Chapter 60: New Blood (I)

"Fifteen acres?" After all, it came out of the mansion, and even if he was not very popular in the family, he didn't feel that fifteen acres of land were very tempting. Moreover, although there are not many fields available for change of hands on the market at present, and the area is relatively scattered, the Tianzihao paddy fields on both sides of the canal are only five times old money per mu, which is equivalent to two and a half times the new money. Young people can buy one acre of work in the city for about two or three months, so why bother squeezing their heads for fifteen acres of fertile land that they don't know where they are?!

"Oh, my Lord Han!" Seeing the disdainful look on his boss's face, Deputy Governor Tang Tao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "You are really a young master from a big family, I don't know how difficult it is to make money." The pay of all walks of life in our Yangzhou city is high, but it is fast to spend money. Sensei said that fifteen acres of fertile land, even if it is the most inferior mountain field, fifteen acres is enough for many people to save two or three years without eating or drinking! Moreover, in the official document of the chief manager, these fifteen acres are just the beginning. In the future, every time you make one more level of military exploits, you can earn two more acres! ”

"Isn't it? The subordinates are not able to make their bodies, otherwise the subordinates will want to go to the pen! "It's better for the secretary to carry three mulberry soft bows and run quickly past the two of them." When did our Huai'an army lose a battle? As long as you don't die on the battlefield unlucky, how can you not get the credit of a tenth-level eighth-level after a few battles?! ”

This sentence is to the point. It's not that the people of Yangzhou City are suddenly dazzled by the benefits of fifteen acres of land, but the harvest and risk are really disproportionately large. That's why young people are scrambling to sign up for the army, in the hope that they can get the capital to establish themselves at the lowest cost.

"This, his grandmother's, this, ahhhh After thinking about all the twists and turns in it in an instant, Han Jianhong was not disappointed. However, when I thought about it, when I was ordered to join the army, I am afraid that the thoughts I reported were not very bright. As a result, the rebuke that had already come to his lips could no longer be spoken, and turned into a mouthful of spit, and spit on the ground with indignation.

While speaking, Qin Budi and the others had already set up a booth in the courtyard, began to record the names, hometowns, and addresses of the recruits, and then led them aside to do the most basic physical tests.

These are all part of the daily work of the military bureau, so each of them is extremely proficient. There is no need for Han Jianhong's boss to intervene at all, so he will handle Yiqiē in an orderly manner.

The teenagers who came to join the army lined up to do squats, weightlifting, throwing, bowing, and other basic tests. Those who follow the lì pass guò will be elated, as if they are in the middle of the battle. And those who fail the test are depressed, as if their whole life has become dim in an instant. (Note 1) Han Jianhong, the governor of the military department, watched from the side, and couldn't help frowning again. I always want to find an opportunity to say a few righteous and awe-inspiring words, and tell the young people who came to join the army that being a soldier and fighting a war is not a child's play, and everyone should be ready to sacrifice their lives for the country at any time. But for fear of hitting everyone too hard, the military department regained the bleak scene of the previous door. For a while, his face turned black, his scalp turned purple, and his lips trembled and trembled, but in the end, he couldn't say a word!

Just when he was suffocating his desire to die, Ding Han Jiuwu, who was in charge of transporting him to and from work, ran over sweating profusely, put his mouth to his ear, and reported in a low voice, "My lord, my nephew and young master are here." Waiting to see you at the gate! ”

"Which nephew, young master, you can make it clear!" When Han Jianhong heard this, his face turned even darker, he frowned, and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, it's the second child under the knee of Uncle Changfang, and he entered the first phase of the martial arts hall with your relationship back then." Jia Ding Han Ninety-five is worthy of being a caring dog, and he does not hesitate to give the most appropriate answer.

"Let him in, and if he has anything to say, just say it in the courtyard!" Don't you see I'm busy right now? He frowned again, his voice full of impatience.

It's not that he's an uncle, but the experience of the past few years, which is really chilling. If it wasn't for the sake of taking care of the children of the clan, he would not have crashed headlong into the muzzle of his own chief and lost the fat difference of the salt ambassador. But what about those people who have benefited from him, who has come to visit him when he is down? Who once came to accompany him to drink a few glasses of stuffy wine and listen to him say a few whining words? One by one, they can run as far as they can, as if he, Han Lao Liu, is a slut possessed by a declining god, and whoever gets caught in it will fall into evil mold for eight lifetimes.

Well, now I heard that even people like Hu Dahai, who were involved in the earth-shattering case, still have a chance to see the light of day, and his relatives have come to burn his unlucky sixth cold stove again! Hey, when someone Han is a crab, he can't remember a quarter of an hour ago when he puts down his claws!

Yet whether he is happy or not, the one who should come will still come. About three minutes later, a burly young man who had just grown a circle of fluff on his mouth squeezed in from outside the courtyard after Han Jiuwu. Far away, he bowed down and saluted, "Little nephew Qingyun, I've seen the sixth uncle!" ”

"This is a military department, no need to give family gifts!" Han Jianhong turned sideways with a cold face, then raised his hand to the right corner of his forehead, and returned the standard military salute, "You are also a soldier, you should know the rules!" ”

"Yes!" Han Qingyun immediately stood up straight and raised his hand in salute in a dignified manner. Then he quickly piled up a smile and whispered"; Sixth Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look so much better than you used to! ”

"Of course, your sixth uncle and I have a wide heart and a fat body, and I can eat and sleep!" The corners of Han Jianhong's mouth turned up, and he responded with a smile, "Is there something, if there is something, just say it." As you can see, today is a bit of a special situation. With so many people coming to join the army, I, the governor of the military department, can't help but keep the pass stricter! ”

"Yes, Sixth Uncle, you have always been serious in your work, and even the leaders of the martial arts hall admire this very much!" When Han Qingyun heard this, he immediately laughed and slapped his uncle's ass again. Then he leaned closer to him, and added with a bit of unwillingness: "Actually, my nephew came to you today, mainly to report to you." My nephew graduated from the Jiangwutang Infantry Department today, and is about to be added to the 2061st Regiment of the Second Army, the deputy of the first company of any battalion, and the head of the third capital, and the deputy lieutenant of the imperial insult. ”

"Deputy centurion of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the 6th Brigade of the 2nd Army Corps?" In an instant, Han Jianhong converted the other party's words into a statement that he was familiar with, and at the same time, a sincere smile swelled up on his face, "Yes, after all, he is the protégé of the Son of Heaven." As soon as he graduated, he became a deputy centurion. Sixth uncle, when I was so old with you, I could only squat next to the Metropolitan Governor and join the army as a small one! ”

"Six, Sixth Uncle" When Han Qingyun heard this, he couldn't help grinning and complained in a low voice, "Sixth Uncle teased me again." I'm a company deputy, how can I compare with you back then. ”

"Why not?" Han Jianhong frowned in surprise. Immediately, he shook his head with a sneer. At that time, the left army of Xuzhou only had more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, so the position of a soldier deputy to 100 households was far more precious than a staff officer like him, who had no soldiers to bring. And now, the Huai'an army alone has as many as 1340,000 soldiers, and a small company deputy will certainly not have the same future as being able to stay in the staff headquarters, and you can see General Manager Zhu himself at any time.

With this in mind, he deduced the purpose of his nephew's visit today. So, he shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice: "The lieutenant is not bad, and the military salary is five times a month." It's higher than me, the governor of the military department. Besides, you are under the command of General Xu Da, and some of them are fighting! Do a good job, our old Han family, it's up to you in the future! ”

"Uncle Six!" Han Qingyun was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He had just learned where he was going today, and he was thinking of looking for the sixth uncle in front of him, who had been the ambassador of the salt administration, to take a walk and see if he could change his position. Even if you can't enter a promising place like the Privy Council, you must at least find a way to move into the First Army and follow General Manager Zhu to make contributions. Unexpectedly, the other party refused to make a move at all, but used the scene to prevaricate and perfunctory one after another.

"I'm telling the truth!" Han Jianhong knew his nephew's thoughts, so he simply put his face down. "They were all raised by their parents, why should others go to the front line to fight hard, and you should stay behind and stand by?! Besides, since you have finished reading the lecture hall, you should know that the so-called thing of shaking a fan to break 100,000 enemies will only appear in the drama, and it cannot be reality at all. And in fact, from our chief manager himself, to Xu Da, Hu Dahai, and Wu Liangmou, who hasn't exchanged their lives for their lives today? The seven major legions are all wielding, together with the chief and deputy commanders of the brigades below, who has not personally carried a knife to the front line? I want to command the veterans of a hundred battles under my command by reading a few more books, shit, you don't have any real skills, who is willing to trust your life in your hands?! ”

In a hurry, he spoke in a slightly higher voice, which immediately attracted many of the auxiliary soldiers around him who had just been selected. Everyone tilted their ears and listened dumbfounded.

Han Jianhong himself, the more he talked, the smoother his thinking became, and the more he spoke, the sharper his mouth became, "The army is the least connected place." It's a mule or a horse, and it's clear if it's pulled to the front line for a walk. At the moment of life and death, everyone will not look at whose nephew you are, whose children and grandchildren! You are kind enough to dare to rush forward against the rain of arrows, and everyone is naturally willing to hand over their backs to you. You didn't see the enemy and you softened your legs, even if it was Lu Luzeng's own grandson, everyone still didn't bird you. I don't expect everyone to listen to your blind (bar)'s command! ”

"I know you're not convinced!" Seeing that his nephew's face turned purple with embarrassment, he paused, and he continued to say loudly, "I also know that all of you have hidden selfishness. It doesn't matter, when Lao Tzu defected to the chief manager, like you little rabbits, he also wanted to retreat in front and charge behind. I also want to send you to death, and I will make meritorious service! But now that you are a soldier in charge, and since you have put on that armor, you will forget those crooked thoughts sooner or later. Sooner or later, you will remember whose species you are, who you are fighting for, and what you are fighting for! Then you will find that you have come to this world in vain, and you will not be a seven-foot man in vain in this life! ”
