Chapter 2 It's Too Hard for Me
It feels so cool to travel to a time when the righteous are invincible. Even in this fucked up era, there are still good benefits.
You can marry any wife you want, take any gold you want, and kill any Japanese you want.
A king bomb is in your hand.
The first move is explosion.
Is there anything happier than this?
Zhou Xiaoshan, who was still daydreaming, didn't notice when a few nurses helped him get the bandages done, put on his military uniform, and were ready to let him get out!
"My name is Zhou Huilan. Remember, come to me every day to change the dressing! You must remember that your wound is on your back. If it gets inflamed, even gods can't save you!"
Look at the nurse's serious and tense face!
Zhou Xiaoshan thought that the angel in white was the cutest, and even wanted to peck the freckles on her face!
After standing at attention, he stretched his body straight and gave Nurse Zhou a standard military salute!
"Thank you, Nurse Zhou. I will come to bother you every day in the future!"
"get well soon!"
Although Yongzhou Hospital and the 66th Division of Yongzhou are both located on the edge of Longxi River.
It's half a city away.
Walking between the streets lined with dark grey tiled houses, Zhou Xiaoshan, who was so hungry that he fainted, had nothing to eat except a bowl of tofu rice.
I was also very angry.
Poor as hell.
What are the rules of the 66th Division? A private gets one dollar a month in salary. When I joined the 66th Division, a trainee second lieutenant gets two dollars a month, and a lieutenant who was promoted last month only gets three dollars a month.
Three oceans are not enough to support a family.
After four months of military service, I earned nine dollars through hard work, but I spent five of them. The remaining four dollars can't buy anything!
Measuring cups, test tubes, laboratory glassware, thermometers, culture materials, everything I wanted to buy was not available, and I had a daydream about penicillin. What should I do?
The largest company, Chengyuan Trading Company, agreed to go to Shanghai to help with purchasing.
He just asked for fifty dollars for a set of chemical experiment tools for teaching.
Why doesn't he go and grab it!
Fifty dollars can buy two acres of land or a small building in Yongzhou.
It’s so dark that even crows are not as dark as the foreign bank.
Glass only costs a few dollars!
This is a cannibalistic world!
The tofu rice was not tasty either, and the pork liver was overcooked. Is this still Sichuan, which is famous for its cuisine? Even the rice tasted like sand. Zhou Xiaoshan regretted eating and buying things.
If I had known to return to the barracks, even though it was past breakfast time, I could have at least gotten some fried peanuts and porridge in the officers' mess with the one bar and two triangular stars on my collar.
Zhou Xiaoshan was complaining while shopping.
Suddenly, I saw a pottery workshop!
His eyes lit up.
What is Yongzhou? It is the eastern edge of the Land of Abundance, a place rich in natural resources!
Clay is the specialty here. Back then, my father ran a glass factory. Although the family businesses in my previous life were rather mixed, at least we are a rich second generation family that started out by making glass.
Customize a few high-temperature crucibles and you can make glass yourself!
Being able to do what you say is a sign of character!
Customized high temperature crucible!
This is big business in pottery shops.
How much can these jars of pickles and water be sold for?
Especially those who can understand and do this.
Seeing the boss come out and narrow his eyes, Zhou Xiaoshan knew he had come to the right place.
This boss will definitely do it, and it’s not the first time!
The owner's surname is Gao, an old man in his forties from Sichuan. It's hard to tell whether he is a henpecked man or not, but you can tell that he is experienced and shrewd, and his skinny figure shows that he often goes into the kiln.
Of course, this was not the first time he had made this. His kiln and home were located at the east end of the city, and there was only a brothel between him and the home of Wang the blacksmith at the east end of the city. Wang the blacksmith had good skills and could cast iron. He often made high-temperature crucibles to smelt steel and iron!
After failing dozens of times at the beginning, he took the high-temperature clay from Yongzhou and repeatedly studied and pondered with Wang the blacksmith before he finally mastered the technology of the high-temperature crucible, which came in handy today.
He did not overcharge the customer. He took two dollars from Zhou Xiaoshan and offered to provide thirty high-temperature crucibles.
Zhou Xiaoshan never dreamed that he would travel back to the Republic of China.
I also have to get the glass myself.
He wondered if he had traveled through the wrong era.
If you travel back to the Ming Dynasty, glass, cement, and steam engines can bring about a new era.
Nowadays, glass, how much can glass be sold for? Glass cups, glass plates, and most practical utensils can be replaced by ceramics and enamels. You are not as durable as them, not to mention glass windows. How many people in Yongzhou can afford glass windows?
Cement, that thing called cement, is still better in Sichuan. If you go against the foreign companies in the coastal areas, they will dump the cement at low prices and make you lose all your money!
While shaking his head, he walked to the blacksmith shop in the east of the city. Under the guidance of Gao Waguan, he had to go to the east of the city to find Wang the blacksmith to custom-make two sets of iron racks for carrying crucibles to facilitate burning.
Blacksmith Wang is not as honest in doing business as Gao Waguan. He was obviously ripped off in the sale of two iron racks.
If the price that Crucible had just ordered was not very low, Zhou Xiaoshan would have suspected that Gao Waguan had taken a kickback when introducing the business.
The crucible, the rack, and some raw materials cost me two and a half dollars, and I had just over one dollar left.
Zhou Xiaoshan then realized that in order to test the equipment, he had been so eager to make glass that he hadn’t even found a place to do it!
It's so hard for me!
There was no venue, not even a place to pile up the crucibles. What's more, his position as an adjutant was not stable. According to Chief of Staff Luo Jialie's logic, he had just been promoted to lieutenant. Even if he had made meritorious contributions in protecting the emperor, at most he would be promoted one level and then demoted to the army.
Three brigades of the 66th Division!
Only the 122nd Brigade was stationed in Yongzhou City, and the other two brigades, one in the south and the other in the east, were both in nearby county towns.
Whether you go to the 123rd Brigade or the 124th Brigade, you have to say goodbye to Yongzhou City!
If you bring dozens of crucibles, two sets of crucible tongs, and a pile of chemical raw materials to report to the county town, you will be laughed to death.
Forget it, let’s go back to the 66th Division’s headquarters first.
In general, you should first find out where you are going, and then notify the delivery person.
The one with the bigger fist is the one that matters!
This rule applies to all worlds!
Feng Tiankui, commander of the 66th Division, is the commander of the Yongzhou Defense Zone. His headquarters is naturally the most beautiful place in Yongzhou.
The blue brick building with Western loft style is unique in this city with gray walls and gray tiles!
Before Feng Tiankui came, this was the most beautiful place in Yongzhou. After he came, he urinated in the most beautiful place, waved his gun, and the owner of this small Western-style building changed!
Not only is this building the headquarters of the Yongzhou Defense Zone, but the surrounding river beach and hundreds of acres of land opposite the river beach are also the location of the headquarters.
In Yongzhou city .
Zhou Xiaoshan could still cross his legs with peace of mind and listen to people calling him "General" or "Sir".
But we arrived at the small gray building of the headquarters.
He is at the bottom of the food chain and has to act like a grandson to everyone he meets.
The little lieutenant adjutant is the smallest bureaucrat here.
Not to mention that there is no sign of a second lieutenant here, even a lieutenant like him is as rare as a rooster among a group of tigers.
As Luo Jialie's adjutant, when he was taking advantage of the power of others, he was not afraid of many people here.
Knowing that you are going to be kicked out, if you don't keep a low profile, that's not only unwise, that's crazy!
At around eleven o'clock in the morning, people were coming in and out of the command center, running around as if they were facing a great enemy.
Zhou Xiaoshan, who had watched the TV series, knew with his toes that Commander Feng was staging a drama in which the Red Army came to Yongzhou and attacked Chongqing.
Life is really like a play, it all depends on your acting skills!
Zhou Xiaoshan saluted carefully all the way, fearing that he would hurt the wound on his back.
