    "Oh, ears, ears, don't pull them, or they will fall off. [Super good] Interview:. Grandpa, I am your grandson!" Zuer was bossing around among a group of teenagers, but when he met his own grandfather, he was like  The mouse met the cat.  He didn't even dare to struggle hard, so he could only follow the old man to the door of the carriage while shouting.  The teenagers were startled, and then they realized that the carriage had stopped at some point.  Looking out through the open carriage door, I found a four-wheeled carriage with a very simple decoration, but the frame and wheels were made of fine steel. It was parked on the right side of the road, opposite the door of the public carriage.  location.  Chang Xiaoer, who had previously promised to take everyone to join the army, was pushed directly into the four-wheeled carriage by the old man who suddenly came out.  Immediately, the old man jumped onto the shaft, shook the reins twice, and drove the four-wheeled carriage at a high speed with a skill that was not consistent with his age.  "My second brother's family is certainly not ordinary!" Immediately, a young man muttered in a low voice in the carriage of the public carriage.  "Isn't that true? In order to prevent him from joining the army, his grandfather actually drove a carriage to intercept him!" Other teenagers echoed with envy on their faces.  Four-wheeled carriages are very rare in Jiangnan. Even in Huaiyang, they are considered a luxury item that has only slowly emerged in the past few years.  Not to mention the draft horses that pull the carts, they are all tall-framed horses from Liaodong. They are often fourteen or fifteen in length in places south of the Yellow River.  It's the 'fine' steel frame and wheels that you can't buy without seven or eight dollars, and they're often priced out of stock. You need to book them with a car dealer several months in advance to get them.  Therefore, a four-wheeled carriage drawn by a single horse or a double horse is usually the standard vehicle for senior officials of the Huaiyang General Administration or senior stewards of Huaiyang companies.  Ordinary people can rarely afford one, and even wealthy families are usually reluctant to run around on the streets all day after buying a carriage.  It's just a hidden beauty in the golden house, and will only be used to show off on very important occasions.  However, the teenagers soon discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with their judgment.  Before the public carriage could start again, outside the glass window, at least three or four four-wheel carriages with similar specifications to the one Chang Xiaoer was riding in were speeding past.  Behind each carriage, there is a square iron sign nailed.  The sign is painted with blue paint with a Chinese character, a Latin character and a string of big food numbers, Yang b952.  "Is it a taxi? I ??heard from the elders in my family that taxis have recently emerged here. You can get on by waving a wave from the roadside. But the price of a ride is quite expensive!!" Someone had a sharp mind and quickly thought of a new term.  Read the full text of the latest chapter "It must be, didn't you notice just now, there is a yellow triangle on the roof of every carriage?!" "Isn't it? If it's really a wealthy family, you should send a servant here  "Why didn't I ask him where he lived?" "Why didn't he come in person?" "It's just you."  If you go to the martial arts hall, why would you go to Jiqing to work as a waiter?" "" The young people suddenly realized and responded in a confused manner.  The eyes outside were a little less envious and a little more calm.  They no longer expect Chang Xiaoer to come back and find a way out for everyone.  In fact, Chang Xiaoer is indeed unable to help everyone.  Moreover, even his dream of becoming a soldier was strangled to death in the carriage by Chang Laosi who was driving the train.  "You little bastard, when you serve as a soldier, why don't you show off your own coward? With your body, you will be stabbed to death on the first day on the battlefield! Only your grandfather and I lived the same life.  After a few good days, you have the heart to let my white-haired man give you a black-haired man? You little bastard, stop your idea as soon as possible, otherwise, when you go out with your front foot, I will throw the stone into the Yangtze River!"  Chang Laosi has not seen his grandson for half a year. If Chang Laosi said that he didn't think about it, that would be an absolute lie.  But no matter how much he loves the junior in his heart, he must first establish his authority today.  Otherwise, once his grandson is really determined to join the army, as Mr. Liu, the top man of Hanyuan Company's Jiqing branch, came to report in advance.  The old man may not be able to sleep peacefully every night from now on.  "Grandpa, grandpa, don't be angry! Don't I have to go home and discuss it with you and my dad before signing up? Really, do I really plan to discuss it with you? Otherwise, otherwise I will  When I got off the boat just now, I didn't take the public carriage. Instead, I spent money to rent a car and went straight to the Bingke Yamen!" Chang Xiaoer's mind has become much more mature than before after half a year of training outside!  some.  Knowing not to make the old man angry, he opened the front window of the carriage from the inside and stuck half of his head out to explain.  ¡°Close the window, are you looking for death?!¡± Chang Lao scolded loudly without even looking back.  Then, he quickly added: "Don't discuss it, I won't agree! Your father has to listen to me. Otherwise, I will go to the Yamen to tell you."You two are disobedient and unfilial.  The army dares to accept your unfilial grandson!  " Chang Xiaoer heard this and quickly begged for mercy loudly, "Don't, don't, Grandpa.  If you really file a lawsuit, won't my father's job be ruined?  The third-level craftsman he finally got through, are you really ruining his job and asking him and my mother to drink from the northwest wind from now on?  " " Just drink, it's better than being scared to death by you!  Chang Laosi refused to let go at all and shook the reins of the driver. "How could it be?"  I'm just going to sign up, but I may not be selected.  Even if you are selected, you will start as an auxiliary soldier and go through several rounds of elimination before you are eligible to share the fifteen acres of land!  Chang Xiaoer knew that his grandfather was angry, so he explained slowly in a very soothing tone. "You know nothing!"  In the past, recruitment was strictly controlled because there was no war.  The Northern Expedition is about to begin, who can care so carefully?  As long as you sign up, you will be hired immediately and sent directly to the battlefield.  " "Who did you listen to? Isn't this a lie?  " "What nonsense?  Haven't you seen that even the students who are studying have been recruited to serve as civil servants in the Grand Controller's Mansion?  There is such a shortage even for officials, let alone soldiers?  " "Hiss!" Chang Xiaoer heard this and immediately gnashed his teeth and sucked in the cold air. The recent recruitment of civil servants by the General Manager's Office really gave people a feeling of being hungry. And even the reserve officials were no longer interested.  The requirements were so strict, and it was reasonable to say that ordinary soldiers would be more relaxed. However, he was not willing to let his grandfather delay his chance to get ahead. He held his chin and rolled his eyes.  He said, "Grandpa, why did you drive the carriage?"  This car must be in his early twenties, I'm afraid!  Did my brother buy it for you with the money?  How hard it is for you to be exposed to wind and sun every day!  How about sitting at home and enjoying the happiness?  !  " "I was born to be a hard worker. I feel uncomfortable if I don't work for a day!  "Listening to the second grandson mentioning the most promising eldest grandson in the family, Chang Fugui, Chang Laosi's mouth was still stiff, but a proud smile quietly appeared on his face. "Your brother bought it for me, but it didn't cost twenty  You only spent two dollars in total including the carriage and the horse. You can borrow the rest from the car dealer and pay it back slowly as you make money?  " "Credit?  Is there such a good thing?  The interest rate won't be too high, right?  Please don't be fooled?  "Chang Xiaoer was slightly startled when he heard this, and his eyes immediately flashed with excitement. There is a big difference between twenty guans and two guans. You know, Huaiyang is pretty good at the moment.  That's first-class hard currency. Even in the suburbs of Yangzhou City, five guans can buy an acre of high-quality paddy fields. If you go to Jiangnan, the Huaiyang meat is the best in Jiqing Taiping.  One acre of land, including the land and the bones. Eighteen acres of money is equivalent to eighteen acres of land. A fool would not keep it for himself and lend it to others for free. (Note 1) "You have been fooled, don't you take a look, Chief Manager.  Who dares to lay traps on others casually?  Isn't that seeking death?  Chang Laosi curled his lips, and the expression on his face became more and more proud, "Besides, your brother has been promoted to assistant manager, and is the deputy manager of the main office."  Although the Hanyuan branch is not under the name of the general manager, there are also shares of Huaiyang Company in it.  How could the Huaishang Automobile Dealership, which was also owned by Huaiyang Company, fall for one of its own people?  "    "oh!  "Hearing what the old man said, Chang Xiaoer felt somewhat at ease. Then he frowned again and pretended to be very philistine and asked, "What's the interest rate?  My brother is the same. Why didn't he buy it directly? Credit is always bad. You have to pay interest after making money. I feel so uneasy!  "Twenty guan. Do you think your brother's money was blown by the strong wind?"  Chang Laosi's thoughts were indeed not what his grandson expected. He shook his head and retorted with a smile. "I didn't let him pay the full price."  Why pay full price if you can get it on credit?  These days, it¡¯s the uncle who owes money.  Moreover, the profit is only 2 cents, and it is not enough to repay a few thousand yuan in a year.  And now the taxi business is good, and your grandfather and I can make hundreds of cents every day.  It won¡¯t take a year to pay off the debt!  " "It's only two cents. Then Huaishang Car Shop, why don't you hire someone to drive the car yourself and give away the bargain for nothing? Is it really weird?  !  "Partly to distract his grandfather, and partly out of genuine curiosity, Chang Xiaoer tilted his head and inquired. "I heard from your brother that the iron factory in Ma'anshan in the south of the Yangtze River has officially started construction.  More than ten furnaces of molten iron can be produced every day.  He also said that he used an open-hearth furnace that could directly produce steel from molten iron.  "Chang Laosi smiled again and revealed with joy. "So the steel here in Yangzhou will not be used up soon.  The general manager was very good at doing business, so he simply asked the business to use the interest to subsidize the people to buy carriages.  Well, not just hackney carriages.  It is estimated that private carriages will be available for sale after the new year, so there is no need to spend money and wait in line for several months!  If you want to live up to your expectations, stop thinking about becoming a soldier.  Grandpa, I will go out of my way to buy you one on credit. Anyway, I can pay it back slowly.  Let you feel comfortable every day when you go outDriving a car, how majestic is it?  Within a few days, a big girl sent a matchmaker and took the initiative to come to the door and offer some advice!  " There is an eldest grandson in the family who can support the family. He has heard some "secrets" about the Huaiyang General Manager's Office and Huaiyang Company. Therefore, he is considered a well-informed person among the neighbors. He has always liked it.  After showing off a few times, today in front of my grandson, he knew everything and said everything. Unexpectedly, his grandson thought completely differently from his grandfather and automatically ignored the carriage he bought for him.  He promised, muttering in a low voice, "With so much steel, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of armors and weapons?  No wonder people say that this time the General Manager's Northern Expedition will definitely lead a direct attack on Huanglong.  There is so much steel, the pile has even covered the entire metropolitan area!  ¡± Note 1: Tianpi and Tiangu are equivalent to the current use rights and property rights.
