Outside the city of Jiangzhou, the township military camp. When the more than 300 villagers looked at the sacks of grain piled up like a hill in front of them, and the few willow wooden boxes with the lid open to reveal the golden copper coins inside, almost all of them could not believe that all this was real.

Until Sun Tu said to them in a loud voice: "This official promised you a long time ago that he would send you all the money and grain owed to you before, and I will fulfill this promise today." ”

After being stunned for a moment, a burst of cheers finally broke out in the team, and many people were so happy that they shed tears and shouted: "The regimental training is mighty...... Tuan Lian Yingming ......: "They are already short of words, and they don't know what to say to express their gratitude to Sun Tu.

That's three months of money, and I and my family don't have to worry about survival for a while, and many people don't have to go to the fields or shops in the city to do the hardest work, get the least pay, and always be looked down upon, which is really the best result they can dream of.

But Sun Tu then pressed his hand down hard, signaling everyone to calm down, and then continued: "The official can give you the money and grain that you owe, and not only that, but the official can also assure you that from today onwards, every penny of your food and salary will no longer be deducted, let alone be in arrears. But all this, but you have to use your performance in exchange, the court spent so much money and food to support you not to look good, but to hope that you, the village soldiers, can play a role in protecting the family and defending the country. Moreover, according to the laws of our army, all those who are disabled, under the age of 14 and over 60 years old, are not allowed to join the army, and must be replaced by strong men in their families, but look at yourself, I am afraid that no less than half of the people here do not conform to this rule, right? ”

The township soldiers who were still full of joy immediately showed a look of panic: "The regimental training, the small ones are also forced to ...... out of desperation" Their words were interrupted again by Sun Tu waving his hand: "You naturally have your own hardships, but this official has his own responsibilities when he comes with the emperor's order, and he will never leave unqualified people in the barracks because of this." But don't worry, the money and food owed to you before will still be paid to you by the official, and in addition, as long as you have young and strong children in your family, you can also enter the army on your behalf. ”

His words did not elicit a response from too many people, and those who were old or disabled were embarrassed and obviously could not accept this request.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty Yangwen suppressed the military, the status of the officers and soldiers in the army was quite low, not only was there a risk of being deducted from time to time, but also in the city, he was also looked down upon, if there was no other way out, who would want to become a local village soldier?

Sun Tu also saw the concerns in their hearts, so he said: "This official knows that this little money and food alone is not enough to support the family, so I can also assure you and others that as long as they are qualified soldiers who can enter our township army, not only will there be no shortage of money and food, but also the land you deserve will be allocated, so that you will no longer have to worry about the future." ”

In fact, no matter whether the status is low or not, whether they need to practice on weekdays, it is not a problem for these honest people of the Great Song Dynasty, the most important thing is to be guaranteed because of this, and it is one thing to pay the army in place

It is even more important to be able to get land from the government, which is the foundation of their foothold.

But these soldiers were still suspicious, and after hesitating for a while, they saw one of them boldly asking, "Sun Tuanlian, what you said is true?" As long as we can stay in the army, we will be able to get another share of the land? ”

"That's natural, as soon as the official says it, there is no possibility of breaking his word!" Sun Tu's answer was sonorous and powerful: "Ten days ago, this official promised you that you would definitely send the money and food owed to you by the government as soon as possible, and if you dare to say this today, you will naturally help you achieve your wishes." ”

As he spoke, he fused again: "Okay, the official won't say anything superfluous, after you receive the money and food, go back and think about it." However, this official still has to talk about the front first, starting tomorrow, I will practice everyone, but if there are those who do not meet my requirements, they will be cleared out of the ranks of the village soldiers, and it is better to have a shortage than an indiscriminate! As he spoke, he motioned to the more than a dozen strong people among the village soldiers who had been selected by him earlier to take down bags of grain and distribute them to each soldier according to the previous regulations.

When hundreds of catties of rations and ten copper coins were distributed to every soldier who came forward in line, many people were so excited that they burst into tears again, and they thanked Sun Tu for his recreation. These things originally belonged to them, but they just did what a boss should do, so they were so grateful to Dade, in fact, the people today are too kind.

Luda and Yang Zhi, who accompanied and watched all this all the way, also sighed a lot: "San Lang, it seems that the requirements for being a soldier are really not high, you and I should really do more things for them as officials." ”

"Yes, in comparison, the princes of the court and the central government should indeed feel ashamed. I have a good son in the Song Dynasty who is willing to serve his family and country, but it is only because he is blocked by this world that he will be useless. And what you and I have to do here is to give these people a chance to show their talents! ”

While talking, two people suddenly came outside the camp gate, and after seeing the lively scene in the camp, they were all stunned, and then walked in with some hesitation, and saluted Sun Tu, who had already turned his head to look at them: "Huang Wenbing, a grass man, has seen Sun Tuanlian. ”

"Huh?" Sun Tu felt that this name seemed a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember when he had dealt with the middle-aged man in front of him, who was of medium stature, with a slightly pale complexion, and had triangular eyes, so he asked lukewarmly: "I don't know what Your Excellency is doing in my camp?" At the same time, he had secretly made a decision in his heart, just waiting for these village soldiers to look like something, they had to let people guard the camp gate, and they couldn't let outsiders break in casually.

"This ......" Huang Wenbing seemed to be embarrassed, and did not give an answer immediately.

Sun Tu was not afraid that he would do anything unfavorable to him, so he pointed to the Chinese military barracks on the side and said, "Please come inside and talk about it before it's too late." This immediately won the other party's approval, so he nodded, and then followed Sun Tu's footsteps into the barracks, only Luda and Yang Zhi were still watching outside, in case something went wrong in the distribution of money and food.

After the two of them entered and sat down, Huang Wenbing smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Sun Tuanlian is really a grand duke."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

selflessly, he actually distributed all the money and food to all the soldiers, which is really admired in my heart. ”

"Haha, Mr. Huang has an overreputation, and the official just did what he had to do." Sun Tu waved his hand disapprenosingly, and then looked at the other party: "As a martial artist, this official doesn't like to talk in circles, so let's just say what your purpose is here." ”

"Yes, yes, in fact, I am here to make amends to Sun Tuanlian for your sins. Just a few days ago, Tuan Lian had sent someone to Han's house to mention the matter of using money to buy back the land that the villagers had sold to my family. At that time, he was in the lower body, and everything was handled by the family steward, and he refused the group practice because he was thinking about it, which was really inappropriate. With that, Huang Wenbing stood up solemnly again and apologized to Sun Tu again and again.

Sun Tu sat there without any expression, just watched the other party's movements, and asked after a while: "So Huang Yuan came here today to ......"

"Naturally, it is to return these fields to Zhao." Huang Wenbing immediately took out a few land deeds from his sleeve and carefully held them with both hands: "Actually, I bought these fields with the money to help people solve their difficulties, but I didn't dare to take the Zhongtian soil for myself." Please also ask Sun Tuanlian not to blame. ”

Sun Tu's gaze swept over the land deeds, the number of acres written on it is really not small, there are as many as forty-six or seven acres, according to the current land price, how can it be worth two or three hundred yuan, when even laughed: "Then the official will go and ask someone to get the original note, and hand over the money to buy the land to you?" ”

"No, don't dare." Huang Wenbing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I have already said just now, I bought the land to help people solve difficulties, and now I naturally dare not charge Sun Tuanlian a penny." This is to contribute to my Jiangzhou township soldiers, and I hope that Sun Tuan's training can be completed. As he spoke, he had already bowed his hand, and if Sun Tu refused to answer, he would not dare to straighten his waist.

The smile on Sun Tu's face became more and more prosperous: "I can't imagine that there is a righteous person like Mr. Huang in Jiangzhou City, who puts the overall situation first, which really makes this official grateful." Well, since you insist on this, the official is a beautiful person, so he accepted these few land deeds. ”

Hearing this, Huang Wenbing breathed a sigh of relief, his face was much more relaxed, and then he said modestly: "I don't deserve such praise for the group practice, I'm just doing what a businessman should do." In the future, Sun Tuanlian has instructions, and he will try his best to cooperate in the future. ”

"Well said. Today's camp is busy with affairs, so I won't talk to you more, and he will invite Mr. Huang to come to the barracks to talk later. Sun Tu said, and got up to see off the guests. The other party was also interested, and quickly got up, and after not daring to say anything, they had already walked out of the barracks together.

It wasn't until Huang Wenbing left that Luda and the others knew from Sun Tu why he came here, and they couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is this person willing to return the land deed without repayment?" Did he have any plans in his mind? ”

"No, this person doesn't want anything, he's just a smart guy who knows the times." Sun Tu smiled, then raised his eyebrows, he finally remembered why the name Huang Wenbing was familiar, isn't this the Jiangzhou villain who almost killed Song Jiang in the Water Margin story?
