Chapter 42: Inadvertently Planting Willows (1)

PS: Thank you for your sunnyness, the green mountains remain unchanged, the legend of Doutian, the sheep Yang, the laughing about the eternal love, the broken rooster, Dong Zi, Xiao Erdao, Duan Xuefeng's great reward, thank you for your recommendation votes and collections!

During the period of the list, the emperor continued to ask for recommendation votes and rewards for support, and he was very grateful!

************************************

The rising sun is high, the morning breeze is refreshing, and the golden rice ears on both sides of the Qiantang River sway in the wind.

On the top deck, the one-armed boat boss Zhong Changqing and two friends lay on the temporary tabletop, watching the structure of the small inland transport ship drawn by Wu Ming with a fountain pen. They talked about it from time to time, and were shocked and novel.

After finishing drawing, Wu Ming began to explain the reasons for this design one by one, humbly explaining that this was what he saw in a foreign magazine and must be recalculated by professionals. This is just a rough idea. After finishing, he asked the opinions of the three experts.

Zhong Changqing couldn't help asking: "Brother, according to this drawing and your original requirements, why do I think this ship is like a small armed transport ship?"

The other two also echoed, one of them said: "I'm afraid that the armed transport ship is not as useful as this one."

Wu Ming really wanted to say that this is the effect I wanted, but I still didn't dare to say it out loud. Is it okay to just ask everyone's opinions humbly? The three of them discussed it and finally thought it was feasible, but the money invested was probably 30% more than that of ordinary transport ships.

Wu Ming was overjoyed and even said that money was not a problem. Since all the brothers were experts and had a way to customize them at Qianjiang Shipyard in Hangzhou. The diesel engines imported from the United States and ship steel plates are the same, only 22,000 yuan, and the price is nearly one-quarter lower than the public quotation in Shanghai. Why do I have to shamelessly bother to help me customize two.

The three of them were very righteous and admired Wu Ming's righteous act of saving the old general's family. Therefore, they made a very enthusiastic promise and told Wu Ming not to worry. Although the Qianjiang Shipyard in Hangzhou is not big, all the masters were returned from the Jiangnan Shipyard before. The several new types of aircraft and river ferries they built are no worse than those built by the shipyards opened by Shanghai Foreigners. The engine units and steel used are the same, all of which are ordered from the United States or Europe, and the prices are very real.

Wu Ming expressed his deep gratitude, and then discussed the details of the payment with everyone, etc. Finally, Fang Youchun also participated in the discussion and discussed it for more than half an hour before he left.

At another small table not far away, Mrs. Fang and Fang Zhichun were sitting on the rattan chair and whispering.

"It's hard to imagine that a person as serious as my brother would talk to that cunning guy like this."

Fang Zhichun held the baby and looked at the big brother and Wu Ming who were talking in a low voice from a railing not far away. He couldn't figure out how they were tempted. He started to have a heart-to-heart talk at dawn. Now the group of people finally dispersed, and the two of them got together and talked non-stop.

Sister Fang held her naughty son, approached Fang Zhichun, and laughed in a low voice: "Your brother's seriousness depends on who he is... As for Xiao Wu, I think you haven't fully understood him yet. During the days when he was trapped in the bandit's nest, he didn't talk much, he was very serious, and was with those fierce bandits, neither humble nor arrogant and calm, but he was very polite to me and my parents. He would rather starve for one day than give the bandits the preferential treatment of his food to me and the two olds, which moved us... Every time my mother would eat and cry while chanting scriptures and pray for him after eating. Alas! Think about what he did in the past two days and his attitude towards us. How can such a kind person be cunning? I rarely see him laughing, but this is similar to your brother."

Fang Zhichun fell silent and stared at Wu Ming's back without blinking, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Girl, have you fall in love with him?" Mrs. Fang asked jokingly.

"Nonsense! Who would like this kind of prodigal son? A joke!" Fang Zhichun blushed. Seeing that his sister-in-law's eyes were wrong, he pinched his sister-in-law angrily.

Mrs. Fang covered her mouth and smiled: "If you like it, just like it. I didn't let you marry him. What's the hurry? But then again, you are not young anymore. In the past, you didn't want to go on blind dates after graduating from high school and wanted to go to Hangzhou to study for college. My parents couldn't resist you and could only do whatever you want. But after a few years of college, Xu Sui was almost twenty-one years old. How could you delay it? Women age very quickly... Besides, you are a heart-wrenching of your parents. Your brother finally came out. If you go down, your parents may have to worry about your marriage."

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married yet. If I really want to get married, I must be my favorite, otherwise I would rather be single for the rest of my life." Although Fang Zhichun's voice was low, he could hear the stubbornness and firmness in his words.

Mrs. Fang shook her head helplessly. She and her husband both love this smart sister and are unwilling to let her suffer grievances, especially the marriage events that affect her life. She chooses everything for herself. For this reason, she often enlightens the anxious elderly at home.

Fang Zhichun seemed to have forgotten what he said just now, and then stared at Wu Ming's back: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about with that guy? Huh - it seems that guy suddenly became excited."

"Is that so? Let's take a look..."

Wu Ming was really excited. Unexpectedly, Fang Youchun was so thin-skinned, so fond of face, and had deep connections that he couldn't help but sigh:

"Brother Fang, since General Jiang Dingwen, known as the 'Flying General', is the tactical instructor when you entered the Zhejiang Martial Arts Hall, and General Lin Wei is the chief instructor when you were intern in the last year. Both of them are now famous people in front of Commander-in-Chief Jiang, why don't you ask them for help? Is it more important to face than the family who is worried and crying?"

Fang Youchun's face turned redder, and she turned to Wu Ming, shook her head and sighed quietly: "I'm worried that they can't remember who I am. There are 86 people in this issue. I'm not the best. I'm not very cheerful. How dare I hope they remember me? What's more, I haven't contacted each other for ten years, and I've never met each other during this period. How can I ask me to ask for help?"

"I really don't know what to say about you."

Wu Ming was very helpless to this guy who was desperate for face: "If you have the conditions to go, you have to go, but if you don't work hard, how can you know that it's not possible? By the way, when you go to Hangzhou this time, do you not plan to ask these two old instructors to help you overturn the case? I saw it in the newspaper that General Jiang Dingwen just led two divisions to Jiangxi last month, which is more glorious than when he was in the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains War in the previous few years. General Lin Wei was the Lieutenant General of the Second Department of the General Staff Headquarters two years ago, and now he is a senior staff member who is inseparable from Commander-in-Chief Jiang. With their words, it is more useful than if you run a leg."

Fang Youchun was silent for a moment and sighed helplessly: "I also know this news. Although I am not free in prison, those small officials and soldiers are not good to me. I can see newspapers almost every day, and I have basically understood the big things happening outside. But now there are internal and external troubles. The central government is in chaos. Local warlords wantonly separating the position of Commander-in-Chief Jiang is unable to sit steadily. He has to fly to Nanchang and avoid internal party struggles on the grounds of personally commanding the suppression of the Communist Party. Sun Ke and others ran to Guangzhou to reorganize the central government and fight against Nanjing. The military and political circles of Zhejiang are also in chaos. At this time, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to me, a local miscellaneous military officer who has just been released from prison."

"I don't think so, but I think this is a rare opportunity." Wu Ming has his own opinion.

"I also know that I have the opportunity, otherwise I would not have rushed to Hangzhou to seek justice without going home. But there are so many difficulties! Once the emperor and the ministers were once familiar with a few people, now I am afraid that I can't even protect myself. How could I come forward to help me?" Fang Youchun thought more and more deeply.

Wu Ming immediately found that he was too young, and as an outsider, how could Fang Youchun be so clear about the affairs of the province? Besides, Fang Youchun had been in the army for 19 years and came through the rain of bullets several times. He was a hundred times better than him in both experience and experience. What qualifications did he have to blame him?

Thinking of this, Wu Ming apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Fang, maybe I thought it too simple."

Fang Youchun grinned: "You are right. I lack the spirit of yours now. Too many people are not a good thing to worry about, and they may not be very mature. I like your temperament. Right is right, wrong is wrong, and openness is open and honest. It is our luck to be able to make friends like you!"

"Stop! I can't stand the habits of people of your era, and I'm very uncomfortable." Wu Ming waved his hands repeatedly.

"ah!?"

Fang Youchun asked in surprise: "Our era? Aren't you also in our era? Is it just because you are in a different environment?"

Wu Ming regretted it as soon as he said that he could only smile awkwardly. He saw two women looking at him, then put away his smile and suggested: "Brother Fang, we have been talking for a long time. I think you should spend more time with your sister-in-law."

"Okay, I'll go over and talk to her now. Alas! I'm jogging and moving for a long time with a big belly for me, and I'm scared day and night. In the end, I'm not by her side even having a baby. I'm sorry for her!"

Fang Youchun strode towards his wife, Wu Ming waved to Xiao Xin, and the little guy ran over excitedly. Wu Ming raised him and turned around twice, scaring the little guy screamed.
