South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 213 Autumn Training

A few days later, Niu Dali's resignation application was approved. Now there is not a shortage of employees, but too many. The railway will not retain anyone who resigns. Moreover, Niu Dali is not an employee in an important position. To put it bluntly, he is just a boiler stoker. The railway has no shortage of such people.

So in the early morning of that day, Niu Dali did not disturb anyone, carried his luggage and left the compound. Before leaving, he left a letter at Yao Yuling's door.

Finally, he stood at the gate of the compound and looked back at the compound where he had lived for many years. Then he turned around and left resolutely. He didn't know how long he would be gone, and he would not come back unless he succeeded.

Niu Dali first took a car to Kyoto to find Yuan Mu. Yuan Mu was a little surprised at Niu Dali's arrival, but he was still very happy in his heart. It seemed that Niu Dali had thought it through thoroughly, which was a good thing. Compared with Hou Sanjin, Yuan Mu was more willing to believe Niu Dali.

Niu Dali stayed in Kyoto for three days. During these three days, Yuan Mu told him a lot of things that he needed to pay attention to when doing business. Niu Dali wrote down the things he couldn't remember in a notebook.

Yuan Mu did not tell Niu Dali what way to make money right away, but asked him to follow Hou Sanjin first and be Hou Sanjin's assistant, starting from this position. After he has accumulated a certain amount of experience, Yuan Mu will invest in Niu Dali to set up a new company and let him separate from Hou Sanjin and work on his own.

By then, Niu Dali's business can be expanded to the Northeast. After all, the market in the Northeast is almost blank. However, we have to wait for two years. Yuan Mu's influence is not enough now. If Niu Dali comes earlier, he will inevitably be bullied.

There are so many gangsters in this era that it would be strange if people from other places were not bullied. Yuan Mu would wait and see where he would be assigned a job after graduation. At that time, he would let Niu Dali bring the business over and he would be able to take care of it himself.

Yuan Mu knew the importance of economy in his previous life. If he wanted to pursue a career in government, he must first make himself without any weaknesses. He wanted to make more money before the country explicitly stipulated that state officials were not allowed to do business, so that others would not be able to corrupt him with money.

He has always known that he is not a saint. Maybe a small amount of money cannot move him. For example, he may not even look at a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. But what if it is five hundred thousand or one million? Or even a few million or tens of millions? Will he not be tempted? Yuan Mu cannot guarantee this.

Only if he is financially well-off now can he work hard in the future. Besides, he cannot personally deal with matters such as equity. After a few years, Yuan Mu will transfer the equity to other people, such as Zhou Xiaobai, and let her hold the shares on his behalf.

Moreover, the assets obtained by oneself must be reported to the Discipline Inspection Commission under one's jurisdiction in order to prevent others from making trouble about this matter and to eliminate potential risks.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Time has passed quickly and it is September, and we have officially entered autumn. Although it is autumn, the climate is still quite hot. The weather in Kyoto is like a big furnace, and people are restless due to the heat.

On September 3rd, the university officially opened, and Yuan Mu returned to campus again. As expected, he successfully skipped a grade. He was supposed to be a sophomore, but now he has become a junior, and is a classmate of Gao Yuliang and Wei Huatian.

Yuan Mu had excellent grades in all subjects and had written many representative papers. Professor Wu specially fought for this opportunity for Yuan Mu. The school leaders held a meeting to discuss the matter and agreed to Yuan Mu's application to skip a grade.

A few days later, the school organized a training march. The purpose of this training march was to let students experience the hardships that their ancestors had experienced. The distance of this training march was quite long, from the Haidian campus to Shunping Commune in Pinggu, a total of nearly 90 kilometers.

People of this era generally have good physical fitness, and hard work and endurance are basic capabilities. Regardless of gender, everyone must participate in this training and must not participate without reason. No special excuses will be accepted. If you do not participate without reason, then you'll be punished.

However, the scale of this training was not very large. Only the four departments of law, criminal investigation, political science, and philosophy participated in the training. There are still too few people who can be admitted to university, and many departments have no students. These four departments only gathered a few hundred people, which is almost a battalion.

On the other hand, this is not a local place after all, this is Kyoto, and if there are too many people, it will not have a good impact. The school applied to the superiors for this training, and the superiors finally agreed after a meeting.

This time, everyone brought tents, pots and pans, and all their food, clothing, housing and transportation were taken care of in the wild.

Yuan Mu had no objection to this matter. It was quite nice to take a stroll. He had actually always wanted to visit the scenery of Kyoto, but he had never had much time before. Today he finally had the opportunity.

On September 11, hundreds of students and dozens of teachers put on their backpacks. As for the tents and pots and pans, everyone took turns carrying them. In fact, the school had vehicles, but in order to achieve the purpose of this training, they resolutely decided not to use any external force.

Moreover, students are not allowed to buy their own food for this training. All food is provided by the school, which consists of some radishes and cabbages. The staple food is rice and millet, and there is basically nothing else.

With so much baggage, everyone couldn't walk fast, so they planned to take four days for the round trip. That is to say, everyone had to walk at least 40 kilometers a day with so much baggage.

This was naturally a piece of cake for Yuan Mu, but it was not very friendly to others, especially since there were quite a few girls among the hundreds of people, and their physical fitness was relatively weaker.

Soon the team set off in a mighty manner. At the beginning, everyone was quite excited and talking and laughing, but after reaching the 15th kilometer mark, no one could laugh anymore.

The weather is so hot, and with so much baggage, it would be strange if they could feel comfortable. The person leading the team this time is the school's principal, who used to be a soldier but later retired due to injury.

Because he likes teaching and is also a very good student, he became a teacher after demobilization and is now the dean of studies at Kyoto University of Political Science and Law. He has very good physical fitness. He is over 50 years old this year, but after running 15 kilometers, you can't see much fatigue on his face.

At this time, he kept encouraging everyone and telling stories about the Long March of their ancestors.

This made Yuan Mu admire him very much. Although he only had a backpack as a burden, his age was there after all. He was over 50 years old, and it was not easy for him to have such momentum.
