Tianjin, Zhao Weizhong Mansion.

Zhao Weizhong was sitting in his study reading the newspaper, but he saw Zhao Ping coming in in a military uniform and said, "Uncle, I will go back to the army tomorrow. The office has already delivered the boat ticket to me."

Zhao Weizhong put down the newspaper and said, "Are you leaving now? The Chinese New Year was just over when you left last time, and it took half a year to go there. How many days have you been back? Although your holiday is only 6 days, can't you apply for a few days? After you got married with Qiujing, you will be together for a few days. It is rare to go home once, and you don't stay for a few more days before leaving."

Zhao Ping shook his head and said, "That's not OK. The army gives you a few days of vacations, which makes it reasonable to postpone it. And only those who have been married like us will come back to visit relatives on vacation. Those who are not married are still in Shanghai! We are not satisfied."

Zhao Ping was also one of the first people to join the People's Army Navy. In addition, he was Zhao Weizhong's nephew. He was very reliable in politics. He was young and knew literature and was highly valued by the navy. Of course, Zhao Ping himself worked very hard. He initially participated in the Qingzhou and Yizhou in Germany. He served on the Qingzhou for 10 months and participated in the Javanese protection battle at that time. Later, he was transferred to the armored cruiser Chitu for 6 months and participated in the Yellow Sea Battle to intercept the Russian fleet. During the service of these two warships, Zhao Ping's assessment results were excellent, so he was admitted to the military academy for 6 months and was included in one of the key personnel trained by the Navy.

After returning from studying, Zhao Ping was sent to the battleship Weiyang as the artillery commander, participated in the Tsushima Naval Battle, and was later promoted to the combat staff of the battleship detachment; and after the Poetsmouth negotiations broke down, he was transferred to the captain of the destroyer Wendeng.

Although he was only a captain of a destroyer, his significance was completely different from the previous position of service on the warship. Because no matter how small the warship is, he is fully equipped with all the internal organs, so his experience as a captain is far from comparable to the positions on other ships. Moreover, the captain of a destroyer usually trains talents for other warship captains. As long as there is no major accident, there will be a future. Sure enough, just 4 months later, Zhao Ping was transferred to the Hejian cruiser to serve as the deputy captain, which is actually preparing to take over the Hejian.

The Hejian is the fifth of the Dongchang-class protective cruiser. It is a warship that matches the Qingzhou-class cruiser. It is currently the flagship of the Sixth Cruiser Squadron. Although this is a low-end warship, the warship designed and built by the East China government itself is different from the large destroyers captured. Zhao Ping participated in the Battle of the Taiwan Strait with the Hejian. After returning, his military rank was promoted to major and was officially appointed as the captain of the Hejian.

During Zhao Ping's study in the military academy, Zhao Weizhong took charge of the marriage and married Zhao Shuilan's maid Qiuqing. However, since Zhao Ping spent most of his time in the army, the couple did not have much time to reunite, and Zhao Weizhong tried his best to keep him. Therefore, after getting married, the two still lived in Zhao Weizhong's home and did not have an independent portal.

Since Zhao Ping is a married man, he also had a 6-day vacation during the Navy's rest period, so he returned to Zhao Weizhong's house and reunited with his wife, but now it's time to return.

Zhao Weizhong nodded and said, "That's right, even if it's the case, I won't keep you. Just go back to the army with peace of mind. Qiuqing, don't worry, with Shuilan and me, you won't compromise her." After a pause, Zhao Weizhong said, "I want to discuss Qiuqing's affairs with you. My business is getting bigger and bigger, and I need more and more people. However, I don't have many people who can trust. Shuilan is now working in the government, so it's hard to ask her to come back to help me. Qiuqing grew up in my family since she was a child, and now she has become a family. It's all reliable. She also knows a few words, so I plan to let Qiuqing go to a shop to manage the accounting first, learn to do business slowly, and help me manage some things in the future, so that she can do something so that she won't be stuck at home and get sick."

Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Zhao Weizhong would let Qiu Qing learn to do business. However, he served in the navy for nearly 4 years and broadened his horizons a lot. He knew that the East China government advocated equality between men and women and encouraged women to participate in social work. There were many positions in the People's Army, and there were female officials in the government, and many overseas Chinese were doing business and doing well. Therefore, he should stay at home without a woman and take care of his husband and children. It was not impossible to ask his wife to help Zhao Weizhong do business. Not only did she have something to do, but she could also repay Zhao Weizhong's kindness to him, but she was afraid that his wife would be ignorant and would ruin the matter.

Seeing that Zhao Ping didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Weizhong thought that Zhao Ping was unwilling to let his wife show up. In fact, Zhao Weizhong had saved this idea. One was the person around him who really needed to trust him now; the other was also the one who was holding Zhao Ping. When Zhao Weizhong sent Zhao Ping to join the army and recognized Zhao Ping as his nephew, it was mostly to enhance his status in the East China government. Zhao Ping worked very hard in the navy and his military position grew. Zhao Weizhong was also worried while comforting him. Although Zhao Ping was an orphan, if he really made a name for himself in the army, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not establish his own household. After all, he and Zhao Ping were just relatives of five clans. Then, although his thoughts could not be said to be in vain, the effect was greatly reduced.

In order to keep Zhao Ping, Zhao Weizhong betrothed Qiu Qing as his wife and arranged a marriage for the two of them. However, Zhao Weizhong also knew that this might not keep Zhao Ping for a long time. Moreover, when Zhao Ping was promoted to major this time, he was qualified to take his family with the army. Qiu Qing was naturally willing to settle down in the army with Zhao Ping, so Zhao Weizhong decided to let Qiu Qing learn to do business so that he could keep Zhao Ping.

So Zhao Weizhong said: "Why, don't you want Qiu Qing to come out to do things? Women should stay at home? You have been in the army, so why are you still guarding this old calendar..."

Zhao Ping hurriedly said, "Uncle, I don't mean that. I am afraid that Qiu Jing will break your business if she is young and ignorant."

Zhao Weizhong laughed and said, "It turns out that I am worried about this. No one can do business when he was born. I can't learn it slowly! I think this girl is very good at finding Lingli, so she must be able to learn it. Moreover, I have a lot of business, so even if Wu ruins one or two, it doesn't matter. She just thinks that she has paid the tuition."

Seeing that Zhao Weizhong said this, Zhao Ping certainly did not refuse and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with Qiu Qing for a while."

Zhao Weizhong said: "Okay, I will book a private room in Lishunde tonight, order a few tables of wine, and invite some relatives and friends to gather together, which can be regarded as practicing for you. Speaking of which, you have been promoted to major and become captain again. I haven't celebrated you yet, so I will make up for it all this time."

Zhao Ping said: "No need, uncle, just have a meal at home, so why bother spending money?"

Zhao Weizhong laughed and said, "How can that be? Although you are not returning home in glory this time, you are also returning with honor. You should be proud of it no matter how you do it. I had already thought of inviting relatives and friends to come and have fun. I was too busy some time ago, so I delayed your affairs. You are leaving again. Then I will stop taking advantage of this time. I will make the decision. You don't have to worry about it. Waiting to set off with me in the evening, bring Qiuqing with me, and let her recognize people. I will call Shuilan back to come back in the evening, and everyone will gather together."

Zhao Weizhong said this to this point, so Zhao Ping had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Qiu Qing now."

Zhao Weizhong nodded and smiled, "It's still early now. If you have time, take Qiuqing out to buy a few new clothes, preferably the ones that the female leaders often wear. When you go out at night, you will have a face."

Zhao Ping agreed and then left Zhao Weizhong's study. After Zhao Ping left, Zhao Weizhong immediately pulled the bell and called the supervisor Zhao Quan, asking him to book a seat at the Lishunde Hotel and arrange for someone to treat him.

Although the East China government has begun to manage social materials and most of the catering and entertainment industries have closed down due to lack of food sources, Lishunde Hotel is controlled by the government, and the supply of materials can still be guaranteed, so it can continue to operate, but it is only operated internally. Zhao Weizhong was the first local to follow the time traveler, and he is also an insider of the East China government, and the highest-level category. Of course, he is qualified to order meals and treats at the Lishunde Hotel.

Now Zhao Weizhong's business is getting bigger and bigger, with nearly 20 industries under his name. Only he owns only 5 factories and 3 shops. His business is spread throughout Shandong, Shanghai and other regions. His total personal assets exceed 3 million silver dollars, and his daily turnover is about 500,000 yuan. At the same time, Zhao Weizhong also serves as the president of the Tianjin Industry and Commerce Association. His daughter works in the Tianjin government agency and his nephew serves in the army. It can be said that he is now the number one businessman and a gentry in Tianjin.

In life, Zhao Weizhong was also proud of his youth. His Yuanmao had long passed away and only had a daughter. However, Zhao Weizhong was not very old. He was less than 40 years old when he defected to the time traveler. Moreover, after the establishment of the East China government, Zhao Weizhong's status also rose. Therefore, there were many people who said that he would continue his relationship. Zhao Weizhong naturally wanted to leave a man and half a woman to pass on the family line. Moreover, his daughter was older and worked in the government, and he was not afraid of being bullied by his stepmother. So Zhao Weizhong not only renewed a wife, but also took two concubines, and gave birth to a man and a woman. The new concubine he just took this year was also pregnant.

It can be said that Zhao Weizhong has never regretted his life, but he still has a heart problem, that is, his daughter Zhao Shuilan is 22 years old this year, but she has not yet married. If it were during the Qing Dynasty, a 22-year-old woman could be considered an older single woman, and it is almost impossible to have a normal marriage. It would be great to be able to reunite others. The Han family who Zhao Weizhong married was only 22 years old. Of course, that was more than 4 years ago.

In fact, he said he had more relatives to Zhao Shuilan than Zhao Weizhong. However, Zhao Weizhong was determined to ask Zhao Shuilan to find an overseas Chinese, but no one else considered it. However, with more and more contact with overseas Chinese, Zhao Weizhong also knew them deeper and knew that overseas Chinese were divided into different levels. Generally speaking, administrative officials and soldiers had the highest status, followed by the head of the factory run by the government, and then the people who started their own businesses. There were also a group of people who were eating, drinking and not doing things. Overseas Chinese called them "sauce-making" or "sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-sauce-s
