    Previous Chapter: Chapter 29 Foundation (Next) Next Chapter: Chapter 31 Changes (Part 1) The reason why the Huaiyang General Manager's Mansion is the most powerful in the world is simply because of its strong armor and powerful artillery.  <strong>Read the full text of the latest chapter hua</strong>-79xs-This is a "fact" that has been seen through by the "wild sages" a long time ago!  It was just that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was slow to respond, refused to accept the suggestions of the sages, and worked hard to catch up, so that the Huaiyang Grand Manager's Office "succeeded all over the world with one trick"!  However, in recent months, when those "young and old" people talk about the four words "armor, gun and gun", the movements of the corners of their mouths have obviously changed from downward to upward.  The eyes he looked at the yamen at all levels of the General Manager's Mansion were completely different from before.  Chang Xiaosi has a wide circle of friends and is generous with his money. Even though he was sent to Jiangnan by his family to practice, he always exchanged drinks with such "legends".  Therefore, influenced by the surrounding public opinion, I have long since determined that "strong weapons and strong artillery" are Huaiyang's biggest reliance.  Whether making plate armor or making gun carriages, they cannot do without high-quality 'fine' steel.  At this moment, I heard that Huaiyang has so much steel that it can't be used up, and even wants to pay interest to "tempt" people to buy carriages. How can we not be more optimistic about the prospects of the Grand Manager's Mansion?  For a moment, he actually forgot his purpose of changing the subject.  The subject of the Northern Expedition was mentioned again.  Chang Laosi was so angry that his vision went dark. He picked up the riding whip from the shaft of the carriage and turned around and whipped it, "Fart! Use a pile of steel. Can you pile up Dadu City with a pile of steel? Damn, who put that fart?"  Bullshit? One general will make all the bones dry." Do you understand?  You've done business, but you can't even do the simplest accounting?  Since ancient times, in wars, even if you win, you will still kill three thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself?  Can you guarantee that you won¡¯t be there every time?  !  Snap¡ªpop¡ª!  " Separated by the wooden carriage and the glass window, the riding whip couldn't hurt Chang Xiao at all. But it still frightened the latter so much that he put his head in his hands and hid in the rear carriage with his butt stuck out, "Grandpa, grandpa, don't be angry.  !  I, didn¡¯t I say good things about the Grand Steward¡¯s Office?  Look at you, I was ignorant and chewed the roots of Da Zongfu's tongue blindly, and you old man was angry with me.  Now, my grandson, I have completely changed my ways and am devoted to promoting the merits of the General Manager's Office. You old man, why are you still not done with me?  " "Shit!  Chang Laosi was so angry that his eyes were red, his arms and legs were trembling, "Little bastard, I don't know you yet?"  I've been wiping your poop since you were little.  As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you want to do!  When did you really have an insight?  It¡¯s not just following other people¡¯s butts and chewing sugarcane bagasse!  When those people said bad things about the Grand Steward's Mansion, you just followed the parrot and didn't know what other people's grandpas were doing back then, and what your grandpa was doing back then!  Now that others have noticed that the wind direction has changed and want to fish in troubled waters, you will follow them and copy the net again!  Do you know that whenever there is a change of dynasty, the quickest people to die are the unscrupulous ones like you?  Just listen to other people's lies, and as a result, other people go to the city to be rewarded as heroes for their meritorious services. All of you will die under the city wall!  " Thinking that his grandson had made no progress after being away for more than half a year, the old man couldn't help but feel sad again. He whipped two whips in the carriage and cried loudly, "I have no moral character. I, Chang Laosi, lack great virtue.  .  It took a lot of effort to live a peaceful life for a few days, but it happened to raise a heartless grandson.  It seems that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person away." "Okay!  Chang Xiaoer couldn't stand his grandfather crying on the street. He was so angry that he opened the car window, stuck out half of his head and shouted, "If you want to deal with me, you go back and deal with it. It's just two steps. Why bother to cause trouble to everyone?"  Everyone knows?  I'm young, my face is worthless, but you still have a grandson.  That's the newly promoted company manager!  "This trick is indeed effective. When Chang Laosi heard the mention of his eldest grandson's face, Chang Laosi immediately felt as if he was being strangled by the neck, "Uh¡ª¡ª!  "With a sound, the crying stopped abruptly. "His eldest grandson is the most promising young man in the whole neighborhood. Most of the respect the old neighbors have for the Chang family is mostly because his eldest grandson earns more.  He has a wide network of contacts and is stable in speaking and doing. [To read the latest chapter of this book, please go to hua] And if his crying caused a misunderstanding and delayed the future of his eldest grandson, Chang Laosi would be struck to death by lightning.  I am too embarrassed to see my wife who has passed away for many years. ¡°I am not stubborn with you either.  You always treat me like a child and never care about my thoughts and feelings.  Chang Xiaoer succeeded in his move and said, "Let's go home and tell my brother about this."  If he still goes along with your wishes, I will take the boat back to Jiqing tomorrow morning without saying a word.  If he also thinks that serving as a soldier and eating food is an opportunity for me, don't stop him.  To be honest, I have my own legs. When recruiting soldiers at the military branch office, I didn¡¯t ask for the nod from the elders in the family.  I'll be able to register my name with a little bit of trouble. You can stop the first grader, but you can also stop the fifteenth grader?  !  ¡± These words are not confusing at all. Your MajestyThe fourth child couldn't find an excuse to refute for a long time.  He was determined to use his identity as someone's grandfather to force him, but he was really a little afraid that the little bastard in the carriage would sneak away and sign up to be a soldier.  If he was hired, Chang Laosi would be brave enough, but he didn't have the courage to go to the Bingke Yamen in Yangzhou Prefecture to make a fool of himself.  Thinking of this, he had no choice but to worry.  Sniffling, he whispered: "It doesn't matter, I have no choice but to grow up. Now that you are older and have stronger wings, of course you won't turn a deaf ear to my old man's words. But your brother is more knowledgeable than you, and he hasn't done anything in these years.  You should pay less for it. You should listen to what he says!" "That's it. Let's go home happily and wait for my brother to come back!" Chang Xiaoer was afraid that his grandfather would regret it.  Immediately hit the ground running.  ¡°Alas¡ª¡ª!¡± Chang Laosi responded with a long sigh.  The grandfather and grandson stopped arguing and speeded up their journey without making a sound.  After a while, he returned to his home.  To their surprise, Chang Fugui, the mainstay of the family, had finished work early today and was reading hard in the main room with a thick book in his arms.  Hearing the sound of wheels in the yard, he folded the book and put it down first, and then came out with a smile, "Grandpa, why did you come back so early today? Is your business not going well? I tell you, you always do it in the cold weather  Don't get out of the car, anyway, our family is not short of a few bucks of money now!" "How can I do it? I'm not too old to move!" Chang Laosi immediately felt ten times better when he saw his eldest grandson.  While jumping down from the shaft of the car, he responded loudly, "Besides, by driving the car out for a few laps, I can also stretch my muscles, bones and blood vessels. It's better than being bored at home all day!" After that, he pulled the arm.  The reins of the horse were handed over to his eldest grandson, and he went to pull the door of the carriage, "Come down, are you home? Little bastard, do you still want me to hold you?!" "It's not that I don't know.  How do you open the car door?" Chang Xiaoer responded in a low voice and jumped out of the car.  Then he smiled and saluted his eldest brother, "Brother, why are you free today? I thought I wouldn't see you until evening!" "I had something to do, so I got off early." Chang Fugui smiled and said,  With a rare calmness on his face, he said, "What about you, why didn't you do a good job over there in Jiqing and ran back by yourself? No one bullies you, right over there? If someone bullies you, don't tolerate it. Follow me.  Say, I'll help you!" "No, no one in Jiqing Semicolon knows that I am your brother, let alone bullying, even the shopkeeper is polite to me!" Chang Xiaoer said carelessly.  He waved his arms and responded with some pride.  Chang Fugui¡¯s real intention is to warn his younger brother not to act like a fox or a tiger.  So he quickly took over the conversation and warned with a smile, "Then don't go too far. You have to take the leave you need and put in the effort you need. It's better to let your hands and eyes get tired than to let your body be idle. No.  Don't keep thinking about going back to Yangzhou. When I was your age, I was working as an apprentice in a shop" "No way, no way. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. There is no physical work in the company.  , welcome me with a smile, and you won¡¯t let me run away from the battle!" Chang Xiaoer was anxious to find supporters for his family, so he changed his past troubles and responded according to his brother's words.  "That's good. I'll find someone to talk to Shopkeeper Hu tomorrow. Let's see if I can make you an apprentice as a waiter as soon as possible. You're not young anymore, so you must have some profitable business on hand!" Chang Fugui didn't know that his younger brother was  He became reasonable when seeking talents, and thought that Chang Xiaoer had developed his skills after going out to practice for half a year.  While unloading the draft horse from the shaft, he promised with a smile.  "No, no, just follow the rules. Otherwise, even if I become an apprentice in advance, the shopkeeper and the big boys won't really take me seriously!" How could Chang Xiaoer be willing to work as a boy in a store again?  A waste of time?  He quickly ran over and helped his brother wait for the animals to enter the pen, feed them, add water, and replenish them intermittently.  Seeing the younger brothers and friends Gong, Chang Lao Lao was comfortable.  In my heart, I felt a little more confident about dispelling my grandson's wishful thinking.  He smiled and pushed the carriage without the draft horses into the pergola in the yard, and wiped off the soil on the carriage with a wet cloth.  After his two grandchildren returned from the stables, he himself finished the remaining chores.  He waved his arms and called his grandchildren to come in and rest.  In the house, there is a water stove, which has recently become popular in the Huaiyang area.  Although I didn't dare to be too wasteful, I wasted no time on the peat, but it also heated the temperature to the point where I could warm my hands.  First, they took off their outer gown and thick cloth coat, and then brewed a pot of strong tea. The three of them, grandma and grandson, sat around the table, enjoying themselves.  In the blink of an eye, the pot of tea was gone. Chang Laosi cleared his throat and said to his eldest grandson Fugui very confidently: "Well, there is such a thing. Your brother and I can't talk about it today! But!  Both of us feel that you have seen a lot of the world., has a broad vision" He was at least 90% sure that his eldest grandson Chang Fugui would support him, so his words were clear and coherent, and his tone was not slow or slow. Who would have expected that Chang Fugui, who has always been filial and smart, would be unreasonable today.  Suddenly, he also became hysterical. When Chang Laosi finished explaining the whole matter and his own point of view, he immediately stood up and responded loudly, "Of course it's time to go.  It is an opportunity to contribute to the country, why should the second child fall behind others?  If no one becomes a soldier, how can it be possible to drive the Tatars back to Mobei?  !  If they get a chance to breathe and come back in the future, wouldn't it mean that you, your father, your mother, and our family would all be in ruins?  !  Go, tomorrow morning, I will personally send him to sign up to join the army.  It was well said in the newspaper. If most people in the Song Dynasty had not only cared about their own small families, our hometown of Yao and Shun would not have had this smell for more than seventy years!  "    "fart!  Chang Laosi was so angry that he slapped the table hard and jumped up high, "You, what are you talking about?"  Did the wind blow your head today?  Being a soldier, being a soldier, how can one not die in a war?  If he has any shortcomings, I, a gray-haired person, alas, I, Chang Laosi, am lacking in virtue and lack of great virtue¡ª¡ª!  " "If anything happens to him, my father and mother, as well as the General Manager's Office, will take care of you and our family!  You can always see how the General Manager has treated the families of those who died in the war over the years.  It's worth working for him!  "Chang Fugui didn't follow his grandfather's tactics at all. He shook his head and continued to add loudly, "Besides, with his small body, even if he is admitted, he will not be a front-line soldier. At most, he can know a lot.  For the sake of a hundred words, let him be a military propaganda man!  " "Yes, dad, the second child is not naturally a law-abiding person. It's better to let him give it a try."  Fight it out and predict his good fortune.  If he didn't fight it out, as long as the person didn't die, he would be completely relieved!  "Chang Shou came back at some time, opened the door curtain, and spoke loudly for his two sons. Three to one, Chang Laosi, even as a grandfather, suddenly felt short of breath. 'Twitch', 'twitch'  Nose, scolded in a low voice: "Go, go, when he loses his arms and legs, you will know what it means to not listen to the old man."  " "No way, I just have to be clever!  Grandpa, just wait and see!  If I become famous, I will take you to live in a big house and marry a beautiful granddaughter-in-law who will serve you every day!  "Chang Xiaoer didn't expect that his father and brother were on his side. He was overjoyed and immediately started acting coquettishly in a hoarse voice. "Get out!  "Chang Laosi raised his foot and kicked his grandson, but he didn't dare to use too much force. If he hit it, he would get rid of the anger in his heart. He turned around, glanced at his eldest grandson Chang Fugui again, and asked timidly,  "What's the purpose of accompanying the army's propaganda?  Is there really no need to swing the knife?  " Chang Fugui didn't even think about it and gave the answer smoothly, "It's just an errand to write home letters for other soldiers and convey the government orders from above.  Generally, there are three or five in each soldier company.  He is directly subordinate to the standing teacher inside the camp.  They usually have food and accommodation with the military commander. When marching, they are placed in the center of the team, and when fighting, they are placed at the end of the team!  "    "oh¡ª¡ª!  "When Chang Laosi heard this, the grievances and worries in his heart suddenly eased a lot. He wiped his eyes and continued to ask in a low voice, "Then, you guarantee that he can become an army official?  Since when did you meet people in the military?  !  " "I can't guarantee that, he has to take the exam himself!  "Chang Fugui smiled and shook his head slightly. "I passed the exam first, then trained with other auxiliary soldiers during the day, and listened to the instructor's lectures at night.  After the training of other auxiliary soldiers is completed, qualified ones will be converted into combat soldiers.  He had almost finished his studies, took another test, and then followed the soldiers to report to each legion.  " "Then, how could he pass the exam?  "When Chang Laosi heard this, his heart immediately rose to his throat again. Looking at his parents and grandchildren, he said pitifully. "The first test is easy. If you know a thousand common words, you can almost pass the exam.  It was not even as good as the first grade in the county school. The second child was in the second grade at least.  Chang Fugui thought for a while, then smiled and shook his head, "The difficult thing is that you have to listen to classes and study at the same time.  However, if he can't even pass this level, wouldn't it be in line with your wishes?  He was directly dismissed. He could not be used as a soldier or a propaganda officer. Besides going home and marrying a wife, what else could he do?  !  "    "Um?  !  "Chang Laosi finally nodded with relief. He turned to look at his grandson, and suddenly felt hesitant in his heart. I really didn't know whether it was more appropriate to hope that Chang Xiaoer could pass the test, or to be tricked and go home.  Chang Xiaoer had full confidence in himself. Seeing his grandfather's eyes full of doubt, he immediately blushed and swore: "Don't worry, I will pass this time even if I am exhausted.  Otherwise, I will never mention joining the army to you again.  I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will marry whomever you ask me to marry!  " "Then we and I have decided!  "Chang Laosi stretched out his hand and said,Go and high-five your grandson as an oath.  In my memory, my little grandson always worked hard for three days. By the middle of the fourth day, he would crawl home crying and shouting without the need for anyone to persuade him.  On the other hand, my own parents and grandchildren have been persistent and perseverant in doing things since they were young, and their tempers are stubborn enough. If they know something right, even eight buffaloes can't hold them back.  Thinking of his son, the old man suddenly became wary.  Quickly turning his face to Chang Fugui, he asked uneasily: "You haven't answered yet. How do you know the people in the army? How come you are so familiar with things in the army? You, don't, can we explain it clearly?  "Don't think about going crazy with Xiao Erzi!" "I'm not going crazy, but I'm going to fulfill my responsibilities as a man!" Chang Fugui smiled again, his slightly mature face full of the characteristics of a young man.  "I have already signed up at the General Manager's Office. From the day after tomorrow, I will go to the General Logistics Office of the Fourth Army to collect food and grass for the army along the way. I was planning to tell you just now, but before I could say anything,  I encountered something about my younger brother first!" "You, you" Chang Laosi's heart instantly sank into the ice water, and his arms and legs trembled together, "The Grand Manager's Mansion is not, not just,  Only students are recruited? You, you, a big guy in a business, how do you qualify to apply? " "I am not only the assistant manager of Hanyuan Trading Company, but also a member of Huaxia Fuxing Society." Chang Fugui glanced at his grandfather.  , proudly gave the answer.  "Our Huaxia Fuxing Society was established in June this year, and its headquarters is located in the Grand Controller's Mansion. Every brother and sister in the society takes it as their own duty to follow the Grand Controller and revive China. The Northern Expedition is the key to China's rejuvenation. How can our Fuxing Society  Maybe stand by and watch? "
