In 1838, the eighteenth year of Daoguang, the year of Wuxu, and May of the summer.

It was early in summer, and it was less than six o'clock, and the fish belly was white in the east. The sky was a little brighter. A loud horn broke the silence of dawn and echoed over Yuanqiyixue. This was the waking number! Sixteen-year-old Fan Xiaolu was shocked and quickly turned over and got up. She quickly put on her shorts and then rushed out of the dormitory like a wind and ran towards the Dacaoping.

He didn't have long been admitted to Yixue, only four days, but he knew clearly that he would be punished if he had slowed down in the morning. After the Dacaoping gathering and calling it, he ran on a routine run, running around a wide dirt road outside Yuanqiyi School for two laps. This was fatal, and it took him half an hour to run.

After running two laps in anger, he returned to Yixue. Fan Xiaolu seized the time to wash up, then returned to the dormitory and sorted out his housework quickly, and then sat in a regular manner to wait for breakfast. He was from Jiangxi. His family was affected by the disaster in the spring of this year. He was sold to a passing tea merchant and was sent here.

Through the past few days of understanding, he knew that this was a Yixue School opened by the famous Yuanqi Bank in Guangzhou, but he felt that this place did not look like Yixue. Although he had never entered Yixue, he knew what Yixue looked like. There was Yixue in their town, but this Yuanqi Yixue was very strange, completely different from the Yixue in their town.

Here, they only have half a day to read and read, and half a day either train or work. In addition to running, they also have to learn to swim, climb bamboo poles, and also have some fresh training, such as pull-ups, sit-ups, etc., as well as work, building roads, planting trees, picking ups, carrying wood, etc.

Reading here is different from the Yixue in their town. He taught here, learned pinyin, taught Mandarin, learned to recognize words and write, learned to arithmetic, memorized the three-character scripture, multiplication formula table, etc. He also found that there were many foreigners in this Yixue. He heard that it was a gentleman, and the foreigner master's doctrine, but he heard that it was the first time he heard about it.

However, the food here is surprisingly good. There are three meals a day, and the breakfast is two large white flour steamed buns, two eggs, a bowl of soy milk, and thick white rice porridge. There are white rice at noon and evenings, and white rice without mixing a little grain. There is always a meat dish for eight people and four dishes.

He grew up so old that he had eaten meat less than a single slap in his hand since he could remember. However, he could eat meat every day, and the wealthy families in their town were not so generous.

To be honest, he liked it very much, but he didn't know why the tea merchant who bought it sent him here, and he didn't know how long he could stay here. He asked a few students who were about the same size as him. Everyone's situation was similar. Almost all of them were bought and sent there. Moreover, there were many places, including Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and others from Yunnan and Guizhou. However, everyone was confused and no one could explain it clearly.

He was in a daze when the squad leader Wang Liqiu walked in quickly and saw that he was the only one in the dormitory. He hurriedly said, "Don't sit stupidly, hurry up and sort out the internal affairs. The principal will come to check the internal affairs in person today."

"Oh." Fan Xiaolu quickly got up, and asked curiously while cleaning up, "Principal...Who is it?"

Wang Liqiu casually said: "The principal is the chief of the mountain, the president of our Yuanqiyi School, and naturally the principal of Yuanqiyi School is the shopkeeper of Yuanqiyi."

Storekeeper Yi Da! Fan Xiaolu immediately became excited and came to Yuanqi Yixue. The one he heard the most talked about was the storekeeper of Yuanqi, Yi Zhizu. He said curiously: "Shopkeeper Yi Da is coming to our dormitory? I heard that he is only eighteen years old?"

"Who told you that I was only eighteen years old, and I am already twenty years old this year." Wang Liqiu said while folding a quilt squarely like a piece of tofu, and said while folding it: "Look carefully, all the quilts should be folded like this."

Wang Liqiu looked one or two years older than them. He was usually serious and it was rare to see him. Everyone was a little afraid of him. Seeing that he seemed easy to talk to today, Fan Xiaolu couldn't help asking, "How long can we stay here?"

"I don't know." Wang Liqiu said in a muffled voice. He really didn't know. He himself didn't know how long he would stay here. Unlike the young men, he was not bought. He was an apprentice of Yuanqi Bank. After Yuanqi Yixue was inaugurated, he was sent to Yuanqi Yixue and learned the erotic language from foreigners. There were more than a hundred apprentices like him, all of whom were between thirteen and fourteen and seventeen or eighteen years old.

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to touch on this topic, Fan Xiaolu shut her mouth tactfully and carefully learned how to fold the quilt. He really couldn't figure out why he had to fold the quilt so squarely. However, I have to say that everything in the dormitory was arranged neatly and organized, and it really looked very comfortable.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, a small boat slowly approached the pier outside Yuanqiyixue. Yi Zhizu was wearing a blue-gray long gown, with his hands on his back, looking at Yuanqiyixue hidden by the green trees, and his heart was filled with joy.

Although Yuanqi Yixue has just taken shape, with his investment of no matter how much it costs, it will inevitably be changing with each passing day and develop rapidly. After three or four years, it will be able to continuously provide talents for him. At that time, he can form his own private armed forces, and even in troubled times, he will be able to protect himself.

He selected more than 120 people from the money shop apprenticeship and put them into Yixue under the guise of learning the erudition and further study. This is not only to cultivate talents for Yuanqi, but also to cultivate the backbone of the private army. Only in this way can he guarantee absolute control over the private army, and he does not want to make wedding dresses for others.

"Young Master" Li Wang stretched out his head and reminded: "There is a Clipper behind him, and it seems that he is chasing us."

"Oh?" Yi Zhizu looked back and recognized the Wu family's clutch at a glance, and immediately ordered: "Stop and wait."

The Clippers behind came quickly and soon caught up. Wu Changqing walked out of the cabin and smiled and said, "Brother Zhizu makes it so hard to chase him..."

Yi Zhizu said: "Is there something urgent?"

"Grandpa, please come to the house for a lecture." Wu Changqing said: "Robert wrote from the United States that there was a huge economic panic in the United States last year."
