Chapter 33: The People of Guannai

Ruan Bai looked at Chu Hao. This person tells stories, he doesn't even call Brother Xiao Chu, and he still expects him to call him Brother Hao?

Chu Hao urged: "Hurry up, call Brother Hao." ”

Ruan Bai continued to die: "Didn't wake up from a dream? "Anyway, I won't go to work on the winter solstice today, so go back and get some sleep, dear."

"I'll give it to you when I call it." Chu Hao took it out, took out a copper plate and put it in Ruan Bai's palm.

Ruan Bai looked down and returned the copper plate to Chu Hao: "It's not bad money." "The difference in money is not a copper plate.

"I'll take you to something delicious when I scream." Chu Hao increased his chips and lured, and used the copper plate as a deposit in the dog's paws.

Someone insisted on giving money, so he could only pick up the copper plate: "There is nothing to eat here." "There is almost a restaurant in the whole Shunyang Pass, and he has already learned the craft, but he is not as good as him.

Chu Hao frowned: "Call Brother Hao, teach you archery!" ”

He had played with compound bows, but he didn't dare to imagine Chu Hao's level at all. In the shooting range, even if you move to shoot a target, it is completely different from encountering a fierce beast in the wilderness.

100 steps through the Yang!

Marksman!

Condor Shooter!

Ruan Bai's eyes shone brightly: "Brother Hao! "It's good that someone is going to be his master, and the tuition fee is just a brother, and he earns it!

His voice could only be said to be full of words, and there was no lingering in Chu Hao's dream at all, but Chu Hao's reaction was huge-in an instant, his whole body was stoned! After reacting, Chu Hao disappeared in front of Ruan Bai in the blink of an eye.

Ruan Bai looked down at the breakfast bowl. It was as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen. Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too observant.

He put down the bowl and covered his face as if ...... I'm a little happy...... Wait a minute! He's so happy! He didn't bend himself when he didn't make it!

Big Fat and Little Fat rolled over and put them on his lap, wagging their tails and licking his hands. He buried his face in Mao Tuanzi...... Still a little happy.

"Lord Ruan?"

The strange man asked hesitantly, almost causing Ruan Bai to jump up from the ground in fright. However, his concentration was profound, and he squatted on the ground in a daze, holding two hairy balls with bared teeth, revealing a commercial smile that he had practiced for many years: "Isn't this a shepherd?" Why do you have time to come to the Humble House, are you here to find Lord Chu? ”

When Mu Caiying saw such a smile, she couldn't help but feel a little chill in her heart. Look at it again, it's just a child, I heard that it's almost fifteen, and his thin body is rolled up, no matter how you look at it, she is not at this age, but I didn't expect Chu Hao to like this...... It's really different.

"Shepherd hundreds?" What are you doing looking at him in a daze? His face won't bloom.

Mu Caiying came to his senses and hurriedly said: "It's a holiday, Lord Cao sent some subsidies to the army, and sent them to the next." "Although he didn't come from the war exploits, he had to work the same, but for the sake of his uncle's face, he did some errands and other work.

Speaking of which, Mu Caiying has had ups and downs in order to become this hundred households. Mu Feiwen can be said to have worked hard in Shunyang Pass, even Lord Cao, who is the number one, has to give some face, for example, arranging a harmless job of 100 households to the Mu family.

For the first time, Chu Hao was born. In the face of real military exploits, Mu Caiying could only stand aside;

The second time, Chu Hao, who had just given Mu Caiying a position in hundreds of households, thought he was dead, came back from the grassland. The location of 100 households is limited. Mu Caiying, a hundred households, can only be hung in Mu Feiwen's name, and he is replaced by other thousand households, even if he has a quota under his hand, how can he give it to a person who has nothing to do with him? Even if there are no strong generals under his hands, don't they have a few relatives in their own family?

Just when Mu Caiying was also worried about the left and scared on the right, Chu Hao was promoted. Although Chu Haosheng is a thousand households, he is not pleasing to the eye, but he is not under the nose of the herdsman, and he has no interests to do with him, so he is finally ...... It's still not pleasing to the eye.

"Oh, that's right." Ruan Bai nodded, still didn't mean to stand up, and pointed to the house, "Lord Chu should be in the house, Lord Mu is at his own convenience." ”

It was the first time for Mu Caiying to come over so peacefully, and after taking two steps, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why is such a little ghost so calm? Would he have such an attitude when he saw someone who wanted to take possession of his cattle and sheep and his house?

Although Ruan Bai was not enthusiastic about him, he did not show hostility. Wrong! There is fraud!

Mu Caiying froze at the gate. Will he go in, or will he not go in?

Go in for fear of an ambush. Today's Chu Hao's status in Shunyang Pass is hot, even if it is his uncle of Qianhu, he is invisibly shorter than him. Chu Hao really wanted to teach him a lesson, but he really didn't have anything to reason with.

But if you don't go in...... Doesn't that mean that he is afraid of Chu Hao? Joke! He has fought against Chu Hao so many times, will he be afraid of just one Chu Hao?

Mu Caiying beckoned: "You, go in and report it." ”

Because he had to escort supplies, Mu Caiying also brought a few people this time, of course, only auxiliary troops. The auxiliaries who followed were bewildered. Doesn't it mean that this deserted post has become a human village now? Didn't Lord Ruan just now let them in by themselves? Who is he going to report?

However, Mu Caiying's temper was not good, and the auxiliary army didn't dare to dwell on it, so he stood in the gate with a big grin, and raised his breath: "We're here!" ”

“…… I'll go and call someone for you. Ruan Bai was so good at concentration, his face twitched. He squatted for a little longer and his legs were numb. At this moment he stood up and walked, like a seventy or eighty, and there were two eyeless puppies behind him who stumbled and stumbled, and it was simply difficult to walk.

Ruan Bai moved twice, and finally walked smoothly, first took the empty bowl to the kitchen and put it away, and then casually found someone to ask, "Do you see Chu Hao again?" ”

The person questioned pointed to the roof.

Ruan Bai looked up and saw that Chu Hao was standing straight, with his hands behind his back, with a posture of fighting the top of the Forbidden City.

It's a pity that there is no appearance.

Chu Hao's face is righteous and awe-inspiring when he says it's good, he doesn't have to pretend to be stupid, he looks loyal and honest, and pretending to be stupid is like an honest person being bullied. That's right, it's the virtue now!

"Second brother, brother is wrong." When Chu Hao saw Ruan Bai coming, he jumped down from the roof, his mouth was admitting his mistake, and he looked aggrieved.

Ruan Bai looked at Chu Hao's already calmed state, and pointed outside: "I'll tell you later, someone outside is looking for you." ”

Chu Hao frowned fiercely, wanting to scold, but in the end he only dared to mutter: "I was called Brother Hao just now, and now it's you, yours." ”

Nguyen Bai was unmoved. The tuition fee has been paid in one lump sum, and it is not said that it is paid in installments. Besides, what is this person like his brother? Whose brother will "stand up" to his younger brother? The soul is faint, and it seems to be a little happy when I think about it.

But I didn't have time to make him happy for long, and the daily class time was up.

No matter how strong Ruan Bai's learning ability is, it is obvious that he cannot go from being illiterate to being brilliant in just one or two months. Well, it doesn't take much to be a postman, but it's not extravagant enough to hire a clerk.

What Tian Kaifu told Ruan Bai these days is about some evasion, interspersed with some interpersonal relationships in the court.

Ruan Bai listened very carefully, and suddenly thought: "If I recruit a post house at this station, is it within thirty miles around?" ”

Tian Kaifu raised his eyebrows, picked up a charcoal pencil and sketched on the paper at will: "It is said that it is thirty miles, but in fact, your thirty miles have to be pushed west from the range of Leyangyi." The scope is just a Shunyang Pass. ”

Ruan Bai thought for a while: "There are few villages and towns on the edge of Shunyang Pass, and now there are even more than one in ten. I once asked someone to check, and the disaster was over...... The rest of the people who could escape fled, and I don't know where they are now. Even if these people will be repatriated, if they suffer such a calamity, most of them will be exempted from forced labor, and when the time comes, ...... Where else is there anyone in Shunyang Pass? ”

"Yes, there are many." Tian Kaifu stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Guancheng, "Are you all one person when you are the auxiliary army of the garrison?" ”

"Huh?" Ruan Bai really didn't understand this time.

"How many auxiliary troops came when they couldn't live in their hometowns, and some helped the military camp, at least they could still have something to eat. The conditions are slightly better, and you can also marry and have children. The garrison is naturally a military household, and those auxiliary troops are ...... Hehe. ”

After recruiting post soldiers, Ruan Bai knew how lax the management of the auxiliary army was, almost equivalent to no management.

"So, these people are just ordinary people?" The history of Shunyang Pass is long, and it has been going down for several generations, and now there are a lot of civilians in the city? Since they are ordinary people, they naturally have to serve as conscripts, including post households, of course.

Tian Kaifu laughed twice, no matter how he heard it, he didn't have good intentions: "Well, you have to figure it out yourself." ”

Ruan Bai took a turn in his mind and figured it out. Military households do not need to serve in the conscription, and it is difficult to define whether the auxiliary army is a military household or an ordinary civilian in the current situation. Or even if there is a conscription, it will not be the turn to be a post house, after all, Shunyang Pass has not had a post station for many years.

Although he didn't want many post houses. He has a sixth-class post, and the post guards can only have four people, and the post house can be matched with six at most. It doesn't have to be full, but there must be at least one.

Unlike the post man, the post house is a real hard labor. Especially when he comes to this post station, which doesn't even have a shadow of bricks, he will definitely dig up the earth and burn the bricks to build a house immediately. In this place, even in the beginning of spring, the land may not be able to thaw.

"I'm not worried about that." Ruan Bai was very confident, "I will ask people to beg to come to the door to be a post house." Just from his casual walk, you can know the living conditions of these people, and it is difficult to eat enough.

Don't dare to say anything else, let people eat a full meal, he still thinks he can do it. Besides, from next year, a market town will have to be built on this side of the barren post, and no matter how barren the place is, it will be able to do business. This year, he has come into contact with a lot of businessmen, and the one who has a good relationship is Hu Lao Liu, but Hu Lao Liu himself represents a big caravan, plus the cattle merchant in the capital, he should be about to be trapped, right? Well, it doesn't matter if the cattle merchant is trapped, the key is to trap Xiao Xizi.

Besides, this place is not really barren to the point of being barren, there are mountains and rivers, why can't you? As for living a miserable life? He didn't believe in it.
