Chapter 18 People's Hearts

After a few more gossips, Yi Huan went back to the yard, and Zhou Zhennan went to find Yi Ou to discuss the rent of the shop. The shop in the north of the city was originally Dunson who was helping with him, but now he has gone to England with Yi Xin and his wife, and Zhou Zhennan has temporarily taken over it.

The next day, Zhou Zhennan went to discuss business with the general military officer Xu Jinwen (named Shixun). Xu Jinwen was quite surprised that Zhou Zhennan was willing to sell medicine to the military at a low price. What does this mean? Businessmen don’t make money, and such expensive life-saving medicines are actually willing to sell them at a cheap price.

Zhou Zhennan explained righteously: "My brothers in the army went to the battlefield to fight for their lives. If they can leave the battlefield alive, they cannot die on the hospital bed because they have no medicine, and they cannot make them both bleeding and cry."

Xu Jinwen was so proud that he patted his chest and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, if someone dares to take this medicine out and resell it, I will only ask."

After signing the drug sale contract, Zhou Zhennan took his four younger brothers to leave the military camp and return to Longhu Hall. Xu Jinwen took the contract to meet Yan Zi, "Seventh Master, you are right. Behind Zhou Zhennan is the support of the Yi family. Yesterday someone watched Zhou Zhennan go to the Yi family."

Yan Zi looked back at the matters noted on the contract and raised his lips, "The Yi family is very attentive to do things."

"The Yi family has always had a good reputation in Jizhou, and Yi Qicheng is even known as a philanthropist." Xu Jinwen told the inquiry.

"Yi Qicheng, I know that the father coach once wanted to ask him to serve as Minister of Commerce, but unfortunately he refused." Yan Zi returned the contract to him, "You can find someone you trust to keep an eye on this matter. You can't make any mistakes. Zhou Zhennan said right. You can't let your brothers get off the battlefield alive but die on the hospital bed, causing them to shed blood and tears."

"Don't worry, Seventh Master, I will be watching this matter. All medicines will be used to treat brothers, and not let a medicine flow into the black market." Xu Jinwen made a promise.

At this time, a knock on the door rang, and Yan Zi replied, "Come in."

The adjutant of Governor Yan, who came in, "Seventh Young Master, Governor invites you to come."

Yan Zi stood up, tidied up her collar, and walked outside and said, "Sexun, go and do your business."

Xu Jinwen responded and left with great strides. Yan Zihui and the adjutant went to see his father, Governor Yan. In the study, in addition to his father, Governor Yan, there was also his compatriot brother Yan Zikang who had his eyes blinded by stray bullets.

"Father, brother." Yan Zi stood back at the door and saluted.

"At home, there is no need to do this, come in." Governor Yan has seven sons and six daughters, but the ones he values ​​most is Yan Zikang. Yan Ziliang and Yan Zihui's three legitimate sons; Yan Ziliang died in battle three years ago, leaving behind a wife and a daughter. Yan Zikang led the First Infantry Division, who was the Major General Division, followed him to lead troops to fight south and north, and charged into battle. Yan Zi returned to a foreign military academy for ten years and returned to China at the beginning of last year. He is now the leader of the teaching regiment and the commander of the guard regiment.

Yan Zisi, the second son of the Yan family, and Yan Zixue, the fourth son, was also in the army. One was the major general commander of the Second Infantry Division, and the other was the commander of the artillery regiment. The third son, Yan Zizhang, was different from his father and brother. He was unintentional in political power, was passionate about Chinese traditional culture, and loved drama. After moving to Jizhou, he fought with famous artists in Liyuan. Yan Zilu, the sixth son of the Yan family, loved literature, and many articles praising Yan Governor Yan in newspapers were written by him.

Yan Zi walked back and sat down on the ring chair opposite Yan Zikang. The adjutant closed the door and guarded the door respectfully. The conversation between the father and son of the Yan family was vaguely heard from inside, and the governor Yan was asking about Yan Zikang's expansion of the army.

"Father, my brother's advice is very good, and the expansion of the army is very smooth. Now he has recruited more than 6,000 new recruits." Yan Zikang reported.

In fact, at the beginning, Yan Zikang did not agree with Yan Zikong's actions, but Yan Zikong persuaded Governor Yan, not only lifted the seal of Jizhou newspaper, but also invited famous people from Jizhou City to form a temporary government with both soft and hard work. He also paid three months' salary to teachers from Jizhou University, who had already owed half a year's salary, and gave soldiers a benevolent policy such as settlement.

Under Yan Zihui's persuasion, General Yan issued a series of new policies, which not only attracted people from all walks of life, but also the large army of Yan's army was stationed outside the city and did not disturb the people. Therefore, although Yan's army had not been stationed in Jizhou City for a short time, its reputation was better than Zhang's army.

Yan Zi smiled calmly, "The people's hearts are a very wonderful thing, and sometimes it becomes the key to the outcome."

Governor Yan touched his head and said, "I just told Old Man Zhou, who was capsized by the ship." Governor Yan had only been on his private wall for three years and knew only a limited number of words.

"Water can carry a boat, or it can overturn the boat." Yan Zihui reminded him.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means." Governor Yan nodded.

After asking about the expansion of the army, Governor Yan asked: "How is the military expenditure raising?"

Yan Zi replied: "Fifty thousand oceans have been raised."

"It's okay, how about the military rations collected?" asked Governor Yan.

Yan Zi replied: "One thousand tons of military rations have been collected, and it is still being collected."

"I won't send troops for the time being, so there is no need to be too anxious to raise military funds and collect military rations." Governor Yan led his troops to occupy Jizhou City, Jingu and other places. It would take time to completely digest it, and he did not intend to go south immediately.

Then Governor Yan asked about some things in the army and said, "Xiao Qi is doing a good job in the internal affairs, so you can do it according to your own ideas; boss, Zhang Jun's remaining soldiers should be eliminated quickly and they cannot grow stronger."

Yan Zikang and Yan Zi stood up and saluted straight and responded. Seeing that Governor Yan had no other orders, the two brothers walked out. When they reached the door, Yan Zikhui suddenly turned around and said, "Master-in-law, the second brother is coming back soon."

Governor Yan frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, "Boss, wait for the waiter to come back, tell him, if you want a woman, go to the building and alley to find her, and dare to harm those female students and good girls, don't blame me for not thinking about the father-son relationship and killing him with your own hands."

Yan Zisi, the second son of the Yan family, is the most uncontrollable among the brothers in terms of female beauty. She once snatched a beautiful female student in Shengjing, Yan Jun’s home, causing an uproar, and finally finally calmed down. Governor Yan was worried that he would have an old problem when he arrived in Jizhou City. This Jizhou City is not as good as Shengjing, and Yan Jun can cover the sky with one hand in Shengjing. Moreover, Yan Zihui also said that if he still wanted to go south, unify China, and become the president, he could not let Yan Zisi ruin Yan Jun’s reputation.

"I will tell him." Yan Zikang agreed. After leaving the study for a distance, "My brother, why should I remind my father and commander? That kid is not going to cause trouble." Yan Zikang did not have much brotherhood towards the couple's brothers, and he wanted General Yan to abandon them. After Kang Ziliang's death, he cared most about his mother, wife, daughter, and Yan Zi's younger brother. Before the rebellion, Yan Zi's sneak into Jizhou City. He firmly opposed it, because he was afraid that Yan Zi's danger would be in danger.

"Brother, do you think he can listen to his father's commander?" Yan Zi asked with a raised eyebrows.
