"Dad, are there any roast ducks to eat today?"

"What does roast duck taste like!"

"Is it tasty!"

The two sons asked this and that excitedly. It seemed that Fu Tao was working as an official, but in fact he didn't earn much.

Therefore, these two children are actually not much better than those of ordinary children in food and clothing.

Looking at the look of expectant eyes of the two children, Fu Tao felt sad for no reason. How could he behaved as his father? Why didn’t his son even eat a roast duck!

At this time, Xie Fengjun, who was standing beside him, said, "Get in, don't stand at the door of someone else!"

The group immediately entered Fujude. The guy came forward to greet him with great eyesight, and then shouted: "The guest is here!"

This is not only a welcome to the guests, but also a reminder to the owner.

Soon, Fu Tao met Lin Hongfei, who planned to hire him as the gunboat captain and chief instructor with a high salary.

Although he was mentally prepared, when Fu Tao actually saw Lin Hongfei, he was still surprised by his youth. He naturally wondered, could he have a gunboat at a young age?

Really?

I don't believe it!

However, Lin Hongfei was very enthusiastic, and Fu Tao also entered the private room with a smile. After taking the seat, because Qian Minghe had not arrived yet, everyone was chatting about gossip.

Lin Hongfei also asked the guy to serve a few plates of candied fruit, snacks, and seasonal fruits to satisfy his three children's cravings, which made Fu Tao's children even more excited.

With Qian Minghe's arrival, the atmosphere began to become more enthusiastic, and Lin Hongfei also asked Lu Mengshi to serve the wine immediately!

The master who had prepared a lot quickly fryed the dishes and put them out of the pot. Then the guys shouted Cai Ming and quickly served the steaming dishes to the table.

"Come on, Director Xie, Chief Fu, try my Fujude skills and see if it suits your two tastes!" Lin Hongfei greeted with a smile.

Fujude is now a famous restaurant in Yanjing City. There is no need to say much about the taste of the food. It is delicious and naturally makes people smile with satisfaction.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was already a little drunk, Lin Hongfei began to get to the point: "Captain Fu, you are older than me, I will call you Brother Fu."

"You and I are not people who like to speak empty talk, they both like to go straight."

"Let's say it clearly!"

"I need a naval talent like you to help me now."

"August thing is ahead. I am just a lieutenant company commander now. Even if I become the county magistrate, I am not qualified to give you the title of a lieutenant colonel."

"So, when you come to my command to do business, your rank of lieutenant colonel is equivalent to being invalid, and it is no different from a big head soldier."

"But, the military rank is not enough, so I'll make up the money!"

"I believe Director Xie has told you the price I give you."

"If Brother Fu is willing to help me with the money, I can give you the money now!"

After Lin Hongfei said that, his eyes stared at Fu Tao.

A lieutenant colonel went to be a subordinate of a lieutenant, which was a joke when he told it, but this joke happened in front of Fu Tao, and the person involved was still him.

If Fu Tao doesn't care, that's a lie. Anyone who needs some face has to care.

But the problem is that face cannot be exchanged for money!

Fu Tao was good-looking before and would not tolerate humiliation from outsiders at all, so every step he took in the army was very bumpy.

If Fu Tao is still alone now, I'm afraid he would say "Get out of your uncle Lin Hongfei" on the spot and then leave with his sleeves.

But now, he has a wife and three children. He doesn't think about himself, but also his family.

Your own face, family life.

Fu Tao glanced at his two sons who were full of oil and had a complicated expression flashed across his face. After a long time, he sighed and decided to abandon the former and choose the latter.

In addition, Fu Tao felt that he was working under Lin Hongfei because of his own ability to make money, rather than through the dirty way of embezzling and accepting bribes in the navy.

So, Fu Tao nodded: "Okay, I agree!"

Hearing this, Lin Hongfei laughed a few times and felt extremely happy. With the addition of Fu Tao, the navy talent, his gunboat finally came to his own place!

Of course, this is not enough. Lin Hongfei also plans to let Fu Tao serve as the chief instructor, thereby cultivating a group of naval talents who are loyal to him.

The matter was decided, and Lin Hongfei also handed An Jiafu to Fu Tao as promised. Fu Tao, who had received so much money for the first time, had both hands trembling!

My hard days are over!

A few days later, under the leadership of Fu Tao, Lin Hongfei gathered more than 30 officers and soldiers who were also excluded and cleared out in the navy.

With these people, my gunboat was not a decoration, but a killer in the inland river basin!

If anyone dares to slut with Lin Hongfei, the 152mm main cannon will teach them how to be a human being!

The reason why Lin Hongfei worked tirelessly with Fu Tao to travel around and recruit people was not that he was idle and had nothing to do.

If Fu Tao goes out to recruit people by himself, Lin Hongfei can certainly save a lot of effort. But the question is, are the people recruited by Fu Tao grateful to him, Lin Hongfei or Fu Tao?

It must be Fu Tao, after all, it was Fu Tao who gave them a way out.

But if Fu Tao took him to meet these people, then Fu Tao would only play the role of a middleman. These people were just grateful to him, but were grateful to Lin Hongfei.

Therefore, no matter how tired Lin Hongfei is, he will come forward to recruit these people in person.

As for their salary, in order to make them leave their homes and leave their property, Lin Hongfei willingly followed him to Lingnan Province thousands of miles away, and deliberately increased the salary by an additional 50% based on their original military salary.

This naturally made them more willing to follow Lin Hongfei. Without Lin Hongfei's urging, these people planned to carry their bags, leave their hometown, and follow Lin Hongfei straight to Lingnan Province to occupy a territory.

Lin Hongfei asked these people to settle their homes first. When Lin Hongfei sent a telegram, led by Fu Tao, everyone went directly to Lu Province to meet him.

Immediately afterwards, he headed south to the Yangtze River Basin and traveled west to Jiangdu County to take office.

When recruiting naval officers and soldiers in Tianjin, Lin Hongfei met Li Jinlong along the way and discussed the opening of a dyeing factory.

Li Jinlong naturally agreed and patted his chest to ensure that his brother's dyeing factory was opened in Tianjin, so no one would come to cause trouble!

After cooking all the matters, Lin Hongfei then took Wu Yushu to Lu Province with confidence, preparing to resolve the conscription matter as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also asked Ding Dehu, Chen Deshan and Wang Deming to return to Cang City, where he recruited a group of honest and obedient young people, and went to Shandong Province to meet him.

"Cang City, the hometown of martial arts."

"The strong man in Lu Province."

"The local snake in Jiangdu County?"
