Chapter 29 Foundation (Part 1)

"Oh, ears, don't pull them, they will fall off if they pull them again. [Very good] Visit: Grandpa, I am your grandson!" Wu Er was in charge of instructing his grandfather among a group of teenagers, but when he met his grandfather, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. He didn't even dare to struggle hard, so he could only shout and follow the old man to the door of the carriage.

The boys were startled and realized that the carriage had stopped at some point. They looked out the open carriage door and found a four-wheeled carriage with a very simple decoration, but the shelf and wheels were made of "fine" steel, and stopped at the right side of the road opposite the "door" of the public carriage. 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. Then, the old man jumped onto the shaft, shook the reins twice, and drove the four-wheeled carriage with his skill that was not in line with his age.

"My second brother's family is definitely not an ordinary person!" Immediately, a boy muttered in a low voice in the carriage of the public carriage.

"Isn't it? In order not to let him join the army, his grandfather actually drove a carriage to intercept him!" The other teenagers agreed with envy.

Four-wheeled carriages are very rare in Jiangnan. Even in Huaiyang, it is a luxury thing that has only gradually emerged in recent years. Not to mention the carriage pulling horses, they are all tall Liaodong horses, and they often have a 145-cent of silos in various places south of the Yellow River. They are the "fine" steel frames and wheels that cannot be taken without 7 or 8 cents of silos. They are often in a state of price but no goods. They need to book several months in advance with the car dealer before they can get them.

Therefore, four-wheeled carriages led by single or double horses are usually standard cars for senior officials of Huaiyang General Administration Office or senior managers of Huaiyang Business. Ordinary people rarely afford it. Even a wealthy family usually cannot bear to run on the street all day after buying a carriage. It is just that the beauty of the golden house is hidden, and it will only be taken out to fill the door on very important occasions.

However, the teenagers soon found that there seemed to be something wrong with their judgment. Before the public carriage could be re-started, outside the glass window, at least three or four four four carriages with similar specifications as the one that Chang Xiaoer was riding in, galloping past. Behind each carriage, a square iron sign was nailed. The sign was painted with a Chinese character, a Latin and a string of big food numbers in blue 'color lacquer, and b952.

"Is it a taxi car? I heard from my elders in my family that a taxi car has recently emerged here, and you can get on the roadside with a wave. But the price of a car is expensive!!" Some people are keen and quickly think of a new term. Read the latest chapter full text

"It must be, did you not pay attention just now? There is a yellow triangle on the roof of each carriage?!"

"Isn't it? If it's really a wealthy family, it should send a servant to pick him up and catch the car. How could it be his grandfather himself?"

"Oh, I regretted it just now, why didn't I ask where he lives?"

"You are the 'science'? If he had really gone to the martial arts lecture hall after he had already gone to Jiqing to be a mate?"

""

The teenagers suddenly realized and responded in a verbal way again. However, their eyes were less envious and more calm.

They no longer expect Chang Xiaoer to come back to find a way for everyone. In fact, Chang Xiaoer really has no ability to help everyone. And even his dream of joining the army was strangled to death by Chang Laosi, who was driving the car.

"Little bastard, you don't piss on the army, so you don't piss on your own. Just like you, on the first day of your battlefield, you will have to be stabbed to death! Your grandfather, I have only lived a few good days, so you will have to let me give you a black-haired man? Little bastard, let's stop your thoughts as soon as possible, otherwise, if you go out of the door, I will hold the stone and go to the Yangtze River!" I haven't seen my grandson for half a year. If Chang Laosi said he didn't think about it, it would be absolutely lies. But no matter how much he loves his younger generation, he must first stand up today. Otherwise, once his grandson is really like the head of the Hanyuan Business Jiqing Branch, Liu, who came to report in advance, he would be determined to join the army. He may not be able to sleep peacefully every night in the future.

"Grandpa, grandpa, don't be angry! I have to go home and discuss with you and my father before registering? Really, I really plan to discuss with you? Otherwise, otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the public car just now, but instead of renting a car and heading straight to the "gate" of the Bingkeya!" Chang Xiaoer's training outside for half a year was more mature than before. He knew that he could not just make the old man angry, so he opened the front window of the carriage inside and poked out half of his head to explain.

"Close the window, are you looking for death?!" Chang Laosi didn't look back and scolded loudly. Then, he quickly added: "Don't discuss, I won't agree! Your father must listen to me. Otherwise, I will go to the yamen to sue you two of you who are disobedient and unfilial. The army dares to accept you, your unfilial grandson!"

When Chang Xiaoer heard this, he quickly begged for mercy, "No, don't, grandpa. You really went to sue. Didn't my father's job be ruined? He finally got to be a third-level craftsman. You really ruined his job and let him and my mother drink the northwest wind in the future?"

"Drink it, it's better than being scared to death by you!" Chang Laosi refused to let go and trembled the reins of the car.

"How could it be? I just signed up for a registration, but I may not be able to choose. Even if I choose, I will start with the auxiliary soldiers. I have to go through several rounds of elimination before I can be qualified to divide the fifteen acres of land!" Chang Xiaoer knew that his grandfather was angry, and put his tone in a very relaxed manner, and explained slowly.

"You know what's the point! In the past, recruiting troops was strictly controlled because there was no big war. The Northern Expedition was about to be about to be launched. Who can care about so carefully? As long as you sign up, you will be hired immediately and then you will be sent to the battlefield."

"Who did you hear? Isn't this lies?"

"What lies? You haven't seen me. Are even students studying in the General Administration recruited to the General Administration as civil service? Even those who are in office are so short of officials, let alone those who are in the army?"

"Hiss!" Chang Xiaoer immediately sucked his teeth and sucked the air. The recent move of the General Administration to recruit civil servants does give people a feeling of being hungry and eating. Even the reserve officials are no longer so strict. For ordinary soldiers, it will be more relaxed.

However, he was unwilling to accept this, and his grandfather delayed his chance to make a name for himself. He held his chin and turned his eyes for a few rounds, and said to him, "Grandpa, why did you get a carriage? This carriage is probably over 20 years old! Did my brother buy it for you with money? It's so hard for you to be in the wind and sun every day! How could it be like sitting at home and enjoying the happiness?!"

"I am born to be a hardworking person, and it will be uncomfortable if I don't work for a day!" When the second grandson mentioned Chang Fugui, the most promising Changsun in the family, although Chang Laosi was still stubborn, a little proud smile quietly appeared on his face. "Your brother bought it for me, but it didn't cost twenty stags. He only spent two stags of money in a car and horse. The rest can be paid with the car dealership, and he will make a profit slowly?"

"Credit? There is such a good thing? The interest rate is not too high, right? Don't be fooled?" Chang Xiaoer was slightly stunned when he heard it, and his eyes immediately showed a sharp light. Twenty guan and two guan, the difference is huge. You must know that Huaiyang's feet are good at present, which is a first-class hard currency. Even in the suburbs of Yangzhou City, five guan can buy one acre of high-quality paddy fields. If you go to Jiangnan, in Jiqing Taiping, Yiguan Huaiyang's "meat" is good for one acre of land, and even the belt and bones are covered. Eighteen guan is eighteen acres of land. Only a fool will not keep his own live, but lend it to others for nothing. (Note 1)

"If you are fooled, don't you look at it, who dares to put a condom on someone at will? Isn't that asking for death?" Chang Laosi curled his lips, and his expression on his face became more and more proud. "Besides, your brother has been promoted to the manager, and he is the deputy manager of the general account. Although the Hanyuan branch is not under the name of the general account, there are also shares of Huaiyang Business. How could he be the one who is the Huaiyang Business Store, which is also a shareholding in Huaiyang Business Company?

"Oh!" Chang Xiaoer felt a little more at ease when he heard the old man say this. Then, he frowned again and pretended to be very philanthropic, "What is the interest? My brother is too. Why didn't he buy it directly? It's always bad for him to owe him credit. He has to pay interest after making money. He feels so uneasy!"

"Twenty cents, do you think your brother's money is blown by the strong wind?" Chang Laosi's thoughts were indeed not as expected by his grandson. He shook his head and retorted with a smile. "I didn't ask him to pay the full price. Since he can owes credit, why pay the full price? These days, the old man is the one who owes money. Besides, the profit is only 2 cents, and it is not much more than a year. Now the business of renting a carriage is good, and I can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a day. In less than a year, I can pay off the debts clearly!"

"It's only two li. Why don't you hire someone to drive the car by yourself and send the cheap ones out for free? It's really strange?!" Half was to share the heart of his grandfather, and half was really curious. Chang Xiaoer tilted his head to inquire.

"I heard from your brother that the iron plant in Ma'anshan, Jiangnan has officially started construction. More than ten furnaces of molten iron can be used every day. I also said that if I used a flat furnace, I could directly make the molten iron. "Chang Laosi smiled again, and his "sex" revealed. "So there is no end to the steel in Yangzhou. The boss is very good at doing business, so he simply asked the business to take out interest to subsidize the people to buy carriages. Well,

Not only are you a taxi carriage or a private carriage, but you will probably be sold openly after the New Year. You don’t have to spend money anymore and you have to queue up for several months! If you are successful, don’t think about being a soldier. Grandpa, I will go out and buy one for you with a credit, and you can get it slowly. Let you drive the car every day when you go out. How powerful is that? In a few days, a big girl sent a matchmaker to take the initiative to get in the door and pay it back!"

There is a eldest grandson in his family who can support the "doors" family. He has heard a lot of "confidentials" of the Huaiyang General Administration and the Huaiyang Business Bureau. Therefore, among the neighbors, he is also a well-informed person. He usually likes to sell "doubts" a few times, but today he knows everything in front of his young grandson.

Unexpectedly, my young grandson thought completely differently from his grandfather. He automatically ignored his grandfather's promise to buy a carriage and whispered in a low voice, "So much steel can make a lot of armor and weapons? No wonder people say that this Northern Expedition of the Great General will definitely be able to directly attack Huanglong. So much steel has piled up the capital!"
