    "Moo¡ª¡ª" The long cow cry sounded under the whip of the owner.

    "This is it." Xu Wei, led by Zhang Xiguo, walked into a small factory making white grains in Qijiang County.  It is more like a family workshop than a small factory.  The juice of the sugar cane is squeezed out by oxen and then distilled.  There is a small pile of washed sugar cane on the ground.

    After seeing the sugar workshop, Xu Wei went to the county primary school.  It is said to be an elementary school, but actually it is more appropriate to say it is a private school. It was something that existed in the early Qing Dynasty. Later, when a new school emerged, the private school was renamed an elementary school. However, the name was not changed, but the name was changed. I heard a sound from a distance.  The sound of reading was heard.

    "The private school was occupied by the Guizhou army for a while, and the things inside were damaged a lot. We haven't had time to repair it yet." Sun Jianyang rushed back to Jiangjin to manage the government. Zhang Xiguo accompanied Xu Wei to many places these days.

    Where do officials come from if they don¡¯t have scholars?  This was the thought of almost all the gentry and common people in the Republic of China at this time.  Many children from poor families have no choice but to send them to private schools.  However, some people tighten their belts and want their children to study in order to have a bright future.  Although the slogan of new learning has been chanting for several years, the trend of new learning has still not spread to Qi*jiang.  Private schools in the county still follow the previous teaching methods.  With the shortage of new teachers, Xu Wei has no way to conjure up a teacher now.

    Xu Wei, who was dressed in military uniform, and County Magistrate Zhang Xiguo appeared at the private school, and the teacher Luo Zhongyi hurriedly greeted him. The seven or eight-year-old children looked at Ji Wei with a curious and fearful expression.  There used to be some people in military uniforms who occupied the place where they studied.

    It was already on the verge of winter, and there were some dark private schools where the icy wind was blowing. Many children aged seven or eight had their fingers as frozen as carrots. Although they were wearing shabby cotton jackets, many of them still had some blue on their faces.  , Teeth chattering, a pair of small hands rubbing from time to time.  Those who were in better condition at home brought a small tin tube with some charcoal in it, some of which were still red, and some of which had already burned out.

    Looking at the shabby pens, inks, papers and inkstones again, Xu Wei sighed inwardly. Without seeing it with his own eyes, it was really hard to understand how poor schools in this era were.  A war is more dangerous than a tiger.

    "I will donate 100 yuan to buy a stove for the private school. The coal in Lao Shilipu has been dug up, and I will supply some to the private school every month. For the specific amount, County Magistrate Zhang can draw up a standard and buy some more.  Paper, we can¡¯t always let these dolls write on clay tablets.¡± Xu Weidao.

    "Tuan Zuo is really kind-hearted. The fact that Tuan Zuo can come to Qi*jiang and Jiangjin is the pride of the people in these two counties." Zhang Xiguo was also touched in his heart and said with deep feeling. Observing what Xu Wei has done these days, Zhang Xiguo also  It was finally clear that Xu Wei really wanted to do something.

    "You, you are Xu, Captain Xu!" Luo Zhongyi's dry mouth trembled slightly, and he bowed deeply to Xu Wei, "I would like to thank Captain Xu for his generosity on behalf of these students!"

    "No need, I didn't do anything." Xu Wei waved his hand and had no interest in reading any more, "After the students were born in the Republic of China, the current situation of students is so difficult. The future of the Republic of China is really worrying"

    After saying that, Xu Wei had already left the private school with Zhang Xiguo.  Luo Zhongyi watched Xu Wei walk away for a long time, and the corners of his eyes were inexplicably moist. Students are the future of the Republic of China. He hadn't heard such remarks for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come from a young officer in his early twenties.  Spit it out.  Perhaps with the arrival of this young leader, Qi*jiang will become different from before.

    A coal mine was discovered in Lao Shilipu. Xu Wei only sent troops to station in that area in the name of suppressing bandits. In fact, they mainly focused on training.  As announcements from the government were received from Qi*jiang and Jiangjin, as well as notices from the towns below, some farmers who had little food stored at home rushed to several farms, causing the slow progress of farm reclamation to suddenly speed up several times.  , according to the current progress, it is faster than Xu Wei expected.

    "Regiment leader, a telegram has arrived from Shanghai." Xu Shaozeng rushed to Xu Wei's regiment headquarters with a telegram.  Although the telegram is more expensive, it is fast. Otherwise, if you write a letter, you don't know how long it will take to receive a reply from the other side.  Sending the telegram was also a bit troublesome, and Zhao Likang had to have someone in Chongqing help deliver it.  At this time, there were no telegraph machines in Qi*jiang and Jiangjin counties.

    "What did Jiang Yong say over there?" Xu Weidao.

    "Jiang Yong asked the group to send a few more good people there. They need good people to expand the territory there, especially now that they have started to engage in the tobacco business, and no one can keep the scene going. For the time being, the three religions and nine figures in Shanghai can only fight with the backbone.  We still have to rely on our own people." Xu Shaozeng said.

    "Well, then send another class over. You will be personally responsible for this matter. You must choose the old man, otherwise the matter will go out and it will not sound good after all." Xu Weidao.

      "Don't worry, members of the group, you will save yourself the trouble of taking a humble position." Xu Shaozeng nodded.

    "The matter of army expansion has been delayed again and again, but if we don't train the troops earlier, I won't feel at ease." Xu Wei touched his chin, "You said, I asked Huang Chujiu and Zeng Jincheng to borrow tens of thousands of dollars, and they  Will you agree?"

    "There should be no problem with Zeng Jincheng. It's hard to tell about Huang Chujiu. After all, he has known the group leader for a short time." Xu Shaozeng was not sure about this matter, but since Xu Wei asked, he just said it casually.

    "No matter what, I have to put my face on it and we have to organize it into a mess." Xu Wei said. In order to save some rations for the hungry people, Xu Wei delayed the expansion of the army, but during this period he built many military camps and dormitories.  , and other supporting facilities.  In addition, the new recruits must be trained thoroughly before they can become an army. The turbulent era will soon come, and Xu Wei also has a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

    At that moment, Xu Wei sent a telegram to Zeng Jincheng, Huang Chujiu, and even Chen Shichang to borrow money.

    "The members of the group really dare to ask. Each person borrows 50,000, which adds up to 150,000." Xu Shaozeng said with a smile, "With this money, it is more than enough to form a mixed group."

    "I can't help it." Xu Wei smiled bitterly, "I can just repay their favor later. It will be the 29th birthday of the guardian in five days. I will go to Chongqing for a few days, and this place will be handed over to Fu Guo.  "

    "Guo Qun's abilities are very good. The work on the farm is going on in an orderly manner. News from the coal mine is also blocked. Without the team members, there can be no trouble."
