Thundered! Thundered!

In the early morning, the capital was awakened by a rumbling sound, many busy people got up from bed, and those who got up early were expressionless, ignoring this sound. At the tea stall at the gate of the city, people waiting to enter the city sat here drinking tea, listening to the sounds outside, and some people wondered: "What are you doing here?" ”

It was a thin man in his thirties who spoke, and he looked around with some confusion, and found that no one cared, so he couldn't help but speak in a much lower tone.

Opposite the man was an old man in his fifties, who heard the young man's words and said with a smile: "What else can it be, the students of the Martial Arts Academy are running, they started three years ago, and they scared everyone at the beginning, and now everyone is no longer surprised." Saying that, the old man pointed to the shop that was open not far away, and continued with a smile: "Now that the merchants have developed a habit, they get up and open the door when they hear the sound of running. ”

"The students of the martial arts academy run very punctually, every day is this time, not early or late, they ran over, and the city gate opened."

The young man nodded, and then said with a smile: "O students of the Martial Academy! I know this, I've heard it for a long time, it is said that many courtiers have written to ask for the release of the assessment qualifications of the martial arts academy, not in the children of Enyin or Xungui, but for everyone to be able to take the exam, and the court and the central government have been discussing, and there seems to be no result. ”

This topic seemed to have attracted the attention of others, and a bearded man with a hitchhiker on his back said on the side: "It's all nonsense, it's impossible to let go, if you want your son to enter the martial arts academy, let's go to the army!" His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven's Black Dragon Army expanded its recruitment last year, and it almost didn't break my head, and I didn't even go to the initial inspection. ”

The bearded man's words immediately aroused everyone's interest, and the young man hurriedly smiled and said, "I heard that the Black Dragon Army is treated very well!" ”

Hearing this, the bearded man pouted: "Isn't that very good, but very good, two taels of silver a month, and you can still be rewarded for meritorious service, cut off the head of a tartar, and the reward of forty taels of silver, and you will earn all of it." Those who died in the war have a pension of eighty taels, and how many people want to pin their heads to their belts. ”

"The most important thing you know? It is the Black Dragon Army that eats well, three meals a day, eggs and meat, not to mention others, in recent years, Huangzhuang has not been able to raise pigs and chickens. ”

"The Black Dragon Army's procurement buys chickens and pigs everywhere, last year, the Black Dragon Army's procurement was forced to have no choice, and the money was given to the farmers to buy piglets and chickens, so that the farmers raised them, and the Black Dragon Army was responsible for buying them back, and those farmers are now making money. I didn't catch up, I have a relative, who was originally a tenant, and was dragged by the Black Dragon Army to raise pigs. ”

"I raised more than 70 heads a year, earned more than a dozen taels of silver, and it is said that I am going to buy a house in the west, tsk, the price of meat in the capital has been eaten by the Black Dragon Army, and they are not tired of eating meat every day."

The tone was full of envy and jealousy.

When everyone heard this, they immediately sighed, obviously envious, at this time, a group of people walked not far away, wearing the same clothes, and the bearded man said with a smile: "See, there are no craftsmen over there, all of them are craftsmen from the steel factory, everyone didn't want to go before, but now they can't get in if they want to go." ”

The young man turned his head to look over, and found that those people were all dressed in gray clothes, very strange, and there was also a "steel mill" written on the back, and he couldn't help but ask with some confusion: "Are those people craftsmen?" ”

"It's a craftsman!" The bearded man said enviously: "The craftsmen in the steelmaking mill, the craftsmen who do ordinary work, one tael of silver a month, take care of the rice, and get bonuses for doing a lot of work, those master craftsmen, which one is not dozens or hundreds of taels." Tsk, it's really enviable, no one went when I recruited craftsmen three years ago, and now I can't go if I want to. ”

The young man became interested and asked with a smile, "Recruiting craftsmen?" Do the craftsmen of the imperial court still use tricks? ”

"You don't know that, do you?" The bearded man swallowed a sip of tea and said proudly: "The steelmaking mill is run by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the steelmaking is to build equipment for the Black Dragon Army. ”

"How many weapons are there!" The young man sighed and said, "How much steel do you have to use?" ”

The bearded man clapped his hands and said, "Ah! Therefore, there are not enough craftsmen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince transferred all the people from the War Bureau and the Ministry of Industry, but it is still not enough, so it is recruited externally, these craftsmen are not the same as the original craftsmen, the original craftsmen can work for a lifetime, and they can let their sons take over, and these recruited later are all signed contracts. ”

"Three-year contract, if you don't do it well, you have to get out, one or two silver a month, how many people went at that time, but unfortunately we don't have that skill!"

The young man's heart suddenly yearned.

The bearded man saw the appearance of the young man, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are not very old, you can go to the account room, the salary given by the money bank is higher, and the salary of an account room is five taels, and the money earned is all evil." ”

The young man smiled, but did not speak.

At this time, the city gate was opened, everyone hurried into the city, the young man looked at a large group of people waiting to enter the city, flocked in, and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been to the capital for four years, this change is really big!" ”

The old man beside the young man smiled and said, "This is a big change, it's not just going to the city!" After speaking, the old man looked at the young man meaningfully.

"yes!" The young man nodded, and said with emotion: "In the northwest for five years, I have washed away the glitz, and now I am not the same as I was five years ago. Five years ago, I never imagined that I would be carrying a knife to cut someone. ”

"Bohu!" The old man called the young man affectionately, and then said: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interceded for you and sent you to the northwest border, obviously with the idea of honing you. ”

Tang Bohu turned his head to look at the old man, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Liao, for four years, I have been listening to what I want to ask, who are you?" Does the treasurer of the strange fast know so many things? I don't believe it. But no matter who you are, Tang Yin has been taken care of by you in the past four years, and I may have died in the northwest without you. ”

"This kindness, Tang Yinming felt helpless, and he will never forget it!" Saying that, Tang Bohu bowed to the ground at Liao Yuan.

"Taking care of you is the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want to thank His Royal Highness the Prince." Liao Yuan said with a smile: "As for my identity, I am now the shopkeeper of the Qiwei Zhai Beijing Store." ”
