Chapter 16: The Flying Slaves Laugh Together

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't do anything to the guards, they had just trained for more than a year, and it was impossible to expect them to be like the Praetorian Guards, so they had to train slowly in the future.

The old man is now looking at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan The two babies are becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, the two little guys are too tacit in the fight, the movements are clean and neat, waiting to grow up a little more, and there is no problem for the two of them to work together to deal with the guards in the palace.

This is a combination of two swords, right? It seems that the two masters in their family mentioned in Bi Gou's letter should also be a man and a woman, teaching two apprentices respectively, so that those two masters can be described as pedantic and can do anything.

The two guards were frightened, they still didn't understand what happened just now, that is, they saw the little boy and the little lady and the old man a few quick comparisons, the old man retreated, the little boy's arm seemed to be a little injured, nothing else, too fast.

"You two go out, wait outside, Xiaobao and I will talk to the old man." Wang Juan helped Zhang Xiaobao rub the back of his arm and instructed the two guards.

The two guards knew that the little lady was a little dissatisfied with them, so they retreated in disagreement, and secretly made up their minds that they must practice their kung fu well, not to mention killing the enemy in battle, at least they must protect the people who should be protected.

"Grandpa, let's go into the house, grandpa is really powerful, if there is a knife in his hand, Xiaobao and I ......"

"You and Xiaobao should use the Hidden Arrow, no one would have thought that two little babies who looked eight or nine years old would hide hidden weapons in their sleeves, and they couldn't guess that you would react so quickly and cooperate so well, tell me what you want the old man to do this time?"

The old man didn't wait for Wang Juan to finish praising him, so he praised the two of them, and the old man was indeed very satisfied in his heart, from the position before the attack just now to the position of the two people when he retreated, it was always so just right, one main attack, one auxiliary.

Wang Juan still smiled sweetly, "Grandpa, we have nothing to do, just wander, wander around, wander to you, I heard that there is an old man living here, or I have seen it on the shore, I and Xiaobao just want to talk to the old man, ask about the matter here, and go back to tell Xiaobao his father." ”

"Oh, wandering, then you are really good at wandering, come in, Xiaobao's hand just now is really scary, unexpected, unprepared, how can that arm make such a move, decoupling, good ability, it's not easy to practice, right?"

The old man led the two people into the house, which was very simple, a couch, a chair, and a table, and a few small benches next to it, and a small table in front, and nothing else.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his arm, feeling much better, there would be nothing to do for two more days, the technique of de-torture was not so easy to use, and Wang Juan consciously sat on the small bench, and then said to the old man: "Grandpa, you can't learn this ability now, the little baby can learn, but it hurts the body too much, it hurts very much, and it may leave the root of the disease in the future, this process is extremely difficult." ”

"Oh? How did you learn it so hard? The old man also understood how much damage would be caused to the place where the bones were connected with that kind of action just now.

"How else can you learn? Gritting his teeth, taking advantage of the strong flexibility of the body at this age, he will insist on it, but he can't just use it to play, use it once to recover for a few days, and take the medicine when he goes back. Zhang Xiaobao explained.

"And so will the juan?" The old man asked again.

Wang Juan nodded, "There are only a few simple actions, not as good as Xiaobao, old man, do you feel the tide when you live here?" On the seaside, as soon as the sea breeze blows, it comes with the moisture in the sea, and it always rains here, so don't live in such a house when you feel the tide, and live on the bamboo building. ”

"Tide, how can it not be tide, but I have long been used to it, the bamboo building is good, but the people don't have so much work and money to build the bamboo building, and they work all day long just to be able to eat, and you will wait for you to help the people live a good life."

The old man didn't know this, he could only think about building a bamboo building before, and now he pinned his hopes on the Zhang family, and Bi Gou's letter had written in detail some of the things that the Zhang family had done, and it seemed that he could govern Luzhou well.

Thinking of this, the old man said: "The eighteen big ships that came here with you are really very useful, and they can sell the local goods for more money, I wonder if your family is willing to do this?" The land route was controlled by Qinzhou, and when the goods passed, the officials there would have to collect benefits, and when the goods were sold, counting the benefits given, they would not make money.

The east is Lianzhou, the middle is a strait, cut out a part of Luzhou, there are mountains, only some mountain people who may not even have household registration lived, it is not so easy to talk, if you don't pass from that narrow place, take the strait wide place, it will take half a day in the past, and it will take half a day to come back.

And the local people in Lianzhou live almost the same as here, a little better, the things here were not worth much in the past, if you sell salted fish, in the same sea, you can hit it, people can also hit it, why buy yours? The caravan that went back and forth was only the man surnamed Shen.

It turned out that there were other caravans coming, but later the local officials drove away the other caravans and left the surname Shen behind, and the days here became more and more miserable. ”

The old man said in detail, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan listened carefully, the general matter, the intelligence personnel have already understood something, and listening to the old man at this time, the thinking is even clearer.

"Grandpa, then how many mountain people in Luzhou do you say do not have household registration? What do they usually need? Can you let them come out of the mountains, there is still a lot of empty land here, my family and the Juan Juan's family's Yongye field is given, but there is no one to plant, and it will be abandoned if it is placed there. ”

Zhang Xiaobao noticed the mountain, since there is no household registration, it means that the actual population is more than the registered population, and life on the mountain is definitely not as comfortable as flat land, it is nothing more than that the local exploitation was too strong in the past, and the mountain looks better.

The old man pondered for a while and said, "Your family brought nearly a thousand Kaifeng people over this time, isn't it enough?" If you estimate that there are about 2,000 people in the mountains, they live more scattered, and there can be more in the mountains on the other side of Qinzhou, if your family has the ability to pull it down, there are still five or six thousand people.

However, the mountain people generally don't believe in the people outside, the people are fierce, and they want to pull people down by force, but it is not possible to rely on the little Hou Ye's palace guards, let alone those in your family, if they have skills like you, you can still try. ”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were very happy to hear it, it's good to have someone, it doesn't matter if you don't want to contact it, once you are born and twice cooked. If you plagiarize it, you can be recruited into the army, and Zhang Zhongkong has an official position of recording and joining the army, but there are no soldiers.

Wang Juan opened his mouth at this time and said: "That old man, do the local people have any relatives outside, how do they pass on the news?" The caravan with the surname Shen? How did the old man get in touch with Grandpa Bi? Go to the official post? ”

"Hehehe! Two little babies, as Bi Gou said, the elves are very, and they can't be compared with ordinary little babies, and they say that they are wandering over, and they just want to ask the old man if I have a flying slave, right? It's the pigeon. ”

The old man is also a human spirit, and as soon as Wang Juan's words came out, he knew what the two of them were doing here.

Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao with a smile, and Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Sure enough, there are carrier pigeons, grandpa, where did you come from?" Can you help us raise some, it is best to teach us the method of raising, we can use the method of hatching poultry to exchange with you. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also knew the importance of carrier pigeons, and it would not work if he didn't come up with some substantial benefits, so he gritted his teeth and was ready to take out the method of hatching poultry as an equivalent exchange.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "Your family is indeed not a long-term thing with that incubation method, incubation is just poultry, but poultry do not lay eggs when they hold the nest, and a chicken will lay more than ten eggs less at that time, and some even lay twenty eggs less."

It is much worse for the people to have dozens of eggs and dozens of eggs less, and it is good to take them out, although your family has taken out a lot of things, but there are still people who are worried about good things, as long as you remember, what your family has offered, the emperor can remember.

Wait for me to write a letter to the master of the family, ask, if the master agrees, I will help you train some individuals to raise flying slaves, my master is at home in his spare time, in fact, he is also busy repairing Meiguan Road and Da Yuling, my lord is surnamed Zhang, I don't know if the pigeon eggs can hatch? ”

"Zhang Jiuling? He's back? Wang Juan thought of this person at once, and was very happy, Zhang Jiuling's house is not too far from here, and he can let Zhang Xiaobao's father write letters in the future.

"I'm back, what are the plans of the little girl? Do you want to pay for the repair of those two places? The old man asked with a smile.

"Out, must come out, we don't know if the pigeon can hatch, we can try, don't tell the hatching recipe first, wait for enough ducks here, Uncle Zhang's side will almost return to Beijing, let Uncle Zhang bring the recipe back."

Zhang Xiaobao changed his mind again.

The old man was stunned: "How do you know that my master can go back?" ”

"Of course, the repaired place will go back, grandpa, tomorrow, no, I will send someone to learn how to train and raise pigeons with you in a while, you say the number, and my family will immediately pay Uncle Zhang to repair the road."

Zhang Xiaobao diverted the topic, preparing to bleed, and used money in exchange for methods.

"This, it's almost enough to get more than a thousand, you can't let your family pay for it, find a few clever people to come over, why don't you two follow?" The old man likes two children, smart and sensible.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, "One thousand is too little, my family has 10,000 yuan, let those people who build roads eat better, and also make Uncle Zhang easier, I and Juan Juan can't learn, we must find a clever one, and eat with the old man for lunch for a while, the old man can appreciate his face." ”

"Reward, I can't ask for it, Bi Gou didn't talk about the two of you eating together in the letter." The old man smiled with satisfaction, and touched the heads of the two babies, and their faces were kind.
