Yan Liqiang called Shi Changfeng, and the two of them came to the entrance of the Archery Club, and saw Wang Jianbei in casual clothes and his three followers standing at the entrance of the Archery Club with horses. Wang Jianbei had a calm and warm look on his face, while a burly follower beside Wang Jianbei looked angrily at the students guarding the entrance of the Archery Club. The students at the entrance of the Archery Club stood at the entrance of the Archery Club with spears in their hands, blocking Wang Jianbei and his followers outside the club.
"Greetings, Chief!" Upon seeing Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng coming, a young man wearing a red captain's armband ran over, stood at attention, saluted Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng, and then pointed at Wang Jianbei and the others and said, "These guys just came to the Kyudo Club, and that guy said he was the governor of Pingxi County!"
"Okay, I got it. You continue on duty!" Yan Liqiang nodded.
"Yes!" The young man wearing the captain's armband saluted again, then turned left and ran to the door to continue his duty. During the whole process, Wang Jianbei stood outside the door of the Archery Club and watched with a smile. When he saw the young man wearing the red armband run to Yan Liqiang to report and then run back, a light flashed in Wang Jianbei's eyes that was not easy to detect. As the saying goes, a glimpse of the whole leopard can tell the whole picture. From some details, Wang Jianbei already felt that Yan Liqiang's Archery Club was not simple.
Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng did not stop and walked directly to the door to greet Wang Jianbei.
"Master Wang, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me!" Yan Liqiang smiled and saluted Wang Jianbei, then introduced Shi Changfeng to Wang Jianbei, "This is Shi Changfeng, my former teacher at the National Martial Arts Museum, and now the director of our Kyudo Club. The Kyudo Club is basically managed by Director Shi!"
"Shi Changfeng greets the County Magistrate!"
Wang Jianbei smiled and nodded to Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng, "Not bad, not bad, your Kyudo Club is doing very well now, I was just interested and came here to take a look today, I didn't expect you have so many rules here, the few young men at the door even stopped me!"
"That's right. Your Archery Club is so arrogant. The county magistrate came to inspect and has already stated his identity, but you dare to stop him. Is there any place in Pingxi County that the county magistrate cannot go to?" The angry follower next to Wang Jianbei also said something, seeming very dissatisfied.
"Hahaha, please don't be offended, Lord County Magistrate. These rules are set by me, because before, there were many curious people who liked to come to the Archery Club to inquire, and I was annoyed, so I set these rules. The young men at the door are all performing their duties. In addition, they have never seen the Lord before, so they caused misunderstandings. If I knew that the Lord was coming today, I would lead the students of the Archery Club to run ten miles away to clean water, sprinkle the road, and lay flowers on the ground to welcome the Lord. How could I not let Lord Wang in!" Yan Liqiang laughed, "Lord Wang and a few brothers can blame me if you want to blame me!"
Yan Liqiang gave enough face after saying this, and the anger on Wang Jianbei's follower's face disappeared immediately. He hesitated for a while, and felt a little embarrassed. Wang Jianbei would not be angry either, not to mention the relationship between Yan Liqiang and Lei Sitong. Even if there was no such relationship, he would not be angry after hearing Yan Liqiang's words.
This Yan Liqiang is just like a veteran who has been hanging around in official circles. Can such a person really destroy thousands of people in the Transportation Office without anyone knowing
Wang Jianbei muttered to himself, and after laughing with Yan Liqiang, he walked into the Kyudo Club under Yan Liqiang's leadership.
"By the way, before I came to Liuhe Town, I heard that since your Archery Club was established, the lives of the people in several villages near the Archery Club have begun to improve, and everyone praises it. Why is that?" Wang Jianbei asked while looking at the buildings in the Archery Club.
"Hahaha, sir, do you know how many students there are in my Kyudo Club?" Yan Liqiang asked with a smile.
"I heard there are more than 2,000 people!" Wang Jianbei glanced around and said with emotion, "A Kyudo Club of this size is the best in the Northwest states. Even in the Han Empire, there are not many such clubs. It is a blessing for the local area and the people that such a Kyudo Club is located in Pingxi County!"
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment, sir!" Yan Liqiang smiled. "The more than 2,000 people in this Kyudo Club eat and eat every day, and they consume a lot. And the food that our Kyudo Club purchases every day is purchased from the villagers in the nearby villages. The price we give is good, basically 10% to 20% higher than the market price, and the daily purchase volume is large. As long as they can grow something, whether it is food, vegetables, or even meat and eggs, we will take it. In addition, I also give some handwork such as clothing and utensils for the students in the Kyudo Club to the villagers in nearby villages, and I pay for the purchase. In this way, for the villagers in several nearby villages, as long as our Kyudo Club is there, they will naturally be able to increase a huge income. They didn't have this income before. For them, it's like selling things at the market every day. The villagers have money and their lives are better, so they are naturally happy!"
"Only you, Li Qiang, have the ability to benefit your neighbors with such a generous gesture. It is truly admirable!"
“Hahaha, I’m also from Pingxi County, so naturally I hope that my fellow villagers can live a good life. That first… I wanted to do this before, but I didn’t have the money. Now that I have money, I naturally want to find a way to let my fellow villagers benefit as well!” Yan Liqiang bit his tongue secretly and almost said the words that the rich first will help the poor.
"Not bad, not bad, it's rare that you have such a heart, Li Qiang!" Wang Jianbei nodded, and suddenly changed the subject, asking casually, "By the way, just now I saw that one of the young men guarding the entrance of the Kyudo Club was wearing a red sleeve. What does that mean?"
"Oh, that's the captain's armband, which means the person wearing the armband is the captain guarding the gate of the Archery Club today. He is fully responsible for guarding the gate of the Archery Club today!"
"I saw that person walking and running differently from ordinary people. His movements were quick and neat, and very orderly. Why is that?"
Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng exchanged a glance. Shi Changfeng smiled and spoke, also in a nonchalant manner, "I'm so glad to hear that, sir. This is because there are many new students in the Kyudo Club. These students are young and lively by nature. Liqiang feels that the Kyudo Club is difficult to manage because there are too many people and there is a lack of discipline, so he established a set of rules, requiring the students of the Kyudo Club to follow the rules when walking, running and moving. First form the rules, then you can achieve order!"
Wang Jianbei smiled and said, "I find it quite interesting. I wonder if Li Qiang can let me see how the students in the Kyudo Club usually train today?"
"Of course!" Yan Liqiang also laughed.
Shi Changfeng glanced at Yan Liqiang - is this appropriate
It’s okay, just look—Yan Liqiang blinked at Shi Changfeng.
Afterwards, Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng brought Wang Jianbei and others to the podium of the martial arts training ground. When they arrived, the students of the Kyudo Club on the martial arts training ground were all resting. Groups of students gathered together and played the game of pushing circles on the martial arts training ground. The games ranged from one-on-one to a hundred against a hundred. It was a complete melee. People in the circle were fighting hard, and people outside the circle were watching and cheering and whistling loudly. There were at least hundreds of large and small pushing circle games on the entire smoke field, and the field was filled with a youthful and cheerful atmosphere.
"Hahaha, full of energy, full of energy, that's what young people should be like!" Seeing this scene on the martial arts field, County Magistrate Wang Jianbei also laughed happily. As the County Magistrate of Pingxi County, he was also happy to see the young people in Pingxi County so energetic. Then he turned his head and looked at Yan Liqiang, "I wonder when we can have the drill!"
"Anytime!" Yan Liqiang smiled and nodded to Shi Changfeng. Shi Changfeng gestured to a trumpeter standing next to the platform. The trumpeter picked up the horn at his waist, gathered his strength, and blew three short "toot toot" sounds...
As soon as the horn sounded, in just a moment, all the students of the Kyudo Club who were originally having fun in the martial arts field, all moved. No matter whether they were sitting on the ground, standing, playing the pushing circle game or watching, everyone did only one thing when they heard the horn. They jumped up immediately, dropped what they were doing, and gathered towards their team's area as quickly as possible.
The Ganzhou veterans who served as instructors blew the whistles on their necks, and everyone quickly returned to their positions as the whistles sounded. Standing on the rostrum of the martial arts arena, the people on the martial arts arena were originally like a group of scattered sand, but in the blink of an eye, the scattered sand began to quickly gather together...
“Look forward!”
"Look to the right!"
"At ease!"
"stand at attention!"
"Report the number..."
“1” “2” “3” “4” “5” “6”…
The team that quickly gathered on the entire martial arts field stomped their feet, and the ground of the entire martial arts field began to vibrate like a drum being beaten. In this vibration, the team that gathered on the entire martial arts field began to quickly align themselves front and back, left and right, and then the sound of counting was heard one after another...
Before the voice of the count was over, Wang Jianbei, who was standing on the rostrum, was already shocked, because in less than two minutes, he saw a large and neat standard square formation appear in front of him, just like a magic trick. The soldiers of several battalions in Pingxi County would never be able to form such a neat formation in such a short time. Even if they were given another hour, they might not be able to form such a neat and solemn formation...
