"I don't care how you used to work in the county government, after joining my 500 army, you will be a soldier of the country! There must be rules in action and behavior, no oppression of the people, no contempt for military discipline! My troops, I dare not guarantee anything else, I can guarantee that the military salary will be paid on time! If you don't have any other expenses, all these military salaries can be given to your family to live! ”

"You may have heard others say that the army is not a place to get rich, and if you want to get rich, you have to engage in crooked ways. Now I tell you that in my 500th army, you can get rich without engaging in crooked ways! The way to get rich is on the battlefield! As long as you can kill more devils with more and higher positions, you will get more rewards, you can get more loot, and your family and relatives will be able to live better! ”

There is not so much to say about these people, Gao Quan just made a speech before the recruits enlisted in the army based on the characteristics of these people, if you want to rely on the 500 troops to support your family and make a fortune, you have to abide by military discipline, you have to go to the battlefield to fight and make meritorious contributions! After saying all this, and letting these recruits get to know him as a military commander on the first day of enlistment, Gao Quan waved his hand, "Zibin, you can take these people to report to Director Zheng now." ”

Just now, the commander of the guard company asked Gao Quan if the 500 Army would recruit people, but in fact, the 500 Army would recruit people at any time, but now that he had just arrived in Tongbai, everything was not stable, and the recruitment work had not yet begun. The commander of the guard company saluted Gao Quan and ran away with the group of recruits who were about to enlist.

Seeing the recruits walk away, Gao Quan took Tang Wenjuan and walked along the street in front of the military department, and two guards slowly followed not far behind. Gao Quan is now a lieutenant general, and he said that he came out alone, how could it really be just him and Tang Wenjuan.

I haven't come back for two years, although Tongbai County is still lively, it is still far from before Gao Quan left. There is obviously no such thriving scene on the street, there are basically few smiling faces on the pedestrians on the street, everyone looks preoccupied, and there are many fewer stalls and shops on both sides of the street. The nationwide natural disaster, although Tongbai is remote, is still affected after all.

On the corner of the street, there is a vendor selling rock sugar gourds, carrying a grass target, and strings of red rock sugar gourds are inserted on it. Gao Quan remembered the matter of buying rock sugar gourds for a few women a few years ago, and felt warm in his heart, turned his face to look at Tang Wenjuan, and the female reporter's face was also full of gentle smiles.

"How do you sell rock sugar gourds?" Gao Quan walked over and asked the sugar gourd vendor with a smile.

"Five copper plates in a string. If the chief wants to buy it, he will sell the three copper plates. This, if this female prefect wants it, I will give you a string. "The hawker is very good at getting into trouble, as soon as he looks at the military uniforms worn by Gao Quan and Tang Wenjuan, plus the two followers who follow behind them, he immediately knows that these two are the commanders in the army, and he immediately reduces the price. The army commander of this year can never be provoked!

"Get me two skewers." Gao Quan took out a banknote and handed it to the vendor, of course he would not be cheaper than two strings of sugar gourds.

"Hey, hey." The peddler agreed repeatedly, picked two strings of the largest and reddest from the grass target and handed them to Gao Quan, and wanted to find money, Gao Quan waved his hand and walked away with Tang Wenjuan. The peddler touched the banknote and grinned, today is considered to have met a nobleman, and this banknote alone is more than he earned in two days!

Tang Wenjuan was like a happy little girl, holding a string of sugar gourds in one hand, humming a cheerful song in her mouth, biting on the gourd strings from time to time, and her eyes were bent into crescents.

After shopping for two streets, the sky gradually darkened, there were already shops on the street with lights, and Tang Wenjuan didn't have much sugar gourd in his hand, so the two of them walked back slowly. It's all at this point, and it's time to go back to dinner.

There was a low cry, and Gao Quan was surprised to see that there was a man standing in the dark shadow outside the gable of a shop on the side of the street, not tall, and he was still a half-old child listening to the cry.

Gao Quan walked in the direction of the man in the dark shadow, and the guards behind him quickly leaned in. Tang Wenjuan was half a step behind Gao Quan, and began to tinker with her camera again. Tang Wenjuan's professional sensitivity is extremely strong, and any accident is the object of Tang reporters' news.

"Who are you and why are you crying here?" Gao Quan stood on the side of the road and asked the man in the shadow.

"I, I'm hungry." The man in the shadow stopped crying, snorted and answered Gao Quan's question, and then slowly walked out of the shadow.

Sure enough, it was a child, about 1.5 meters tall, and his face was childish. He wore a tattered gown with no sleeves or buttons, a pair of pants with one leg shortened and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The face was also not clean, with a noticeable stain. These are nothing, and the most surprising thing is that this child has a hay stuck in his unkempt hair, which is clearly a sign of the old society sticking grass to sell itself!

Gao Quan looked at the child in front of him with a surprised face, he hoped that his own judgment was wrong, the grass on the child's hair was just the mark left by the young man's naughty mischief, but the young man's next actions completely proved that Commander Gao was well-informed, and his first judgment was completely correct!

"Master, you bought me. I, I'll do the work. I can fetch firewood, I can make a fire, I can carry water. I didn't eat much. Please, sir, you bought me. The young man climbed to the ground and kowtowed to Gao Quan, and his voice sounded.

"Hurry up! Who told you to sell your own here? Gao Quan reached out and grabbed the young man's arm and pulled the man up. The young man originally wanted to struggle twice, but where did he have the strength of Commander Gao? Gao Quan's arm was exerted, and the young man's body was directly lifted, and he couldn't stand up if he didn't want to.

"Where's your father?" Seeing that this child is almost thirteen or fourteen years old, he is not low, but his weight is very light, and Gao Quan is mentioned on one hand, at most sixty or seventy pounds. "How did they make you sell yourself here?" As soon as these words came out, Gao Quan had already guessed the result, and sure enough, the young man's answer proved that Gao Quan's judgment was correct again!

"My mother died two months ago. A few people dressed like you went to our house, and as soon as they left, my mother hanged herself. My father brought me here, and yesterday he died outside the west gate when he couldn't walk. Master, you bought me, I only eat one bowl of rice per meal, and I can do a lot of work. After the boy had said a few words, he tried to climb to the ground and kowtow, but was stopped by two guards.

"What's your name and how old are you?" Gao Quan looked at the young man and hesitated a little, he was a soldier, could this kid follow him except be a soldier? But recruiting such underage soldiers in the army is against international law! Commander Gao has always believed that his 500 army is a righteous army, and recruiting scouts seems to be a bit contrary to his life creed.

"My name is Yang Runkai, and I am seventeen years old this year." Listening to Gao Quan's name and age, the young man who felt that his business was promising straightened up his small chest and replied loudly.
