Chapter 454: The Transformation of a Soldier
Just when Libaihu and the soldiers with him were surprised by the success of the sneak attack, Libaihu suddenly did not move. His throat socket was held straight in place by a wooden stick, and the other end of the stick was the right hand of the prefect. At this time, the prefect of the Wang Mansion had changed his posture at some point, twisted like a twisted flower, his head and chest were facing the hundreds of households, and his legs had squatted down at some point.
The prefect of the king did not move his hands and head, and his body slowly stood up. Facing the hundreds of households, he asked disdainfully: "Do you still need to continue?" ”
Li Baihu wanted to scream: "Keep up the fart!" I can't move my whole body, how can I continue? He took a few steps back, but the stick on top of him stood still as if it had grown on himself. I was anxious and panicked in my heart, lest this prefect would take the opportunity to abolish him.
At this time, Mr. Xiao looked around at a group of people who were dumbfounded, and saw that they were all like idiots, just knowing that they were staring and watching, but none of them knew how to come forward to help, so they felt worthless for being angry with these people before, which was a waste of feelings. He walked up to Xiaolong and praised Xiaolong politely and courteously: "The prefect of the king's mansion is talented!" I didn't expect that Wen Neng was the champion, and his martial arts were so profound. Xiao is really blind! This competition has been lost by hundreds of households, so there is no need to continue! Governor Wang's mansion might as well go to Xiao's mansion to rest and have a cup of tea! ”
Xiaolong shook his head: "Thank you, Lord Commander!" There are too many things going on here, everything is a mess, and the official has to be present in person. After a while, everything is on the right path, and then go to the mansion of the chief soldier to disturb him. ”
Xiao Zongbing also knew that Governor Wang would not go to him at this time. It's just a polite invitation, as if it's ashamed of people. At the moment, he laughed and said, "That's okay! Governor Wang, you are busy, and you just need to open your mouth where you need Xiao. These soldiers and Xiao of Libaihu took them back to train well. No longer arrange for them to come over and do things. Can the prefect agree? ”
Today, there are more soldiers watching from a distance, and as long as the great mentality of these martial arts soldiers is struck, Xiaolong's goal will be achieved. He didn't care if these people could do anything here. In fact, he had long wanted to get rid of them, but he just didn't want to stiffen his relationship with Mr. Xiao. Xiao Zongbing couldn't ask for them to take them away, so he half-jokingly replied: "The Chief Soldier should have done this a long time ago!" I didn't see what they looked like before, but in the past few days when the official came, I just saw them grabbing meat and eating or not grabbing work, and I was thinking about how to return these goods that didn't work with the general soldier! ”
Libaihu and some of the soldiers who followed him suddenly remembered that this was the time to go back to training. But it's going to be the kind of day when I don't see meat for months. Immediately, they all became frightened, and wailed again and again: "Lord Wang! Commander-in-Chief! We're willing to work hard, let's stay here and work! ”
Xiao Zongbing's nephew. Secretly scolded them for deserving it! The work here is to carry large blue bricks and large stones, which is indeed very hard. But the food is good! In the morning, the white flour steamed buns are full, and there is an egg to replenish the body, and there are also mutton bone soup, beef bone soup, and pork bone soup on the steamed buns. At noon, it is two rice (rice made of rice and millet) to fill up. One meat, one vegetarian and two dishes. Sometimes it's fish, sometimes duck, sometimes rabbit, sometimes goose, sometimes pork, anyway, no matter what kind of meat, one person is a big spoon. Some people can't finish their stomach snacks, and some people have bad intestines and can't eat too much oily meat. Then they were targeted by hundreds of households, and forcibly separated their meat dishes for supper. As a chief, he naturally had someone complain to him, but he felt that this matter should be handled by the people who managed the construction site by the government, and it was difficult for him to interfere. Hehe! It's good now. I couldn't even drink the soup, and I finally got home. No one cares.
Xiaolong is not the kind of person who can be moved by a casual sentence or two, he smiled at Xiao Zongbing, didn't say a word, and walked to the construction site with his entourage. Some soldiers on the construction site over there stood on a high place to watch the excitement, and when they saw the prefect coming towards them, they all hurried back to their respective places to work.
Deng Geng, the steward who managed their area, asked unhappily: "Why did it take you so long to move bricks?" If you really don't want to do it, tell your general soldier and transfer you back. We don't stand in the way! If you want to work, do it well, don't be lazy one or two. You are all adults, so you should not be like an ignorant child, and you have to be supervised by others. ”
The soldiers who were said to be laughed at each other and no longer looked at each other angrily as before. Although these soldiers were standing a little far away just now, they couldn't hear what the chief soldier and the prefect were saying, but they could see it. The prefect is only a civil official, so he can have such good archery and equestrian skills, these supervisors, who specialize in protecting the safety of the prefect, how capable should they be! Such a capable person, but never stretched out his hand to beat and scold them, and he couldn't get used to them and just said harsh things like now, and now that I think about it, I am really polite enough to them soldiers. I figured out that the overseers sent by the prefect were very merciful to them, and they also examined themselves one by one.
The place where the mutual market was built was chosen outside the border city, and in order to prevent the Western Xinjiang people from suddenly attacking, they all had knives pinned to their waists. At that time, they were indignant because of this, they thought that the people of the prefect's family were overseers, and they did not need to be tired, and once the Westerners attacked, they would definitely be able to run fast, while their soldiers had to drag their tired bodies to resist the Westerners.
Now it seems that this is not the case, the people of the prefect's family are good at kung fu, archery, and equestrianism, if there is really an attack by the people from the western Xinjiang, only sixty or seventy of them can resist it, and the defenders in the city will come out to help, and they can completely save everyone's lives. When you think about it carefully, it really looks like that, so it seems that they have always been thinking about it. Since you know that you are wrong, you must correct your attitude, and if you are really sent back to the army, you will have to have pickles and bud rice porridge every day.
This is mostly desert land, with little food, less vegetables, and less meat. Although the imperial court's tax revenue has increased several times, it is very limited to give more to the army. Everything here is several times more expensive than elsewhere, and for the same military salary, soldiers elsewhere can eat and drink spicy food, while they can only eat a full stomach. Vegetables can only be eaten once every few days, and meat dishes may not be eaten once in a few months.
Since the prefect wanted to build a mutual market here, he recruited all these soldiers to do hard work, white flour steamed buns, eggs, and broth in the morning, two rice tubes and a spoonful of meat at noon, and two rice and a spoonful of meat in the evening. The soldiers who had never eaten so well when they were so old were originally grateful, and they were very active in their work, although they felt bitter and tired, but they were able to persevere. It's just that later I heard that they were doing caesthetical disasters for the overseers of the prefect's family, and they could die at any time, and they couldn't be grateful one by one, and they had a faint resentment in their hearts.
At this time, these soldiers knew in their hearts that they had been maliciously misled before, so they all consciously corrected their attitudes and moods. I want to have a good relationship with the overseer, and no longer treat each other badly.
Deng Geng saw that these soldiers who were talked about not only did not stare at him like before, but seemed to be about to fight him at any time. Instead, with a flattering smile on his face, he nodded again and again and said that he would not be in the future. It's puzzled, this attitude has changed too quickly, right? Got the wrong medicine?
He shook his head and ignored the men, and went somewhere else. I happened to see the adults in front of me behind their hands, deliberately taking square steps, swaying over, followed by Brother Chen who was leading the horse, and Brother Li who was protecting the left side of the adult empty-handed. He greeted Xiaolong with a smile and greeted Xiaolong with a teasing 'wicked smile': "My lord! I heard you did something 'big'? ”
Xiaolong tilted his head, grinned, and shrugged: "Hmm! Picking up a few disgusting flies is quite a big deal, and your work will be easier in the future. ”
"Yikes! Thank you, sir! ”
"Hmmm! This is what Lord Ben loves to hear! You'll have to think about how to thank Ben-sama! Today, Lord Ben is putting life and death aside for you, and you can't fight this in vain! ”
Deng Geng twitched the corners of his mouth, secretly annoyed that he was too cheap, knowing that the adults wanted to go to heaven if they built a ladder, he actually said something thank you or not, now it's okay, and wait for the adults to blackmail to death!
"My lord! If I say the wrong thing, you don't hear it! ”
Xiaolong smiled and turned his head to ask the two who followed, "Did you hear?" ”
Brother Chen and Brother Li looked at the remorseful Deng Geng with amusement, and replied in unison: "I heard it!" ”
Deng Geng pointed at the two of them and said hatefully: "You two will help the adults!" Adults will one day blackmail you, to death, death, death, death, see if you still help like this? ”
Xiaolong looked at Deng Geng very innocently, when did he blackmail them? It's just that occasionally using the past favors to let them do something for themselves, isn't it natural?!
"Go get busy! You don't have pants to wear if you don't blackmail, don't be scared like a little chick, you don't have any courage at all! ”
"Yes! My lord, then go around by yourself! Deng Geng hurriedly ran to the side, but he didn't dare to talk to Lord Wang anymore.
Xiaolong built a wall with a little height along it, and stopped and stopped, mainly to see if there were any craftsmen cutting corners and doing what hollow walls came out.
This mutual market Xiaolong did not plan to build as formal as the Northland Mutual Market, with shops and inns, and what he wanted to build was similar to the original Hepu Town Market Market.
Because there was no real friendly diplomatic relationship between the Great People's Dynasty and Western Xinjiang, this mutual market was actually a bazaar unilaterally targeted by Xiaolong for Western Xinjiang. One episode every five days, and there are no fixed shops or inns. It's a shed that shelters from the sun and rain. However, for the safety of the merchants of the Great Min Dynasty, Xiaolong built a wall that was taller than the city wall, thicker and stronger, and had a lookout window and a shooting window. In this way, once a person from the West suddenly comes to rob, he can also see in advance, as long as the door is closed before the arrival of a large number of people who want to rob in the West Xinjiang, the safety of the merchants can be guaranteed. Therefore, this wall is very important, and Xiaolong is not at ease, so he will personally come to supervise it until it is completed. (To be continued.) )
