Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 169

"Dad, do you have roast duck to eat today?"

"What does roast duck taste like!"

"Is it delicious!"

The two sons asked this and that excitedly, it seemed that Fu Tao was working as an errand in the official family, but in fact he did not earn much.

Therefore, these two children are actually not better than those ordinary children's children in terms of food and clothing.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the two children, Fu Tao felt sad for no reason, how did he deserve this father, how could he let his son not even eat a roast duck!

At this time, Xie Fengjun on the side spoke: "Go in, don't stand in front of people's doors!" The

group immediately entered Fujude, and the guy stepped forward to greet him with great insight, and then shouted: "Your distinguished guest has arrived!" "

This is both a welcome and a wake-up call for the owner.

Soon, Fu Tao met Lin Hongfei, who planned to hire himself as the captain of the gunboat and the chief instructor with a high salary.

Although he had already prepared in his heart, when Fu Tao really saw Lin Hongfei, he was still surprised by his youth, and naturally muttered in his heart, at a young age, can he have a gunboat?

Are you sure?

I don't believe it!

However, Lin Hongfei was very enthusiastic, and Fu Tao also entered the private room with Lin Hongfei with a smile, and after taking a seat, because Qian Minghe had not yet arrived, everyone chatted about some gossip.

Lin Hongfei also asked the guys to bring a few plates of preserves, dim sum, and seasonal fruits to relieve the three children's hunger, which made Fu Tao's children even more excited.

With the arrival of Qian Minghe, the atmosphere began to become more enthusiastic, and Lin Hongfei also let Lu Mengshi serve wine and food immediately!

The master who had already prepared quickly stir-fried the dishes out of the pan, and then the guys shouted Cai Ming while quickly serving plates of steaming dishes on the table.

"Come on, Director Xie, Chief Fu, try my Fujude craftsmanship, and see if it suits the tastes of the two of you!" Lin Hongfei greeted with a smile.

Fujude is now also a famous restaurant in Yanjing City, and the taste of the food naturally goes without saying, it is delicious, and naturally people can't help but show a satisfied smile.

After three rounds of drinking, when everyone was already slightly drunk, Lin Hongfei began to get to the point: "Chief Fu, you are older than me, so I will call you Brother Fu."

"You and I are not people who like to talk empty words, we both like to go straight."

"Let's be clear!"

"I need a naval talent like you to assist me now."

"Ugly things are ahead, I am only a lieutenant company commander now, even if I become a county commander, I am not qualified to give you, a lieutenant colonel of the water army, an officer and a knight."

"Therefore, when you come to work under me, your rank of lieutenant colonel is equivalent to invalidity, and it is no different from the big-headed soldier."

"However, the rank is not enough, the banknotes come together!"

"The price I gave you, I think Director Xie has already told you."

"If Brother Fu is willing to help me with things, I can give you the money now!"

Lin Hongfei said, his eyes staring directly at Fu Tao.

A lieutenant colonel went to be a lieutenant as a subordinate, which was a joke, but this joke happened in front of Fu Tao's eyes, and the party was still himself.

To say that Fu Tao doesn't care, it's a lie, but everyone who points to his face has to care.

But the problem is, the face of this thing, it can't be exchanged for money!

Fu Tao was good-looking before, and he would not endure the humiliation of outsiders, so every step he took in the army was very bumpy.

If Fu Tao is still alone now, I am afraid that he will say 'Fuck your uncle's Lin Hongfei' on the spot, and then flick his sleeves away.

But now, he has a wife and three children, and he thinks not for himself, but also for his family.

Your own face, your family's life.

Fu Tao glanced at the two sons who were eating with mouths full of oil, a complicated expression flashed on his face, for a long time, he sighed and decided to abandon the former and choose the latter.

In addition, Fu Tao felt that he was doing things under Lin Hongfei by relying on his own skills to earn money, rather than through the dirty way of corruption and bribery in the water army.

So, Fu Tao nodded: "Okay, I promised!" Hearing

this, Lin Hongfei laughed several times, his heart was extremely happy, with the addition of Fu Tao, a naval talent, his gunboat was finally useful!

Of course, this is not enough, Lin Hongfei also intends to let Fu Tao serve as the chief instructor, so as to cultivate a group of water army talents loyal to him.

The matter was decided, Lin Hongfei also handed over the settlement fee to Fu Tao as promised, and Fu Tao, who got so much money for the first time, his hands were trembling!

My own hard life is over!

In the following days, Lin Hongfei, under the leadership of Fu Tao, collected more than 30 officers and soldiers in Beijing and Jinmen who had also been squeezed out and retreated from within the water army.

With these people, his own gunboat is not a decoration, but a big killer in the inland river basin!

If anyone dares to croak with Lin Hongfei, the 152MM main gun will teach them how to behave!

The reason why Lin Hongfei worked tirelessly to follow Fu Tao around and recruit people was not because he was idle and had nothing to do.

If Fu Tao is allowed to go out to recruit people by himself, Lin Hongfei can certainly save a lot of effort, but the question is, is this group of people recruited by Fu Tao grateful to him Lin Hongfei or grateful to Fu Tao?

It must be Fu Tao, after all, it was Fu Tao who gave them a way to live.

But if Fu Tao took himself to meet these people, then Fu Tao would only play the role of a middleman, and these people were only grateful to him, but to Lin Hongfei.

Therefore, even if he was tired, Lin Hongfei had to personally recruit these people.

As for their salaries, Lin Hongfei deliberately increased their original military salaries by 50% in order to let them leave their families and businesses and willingly follow him to Lingnan Province, thousands of miles away.

This naturally made them more willing to follow Lin Hongfei, and without Lin Hongfei's urging, these people planned to pack their bags, leave their hometowns, and follow Lin Hongfei straight to the territory of Lingnan Province.

Lin Hongfei asked these people to settle down at home first, and when Lin Hongfei sent a telegram, Fu Tao led the team, and everyone went directly to Lu Province to meet him.

Immediately afterwards, he traveled south to the Yangtze River basin and traveled west along the river to Jiangdu County to take up his post.

When recruiting sailors and soldiers in Jinmen before, Lin Hongfei met with Li Jinlong along the way and discussed the establishment of a dyeing factory.

Li Jinlong naturally agreed with his mouth, patting his chest to guarantee that his brother's dyeing factory was opened in Jinmen, and no one would come to make trouble!

After taking care of everything, Lin Hongfei took Wu Yushu to Lu Province with confidence, preparing to solve the recruitment matter as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also asked Ding Dehu, Chen Deshan, and Wang Deming to return to Cangshi to recruit a group of honest and obedient young people with good fists and feet, and then they would go to Lu Province to find their rendezvous.

"The city of martial arts."

"A strong man from Lu Province."

"The land snake of Jiangdu County?"

"Hehe, I can beat it out!"
