Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

It just snowed heavily the day before yesterday, and other places have accumulated quite thick snow, but this vegetable market is full of people, and the people coming and going have trampled the snow muddy. There is only a man in gorgeous clothes. A rich lord, sitting on the ground like a child, was the one who made the pig-killing howl, and many people surrounded him, who seemed to be his entourage, kneeling or standing, one after another talking about something.

To Lin Yuan's surprise, there was a young woman kneeling in front of this man. She was wearing patched single clothes, knelt in the muddy water, and kowtowed to the man. It dripped down, and the woman didn't care to wipe it off. Behind the woman, there was a four or five-year-old child hiding, trembling with fright, holding the woman's clothes tightly with both hands.

Lin Yuan felt it was strange, so he walked forward. The strange thing is, logically speaking, such a scene must be surrounded by people watching the fun, but at this time, everyone was watching from a distance, so Lin Yuan didn't care about it. After struggling to come to the man's side, it was only then that he heard what the man shouted clearly.

The man turned out to be facing more than a dozen pieces of purple sand fragments and a large piece of vermilion gravel on the ground in front of him, crying desperately: "My heart! Why did you abandon my brother!"

The attendants said one after another: "My lord, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, be careful to freeze your body."

The woman kowtowed like a chicken pecking at broken rice, and kept saying, "My lord, please spare the slave family."

Lin Yuan listened for a long time but didn't hear Mingtang, and he didn't know what the purple sand fragments and vermilion gravel were, so he pulled a entourage over and asked, "This old man, dare I ask what's wrong?"

I didn't expect that man's ear to be quite sharp. Hearing Lin Yuan's question, he turned his head and said angrily, "What's wrong? My baby is dead! Look, it's all like this." Saying this, he stretched out his hand in front of Lin Yuan .

Lin Yuan looked at his hand, and couldn't help laughing. In his hand, it was a dead cricket. At this time, the attendant said: "This is our Lord Yutai. Our Lord loves a cricket. So today I made an appointment with Lu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry to judge males and females. Our adults are happy to win, but who would want to come here?" He pointed to the child hiding behind the woman and said, "I was killed by this reckless ghost. The reincarnated little servant smashed the cricket jar and killed the cricket."

Lin Yuan already understood that this woman must be the child's mother, and because she was afraid of being punished, she knelt in the muddy water and kowtowed to Yutai.

Yutai heard this while crying, turned his head and said angrily: "What crickets, they have names!"

Lin Yuan laughed inwardly when he heard this, Master Yutai even named the crickets, he pointed to the vermilion gravel on the ground and asked, "What are these?"

The entourage said: "These are cinnabar, which is the kind of thing used to stamp government documents. This thing is ground into fine powder and spread under the pot. It is the best for feeding crickets."

When Lin Yuan nodded, he saw a tall and burly follower kneeling on one knee, and said to Yu Tai: "Master! Don't be sad, let's let this little slave pay for the life of the master's treasure, shall we?"

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought: "It's too bullying, I'll let someone pay for my life just because of a bug."

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, Yutai stretched out his hand and slapped that attendant on the head, crying, "You bastard slave, how can you let someone pay for your life for a plaything!"

When Lin Yuan heard this, he thought that Yutai was reasonable. At this time, Yutai stood up from the ground, wiped his tears, and said, "Put my baby away, and go to Jingxi to buy a good cemetery, and bury it properly." .”

After finishing speaking, he led the people away regardless of the woman and child. Looking at his back, Lin Yuan suddenly thought: "Yutai, this name is so familiar, isn't he the leader of Shenji Camp? If you can't find a breakthrough from this trivial matter, get the guns from their Shenji Battalion!"

At this moment, the child's weak voice came from the side: "Mom, I'm hungry."

The woman wiped her tears and said softly, "When mom sells these vegetables, let's go buy some rice. Remember, make porridge for grandma to eat first."

As she said that, when she turned her head, she suddenly exclaimed: "Where's my food?" Tears that had just been wiped away poured out again, and Lin Yuan understood at this moment that someone took advantage of her kneeling and begging for mercy, Steal her food.

The surrounding crowd is bustling, where can I find her food!

Lin Yuan walked over, took out a piece of silver, and gave it to the woman. The woman left gratefully. Lin Yuan thought helplessly, "I can help her, but in the whole of China, such a woman is not good enough." Do you know how many more?"

When Lin Yuan returned home, he began to write the memorial by hand. In the north in winter, it got dark very early, so Lin Yuan lit the oil lamp. The dim light made him very uncomfortable.

At this moment, the door curtain was raised, Guan'er walked in and asked, "Aren't you leaving tonight?"

Lin Yuan nodded and replied, "I want to write a memorial and hand it in tomorrow."

Guan'er came over curiously and asked, "What are you writing?"

Lin Yuan said: "This is a memorial. I want to unite various industrial, mining and military enterprises in the Qing Dynasty, so that we will have more weapons."

Guan'er nodded half-understood. Seeing that Guan'er was wearing a big fur coat and a fox fur scarf, Lin Yuan knew that she was going out. Seeing that it was getting dark, he couldn't help asking, "It's getting dark today." , where are you going?"

Guan'er said happily: "Lafayette told me to go to bed."

Lin Yuan asked: "Are you so happy to ask you to serve others?"

Guan'er smiled and said: "Of course I'm happy, others want to serve Lafayette but they can't." After finishing speaking, Guan'er turned around and left.

Lin Yuan worked half the night and finally finished writing, and then sent someone to send him to the palace.

After sending it, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel hopeless. Although this matter is said to be very beneficial, after all, the stalls are too large to be completed. Ten years ago, Fujian governor Ding Richang wrote a letter, intending to transfer the Tianjin Machinery Bureau and Jiangnan Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The three military enterprises of the General Administration and the Fujian Ship Administration Bureau have been combined in one place, and the imperial court has not agreed, not to mention that now I want to combine twenty or thirty factories and mines together.

While waiting for news at home, Lin Yuan called the housekeeper over and asked, "Do you know that Yutai?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "How can I not know? That is the commander of the Shenji Camp. Didn't he invite you last time? I turned him down, and he is still very upset."

Lin Yuan asked again: "Then does this Yutai have any hobbies?"

The butler was delighted when he heard it, and said: "Almost the whole capital knows that this Yutai has two hobbies, one is playing crickets, and the other is smoking fushou ointment."

Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask in detail, he saw an old mother running from outside, ignoring that Lin Yuan was talking to the housekeeper.Lin Yuan knew that this old mother was usually the most kind and stable person, seeing her panicked, he couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

The old mother glanced at the butler, who didn't understand anything!She hurriedly said that she had something to dodge, and then the old mother said: "My lord, you can go and have a look, Miss Guan'er, you have been beaten."
