Text Chapter 16 Gambling and training honor guards
The head of the family will not be in command of the army when he returns to the field, although he is idle at home, the title of the first-class marquis is still there, and his status is still not to be underestimated.
Since the day after the end of the family meeting, Wu Siyuan, the head of the family, often drank tea and chatted with the head of Gaozhou Road, drinking tea and chatting, visiting each other, and playing.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a good relationship between the two old men, which also proves that the status of the Wu family has never changed.
Within a few days, Dong Ba, the head of the Dong family, also returned to the field, so the two old men became three old men, and the three of them became tigers, going to casinos, restaurants, visiting brothels, and occasionally wearing tattered civilian clothes, mixing in the market together, playing tricks more than young people.
Buy things to negotiate the price, encounter injustices will also take care of a tube, such as encountering ruffians, snakes and the like to find trouble, without saying a word, directly start fighting, no matter how good you can fight, and finally report to the official to fight a lawsuit, but also have fun.
However, Wu Qi completely forgot what he had said before that he would write a military book, and took Dong Qiang, as well as the young master of the Yi nationality, the young master of the Miao nationality and other good buddies of ethnic minorities every day, to slash and anger together, swagger through the market, and tease the people's daughters.
The young master of the Mongolian nobles led by Meng Qu, the young master of the nobles of the Semu people, and a few young masters of the Han'er family are also mixed together.
As long as the two sides meet, there will be a war of words, as long as the other party looks at something, whether it is a person or a thing, etc., it will be put in a hand to rectify.
The competition for wealth stimulated the economy of some markets to a certain extent, and of course the bulk of the profits were the trading of the Mongols and the Semu people.
The competition is very fierce, sometimes in order to compete for a piece of clothing, they will be red-faced, Wu Qi's side is wealthy, and naturally the competition ends with victory. Whether you are young and vigorous, or you don't understand human feelings, the two sides are more energetic.
Someone on the Mengqu side proposed that everyone pay for the dyeing workshop and related industries, and the fabrics, clothes, and other finished products made in the future will not be sold to the other party and the other party's family.
Meng Qu doesn't care, just have fun, he doesn't care about money, just to disgust and disgust Wu Qi and them bastards.
The leakage of this news was soon learned by the aristocratic circles of the whole city, and they all thought that it was just a child's nonsense, and the matter between the juniors, as an elder, was ignored at all, and they loved to make trouble.
It has been a month and a half since the Wu family conference, and it has been two days since Wu Qi and the others knew that Meng Qu had opened a workshop, and the sun was shining early in the morning, and the five brothers came to the Wu family.
Dong Qiangwei first went to meet the head of the Wu family, and then went directly to Wu Qi's yard, and pulled out of the quilt for Wu Qi in a hurry, suggesting that everyone also set up a workshop, and strive to make Meng Qu lose money.
Soon, the six brothers were sitting around the stone table in the courtyard, and the young master of the Yi nationality was a little restrained and a little embarrassed, and he took the lead in speaking: "Boss, can we make money by opening a workshop?" ”
Wu Qi knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, the living conditions of the brother tribe were poor, he was clear, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you lose money or not, as long as the brothers are happy, my brother knows that you and Brother Miao are not in good condition, so you don't need to pay for this money, you can help and cheer." ”
"That's it." , Dong Qiang also smiled and said, I initiated this matter today, and you are also hard-pulled by me, this money is my share, in the future, the profit of the workshop will be shared equally between our brothers, and the loss will be ours, just a small amount of money, don't mind, hahaha. ”
Everyone, you and I are talking one by one.
From ancient times to the present, there is no one who attaches the most importance to feelings to ethnic minorities, they know who is good and who is not, as long as they are recognized by them, even if they stick a knife in their ribs.
The heart of loyalty is not inferior to the Taoyuan three knots.
In a word; As long as you are a human being, you will be respected by them!
Contrarily; I understand it.
Concentrate! "For the sake of convenience, ethnic minorities are named after their ethnic names, because I don't understand, forgive me!. In this book, as long as there are names, they are all important characters throughout the plot. 》
The young master of the Miao nationality is called: Miao Qing
The young master of the Yi nationality is called: Yi Xin
Young Master of the Li Family of Han'er: Li Ju
Young Master of the Han'er Wang Family: Wang Tian
plus Wu Qi and Dong Qiang, just six brothers.
Li Ju and Wang Tian are proportionate, the former is very tall, the latter is very short, and both are thin.
Wu Qi's figure is all called.
Dong Qiang is obese.
Miao Qing and Yi Xin are in strong shape.
Suddenly, Wu Qi was three feet tall and shouted: "Brother, I have a way to make money, young master, I am so talented!." ”
The boss was shocked, and the brothers were shocked, but when they heard that they could make money, their eyes lit up, after all, no one would dislike having more money.
Dong Qiang asked: "What can the boss say?" ”
Miao Qing and Yi Xian glanced at each other, a little disbelieving that they could make money, it was true that they could spend money, Miao Qing said bluntly: "Can you really make money?" Don't lie to anyone, boss. ”
Li Ju and Wang Tian have a big business, although they can't compare to the Wu family and the Dong family, it doesn't matter if they lose a little money, they say in unison: "We will always support the boss." ”
Wu Qi thought of the honor guard of later generations, and in his impression, the honor guard of this era was only used by nobles to participate in large-scale activities, but this was private.
The governor's office also has a guard of honor, which is used to hold activities such as sacrificing the sky.
Wu Qi told them the idea of making new clothes, that is, military uniforms for the honor guard, and they must be pure foot soldiers.
In their spare time, they are honor guards, honor guards that can participate in any activities, and they can go to the battlefield in wartime, and they are new types of troops.
Wu Qi was selfish, thinking of using the training methods of later generations to train the best honor guard with his meager and superficial knowledge.
On the day when the king ascended the throne, he used this guard of honor to set up a formation for him, and Wu Qi felt excited when he thought about it, and there was an absolute reason to order the whole army to practice like this.
If he really succeeds, he is worthy of the boast he once bragged about, and the matter of writing a military book will also become a highlight of the emperor's road, who will dare to look down on him at that time? .
Dong Qiang knew what it meant, he didn't dare to break it, and he didn't break it when the time came, he just nodded and agreed to pay for it, just training a new honor guard, which is equivalent to training soldiers, and the military must be trained with the consent of the governor's office, and whether it is trained or not, the military power must be transferred to the governor's office in the end.
The other four brothers didn't know what to say, they were speechless about the whimsical boss, it didn't matter if they spent money to open a workshop, how much did it cost to train the army? Do you pay for it yourself?.
It's not your own money, is it the governor's office? Besides, will the Governor's Office pay for it? To make new clothes and military uniforms, it is said to be lightweight, but the question is whether it is practical? Even if it is practical, will the imperial court admit it?.
Even if the court recognizes and approves it, the workshop will be nationalized by the court, and the black spot compensation is good, even if you can make money, you have to make wedding dresses for others.
Miao Qing and Yi Xin were very reluctant to do this, although they didn't let themselves spend money, but they couldn't see the court as good in their hearts, of course, this was from their hearts, and they couldn't say it on the surface.
Li Ju and Wang Tian just twitched the corners of their mouths, and they were ready to spend a lot of money.
Wu Qijian except for Dong Qiang agreed with him, the expressions of the others were strange, and they didn't speak, so they knew what they thought.
"Don't worry, making money is secondary, and sooner or later the good things will be our brother's, so my brother plans to take a big gamble with Meng Qu and them, how about it?."
"Why bet? How to bet? What to bet on?. ”
Everyone looked at Wu Qi suspiciously.
"You'll find out right away." , Wu Qi deliberately sold a pass, called a guard, and ordered: "You go and inform that kid Meng Qu, tell him that we are waiting for them at the gate of the governor's mansion, and admit that he is a man with a handle, then just let the horse come, this young master will take a big gamble with them, if you don't dare to come, forget it."
Ben Shao and a few brothers also opened workshops, and also made new clothes and military uniforms, and trained the honor guard of our first ox, with a strength of five hundred and five people.
From the construction of the workshop to the training of the honor guard, from the beginning to the end, the accounts of the expenses are open and transparent, and after two months, the comparison of who is stronger and who is weaker is made public.
The loser compensates the winner twice the cost, and the loser also gives his workshop to the winner free of charge.
In addition, the honor guard must be a soldier in leisure time, and a soldier in wartime! ”
The guards took orders and left.
The boss is crazy, absolutely crazy, everyone is happy if he wins, and it will be serious if he loses.
In particular, the accounts of the expenses used are open, and the amount of money spent is not arbitrary, in case they are sure of winning, the result is to spend money hard, spend money and spend money, astronomical amounts.
A loser can't be such a loser, Dong Qiang was silent, but he was smiling in his heart, he knew too well what to do in two months, five hundred and five soldiers, no matter how garbage they were, they were also a powerful force in Gaozhou City.
Wu Qili disagreed, and then it was almost noon after the six brothers had eaten, and the guards who delivered the message also returned, Meng Qu agreed to compare, and brought back a sentence: "Wait and see!." ”
"It's not a small tone." Wu Qi, who picked his teeth, got up, waved to the brothers and walked out of the door first: "Brothers, let's go to the governor's mansion." ”
At this time, the heads of the Wu and Dong families must be in the governor's mansion, and only at this time can they have the opportunity to meet the governor Meng Maggot.
After noon, the three old men should go out again, and they will not go home until midnight.
The six brothers of Wu Qi and ten people arrived at the door of the governor's mansion almost at the same time, and after they met, they just stared at each other with their eyes, but they didn't speak.
Wu Qi pointed to the two Mongolian soldiers guarding the door: "You two get over here for Young Master Ben!." ”
The soldiers guarding the gate all knew these young masters, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they could only nod and come over: "Young master, what do you command?" Meng Qu didn't bother to speak, and he didn't want to deal with the lowly soldiers.
Wu Qi told the two sides about the big gamble, and the soldiers were stunned, and hurriedly entered the governor's mansion to report.
