There are now five or six families like the Lin family brothers, who live in these small courtyards of more than ten rooms.

The three servant women were responsible for pulping laundry, drying bedding, sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard of the room, and of course picking vegetables and cooking, and cooking a few catties of pork for the elderly and children every few days.

Relatively speaking, it is quiet here, and the scenery is not bad, the riverbank near the river, the dense forest, the shrubs, the reeds, and the large vegetable fields behind you are all reassuring and calm.

Of course, there are also shortcomings, the nearby vegetable fields are watered with manure, and the smell of the pig pen and chicken coop sometimes comes with the wind, but for the farmers, this taste is not enough to mention.

The two brothers walked along the path into the courtyard, the green bricks were all over the ground, the cleaning was quite neat and clean, the yard was not small, and the rope that stopped it hung with freshly washed robes.

Speaking of which, this condition and environment are much better than the previous Lin family, Lin Da and Lin Lao Er nodded to each other when they saw it.

They came out on leave, only for half an hour, and they didn't delay at the moment, and when they heard the movement between the stoves in the east wing, they crashed into it.

More than a dozen old people and children were eating around the table, and like the soldiers, they were half white rice and half yellow rice, and everyone ate very sweet.

The dish is a dish of steamed fish on each small table, a boiled green vegetable, although there are only two dishes, it is better than the enough salt to give, regardless of the old people and children are all raising a bowl to eat, although the weather is cold, the stove is very warm, with the aroma of the meal, people have a warm and pleasant feeling.

A few servant women sat on the side and gossiped, and when they saw the Lin brothers coming in, one of the servants smiled and said, "The eldest and second have come to see your Azu again." ”

"Yes." Boss Lin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law of the He family has worked hard. ”

"Boss Lin, you became a martial artist, did you still study?" The woman surnamed He smiled: "Now I am more and more able to speak." ”

"Isn't it?" Boss Lin thought for a while, stroked his chin and said, "I think the same way in my own family." ”

Lin Lao Er said: "Although we don't know a few words yet, and we don't have time to learn, but every night there are lecturers who tell the stories of ancient and modern martyrs, and I have heard a lot, but I really feel that I have knowledge at home." ”

The two brothers said as they sat next to their grandfather, and Daddy Lin had been moisturized recently, and his face was fat a few times. Although he is old and confused, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, his grandson still recognizes him. At that moment, when the old man saw the two grandsons sitting over, he immediately panicked, and Zhang Luo wanted to find a bowl to fill the rice for his grandson.

The food in front of him was rich enough in the eyes of the old man, and he ate comfortably, but he forgot about his two grandchildren.

In the eyes of the elderly, their sons are still like children, and they need to be taken care of by themselves, but they don't know that their own family is already old and unbearable, and they really need their children and grandchildren to take care of themselves in turn.

Boss Lin's eyes were red, and he looked at his brother in a similar situation, and finally held down his grandfather at the moment, indicating that his two brothers had eaten enough.

Seeing that Father Lin seemed to believe it or not, the two brothers put out more than a dozen pieces of money, Huang Cancan's copper coins were piled up on a table, and Boss Lin said about the salary, and finally said to his grandfather: "Azu, don't worry, it was originally said that our Lin family is going to be the last, and the poverty has become what it was before, who married his daughter to our family?" Now, within a year, the second brother will be able to marry, and in two years, I will also marry a daughter-in-law, and I will come to serve your old man together. ”

"Serve me, there's no need." Father Lin was happy to fall from the sky for a while, and he was much more sober, so he shook his head resolutely and said, "The boss, you marry first, and then the second one marries." Your brother don't spend money indiscriminately, save the money to repair the old house, and hurry up to marry Zhangluo. I think the son of the world is a good person, and the old man who raised me will give you this money, and in the future, when you marry a daughter-in-law, make up your mind, and you must serve the son of the world, and don't try to repay the favor! ”

Of course, the two brothers only said yes, and when they left, they deliberately left the usual money for the sister-in-law of the He family to keep, saying that when a merchant came over, they bought some snacks for their grandfather to enjoy, and if their grandfather refused, they said that they were rewarded by the son.

The sister-in-law of the He family took the money and said, "This is a small matter, if your brothers and sisters repair the house, they will come to your sister-in-law, and there will be relatives to say for you at that time." ”

The two brothers thanked each other, and they were happy and melancholy, wondering if their grandfather would really be able to survive until the day when the two brothers became their own sons?

"Second child," On the way back to the barracks, Boss Lin suddenly paused, looked into his brother's eyes, and said very seriously: "Azu told us to have a conscience, and you must remember it." ”

"I'll save it." Lin Lao Er said: "After all, you have to practice seriously, go into battle to fight, and fight hard." ”

"If it was before," Lin Lao Daodao: "I will definitely advise you to save your life first, and then talk about other things, but now I want to advise you, loyalty and courage are the first, meritorious service is the first, service is the first, and life preservation is second." If I die, you take care of the elderly, and if you die, there is me. We're all dead, and his old man won't suffer. After marrying a daughter-in-law and staying, there is nothing to say. If you are so gracious and don't want to repay the reward, what have you become as our brothers? ”

"That's it." Lin Lao Er nodded again and again.

In fact, the two brothers themselves didn't fully think that many of these words were heard when they listened to the words of the loyal martyrs and famous ministers at night, such as eating the people's food, you need to fight for the people, otherwise people work hard all year round, you are practicing in the camp, why did you come? It is nothing more than to protect the territory and the people, so that they will not be poked in the back. And so on, every night the preaching would say, and each battalion and each capital, and the outpost, all found a person who was articulate as a preacher, and after the training was not so hard, he preached for about half an hour every night.

This is another form of brainwashing, but it is quite effective, the soldiers should listen to the story, sit cross-legged on the ground with relish, listen, and only after listening to it, do they yawn and go to wash and sleep.

After a few months of hard work, not only some ideas were deeply rooted in the minds of the warriors, but even the way of thinking and conversation have changed a lot.

Xu Zixian has no way to teach the warriors to read and write for the time being, those young generals are the focus of his cultivation, reading and writing, reading military books, reading history books, these methods are to cultivate literate and honest generals.

The military general can write, and he knows the righteousness, this is not Xu Zixian's invention, but the words of Taizu of Great Wei.

In fact, the Great Wei Dynasty died not because of the incompetence of the military generals, but because the military generals who died were no less than the civil officials and scholars, but mainly because the central finances collapsed, and the military generals from all walks of life could not be replenished, and the soldiers were tired, and they were really powerless.

The war between the Great Wei and Donghu lasted for nearly fifty years, and the final collapse was first of all a financial collapse, which was completely different from the situation in the late Ming and Qing dynasties that Xu Zixian remembered.

Therefore, this set of Great Wei Taizu, Xu Zixian thinks it is very effective.

Every night, nearly 100 teenagers will gather together to read and read, sometimes Xu Zixian personally teaches, sometimes Qin Dongyang or Li Yi, Kong He and others take turns to teach.

All the teenagers have officially turned into Hou Fu Ya generals, and at the same time serve in the regimental training, from team officers to sentinels, and there are no teenagers who can lead a capital, after all, they are still too young, and before they have actual achievements, they are appointed as the head of the capital, and it is not so easy to convince the public. When the Lin brothers returned to the camp, the camp was not over, cheers came from time to time, the two brothers' money had no place to store, and they were even more worried about their grandfather, Lin Da originally wanted to lock it in the bedroom cabinet, but he was still a little uneasy, so he went to the town's money village to save money, many soldiers were similar to their thoughts, the town was full of queues in front of the Pu's bank, the soldiers carried the copper coins that sounded, and their faces were full of heartfelt smiles. The fake soldiers were not in a hurry to go back, and with a few money in their arms, and some in their waists, they began to wander around the town with their heads held high.

……

"It's really a sight."

The number of soldiers who came to deposit money gradually decreased, and the shopkeepers and men in the Pujia money village finally took a breath, and a shopkeeper walked to the door, glanced at the soldiers on the street with disgust, spat and walked back.

"Fuck." A big guy said: "They are happy, we eat and hang, and we can't help but do it for them when we save money, it's really bullying people to get home." ”

"Who said that the Pu family can't cure people now?"

"I heard that the Jingshi also called the people from the Hou Mansion to make trouble."

"I don't know what the big boss thinks, the Pu family really can't cure a prince of the Hou Mansion?"

Most of these people have followed the Pu family for many years, and their interests are related, so they naturally make a loyal appearance.

The reason for their real resentment is because after the group practice donation is set up here, the past Pu family caravan has to pay a lot of money to cross the border, this loss makes Pu Shouchen extremely angry, these two months have found a number of reasons to deduct the shopkeeper's wages to the guys, the Pu family is wealthy, and it is difficult for people who have done things in the Pu family to find things to do in other firms, as long as Pu Shouchen hands over a note, the general merchant house will not accept people who defect from the Pu family, so even if everyone is miserable, but no one dares to resign and leave.

The treatment is reduced, Pu Shouchen is in and out every day with a gloomy face, everyone has to be a little more careful, when the regimental training soldiers come to save money, it is strange that the people of the Pu family can be happy.

Pu Shouchen walked out from the back of the store with his hands behind his back, and everyone closed their mouths and lowered their heads, putting on a look of concentrating on work, for fear of encountering Pu Shouchen's anger.

Pu Shouchen didn't bother to pay attention to them, he glanced down the street from the door of the store, and in addition to seeing the warriors wandering along the street, he also saw Fengchang Li Yi of the Hou Mansion, wearing a civilian robe to check the houses along the street.

This confirmed the rumors that the Hou Mansion was also going to open a money village, and the income of the Hou Mansion was rising, Xu Zi first put the money donated by the regiment training in the military camp, but his spinning wheel and thousands of laborers were still making money, and the dock warehouse made by the Nan'an Chamber of Commerce also made a lot of money, and the Hou Mansion was not good at opening a large factory, but the merchants did not care, and the money was not only for the soldiers to save money, but to earn money from large merchants.

Foreign merchants brought gold and silver, and when they arrived in the territory of the Great Wei, they would exchange it for copper coins.

The profit of this business is not small, the Pu family not only has a money village in Nan'an, there are branches in Shuikou and other towns, and in Fuzhou it is a gold shop and a silver number money village, in addition to pawnshops and other businesses, that is, the profit of the exchange rate, in addition to the income of usury to the businessmen who have lost their capital, and the loss of maritime merchants, there are always sea ships, manors or other collateral, in exchange for money to buy goods, go to sea and fight again.

If the fight is successful, it is still the Pu family who makes money, and they lose money, anyway, they have collateral, and they are not afraid that these people will not be able to repay the account.

In this case alone, the Pu family earns a lot of money in a year.
