Afterwards, Wen Ta Niang learned from Li Jie that Chuan Wu wanted to join the insurance team. Although she didn't want Chuan Wu to join the insurance team from the bottom of her heart, this matter was decided jointly by Li Jie and Zhu Kaishan.
As a traditional woman, Wen Ta Niang did not raise any clear objection even though she was reluctant.
After howling excitedly for a few times, Chuanwu ran up to Li Jie, showed a flattering smile, and rubbed his hands.
"Brother, when are you going to teach me how to shoot?"
Li Jie glanced at him and said calmly: "In a few days, when the gun I bought arrives, you and Da Jinli will learn together."
Last time he went to Fengtian, Li Jie bought hundreds of guns, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and several rapid-fire cannons. Of course, he couldn't bring back so many things by himself. After all, he didn't have the legendary storage space.
What's more, so many arms are somewhat sensitive, and most people really don't dare to transport them. Fortunately, the seller provides free shipping. Calculating the days, this batch of arms will be shipped to Yuanbao Town in three to five days.
A few days later, the arms arrived at Yuanbao Town smoothly. After receiving the arms, Li Jie brought a sealed letter to Xia Yuanzhang, saying that he could make an appointment with the Chamber of Commerce.
Xia Yuanzhang acted quickly and asked Chuanjie to bring back the news that night, telling Li Jie that the matter had been settled and that he would invite Li Jie and members of the Yuanbao Town Chamber of Commerce to Deyue Tower tomorrow night.
Deyuelou is the largest restaurant in Yuanbao Town, and it is also one of the highest-end restaurants in Yuanbao Town. A meal there will cost a family of five about three months of living expenses.
…
…
…
Deyue Tower, third floor.
As the organizer, Xia Yuanzhang stepped forward without hesitation and introduced himself to the bosses.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is Zhu Chuanwen, little brother Zhu."
Li Jie raised his hands to everyone and said, "Dear bosses, Zhu is new here. Could you please take care of me?"
The old man in rich clothes sitting at the main seat looked at Li Jie with a smile. When he saw Li Jie's hairstyle, he couldn't help but secretly glance at an old man in a mandarin jacket on the table next to him.
At this time, the old man in a mandarin jacket didn't look very good, his eyes were so wide that he almost blew his beard.
Seeing this scene, the old man in rich clothes couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and praised Li Jie with a smile.
"He is truly a talented person."
Li Jie turned his eyes when he heard this, looked at the old man, and cupped his hands towards him.
He knew this old man. According to the information provided by Xia Yuanzhang, his name was Qiu Song. He was the president of the Yuanbao Town Chamber of Commerce. He was very powerful and the Qiu family was involved in all profitable businesses.
Not only that, the Qiu family also has many connections in Fengtian. It is said that this person also has a close relationship with the nephew of Zhao Erxun, the current Shengjing general.
General Shengjing, whose full name is "General who guards Shengjing and other places", is a first-grade military officer and is the highest military and political officer in charge of Fengtian and other places.
In two years' time, this position will be changed to the 'Governor of the Three Eastern Provinces', the highest official of the three Eastern Provinces.
Shengjing, as the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, had special significance to the Qing Dynasty. As the highest official of Shengjing, Zhao Erxun was definitely a big shot in the Qing government.
The rise of Zhang Zuolin, the historical king of Northeast China, is inseparable from Zhao Erxun's appreciation.
Therefore, being able to talk to such a person, Qiu Song is naturally the well-deserved leader in Yuanbao Town.
On the other side, Li Jie noticed Qiu Song's little movements, and out of the corner of his eye, Li Jie saw the old man in a mandarin jacket who was 'taunted' by Qiu Song.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Before coming to the banquet, Xia Yuanzhang had introduced the members of the Chamber of Commerce to Li Jie. This old man in a mandarin jacket was none other than Nawen's uncle, a serious bannerman with an extraordinary background.
However, the county magistrate was not as good as taking charge now. Even though the old man in the mantle still had royal blood in his body, he was still suppressed by Qiu Song.
Upon hearing Qiu Song's compliment, Nahe immediately returned the favor and let out a cold snort.
"snort!"
Immediately, Na He raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Jie's hair coldly, and asked.
"Where's your braid?"
Although this person was Nawen's uncle, Li Jie was too lazy to pay attention to him and made up a nonsensical reason.
"Burned."
"you!"
Although Na He had contracted the bad habit of smoking, he was not stupid. Naturally, he heard the perfunctoriness in Li Jie's words and was immediately furious.
"What a courage!"
After the Manchus entered the customs, they issued an order to "shave their hair and change their crowns." After the decree was promulgated, the Qing soldiers attacked everywhere and forced all the people under the rule to shave their hair. Those who had long hair would have them shaved, and those who refused would be beheaded and their heads hung.
He was shown to the public on a high pole tied to a shaved head.
However, in the late Qing Dynasty, with the continuous influx of Western ideas, the issue of braid cutting was not as sensitive as it was in the early Qing Dynasty.
Nowadays, many international students in Japan have cut off their braids, and many local officials have turned a blind eye to the practice. As early as the 24th year of Guangxu's reign, Kang Youwei proposed to Emperor Guangxu to abolish the braids.
However, Emperor Guangxu was obviously not courageous enough, and this proposal was not approved.
However, Kang Youwei was not punished.
At this moment, Qiu Song suddenly spoke.
"That officer, you are wrong."
Na He glanced sideways at Qiu Song and said threateningly: "What? Do you want to protect him?"
"How dare you, how dare you!"
Qiu Song smiled and waved his hand, then said.
"Didn't this guy just say that his hair was burned off?"
Da Jinli suddenly jumped out, raised his hand and spoke: "Yes! I can prove it! The boss broke into the sea of fire to save me in Laojingou. At that time, the boss's hair was burned off. Months passed.
, it took a long time to grow so much."
Qiu Song laughed, pointed at Li Jie, and said: "Look? This guy didn't cut his hair on purpose, but to save people. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. As for braids,
The question is completely irrelevant."
"Haha, if you insist on insisting on this issue, you should go to Fengtian. There are more people cutting braids there, and they do it openly!"
"snort!"
Nahe snorted coldly, tilted his head, and looked like he was too lazy to pay attention to you.
Qiu Song did not lie. Reformists and overseas students were the main force in cutting braids. Influenced by them, many middle school students have also begun to cut braids. This phenomenon is not uncommon.
As Na He was scolded, Li Jie secretly cast a "grateful" look at Qiu Song. After all, he had saved him.
Li Jie also had some guesses as to why Qiu Song helped him.
This is the largest capitalist in Yuanbao Town. The more serious the banditry, the greater the impact on the Qiu family's business. The establishment of a security team will obviously be beneficial to the Qiu family.
