I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

"Master Chenyu wants to give silver dollars to all the workers. You go and arrange for them to come and collect them," Hu Laosi said to the factory director.

"That's great, thank you so much, Mr. Chenyu. I'll go and gather everyone and make preparations right away," the factory director turned around and started to make arrangements.

"Brothers, this is Mr. Chenyu, the head of the Du Group. Seeing that you are working very hard, he will give each of you a dollar. You must work hard and thank Mr. Chenyu," Hu Laosi was giving a speech there, and Du Chenyu was sitting on a chair.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Chenyu really has a kind heart of a bodhisattva," there were all kinds of random praises and the whole place was full of joy.

Li Haoran also came out, carrying a cloth bag and distributing the items. After the distribution, they continued to visit for a while and then went back.

New Year's Day of 1913 arrived as scheduled. Du Chenyu was about to turn two years old. All matters here were on track. Under the protection of Hu Laosi, they quietly set out for their home in Linshui at dawn without telling anyone in advance. It has been almost two months since he left home. It was the first time he was away from his mother for so long. Every day was spent with high tension, and he fought three consecutive battles.

"Mom... Mom..." Three hours later, they finally arrived home. He started shouting while still at the edge of the yard.

"Godmother, my brother is back," Yaya ran out of the house the fastest, with a few patches of charcoal dust on her face and a five-clawed black dragon on her hand, but she had grown much taller. She ran over and picked him up and spun him around. In an instant, his little red cotton jacket was covered with several fingerprints.

"Hu Zi, my Hu Zi, where have you been? Why haven't you come back for so long?" The mother ran out from the thatched hut, picked him up, and wiped her tears with excitement.

"Why is he so darker and thinner?" Mother kissed him and looked at him over and over to see if there was any part missing.

A feeling of happiness, warmth, emotion, comfort and security arises spontaneously. There is no need for intrigue, bloody battles or racking brains to think. All you have to do is lie in your mother's arms and food will come to you and clothes will be provided for you. This is home. With a mother, there is home, the warmest place.

After lying in his mother's arms for a long time, his mother went to make lunch. Yaya took him to study her new discovery. There was a nest of red ants in the corner of the wall beside the courtyard. Yaya dug a few ground ants in several small earthen nests under the eaves of the back house and placed them next to the ant nest. When an ant found food, it called a group of ants to carry the food.

"Brother, look at this big-headed guy. He is the commander, but he does nothing and keeps making trouble. I'll pick him out." Yaya used a branch to pick out a big ant and put it far away, letting him find his way home by himself.

Du Chenyu felt ashamed when he heard this. In every battle, his brothers rushed to the front, and he hid in the fortifications waiting for them, and was still giving orders. Isn't this the same? Of course, he also lay on the ground and watched the ants move things. Hu Laosi watched them from a distance. Hu Laosi sat on a stone and smoked a pipe leisurely.

"Mr. Chenyu, I will be back in the afternoon. Do you have any instructions for me?" Hu Laosi finished smoking and ran over to ask him.

"Don't take any proactive actions before the New Year. Stay alert, intensify military training, digest the territory, and spend the New Year in peace." He replied while lying on the ground without even raising his head.

"Well, this is more like a child. I want to set up a stall for my brothers to watch Young Master Chenyu move houses. Haha, haha..." After hearing what he said, Hu Laosi turned around and laughed, mocking him.

After a few days of leisure, he spent every day in his mother's arms, studying with Yaya, watching ants, and turning over crickets on the rocks. He started to work on the plan again, and the next step was to rebuild the equipment of the entire army and gradually start to formalize it.

The first is to separate the field troops and the garrison troops, and arrange special training for new recruits.

Second, the field troops were uniformly equipped with engineer shovels, bayonets, and helmets. If iron helmets were not enough, wooden or bamboo ones would do, with iron plates in the front to protect the front.

The third is to establish a medical team. A clinic will be set up in each of the three bases in Youfangba, Banqiao Township and Wuyin to train medical staff and facilitate local people to see a doctor.

Fourth, auxiliary troops will be established, who will also serve as the garrison troops.

Fifth, the firearms teams are unified.

At present, the main guns are Hanyang, old sleeve (mostly), self-firing, and a few Greek Mannlicher. Now I have more than 60 guns, and the models have already had the shadow of the International brand. Mannlicher no longer has 6.5mm bullets, so it can only be hidden for exhibition.

Sixth, we are building an iron blast furnace, with an initial allocation of 300 taels of silver. We will concentrate all the manpower, technology, and funds we have now to the highest level, ensuring that the quality of pig iron is better, at least enough to make farm tools. Heavy industry is also a capital hole, and a one-time investment of several hundred taels of silver accounts for almost half of all investments.

Seventh, we must strengthen intelligence work against the bandits in Chenjiashan. We must gradually close off the mountain for defense, set up checkpoints, strictly control the inflow of external food and arms, and resolutely eliminate any small groups of troops that come down the mountain.

He sent the completed plan to each person in charge and asked them to implement it immediately and see results before the end of the year. In mid-January, Hu Laosi was transferred back to Wuyin Base for defense. The military on Wuyin Street was relatively weak, and he monitored the movements of the bandits in Chenjiashan.

On February 1913, 2, there were still five days before the Chinese New Year. This year, everyone was on combat readiness duty and no family leave was given. Each person was given two silver dollars as a consolation allowance.

In the first half of the year before the New Year, my father rushed to various bases to visit and comfort the people, and delivered money and food. He was escorted back on the last day by Li Long. When he got home, there was another round of greetings. The workers in each workshop received their wages and had holidays. My mother cooked at home every day. My grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, father, aunt, Zhang Gou Wa, Ya Ya, and mother were at home. My second uncle and two uncles were on duty and were not allowed to leave the team.

My father summarized the situation in various places. Due to the huge expenses before the New Year, there are only about 2000 yuan left in the account. There is still sufficient food and meat. There are more than 80 people in the training reserve team, and the other 6 teams are all full of 72 people. There are also 15 military academy students. The equipment will be basically complete after the New Year, and there are 68 guns of various types that can be used. This strength is basically better than Yu Yuedong, but the foundation is not enough. They are nouveau riche.

Although the family is now large and powerful, with jurisdiction over three baos and about 3 people, there is not much change in the family. There are still three tiled houses, but there are many more thatched houses, a training barracks for new soldiers, a textile factory, and cattle and sheep breeding pens, a total of more than a dozen houses, some are adobe houses, and some are wooden houses. Food has not changed much, except that there is more meat. Rice is still mainly corn, supplemented by rice. His mother and grandmother cook, and he and sister Yaya hang out outside, chasing dogs, touching chickens, and watching ants. Dog brother still has to study, and his father is still checking everywhere, so they just spend the New Year simply.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Du Chenyu and his guards set out again. The first stop was Youfangba. Huang Kunyang was in charge here. He managed the place well. He lived in a thatched house, and the school was set up in the ancestral hall in the middle of the dam. He also gathered two barefoot doctors from the village together to run a clinic to treat the villagers. There was also the 5th team stationed there, and there were 30 reserve members responsible for farming, breeding and training. 15 militiamen also participated in some training. After half a year, Youfangba basically became a model of governance, and the population increased by more than 100.
