Chapter 32 Family Empire

Contrary to the expectations of Song Laosan who was beside him, Shao Quanzhong did not get angry when he heard that his parents were being charged protection money.

Instead, he asked Shao Quanxiao with a smile, "How much did they take? I suspect that Dad is too stingy because he is used to being poor and can't bear to spend the money."

Bullies are not bandits. They support servants and collect protection fees, and generally have the responsibility to maintain local order. If they don't collect much, it's not a big deal.

The imperial power of our Qing Dynasty does not extend to the countryside. The people want stability. If they don't pay money to the gangsters, they have to pay money to the bullies. They have to rely on one or the other. It is impossible not to pay.

Shao Quanxiao muttered, "It's because this Liu Erguai is so unruly that he doesn't know how much to charge for protection money. Seeing that our family has just bought a house and has money, he wants to charge a hundred taels."

"One hundred taels, not too much, just pay it."

The old Shao family just received an unexpected income of 1,000 taels, so taking out a protection fee for the transaction was nothing.

"Brother, you are too cowardly.

Back then, Yang Yong dared to go to Tongzhou to collect protection fees. At that time, even Liu Erguaizi didn't dare to offend Yang Yong. He didn't dare to collect money from people who had been collected by Yang Yong. How come you are even more cowardly than Yang Yong?"

Shao Quanzhong patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, our family is not short of that hundred taels.

We can't be like Yang Yong and just stare at the little money. We are stronger than Liu Erguaizi now, but it's not the time to deal with him yet.

Liu Erguaizi is a little far from here. If we want to deal with him, we can either fight him or kill him with one blow. But we are not sure we can kill him with one blow.

Come here and concentrate on studying. Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, from now on, the three states of Tongtai and Yangzhou will belong to our Shao family."

Shao Quanxiao shuddered. He just wanted his brother to deal with Liu Erguaizi to vent his anger, but his brother looked cowardly and smiled, but he was planning to kill him in one go.

Forget it, I'd better go study.

Zhang Siwen stood silently behind the three Shao brothers until they finished talking to Shao Quanzhong. He just smiled and said, "Brother, I'm back."

Automatically stood behind Shao Quanzhong.

Le Xiucai automatically came forward and said, "My Lord, the dormitories for these children have been arranged. I will take them there right away."

"Brother Le, you've always told me that you want to lead troops, so now I'll give you the chance.

These sixty children will form a Boy Scout Group, and you will be the leader. Before we buy the teaching aids, train them for a few days at the intensity of the regular army, and I will see the results. "

Ah? You want me to be the leader of the children?

Le Sen was about to refuse, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he stood at attention, "I promise to complete the mission!"

Shao Quanzhong patted Le Sen's shoulder and smiled without saying anything. Well, scholars are smart and have quick reactions.

It was already late, so Shao Quanzhong went straight back to Shao's house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his three younger brothers in the house and immediately got angry.

"You guys, move out now!"

"Brother, how did we offend you?"

"Go find Mr. Le and tell him I said to put you together with those boy scouts."

Shao Quanxiao was unhappy. "It's written on the gate of this village that it's Shao's Village. It belongs to us, right? Why can't I live in the Shao's house?"

"How foolish! Look at Mr. Le, he is much smarter than you."

Shao Quanzhong's expression suddenly became kind, "You guys, if you don't understand, just listen to me and move now!
Remember, take good care of those children.

You don't have my ability to win people's hearts, so just be sincere and treat them as brothers, eat and live together, share the joys and sorrows with them, and absolutely don't treat them specially.

I have to train the troops and don't have time to spend with these children. If we want them to be loyal to our Shaw Group in the future, it all depends on you."

It seemed that the three brothers still didn't quite understand, but the honesty and kindness of the Shao family took effect, so they obediently packed up their bags and moved out.

Looking at the backs of the three brothers, Shao Quanzhong nodded, "Although they are not smart enough, they are naturally kind and honest, so they should still be useful."

The three brothers carried their luggage to the barracks. Shao Quanxiao muttered, "We're here now, how can we still have a place?"

"Hey, why did you three come just now? Come, come, the place is ready for you. Hey, hey, you can't live together, didn't the lord tell you?
Come on, each of the three sentries has reserved a place for you." The three brothers obediently found their own beds, and heard Le Xiucai blowing the whistle, "Assemble!
Let me introduce them to you. This is the sentry chief of the first sentry, Shao Quanxiao. This is the sentry chief of the second sentry, Shao Quanren. This is the sentry chief of the third sentry, Shao Quanyi.

From now on, if you have any issues, please consult them. If you need anything, please contact them and report to me. Got it?"

The children raised their sixty innocent little faces and nodded in unison. These three brothers were much older than us, and it seemed that they would be our leaders in the future.

As soon as the three brothers arrived at the military camp, they were appointed as sentries. They were a little overwhelmed, but fortunately they were much older than the other children and behaved better than them.

They had come first and had already visited the military camp. They followed suit and said, "We will follow the captain's orders."

…………

The next morning, when Shao Quanzhong went to the mess to eat, the soldiers had already finished eating. The Boy Scouts from three sentries were walking into the mess in a not very neat line, led by the three Shao brothers.

The children sat down on the benches. Le Xiucai, deputy head of the scout group and acting leader of the Boy Scouts, stood in front with his hands behind his back and raised his voice, "Who gave you the food?"

The children looked at each other in bewilderment. The three Shao brothers had already visited the military camp for a day and knew the rules here. They immediately took the lead and shouted, "It was given by Shao Tuanzong!"

The children in southern Jiangsu are smart enough to shout along.

"Who paid for your schooling?"

"It's from Shao Tuanzong!"

History repeats itself.

"Who should we be loyal to?"

"Be loyal to General Shao!"

Shao Quanzhong, who was not far away, nodded. It seemed that Le Xiucai finally understood his intention of asking him to lead the Boy Scouts.

Although the three younger brothers didn't quite understand, they learned very quickly. It seemed that they were smart enough, but they just lacked experience in the past.

"Okay, three sentinels, serve everyone some food."

The three Shao brothers grinned. We were sentinels. Not only could we not let the soldiers serve us, we had to serve them food.

Well, my brother said that we should treat them as our brothers, so we must listen to him...

The Boy Scouts were handed over to Le Xiucai. After breakfast, Shao Quanzhong started the real training.

It was the same as training a formation, training officers first, then officers training soldiers. Shao Quanzhong taught the team leaders and tent leaders, then trained soldiers in tents, and finally trained together and against each other.

Reviewing single drills, formations, and physical training. When distributing guns, first teach how to use butter for maintenance, then the movements of holding guns, bayonet fighting, loading bullets, aiming and firing in the air, and live ammunition. Skirmish formation, crawling forward, digging trenches...

There was so much to teach, and everything had to start from scratch. It was not until the sixth day that we began our first live-fire shooting practice.

The training ground was filled with smoke and the sound of gunfire. Each soldier fired five bullets.

"report!"

Le Xiucai ran over and said, "The classroom supplies have been bought back from Shanghai."

He had to take care of logistics, follow the officers to receive training from Shao Quanzhong, and train the Boy Scouts. He was very busy, but his life was busy and fulfilling.

He became darker and thinner, and no longer looked like a scholar. However, his eyes became brighter and he looked more energetic.

Shao Quanzhong was very satisfied. Wenfuji Commercial House was very quick in its actions. Wenxiu could be my Hu Xueyan in the future...

"Report! Lord Wu Wenxi sent his servant to deliver the message."

The Wu family servants were in a panic, "A group of bandits are roaming around the Dutian Temple in the north of the city.

They called themselves the Taiping Army, were terrorizing the common people, and looting granaries, causing panic among the people in Hailing City.

Lord Wu has issued an order for your troops to quickly suppress the bandits."
