Chapter 20 The young man left home and returned to the eldest child

"Oh, that's the truth!" After listening to Xu Shuzheng's reasoning, Zhang Xun seemed to have just woken up from a dream, nodded again and again, and muttered: "Speaking of which, I misunderstood Zhi Lao before, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Looking at Zhang Xun's loyal look, Xu Shuzheng was a little stunned, a child of a Jiangxi peasant like Zhang Xun, who had not studied for a few years, could climb to such a high position as he is now, and it is impossible for him to be loyal and honest, let alone be moved by his empty words. Zhang Xun laughed again in a blink of an eye: "Brother Zheng again, restore the power of the country, and regain the prestige of the center, my old Zhang has no reason to disapprove." But the matter of sending troops to Europe...... My pigtail soldiers are not enough, if Zhi Lao intends to crusade against the protection of the southwest, my Lao Zhang is willing to take a trip. ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled slightly and agreed: "This is easy to say, it is a matter of time before the southwest is completely pacified, and when the time comes, the younger brother must ask for the life of Xuan Shuai, and this Guangdong overseer is none other than Xuan Shuai." ”

The two of them exchanged a few more words, and while talking, they got on the waiting green sedan chair and went in the direction of the Yamen of Xuzhou Daotai. At this time, on the other side of the train station, there was also a pair of brothers holding hands and getting into a carriage, it was Chang Ruiqing and his younger brother Chang Ruiyuan, who was on an errand in the Braided Army.

"Big brother, as I told you in Beijing last time, our house is now wider, and the old houses in the city have been renovated, and a large tiled house with three entrances and three exits has been built...... Outside the city, a new farm house was also purchased, just in Balitun, not far from Xuzhou City (referring to Tongshan County), a whole hundred acres of good land, all of which are Dutang and Duba, and a big house, which cost more than 4,000 yuan in total, and can collect dozens of rents a year...... "As soon as he got in the car, Chang Ruiyuan began to introduce the situation in the house.

"What?" Chang Ruiqing felt that something seemed to be wrong with his ears, and hurriedly interrupted Chang Ruiyuan, the younger brother who was dancing with his eyebrows and talking about the big shape shì in the family, and he said with a hesitant face: "Ruiyuan, where did our family get so much money?" Your Zhang Dashuai is not so generous, right? ”

Chang Ruiyuan grinned, and pointed to the big braid on the back of his head: "Our family can develop, of course, thanks to it!" Brother, let me tell you, on the ground within a radius of hundreds of miles in Xuzhou, the sky and the earth are not as big as this braid! With our handsome sixty-three battalion soldiers here, no one dares to provoke us! Even the foreign adults of the Jinpu Railway Bureau have nothing to do with our pigtails, and we will still be beaten hard if they provoke us! Therefore, almost half of this Jinpu Railway is serving our Dingwu Army, of course, you don't buy a ticket to take a car, and you don't dare to charge for a little something, even if you transport tobacco, no one dares to check...... You also know that our father was on an errand at the Jinpu Railway Bureau, and my younger brother and I got an errand next to Dashuai. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded in a sudden realization, he had seen these things from the book, Zhang Xun's braided soldiers were also famous in history, and the Jinpu and Longhai railways that converged in Xuzhou were actually Zhang Xun's way to make money. However, looking at Zhang Xun's small territory near Xuzhou, he fed the pigtailed soldiers of sixty-three battalions (up to hundreds of battalions), and knew that they must be some good things with huge profits......

"Ruiyuan, so let's talk about it, our family also makes money by transporting goods on the railway?" Chang Ruiqing seemed to suddenly think of something and asked in a muttered voice.

"Yes, we have a little way in the pigtail army, and they are all making money on the railway, what? Big brother, are you a little excited? ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and waved his hand: "In a few months, some things want to be put in the house for a while, is it convenient along the way?" ”

Chang Ruiyuan's eyes rolled, and he didn't ask what it was, so he patted his chest and said, "What's inconvenient?" With our braids and our father's connections on the railway, there is no problem in transporting arms and tobacco! ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded, and did not say what he wanted to transport, but continued to ask his brother about the things at home.

Now his father's second room has been completed...... In fact, this is nothing, Chang Dad is only in his early forties, it is the prime of life, and the family takes advantage of a few dollars, it is normal to find a small one in this year! As for Chang Wang's family, uh, it's Chang Ruiqing and Chang Ruiyuan's mother, but they tossed violently, crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves all over again, but it was useless, and in the end they could only accept their fate!

In addition to having a little mother, his younger brother Chang Ruiyuan has also set a family business, the other party's family is a staff member of the Jinpu Railway Bureau, and Chang Laohu is a colleague, surnamed Zhang, the daughter is only 16 years old this year, and has studied in Shanghai for a few years, Chang Ruiyuan has never seen what he looks like! Standard arranged marriage, I don't know if the little girl will run away from marriage or something? As for Chang Ruiqing's marriage...... Chang's father really doesn't care much, and he doesn't seem to have much affection for this eldest son who hasn't been very close since he was a child, but Chang Wang's family is working hard in Zhang Luo, it is said that the other party is the daughter of her maiden cousin, who is only 15 years old this year, and is still a virtual age...... Uh, Lori's little cousin, this evil old society, it's really evil!

The car went all the way, Chang Ruiqing and his brother pulled the family routine, while opening the curtain from time to time to look around, enjoying the scenery of his hometown. Today's Xuzhou has been more prosperous than when he left his hometown to go to Nanjing to study in the army primary school, on both sides of the street, row upon row are all business wines, and the pedestrians, cars and horses on the street are also shoulder to shoulder, it seems that after the railway in Xuzhou, it is indeed becoming more and more prosperous.

All the way slowly, walked for about an hour, the car passed through Xuzhou City (Tongshan County), from the south gate out of the city, there are pigtailed soldiers holding rifles standing guard to collect taxes at the city gate, lifting the curtain of the car to see the Chang family brothers in military uniforms, naturally did not dare to make trouble, waved their hands and let go. Out of the city and westward, there are farmland on both sides of the road, and it is already past the autumn harvest at this time, so it is all bare, and there is no interest. After walking for about ten miles, I entered a village surrounded by earthen fences, which was probably Balitun. Historically, the Xuzhou area was often in chaos, so there were fortifications made of earth and stone outside the villages here, and the big families in the village would unite to form a militia or something...... It is the post-secular so-called "landlord arm", which seems to be doing some things to bully men and women, and it seems to be very reactionary. As a matter of fact, in this chaotic world, if it were really an undefended peaceful village, it is estimated that all kinds of soldiers and bandits would have been leveled long ago, and the poor middle peasants living in it would not have survived the day of liberation.

As soon as I entered the enclosure, I saw a big house door, with the sign of Changfu, and there were two tall and strong young men wearing cotton robes at the door, and I don't know if it was the legendary "landlord arm"? Well, Chang Ruiqing's family background has degenerated from a glorious working class to a landlord bully! I am still a Beiyang warlord, and I seem to be getting farther and farther away from the standard of a revolutionary.

When the two people at the door saw Chang Ruiyuan getting out of the car, they smiled and saluted, and one of them said: "Ruiyuan, the master and the master are waiting inside, why did they come...... Oh, this is Big Brother Ruiqing, right? Heh, two bars and one star, it's the battalion commander's errand, right? What a blessing the master is! ”

Well, these two co-authors are Chang Laohu's apprentices, standard industrial workers! The vanguard of the Chinese proletariat is also. Chang Ruiyuan also hugged his fists at the two "pioneers", and introduced Chang Ruiqing again, these two people turned out to be a pair of brothers, both surnamed Wang, and the nephews of Chang Wang's (that is, Chang's mother) mother's family, one is called Erdezi, the other is called Sandezi, the family is poor and middle peasants, and he has not studied anything. However, these two brothers are not bad-looking, they both have thick eyebrows and big eyes, Chinese faces, and they look very upright, just like the Li Yuhe in "Red Lantern", it seems that they have to find a way to guide them on the road of revolution......
