taels of silver left in the village.

In case of...... If this is a trap, that Yao Fan colluded with the government and arranged to arrest our White Horse Club, then wouldn't we fall into the net if we go? ”

Bai Xiaoqi was confused, and asked anxiously, "How many of us robbed him in total?" ”

"Three thousand six hundred and ninety taels."

"Three Thousand ......" Bai Xiaoqi's face was pale and terrifying, her hands were trembling, and she stood there stupidly, as if she was going to fall down at any time.

"I ...... I will beg him, I will kowtow to him, and if he will save my son, I will pay for him. Bai Xiaoqi said in a trembling voice.

Jiaxiang was already in tears when he heard this, and choked up: "Sister-in-law! Eldest sister! Little Flag Sister! Let's go grab it! Take all the brethren with you, and let's go! ”

Xi Dahu only felt like a knife at this moment, and said resolutely: "No! I can't leave all my brothers among the officers and soldiers for the sake of my son! I know that there is a battalion of Qing demons stationed, and there are fifty or sixty guns and birds! Coupled with the Tuanyong and township exercises in Jiaoxi and Jimo counties, there are 2,000 people to say the least! Now there are only about 60 horses in our village, and we can't come back if we go! If you don't have a horse, you can't run if you want to, and if you go, you'll die! ”

"Alas!!" Jiaxiang roared angrily and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

Bai Xiaoqi shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, I'll go by myself, I'll take Kang'er with me, if he doesn't save my son, I'll kneel and die in his shop." So saying, she took the road and ran out.

"Xiaoqi, don't run! If he is hard-hearted, it is useless for you to kneel to death! If it's a trap, you won't be able to come back! Xi Dahu chased after him and said urgently.

Bai Xiaoqi had already made up her mind at this time, and she bit her lower lip so hard that she almost bit out the blood. At the same time, she ran quickly towards a hut in the distance, and the more she ran, the more determined she became.

……………………

Yao Fan arranged the work arrangement of the Jinan branch, and the group of 30 bicycles only brought dry food to eat on the road, as well as sticks and folding crossbows for self-defense, and rode fast, and rushed back to Yaojiazhuang in only seven days.

At this moment, Yaojiazhuang is very different from when Yao Fan left, the whole weather has come out, and the huge reservoir area is spectacular and a little dull according to Yao Fan's planning.

When he returned home, Yao Fan asked He Shicheng to take out the silver ticket secretly hidden in a box and count it, and the 400,000 taels he brought cost more than 104,000 taels, but he got 50,000 taels from the machine bureau, and brought back 65,000 taels from the Jinan branch, which added up to more than 10,000 taels more than when he came out.

Yao Fan met with He Wannian again and exchanged news, especially telling him what He Wanyou did in Jinan.

He Wannian scolded angrily, cursing and vowing to arrest He Wanyou and lock him up in Hejiazhuang. Guiltily told Yao Fan that he was willing to double the amount of money returned to the firm. Yao Fan naturally wouldn't agree, and comforted He Wannian with kind words for a long time, He Wannian was still extremely angry, and he couldn't fly to Jinan Mansion to give his brother a meal to relieve his hatred.

When He Wannian calmed down, he told Yao Fan that now the business name is out of stock except for matches.

Yao Fan asked and found out that the Jimo Huang family had already bought all the goods.

"The Huang family has many businesses in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Xiamen and other places, and it is natural that he is willing to take the goods, and the remaining more than 40,000 pieces of soap are only worth more than 8,000 taels, and he will wrap it up.

Let's buy a box of matches at a price of 1o Wen, 2ooo boxes per box, and we bought 10,000 boxes. The Huang family asked for 2,000 boxes in one go, and I gave him a low price, as long as 2o wen a box, which is a full 1o wen cheaper than the 3o wen we retailed, which is another 80,000 taels. As soon as He Wannian talked about the accounts, he immediately calmed down.

Yao Fan pondered, it was time to make He Wannian happy, and said, "Since it's almost sold, let's share the dividends." ”

He Wannian saw that Yao Fan was going to pay dividends before the end of the year, and said in surprise: "Is Brother Yao short of silver?" Our firm has money in its account, and Brother Yao only needs to pay for it. ”

Yao Fan said: "It's not a lack of silver, it's a fun." You and I have been busy for so long, almost more than two months, and we should be happy and get all the capital back, and I am not happy. In addition to the later goods such as matches and umbrellas, since the goods purchased in front of them have been sold out, they will all be settled. ”

He Wannian laughed and said, "Let's sail early...... No, there are only the two of us in the spring business, so you can do whatever you want, just divide it. ”

So He Wannian copied an abacus, calculated it from the account book, and said: "Let's treat the soap inventory of Jinan, Shanghai and other semicolons as if they have been sold, and deduct our expenses, which will make a total profit of 443,116 taels." ”

"Odds are given to the guys and the bookkeeper as red envelopes." Yao Fandao.

"Okay, then even if it's 440,000 taels, let's open it in three or seven, Brother Yao, you will get 308,000 taels, and I will entrust Brother Yao to get 132,000 taels."

After He Wannian finished speaking, he was overjoyed. During this time, he has also calculated countless accounts, and every time he is happy, but he didn't expect happiness to fall into his pocket so quickly.

At the beginning, He Wannian took out 60,000 taels of silver to buy shares, and it has only been more than two months, and it has more than doubled, so how unhappy is he is, the depressed mood that He Wanyou was angry just now suddenly disappeared.

"Brother Yao, I'll go to the account room to pay the money, and let's have a drink in the evening." The more He Wannian thought about it, the more he smiled from ear to ear, and he couldn't wait to experience the thrill of success.

After being full of wine and food that night, Yao Fan lit the silver, and now he already has 720,000 taels of silver!

Yao Fan did not hesitate to go to the Hengli gold store to ask for gold, in the face of Yao Fan's request to exchange 5o thousand taels of silver, Zhang Baichuan, the owner of Hengli Bank, assured Yao Fan that the gold would be transported from Shanghai, Tianjin and other places within ten days, and there would be no delay!

Due to the large amount of gold that Yao Fan wanted, this time Hengli's gold and silver price rose again, 16.95, which was O.2 more than the last time at 16.75, although Yao Fan didn't care, he also felt that he was affecting this time and space.

"I remember that the Qing Dynasty only had this price comparison at the end of 1876, how did it rise so fast."

5o thousand taels of silver according to this price, plus a discount of 20% of the fire consumption, can only be exchanged for huàn 935.693 kilograms of gold.

Yao Fan paid the deposit, and then devoted himself to the construction of Yaojiazhuang, and with the position of Lian General Manager sold to him by Ding Baozhen, Yao Fan pushed He Shicheng to the front.

He Shicheng didn't know how to train soldiers at all, it was just Yao Fan's disguise, but trouble came again, Wei Guofu enthusiastically sent two personal soldiers to help Yao Fan train soldiers, it was Bai Dagui and Li Shishi, who Yao Fan was familiar with.

Yao Fan couldn't refuse these two people, he didn't know if this was the eyeliner sent by Wei Guofu, if it was eyeliner, then rejecting them would undoubtedly arouse Wei Guofu's vigilance.

Besides, Yao Fan was worried that these two people were not inserted by Ding Baozhen at the behest of Wei Guofu, Lao Ding was the governor of Shandong, and if the commander of a provincial military region asked Wei Guofu, a border armed police detachment, to insert two people in, Wei Guofu would definitely be tight-lipped about Yao Fan, even if Yao Fan had a good relationship with him, he would not reveal it.

So Yao Fan had no choice but to accept, and when the two came, he was even a little glad that it was Bai Dagui and Li Shishi.

Because Yao Fan felt that he had a good relationship with these two people, he often passed by the city gate to go to Yaojiazhuang, and the silver he rewarded them before and after was about seventy or eighty taels. However, Yao Fan didn't want to rush to buy the two now.

"If you want it, you can't reach it." Yao Fan thought to himself.

Early in the morning, Yao Fan stood on the newly repaired cement playground in Yaojiazhuang, Yao Fan was in high spirits, this playground was 200 meters long and 100 meters wide, all cement paved, and the style was extraordinary.

Bai Dagui praised vigorously on Yao Fan's side: "Yao Dongjia's school field is majestic!" Even the school grounds of the Royal Guards are not so clean! It's just that the land is paved with ash, which is expensive on the one hand, and too the other. ”

"My family has a factory overseas, and it's cheap to make my own ash, besides, what do you use without ash?" Yao Fandao.

"Loess? The loess mat field is soft and cheap, and the school field of our garrison camp is not the loess field. Li Shishi took it and said.

"If you use loess, you can't practice when it rains, and it's not convenient to stack goods." Yao Fandao.

"Yao Dongjia is clever!" Li Shishi said against his heart.

"Yao Dongjia thinks about it thoroughly!" Bai Dagui was unwilling to be a sycophant.

"You two are also in line with the guys, and I'll teach you to stand in line in today's training session." Yao Fandao.

Bai Dagui and Li Shishi hurriedly stood in the row of people and stopped talking.

Yao Fan had already discussed the list with Li Hainiu last night, and now that he saw that all the people had arrived, he ordered the hundred guys to line up in five rows, with 2o people in each row, and the guys lined up noisily for a long time, and finally found the position they hoped to stand in.

Yao Fan also instructed Li Hainiu and He Shicheng to help adjust the order of each row from left to right according to their height, with the left side high and the right side low.

"From now on, you have to remember where you are in the platoon, remember who is on your left and who is on your right."

Next, Yao Fan began to appoint platoon commanders, Li Hainiu, the first platoon leader, Li Jun, the second platoon leader, Liu Jinbao, the third platoon leader, Zhou Si, the fourth platoon leader, and He Shicheng, the fifth platoon leader.

Yao Fan has already told He Shicheng in advance that he is the head of the nominal practice, and he is the real head of the head of the coach, He Shicheng naturally has no opinion, he thinks that it is an honor to be famous.

"Now all turn left!" Yao Fan ordered with apprehension.

“…… Sure enough...... "Yao Fan had already guessed that the situation appeared, the playground was chaotic, left and right, and there were no ones at all, probably because they didn't know how to turn." What's even more bizarre is that a guy keeps spinning in circles, which should be a deviation in understanding.

"Who's that! Stop, don't turn around! Yao Fan was extremely depressed.

Li Hainiu ran up to Yao Fan and said, "Boss, why don't I it?" ”

Yao Fan's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that he was only interested in being a company commander, how could he put aside this person who had been a general of the Taiping Army.

"Manatee, do you have a way to call them, and you will know which way to turn at the first order?"

"Boss, this is the simplest, just tell them to wear shoes on one foot and no shoes on one foot."

Yao Fan could never tolerate such a ...... "barefoot!" This is a special fart military appearance! ”

So Yao Fannai put down his mind and demonstrated in front, relying on the foundation left by his high school military training, university military training, and company militia military training, the actions are still quite standard.

"See! It's a break! To take a break is to ask you to stand still in this position! ”

Yao Fan is determined not to embarrass himself anymore, and before teaching left and right, he will first teach these rookies to take a break. After learning to take a break, at least the rookies should always remember which side is the right foot.

Yao Fan first corrected the movements of the five squad leaders, and after fiddling the postures of the five platoon commanders correctly, he asked the five people to tease their subordinates.

Yao Fan wiped his sweat, saw that the five people were busy fiddling with the rest of the guys, and said in his heart:

"** said that we should take the mass training movement line of officers teaching soldiers, military instructors, and soldiers teaching soldiers, and what I said is really right, relying on me alone, I must be tired to death."

"The big guys are serious about training me in the queue! If you can't practice a neat queue, you will be looked down upon everywhere! Bandits and robbers are not afraid of you! If you can practice the queue well, the bandits and robbers will run away when they see you! It's called deterrence! Yao Fanxu said matter-of-factly.
