Chapter 83 Bosun's visit

Chen Wenqiang, who was focused on research, analysis, experiment, production and other work, gradually became immersed in it. His enthusiasm and spirit of forgetting to eat and sleep made Wang Zhuoran and others both surprised and inspired. Obviously, as their mentors and guides, Chen Wenqiang's condition was simply too rare.

Three days later, Xu Xilin came to Lujiawan again. When he visited Chen Wenqiang, he was shocked when he saw Chen Wenqiang hurried out from the laboratory to greet him. His hair was messy, his white coat was stained with stains of several colors, and several burnt holes, which really looked like a Frankenstein.

"Haha, Brother Bosun, it's always good to part in Tokyo?" Chen Wenqiang rubbed the dirt on his hands and smiled a little apologetically: "Look at me like this, Brother Bosun will laugh."

He called Xu Xilin's face directly, Chen Wenqiang showed closeness, and Xu Xilin also smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Chen Wenqiang's hand, and said in a cold voice: "Brother Wenqiang is famous and is busy with research now. Xilin is here to disturb him, so please don't be surprised."

"I'm used to it, how can I get weird?" Chen Wenqiang pulled Xu Xilin to the laboratory, "Please sit for a while, I'll explain the finishing work, and then change my clothes and come to accompany you."

"Brother Wen Qiang, please take care of yourself." Xu Xilin stopped in the hall, "I'm just waiting here."

"Brother Bosun, please sit down and wait. I'll have someone serve you tea." Chen Wenqiang nodded, signaled Xu Xilin to sit down, and turned to the stairs.

It took a long time to pass, and Xu Xilin had already drunk two cups of tea before Chen Wenqiang appeared in front of him. After changing his clothes, he also took care of his hair and face briefly. Chen Wenqiang smiled and greeted Xu Xilin, and the two walked out of the laboratory together.

After lingering with Gong Baoquan for three days, he had exchanges and debates with Gong Baoquan. Chen Wenqiang had learned about the general situation. It was obviously unlikely that Xu Xilin's thought would change greatly in a moment, but it was indeed effective. As for establishing schools such as martial arts schools, Chen Wenqiang decided to help him and could not become a comrade in the army. It would be good to make more revolutionary alliances.

The two of them talked while walking, and the carriage and bodyguards followed behind. Chen Wenqiang already knew Xu Xilin's ideas and purpose, while Xu Xilin had a lot of reservations.

"Start a school, Luo Zhi was handsome and taught military law and discipline, and thought that the country would resist the insults in the future." Chen Wenqiang listened to Xu Xilin's statement, nodded slightly, and agreed: "No, Brother Bosun's idea is very good! Shaoxing is right, it is also a good place."

"Although the idea is good, I can't help but have a shortage of money." Xu Xilin smiled bitterly and said, "Although Xilin is also a wealthy family, it is really difficult to use large sums of money regardless of business."

Chen Wenqiang stopped. They were walking on the road leading to the high-end residential area. Next to it was a small river built by artificially built. Trees were planted on the river bank and leaves were rustling on their heads. Looking around, there were rows of unified houses across the river.

"A year ago, this was a stinky ditch covered with weeds, breeding all kinds of disease-causing bacteria." Chen Wenqiang stared at it for a long time and said quietly: "On the other side is a densely packed shed. The children's eyes are concave, their clothes are not covered, and their legs are growing. The men are working hard, and their income is barely filling their stomachs, while the women are looking at me numb and coldly through the smoke of burning wood and cooking."

Xu Xilin frowned, looked at the opposite side, imagining what Chen Wenqiang said, and figuring out what he said.

"They are not lazy, but they are extremely hardworking and hard-working." Chen Wenqiang continued to tell, "I can only hire three meals a day for the whole family to clean up and dredge the ditch and build their own houses. It can be said that it is free labor. Then I let them become my workers, so that they can earn money to support their families and wear clothes. The next step is simple. They are willing to abide by the rules I set because they have solved their livelihood problems and keep them clean and tidy."

Chen Wenqiang turned to Xu Xilin and smiled uglyly, "I don't know how many slums there are in China, but that kind of poverty and dirty scene should be everywhere, right?"

"Yes." Xu Xilin said sadly: "It can be seen everywhere, there are poor people, beggars, or people who have become numb by the pressure of life."

Chen Wenqiang nodded and said, "I have only changed a small area and a group of people. The strength is within one aspect, and the overall environment of this country and society is more critical. Because of this, I am willing to sponsor you to open a school and do my best to change this overall environment."

"Brother Wenqiang" Xu Xilin opened his mouth and spoke, but was interrupted by Chen Wenqiang's wave of his hand.

"This is a dangerous and glorious thing, you understand what I mean." Chen Wenqiang looked at Xu Xilin thoughtfully, "I am also a bit of a force in Shanghai. If you have any needs, you can come to me. Even if I refuse to help, I will not betray my friends. But one thing is, I hope this is a secret that only you know."

"Xi Lin understands." Xu Xilin nodded solemnly, then smiled and said, "Brother Wen Qiang is too modest. Although I have not been to Shanghai for a long time, I still know the name of Xingyitang. Brother Wen Qiang is a Qinghong Gang, and Master Jin San is almost a Jin Bamboo washes his hands. Most of the gang forces in Shanghai need to obey Brother Wen Qiang's orders. Even in this Lujiawan, there are master guards in front of and behind Brother Wen Qiang!"

Chen Wenqiang looked back and saw Feng Yi and Amao not far away, and couldn't help but smile faintly, "I can't talk about any expert, I'm just a follower. Brother Bosun often contacts and walks around outside. If necessary, I can recommend a few masters to protect him."

Xu Xilin hesitated for a moment, waved his hand with a smile, and declined, "Forget it, forget it, Xilin is used to being alone, and is afraid that others will not be able to endure the hardship of running around."

Chen Wenqiang knew that he refused, so he stopped insisting and led Xu Xilin to his small villa. While walking, he talked about funding and helping and the idea of ​​opening a pharmacy in Shaoxing.

The Xu family is a famous family in Shaoxing. His father, Xu Fengming, was a scholar and worked as a county official. His family has more than 100 acres of land. He opened two shops, "Tiansheng Silk Village" and "Taisheng Oil Store" in Shaoxing City. He is a well-known gentry in the local area. Opening a pharmacy in Shaoxing can not only get the care of the Xu family, but also stretch the tentacles of the Revival Society. This is also Chen Wenqiang's wishful thinking.

Although he decided to initiate an uprising in Qiongzhou and strived to establish a base for training and expansion in Qiongzhou. However, the southeastern places such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui were the main financial resources of the Qing Dynasty, which were close to Shanghai, with a relatively open customs and a strong industrial and commercial foundation than the mainland, and its importance was self-evident.

The expansion of the Revival Society in Nanyang is relatively smooth, and the establishment of a stronghold in China is relatively lagging behind. Chen Wenqiang naturally does not want to miss such an opportunity.

"I have to stay in Shanghai for a while, and it is not convenient to carry the money with me. When I am leaving, I will disturb Brother Wen Qiang. I wonder if this is good?" Xu Xilin asked.
