Zhao Laozhuan and Feng Youcai retired from the hundred-person elder family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Baihu had to quickly arrange for someone to go down to the camp to transport the body of the deceased back, they were all people from the same place, and they had to help each other in this case, because maybe that day, the person who needed to be transported would be himself. The Chinese still pay attention to the tradition of entering the soil for peace.
Zhao Laozhuan went back to his home angrily, and didn't even say a word to Feng Youcai, he was angry that Feng Youcai made his own decisions and went to guard the 3 beacon piers north of the Great Wall, isn't that looking for death? Feng Youcai also knew that Zhao Laozhuan was sincerely good to himself and considered himself, so he didn't care about Zhao Laoshuan's attitude.
Feng Youcai exchanged 10 taels of silver and 1 point of white noodles from the system.
Take out 5 taels of silver, go to the butcher where to buy 10 catties of mutton, now the mutton is still very cheap, 40 copper plates a catty, by the way, I also asked the price of rice and white noodles, basically in 20 copper plates a catty, compared to the system price is still a lot more expensive; In addition, this is a remote area, the price of grain itself is high, close to the Mongolian sheep producing area, and it is normal for the price of mutton to be cheap.
Feng Youcai carried 10 catties of mutton and a bag of white noodles back to his home.
There are 3 main rooms in my house, and the 2 rooms on the east side are connected together, that is, as a living room and a cooking hall, where I eat and also serve as my mother's bedroom; 1 bedroom on the west side is your own bedroom; 2 east wings, one is a kitchen, and one is Niu Niu's residence; All are earthen walls with thatched roofs; The courtyard walls are also adobe, and the courtyard is not large.
After being away from home for 2 months, I suddenly came home, which still surprised the old mother and little daughter-in-law. Mother likes this child daughter-in-law very much, she has always called her Niuniu, Niuniu's house is not far from here, and there are 3 brothers in the family, because she can't afford to raise her, so she sold Niuniu, and the Feng family did not treat her as an outsider.
Seeing Feng Youcai bring home so many things, I also felt very surprised, Niuniu hurriedly stepped forward to take the meat in Feng Youcai's hand, Feng Youcai put the noodles in the grain tank of the hall, and the grain tank at home was empty, Feng Youcai knew that it was not easy for his mother to be at home, and he usually couldn't eat well, even if he gave her money, he was reluctant to spend it, so it was better to buy the materials himself and take them home.
Niuniu's thin physique, it is still very laborious to lift 10 catties of meat. Feng Youcai took a closer look at Niuniu, she was not tall, she was 13 years old now, less than 150 years tall, with long braids, very white skin, and she was very beautiful, but she was too thin, and this was also because she couldn't eat enough and didn't eat well.
Feng's mother hurriedly asked her son: "Why did you come back suddenly, is there something wrong?" Also, how do you buy such things? Niuniu was also very curious, staring at Feng Youcai with big eyes, wanting to know the answer, when her father was alive, she could only eat some white noodles and buy some meat during the Chinese New Year.
"Mother, your son has become the general flag, buy some noodles and mutton dumplings to eat, and celebrate."
"And where did you get the money?"
"We killed 1 horse thief and snatched it from the horse thief"
"Be careful, horse thieves kill people without blinking, don't be stupid in the future."
The mother doesn't pay much attention to whether her son is promoted, and now she is most concerned about the safety of her son, which is the nature of all parents in the world.
Niuniu knows that her husband is the general banner and is very happy, women in this era can only rely on men to live, and if the man is strong, he will definitely have a better life in the future, and the general flag is already a big official for them.
When my mother heard that her son wanted to eat dumplings and bought all the noodles and meat, she didn't care about it, and started to work, asking me while she was busy, "When will you go back?" ”
"Tomorrow, when I get the appointment letter of the general flag, I will go back, and the autumn harvest is about to be, so I have to watch it more closely." I continued: "Mother, Zhao Laozhuan used to have a good relationship with my father, and now he also takes good care of me, let Niuniu send some noodles and meat to his family, a few little guys in his family are probably also very greedy." ”
The mother also knew the situation of Zhao Lao's family, so she said, "Okay, thanks to him for taking care of you, you should thank them." Saying that, my mother went to the yard to pick a few sycamore leaves, washed the leaves, cut off a piece of mutton, about 3 catties, wrapped it in leaves, and took a basin, and filled most of the pot noodles in the pot, which was estimated to be not as big as 10 catties, and even the meat and basin were put in a basket, and let Niuniu carry the basket to Zhao Laozhuan's house. Niuniu's weak physique is still very difficult to carry, but fortunately, the two are not far away. I was supposed to go, but I was afraid that Zhao Laozhuan would ask me, and I wouldn't be able to explain it to him, so I still worked hard.
Feng Youcai completely accepted the memory of this body, and he himself was a person who didn't like to talk, and Feng's mother and Niuniu didn't find any flaws.
I took advantage of the fact that my mother and Niuniu were busy and went out of the house, came to the outside of the fort, walked more than 1 mile, and released Feng Tian, Feng Yi, and Feng Er out of the system, Feng Tian asked, "What are the arrangements for the young master?" ”
"You go to Ningxia Mansion today to recruit displaced people, mainly carpenters, stonemasons, leather masons, tailors, cooks, blacksmiths, potters, showmen or literate people, shopkeepers, and even shop apprentices, as long as you have a skill, you can also be a strong farmer, and you can also be a soldier, but you have to be strong, you don't need to recruit too many people, 30 to 50 households are enough, you can promise them, as long as they complete their work on time, they will definitely let their whole family have enough to eat; Tomorrow you should try to rush back, this is 3 taels of silver, you take the flowers on the road, and tomorrow the people will eat on the road. When you come back tomorrow, you will go directly back to the camp with your people, and we will talk about the food and equipment later. Go back quickly, and stay safe on the way. ”
"Yes, young master, you will definitely complete the task." After saying that, the three of them got on their horses and left.
It is 60 kilometers from Baihusuo to Ningxia Fucheng, and it is still very fast to ride a horse, which is a little harder, but for the guards, this little bit of suffering is still a little meaningful. It is 150 miles from Yinchuan to Xiayingzidun, and if you take the displaced people with you, it will be much slower, and it is estimated that it will take more than 2 days.
In the evening, Feng Youcai still told his mother about the attack on the Mongols in Xiayingzidun, anyway, his mother would know sooner or later. Although I am worried about my son, living in this era is the sorrow of everyone, and the responsibility cannot be escaped, and the mother can do nothing but ask me to pay more attention in the future.
In order to appease his mother's worries, he told his mother that he had raised the general flag now, and the captain of the hundred people also agreed to recruit his own troops, and the hundred households were responsible for providing food, weapons, armor, etc., and there was no need to worry about it after recruiting 30 people, and the tens of thousands of acres of land and hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland north of the North Great Wall were all their own, and when they got the title deed, they could also recruit private soldiers, so that the safety would be more guaranteed.
