I want to be a good person

"You little bastard, you still want to provoke me? I have crossed more bridges than you have walked."

The old shopkeeper's eyes flashed coldly, piercing the accountant's back.

The accountant returned to the counter angrily and sat down angrily.

"You old thing, you are shameless. Just wait and see how I will deal with you in the future!"

The guards were very happy and seemed to indicate that they would accept them.

"Okay, let's stop here and drink half of the wine. When we get back to the camp, we'll do what we need to do."

"understood"

"clear"

The two people from Shandong nodded without saying anything.

Zhao Dayou finally reminded: "If you really want to surrender to me, you must provide accurate information about your family members and leave all your military belongings behind. Don't take anything away."

“Then we don’t use guns.”

"What gun? Sir, let us figure it out."

"oh"

The five people exchanged glances and nodded heavily.

"Before the gentleman left, he anticipated that you would come, but he didn't expect so many people to come. The money he prepared in advance is not enough. Let's go home and get it."

"The Master predicted that we would come"

“Yes, I thought there would be two or three.”

The soldier's thoughts were like boiling water, bubbling away non-stop.

"Wait me a moment"

Zhao Dayou saw that the people had almost finished eating and there were still a lot of leftover dishes, so he waved for a waiter to come and clean them up.

The people in the backyard would pick up the leftovers on the table and eat them, and then stew them together to make a good dish.

"Boss, I'll take them to do something."

"Go ahead, I'm here"

"Excuse me, shopkeeper"

When I returned to the yard, it was empty and all the farm animals were gone.

Zhao Dayou opened the door of his room, turned around and said, "Five people, wait for me for a moment."

"Okay, go ahead"

Rehe took a few quick steps, reached the main room, and peeked inside through the crack in the door.

"That's weird. Didn't they say they were leaving today? How come the place is empty?"

"Lao Li, what are you doing?"

Several people had embarrassed and angry expressions on their faces. They looked at each other's actions, felt ashamed, and lowered their voices to scold.

"I, I, just take a look"

"you"

"How will people see us if you do this?"

Zhao Dayou was observing silently through the window.

Waited for a while.

Zhao Dayou took out a few small cloth bags.

"Here, the gentleman only left 30 dollars, and originally expected three people."

Several people quickly bowed and clasped their hands to express their gratitude.

"Send it back to your family first. Don't gamble, don't smoke, and don't go to brothels. My husband doesn't like it."

“We know”

"Come if you have something to do. No private contact. Just come here if you come."

"it is good"

Zhao Dayou walked behind and saw the five people out. His hand quietly pulled the back of the Shandong man's collar.

The three of them were a step slower, so Zhao Dayou took four silver dollars in each hand and stuffed them over.

With a blink of an eye, the information exchange was completed.

After watching the five people leave, Zhao Dayou turned around and went home.

He was wary of the five new members and trusted his fellow villagers more. He could not let the Yang threaten his position and had to divide them subtly.

Zhang Aiguo left 40 yuan as a monthly salary for those who came to him. Eight yuan per person was not a small amount. For a ragtag army like this, the amount they received in a month was not enough for even the lowest rank. It was just enough to ensure that they would not be hungry and had food to eat.

The military system of the Republic of China was still based on warlords, divided into countless factions of all sizes, such as the Guangdong faction, the Guangxi faction, the Hunan faction, the Shanxi faction, the Sichuan faction, the Fengtian faction, etc. Only those who graduated from Whampoa Military Academy were the true direct descendants, and there were some who defected earlier.

Everyone uses their own people, and factors such as hometown, clan, and geography have an impact all the time. They also have to guard against people who are too capable and take over the show. People who are too incompetent are too tiring to use, with constant micro-management and intrigue all day long, and the fights are bloody.

The upper echelons of the government were living a life of debauchery, putting on a show every day, and shouting exciting slogans, while the lower echelons were struggling to make ends meet. The gap between the rich and the poor was so great that it was unimaginable that a tattered straw hat would cost thirty thousand girls.

"No, where is the donkey, the chicken, and the dog?"

Zhao Dayou was also very surprised when he returned to the yard, as if he had disappeared in an instant.

I went down to the cellar and it was also empty.

When I got back to the ground, I couldn't help but peek inside through the crack in the door, and it was empty too.

what's the situation?

Why am I a little confused?

Zhao Dayou felt that he needed to sort things out carefully.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, and I felt that Zhang Aiguo was even more unfathomable.

When he returned to the cellar and looked at the hiding place, he found two small 50-dollar bills, a pistol, and half a box of bullets.

I feel a little excited and emotional.

"gentlemen!"

At this time, Zhang Aiguo was still on the train, and he fell asleep as soon as he sat down.

The women had no choice. Even though they were fed up with each other, they couldn't break up with each other, so they could only look out the window.

The only one who was making a fuss was the little girl. She had never been on a train before, so everything she saw seemed magical.

He kept talking excitedly and giggling.

Second class seats are like special compartments with no other passengers.

Daya was worried that it would affect Zhang Aiguo, so she would observe his movements.

Zhao Xinyu saw it and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, he was too tired last night and fell asleep."

"snort"

The three women all snorted coldly.

Zhang Aiguo woke up, and the three of them were as harmonious as one. When Zhang Aiguo closed his eyes and fell asleep, they split into three.

After transferring and changing trains, Zhang Aiguo and his family arrived in Shanghai.

“Shanghai is so beautiful”

"Redneck"

The street scenery cannot compare with Zhangjiakou or even Beijing.

"Let's go to the British Concession"

"good"

Wen Ruixi waved and several rickshaws came over.

Zhang Aiguo reached out and bought a declaration form, browsing the house sale information on it. The sub-landlord had placed a large advertisement in the newspaper and also released sales information.

Real estate speculation is something that the savvy people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are good at. We have to admit that they have a keen business sense.

House prices are the best contraceptive, but also a poison.

The real estate market in Shanghai was formed in the early years of the Republic of China. Due to the US Silver Act, a large amount of silver flowed out of China, economic deflation, and the collapse of many banks and money houses, the decline in the Shanghai property market in the second half of the year makes now a good opportunity to officially enter the market.

They found a hotel, divided the rooms into different ones, and the three women sat separately.

"What kind of house do you want to live in? And what kind of livelihood do you want to make in the future?"

Wen Ruixi spoke first, and her position as the legal wife could not be challenged.

"Sir, I heard that the Westerners also agree with the Greater Shanghai Plan launched by the National Government. Although it was interrupted by the war with the Japanese in 32, it still has potential for development."

"Well, Ruixi is right. There are wars and bandits everywhere. The concession is still much safer."

"Sir, the government won't fight?"

Qiu Hongmei asked.

"Fight, what are we fighting for? We don't want to get involved in state affairs, and we can't afford to get involved."

"The book says that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, isn't it easy?"

Zhao Xinyu is still simple. The life of a peasant woman limits her horizons, but it also has its advantages: her man comes first.

The simplest way to govern a country is to add water if there is too much flour, and add some rice if there is too little flour. If there is no flour, add some rice. If there is no rice, just add water.

Now it is silver, and there are still some restrictions. When paper money comes out next year and we enter the paper money era, the whole process will be full of instinctive impulses.

"Let's not talk about this. If we have paper money in our hands in the future, don't keep it. Exchange it for silver dollars or gold, dollars or pounds will do. Remember this."

"knew."

The other two nodded.

"Don't take it lightly. Paper money is just paper if you print too much. Once the government over-issues it, the currency will depreciate severely and become worthless. You must remember to use it, otherwise you will find it too hard to wipe your butt."

"Hee hee hee"

The three of them covered their mouths and laughed.
