Chapter 138 Li Cunyi's Network
Two days later, Ye Tongguang and others also arrived in Fuzhou from Shanghai and set up a new general letter room and account room in the large mansion next to Fuzhou Ship Administration Office, that is, to transfer Hu Chuyuan's business inspection and decision-making center to Fuzhou.
This time, Hu Chuyuan returned to Fuzhou to run China's tea industry with all his heart. If he can't do it well, he will be unwilling to die.
There can't be a second candidate for the letter room. Of course, it's Yan Shizhang, and it's Miao Tsuensun and Gu Jiaxiang who are behind.
The work of the account room is mainly done by Ye Tongguang and Yang Hongbin. There is definitely no problem with their ability, but some accounts can't let them know. Chen Shanyuan can check some, but he can't check them every day.
After thinking about it, Hu Chuyuan decided to transfer Pan Limei from the Hangzhou Silk Factory.
After the establishment of the silk factory in Hangzhou, the silk factory and local squire merchants jointly set up small silk workshops in various counties in Hangzhou, all of which adopted the new 1200-hole Jiangnan loom, trained more than 30,000 skilled weavers, and produced more than a million pieces of high-quality Hangzhou silk.
It is driven by the Hangzhou Silk Factory that Hangzhou has become the center of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang silk industry, as well as the largest silk distribution center in China.
Pan Limei was one of the witnesses throughout the process.
She is a smart girl. After three years of training in Hangzhou Silk Factory, she has really learned a lot of skills.
Every time she returns to Hangzhou, Hu Chuyuan will go to Hangzhou Silk Factory and meet her several times during this period, and she gives Hu Chuyuan the feeling that she is indeed getting more and more shrewd and capable.
In a word, these three years of exercise are worth it.
Hu Chuyuan thought about it and transferred Pan Limei back to deal with the accounts of the silk industry. At the same time, he was responsible for collecting all kinds of information about the Japanese and the world silk industry. Ye Tongguang was responsible for the commercial bank and the money bank, Yang Hongbin was responsible for the tea industry, and Chen Shanyuan was only responsible for the accounts of the arms.
Each has his own duties.
As for the accounts of Yufeng Society, he asked himself and didn't have to bother others.
After making this decision, he asked someone to send a telegram to transfer Pan Limei to the main account room in Fuzhou.
It was on this day that Li Cunyi came back and invited several well-known masters that even Hu Chuyuan had heard of. The most famous ones were Liu Qilan, Cheng Tinghua and Wang Zhengyi. The rest of Zhang Jingxing, Huang Shihai, Li Shuwen, Wang Zhongquan, Zhang Zhankui and others were not idle people.
Cheng Tinghua is a direct descendant of Bagua Palm, and Wang Zhengyi is the legendary Big Knife King Wu.
Liu Qilan is Li Cunyi's master. Naturally, he will come to help. Cheng Tinghua and Li Cunyi are fellow villagers. Li Cunyi's gossip knife method was passed down by Cheng Tinghua's substitute Dong Haichuan.
Wang Zhengyi was invited by Cheng Tinghua. Lightning hands Zhang Zhankui and Li Cunyi were righteous brothers. They must have come. Zhang Jingxing and Huang Shihai were invited by Liu Qilan. Both of them felt that they were a little old. If they really fought with him, they might not be able to take advantage of it, so they took advantage of their most proud disciple, Li Shuwen. Wang Zhongquan also brought it here.
Shape, gossip, eight poles.
Three elites are gathered together, and even if these are Li Cunyi's network in the world, he first learned Xingyiquan. Later, on the recommendation of Liu Qilan, he studied Bajiquan with Zhang Jingxing for three years. After going to Yanjing, he met Cheng Tinghua, a fellow countryman in Shenzhou, Hebei Province, and learned Bagua palms and Bagua knives through Cheng Tinghua.
Liu Qilan's learning is also relatively miscellaneous. Li Cunyi is his great apprentice. Naturally, he learned more. The old knife he used that day was learned from Liu Qilan.
Because Liu Qilan has the largest age and generation, everyone is led by him.
Seeing that they had a set of etiquette and relationships, Hu Chuyuan pushed the boat along the way and hired Liu Qilan as the general nurse of the Hu family, with a thousand taels of silver a year. Zhang Jingxing and Cheng Tinghua also claimed to be a master, giving him the title of deputy chief nurse's home, with an annual silver of 800 taels.
Everyone was very happy when they heard it, but what they wanted to do was to compete with themselves, organize the Shanghai Sports Association, spread the northern Xingyi Boxing, Bagua Palm and Bajiquan to Shanghai, and play the famous Fuzhou Sports Association in Shanghai... This is exempt.
Shanghai is a blank, so you can go. Fuzhou has always been the territory of Nanquan, and you can't come to Fuzhou to kick the restaurant.
Hu Chuyuan didn't pay special attention to this matter. He was just enthusiastic on the surface and paid for the house. In fact, it was all handed over to Liu Qilan and Zhang Jingxing.
There is always someone around him who is responsible for the protection. Cheng Tinghua, Wang Zhengyi, Huang Shihai and Li Cunyi stayed. While protecting Hu Chuyuan, they also instructed other nurses and soldiers to practice martial arts. Others just came to shake and get the money and went to Shanghai to hold a sports club, occupy an area of land and open a martial arts school.
These people.
Hu Chuyuan sighed in his heart, but he was still quite supportive. He has enough money.
With a high salary, he always had to give full play to his enthusiasm. Hu Chuyuan soon invited Huang Shihai to the Fujian Marine Division to teach the officers and soldiers of the Marine Division to practice martial arts, served as the Marine Division's martial arts instructor, and invited Wang Zhengyi to Xiangying to teach martial arts.
In fact, the only people who really stay with Hu Chuyuan are Cheng Tinghua and Li Cunyi. Wang Zhongquan and Li Shuwen are also serving as nurses, but they seem to have failed to learn their skills. They are practicing hard every time. They are really not old, so Hu Chuyuan didn't pay attention to it.
Hu Chuyuan also wanted to live a long life. It happened that a generation of masters like Cheng Tinghua were here. He asked Cheng Tinghua to teach him a little basic gossip palm for fitness. Cheng Tinghua did not refuse. He taught him a few tricks to exercise his qi, blood and the flexible surname of his hands and feet.
On this day, the two were teaching in the Yamen Garden. Li Cunyi hurried in and told Hu Chuyuan, "Your Excellency, I have something to say."
Hey!
Hu Chuyuan smiled secretly in his heart. Li Cunyi had entered his camp and really caused him a lot of trouble. Fortunately, these things should really be done.
He continued to palm out with Cheng Tinghua, but said, "If you have something to say, I won't let you talk!"
Li Cunyi said, "Your Excellency, your homes are all old deep-fried dough sticks in Zhejiang. It's not easy to teach. Your soldiers are all elites of the Hunan camp. To be honest, you have the ability to shoot, but practicing martial arts may not be good materials. I always feel that the soldiers around you have to shoot with both hands, and the kung fu must be first-class.
Hu Chuyuan smiled. In fact, he admired Li Cunyi, a person who likes to use his brains, so he said, "What do you think I should do?"
Li Cunyi suddenly hesitated and said honestly, "Your Excellency, your nursing home is too old, and I really can't teach it. As soon as I took action, I could suppress them, but if they were asked to learn tricks from me, they would delay foreign workers. Soldier, I'm not from Hunan. I can't control it!"
"Ha!"
Hu Chuyuan smiled, and he knew it was like this.
This kind of thing is inevitable. The general nursing home of the Hu family has always been from Hangzhou. Suddenly, they invited northerners. Everyone didn't say anything and was not happy.
He stopped, thought for a moment, and said to Li Cunyi, "My nursing homes here are all people who have worked for our old Hu family, and most of them are still the people my father recruited at that time. No other ability is loyalty. Well, I'll ask the second housekeeper to arrange it so that they can return to the courtyards of Hangzhou and Shanghai one after another. You can recruit a new batch tomorrow. It doesn't matter where you are from. As long as you have good kung fu and skills. As for the soldiers, you can invite a bright-eyed master to Huizhou, and ask Hu Changnian, the shopkeeper of Huizhou, to recruit a new batch of two or three hundred people. Although you are different from your nationality, why don't you accept a few really talented disciples to be handed down?
Li Cunyi was overjoyed and said, "Then I'm going to do it now."
Hu Chuyuan nodded and asked him to do it.
When he left, Hu Chuyuan continued Cheng Tinghua's palm and practice the gossip palm along the way.
After a while, Cheng Tinghua said to Hu Chuyuan, "Brother Cun Yi is a very good person. His knife method should be said to be second only to Mr. Wang Wu in my generation, but it hasn't been a long time to practice the gossip palm and the gossip knife method. If it can be integrated, he will be able to form his own."
Hu Chuyuan smiled.
He is really not very interested in these.
Cheng Tinghua is actually quite shrewd. Generally speaking, it can be seen, but it is not right to say that Hu Chuyuan despises these martial artists. He still attaches great importance to them, but he is not interested.
Regardless of whether Hu Chuyuan is interested or not, he still teaches very seriously. If he can benefit from Hu Chuyuan's status and reputation in society, the gossip palm will be widely spread among the people, which is also a blessing for the teacher.
Bagua Palm, Hu Chuyuan has also practiced for more than ten days. How to put it... It's still quite boring!
At dusk, he stopped, wiped his sweat, and asked Cheng Tinghua, "Mr. Cheng, don't you think it's very difficult to start gossip, and there are too many requirements. I think that what China lacks at present is not a unique martial arts skill, but a kung fu that everyone can practice, and everyone can strengthen the body. This set of palm method should be simple, divided into several levels, starting from the simplest routine, through several sets of routing simple into complexity, from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult.
"Huh?"
Cheng Tinghua was slightly stunned and said, "If you want to practice any kung fu well, the foundation is always the most important. If you don't learn the pile method, it is the most taboo to jump directly to learn the palm method, and it will be difficult to practice solidly in the future. Martial arts is like this. When the master passed it to me at the beginning, the foundation alone made me prick for three years. It was a hundred times more boring than what you have learned now.
Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Of course, adults are right. Not everyone wants to become a martial arts master, but more people just want to strengthen their health. If possible, I will think about it recently to see if I can take apart the way of gossip and divide it into several levels to teach slowly. If I am willing to learn the real skills, then learn the basic way, practice from the pile method, and take what we need.
Hu Chuyuan smiled. He actually likes Cheng Tinghua very much. Unlike Liu Qilan, Li Cunyi and others, Cheng Tinghua is one year younger than Li Cunyi, but he has a real master temperament and talks happily.
Of course, in terms of appearance, body shape, temperament, and connections, Cheng Tinghua does have his outstanding points, which can be said to be a talent.
Li Cunyi is also a good-looking actor. Compared with him, he is a supporting role no matter how you look at it.
If it is in 130 years, it will definitely be much more popular than Jet Li and Donnie Yen.
General factors, Hu Chuyuan appreciates Cheng Tinghua and the National Academy of Arts. After all, he will do it, but he will not do it by himself. Cheng Tinghua is just a very good candidate.
At present, Liu Qilan is asked to do it. The main reason is that Liu Qilan is senior, popular and appealing. He shook his arms. Guo Yunshen, Che Yonghong, Song Shirong, Li Guangheng... These people will be invited. They are all brothers.
Guo Yunshen and Li Guangheng have more disciples, and they are also masters at the level of Li Cunyi. Isn't the Shanghai Sports Association, which takes Xingyi boxing as the main backbone?
I said that if I come again, I will come as soon as I come. At that time, it will be none of Hu Chuyuan's business.
People in the world will solve the things in the world by themselves.
Anyway, there is nothing important in the past two days. Hu Chuyuan asked Cheng Tinghua to continue to drink tea with him and talk about those things in Yanjing City, because the people who learn gossip are mainly the children of the rich and rich families in the capital. Cheng Tinghua has a high status in the capital and knows a lot of things.
The two inadvertently talked about Jing Lian. It turned out that Jing Lian also followed Cheng Tinghua for two years of gossip. Like Hu Chuyuan, he basically did not suffer. What he learned was a show, beating his wife and maids and working together.
As he was talking, Cheng Tinghua suddenly remembered and asked Hu Chuyuan, "Your Excellency, can Chen Shanyuan learn gossip from me? I saw him and Li Cunyi learn from Miao Dao and Xiaojia a few days ago. I felt that he was a very flexible person and wanted to give me some advice."
Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, this is a good thing. Do you want to be a disciple, or just look at my face?"
Cheng Tinghua thought about it carefully for a while and said, "I can't talk about the disciple who enters the room. I just think he can learn to live a real life. Anyway, I teach hard. He is willing to be a teacher or not. That's his business. If he refuses, I can recommend him to others. In fact, he lays a good foundation for learning the kung fu of the eight poles, and then learns gossip and auxiliary learning form. After ten years of hard work, he may not be worse than me!"
Hu Chuyuan secretly thought that it was not easy for these people to make a reputation. Everyone has worked hard for more than ten years.
Among other things, he has only been looking at the young man Li Wenshu these days. He is about the same age as him. Every day, he grabs the tail of a large gun pole weighing more than a hundred catties with one hand, constantly shaking, and his whole body has to use it.
It's very boring. From the left hand to the right hand, and then from the right hand to the left hand, I have been practicing like this for seven or eight days.
But that's it. It's also amazing to practice a unique skill to the end.
Cheng Tinghua said another thing. He said, "Actually, this time I went south with Master Wang Wu, I just wanted to fight with him and see what level of martial arts is."
Hu Chuyuan said, "That's quite easy. I guess I will come back soon. They will never give up if they don't prove that they are the best Asian race."
Cheng Tinghua laughed a little and said, "There is no need to fight. Everyone has his own strengths. How can he say the advantages and disadvantages? Since they are so thoughtful, I can't be too polite to them. If they come again, I can fight with them first.
Hu Chuyuan is very interesting. Anyway, he is also a master of the gossip palm.
He said, "I'm not afraid of anything else, but my knife is very sharp, and Li Cunyi's single knife was cut out of several gaps."
Cheng Tinghua was very calm and said, "Everyone has their own skills, which is not a shame. Now is the era of foreign guns. With those skills to study steel knives, we might as well have more energy to make foreign guns. When I face the enemy, I will choose a heavier steel knife.
Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Fuzhou Iron and Steel Factory has been studying new steel materials recently. You might as well invite a few masters of casting knives from Yanjing to make a few good knives with ready-made military materials, at least not too bad, so that everyone can give full play to their strengths."
Cheng Tinghua said, "This is also a good thing. Then I will write to a few friends tonight and invite them to go south to Fuzhou to conspire together."
Hu Chuyuan nodded his head and was about to ask what kind of steel knife the gossip school used. He remembered a pleasant shout outside the Yamen Garden.
"Young master, I'm back!"
Listening to that voice, I don't know how happy it is.
Hu Chuyuan knew that it was Pan Limei's little girl without looking at it. When she looked up, she saw that Pan Limei had hurriedly ran into the garden. She was really an unforgettable beautiful woman.
At this time, she was wearing a pink satin short skirt and trousers, which was very close to her body. She could support the seductive lines of youth, which was exquisite and convex, which made people think of Feifei.
I don't know when she also tied up the thick braids of Jiangsu and Zhejiang girls, black and beautiful, and it seemed that she was so cute.
Her beautiful appearance, white and moist skin, and exquisite figure are really amazing.
A few years have passed by, and she is really more and more feminine, beautiful like a goblin who can seduce.
Pan Limei only brought a very small package. When she saw Hu Chuyuan, she smiled unruly and waved, "Young master, you finally got me out of Hangzhou. I've been working hard for three years!"
"It's a blessing to suffer."
Hu Chuyuan smiled softly, introduced Cheng Tinghua again, and said, "Limei, see Mr. Process, he can also be regarded as my master!"
"I dare not be, the adult is serious!"
Cheng Tinghua hurriedly refused. Due to etiquette, he just nodded slightly to Pan Limei and didn't say anything.
Pan Limei greeted Cheng Tinghua sweetly and said to Hu Chuyuan, "Young master, I heard that a few days ago said that I was going to make trouble with you. It's really unreasonable... Housekeeper Wang also said that you have found a lot of masters to escort you. In fact, my father also knows a few famous swordsmen in Japan. It's better to compare with them, know yourself and your enemy, and win every battle!"
"Oh?"
Only then did Hu Chuyuan remember that Hiroshi Nakamura was actually a Japanese warrior, but he didn't know whether he was good at learning or not.
But this trick seemed to be a little tricky. He looked at Cheng Tinghua, meaning to let him decide.
Cheng Tinghua said, "Why not? The victory or defeat is in the second place, and the face is in the second place. The key is to learn from each other and increase your knowledge. If we can summarize a new set of kung fu to deal with Japanese skills, that is the most important thing, and it is also the purpose of Master Wang and I going south.
At this point, he said to Hu Chuyuan, "It is reasonable to say that the Miao Dao's old frame and the small frame are spread in the Qi family's army, which is specially used to deal with the Japanese swordsmanship, but Li Cunyi came to tell me last time that it didn't seem to be very wrong. It's a little bit, but it can't be all, and the effect is not great. When he said that, I was interested. I'm thinking that other people's kung fu is also constantly improving, and it changes every year.
Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and hummed. He admired Cheng Tinghua and Wang Zhengyi more and more.
