War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 337 Isn't this delivered to your door?

Yuan Mansion, living room.

When Xu Chaoyang walked in from the backyard, the person he saw was not someone from Yuan Laoliu's family, but a pale-faced scholar.

Just how useful the name of the "Yuan Family" is in this era can be seen from the arrival of this pale-faced scholar!
"Captain Xu."

The moment the pale-faced scholar saw Xu Chaoyang, he actually saluted with his hands clasped together, looking a bit like a gangster.

"Who are you?" Xu Chaoyang didn't know him, but he looked familiar...

The pale-faced scholar smiled and said, "Captain Xu, we have never met him, but I have heard too many stories about him on the battlefield, and I admire him very much."

"My surname is Hu, and I am currently the Dean of the College of Arts and the Head of the Chinese Department at Peking University."

Xu Chaoyang immediately remembered who he was. He was the future president of Peking University, the initiator of my country's "Civil Rights Protection", a man with countless titles, but was criticized by later generations as "the first person to resist Japan"!

But in those days, he was not the only one who said the word "seek peace". Even the famous Mr. Chen Yinluo said, "Resistance will lead to the country's destruction, surrender is the best policy". These words were recorded in Mr. Wu Mi's diary. Haha, he was another person who loved to write a diary.

The question is, was that Hu Shi that Xu Chaoyang saw?
No, what he saw was 'Peking University'!
What we see are countless sincere students and vast knowledge.

These are the people that Dagu Shipyard, Jingxing Coal Mine and Thermal Power Plant are currently lacking.

"Do you know anyone from the Yuan family?"

"The Yuan Clan Association's annual donation to Peking University is made through me...hahahaha." He laughed.

Xu Chaoyang also understood that Yuan Laoliu's family realized that they could no longer open a gap with the military, so they turned to prying their mouths open from a cultural level.

Xu Chaoyang pretended to be stupid and sat on the chair, looking at the man in white gown in front of him. He could see the bookish air from the south in this man, which was completely different from the north. "Mr. Hu, are you looking for me?"

"I came for the Yuan family."

Hu Shi, wearing black-framed glasses and with a clean face, asked without any urgency, "Captain Xu, let's not talk about other things for now. Can we ask Master Yuan Liu's family to collect the body of the Second Young Master first? He has been left to rot on the street in the middle of summer. There are flies all over the body every day, and insects keep crawling out. It's scary to look at."

Xu Chaoyang nodded when he heard this: "Since Mr. Hu has educated thousands of students, I will give him this honor."

Hu Shi clasped his fists again, and then said: "Captain Xu, then, I wonder if I can be a peacemaker for the two of you and resolve the hatred of the Yuan family. After all, they all have the same surname. If they continue to make trouble like this, won't it make outsiders laugh at them?"

"They all have the same surname?" Xu Chaoyang looked at Hu Shi: "Mr. Hu, have you found out the truth?"

Hu Shi nodded: "Before coming here, I went to see Master Liu in prison."

"What did you say?"

Hu Shi laughed a few times: "It doesn't sound very good."

"It's okay!" Xu Chaoyang promised, "We've never heard anything nice on the battlefield, so you can say whatever you want."

"Sixth Master said that they are right. The Yuan Clan Association will manage the Yuan family's property. This was originally decided during the funeral..."

Hearing this, Xu Chaoyang stopped him and asked, "Who decided this?"

"Uh... our country's etiquette has always been like this... the elders in the family..."

Xu Chaoyang stood up, walked in front of Hu Shi, bent down slightly, and asked him face to face: "Who is it!"

Hu Shi stopped talking, not because he had nothing to say, but because he knew that it was impossible to reason with a soldier.

"Mr. Hu, please continue."

Xu Chaoyang did not force him. He took a few steps and stood at the door. Under the sunset, he turned his back to Hu Shi.

"The Yuan clan will manage the Yuan family's inheritance. According to the legacy, 'wealth does not disperse, people do not disperse', so they keep it in their family and do not distribute it..."

Xu Chaoyang turned around again and asked Hu Shi: "Mr. Hu, did you participate in the funeral at that time?" "No."

"So, is the sentence 'As long as the money stays, the people will stay' a sigh or a last word? How do you define it?"

"Is there a clear statement in the will that the money should be left to the Yuan Clan Association for management? If this is true, Mr. Hu, would you mind making the following arrangements? For example, how many silver dollars should be given to the descendants of the Yuan family every month as living expenses? This should be the way to prevent the descendants of the Yuan family from squandering the family wealth, right?"

Xu Chaoyang has seen this a lot!

The daughter of Hong Kong star Feifei waited until she reached a certain age to get the inheritance; and the mother of a certain female Hong Kong star is still making a fuss about why her daughter did not give her the inheritance... But she arranged for her family to receive living expenses every month, isn't this common sense?

Xu Chaoyang continued, "Under the control of the Yuan Clan Association, the Yuan family had to go to the streets of Tianjin to sell their carving skills for a living, and had to move from their large and wealthy families to small alleys. Does this make sense?"

Having said that, Xu Chaoyang shook his head again and said, "Of course, the Yuan family's money has nothing to do with me, and I shouldn't ask. Mr. Hu, please continue."

This time it was Hu Shi's turn to not understand. He stood up and walked behind Xu Chaoyang and asked, "Captain Xu, if this has nothing to do with you, why are you still holding Yuan Liuye in prison?"

Xu Chaoyang then slowly said: "Mr. Hu, in fact, you were wrong from the beginning."

"This is not the Yuan family's business, this is the Yuan family and my Xu family's business!"

"I killed the second son of the Yuan family not for the Yuan family's property, but because I had just come down from the anti-Japanese front in Miyun, and when I got home I saw someone slap my wife in the face. If it was you, would you be able to tolerate it? Anyway, I can't tolerate it!"

"I sacrificed hundreds of my brothers' lives in Xifengkou and Miyun just to protect these people, right?"

"I said this in front of Yuan Laoliu, but he didn't believe it!"

After saying that, Xu Chaoyang turned around and looked at Hu Shi: "Do you believe it?"

Hu Shi was stunned.

He doesn't believe it!

"I believe."

But at this time, you have to say this.

"Then, Captain Xu, how do you think this matter can be ended?"

Xu Chaoyang was trying hard to hold back his laughter, and his face was deliberately grim: "Are you asking me?"

"Slap, he slapped my wife in the face and asked me how I felt satisfied."

"Is this how the Yuan family does things?"

"That's fine. I just want the moon in the sky. Just pick it up and put it in front of me, and the matter will be settled."

Hu Shi, who knew astronomy and had expressed his feelings using mathematical formulas, replied, "That may not fit..."

"What?!" Xu Chaoyang glared at him. Hu Shi immediately said, "What I mean is, who can pick the moon from the sky? Captain Xu, why don't you suggest a suitable one?"

At this time, Xu Chaoyang held Hu Shi's arm and led him back to the house from the door: "Mr. Hu, let's put this matter aside for now. Chaoyang is here and has something to ask of you."

Hu Shi immediately understood that in addition to the Yuan family's inheritance, the other party had additional requests: "It's not a matter of asking, as long as I can help..."

"I'm stationed at Dagu Shipyard. The director there always told me that there are many problems in weapons production that cannot be solved. There is no precedent in the world today. For example, the 'General Liu's Rifle' has a muzzle that is very prone to problems, but the gas-collecting muzzle is the most important... You tell me, we soldiers don't understand this. You let us shoot, and it's no problem. Researching guns, isn't that bullshit?"

"Does anyone in your Peking University understand this?"

"Can you send someone to conduct an on-site inspection and help us solve this kind of problem?"
