Chapter 405: An Inconspicuous Beginning, When the Liaodong Raiders Are Underway
For the people of Jinzhouwei, this winter is destined to be unusual. [No pop-up novel network]
First of all, there was a post in the long-abandoned wooden city, that Lord Wang was very much like the legendary Wenqu Xing, his conversation and appearance were quite amazing, and it made people think that he was the Lord Qincha who paid a private visit to Weifu.
Then there came another nobleman, this person seems to be a little old with Lord Wang, when he arrived in Jinzhou, he once came to visit, and then he also came to the door from time to time, although he was closed every time, but he was not discouraged and never gave up.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with outsiders, at most it can provide some talking points, and what makes everyone pay attention to is another thing, that is, the noble man is very generous and generous, and he has been rejected again and again, but he has no sense of shame at all, but from time to time he rewards the old Liu Tou who is the gatekeeper!
To say that this noble person is a nobleman, the person who rewarded him was just a scholar, but it was amazingly generous, for more than half a month, Lao Liu Tou actually got dozens of taels of silver in bits and pieces, and stars can emerge in people's envious eyes.
Dozens of taels! In this poor and remote place, I don't know if I can save so much silver after working hard all my life, the three sons of Lao Liutou's family, originally because they couldn't afford the dowry, ended up playing singles, this is good, all of a sudden the three sons are settled, and there is still room for more, how can others not envy it?
Therefore, when the noble man suddenly began to recruit sailors and craftsmen, the people of Jinzhou were all eager to recruit them, some were recruited, and some were brushed down, and their moods were different.
Among them, the biggest change in the situation is the Lu family brothers, they are all villagers, what is the original situation of the Lu family, everyone knows that the poor can't eat, if it weren't for the second child of the Lu family who still has some way out, and can get some food back from time to time, the old lady of the Lu family may have starved to death.
But now these four brothers are amazing, that's called a majesty, not only with a high salary, but also can be an instructor, training those group of soldiers! It's not majestic, but seeing that the four brothers even spent money to hire someone to serve the old lady, how can they not be envied?
It's a pity that the conditions for the other party's recruitment are too strange, and the people who need to be either craftsmen or sailors, most of the people who live here in Jinzhou are farmers named military households, except for a handful of coolies, there will be nothing else, and they can only watch others climb the high branches.
Most people have rested their thoughts, but there are also people who do not give up, from time to time to run to the vicinity of the south city to look, left and right to the first month, it is the agricultural season, idle is also idle, why not try your luck?
Zhao Yu is one of them, he is a native of the nearby Zhaojia Village, he has always been a lively person, this day is clear, the weather is just right, he also rushed early in the morning, and ran to the vicinity of Nancheng with a companion from the same village.
"I said, Brother Gou, you've been here dozens of times, and I haven't seen any movement in Nancheng, why are you still here? It's so warm today, how comfortable is it to sleep under the covers? "The name Gou Yu is more common among the people, easy to remember, but a little indecent, so Zhao Yu also removed a word and replaced it with the current name.
"leftovers, still don't change your words? What do you know? I guess that the noble man must be going to do a big job, since he has found a sailor, he is going to go to sea, so he must not repair the port or something? Why don't you need manpower? I'll teach you to be a good man, climb high branches, you have to be diligent with your legs and feet, and you can get a big head by grabbing the head, what is this hard work? ”
"Brother Yuzi, you know so much, no wonder my mother asked me to listen to you more."
"Look...... Yes! Zhao Yu was about to speak triumphantly, but when Leng Ding looked up, he screamed as if he had found some treasure, startling his companions beside him.
The man also hurriedly looked at it, and also made a discovery, and exclaimed: "Isn't the port just building ships?" Even the keel has been built, Brother Yuzi, you are really amazing. ”
"Look at what shipbuilding, you look carefully! Look at the wooden castle station! Zhao Yu slapped the back of his companion's head and shouted.
"Kijo Station?" The man rubbed his head, muttered quietly, and turned his head, it didn't matter, he was also shocked at the moment, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, grabbed Zhao Yu, and shouted repeatedly: "Flag again, flag again!" Brother leftover, that flag is a noble person recruiting manpower, right? Right? Right! ”
Under the ecstasy, the two made a lot of noise, which alarmed some people. There is no shortage of people with a heart, although they come early and late, and their eyes are good and bad, but when they hear the movements of the two, they are all looking over.
"Well, it must be, quick, let's go over quickly, don't let others take the lead!" Seeing this, Zhao Yu was willing to delay, and pulled his companions to run to Muchengyi.
With a burst of exclamations of joy, more and more people joined the ranks of the wild run, as if there was gold to be picked up at the wooden castle station. Although I don't know how to read, everyone knows the pole, and the big character on it is the word 'recruitment', the last time I recruited craftsmen and sailors, there was such a flag in Nancheng.
The people who live nearby are very familiar with Muchengyi, Zhao Yu is no exception, there is no change in Muchengyi, but there are more than ten more soldiers at the door, he knows that these people are coming with nobles, and it is not surprising, what makes him care is that there is a table at the gate, and the person sitting behind the table is the king who went down to the earth of Wenquxing.
When he got closer, he slowed down, not because of the doubts in his heart, but because he knew the rules, first to first, if he squeezed and shouted, he would have to eat the whip.
Although they lined up, Lord Wang didn't speak, and the soldiers didn't make a sound, thinking that it would be announced after waiting for everyone to arrive, but it was easy to get to the head, and Zhao Yu was also scratching his liver, for fear that this time it would be the same as last time, only recruiting people with special professions, and when he was looking around, he happened to find an acquaintance.
"Uncle Liu, are you here too?" Zhao Yuchong sang a big song to Lao Liu's head, and the smile on his face was very bright, "Uncle, you are a celebrity in front of Lord Wang, can you tell us who you want to recruit today?" ”
"Won't you find out later? Now that I've said that, I'll have to do it twice later. Old Liu Tou glanced at him, then looked at the crowd that was gathering, and said angrily.
"Uncle Liu, my uncle, I'm so panicked, can you tell us about it? Otherwise, you can tell us, are the people recruited this time the same as last time, and do I have any hope? Zhao Yu bowed, and seeing that Lao Liu Tou was still unmoved, he simply pulled the corner of the other party's clothes and played a scoundrel.
"You? On Mr. Wang's side, I'm afraid there is not much hope, and the flute is still reliable; But another thing, if you are clever, you may be able to get a lottery. Lao Liu Tou was entangled by him, but he confessed two sentences, but these words seemed to be playing a sharp edge, which made Zhao Yu hear it in a fog, but he was even more confused.
When he came back to his senses and wanted to ask again, he saw that the old Liu Tou had retreated to Lord Wang's side, and he couldn't get close, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of his companion smiling so much that his mouth couldn't close together, and he was also angry, and he didn't feel that this name was Lengzi when he looked left and right, and in fact, he was stunned that the guy was better than himself, and it was possible to get into the blue eyes of Lord Wang.
Zhao Yu repeated the words of Lao Liu Tou, and the listeners were at a loss, and they couldn't figure out why Zhao Lengzi was more promising than Zhao Yu, could it be that Lord Wang specially picked more stupid people to recruit? It's really weird.
Of course, Zhao Yu also kept an eye on it, he didn't say the words behind Lao Liu's head, since he had to rely on his cleverness, it was right to enjoy it by himself.
The news spread quickly, and after a short time, there was already a crowd of people around Muchengyi, and most of the people from the nearby villages rushed over, mainly young people, and there were also elderly people, but only a few, and most of them came here just to see the excitement.
"It's almost as good as the people come, so let's get started." In anticipation, Lao Liu Tou took two steps forward and said loudly.
The crowd was silent, only the sound of breathing and the sound of waves in the distance, which seemed quite solemn.
"This time it's not a recruitment, it's a recruitment of experience skills, and there are different rewards depending on the level of skills offered, and if it's the same skill, it's on a first-come, first-served basis...... The minimum reward is five taels, no matter what the skill is, as long as it is adopted, you can get at least five taels of silver! Lao Liu opened his face and gestured to everyone with a serious expression.
"Wow!" I heard that it was not a recruitment, and the people who came to recruit were a little disappointed, but when they heard the reward and the specific number of the reward, everyone couldn't control it, and what Lao Liu Tou said behind was drowned in an uproar.
“…… Step forward in order. Fortunately, everyone heard the last sentence clearly, Zhao Yu took two steps forward impatiently, arrived at the table, bowed down, reported his name, and then nervously waited for the other party to ask.
"Zhao Yu, do you know how to farm?"
Hearing the first question, Zhao Yu was a little confused, he nodded subconsciously, they are all military households, how can anyone not farm?
"And what do you know?"
Zhao Yu was a little dumbfounded, farming experience? He has a lively mind, so he rarely puts it on the field, in fact, most young people are like this, do you just need to contribute to the land? What can you learn?
"Do you use a plowshare? Do you know the difference between the plough used for land reclamation and ordinary ploughing, and what are the particulars? What skills do you need to exert force? How deep should the plough go into the ground, and how deep is it, and ......" Seeing that he was speechless, Wang Shouren was not angry, and still asked questions slowly and carefully, and his voice was clear, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Everyone looked at each other, they were all at a loss, scholars, especially officials, were proud of reading, and who would care about such rough work in the fields? Lord Wang is obviously a big man, how could he care about the work in the fields? That's a bit of an anomaly!
There is only one person who has understood, and that is Zhao Yu, he finally understood Lao Liutou's first prompt, he really has no concept of these things, but Leng Zi is simple-minded, he is a good farmer, and of course the opportunity is greater than him.
However, thinking of the second prompt, he was not discouraged, he stretched out his hand and pulled his companion and urged: "Lengzi, did you hear the adult's question?" Don't hurry up and answer! ”
Ps. apologize, the plot of the dialogue with Wang Yangming is indeed Xiaoyu Wenqing, the newcomer is like this, not mature enough, and will make such and such mistakes, but even after reflection, he will definitely not be influenced by others in the future, write this kind of plot, well, that's it.
