Seeing that Su Hao had spoken to this point, Hao Tong also knew that if some things were not explained clearly to Su Hao, it would be impossible for the other party to be in a happy mood. Thinking of this, he stepped forward and replied: "Su Baihu, in fact, Zhang Dusi has no ill will towards you, he just values the talent of Baihu and wants to entrust Baihu with important responsibilities." ”

Su Hao shook his head and said, "I can't believe this explanation. If he just wants me to help him train a group of scouts who can do surveying and mapping, he can recruit me to Nanchang, I heard that there is a martial arts school in Nanchang Wei, and it is not very logical to teach these contents in the martial arts school? Why do you want to set up a single 100 households, and let me be responsible for recruiting people to cultivate? ”

Hao Tong said: "This matter, speaking of which, is the friendship between Zhang Dusi and my Mr. Tu, he asked Su Baihu to help cultivate this group of scouts, which was prepared for my Yunnan border army." After they have completed their studies, Zhang Dusi will send all of them to Yunnan to help our general draw all the maps of the Yunnan border. ”

"Do you mean that these people I recruited are not in the Jiangxi Metropolitan Division, and they can all be transferred to Yunnan at that time?" Su Hao's IQ is not low, and when he heard Hao Tong say this, he thought about the mystery clearly.

Hao Tong smiled and said, "Su Baihu really knows everything. Zhang Dusi wanted Su Baihu to recruit these scouts, although they were trained in Jiangxi, but they belonged to our Yunnan army. After these scouts are completed, my two brothers will take them away, and as for the soldiers under Su Baihu's command, some can be transferred from the other hundred households to make up the number. ”

"That's why the two of you will deign to be a general banner under my name, and you just want to elevate me so that you can take all the people away when the time comes, isn't that so?" Su Hao asked.

Hao Tong accompanied the smiling face and said: "Su Baihu didn't want to participate in the affairs of our army, our brother took people away, didn't Su Baihu just end up relaxed?" When the time comes, you can go back to be your showman, or be your master. Zhang Dusi is thinking of your goodness, and you can be regarded as having a backer in the province. ”

"That being said, it's really unbearable for you to calculate me like this." Su Hao pretended to be annoyed and said.

Hao Tong said: "Su Baihu, let me tell you the bottom again, the matter of the telescope was suppressed by Zhang Dusi." Originally, the Nanjing Military Department said that they would recruit you and become an ambassador to the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, but they were stopped by Zhang Dusi. Zhang Dusi said that in the future, the telescopes in the army will be purchased from you, in fact, he wants to give you a compensation. Jiangxi Dusi, plus the Nanjing Military Department, needs at least 200 telescopes, this is an order of 20,000 taels of silver, is Su Baihu satisfied? ”

"Well, that's reasonable." Su Hao had a smile on his face, this money was so happy to earn, he had to go back and sum it up with Hao Yizong, and let him expand Hao's workshop by 10 times. The Ming army is millions of people, and the demand for telescopes is astronomical, if you can monopolize this business, it will be done.

"However, what about the 20,000 taels of silver...... I want to return one percent to Zhang Dusi. Hao Tong added.

"It's up to you." Su Hao directly handed over the power to Hao Tong.

"Humble duty understands!" Hao Tong replied very happily.

Things are already very clear, Su Hao, a hundred households, is actually just an ornament. His real identity is just an instructor, responsible for training a group of surveying and mapping trainees managed by Hao Tong and Deng Kui, who will take them back to Yunnan to map the Yunnan border. In order to thank Su Hao, Zhang Hong, the head of Jiangxi Prefecture, agreed to the offer of 100 taels of silver for a telescope, and opened an order for no less than 200 pieces, and smashed out a full 20,000 taels of silver.

As for Zhang Hong wanting to get a kickback in this, this is also the practice of Ming Dynasty officialdom. The chief officer in the army even has to pay a commission on the soldier's salary, not to mention this kind of business that comes out of thin air.

"Okay, two, now let's discuss how these scouts will recruit, how they will train, and what standards they will eventually achieve." Su Hao said.

Deng Kui said: "Su Baihu, our brothers don't understand this matter of training scouts, everything is decided by Su Baihu." However, what Su Baihu wants to teach the scouts is something that our brothers also want to learn, and when we can save it, our soldiers will be able to draw, and we won't know anything. ”

"It's nature." Su Hao said, "Since the two of you are the general banner, then you must lead by example." All the skills that I ask my students to master, you must master as well. If you can't grasp it...... Two, there should still be a military law in the military, right? ”

"Su Baihu doesn't want to use military law against our brothers, right?" Deng Kui asked with a glare.

Su Hao also glared at him and replied, "Why, doesn't this hundred households have the right to use military law against you?" ”

"You...... Have you beaten our brothers? Deng Kui asked.

Hao Tong grabbed Deng Kui and said to him: "Old Deng, Su Baihu is right, people have no rules, and they don't form a circle. If neither of us listens to Su Baihu, how can the following soldiers be convinced? When Mr. Tu left us behind, he ordered us to obey Su Baihu's orders, and if our brother really did something wrong, Su Baihu would use military law against us, and we should accept it. ”

Deng Kui scratched his scalp and said sneeringly: "I naturally know this truth, am I not afraid that this Xiucai will deliberately make trouble for our brothers?" ”

"Ridiculous!" Su Hao saw that Hao Tong and Deng Kui had unified their thoughts, and his heart was settled, he slapped the table pretendedly, and said with a straight face: "Hao Tong and Deng Kui listen to orders!" ”

"The last general!" Hao Tong and Deng Kui responded in unison, but there was some helplessness in Deng Kui's voice, and there were even a few teasing.

Su Hao said: "I ordered the two of you to quickly go to a compound outside the city to serve as a barracks for our hundred households." You know better than I know what kind of place is appropriate. Since we want to train troops, we must show the appearance of training troops. The soldiers we train must be able to be literate and martial. The two of you are going to discuss a plan for practicing martial arts, and I'm here to prepare a plan for practicing surveying and mapping. Five days later, we will go to the countryside to recruit troops, and strive to train this scout team by March next year. ”

"Whoa!" Hao and Deng agreed loudly, and then strode out to run errands.

After sending Hao Tong and Deng Kui away, Su Hao cleaned up, and then took his hundred households to the county office. After receiving the appointment from the military, Su Hao naturally had to inform the county magistrate Hanwen, after all, he still had a salary from the county government.

"Hundred?"

Han Wen met Su Hao in the second hall of the county government, and when he saw the report of the hundred households, he was inexplicably surprised, looked at Su Hao and asked, "Change, why did you get involved with the military?" ”

Su Hao told him how he met Tu Wenhuan when he was digging a well, but he did not reveal that Tu Wenhuan asked him to help develop the flintlock pistol, but pushed it to the two things of telescopes and maps, saying that Tu Wenhuan sent Hao Tong and Deng Kui to follow him in order to urge him to do these two things.

"I've heard about the map. You asked Qian'er to help you embroider the map, and Qian'er stayed up for two nights. Han said meaningfully.

Su Hao hurriedly said: "Miss Han is ingenious, if you change to someone else, I'm afraid it will be difficult to understand the trick of embroidery at once." However, this kind of thing will not trouble Miss Han in the future, and I should find some embroidery girls in the county seat to do it. ”

Han Wen looked at Su Hao, and didn't know what to say. During this period of time, he has felt more and more that his daughter has an indescribable and inexplicable affection for Su Hao, but she is very concerned about Su Hao's affairs, which is clearly the performance of a girl who has fallen in love. But judging from Su Hao's side, he seems to be quite sluggish about this matter, and when he mentions Han Qian, he only regards her as a friend or as the daughter of his boss.

However, Su Hao's performance also made Han Wen unable to accuse him of anything, after all, his daughter was more active, while Su Hao was passive and even ignorant.

Han Wen didn't know whether to support his daughter's choice or not, Su Hao appeared in Han Wen's field of vision, but it was only more than two months, but during this time, Su Hao showed so many talents that people were repeatedly impressed. Han Wen felt that if Su Hao could use this kind of intelligence in the imperial examination, he would definitely be in the middle of the list one day, and it would be a good choice to give his daughter to such a potential young man.

It's a pity that Su Hao has been doing some things that are inconsistent with Xiucai's identity all day long, what kind of improvement stove is he doing, and he is digging coal mines, and now he is actually mixed into the army again, doesn't he know that only Congwen is the most correct way out? Such an unreliable person, can his daughter follow him, can it be reassuring?

"Anyway, what are your considerations for accepting this appointment from the capital division? Could it be that you are planning to give up the imperial examination and put pen to paper? Han Wen asked.

Su Hao shook his head and said, "County Zun, the student has no intention of joining the army. I heard Hao Tong relay the meaning of Zhang's palm print, but I was just asked to temporarily hang a hundred household positions, so that I could act cheaply and teach a group of scouts who were proficient in surveying and mapping on their behalf. When these scouts come out, they will take the title of Hundred Households from me, and I will still be free.

The students thought that everyone was responsible for protecting the family and defending the country, and since the military had taken a fancy to these small skills of the students, the students naturally had to make a contribution. ”

"Well, it's good if you think so." Han Wen nodded, "After this is over, you still have to go to the academy to study hard, and strive to be able to participate in the township exam next year, and the title of the gold list." Everything is inferior, only reading is high, this reader, do a good job, and help the people through the world, is the right way. ”

"Students remember the teachings of the county." Su Hao said, "County Zun, since the student has been appointed by the Jiangxi Metropolitan Division, the county Zun has appointed the position of the county yagongfang master to the student, I am afraid that it is not suitable to serve anymore, and the student has come to ask the county to withdraw this appointment." ”
