Chapter XVII. Mao Wenlong's meaning
He had never been a soldier in his previous life, and he still had a fantasy about the army Mao Jue, but he never dreamed that he would be drunk on the first day of the army.
Mao Youde's Fen wine is really strong, a jar of old wine The four of them did a fine job, although they didn't talk about business, Mao Jue also heard that the classmates who did sales said that they should have a good relationship, and they couldn't be cowardly on the wine table.
My head hurt as if I had been in an Internet café for half a month, my throat was even more dry, and I didn't know how long I had been asleep, I got up by touching the bed, rubbing my head and sitting up, Mao Jue shouted in a depressed voice.
"Plain clothes! Plain clothes! Master, I'm thirsty! ”
"Senhe, water!"
Bang when a clay pot was placed on the table in front of the bed, the thirsty Mao Jue didn't care so much, picked it up and poured it, the water seemed to have a fishy smell of the sea, the taste was not good, around so, he still drank half a pot, wiped his mouth, he noticed that the person holding the water in front of him turned out to be a man, wearing a set of Ming Army bubble nail cotton armor, triangular swollen eye bubbles, thin face and two mustaches, looking a little slippery, some flattering bowing and laughing there.
"Who the fuck are you?"
Stunned, Mao Jue asked in astonishment, listening to this, this guy's smile became sweeter, and he bowed very respectfully.
"Mark the huge sea, and now the third general banner under the command of the 600th household of the 13,000th household in Zuoying, the lord of the thousand households."
"Oh, I know!"
As soon as he got up, his head was still a little groggy, Mao Jue couldn't help yawning loudly, got up and moved two steps, and suddenly he slapped his head again, turned around, grabbed the kid and asked in surprise.
"What did you just call Lao Tzu?"
"Senho-sama!"
This huge sea couldn't help but show a hint of surprise: "Yesterday, Mao Youde Mao was just appointed, and he was wronged, and now he is a patrol of thousands of households, so that the little ones can serve you!" ”
Mao Jue's eyes straightened a little.
When he came, he had already expected that it would be impossible for his governor's son to be a small soldier, and those daughters who started from small soldiers and worked hard-working to become generals were all in the story. But I never thought that there would be a thousand households coming up, and more than a thousand people were in charge of it.
That is the imperial court is choosing a military attache from the fifth grade, even if the military general is not as valuable as a civilian official, but it is not Mao Youde, a general from the third grade, who can accept his fate at will, otherwise, this Mao family army is not Mao Wenlong's, but he Mao Youde's, it seems that Mao Youde takes care of himself, behind this, there is no shadow of Mao Wenlong, he doesn't believe anything.
This is good, he originally killed someone and was sent to the barracks for exile, and in a blink of an eye, he became a big official, but what does Mao Wenlong mean?
Coldly, Mao Jue remembered again, yesterday Wen Bosai gave him an envelope, saying that it was given to him by Mao Wenlong, in the strange eyes of the huge sea, he hurriedly took out the crumpled letter from his sleeve, and after tearing it open, several sheets were covered with red seals, and there were red frames around him to meet his eyes.
Denglai Governor Dongjiang Town crosses the customs defense!
Hongtongtong's governor Dayin can't do a fake this year, he still has a headache before, how to get through the customs with Mao Wenlong for money, but he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to take the initiative to give, and there are two questions in front of Mao Jue, what is he going to do? And how did he know!
"By the way, you just said that our Thousand Households is a Thousand Households Patrolling the Sea!"
"That's right, sir! We have nine hundred households under the jurisdiction of thousands of households, three 400 warships, nine Cangshan boats, and more than 20 sentinel boats. ”
It's full of flattery, this general flag has introduced his thousand households, Mao Jue, who listened to it, seemed to have caught something, rubbed his eyes and sat back on the edge of the bed, in a daze, Mao Jue suddenly asked with some stumbling.
"That, if Lao Tzu wants to get out of the camp, how do you get out!"
It was only the second day after entering the camp, and I wanted to get out, which was indeed a little difficult to speak, but this huge sea looked like a matter of course, nodding and smiling.
"It is naturally difficult for others to go out of the camp, but if you want to go out of the camp, you can just say hello to Lord Mao Kexi, the general who is in charge of the camp gate!"
"My lord wants to go to Cuiyun Building, and there are gifts here......"
"Keep it for yourself!"
I didn't have the heart to stay here, as soon as I stretched out my hand to put on the cotton armor of the thousand households assigned to me hanging on the wall, wearing a helmet, and turning my head, Mao Jue turned around and went out with a dog-like majesty, watching him leave, the eyes of this huge sea showed a sense of astonishment, but it immediately turned into surprise and disdain.
"Hmph, what else should Lao Tzu be, he just ran out to fool around without even burning three fires a day, and he was still a straw bale!"
…………
"Young Master, why are you back?"
Yesterday I was still living and parting, and today I was still sitting in a small building in a daze, and in the afternoon, I saw Mao Jue staggering back, and the surprise of Suyi was really self-evident.
"What's going on in this house?"
Others are doing a big funeral, but Shen Qian, a subordinate, can hang two white lanterns for him, which can be regarded as giving him face, but when he came in today, the house was still busy, and the servants were all carrying this and that, and when he saw Mao Jue coming back, he hid aside in awe, and shook back to his small building, Mao Jue asked suspiciously.
But without waiting for Su Yi to answer, he waved his hand indifferently: "Forget it, whatever, clean up, accompany the young master and me out, and then bring He Laosi to Lao Tzu." ”
"Yes, young master!"
This girl immediately said a blessing with joy.
Whoever has the most sense of smell these days is not a cat, but a businessman! Mao Jue on the front foot was assigned to the barracks, and the money on the back foot was known, or the wine pipe, as soon as they met, this guy had already greeted him with a heartache.
"Hey, these days, the etiquette is broken, and the following is on it! Qian Mou heard that for the sake of a rebellious and domineering subordinate, Lord Du Du actually sent Brother Mao to those places where brave warriors and military villains were treated, it was really too wronged Brother Mao! ”
I don't know, I thought this guy was distributed, and I was pulled to the seat by the crying and sad face, and when I lifted the wine glass, the money was still chattering there.
"This kind of Diao slave, in our Jiangnan, directly has to order someone to dig a pit in the garden and bury it, the government will not ask at all, and even ask the county lord to issue a commendation to eliminate harm for the people! This Mao Dudu, it's really too much of a fuss, come, come, Qian Mou toasts Brother Mao with a cup to show his indignation! Dry! ”
Although he is not a soldier, but in later generations, being a soldier is a noble profession, without those soldiers starving, swallowing snow in the wind, where is there such a peaceful and stable society, even now, without them These soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the north and Jiannu, they can still spend so much time in the south of the Yangtze River, merry and happy, they are rice worms in the society, and they also point fingers at others.
But he still has to rely on this guy, Mao Jue didn't say much, but his face was impatient, he also raised his wine glass, and drank it all, this kind of soju was drunk again, he grinned, turned his head and took a sip, thinking to himself.
I'll have to find a way to get some beer, and if I drink this thing any more, I'll have to drink myself to death sooner or later!
But these days, eating white flour steamed buns can be regarded as showing off your wealth, where can you get so much wheat for winemaking?
"Don't talk nonsense, Mao has indeed been unlucky in the past few days, but it is not without benefits, now Mao is in the West Daying as 13,000 households and 1,000 households, and the southeast to the sea is under Mao's inspection, and the customs you want to prevent Mao have also been done."
The stack of customs guards was thrown in front of Qian Zeng, but he was not busy picking it up, but looked at Mao Jue with some **, he only then noticed that Mao Jue's clothes and armor were different, and he was speechless for a while, although the soldiers were quite discriminated against in this society, but Mao Jue was promoted, and the power he held was not small, which involved the struggle for the rights of the Mao family, and he was not an outsider more than beak.
After hesitating for a moment, the goods were filled with two glasses of wine and served, and raised a glass to Mao Jue.
"I'm still wronged Brother Mao!"
Lao Tzu became an officer, wronged fart?
I really couldn't understand the discrimination of these literati against soldiers, Mao Jue couldn't help but laugh and took his glass of wine again, and immediately took out the little things he had sorted out in the carriage.
"Although things are a little sad this time, but it is good for our brothers, this time Mao has prepared a list, and I hope that Brother Qian will return to Jiangnan, and when he comes to this Phi Island again, he will purchase it on his behalf, I don't know if it is possible?"
A dense list written with a fine brush was received by Qian Zeng, the first glance made him stunned, these years are popular are all traditional characters, Mao Jue's hand of simplified Chinese characters makes him feel a little weird, however, these words, he basically reads and understands, after all, it is established on the basis of the original font simplification.
And the content of this list is really surprising to Qian Zeng, to be honest, he just regarded Mao Jue as a dirt bun before, a rich man in the countryside of Liaodong, a frog at the bottom of the well with little knowledge, but many of the things on this list he has only heard, and Mao Jue actually knows all of them.
For the first time, he consulted with Mao Jue as an equal partner.
"Brother Mao, this silk tea is a common item, and porcelain and the like are also common, but Brother Mao, what do you want this maize and sweet potatoes to do? These things don't sell for a lot of money in the north, especially on that side, I don't like these rare things! There is also tobacco, which is unique to the south, and the north does not live, what does Brother Mao want his seeds and cultivators to do? ”
"All of these?"
Ignoring Qian Zeng's questioning, Mao Jue asked in surprise.
