023 Small Day
When Huang Ke put Qiu Ba's head in front of Zhao Tinghui. Zhao Tinghui was stunned at first, and after carefully inspecting it, he turned to joy after a while, and finally cried bitterly on the ground with his head in his hands.
Huang Ke understands his feelings, the revenge of killing his father has been pressing on this man's chest for too long, for many years he has endured humiliation and fulfilled the responsibility that a man should fulfill, and now it seems that everything has finally come to an end.
Zhao Xiaowan also cried with his brother after seeing it.
After a period of emotional catharsis, Zhao Tinghui sorted out his gaffe expression, and he said to Huang Ke with a smile: "Thank you so much!" I really don't know what to say, don't worry! When you run a newspaper, I will personally contribute 50,000 silver yuan to support you...... You are a great benefactor to our Zhao family......"
On weekdays, Zhao Tinghui, who spoke carefully, also became incoherent this time, and it seemed that he was really excited.
Chen Lianbo and the others naturally reacted with joy, this merchant army was only an experimental army. I didn't expect Huang Ke to bring it so well, it seems that it is time to become larger.
Chen Lianbo gave Chen Gong, the director of the Police Department next to him, a smile and stood up and said, "Mr. Huang led the team to a great victory, we should hold a celebration banquet today." Don't say anything, I'm in for a treat today, let's all go eat Western food! ”
As soon as Zhao Tinghui heard this, he hurriedly said politely: "When you come to me, how can you be treated?" I'm going to do it today. ”
"It's right here for Boss Zhao," Chen Lianbo made a decisive suggestion, and at noon, he stayed at the banquet prepared by Zhao Tinghui to eat.
Between the banquets, Huang Ke also told Zhao Xiaowan to let the back kitchen cook and deliver food to the brothers of the teaching team, and strictly stipulated that no alcohol should be consumed.
Zhao Xiaowan also knew that she shouldn't be involved in the affairs of these big men, so she found an excuse to go out.
At the banquet, it was natural to praise the merchant army. The sophisticated Zhao Tinghui's hospitality made everyone very satisfied, he not only prepared Chinese food, but also prepared Western food and knives and forks used by Chen Lianbo and others, and even prepared some French red wine that Chen Bolian likes to drink.
Chen Gongshou saw the red wine, and he was happy to get some, and when the white wine and red wine were in his stomach, he couldn't help but feel a little more arrogant. Seeing Chen Lianbo's eyes at him, he pretended to be drunk and stood up, then picked up a glass of blood-like red wine and walked up to Chen Lianbo and said, "President Chen, we have also seen today's results, the merchant army is really mighty and majestic. However, the teaching team of more than 300 people will not work after all, Guangdong is so big, and there are so many business groups of merchants, and more than 300 people are still ...... after all."
Chen Lianbo put down the knife and fork and gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a napple: "This depends on what MrHuang thinks?" ”
Of course, Huang Ke understood what Chen Lianbo meant, and he wanted to expand the scale of the merchant army in order to better seek corresponding political rights and interests.
This is what Huang Ke can't ask for, but he can't show it too obviously, otherwise the other party will be suspicious.
"For me, it's okay to practice more, I'm still barely able to do it out of a thousand people. However, at present, the barracks are too small, it is inconvenient for the team to communicate with the merchant group, and my personal office is also a little cramped, and these problems are ......"
Hearing this, Chen Lianbo couldn't help but smile in his heart, this guy has no big ambitions after all, and he still wants to take advantage of a little bit in the end.
Chen Lianbo picked up a knife and fork and cut the steak on the plate: "I also have plans for the barracks, the place in Luokou is too small, I am looking for a new place recently, once the barracks are built, you will move over."
"As for the weapon, you don't have to worry about it. I will personally pay 300 silver dollars for you to install a telephone, and I will also allocate 100 silver yuan to you every month as the communication fee for the telephone. As for Mr Huang personally? ”
"I'll take care of his personal housing" Zhao Tinghui took over the conversation, in fact, he is the one who knows Huang Ke's inner thoughts best, but he doesn't want to say it. "How can I say that Mr. Huang is my brother-in-law and my Zhao family's great benefactor, and I should do this."
A few days later, Zhao Tinghui paid Huang Ke to buy a small western-style building near Hualin Temple in Xiguan, Guangzhou, at a price of 35 yuan per square meter, which was fair. Although the whole house cost a few thousand silver yuan, it was just a drop in the bucket for Zhao Tinghui.
In early February, Zhao Tinghui handed over the key to the house to Huang Ke, and at the same time handed over to Huang Ke his sister-in-law Zhao Xiaowan.
After a series of things, Zhao Tinghui understood that Huang Ke was not a simple person, and it seemed that he could not participate in the big things he was going to do. Since his sister likes him so much, he simply let her go, so this girl also obeys him.
But this wedding still needs to be done, even if it is simple, but the ceremony is indispensable.
In the middle of February, the Spring Festival was over, and Zhao Tinghui began to be busy with his sister-in-law's marriage. The reason why Huang Ke has been reluctant to hold a marriage before, Zhao Tinghui probably thought of something, I am afraid that he is unwilling to intervene in the door.
Now, he bought them a house in Guangzhou, and he can be regarded as marrying his sister.
This is not pleasing to the eye of the housekeeper Lao Wang, he always mutters behind his back, and Huang Ke doesn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person.
After moving to Guangzhou City, the barracks also had to be moved, and according to the requirements of the merchant group, in addition to the daily training, the training team also had to send out a part of the troops to patrol the commercial premises and maintain normal commercial activities.
I'm afraid that there will be fewer days in Luokou in the future, thinking of this, Zhao Tinghui can't help but feel a little melancholy.
Before leaving, Zhao Tinghui said to Huang Ke seriously: "Huang Ke, treat Xiaowan well, she is the most painful person in my life." Zhao Tinghui put the key in Huang Ke's hand and glanced at Zhao Xiaowan next to him affectionately.
Huang Ke took the key and nodded vigorously: "Big brother, don't worry, I will let your efforts be rewarded." ”
At this time, Zhao Xiaowan, who was standing on the side, had already cried into a tearful person, and the tears of the bean were falling down. Huang Ke looked distressed, he knew that although Zhao Xiaowan was arrogant on weekdays, he had always relied on his brother, and now he was a little reluctant to leave his brother.
"Alright, you guys should hurry up." Zhao Tinghui wanted to ask a few words, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, this uncle naturally knows no less than him.
Several horses galloped back and forth, and finally arrived at their new home in Xiguan before dark. After opening the key, Huang Ke seemed to be very satisfied, this is a European-style building, the upper and lower floors are more than 300 square meters, and it also shows the history of colonization and cultural integration here.
The furniture in the house is very complete, and it belongs to the "bag and move-in" type of real estate promotion in the 21st century.
Huang Ke walked in and took a look, and he liked it more and more. The first floor is a large living room, the floor is made of cherry wood, the room has an English-style candlestick on the English fireplace, a leather sofa in the living room, and a West Asian-style pattern painted on the carpet.
Zhao Xiaowan liked the piano as soon as she saw it, she happily lifted the lid and played a Beethoven piece lightly.
The light and cheerful sound of the piano made Huang Ke's heart refreshed, how could he enjoy this kind of life in his time? I worked hard all day long, and in the end I still lived in a house of more than 100 square meters.
Thinking of this, Huang Ke glanced at Zhao Xiaowan who was playing the piano, this Republic of China version of Guan Zhilin is really beautiful and moving.
After a few more nannies, Huang Ke transferred Fourteen Tsai and a team of people to be guards, and his own shelf was put out.
Thinking of this, Huang Ke couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
Huang Ke has just moved here, and there is good news from the merchant group over there: the new barracks have been decided.
In a small town in Guangzhou, near Foshan, a brand-new barracks has been erected, and both the area and the barracks equipment here are much better than those in Luokou.
After hearing the news, Huang Ke immediately sent Cui Wu to drive a horse with him on the third day to check.
After seeing it, he was very satisfied, this barracks can station a team of more than 1,000 people, and now it is used to train new soldiers, and after a long time, it can be used as a garrison for regimental troops.
However, at the moment, if you want to expand the army to a regiment at once, you are a little anxious.
Now these more than 300 people finally have some personal loyalty to him, after all, these people have a relatively high cultural quality, and they are all relatively young, and the closed military training can allow them to gain some understanding, but how to train them if they recruit more people?
When Huang Ke was worried, the merchant group had already recruited more than 1,300 soldiers in just one month, and unlike the last time when it was completely indulgent, among the more than 1,000 people sent this time, the merchant group had been preliminarily divided into thirteen companies, and the corresponding company commanders had been selected.
This move was made by Chen Gongshou and Chen Lianbo, they are not fools, in the previous military operations, although they have seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Shang Tuan Army, but at the same time, they have also seen Huang Ke's prestige in this army.
It is not possible to continue to develop in this way, the merchant army was funded and established by the merchant group, and it must obey the words of the merchant group. After discussion, several directors of the merchant group came up with a way to arrange people to enter the merchant corps army, and to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
