Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 292

The porcelain house had a very sumptuous dinner today, and the round table in the dining room was the main battlefield for everyone.

Two servants worked together to bring a large copper pot, which was very delicate, with 5 embossed bats on it. The coppersmith in Fengtian called this pot "Five Fortune Pot". I really wanted to eat hot pot, so I bought it, so I was thinking about hot pot on the train home.

Gong Baosen also ate it once when he came here, but because he was a Lu cuisine cook, he couldn't make that kind of spicy taste, so Zhu Chuanwen didn't enjoy his meal. This time, he specially found a Sichuan cuisine cook and prepared the hot pot base.

On the round table, emerald green vegetables, fresh and tender mutton, and Wagyu beef from Xiaoqingshan are already on the table, red and green, really beautiful.

But when it comes to eating this kind of food, it is considered bitter and delicious. Zhu Chuanwen has also tried this. After eating spicy food, he can't tell if there is any change in taste, but his son just doesn't eat it... …

What a picky eater!
No, Xian'er returned to her bedroom early with a light meal, out of sight and out of mind.As for being a mother, it is really hard work. Men work for 10 minutes, women work for 10 months, plus breastfeeding, but it takes more than 2 years. It can only be said that it is not easy to raise a child.

"Mother, where's the mother-in-law?" Zhu Chuanwen sat on the table and looked around. His parents were there, Gong Ruomei and Zhu Xiaowan were there, so it was the mother-in-law who lived in the porcelain house recently and helped take care of Xian'er.

"Is Xian'erniang eating with my daughter? You too, you must eat hot pot, and it must be spicy!" Chuanwenniang complained a little while pointing at Zhu Chuanwen.

"I'm also greedy. Besides, the cook I'm looking for this time is a serious Shu person!" Zhu Chuanwen quibbled, the family now cooks two meals, one is fresh, and the other is everyone's. This matter was decided after discussion between the young couple.

My daughter-in-law is so proud!Zhu Chuanwen was secretly complacent.

"Mother, how is this greenhouse?" Zhu Chuanwen has never been to the greenhouse next to Binjiang City once, and this thing is not a rare item now.Historically, there are records of greenhouses in the Qin Dynasty and the Roman Empire. In the 18th century, after the mass production of glass, France, Germany, and the United States all began to study this technology. Therefore, in the boundary of Ice City, the Russians made small Yes, now Zhu Chuanwen has built a big one, covering an area of ​​about 3 acres, divided into three greenhouses, supplying porcelain houses and a series of households for the wives of the insurance team.

"Very good. These vegetables are produced in greenhouses A and B. As for the melons and fruits in greenhouse C, it will take some time." Chuanwenniang stopped worrying about Xian'er hiding upstairs. That's right, I don't go once I'm done. If she wasn't worrying about it, she wouldn't be able to catch up with the supply family.

"That's pretty good." Zhu Chuanwen watched his father move his chopsticks, and hurried to do it, rinsing the wagyu beef, which is really extravagant for future generations.

Driven by Zhu Chuanwen's ferocity, Zhu Xiaowan and Gong Ruomei also joined in the battle for meat.

It may be because of the relaxed family environment of the Zhu family, all the people raised are like little tigers, regardless of boys and girls, they will eat delicious food, and there will be wind and clouds.

Zhu Xiaowan's good daughter is now like a guinea pig in the south, with two full cheeks, both of which are fat and thin Wagyu beef.

Gong Ruomei is very restrained, and her eating habits are elegant, but the frequency is really fast.

Annoying spirit, don't you chew?The meat is good, and the slices are thin, but you have to chew it.Zhu Chuanwen glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, thinking.

Seeing this scene, Chuanwenniang sat between the two daughters, with one piece on the left and one on the right.Since Chuanjie left, this was the first time that the dinner table in the porcelain house was so lively.

It may be that the daughter of the palace family is turning grief and anger into appetite. I heard that the daughter is not happy today.Chuanwenniang thought to herself.

Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Chuanwen looked at each other, then lowered their heads, there was still more beef, but it would be more enjoyable to rush to eat it.Zhu Kaishan has reached his age, and his understanding of life is closer to enjoyment, while Zhu Chuanwen is purely for his appetite, this base material is authentic!

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, the Zhu family father and son sat in the living room.

"Clarified, Dezhong has sent a letter. This year's farmer recruitment is estimated to be completed in mid-December. Two batches of 12 farmers have been resettled on the plains previously planned by Binjiang Mansion."

"Understood, father, the ironware factory has started to manufacture farm tools, and it should be fully delivered by next year's spring plowing."

"The horses and cattle in Xiaoqingshan?"

"Let me let the ranch and Shan Shuxin gather together. In the past six months, Shan Shuxin has also achieved good results in Xiaoqingshan. Basically, everyone in the 1500-member team has horses. Next year, Brother Shaofang's team will also Go and stay there for a year, and when next year is over, the looting should stop."

Since Xu Shichang asked Zhu Kaishan regiment to train a provincial militia, after next year, the regularization of the Zhu family insurance team must also be established. The slogan of a stable insurance team in a province is destined not to be empty talk.

"That's good. I think the same way. In the future, I will properly mention the military salary of the insurance team. I know that you are also kind and want to increase the income of the insurance team. Well, it’s only the horse bandits that were suppressed, and when the horse bandits are gone, who will these wild soldiers go to rob? That’s something that can’t be determined.” This time Zhu Kaishan persuaded Zhu Chuanwen to stop his looting The plan, the development with peace of mind, the team can be dispatched to suppress the bandits, but the income from these bandits must be unified and distributed later, and must be strictly prohibited.

"Father, I plan to train another group of instructors starting next year." Zhu Chuanwen said, since the plan to recruit 3000 insurance team members next year has been set, the corresponding team instructors must also be matched, and the people should be selected from the worker group. , This is Zhu Chuanwen's power to control the insurance team. Although it is still at the squadron leader level, there must be room for improvement in the future. At least now, the various detachment leaders have discovered the benefits of instructors. Military chiefs are in charge of fighting, and instructors are in charge of life. , Let the cohesion of the team go up to a new level.

"You can figure it out." As for the trainer, Zhu Kaishan is also comfortable with it now, and he thinks it is quite convenient. "Keren has arrived in Jinmen?"

"Well, Wang Keren will be stationed in Jinmen for a period of time in the future. I think this little emperor will definitely not be able to suppress these arrogant soldiers from Beiyang. Yuan Shikai will come back sooner or later."

"So, you asked Xu Shichang to give Yuan Shikai 1 silver dollars?"

"Haha, Xu Shichang, Yuan Shikai and I are the only one left behind." Zhu Chuanwen smiled, and turned his gaze in Fengtian's direction.

Fengtian, Governor's Mansion

Taking advantage of the darkness, the carriage marked by Han Yao stopped in an alleyway, and a figure hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

Knocked on the door where the servants of the governor's mansion often go.

"What's your business?" The concierge who opened the door saw that it was the shopkeeper of Fengtian Hanyao Commercial Co., Ltd. who often came to deliver flour. so it is.

"This master, I have something to ask to see Guanshi Wu."

The concierge thought for a while, let the shopkeeper of Hanyao wait at the door, and went in to find this steward Wu. This steward Wu is Xu Shichang's old servant and has been with him for more than 30 years.

As the figures moved in the night, an old servant with a stooped body knocked on the door of Xu Shichang's study.

"Old Wu, haven't you rested so late?" Seeing that it was his old servant who came in, Xu Shichang had clearly ordered him to get up early tomorrow to pack the things in the Governor's Mansion, and let him go to bed early.

"Master, this is something sent by Hanyao. I don't know how to deal with it. I will wait for the master to decide." Steward Wu handed over two envelopes respectfully.

……

"Hahaha..." Xu Shichang laughed heartily after reading the letter, and then said: "According to your temperament, the people from Hanyao are still waiting at the door, let them return, I will accept the things."

When Xu Shichang was left alone in the study again, under the electric light, Xu Shichang looked at the letters on the table and suddenly felt a little funny, no matter what medicine was hidden in the Zhu family's gourd, his heart was very warm at this time, and he accepted the letter from the Han family. Yao is not a rich silver.

People go tea cool.There are many icing on the cake, but few give charcoal in the snow.

After the completion of Puyi's enthronement ceremony in the capital and the setting of the world, the news became more and more circulated. Even some personnel changes were two days behind the information Xu Shichang received.

Generally speaking, there are two major events. One is that Yuan Shikai was demoted, reduced to a commoner, and sent back to his hometown.This is the result of the hard work of Xu Shichang, Zhang Zhidong and others. It is a good thing that they were not killed.

The second one is related to Xu Shichang. Although he still had a little fantasy, he was demoted after all. It may also be because of the heart of the feudal official. authority of officials.

In the future, he will be demoted just like Yuan Shikai. Xu Shichang has already written the end of his official career at this time.

Since Zeng Guofan, the Qing court has become a little more proficient in this method. It transferred the governors back to the capital, gathered power, and then ascended and surrendered. Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai, and now it is Xu Shichang's turn .

For a while, the news of Beiyang's loss of power spread throughout Fengtian City, and the current situation of the Fengtian Governor's Mansion was completely deserted.

All the elite soldiers in the six towns of Beiyang were assigned to the Ministry of War, which can be regarded as confiscated military power on the surface.

Besides, what the Zhu family did now can be regarded as a little comfort to Xu Shichang's heart. He also didn't raise a white-eyed wolf like Zheng Jiatun.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

If Zhu Chuanwen knew Xu Shichang's thoughts, he would definitely sigh: It all depends on his peers!
Others are given money and gifts when they take office, but this is the first time Xu Shichang was given money when he left office. Before, he was interested in the role and ability of the Zhu family and his son, but now the money is to feel the warmth of human feelings. .

Of the two letters, one contained content, plus a promissory note from the British Bank of Tianjin, worth [-] silver dollars.

The letter is full of Zhu Chuanwen's grievances, and the grievances are naturally not directed at Xu Shichang but at the Qing court. In the letter, Xu Shichang's new policy in the Kanto can be said to be praised to the sky. How corrupt the Kanto was before, and how heavy it is now, made a deep comparison. These The data may seem cold, but it is actually steaming flattery. Although there is no flattery, Governor Xu read the words comfortably and couldn't help laughing out loud.

At the end, Zhu Chuanwen wrote a sincere thank you to Xu Shichang, and offered 1 silver dollars, please Mr. Xu not to refuse, this is what he gave for the people of the Binjiang Prefecture farming reclamation, without him, there would be no good days for the farmers in Binjiang Prefecture .

In addition, even for Yuan Shikai, Zhu Chuanwen also deeply admired him, and also offered 1 silver dollars, hoping that Xu Shichang would send it on his behalf.

Regarding this matter, Xu Shichang used his own associations, what is Zhu Kaishan's background, the Boxer Regiment, and Yuan Shikai, who was the pioneer of the Qilu suppression of the Boxer Regiment.To make a metaphor for this matter, it's like a retired company leader meets a middle-level cadre who has been involved in the reorganization. Everyone is a well-behaved person, just smile and forget the grudge. This money is like treating the old leader to dinner.

Xu Shichang was happy to be this peacemaker. Although Yuan Shikai was definitely not short of money, the Zhu family did a good job this time, which made Xu Shichang feel that he was right.
