When Lu Haodong came back from class for the children, he saw a handsome young man standing in the yard as soon as he entered the door.

The young man is Yu Chunqiu.

Yu Chunqiu smiled and said, "Lu Haodong."

Lu Haodong's face changed and he turned around and ran away.

Yu Chunqiu's speed is faster than Lu Haodong.

Lu Haodong ran less than twenty meters away and was blocked by Yu Chunqiu.

Lu Haodong stared at Yu Chunqiu and said, "You are from the Qing court, are you here to catch me? Since I have been found by you hawks and dogs, I will kill and cut them all."

Lu Haodong looked as if he was ready to die.

Yu Chunqiu said: "I am not from the Qing court. Strictly speaking, like you, Lu Haodong, I am both wanted criminals of the Qing court."

Lu Haodong knew that the Qing court's hawks and dogs were full of tricks and made people unable to defend themselves. Yu Chunqiu's words did not make Lu Haodong relax his vigilance.

Lu Haodong has been in the revolution over the years, and his experience in fighting in secret has enriched a lot.

"Who are you?" Lu Haodong asked.

Yu Chunqiu said: "In the Xia Yu Chunqiu, he was once the captain of Foshan City."

Lu Haodong showed a surprised expression on his face: "You are Yu Chunqiu? But to eradicate the Shahe Gang and rescue the abducted woman and the young Yu Chunqiu?"

This time it was Yu Chunqiu's turn to be surprised: "Am I so famous?"

Lu Haodong said: "Your deeds were spread to the Guangzhou Yamen half a month ago. Unexpectedly, there were heroes like you in the Qing court."

Yu Chunqiu said: "Heroes are not considered. I have never thought of being a hero. After all, every hero in history seems to have no good ending."

Lu Haodong asked, "I wonder what's wrong with Brother Yu coming to me?"

Lu Haodong was not sure whether the handsome young man in front of him was the real Yu Chunqiu.

Lu Haodong spoke a lot of politely, but Yu Chunqiu could see that he had not gained trust.

Trust is very difficult to establish if you are not a person who knows the truth.

Yu Chunqiu is not in a hurry.

He didn't want Lu Haodong to believe in himself immediately.

A long way to know the power of a horse, and a person's heart will be seen over time. Over time, Lu Haodong will naturally believe it.

Yu Chunqiu said: "Brother Haodong, this is not a place for conversation. Let's find a place to sit down and talk in detail."

Lu Haodong nodded and said, "Go to my house."

...

Back to the yard.

Yu Chunqiu said: "Brother Haodong, I know that your Lu family is a maritime businessman. You have a wide connection. I just came to Guangzhou and wanted to work in the yamen, but I had no way, so I had to come to ask you for help."

Lu Haodong said in his heart, "There is no way?" You found me easily without way. I didn't know you and I didn't know you before."

Guangzhou has developed business and many businessmen operated trade. The Lu family is just a big businessman.

A large part of Mr. Sun's funding to organize the revolution was supported by Lu Haodong.

Unfortunately, after Lu Haodong's father passed away, the Lu family fell into trouble.

The business and money are gone, but some of Lu Haodong's previous connections are still there.

If Lu Haodong had no strong connections, he would have been unable to lurk in Guangzhou at all. Maybe he would have been arrested and executed by the Qing court long ago.

Lu Haodong looked at Yu Chunqiu in surprise: "Brother Yu, do you still want to be an official?"

Yu Chunqiu smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not expect to be an official. I will be satisfied if I can be a minor official."

Officials and officials are different.

An official can be promoted, promoted, and has a grade.

The official has no rank, just like the captain of the yamen. His power is actually quite good, but he is just a minor official, without rank.

Officials look down on minor officials.

Lu Haodong said: "If you are just a minor official, I have a way. I have a relative who works in the yamen. However, if Brother Yu wants to enter the yamen, it will cost a lot of money."

Yu Chunqiu took out the silver notes and said, "Silver is not a problem. Brother Haodong, you can use this thousand taels of silver to handle. If it is not enough, come to me to get it."

Lu Haodong nodded and said, "Okay. Leave this to me."

Yu Chunqiu smiled and said, "thank you so much. Say goodbye."

...

Lu Haodong was relieved when he held the silver note.

To solve Yu Chunqiu's problem, it only costs 100 taels of silver at most. The remaining 900 taels of silver solved Lu Haodong's urgent need.

Lu Haodong needed money to support Mr. Sun's revolution, and it also cost money to teach dozens of children to study.

Lu Haodong's students studied Western learning. In the future, Lu Haodong would arrange for them to go abroad and return to China after they finished their studies.

Therefore, the cost is definitely much greater than reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

"No matter whether this person is real or not, as long as he doesn't report me, I will talk to you first."

Lu Haodong left the city and came to the door of a private house in the suburbs.

Knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was a chubby young man: "Brother Haodong? Come in quickly."

Lu Haodong said: "Send two comrades to Foshan to check Yu Chunqiu's background."

The young man asked, "Who is Yu Chunqiu?"

Although Yu Chunqiu's name was passed down to Guangzhou, it was only circulated within the yamen.

Obviously, the young man still doesn’t know Yu Chunqiu.

Lu Haodong told Yu Chunqiu about the situation.

When the young man heard this, his face was a little solemn: "Brother Haodong, didn't he say that Yu Chunqiu knows us very well? But we know nothing about him. It's too terrible. If Yu Chunqiu was a spy sent by the Qing court, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Lu Haodong said: "I don't know how much Yu Chunqiu knows about our farmer association organization and how much information he has mastered. However, judging from his appearance, I know quite well about me. Because of this, I asked you to arrange two comrades to go to Foshan to find out the real situation of Yu Chunqiu."

The young man nodded and said, "Brother Haodong, don't worry, I'll make arrangements now."

Lu Haodong said: "Wait a moment, I have 700 taels of silver here, please give it to the organization."

The young man was not polite, took the silver note and said, "The funding of the Farmers Association is indeed very tight, and Mr. Sun is also raising money everywhere. Brother Haodong, thank you."

Lu Haodong said with a smile: "We are comrades, why bother saying these polite words?"

...

Yu Chunqiu has good patience and good qi cultivation skills.

Five days later, he came to find Lu Haodong.

Lu Haodong said, "Brother Yu, why haven't you seen for several days? I thought you left Guangzhou? I have already done your business. Two days later, you can take your waist card to work in the yamen. However, I changed your name, Brother Yu. You will be called 'Lu Qiu' in the future."

Yu Chunqiu took over the waist card and said with a smile: "I can't use the name Yu Chunqiu for the time being. Brother Haodong is more thoughtful."

Lu Haodong is reliable in doing business.

Yu Chunqiu found him, and it was indeed nothing wrong.

After a few greetings with Lu Haodong, Yu Chunqiu was about to leave.

Lu Haodong suddenly called Yu Chunqiu and said, "Brother Yu, the Qing court is corrupt and the people are living in poverty. Since you are a person with ambition, why should you serve the Qing court?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. Brother Haodong knows the wisdom of his ancestors better than me. I can't be a revolutionary like you and Mr. Sun, but I can enter the Qing yamen, find out the details of the yamen, master some small power, and do practical things for the people."

...

In the yamen.

Yu Chunqiu came to report.

The headmaster held Yu Chunqiu's waist card and sneered: "Are you Lu Qiu?"

Yu Chunqiu said respectfully: "Sir, the younger one is Lu Qiu."

The headmaster threw the waist card to Yu Chunqiu: "You are not the waist card of the yamen runner, but the waist card of the civil servant. Have you ever read a book?"

Yu Chunqiu nodded and said, "I have read it."

Yu Chunqiu quietly stuffed the headmaster a few taels of silver.

The headmaster took Yu Chunqiu to find the master and completed the entry procedures.

Everything went well.

It's better to have money.

The Lord Bo said to Yu Chunqiu: "Lu Qiu, Admiral Nalan Yuanshu has arrived in Guangzhou. The Governor's Office will hold a banquet to welcome the Admiral. Everyone in our yamen will donate fifty taels of silver, which is considered to be a filial piety to the Admiral."
