Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 316: Advantages of Soft Penetration
In the first month of the gold mine's operation, the profits were quite good, which was considered a good start.

On the other side of the mountain field, the mountains of stacked wood turned into rafts and were tied in the river bays.

All they had to do was wait for the Pai Gang to gather enough men, and then they could drift down the Yalu River towards Andong.

Qu Shaoyang and the Chen brothers jointly opened a Fushengqing material store in Andong, specializing in the timber business.

The work at the mountain farm was good this season. Apart from the wood ordered by old timber customers from the south, there was still a lot left, which was sold to some material warehouses in Anton.

For the wood sold to Anton material warehouse, we just need to put the rafts on them, and the other party will hire wood handlers and assemble the rafts to transport them to Anton.

Only the timber for old customers from the south requires Liu Dongshan to organize manpower and transport it.

In late April, twenty rafts flying the flag of Fushengqing Material Store set out from Jiangwan upstream of Wangjiang Tower and sailed towards Andong in a mighty manner.

Liu Dongshan originally said that he wanted to follow along on this rafting trip because he wanted to see the effect of the soft-threaded raft when it was drifting in the river.

But Qu Shaoyang refused to let him go no matter what, so Liu Dongshan had no choice but to give up the idea.

Fortunately, many of the gang members are veterans and are very familiar with the various outposts on the Yalu River.

Moreover, they set out from Wangjiang Tower, which is in the middle and lower reaches of the Yalu River. The river is wide and there are relatively fewer dangerous shoals and dangerous sentinels.

Soft parallelism is more flexible than original character arrangement and does not have too many requirements on the river water. It can pass through deep water or shallow water.

Therefore, it is rarely stranded, and the speed of exile is naturally faster than that of the original word.

On May 18, the raft arrived in Anton smoothly and was delivered to the container.

The wood bearers received their pay and took a short rest in the city of Andong.

Li Changliang, Dalin and others have all gotten married and have wives and children, so naturally they can no longer spend their money recklessly as they did in the past.

Instead, they went to the city and bought a lot of things that could be used at home as gifts for their wives and children.

The remaining money was also carefully put away for use when I returned home.

There are thirty or forty people in a gang, and it is impossible for everyone to be like Li Changliang and his gang.

Those unmarried guys, when they arrive in Anton, will definitely enjoy themselves.

After a big meal in a restaurant, he would go to the theater to listen to some music, have some fun in a brothel, and from time to time he would go to the casino to try his luck.

As time went by, the money in his hands was spent like water. Before autumn came, the money was all gone and he even owed debts.

There is no need to worry about being in debt, as the counter will come forward and help them pay off the debt, arrange accommodation and food for them as long as they sign the contract for next year, and then they can return to the mountains to work in the autumn.

Li Changliang had no idea how many times he had warned these people beforehand, but they wouldn't listen and there was nothing anyone could do.

Li Changliang and others were anxious to return to Maoer Mountain to report the advantages and disadvantages of the soft penetration platoon to Qu Shaoyang and Liu Dongshan, so they only stayed in Andong for five or six days before setting off to go back.

Returning to Maoer Mountain with Li Changliang and his companions were Doctor Chen and his wife.

Doctor Chen and Mrs. Li have been very busy recently.

Just as Qu Shaoyang and Liu Dongshan said, after the couple returned to Kuandian, they immediately found people to repair the house, intending to use it for the Chen brothers to get married.

While the house was being renovated, the couple went to Andong and met Chen Yunzhe's fiancée Shen Lizhen.

After seeking Shen Lizhen's opinion, Li chose a date and arranged the marriage for Chen Yunzhe and Shen Lizhen.

Then, the two went to Liaoyang Changfeng Escort Agency to visit the He family and see their future daughter-in-law.

After discussing with the He family, a date was chosen and the marriage between Chen Yunhan and He Qingzhu was finalized.

The house in Kuandian had not been renovated yet, and preparations had to be made for the wedding, so the wedding date was set after winter.

Now that both of her sons were engaged, Mrs. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried about her pregnant daughter, so how could she stay in Kuandian? She wanted to return to Maoer Mountain immediately. Chen Yunzhe and Chen Yunhan both had errands and were busy, so they couldn't escort their parents back.

It happened that Li Changliang and his men had rafted to Andong, so Chen Yunzhe told them to stop by Kuandian on their way back and travel with Doctor Chen and his wife.

Fortunately, the public security along the Yalu River is good now. The militia led by Chen Yunhan is responsible for guarding the important roads along the river.

Those who rob people on the road and beat people with clubs have been cleaned up several times and there are very few of them now.

Doctor Chen and his group walked for seven or eight days and successfully returned to Maoer Mountain.

“Sir Qu, Dagui, our raft arrived safely in Andong and has been delivered to foreign merchants.

The soft-penetration effect is much better than the previous character layout, and it is flexible and easy to control.

When you encounter a narrow checkpoint, you can break it into small pieces so you can pass through it smoothly.

The only drawback is that the characters are not as solid as the original ones, but that’s not a big problem.”

When Li Changliang and others met Qu Shaoyang and Liu Dongshan, they quickly explained the advantages and disadvantages of the soft penetration platoon.

What Li Changliang and others said was similar to what Qu Shaoyang and Liu Dongshan expected, and both of them were very satisfied with it.

They also mentioned that the security along the way has improved a lot, and they basically didn't encounter any problems like eating in a queue or fighting gangs.

Qu Shaoyang was also very happy. He had spent a lot of effort to improve public security along the river, and his efforts were finally not in vain.

“Okay, everyone has worked hard along the way. Let’s rest in Maoer Mountain for two days and take a break.

Come to my place tonight and we'll get some good wine and food to reward you.

After winter this year, our mountain farm will be expanded, and we hope you can help us then."

Liu Dongshan was still very close to these old friends of the woodworking gang, and he quickly ordered people to prepare food and entertain everyone well.

Everyone didn't bother to be polite with Liu Dongshan and agreed directly.

On the other side, after meeting Qu Shaoyang, Doctor Chen and his wife went to visit their daughter and grandson.

Chen Xiuyun is now nearly nine months pregnant. Since Qu Shaoyang came back, no one has made trouble at home. Chen Xiuyun can rest assured and take care of the baby. Her complexion is much better than before.

As soon as Li saw her daughter, she immediately took her to the inner room for a check-up.

"It's OK, the fetal head has come down and the fetal position is good.

This is your second child. In the last month, the fetus may enter the pelvis at any time, and there is a high possibility of premature delivery.

Be careful these days, it's best to sleep in separate rooms from Shaoyang, but never in the same room."

Mrs. Li had to give her daughter a few more instructions, fearing that something might happen to the child.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm pregnant with my second child now. Don't I know what I should and shouldn't do?"

Chen Xiuyun was delighted when she heard it. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This is the second time, so she is very familiar with it. What else is there to not understand?
“I’m not afraid of you, I’m afraid Shaoyang doesn’t understand.

He is only in his early twenties and full of energy. What if he can't control himself?
You have to be careful at this time."

Li did not dare to be careless. She held her daughter's hand and gave her repeated instructions.

"Mom, Shaoyang is not a reckless person, it's okay." Chen Xiuyun smiled and shook her head.

"We both hope that the baby in our belly will be born safely. If it's a girl, it would be even better."

Gensuo is less than two years old, but he is already very naughty. The young couple has the same goal and hopes that this time the baby will be a well-behaved girl.

Li glanced at Chen Xiuyun's belly and said nothing. She just shook her head and sighed.
