    ?

    Le Jing soon received a reply letter from Zheng Yiliang, Zheng Yiliang readily agreed to his invitation, and told him in the letter that he would bring a friend to the appointment on Sunday.  Zheng Yiliang's friend must also be a cultural person, but I don't know if this person has left his name in history.  Le Jing didn't pay too much attention to this "friend". At this time, he didn't know how much surprise this friend would bring him (scare).

    Since everyone has invited people to the house for dinner, then Mrs. Zhou's three-legged cat skills are not enough.  Le Jing had thought about finding a cook before, but he didn't implement it because he didn't like having too many people in the family. Now it seems that he needs to find a cook as soon as possible.

    The candidate for the new cook was quickly determined, and she was the daughter of a down-and-out banner family living nearby.  Bannermen like Lejing's landlord Qian Duofu who still have their ancestral property to pawn are considered lucky. There are a lot of bannermen who can't afford to eat in Peking.

    ? Back in the Qing Dynasty, some desolate banner people could serve as soldiers to study, or go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a coat slave, and they did not pay taxes for farming. I don¡¯t know how many Han people envied them as hard-core crops that guaranteed harvests during droughts and floods.  It's a pity that after the Qing Dynasty disappeared, this group of parasites suffered.

    Except for a small number of smart people among the banner people, the rest were raised and abandoned by the Qing government, and there is no emperor to support them now, so some poor banner people live no better than those poor Han people who want to sell their sons and daughters  How much better.  The so-called feng shui turns.

    The girl Lejing invited to be the cook this time has a well-known surname¡ª¡ªUlanala family name, which is one of the eight major surnames of the Manchu nationality and is also a legendary descendant.  It's a pity that this Ulanara girl's family is so poor that there is only one surname left.  Her father is a big smoker who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles. Once he gambled and sent her and her mother to the casino. In the end, her uncle sold the ancestral antiques and redeemed her mother from the brothel.  Come.  From then on, the girl hated her father.

    But this girl is so smart that she didn't cry or make trouble after she went back, and she respected her father even more than before. Then one day, his father "accidentally" fell into the water tank and drowned after drinking too much. This girl  I almost fainted from crying, and the neighbors in the neighborhood praised the girl for her filial piety.  So this "filial" girl became a good girl who was well-known in the neighborhood.  So this time Le Jing told the landlord that he wanted to find a cook, and Qian Duofu recommended this "filial" good girl to Le Jing.

    Le Jing specially met this girl for this purpose. This girl is called Chun Yan, she is about sixteen or seventeen years old, she is just a high school student in modern times, she is already an old girl in this era, her appearance is not outstanding, but those eyes let Le Jing  Very satisfied, he is a wolf cub who refuses to accept his fate.  Le Jing has always been willing to help such a smart person who doesn't accept his fate, so he immediately made a decision to recruit her as a cook.

    And Chunyan did not disappoint Le Jing's trust in her. She cooked a good dish, among which the braised pork was so fat but not greasy, it melted in the mouth, even Le Jing who had a light diet couldn't resist eating a few more  It is said that this recipe is her mother's dowry, which can be said to be a family tradition.

    So on Sunday morning, Le Jing got up early, put on a new gown, handed tomorrow's manuscript to Zhou's eldest son, and asked him to hand it over to the editor Wang of the "Peking Fiction Newspaper", and then went straight into the study,  While writing the article, I waited for Zheng Yiliang's visit

    Zheng Yiliang and his friend Zhou Dezhang got off the rickshaw, looked at the ordinary-looking courtyard opposite, and said to his friend: "This should be here. I'll knock on the door."

    Zhou Dezhang nodded absent-mindedly. He couldn't help but be immersed in the letter he had just received. In the letter, his friend told him that opium was planted on the large fertile fields in Sichuan

    After a few clear knocks on the door, a middle-aged man's face appeared from inside. Judging from his clothes, he should be a concierge, "Who are you?"

    Zheng Yiliang restrained his bad temper, and put on an elegant appearance of a scholar: "I'm under Zheng Yiliang, and I brought my friends to visit your husband upon invitation."

    "Please come in quickly! My master has been waiting for the gentlemen."

    As soon as Zheng Yiliang and his wife walked into the yard, they saw a young man in white clothes walking through the corridor, walking towards them with a smile on his face.  Disrespect, disrespect."

    Zheng Yiliang and the two fell into a momentary aphasia because of the unexpected youth of the night watchman, and Le Jing was also stunned in his heart.

    Who would have thought that Mr. Zheng Yiliang's friend was referring to Mr. Zhou Dezhang?  As the current principal of Kaiming Middle School, Mr. Zhou Dezhang's photo is still posted on the bulletin board at the school gate. Le Jing can see his face every day when he goes to and from get off work, and he is very familiar with that face.  In name, it seems that Mr. Zhou Dezhang is visiting with friends, but judging from the current identities of Le Jing and Li Shuran, they areIt is written in this way, readers understand it naturally, and those who don't understand will think that Xu Wangmu is patriotic, brave and resourceful, and it's okay for him to be emperor, and he won't poke some people's sensitive points too much.

    Zhou Dezhang, who has been silent since he talked about this topic, sighed when he heard the words, with bitterness in his eyes, "We can understand these things, but few people in the authorities can understand them!"

    His chest was heaving up and down, these words had been held in his heart for too long, and at this moment he couldn't help feeling happy: "Do you know what is planted in the fertile fields in more than a dozen major grain-producing provinces such as Henan, Shaanxi, Northeast, and Sichuan?  It¡¯s opium! Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land are planted with opium! Why do people prefer to buy food instead of planting land? Because farming does not make money, and opium can be smoked by oneself or sold for money! The government and warlords still  Encourage the people to plant opium, why not encourage it? The opium tax is so high! The empress dowager of the former Qing Dynasty was so extravagant, didn¡¯t she rely on the opium tax to fill military expenses and build cannons and ships?¡±

    He stood up and smiled bitterly: "Nowadays in the new society, opium has finally changed from the royal family's purse to the government and warlord's purse. I heard that some warlords use opium instead of military pay. Isn't this a good deal?"  He clasped his chest with red eyes and growled in a tearing voice: "I'm afraid that one day the weather will not be beautiful, but if it lasts a year" He closed his eyes, slumped down on the chair with a pale face, and said softly:  "Hungry people will turn into wolves and tear this country to pieces."
