At the junction of the four counties of Fuling, Yuan Qian was quite attentive to the location of the school. At first, because he didn't need money and his reputation, many people came to visit.

It is not so easy for a school to be established, not only with the support of the local gentry, but also with the injection of funds. Yuan Qian was already stretched, and it was okay to barely maintain the existing school expenses. After selling Mingsheng, most of his money was used to pay off his debts, and a small part was invested in the Hechuan Power Plant. So that's why he insisted on going back to Shanghai to order a ship. If he wants to build social construction, he must have economic construction as a support.

He had no choice but to give up Mingsheng, but after all, he was unwilling, so after several field trips, he still decided to develop the steamship transportation industry.

After Shao Yizhao heard that he was going back to Shanghai to customize a passenger ship, he suspiciously stopped it, and the current transportation industry has been monopolized by foreign businessmen and the steamship China Merchants Bureau. He wanted to survive here, but the chances were slim. Although he had a small success in his Ming life, this is the capital of Chongqing, and the ships of Britain, the United States, Japan, Italy and other countries can be seen.

Not to mention external troubles, let's talk about internal worries, bandits are rampant near the Sichuan River, and incidents of disturbing the people occur from time to time. Chaotic social order, collusion between officials and bandits. It is even more difficult to develop shipping in such an environment.

But Yuan Qian has made up his mind, and while he wishes him good luck, he really hopes that he can achieve a career.......

During the time Yuan Qian returned to Shanghai, the school under construction was stagnant due to the problem of bricks. At first, these materials were purchased in Hechuan County, but because of the limited power of the vehicle, they could not be pulled back at one time, so Chengyu discussed with the manufacturer to pull them away several times. However, on this last trip, something went wrong.

There is a bandit's nest on Fuling Mountain, specializing in raiding houses and robbing houses, and a group of people usually have nothing to do on the mountain road thinking about how to burn, kill and loot. This Bu Chengyu and the villagers pulled the bricks and tiles back and forth four or five times, and the people below had already figured out the matter clearly.

When the big boss heard that Fuling County was going to build a school, no one informed him of such a big thing, so he couldn't get angry, so he sent someone to rob the last car of bricks and tiles.

Seungwoo took people to theorize, but was caught back by the people on the mountain, and several other villagers were also seriously injured. The bandit leader named Yuan Qian to take a bounty to ransom people.

After hearing the ins and outs, he picked up the wooden sticks in the yard and was about to go up the mountain. was drunk by Yuan Qian.

"The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, you just rushed over in a daze, not only could you not save Chengyu, but also put yourself in. We're going to have to think of a perfect solution. If it is a tough encounter, with both Ming and the people brought by Yizhao, it may not be difficult to rescue Chengyu. So in the future, it will be difficult to fight wits and courage with these people in the future. In order to change this, we must prevent future troubles......"

"Yes......" Shao Yizhao nodded in agreement.

"Young Master Yizhao, isn't this your uncle's realm? If he says a word, I don't believe those mountain bandits and don't give them face? ”

"Gotta ...... Stop, my uncle...... I have a headache when I mention him, my eyes are as big as my fingers, and he said that the water is clear and there are no fish. Otherwise, why bandits are rampant in Yudu is not the reason why he turned a blind eye. For this reason, he would never send troops. ”

"I don't want to owe such a big favor, so we still have to solve this matter ourselves."

While a few people were talking, Mei Lin came in with a maid with tea and pushed the door in, and the few people who were talking stopped talking. Mei Lin personally served tea for Yuan Qian, and the moment she put down the tea bowl, she smiled at Yuan Qian, and Yuan Qian also smiled at her.

Shao Yizhao saw all this in his eyes, he picked up the tea bowl and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and took a sip. I thought in my heart, how could Yuan Qian recruit women everywhere.

"Mei Lin, put down the tea, let's go out, I'll talk to Young Master Pei about something." The village chief spoke. Merlin said crisply.

Shao Yizhao put down the tea bowl, suddenly slapped his thigh, and stood up, "Hey...... What I said just now reminded me that my uncle's mountain is far away, and far water can't quench his thirst...... But this is close, Chen Shunong of the 29th Division is stationed in Hechuan. Dozens of nearby counties such as Fuling, Hechuan, and Yibin are his sphere of influence, and we can try it with him. ”

"Chen Shunong, I don't know much about him." The village chief made a difficulty.

"I did have a relationship with this person, but I don't know if he remembers, he looks quite right."

If you want to gain a foothold here in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with each other often, so in the end, Yuan Qian decided to go with Shao Yizhao to meet the commander of the 29th Division without the slightest hesitation.

In order to show sincerity, Yuan Qian deliberately handed a visit post to Chen Shunong, but he didn't expect him to reply to the post soon and make an appointment to meet.

Before coming, Shao Yizhao investigated Chen Shunong to the bottom, this person is okay, but because he has not been reused by Liu Xiang, he has been sent to this place where birds don't. This person is also somewhat unwilling.

Chen Shunong's place was quite quiet, and the two of them were led by the servants through the corridor to the main hall. At this time, Chen Shunong was painting in the study, and the two people were also brought into the study.

Chen Shunong raised his head and glanced at Yuan Qian, which was a little different from the newspaper, the real person was thinner and more handsome. He put down his pen and greeted him.

Yuan Qian took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Senior Chen....." Chen Shunong also stretched out his hand and shook Yuan Qian back, "Second Young Master Pei." "That's a hello.

Shao Yizhao, who was standing behind Yuan Qian, was somewhat impressed, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and he introduced himself as "Shao Yizhao." Only then did he realize it and shouted, "Young Master Yizhao." ”

Shao Yizhao came with him, which surprised him somewhat.

Shao Yizhao was also afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained, "Senior Chen, I just came with Yuan Qian, and my uncle didn't know that I came here." ”

Chen Shunong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shao Yizhao did not rush to sit, but stood up and paced, and skimmed the painting on the desk at a glance. "Master Chen, is this okay?"

"Ah...... I have nothing to do, I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm a little rusty. ”

"This ...... Yuan Qian is an expert. ”

"Really?" Chen Shunong's eyes lit up.

"Just a little bit of it."

"The second young master is versatile, when you don't have to be so modest, I have wanted to know you for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity. If you hadn't handed over the post, I wouldn't have known you were in Fuling. ”

"To tell you the truth, I did encounter a little trouble in Fuling this time, so I came to your house to disturb you."

"Master Chen, so to speak, Yuan Qian came to Fuling to make a contribution, although he has encountered some difficulties at the moment, but I believe that with his vision, Fuling will definitely be built more beautifully."

"Wait......" Chen Shunong was confused by Shao Yizhao, "I heard you mean that Young Master Pei is now developing industry in Fuling?" ”

"So to speak."

"So I don't know how I can help?"

Shao Yizhao was "hahaha......" happy, "I didn't expect that Master Chen is such a refreshing person, and it is not a big deal for you to move your fingers." ”

"I don't know what's going on?"

"Master Chen, one of my brothers was captured by mountain bandits and taken hostage. Now the bandits are waiting for us to ransom people......"

Chen Shunong interrupted Yuan Qian, "So Young Master Pei means that I want to send troops to save people?" ”

"That's right." Shao Yizhao patted him on the shoulder.

"This ...... This"

"What? Having a hard time? Shao Yizhao frowned.

"That's true..... Liu Shuai ordered our Hunan army not to violate the river water against the mountain bandits and thieves...... So without his consent, I can't send troops easily. ”

"Isn't it...... Master Chen, to tell you the truth, I have already investigated you before I came, and everyone says that you are a good person, but how can I listen to your words, it is a bit of a compliment. Liu Xiang, he can tolerate mountain bandits, I can't look down on him for this alone, even if he is my uncle, I dare to scold him like this to my face. It's no wonder that the fart who was beaten by the Chu Department at the beginning is now guarding this projectile land and bowing down to people, and he is unwilling, but he also has to hold back his ......"

"Today, Yuan Qian and I are here, not for anything else, but because of you, Chen Shunong. The reason why I don't give up on Pei Yuanqian is not because we have sympathy for each other, nor do we want to climb the relationship between the Chu family, I just handed him over because he is Pei Yuanqian, but Pei Yuanqian. ”

Shao Yizhao became emotional, anyway, he said everything, then he said something from his heart, "To tell the truth, Yuan Qian has been in Fuling for more than a few months, and I won't say what he has experienced, you should also know." is such a miserable life, he also helped the villagers of Beipei Village to get water, and led the mountain spring water to the village, which saved a lot of things, you must know that it used to take several miles of mountains to get a bucket of water. Nowadays, a few steps away...... He didn't ask the villagers for a penny. Recently, there is a school, you can go and ask, where do the children of poor families in the nearby villages go to school? These people all ran to Beipei, and his home went to listen to his lectures. ”

For the sake of the people here, he decided to build a school to benefit several nearby counties, but he was fucked by a few bandits.

Chen Shunong didn't know anything about these things, in fact, how could he not hate these mountain bandits and thieves, but there was an order from above, he could only turn a blind eye, and the current situation here, he also wanted to make changes, but he always couldn't implement it. There is no way, in order to survive, he can only go with the flow.

Now, after listening to Shao Yizhao's words, he was all moved. He admires and respects Yuan Qian.

Chen Shunong also stood up, pacing back and forth, he felt that he would not have the face to meet Yuan Qian if he didn't do something, so in the end he made up his mind, "This time, even if it is against the order, I will help you once." Not for anything else, just because of what you did for the people of Fuling. ”

"Then I thank you for those people, Master Chen."

"I'm not much older than you, so call me big brother......"

"Okay, Brother Chen......" Yuan Qian also called out happily.
