"Uncle is well, my nephew wishes to greet him!"
A young man flashed out from behind Luo Huo. Fu Qing looked closely to see who was Fu Yin'er who was not his nephew. He was shocked and his heart skipped a beat, as if someone had pinched him.
His legs went weak and he almost sat on the ground, but after just a few seconds he became furious and shouted at Luo Huo, "Damn it! How dare you send the young master here? You don't want your life!"
Fu Qing almost lost his mind and punched Luo Huo in the face. Luo Huo was so frightened that he quickly dodge!
Even if he killed Fu Qing today, he would not have expected to see Xiao Letian's son, his nephew, Fu Yin'er here!
The son of Xiao Letian and Huniu, Xiao Yuanzhe, whose nickname is Fu Yin'er, was born in 1868 and is exactly 8 years old this year. There is a custom in the north that Fu Yin'er is 9 years old this year!
Nine-year-old children from ordinary families have already started to help the family. In families with better conditions, these nine-year-old children have already learned three hundred thousand, which can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of teenagers.
Children from aristocratic families receive elite education freely, but they are much more precocious and intelligent than ordinary children. In addition, the nine-year-old Fu Yin'er has been well nourished and well-fed since he was a child, and he is quite tall. He looks like he must be eleven or twelve years old!
Huniu and Fuhui are equal wives legally, and there is no distinction between high and low. So from a legal and moral perspective, Fuqing is Fuyin'er's real uncle.
The world has no doubt about this. If it even doubts this, then I am afraid that there will be no so-called adopted son inheriting the family business in this world!
Fu Yin'er saluted his uncle sincerely, and this uncle was really angry and wanted to beat Luo Huo!
"You bastard! You sent the young master to such a dangerous place. If you make the slightest mistake, you will be a sinner forever..."
Luo Huo complained in his heart but did not dare to fight Fu Qing, so he could only escape to the yard and dodge back and forth. The two of them fought three times around the rockery in the garden, with Fu Yin'er still chasing after him.
"Uncle, don't be angry... It's none of Uncle Luo's business. I want to come here to study. I want to come out. My mother and uncles can't stop me, so they let me go out..."
The nephew grabbed his uncle's sleeve. No matter how angry Fu Qing was, he was afraid of hurting his precious nephew. He quickly stopped his posture, squatted on the ground and hugged Fu Yin'er's shoulders, looking at him intently.
"You are too ignorant. Where is this place? There is a war going on. How can you come here..."
Fu Yin'er smiled and said, "Uncle, you are worrying too much. This Chinese Northern Industrial Zone is the largest heavy industry base for the Chinese... and the largest industrial zone in Asia!"
"The most elite troops of the Chinese ethnic group are stationed here, controlling a vast area from Dagokou in the south to Tangshan in the north. Thirty thousand Chinese tigers are stationed here. Can't they still protect me?"
"My father has always taught me to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Even my senior brother Zai Chun in the Forbidden City studied abroad at a younger age than me. Why can't I come out and have a look?"
"What you see on paper is shallow...Uncle, you don't want your nephew to become a piece of trash who can't eat minced meat, right?"
"Hey...you are good at talking, but you are still young..."
"You're not young anymore. My father said that in a few years it will be time to rebel in adolescence..."
Fu Qing didn't know what adolescence was, and he didn't know why he wanted to be rebellious. He held Fu Yin'er like a pearl and jade, afraid of touching it at all.
Luo Huo stood aside and rubbed the shoulder that had just been punched twice and said with a wry smile, "Our young master, despite being so polite and polite as usual, if his temper gets really bad, Mrs. Tiger can't stop him!"
"Before I set off, our young master sneaked onto my battleship. He refused to leave and wanted to go to the industrial area to have a look. Finally, Madam Tiger was alerted and went to persuade her in person. As a result, Madam was so angry that she cried. I can’t persuade you to come back!”
"Haha... To be honest, our young master is really soft on the outside but strong on the inside. He has the same temperament as the head of state!"
"The head of state is like that when he's in a war. Normally, he can get along well with the big-headed soldiers. He's foul-mouthed and likes to brag. But once something big happens, who can change the head of state's mind?"
"The young master's temper is exactly the same as that of the head of state!"
The tossing was just an appetizer. Anyway, the tiredness and sleepiness that filled Fu Qing's mind were gone after a good fight. The three of them returned to the room and closed the door, leaving no outsiders in the room.
Seeing that there was no one around, Fu Qing whispered to his nephew, "Fu Yin'er, tell the truth to uncle...what are you doing here?"
Fu Yin'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Studying politics! It's just studying. I can't always read it in books. They say that the Northern Industrial Zone is the lifeblood of my Chinese nation. Why is it the lifeblood?"
"I want to see it with my own eyes and hear it with my ears... How is the steel industry in the SAR? Can the workers' livelihood be guaranteed? How far has the railway been built..."
"We all need to learn how long the Kailuan coal mine's resources can last, and how long Yanshan's iron ore resources can last..."
"Hmph..." Fu Qing snorted coldly, "Don't be careless with your uncle. There is plenty of time for study tours, why bother to rush it during the war?"
"Luo Huo, don't be too pretentious. The Hua clan is very powerful now, but it's hard to guard against those who attack openly and secretly... Look, go back quickly. Xiao Letian isn't here, and the prince can't leave Naha for too long!"
Luo Huo nodded quickly, "I'll take the young master away tomorrow. In fact, I've been here for three days. I don't dare to tell anyone. It's all top secret! Third Master, don't waste your time. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly..."
Having said this, Luo Huo glanced at Fu Yin'er secretly. Fu Qing was shocked and seemed to understand something, but it was a little unclear.
"Luo Huo... let's not talk about idleness. I came here for one purpose this time, to discuss business... Here is the list, please read it carefully!"
A thick purchase list was pushed in front of Luo Huo. It was densely packed with lists of purchased supplies. Luo Huo looked at it carefully. After reading one page, he put it on the table. Fu Yin'er took it over without making a sound. Looking at it item by item.
Food is the first priority, followed closely by arms, cannons, rifles, grenades... various types of ammunition, cloth, wound medicine, field rations, even military boots, armed belts, etc. There are always between three and four hundred kinds. many.
Due to time constraints, it is impossible to read each item clearly, but the total price on the last page must be read carefully!
"Forty-three million silver dollars? Is the scale of the imperial court's purchase really unprecedented?" Luo Huo put down the last page. "You even asked my railway troops to participate in the war?"
"Haha... My Third Master, you know this is no longer a purchase contract, this can already be regarded as a treaty!"
"The appetite is too big, the appetite is really too big..."
