Chapter 264: The National Public Order: Don't Pull Your Ears!
Zhao Laogen is a real person, and he speaks straightforwardly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he said: "Zhen Guogong, in fact, the last general has also heard some gossip. The steppe is full of mare's milk wine, beef and mutton, and Mongolian women who can sing and dance! The grassland people have been subdued by the Zhenguo Gong, and they will respect our Flying Tiger Army everywhere, and the garrison of Wolf Mountain is in the honeypot! I think they're all farting! Although I have never read a book, I remember that my father once said to me, that dogs can't change to eat, and wolves can't change to eat meat! Although those grassland aliens are now subduing us, I am afraid that they will become strong in the future and make trouble again! β
Chen Di praised: "Zhao Laogen, you can think of this, it shows that you have really grown!" Worthy of your rank of colonel! β
Zhao Laogen said: "Ahem, the last general was just a miner in Yiwu at the beginning. He followed the Metropolitan Governor to fight the Japanese and Tatars, and finally became a colonel military attache in the southern and northern wars. This is something that the last general never dared to think of at the beginning! The last man sleeps and dreams. As soon as I dreamed, I dreamed of those old brothers when Yiwu was building the armyγγγγγγ Of the thousands of old brothers at that time, there are less than 100 left today! Why are there only a hundred left? Isn't it because the emperor transferred you to Beijing and sent Zhu Houjun's straw bag as the commander of the Flying Tiger Army? He commanded indiscriminately, so that the Flying Tiger Army was defeated outside Taizhou City! Now that the last general has a thousand brothers, the last general will definitely not be a straw bag like Zhu Houjun! β
Speaking of the Flying Tiger veterans who died in Taizhou that year, Chen Di was a little sad. He stood up and patted Zhao Laogen on the shoulder: "You can remember those brothers who lived and died together back then, it's rare, it's rare!" β
Chen Di finished talking with the three and ordered them to go down. Zhao Laogen seemed to have something, and he hesitated and did not retreat.
Chen Di asked, "Colonel, what else is going on?" β
Zhao Laogen said: "Cough, Zhen Guogong, don't be afraid of your jokes, my family is a country mother-in-law." I have made meritorious contributions, divided a lot of rewards, and this year I have had another bumper harvest. My mother-in-law chose the best wheat and fried a basket of fish with the most fragrant oil. She asked me to give the noodle fish to you, Zhenguogong! I said that the countryside eats, how can the town and the prince like it? And guess what, she tugged at my ear and said, "If you don't give the noodle fish to Zhen Guogong, you will let me not go homeγγγγγ β
Chen Di laughed: "Your mother-in-law is really simple!" Who says I don't like fried noodle fish? I'm really good for this bite! β
Zhao Laogen smiled: "How do you say this, Zhenguo Gong loves to eat food in the countryside?" The noodle fish is placed at the gate of the palace, so I'll go get it. β
When the tea was held, Zhao Laogen entered the duty room with a basket of noodle fish, Chen Di picked up a piece and took a bite: "It's so fragrant!" β
Chen Di asked Zhao Laogen: "What is your mother-in-law's name?" β
Zhao Laogen said: "It's called Cuigu!" β
Chen Di picked up a piece of paper, wrote a few words and handed it to Zhao Laogen.
Zhao Laogen picked up the piece of paper, looked at it, and said embarrassedly: "Zhen Guogong, I still have some words for thisγγγγγ β
Chen Di smiled: "This paper reads: Aunt Cui, I have already eaten the noodle fish!" Zhao Laogen is now the colonel of the Flying Tiger Army, and he is a person with status, don't keep plucking his ears! The following is the inscription: Daming Town Guogong, Chen Diγγγγγγ β
γγγγγγ
Zhao Laogen took Chen Di's note and went home happily. He will leave for his post in two days, and he will have to explain his family affairs well.
Zhao Laogen has won medals several times and thousands of acres of land, and he can already be regarded as a big landowner. But Cuigu, the landlord's wife, still insisted on not hiring people, and went to the fields to farm herself.
Cuigu brought a bowl of tea to Zhao Laogen: "The master, have you seen the prince of Zhenguo?" β
Zhao Laogen said: "See! β
Cui Gu said: "Where is my basket of fish? Is Zhen Guogong eating? β
Zhao Laogen said: "After eating, Zhen Guogong also praised the fragrance of the noodles and fish you made!" β
Cui Gu was a little unconvinced: "Don't you secretly distribute the noodles and fish to your brothers, and come back to deceive me." β
Zhao Laogen triumphantly slapped Chen Di's strip on the table: "When will we see you!" See! This is a note that Zhen Guogong wrote to you! β
Cui Gu picked up the strip. She knew a few words at home since she was a child, and after reading it, she said in surprise: "Zhen Guogong asked me not to pinch your ears in the future?" β
Zhao Laogen said seriously: "That's nature! How can I say that I also wear the first-class Sun and Moon Medal on my uniform. Those first-class civil officials have to salute when they see me! What kind of system do you keep pulling my ears into? β
Cui Gu said: "Cheng Chengcheng, since it was said by the Duke of Zhenguo, I won't pinch your ears in the future!" β
Zhao Laogen took a sip of tea: "I'm going to leave for the grassland in the next step." There are some things I want to tell you. The imperial court rewarded our family with thousands of acres of good land, and we can't burn buns! The grain and taxes that should be paid to the court every quarter should not be less! You have to think like this, pay an extra cent of taxes to the court, and I will have more paper shells when I fight with my brothers! Also, although we are now considered landlords, we can't be rich and unkind! If the tenants who rent our land are in difficulty, they can collect less if they can collect less! We can't finish the food we have laid. When we meet those poor villagers, we can do good! β
Cui Gu said: "I have to be in charge, I know these things without you telling me!" β
Zhao Laogen said to Cuigu again: "After I leave, you have to take care of your body." β
When Cui Gu thought that Zhao Laogen was going to the grassland thousands of miles away, she couldn't help but wipe her tears: "If you are in charge, you also have to take care of yourself." When you encounter a war, you have to be vigilant, don't be like last time, come back from the grassland and hang half of your arms, almost scared to death! β
Zhao Laogen waved his hand: "When you start a war, you don't have long eyes!" How can you take care of so much! I am a veteran of the Flying Tiger Army when Yiwu was founded, and I can't embarrass the Flying Tiger Army! Besides, I'm a colonel now, and I'm in charge of more than a thousand brothers, and when I start a war, I must be in front and set an example to the brothers! If I, an official, are afraid of death, who of my brothers will be willing to die?! β
Chen Di gave a large amount of land to meritorious soldiers in order to cultivate new aristocratic forces. But Zhao Laogen's style can't be "expensive" no matter how you look at it.
In fact, Zhao Laogen is a real nobleman!
A true aristocrat does not have to wear fancy clothes all day long, followed by a group of servants behind his buttocks, playing all day long, going to banquets, and drinking. Those people are not aristocrats, but moths lying on the merits of the ancestors!
The real nobleman is a person like Zhao Laogen who is brave and fearless when he fights and takes the lead in the charge! It is a person like Zhao Laogen who cares about the court and the people! It's Zhao Laogen who knows people who help the poor!
He is much more noble than the moths who lie on the merits of the ancestors!
