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

Under the chairmanship of Fang Youchun, Wu Ming obtained a lot of valuable information from the small briefing held especially for him, and Wu Ming had a relatively clear and intuitive understanding of the garrison situation, the resume of the chief officer, the current situation of the army, the plan for rectification and expansion, and the expansion of troops, including the seven counties under the jurisdiction of the Western Zhejiang Security Command.

"That's basically the case, and the unfinished matters still need to be patiently observed and experienced by Brother Wu. There is also good news, the fifty Suichang recruits you entrusted Lao Zhong to recall have all arrived, all of them are under twenty years old, and their health and character are good, I will temporarily place them in the new barracks, and the settling-in allowance will also be paid for you, you can take them tomorrow, and you can choose the other 100 shortages among the two thousand recruits who have been recruited recently...... Don't worry, there are a few of us standing on the side, you can pick, no one dares to make it difficult for you. ”

Chief of Staff Ma Zhizhai closed the notebook after speaking, the reason why he strongly supported Wu Ming's ordnance station to establish a garrison company was not only that his faction could master an additional force, but also because he wanted to see what Wu Ming was capable of, and to see if Wu Ming was worthy of the respect of the elder official Youchun.

Wu Ming thanked Ma Zhizhai and put forward his own requirements on the many affairs of the Ordnance Institute:

"Big brother, brothers, in your introduction just now, I learned that our current Fushan battalion will soon be insufficient, the Wengcheng military camp in the west gate has been assigned to the Quxian Security Regiment, and several other small military camps in the city have been taken over by the special office, and we have no other camps in Quzhou City, so I think, can we allocate the original Ma Army camp leased to merchants outside the north gate to our ordnance station?"

Everyone was quite surprised, Fang Youchun asked puzzledly: "That place is the old camp that existed during the Manchu Green Battalion, no one has ever looked at it since Xinhai, and now it has long been dilapidated, most of the barracks have collapsed, only the front three rows of barracks and the central small quadrangle can shelter from the wind and rain, the ground is potholes, full of mud, overgrown with weeds, stinky and smelly, and even the remaining two sections of the wall have been demolished by the surrounding people, how can the important ordnance be set up there?" No, no! You have to change places, you guys help me think, what else is appropriate? ”

Wu Ming was anxious, and hurriedly explained: "That place is the most suitable, although it is more remote, but just spend a lot of money to repair it." Again, isn't the eldest brother worried about the occupation of the old repair institute in the east of the city? simply take this opportunity to ask the government for a sum of money to build a new repair shop in the horse camp, and the barracks of the garrison company can be solved by the way. ”

"The most rear, and most importantly, the west of the Ma Jun camp is adjacent to the renovated Sanqu Academy, the previously closed Quzhou Industrial College is also there, the southeast has been to the north moat, most of the hardware factories and handicraft workshops in Quzhou are distributed, the east is a thousand acres of rice fields at a glance, and the northwest, north and northeast are surrounded by big rivers on three sides, which is a natural protective barrier! Just imagine, what better place to garrison than here? ”

Everyone was obviously moved by Wu Ming's words, and they all looked at Fang Youchun.

Fang Youchun pondered for a long time: "This is a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone, but it also costs a lot of money!" Xie Yuzhang didn't leave me any money when he stepped down, and the military expenses for the expansion above have not yet arrived, and the taxes in the fourth quarter of each county can not be handed over to the special office until the end of the year, and then they can be allocated. ”

Ma Zhizhai also complained bitterly, it can really be said that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero.

Wu Ming had already anticipated this situation, and gave a bold idea at the moment: "Borrow!" Borrowed money from a few large households in the city, borrowed from the Quzhou branch of the Bank of China, which had been open for half a year, and told them that if they had trouble in the future, they would not ask us, and then before the new commissioner came to take office, he sent several teams of officers and soldiers to forcibly take back all the real estate and docks belonging to our army, and see what to do with the group of officials in the special office! ”

Fang Youchun's eyes immediately widened, and Ma Zhizhai was eyes glowing, ready to move, looking at Wu Ming, who was holding a teacup and drinking tea leisurely, full of admiration, he never thought that this seemingly polite new brother would come up with such a ruthless and unique idea.

"Big brother, it's worth doing! The brothers have long been displeased with the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the special office! Chen Qian said loudly.

In contrast, Ma Zhizhai was quite calm: "I dare not say whether I can borrow money, but it is still feasible to get back the property that belongs to us...... Commander, we should also be appropriately tough, and without violating military discipline, we can do something, and we can remind all walks of life in Quzhou, otherwise I am afraid that the future will not be easy! ”

"I'm for it!"

Gu Yueheng said in a loud voice, it is estimated that he is afraid of the embarrassing days borrowed from east to west during this time.

Fang Youchun took a lot of effort before nodding slightly: "That's it, tomorrow I will discuss it with Deputy Commander Tang and Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou, everyone knows that Lu Dao has a hard time without money, even if the 300,000 military expansion funds allocated by the province come, it will not solve the fundamental problem, it is estimated that Deputy Commander Tang and they can also understand this hardship." ”

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the commander had finally come to his senses.

Without waiting for everyone to be happy for long, Fang Youchun turned to Wu Ming: "Do you estimate, how much will it cost to repair the Ma Army camp?" ”

"I want as much as you give, the more the merrier! Am I still afraid of more money? Wu Ming replied with a smile.

The brothers couldn't help but laugh, Fang Youchun glared at him angrily: "I can only give you 10,000, no matter how much, you can't take back the idea of various industries in and outside the city, I know that you have the ability, figure it out yourself." ”

"What? Only 10,000? ”

Wu Ming's eyes widened and he shouted loudly in disbelief, and the brothers laughed again.

Fang Youchun didn't seem to see it, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly: "That's all, it's okay if you don't want to, if you can start from scratch, I'll give you a captain." ”

Wu Ming looked at a few brothers who were holding back their laughter, and knew that he didn't need to count on these guys, so he had to propose a compromise solution: "Since the eldest brother has talked about this, I can understand the eldest brother's difficulties...... In this way, with the guarantee of the headquarters, I am responsible for borrowing 200,000 yuan from outside, and in addition, I will hand over the construction and future management rights of the repair institute to me, and I will be responsible for repaying the debt within two years, and I will never be in arrears! This is my bottom line, if I don't agree, I will go back to Maoliangwu tomorrow to dig coal. ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Ma Zhizhai exclaimed in unison.

The teacup in Fang Youchun's hand was almost uncontrollable: "You really dare to open your mouth!" The matter of the repair institute can be promised to you, you know the skills and the market, except for you, I'm afraid no one has this ability, but don't even think about the 200,000 loan, what do you let me take as a guarantee? Take my 100 or dozens of catties to mortgage? ”

"Take credit! Take the good name that your Commander Fang has built up over the years! If those big landlords and big businessmen are unwilling, we can completely re-establish the newly abolished water and land checkpoints, continue to practice Xie Yuzhang's method of plucking the feathers, and in a year's time, we can at least collect 500,000 yuan in protection fees and anti-bandit donations, right? As long as the money doesn't fall into the pockets of individuals, there is no! As for the issue of face, you don't have to worry too much, big brother, you did so well before, and you didn't get in the breeze and salt on your sleeves, but look at it, how many people are grateful to you? Wu Ming gritted his teeth and said all the cruel words.

Fang Youchun's face changed drastically, and he slowly stood up under the worried eyes of the brothers, walked to the side and bowed his head and sighed, walking back and forth more than a dozen times before coming back and sitting down again:

"There is no need to talk about the matter of setting up cards and fees, we can not increase the burden of the people for our own selfishness, there are enough kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, if I set up cards to collect taxes, businessmen and big landlords will not distribute this money to the poor people? So don't talk about this method anymore! ”

"Since you are so confident and promise to repay the loan within two years, I am willing to bring out this old face and borrow 200,000 yuan for you to come back, no matter how you use it, I must see the brand-new armory factory and barracks within three months, I must see the brand-new armory factory and barracks, I must see the brand-new armor repair station start production, and I must see your garrison company formed within six months! It's the best I can do, how's that? Do you dare to make a military order? ”

The brothers were taken aback and immediately looked at Wu Ming, who was full of emotion.

Wu Ming slowly stood up: "Xie Lu, Brother Xie's trust!" Since I dare to bring it up, I am sure that I can do it, even if I lose, I can afford to lose, and I will never harm any of my eldest brother's interests, so as long as it can meet my requirements, I dare to sign any military order! ”

"In addition, I also have a request, I want to ask Brother Gu to share part of his energy and help me, responsible for the bidding and procurement of construction projects and the review of the income and expenditure of all funds.

Fang Youchun and several henchmen looked at each other, they didn't expect Wu Ming to calculate so carefully, who here is not an old bird who has lived in the military for a long time? After hearing this, I didn't know that Wu Ming was showing his loyalty to Fang Youchun, showing his humility and cooperation attitude to the brothers, not only telling everyone that he Wu Ming did not have any ambitions, but also reassuring everyone that he would not be above any brother because of Fang Youchun's trust, he only cared about his own affairs, this scheming, this openness, so that the brothers were all impressed and admired.

Fang Youchun was moved in his heart, but he pretended to be very serious on his face: "Okay! Then it's decided, you should rest after a day's journey, and everyone will have to go out tomorrow morning, including you, since you have entered the army, I will not give you any special treatment. ”

"Yes!"

Ma Zhizhai and the three of them immediately stood up and saluted neatly, only Wu Ming stood up lazily, said hello to everyone and walked to the guest room on the left.

At two o'clock in the morning, Fang Youchun still couldn't sleep, Wu Ming's shock to him today was too great, every solution to the difficulty proposed by Wu Ming, as well as the seemingly bitter and mean words, hit his heart like a heavy hammer, bringing him a great shock At the same time, it also made him reflect on his past again and weigh his gains and losses.

Sister-in-law Fang came back from nursing the child and lay down, seeing that her husband was still open, looking at the top of the mosquito net and thinking hard, she pulled the thin blanket and covered her husband in distress: "Don't think about it, sleep, you will be busy again in three hours." ”

Fang Youchun let out a long breath and took his wife Lou into his arms: "You say, what kind of person is the little brother?" Where did he learn so many fancy ideas? ”

Sister-in-law Fang hurriedly stood up, stroked her husband's chest, and said another thing worriedly:

"When do you talk to the little brother, Zhichun cried quietly for a long time just now, and it can be seen that her heart is all tied to the little brother, but the little brother is still lukewarm to her, as if he can't see anything, alas! Zhichun is not young, and she will be twenty-three after the New Year, you as a big brother have to think of ways to fulfill her wishes! ”

Fang Youchun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What do you want me to say?" If Zhichun doesn't change her stinky temper, can she expect her little brother to look up to her? Little brother, you don't know the character of this person, he is peaceful on the outside, strong on the inside, to put it a little ugly, he is more stubborn and strong than anyone else, don't expect to impress him with any feelings and interests, as long as he is unwilling, no one wants to persuade him, as long as he is willing, no one can stop him, understand? If you have time to persuade Zhichun, happiness needs to be fought for by yourself, and you can't count on others. ”

Sister-in-law Fang was annoyed: "Is there a brother like you like this?" Leave everything behind and ignore you! ”
