The men and supplies for the support front line in Longzhou were complete, but the team had not been mobilized, and if the fifteen-day travel time limit was missed, it would inevitably be severely punished from top to bottom, especially as the military supervisor of the entire battalion, and the crime would be tripled.

But this week, the old man didn't seem to care at all, and every day he was either drinking or eating tea.

With such a large belly, it is no wonder that people can be big officials, and the small officials below have expressed admiration.

He is not in a hurry, and it is useless for the officials to be in a hurry, so he has to follow his example, drinking wine, eating tea and sleeping every day, such a "lazy wind" spreads to the ears of the people at the bottom of the team, how to describe it? It can only be said that "everyone applauds", after all, no one wants to rush to the battlefield to die.

The dog held a braised pig's trotter in his hand, gnawing while walking, there was a spicy taste in this meat, and it tasted quite exciting, so the dog bought ten in one go, and slowly passed by the post house with the basket on his back, and happened to collide with the old man Zhou who got up early and slipped his legs.

The dog hurriedly saluted.

Old man Zhou waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why did the puppy go early in the morning?" ”

The dog pointed to the pig's trotters in his pocket and said, "I went to the street and bought something." ”

Old man Zhou laughed and said, "This thing is not cheap, is it?" Tell me about you, as soon as you have money, you start spending it indiscriminately. ”

The dog hurriedly said: "Zhou Ye taught him a lesson, but the boy's family has been very poor since he was a child, and now he finally has money, so why don't you spend it hard!" ”

"What a boy's heart!" Old man Zhou shook his head and sighed.

The dog also took the opportunity to say, "Master Zhou, will you try one?" This pig's trotter is quite delicious. ”

Old man Zhou waved his hand and said, "No, eating such a greasy thing early in the morning is not good for the stomach." ”

After saying that, when he saw the dog's mouth curled, he laughed and said: "You are still young, when you reach my age, you will naturally understand, go, play happily for another day, and when the three stewards come tomorrow, we will have to go!" ”

The dog hurriedly thanked him and left with the basket on his back.

Old man Zhou smiled and shook his head.

But after a pillar of incense, he couldn't smile anymore.

There was a bang, and the teacup in his hand slammed on the table, "What did you say?" This kid bought something for a five-horse cart early in the morning? ”

A sergeant in the back hurriedly said: "Yes, as soon as the convoy was opened at the gate of the village, the small one inquired, except for some rice flour cloth is farm tools, flowers and stones and toys!" ”

"Farm tools, flowers, stones, and toys?" Old man Zhou frowned and said, "Why did he buy these things?" ”

The sergeant said: "The farm tools were bought for the villagers in the village, the toys were said to be gifts for the second son of Longzhou Tongju, and the flowers and stones were said to be given to Tongju." ”

Old man Zhou squinted and said, "This guy is a sycophant, by the way, how much rice and flour cloth is in the car?" ”

"There's only one car."

"A car?" Old man Zhou touched his chin and pondered: "I can't spend a few dollars if I think about it, let's go, let's go to him, if it goes on like this, the money will have to be spent by him, so I should rest assured that I should put it here earlier." ”

Old man Zhou led a group of people to the barracks in a hurry, but saw a large group of people inside and outside the door, and after a little inquiry, he knew that these people had come to borrow money from the dog, and there was no interest on the money.

The angry old man Zhou couldn't do it, and a group of people who were whipped scattered and ran away, and when he looked inside, he saw the dog lying on a pile of copper coins like an uncle, and he was talking to a bearded man with paper and pen in his hand.

"What? What do you think happened to your son? No bride price money to marry a daughter-in-law? Is it enough to give you ten times? What? As long as three runs? That's not good, the daughter-in-law married by Sanguan Qian is absolutely as thin as a hemp pole, what? Resolutely do not go ten? Forget it, give you five times, and give you just one point of interest! Go and bring the ink on the table, press a handprint on the note, and you can find Tang Laosan to receive the money! ”

The man thanked Dade for thanking the dog, turned around and dipped the red handprint from the ink on the table, pressed it on the note handed by the dog, and ran out happily.

"Next!"

Tang Xiaoer, who was next to him, shouted at the door vigorously, and quickly lowered his head and said, "The dog is Master Zhou!" ”

"That Zhou Ye?" The dog looked up suspiciously, "Hey, it's Master Zhou!" How did you get here? ”

"Get out!" Old man Zhou shouted angrily.

Seeing that he was angry, the dog got up, tugged at the wrinkled corners of his clothes, and stood respectfully aside.

Old man Zhou glanced at the copper coins on the cover, and then turned around the room left and right, and came back to the dog and asked loudly, "Where is the money?" ”

The dog was stunned for a moment, pointed to a pile of copper coins on the cover and said, "Isn't it!" ”

Old man Zhou said angrily: "Of course I saw it, I'm talking about other money?" ”

The dog said, "Pay the tax!" ”

"The tax is only thirty, what about the rest?" Old man Zhou squinted at the dog.

The dog couldn't bear his powerful aura and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The others are in Tang Laosan's barracks!" ”

Old man Zhou snorted, turned around and asked, "Who is Tang Laosan?" ”

With such a big battle, Tang Laosan ran over early in the morning, heard the official's question, hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, trembled and knelt on the ground and replied: "Xiaomin is!" ”

Old man Zhou rewarded him with a whip and said, "Take me to your barracks!" ”

A group of people walked out of the barracks with a cheer.

The dog smiled, but after a moment he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Say, why are there only four hundred pieces left? What about the rest of the money? ”

The dog, who covered his buttocks with his hands and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down, replied in a low voice: "In addition to the flowers, the only thing left is the five or six dollars on the bed!" ”

Old man Zhou slapped the table and said fiercely: "Don't cry!" ”

The dog quickly stopped crying and looked at him with a frightened expression.

When Old Man Zhou saw it, he angrily pointed at the dog and said, "Tell me about you, you spent so much money at a young age, but the four hundred yuan was spent like this?" You tell me what you bought? ”

The dog chirped, "I bought pig's trotters!" Oops it hurts! ”

Old man Zhou withdrew the whip in his hand and said, "If you dare to play tricks on me again, I will pick your pants and whip your pants next time." ”

The dog covered his buttocks and said obediently: "Back to Master Zhou, the kid bought some flowers and stones, toys, farm tools, and rice and flour cloth for two hundred ......."

Snap, the whip slammed to the ground, and the dog breathed a sigh of relief.

It's obviously his own money, but this battle is like stealing his money, and he doesn't even have a fig leaf to grab it.

"Nonsense! These things, where is it worth two hundred dollars? ”

The dog hurriedly explained: "Master Zhou, those farm tools, rice and flour cloth, and toys only cost about twenty yuan, but those flowers and stones are expensive, and the big one has to ask for ten yuan, so I bought the largest ones in his yard!" ”

Where is the dog reminiscing about the feeling of spending a lot of money, where is Zhou Junjian biting his teeth, if the stone is not out of the village, you can return the money if you pull it back, but at this point, there is no shadow when you run away, even if you pull it back, the businessmen who sell flowers and stones will not ask for it anymore! It's not good to use strong, alas, this loser! Fortunately, I came in time, and there is still half of it left.

Looking up and seeing the dog kneeling on the ground trembling all over, coughing, then I remembered that the money seemed to be this kid, his own approach may be a little too straightforward, his eyes rolled, he smiled and helped the dog up and said: "Little dog, don't be angry, the old man has been a military judge for many years, and the most important thing to waste money is to think about it, if the two hundred yuan is exchanged for food for ten days for a battalion of soldiers, if it is exchanged for arrows......"

As soon as he looked down and saw that the dog was at a loss, he coughed and changed his words: "That, although the money is earned by you, but such a lavish spending, it is all about buying some useless things, it is a pure waste, I see that you lend money to those killers, well, instead of letting them spend it indiscriminately, how about lending it to the army and returning it to you when the war is over?" ”

The dog spat fiercely in his heart, he lent it to the beggars and didn't lend it to the army, not to mention whether he could find someone after the war, just say that he could find someone, do you dare to ask for money at the risk of the steel knife in someone's hand? In the end, it is estimated that the money will be given to you, and the head will be left, and you will really deceive yourself as a fool.

"Back to Master Zhou, if I can call the shots with the four hundred yuan, I am naturally willing!"

Old man Zhou was stunned for a moment, looked at the dog and said, "Isn't the money yours, how can you do it?" ”

The dog said: "The money was originally mine, but this morning, the work sent by the third steward found the boy, and said that the money for buying the pig was paid in advance by the third steward, and since there is money, he will make up the money, which is exactly four hundred." ”

After saying that, the dog stood up, took out a stack of IOUs under the cover, took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to him: "Look at Master Zhou, this is the voucher for buying pigs, as well as the IOU for advance payment, and the boat money for hiring a boat." ”

These things were all written by the dog in the morning from those little stewards, one by one clearly, and he was not afraid of checking them.

Seeing that he lowered his head and looked at the IOU in his hand, the dog said: "Why don't you ask Zhou Ye when the third steward comes, and see if he borrows it?" ”

What can Zhou Junjian say? Tell him not to pay back the money first, and then lend it to the army? I can't say that! I had to sigh heavily and said, "In that case, I'll wait for him to come!" ”

Then get up, well, yes! Took the IOU away.

Seeing a group of people hula out of the door, the dog lay on the cover with relief, and finally sent the person away.

grabbed a handful of copper coins casually, turned his head, straight thief, why did he come back?

"Master Zhou? Is there anything else going on? ”

Old man Zhou said gently: "Get out!" ”

The dog stood up happily, and then, looking at the copper coins on the cover, he took them all into a sack.

"At a young age, you spend a lot of money, and you have to spend all the money and silver, and a certain family will keep it for you first."

Dogs: ......

When it was time for lunch, the dog didn't have time to eat, not because he wasn't hungry or because he was in a bad mood, but because he was busy mourning.

I saw him lying on it in a big shape, with tears in his eyes and muttering in his mouth.

A moment ago, this bunk was still covered with copper coins, and after the "penniless robbers" came, only thirty-two pieces remained, well, thirty-two, alas, so nostalgic for those copper coins, sacrifice to my deceased Brother Fang Kong, woohoo, alas!

There was a bang, and a man ran in, and the dog quickly stuffed the copper coin into the bag and said, "What are you doing?" I have no money! ”

The person who came in waved his hand and said: "Master Gou'er, I don't want to borrow money from you, it was Tang Sanye who asked me to come and tell you that a large group of merchants came from outside the village, and the leader seems to be the third manager." ”

"What, the three fat sheep are here! Hahaha, okay, grab my shoes, I'll meet them! ”
