Chapter 104: Relatives!
A family gathering finally ended, Cai Changgeng was quite tired, but he shook his spirits and moved to another courtyard, in the small courtyard room, several men had been waiting for a long time.
Some of these men had a broken hand, some had a lame leg, and some had hideous scars on their faces, and all of them were injured.
When King Xiyang asked, they were also there, but it was only Cai Changgeng who dealt with it, and after King Xiyang left, Cai Changgeng went to deal with the group of so-called 'relatives', and several of them discussed things here.
Seeing Cai Changgeng coming in, a few people asked with concern: "What's the matter, have you been fooled?" ”
"Fooling? Don't fool around. Cai Changgeng said with a smile, sitting on the straw mat, his expression was obviously much more relaxed than just now, "The fields and dock forts that our brothers exchanged for their lives, no one should think about it!" ”
"Yes, yes! On weekdays, I call you as a slave, but now I think of you as a relative, and I want to take advantage of you when I say a few good words, how can there be such a good thing! ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, now this dock fort is under the jurisdiction of the official army, and there are beacons and post stations, I am the lord of the war, you are the commanders and generals, you must do official business, otherwise if you mess up, the officials will blame us, and we can't help it, right?"
"Haha, that's it!"
Seeing the nodding of his partners, Cai Changgeng said again: "Of course, things can't be done absolutely, the benefits always have to be given to some, after all, there is indeed a shortage of manpower, but don't worry, I will never change the things that have been set before." ”
Speaking of this, Cai Changgeng asked: "By the way, have you picked it up?" ”
A man with a severed hand replied, "Yes, they have all been received, thanks to the escort of the dart line, they have now passed through the city of light, and they will be there in a few days." ”
"It's good to come, a few dogs, in order to fight for the future, their families should come to Wubao to enjoy happiness, don't be the same as before, full of hunger, and being bullied..."
Such a topic made the atmosphere in the room heavy, Cai Changgeng and his partners set off from Shannan, and now there are half fewer people, and the partners who died in the battle have bereavement pensions issued by the government, and their families have indeed received them, but Cai Changgeng and a few other survivors have not forgotten their original oath.
That is, to share blessings and difficulties.
Cai Changgeng, as a concubine, has a very low status in the family, and this time the family responded to the call of the government and sent clan soldiers to help in the war, the original intention was to deal with things, and try their luck by the way, so Cai Changgeng had the opportunity to participate in the war.
The clan soldiers sent by the clan were weak and unbearable to fight, so Cai Changgeng gathered his fox friends who were good on weekdays to fight for the future with their lives, and got together before leaving and swore that they would share blessings and difficulties.
They fulfilled their oath of "sharing difficulties together" with practical actions, and fought together as pioneers, and now, it is the survivors who fulfill the vow of "sharing blessings and sharing".
Thanks to the position of the lord of the war, and thanks to the central contact of the lord of Rixingchang Feng Xuan, Cai Changgeng asked the military officials to write official documents and hired a dart team to pick up people, and went to bring the families of the fallen companions to the dock fort, and they took care of them, saving orphans and widows from being bullied.
A part of the land production should be given to these bereaved families to comfort the souls of the fallen partners, and at the same time, it is necessary to step up the resumption of production and complete this year's assessment.
Cai Changgeng and his partners, as the commanders, commanders, and generals, must ensure the normal operation of the garrisons, beacons, and post stations, and the passing post envoys and messengers must receive them well, and if there are soldiers and horses passing by, they must prepare food and drink and set up temporary camps.
This is official business, as well as agricultural affairs, there are many things, and there is no room for mistakes, so Cai Changgeng did not intimidate his uncles for no reason before, and the official army also sent a team of soldiers to station in Wubao to help Cai Changgeng deter Xiaoxiao.
There are some things that Cai Changgeng is inconvenient to come forward, so the officer army who serves as the deputy military officer is dealing with it, and the thing he has to pay attention to is to let Wubao return to "normal" as soon as possible, as a stronghold on the grain route of the army, and play its due role.
"We are not even afraid of death, are we afraid that we will not be able to manage these fields? Brothers, do you have faith? ”
"Yes!"
Everyone's hands clasped tightly together, as they did when they were about to go on a journey, and a determined smile appeared on each other's faces.
Compared with those so-called relatives, their brothers who were born and died together are the real relatives!
At the end of the party, the sun was waning, the sky was dark, Cai Changgeng walked to his room, followed by two men, wearing armor and pressing swords, looking around vigilantly.
These two are the "bodyguards" hired by Cai Changgeng from Huangzhou Dart Shop, and in addition to sleeping, they are always with him to ensure his safety.
Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, even in the dock fort, Cai Changgeng is not worried about those relatives, and his partners are also worried about his safety, originally to take turns to be on duty by Cai Changgeng's side, but there are too many things, so he hired "bodyguards".
When I came to a courtyard, there were also bodyguards standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, and when I saw my employer coming, I didn't greet him with a smile, but looked around vigilantly.
The bodyguard was so conscientious, Cai Changgeng was much more relieved, entered the courtyard, and came to the outside of the bedroom, but saw that the lights were already on in the room, and the figure of a woman was reflected on the window paper.
He coughed dryly, only to see the figure stand up and move towards the door, Cai Changgeng immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open, only to see a woman looking at him in surprise.
"Chunyan, it's me."
"Goro! Gorou..."The woman named Chunyan covered her mouth and cried with joy: "Gorou, is this true? ”
Cai Changgeng took Chunyan in his arms and said softly: "It's true, we will never be separated in the future!" ”
In the midst of crying, Cai Changgeng looked at the candlelight on the case, and the fact that he was appointed as the lord of Wubao by virtue of his military merits was transmitted back to the family, and the slave who married Chunyan immediately divorced his wife, and his second brother Cai Changyou personally sent Chunyan here.
His mother-in-law's treatment improved instantly, with more than a dozen slaves and maids waiting, no longer need to do rough work, no need to go to laundry on a cold day, and write a letter to the family, so that he can take care of his relatives.
Mother can't write, who wrote this letter at the behest of whom, Cai Changgeng can guess.
All this, not because of the so-called family affection, but because of interests, he can have today, in addition to making military achievements with his partners, he also has to rely on opportunity, and this opportunity was given by King Xiyang.
Subsequently, thanks to the loans and sales of various materials by Huangzhou businessmen, he and his partners initially gained a firm foothold.
Even Chunyan, who was snatched away, returned to him.
For him and his partners, who are the relatives, do you still need to ask?
。。。。。。
Jin Wuxiluo, a small village next to the dock fort, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, who hurriedly finished dinner, was meeting someone in a certain room, although the dock fort was next to him, but he did not stay in the fort, mainly to facilitate some things.
Meet with people who try to keep a low profile.
"Have you all found out?"
"Back to the king, it's all clear."
"Okay, good, it's time to do it, clean from beginning to end."
"Uh.... The King..."
"What, what are you hesitating about?"
"My lord, will this cause trouble?"
