*******************************

Ma Zhizhai is very talkative, and he drinks a lot, and he is very bold at the wine table, and he quickly won the favor of Lu Zhengde and his brothers, and even the master Lu Zhengxian, who was full of flowers, also quietly said to Wu Ming: "Wine is character, this Ma Chief not only does not have the slightest shelf, but also has a straight and open-minded eye, which is worthy of deep friendship." ”

The banquet lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and Ma Zhizhai, who was at peace with the encounter, led eleven drunken and hazy brothers to squeeze into Wu Ming's small building to rest, saying that he did not want to disturb several family members and villagers who had families and rooms, and before parting, he also sincerely thanked the two Lu Dangjia and Lei Qi, the head of the She tribe, and thanked everyone for specially preparing delicious venison and yellow sheep for him, a Hui person, and he will never forget it in his life.

After settling Ma Zhizhai and his brothers, Wu Ming saw that Lu Zhengde and the others were still downstairs and had not left, and knew that they had something to say, so they went downstairs and returned to Lu Zhengde's home together.

Lu Zhengde's mother-in-law and Li Kun's mother-in-law had already re-arranged the three tables full of wine and food, and when they saw Wu Ming coming back, they were all standing aside, and their eyes were full of reluctance.

Wu Ming sighed slightly, didn't sit down, picked up the wine glass to toast a few mothers-in-law, several mothers-in-law were embarrassed to dodge at first, and then drank a glass at Wu Ming's insistence, and ran into the back room after putting down the cup, and after a while, there was a sound of crying.

The atmosphere in the main hall became very depressing, Wu Ming had no choice but to propose that everyone touch a cup, and after drinking, he pretended to pick up the chopsticks easily, picked up a piece of red stewed venison and stuffed it into his mouth:

"If you have something to say, it's not life and death, Maoliangwu is only more than 100 miles away from Quzhou City, it's not easy to meet? Aren't you going to let me come back? ”

Lei Qi, who was in a hurry, hurriedly leaned in and poured wine for Wu Ming: "Brother, did you really decide to take only Kui Yuan and my kid out?" ”

"Yes! It's too few, how can you have a group of your own henchmen in the army! Li Kun and Lao Liu echoed.

Lu Zhengxian waited for everyone to finish speaking, and suggested to Wu Ming unhurriedly: "Zhilu Dao, you are worried that your family is not full of manpower, and you are unwilling to take the old brothers out, but you can pick a group of dozens of new young men to take them away, otherwise there is no one to call outside, how can you do it?" ”

The brothers echoed again, and Lu Zhengde said loudly: "The forty men selected by the militia from the 800 new people are good at skill, and they are good soldiers if they are trained. ”

Wu Ming had to patiently explain:

"It's not that I don't want to take more people away, it's that all the people are not suitable at the moment, and to put it bluntly, they don't meet my criteria for picking people. Don't stare at me like that, I'm telling the truth! First of all, the strong old brothers were basically illiterate, and only four of them could barely write and count and could not do without the caravan...... You must know that as the business slowly grows, the manpower will become more and more tight, I can't just care about my own comfort, regardless of the vital interests of my parents and fellow villagers, right? ”

Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard it, and no one could refute Wu Ming's words.

Wu Ming continued: "The forty militia members selected from the 800 newcomers are the same, they are all illiterate, and they are new to the city, they can't even understand the local dialect, and they don't have a year and a half adaptation period, so they can't help me at all, right? If you really want to help me, then gather all the children aged 10 to 15 in the village, build a barracks and discipline them in a centralized manner, form a class and hand them over to Principal Li and the two gentlemen, teach them literacy for half a day, participate in the labor they can for half a day, and then arrange for a few old brothers with high skills and good marksmanship to teach them to practice martial arts and guns, and they will become talented in only three years, and even if you don't want to give it to me, I will ask for it! ”

"This, this ......"

"That's too demanding, isn't it? Isn't it just being a soldier? ”

"What Brother Ming said makes sense, didn't you hear what Chief Ma said at the banquet just now? Brother Ming is the adjutant of staff and the chief of ordnance of the headquarters as soon as he goes! What is an armory? It's all technical work, only strength and illiterate, so how can it work? ”

The brothers were talking about it, and Lu Zhengde hurriedly patted the table: "Don't make any noise, just do what Brother Wu says, and start tomorrow to gather all the children, and my second child will be counted as one!" ”

All the brothers closed their mouths in amusement, but Lu Zhengxian still had ideas, pointed to Zhang Dongning, who was sitting at the end, and suggested to Wu Ming: "I want Dongning to go with you, this kid is careful, his marksmanship and skills are passable, he has been stealing teachers from you for more than half a year, and he has made considerable progress, I think you can be more relaxed with him by your side and do some trivial things." ”

Wu Ming was very surprised when he heard it.

Zhang Dongning is the quasi-son-in-law of his master Lu Zhengxian, two years younger than Wu Ming, not only looks good, but also can write and calculate, and his heart is as careful as a hair, and he has been following the third master Li Kun to do some secret affairs to listen to news and contact internal and external affairs, and Wu Ming just drank the engagement wine of Zhang Dongning and Lu Zhengxian's eldest daughter last month, I didn't expect Lu Zhengxian to be so generous.

Wu Ming found that Zhang Dongning's eyes were blazing at him, and he pondered for a moment and agreed: "It's best to have Dongning's help, and the contact with the village in the future also needs your own people who are familiar with the situation." ”

"What about the twenty long and short spears that Commander Ma brought?" Li Kun immediately came up with the idea of this batch of weapons.

Wu Ming hurriedly refused: "Third brother, don't think about this, one yard is one yard, you can't let Chief Ma look down on them, the matter of guns and ammunition has the promise of Chief Ma, and everyone's is indispensable." I'll find a way to find a way to send back a lot more in the future than you want. ”

The brothers laughed and drank for a while, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Next, Lu Zhengxian took out seven or eight texts written by Wu Ming, and began to discuss specific affairs such as mining, land reclamation, logging, and setting up factories in the village, as well as setting up permanent offices in Quzhou and Changzhou respectively, and was busy until four o'clock in the morning, before letting the dizzy Wu Ming go back to rest.

At dawn the next day, Wu Ming and Ma Zhizhai were woken up by the sound of footsteps downstairs, and when they got up, they found that three tables of banquets had been set up downstairs, several leaders stood under the big camphor tree and smoked, a group of brothers and mothers-in-law served food and wine, and they were busy.

Ma Zhizhai was quite moved in his heart, and sighed in a low voice to Wu Ming, who was standing on the edge of the railing with moist eyes: "Brother, it is worth this life to be so supported by my father and fellow villagers!" ”

Wu Ming nodded and didn't speak, returned to the room and put on the black youth clothes that had been washed and faded, and the two apprentices who were already standing behind the door with water and towels hurriedly went up, served the master to wash his face, and then helped the master lift the two canvas backpacks bought back in Hangzhou.

"Wait! Brother Wu, let's change into a military uniform, I'm going to leave later, and it's more convenient to wear it on the road. Ma Zhizhai suggested.

Wu Ming waved his hand: "Let's change it on the road, I'll wait for you to wash up, go down together, the brothers you brought are all downstairs, it's noisy early in the morning, it is estimated that they are ready." ”

"Okay."

Ma Zhizhai washed up a little, tidied up his appearance very seriously, took out the small horn from his pocket and combed his slightly long hair, put on a big cap upright, straightened his chest, and went downstairs with Wu Ming to greet everyone.

Wu Ming looked at the old folks who came to the nest around him, and knew that he couldn't eat this breakfast, but he didn't know what to do.

In the end, it was the master Lu Zhengde who took the lead in picking up the wine bowl, saluting around, saying a farewell message loudly, and then toasting Wu Ming and Ma Zhizhai with all the brothers.

After drinking three bowls of wine, Wu Ming suddenly felt that his nose was sour, his whole body was hot, his head was hot, he drank a lot of alcohol and never blushed, and his face was like Guan Gong at this time.

In front of everyone's eyes, Wu Ming walked alone to Mr. Li and the two old gentlemen in front of the crowd, moved his lips a few times, and suddenly bowed and squeezed out a sentence: "Sister Li, two seniors, the children in the village will please leave you!" ”

"Mr. Wu, don't be like this, ashamed of old age!"

"The old man always remembers Mr. Wu's kindness, and more than 800 fathers and villagers who have survived in desperate situations also miss Mr. for his kindness day and night!"

Sister Li, whose face had recovered some blood, bowed deeply to Wu Ming, and pulled the two children, a man and a woman, to her side: "Kowtow to Uncle Wu!" ”

The two five or six-year-old children immediately knelt on the ground, Wu Ming immediately squatted down and pulled the children up, and smiled at the two children kindly: "Don't do this, work hard, grow up quickly, and be filial to your mother in the future." ”

The six-year-old girl nodded shyly, and the other eight-year-old boy who picked it up bit his lip and looked at Wu Ming: "Uncle, when I grow up, I will definitely repay you well!" ”

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and touched the child's head: "I just did a little bit of duty, it's not worth it to you, otherwise I will live a very tired life." ”

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he nodded to Sister Li and the two gentlemen, turned around and returned to Lu Zhengde, Ma Zhizhai and others, discussed a few words and left the whole team.

Thousands of onlookers immediately surged, followed the horse team, and sent it to the village entrance three miles away, countless people's eyes were flushed, tears were hazy, until Wu Ming and his party turned around the river bend and disappeared, and the villagers were still reluctant to leave for a long time.

In less than an hour, a horse team of nearly 100 people arrived in Fangcun, Wu Ming turned over and dismounted, and did not let Lu Zhengxian, Lu Zhengde and the brothers send it again.

Lu Zhengde and Lei Qi couldn't resist Wu Ming, so they had to go to their sons separately and tell them thousands of times, full of love and affection. Lu Zhengxian whispered to his respectful son-in-law Zhang Dongning, and Ma Zhizhai and the eleven brothers in the army on the side sighed.

In order to save horsepower, Li Kun spent double the money to hire two wooden boats, and led the brothers to lead the horses onto the wooden boats, but Wu Ming's zebra was unwilling to get on the boat, so Li Kun had to order it to go with it, standing aside and waiting quietly.

Wu Ming came to Li Kun, took his hand and whispered. Li Kun nodded frequently and replied that he had memorized everything.

After talking for a while, Wu Ming took Lu Kuiyuan, Lei Peng and Zhang Dongning, led the flower zebra and the brothers in the army to board another boat, the boatman supported the boat to shore and went down the river, and the sound of admonition sounded on the shore again, Wu Ming waved his hand to the reluctant brothers on the shore, and no longer looked over.

Ma Zhizhai Zhilu said that Wu Ming's heart was far less relaxed than he showed, and he came to him with a smile: "Commander Zhilu said that you like horses, and they are ready for you, you don't need to take this horse there." ”

Wu Ming said with a smile: "It's okay, this horse has a relationship with me, don't look at it ugly, its strength is not small, and it is not yet an adult, when it grows up, maybe it is a good horse." ”
