Fang Hua, this name is the same as the name of an old artist who passed away in this time and space. However, the reason why Teacher Fang’s father gave his son this name was because he hoped that his son would become a chemist.
As for Teacher Fang's resignation from the middle school in that county, he was actually expelled from the school.
The specific reason is very simple. In order to raise the medical expenses for his wife who had pancreatic cancer, Fang Hua had to give paid substitute lessons outside the school for several years. Because Teacher Fang’s teaching level is very good, his fees are not low.
But what happened a few years later was the sad death of his wife.
If it were just like this, that would be fine. The same joys and sorrows are going on every moment in different cities.
Many middle-aged men who have lost their wives find a new wife in a few years and slowly get over their grief.
But Fang Hua is still an orphan. His daughter died in a car accident when he was twelve years old. Now his wife is gone, leaving him alone.
Since the death of his wife, Fang Hua can no longer live like a normal person. Whenever he is alone, tears will flow down uncontrollably. Even if the sky is bright and the sun is shining brightly outside, and the school is full of spring scenery, in his eyes
His eyes were filled with ruins and mist.
Under the intertwining of loneliness, guilt, sadness, anger and various complex emotions, Fang Hua had nowhere to talk, and his once good colleagues, students, neighbors and friends all became strangers.
Countless times, the thought of suicide lingered in Fang Hua's mind; but in the end, he never walked up to the rooftop and did not have the courage to jump to end his painful life.
And if this state lasts for a long time, it will naturally have an impact on the other teacher's status as a tutor. Therefore, as the performance of those tutoring students declines, some parents choose to find a new teacher, and some parents choose to report on them to vent their anger.
The resentment in my heart.
In this way, a man who was once a good teacher and a good husband in the eyes of his colleagues and students was expelled from the school because he had given paid (high-priced) substitute lessons outside the school for many years, stepped on the red line of the policy, and was expelled from the school.
Fang Hua felt that since he didn't want to commit suicide, he should change his life in a different environment; it would be best to stay far away from this sad place and never come back.
In this sense, Fang Hua and Chen Qingsong are actually the same kind of people. They both try to escape from everything they are familiar with and try to start over with a new look.
It is said that Zhao Xin once reminded his cousin that as long as the conditions for applying for the job are basically suitable, he will invite him to come to Beijing for a second interview. Although he does not have to have good food and drinks, the accommodation must be arranged well, so as not to let others regard us as liars.
Cousin Cheng Wen has been doing very smoothly since he returned to China to help Zhao Xin handle domestic affairs. He has gradually come out of the shadow of divorce and is busy with Zhao Xin's various orders almost every day.
As a result, this guy used too much force this time. As soon as he heard from his cousin that he wanted to arrange accommodation, he immediately asked an acquaintance to book a room in a five-star hotel on the first floor of a foreign-related hotel for three weeks. This was because he considered giving
Those who pass the interview have to wait for several days while applying for a visa to go abroad.
Don't think that five-star hotels must be expensive. Since it's the off-peak tourist season, and the hotel's facilities are a bit old, the internal price given by acquaintances is also very cheap. Anyway, it's vacant, so it would be nice to rent it out.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Wen's move made a group of candidates who passed the initial interview feel that this company was really good and could actually book an entire floor of rooms in a five-star hotel. The original doubts disappeared with the comfortable environment of the five-star hotel.
.
In the next few days, as candidates who passed the initial test from all over the country arrived one after another, the entire floor of the reserved rooms was quickly filled.
Fang Hua's roommate was a middle school mathematics teacher in his fifties named You. Teacher You resigned from his job to apply for the job. The reason for his resignation was because he gave a disobedient student a slap on the back of his head.
hand.
It is said that before the mid-1980s, it was completely normal for teachers to slap those students who were disobedient in class. And no parents would say that teachers should not spank, they would only say that you should spank your children if they disobey.
It's okay. Many students will not regret their teachers when they become adults, but only regret themselves for being disobedient at that time.
But now...
In Teacher You’s view, today’s students are all ancestors! Many teachers joked to themselves that they killed pigs in their previous life and taught in this life! So Teacher You angrily resigned under the “complaints” and unreasonable claims from the students’ parents. I quit.
!
In addition, Teacher You is still an old virgin and has never been married. The single old Comrade You has some strange habits that make Teacher Fang, who lives in the same room with him, dumbfounded.
Fang Hua has seen some people who eat boiled eggs instead of the yolks, but he has never seen anyone take the egg yolks back to the guest room and put them in the center of the toilet sink! The placement is so neat.
Meticulous.
There are many such people. In this dazzling era, they are not wasteful of the times. They are just too immersed in the past time and cannot understand some of the things now. Many people are in their former positions.
He has made quite a lot of achievements.
As a result, this group of people got together because of Zhao Xin.
…
In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong's reign, at 7 a.m. on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, as the whistle sounded on the Thor, all the personnel who were going to Ezo began to board the ship.
On the beach not far away, Wang Changsheng, who was about to rub salt on the fish, looked at the crowd cheering on the pier and asked Xu Dayong behind him: "Brother, who are you going to beat?"
Due to his outstanding work performance these days, Xu Dayong has been promoted from an ordinary kipper to the captain of the "Kicker Team". He waved a wooden stick in his hand, looked around, and said with envy: "I heard that we are going to
Go hunting for some shrimp or something."
"Oh!" Wang Changsheng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said longingly: "Shrimp? It seems that the size and quantity of shrimp in that place must be quite large, otherwise the master would not send so many people."
Xu Dayong ignored the other party's nonsense and glanced around at the workers before saying, "I heard that the monthly salary of these Japanese soldiers costs five taels of silver."
"What? Five taels! Brother, when are we going to be soldiers? I rub salt into the fish every day, and I still smell like salted fish after taking a bath every day."
Several former pirate subordinates were shocked. The treatment of these Japanese soldiers must have been too good.
"How the hell do I know! Just do your best. I'll ask that manager Lu when I have time." After Xu Dayong finished speaking, he gestured with the wooden stick in his hand, imitating the Beihai Town soldiers who raised their guns and aimed.
Look.
On the pier, Zhao Xin and two soldiers stood in front of the trestle, watching the soldiers pass by one by one.
After several months of training, these soldiers have become somewhat like modern soldiers in terms of walking, sitting, lying and marching in formation. With regular target shooting training every week, their performance is slowly improving.
"Even if they train in battle, it will take another half a year before these people can be considered soldiers." Wang Yuanfang explained to Zhao Xin. No way, the quality of refugees in this era is like this, regardless of the Qing Dynasty or the island country.
After all the troops were on board, it was the medical team and the migrant workers team led by Dr. Hong. A Miao was forced to stay by Director Liu because she was too young. Hong Tao led a rescue team this time composed of women from an archipelago country. After several months of training by Hong Tao and his wife, basic first aid treatment was no longer a problem. In order to keep Hong Tao in good condition, Zhao Xin specially set aside the first mate's room on the Thor for him to rest.
Behind the medical team is the construction team carrying shovels, picks and other small tools. These workers who were selected by Chen Qingsong to go to Ezo will receive a war allowance of one bushel of rice every day. So when boarding the ship, everyone All excited.
Shen Xuan and the Xu brothers stood at the back of the crowd seeing off the farewell. Seeing Zhao Xin waving towards her, she couldn't help but blush. Just as she was about to raise her hand, the girl's restraint made her slowly put her hand down. .
"Take care along the way." Shen Xuan murmured.
Xu Shounan and Xu Funan didn't see Shen Xuan's expression. The brothers waved excitedly to Zhao Xin. Not far away, a group of children from the school were also waving goodbye to Zhao Xin.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Thor slowly left the dock in Beihai Town and headed south. After midnight, the ship anchored in Ishikari Bay, preparing to arrange for the construction team to land after dawn in the morning.
At dawn in the morning, workers who had hurriedly eaten dry food began to assemble simple dock modules on the ship. These orange-red plastic pontoons were spliced into modules that were ten meters long and five meters wide. Then the crane on the Thor would lift these modules. The modules are lifted into the sea water, and patrol boats then tow these modules to the beach in batches.
Hundreds of workers who landed in advance will splice and reinforce the modules transported to the beach, and install the main frame, shock-absorbing sleeves, rubber buffer pads, anti-collision bars and railings.
By noon, the simple pier had begun to take shape, and a long trestle extended from the beach to the deep water area. As Deng Fei docked the ship on the trestle, Zhao Xin ordered the soldiers to order the soldiers in order in company units over the broadcast on the ship. Start disembarking and landing.
Because most of the Shachuan people had seen Huji and Jiuzang, Liu Sheng arranged for Ding Guofeng to lead the two companies to land first and go straight to the Shachuan village to contact each other.
Two hours later, Tuka and his men arrived at the beach. Seeing the lively scene and the long trestle in front of them, these Ainu people were surprised and happy.
As soon as Zhao Xin saw Tuka coming, he immediately asked him to provide a few guides to accompany Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang's team to the Matsumae Domain tax office in the plains.
In later generations, Sagawa (Otaru) was just a port satellite city of Sapporo. After the highway was built, the distance was only more than 40 miles. However, in this era, the road is not so easy, and forests, rivers, and swamps have become a barrier between the two. Earth's obstacles.
After Tuka heard that after conquering the plains, he would send troops to occupy Sulfur Mountain and Makomai in the southeast. So he immediately returned to the village and gathered a team of twenty guides. After a little preparation, he set off with Liu Sheng and the others. Followed by a construction team of 500 people and a medical team led by Hong Tao.
Zhao Xin did not follow him to the plains. He and Katsu Kaishu brought a reinforcement of 150 people to the village of the Sachuan tribe and met Katsuyama Denzo who had been here for a month. In addition to him, the Sendai clan's secret agent leader Shibata Kaku
Zang unexpectedly appeared here.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Xin was a little surprised. Does the Sendai clan also want to get involved in Ezo? This is not possible!
Shibata Kakuzo saluted Zhao Xin and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhao and Boss Katsuyama are going to do business together, and Mr. Igumori asked me to come over and take a look."
"Ishikawamura Bun?"
"Yes." Shibata Kakuzo was a little annoyed that Zhao Xin called the elder of the family by his first name. But he also knew that the evil spirit in front of him could not even be taken seriously by the shogunate, let alone a elder of the family with only 380 shi.
"What do you want to see?"
"Last time, my lord, you proposed a plan to reduce the debts of our vassals, so everyone in this vassal is very curious and wants to see how you operate it."
MMP! Sure enough, I didn’t hold it in well.
Even though Endo Moribu said he would not interfere, when they returned to Aoba Castle, this matter quickly caused an uproar within the domain.
What an anecdote from ancient to modern times, someone actually wanted to help all the feudal lords pay off their debts!
Soon, someone heard that the person responsible for contacting this matter was the newly promoted Mesuke-sama. Now, the threshold of the Shibata family has been crossed! A group of lower-level samurai come to the house every day and ask insinuating questions, but Shibata
Jue Zang was very annoyed.
Finally, even the "Zhacha Zhuzhongjian" businessmen who were lending money were alerted and came to see him one after another.
Ishikawamura Fumi, the elder of the pen family, originally wanted to keep this matter a secret. But he also didn’t want to think about how someone would be able to sit still if such a big pie fell into the Sendai Domain!
In order to avoid the crowds of people who came to consult every day, Shibata Kakuzo requested to follow Katsuyama Denzo to investigate. The old fox Endo Morinobu was also curious about how Tang Yi would operate this matter, so he agreed.
After listening to Shibata Kakuzo's explanation, Zhao Xin snorted and said to Shibata Kakuzo very seriously: "Shibata-kun is an acquaintance, so it doesn't hurt to take a look. But you can tell those elders for me.
, this is not something you can get your hands on!"
Looking at the Beihai Town soldiers around him holding "repeated iron cannons", Shibata Kakuzo didn't dare to say anything even if he had other ideas, he could only keep bowing and saying yes.
Regardless of the fact that Tang Yi doesn't have many soldiers, the Sendai clan may not be able to defeat them if they use all their troops. Forget it, you should just live a good life.
After talking with Katsuyama Denzo, Zhao Xin learned that the exploration team sent by the other party had been setting off for twenty days.
In order not to be discovered by the Matsumae clan, the exploration team of more than 200 people took the route of crossing the Shahe River to the north and then east, over the Rishi Mountain, and finally arrived at Yubari.
Zhao Xin looked up a modern map and saw that there was no such road even in later generations. Moreover, the Yubari side was full of mountains. What Zhao Xin had given Katsuyama Denzo before was only the locations of several mine pits in later generations, and they were not accurate.
Judging from this situation, the exploration team will not be able to come back for less than two months.
However, Katsuyama Denzo also gained a lot during his month here. In addition to hundreds of animal skins, this guy actually also obtained a lot of alluvial gold.
"Where did it come from?" Zhao Xin grabbed a handful of alluvial gold from the leather bag and watched the golden gold slipping from his fingers. He felt that the purity was not low.
"There is a tribe in the north called Rurumoppe." Katsuyama Denzo said proudly.
Zhao Xin thought about it for a while, but he had no impression. Forget it, leave this benefit to the two partners. As long as they don't get involved in Defu Island.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, two Ainu people of the Sagawa tribe and a soldier who reported the news returned to the village.
The Sapporo Tax Office was captured! None of the officials sent by the Matsumae Domain, the merchants at the warehouse, or the ronin in charge of the guards escaped.
It would have been fine if that was the case, but what the soldier said next made Zhao Xin stunned.
The Sapporo tribe who participated in the attack took advantage of Liu Sheng and others not paying attention, and actually killed all the ronai and merchants!
