"You man, in fact, your greatest good and your greatest disadvantage are the same thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Han Wantao still said calmly with an expressionless face, "You are very honest with all people, at best, it is called no scheming, and if it is not good, it is called no heart." Therefore, it is very easy for you to make true friends, and it is also very easy to be sold, and you will help you to make money when you are sold. ”

"Haha, I'm stupid like that?" Xu Lang clung to the reins, for fear that he would fall off his horse because of laughter, "Don't talk like a fool to me, I'm not stupid to that point." ”

"Huh." Han Wantao also smiled, and after half laughing, he suddenly regained his composure, "Xu Lang, you don't know about my last life, I have been very depressed in my last life. ”

"Really?" Xu Lang didn't ask again, but said silently in his heart, "Are you more depressed than me?" ”

"I grew up in the countryside." Han Wantao didn't know why, and actually opened the conversation box to Xu Lang, "Our generation has caught up with that family planning, so the first child in our family is me, so I didn't want it again, and I have no brothers and sisters since I was a child." My parents are honest farmers, and they can only make ends meet with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky all their lives. I didn't go to college after graduating from high school because my family couldn't afford the tuition, and then I went to join the military. In the army, there is nothing to do with it, and I don't know anyone, so I can only rely on myself to work hard little by little. In the recruit company, I was the first to get up every day to clean up, and in the winter, my hands were frozen and cracked, and I could only endure it by myself, and I was wronged, so I could only carry it silently, just to leave a good impression on the chief. I finally waited for three years of compulsory service to become a volunteer, and I thought, this is good, I have an iron rice bowl, and I have a salary, so I can honor my parents. The volunteers have been working for a few years, and it's time to say that the daughter-in-law is married, our family is poor, and there is no money to talk about the daughter-in-law, and the father and mother are all together, plus my savings in the army, and the loans of my comrades-in-arms, I finally got enough money for the bride price, and then I talked about a daughter-in-law. ”

"Do you have feelings for a daughter-in-law like you?" Xu Lang interjected and asked.

"Feelings?" The corners of Han Wantao's mouth twitched slightly, "Don't think that the husbands and wives in the world are like you and Cheng Yiyi, they all belong to Romeo and Juliet, we just have children and live a life." My daughter-in-law and I met a total of 3 times before we got married, and where did we get any feelings. ”

Xu Lang shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

"However, after finding a daughter-in-law and becoming a family, I finally have an explanation for my parents and myself." Han Wantao continued to say to himself, "But then there is a problem, if you get married, you have to have children, but I am in the army, my daughter-in-law is in my hometown, we get together less and leave more, we can't see each other for a few days every year, where are the children." It dragged on until I was discharged from the army. But after I was discharged from the army, I found that there was no place to settle at all, I entered the army after coming out of the school gate, one has no skills, and the other has no way, where to find a job. There was no choice but to take 200,000 or so to choose demobilization. ”

"And what did you do after you were demobilized?" Xu Lang asked.

"It's useless to have money alone, there will always be a day when you sit and eat nothing." Han Wantao replied, "I have done a lot of work, I have worked as a security guard in our county, delivered couriers, and also went to the provincial capital and the south to work, but I didn't work for long, and finally decided to go back to my hometown to do some small business." Xu Lang, do you know why I got on the Pearl alone to participate in this tour? ”

"I don't know, why?"

"Because I was cheated out of my business, I was completely bankrupt." Han Wantao seems reluctant to mention the past in his previous life, "More than 200,000 yuan of military pay, paying off the debts of marriage, and hundreds of thousands, as a result, I lost a lot of money." My daughter-in-law is also clamoring for a divorce from me. I was bored, so I got on the Pearl by myself, wanting to come out and relax. But I can't blame her for this, she has followed me all these years, and she has not enjoyed any blessings, and she has suffered sin. But I didn't expect that this trip was so good, and I went straight back to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Huh." Xu Lang smiled, "I'm not the same, who would have thought of this." ”

"From the day I went bankrupt, I felt deeply that God was really unfair to me." Han Wantao continued, "I have been honest since I was a child, and I have always wanted to live a peaceful life, I have never bullied anyone, let alone deceived anyone, but why does God even take away my last bit of hope." Since then, I have thought that there is no fairness in this society at all, and the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality are all deceptive tricks. If you want to get ahead, you have to be ruthless than others, and only by being ruthless can you not be bullied, which is why I was able to order the army to shoot and quell the rebellion regardless of the safety of the hostages. ”

"Then why are you suddenly all changed again?" Xu Lang said this, and suddenly the fatherly action of Han Wantao wiping the mouth of the Li child appeared in his mind, "Could it be Tan Jing, 。。。。。。 she?" ”

"Hehe, there's nothing to be embarrassed to ask." Han Wantao finally smiled, "That's right, Tan Jing has it, Dr. Ouyang has checked it, it's been 2 months." ”

"Okay, Wan Tao." Although he was riding on a horse, Xu Lang still slapped Han Wantao hard, "You can broadcast fast enough." ”

"Huh." Han Wantao said with a smile, "When I first learned the news, I was going crazy, of course I was going crazy with joy. Every night, I would lie on Tan Jing's stomach and listen quietly, and I could feel that little life was growing in it. Xu Lang, I have lived for more than 30 years in 2 lifetimes, and now I know where the value of my life is. At the beginning, you wanted to incite the BA class for Lin Chao's matter, and I secretly scolded you in private, but now I know that there is nothing that cannot be done for the sake of children. I will never let my child's future be the same as my previous life, for him, for all our children in the future, for all the children in the world, we must work hard. ”

"A mother's love is like water, and a father's love is like a mountain." Xu Lang nodded slightly, "Wan Tao, I don't think you should be your brigade commander anymore, go directly to the sermon, your love is boundless." ”

"Haha, sermon? That's what you literati do, I can't do it. Let's go, Zhou Chongde is still waiting for us. Han Wantao threw Xu Lang far away from his horse again, "Soldiers, cheer up and walk out of the military prestige of our Yulin Army." ”

"Brethren, I will raise my head and sing our military song." Deng Zhongguo hurriedly hurried to show in front of Han Wantao, "'Sword Dance is long in the north and the wind is cold', prepare, sing!" ”

The loud military song once again resounded in the sky, reflecting the sound of neat footsteps. More than 100 infantry and cavalry walked more and more energetically, and the pace continued to increase. A dozen or so prisoners of war tied up in a line trotted all the way to barely keep up with the pace of the Yulin army's march, and only the little prisoner of war enjoyed special treatment. Deng Zhongguo still didn't understand why Brigade Commander Han cared so much about such a small prisoner of war, but he still secretly instructed his subordinates, temporarily made a stretcher, and carried the little prisoner back in a daze. Han Wantao didn't say anything about it, but secretly gave Deng Zhongguo a smile.

When Han Wantao and the others returned to the camp, it was just afternoon. Zhou Chongde was already waiting for them at the gate of the Yulin Bay militia.

"Brother Han, Brother Xu." Zhou Chongde's big voice shouted again, "The two brothers have worked hard, and I have been waiting for a long time, old brother." ”

Han Wantao and Xu Lang jumped off the horse and thanked them: "With Lord Lao Zhou, thanks to the blessing of Lord Laozhou, fortunately we have not dishonored our mission, and we will win this first battle in Yazhou." ”

"Someone." Zhou Chongde shouted, and someone next to him brought over three bowls of wine.

Zhou Chongde picked up a bowl: "Dry this bowl of victory wine first, and then let's go back to my military tent and drink it again." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhou." Han Wantao and Xu Lang knew that they had to perform when it was time to perform, and the two of them also served the wine bowl, and the three of them drank the bowl of wine together.

The banquet in Zhou Chongde's big tent had already been placed, and Zhou Chongde and several hundred households accompanied Han Wantao and Xu Lang to drink.

"Come on, come on, I'll toast you two more." A half-drunk Baihu raised his wine glass and said to Han Wantao and the others.

"Thank you Zhou Baihu, drink together." Han Wantao recognized this hundred households, it was a distant relative of Zhou Chongde, and the last time Zhou Chongde was attacked by a leopard in the clouds was on the way to his house to drink wine.

"Lord Zhou." Xu Lang put down his wine glass and said to Zhou Chongde, "Lord Zhou, don't put your mind on those heads, how many benefits can a few heads have?" At most, it is a few words of praise that are not painful, and we must have tangible benefits this time. Think about it, do we want those few words of praise to be cost-effective or a real cost-effective of dozens or hundreds of acres of land. I have just made the meaning of our Yulin Bay clear to you, because of Lord Wang Kezong in Yazhou, there are some things we can't do too much. But in Wanzhou, it's different, in the future, I can open a factory in Wanzhou in Yulin Bay, and Li Shuang, the inspection department, has long been staring at Wanzhou, a piece of fat, so you don't want to get some benefits on top of the business workshop? Besides, if we can relieve the siege of Wanzhou without one person being injured, it will be considered a miracle, and it is better not to kill than to kill. ”

Just now, Han Wantao reported the results of this battle to Zhou Chongde. For the dozen or so prisoners of war, Zhou Chongde never thought that he could come over, but for the 27 rebellious Li people who were killed, they didn't cut off their heads, but returned the bodies intact to the Li people, Zhou Chongde slightly expressed his dissatisfaction, it was all military merit.

Han Wantao and Xu Lang were toasted several glasses of wine by hundreds of households one after another from the beginning of the banquet, and they were already half drunk. Listening to Zhou Chongde's complaint, Xu Lang suddenly had an idea in his heart. With the strength of the wine, Xu Lang didn't even discuss with Han Wantao, so he directly patted his chest and made a guarantee, in the future, if he wins Wanzhou, Yulin Bay can partner with everyone here to do business, and everyone can make money together.

"Xu Gongzi." Zhou Baihu stared at the hazy drunken eyes, and said vaguely, "We are all big and coarse, and we don't know a single big word, how can we have any business brains, or can get some land and military merit, which is our duty." ”

"Zhou Baihu." Xu Lang was also drunk and hazy, "That's not right." This business has little to do with whether you can read or write. Let's just talk about me, to say a boastful word, I know a lot of words, but if you want me to do business, that's how much you lose. Not to mention that you are all hundreds of households, have you heard that there is a sister-in-law Wu in Yulin Bay? A woman's family, still a widow, also can't read a single big word, but if you look at the people now, the silver is earned. How did she get her money? Not done in business? ”

"I'm talking about Xu Gongzi." Another hundred households suddenly asked, "Is it true that Sister-in-law Wu of yours is there?" It has spread in Yazhou City, saying that she has tens of thousands of silver a year, and there is no place to put it at home, and she also bought a yard to put silver. ”

"Tens of thousands?" Xu Lang was so happy that he almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine, "Who passed this on." There are not tens of thousands, but there are thousands of taels. She didn't buy a house to put money, it was to live. Buy a house and put money in it, this can also come up with it? ”

The orders of the army in Yulin Bay and Liu Jun's orders for cotton cloth in Guangzhou were constantly increasing, and Liu Jun opened up channels for purchasing cotton in Guangzhou, and shipwowed cotton back to Yulin Bay, and then brought boatloads of cotton back to Guangzhou and Qiongzhou. For most of last year, Wu's factory has doubled in size compared to the original plan. The whole of Yazhou, and even Qiongzhou, have spread, and there is a strong woman in the business world of the Ming Dynasty in Yulin Bay.

"Really thousands? Just the woman who was bought back by your brother Xu for a few taels of silver, and now she can earn a few thousand taels a year? Zhou Chongde was a little unconvinced. Sister-in-law Wu knew that Zhou Chongde had gone to see the dozen or so prisoners before Xu Lang went to Yazhou for the first time, but he didn't see any of them.

"Lord Zhou." Xu Lang's strength came up, and he didn't have so many scruples when he spoke, "If Lord Zhou doesn't believe it, you can go and see it yourself, I, Xu someone, will never lie to people." That's why I said, Lord Zhou, everyone, let's take a long-term view, and the big heads are behind. ”
