252 The east wind is coming
"What are you laughing at, aren't you?" Seeing the two laughing, Rida Muzi suddenly became unhappy.
There are also a few Qiang teenagers in the mountains as soldiers under the command of Lu Haoshan, in addition to good food and drink, there are one or two taels of silver every month, and as the captain of the mountain is more, there are one or two or five dollars, in the Qiang village I don't know how many people envy, because the Qiang people live deep in the mountains, life is self-sufficient, there are not many ways to make money, most of them rely on hunting, selling tea to earn some silver, not much money a month, the crops sold are cheap, but the daily necessities bought are not cheap, so the life is not easy, the simplest is as the daughter of the patriarch, Rida Muzi owed Lu Haoshan dozens of taels of silver for the white tiger skin, and because of the tight hand, it took more than two months to get it together.
One tael or two taels of silver a month, Rida Muzi has not yet seen it, but when she accidentally learned that those instructors, that is, Tang Qiang, Zhao Gongchang and others of the private guard, have seven to ten taels of silver a month, her heart is not calm all of a sudden, ten taels a month, that year will be one hundred and twenty taels, more than one hundred taels, this is an astronomical amount for the people of the Qiang people, and it is also a large amount in the eyes of Rida Muzi.
Lu Haoshan smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Yun'er, they are professional, do you know what a profession is?" That's why they'll always be here to do it, and they'll do it with their hearts, but you're improvised, and you won't teach it for a few days, how can this give you moonsilver, so let's do it, you don't want to teach it then, give you a big red envelope, and it will definitely not treat you badly, okay. ”
"No, I want moon silver" Rida Muzi categorically refused, and immediately said: "I can also be professional, and I will work hard." ”
"You're not kidding, are you? Being a soldier is not a joke, do you know what it means to be a military order? ”
Hita Muzi said with some disdain: "Of course I know, my father is still a little toast, doesn't he just listen to you?" OK. ”
"You were a woman's family back then. Suffered? Can your family agree? ”
"In our Qiang tribe, women can also hold up half the sky, and the whole village has to listen to my grandma, what is this, as for my father, this is my business, you just say yes or not."
One more master at once, or his own person, of course Lu Haoshan had no opinion, and nodded when he heard the words: "If your family doesn't object." In principle, I have no opinion. ”
Rida Muzi was overjoyed, and immediately said nervously: "Then, future cousin-in-law, I also need ten taels of silver a month." ”
"My own people, I'll give you ten taels."
"Ah Da and Ah Er are also here, they are also very good at fighting, you also have to give them monthly silver, not as much as ten taels, just one person a month one or two or five dollars. May I? Rida Muzi's eyes rolled a few times, and he immediately "opened up" a financial route.
Lu Haoshan nodded without hesitation: "Yes, but there is a problem, that is, when they are needed." They have to obey orders like soldiers.'
"Okay, then future cousin-in-law, whether the money for that month will start to be distributed from this month, you see. I've also been teaching for a few days."
I met a small fortune fan, this Rida Muzi, when it comes to silver. The eyes are like a light, the whole person is in good spirits, it is good, Rida Muzi has superb archery skills, and Ah Da Ah Er is like two beasts from the deep mountains, they are all talents, only more than a hundred taels of silver a year can accept three masters, Lu Haoshan is snickering in his dreams, how can there be any reason to disagree.
"Of course you can, but on one condition."
Hita Muzi immediately asked, "What conditions?" ”
"Ask your cousin's consent first, and if she doesn't agree, don't talk about it."
Let Rida Muzi enter the barracks, this is a bit inappropriate, Lu Haoshan is afraid that Lin Yuexuan will be unhappy and entangle herself, so she simply handed over this problem to Rida Muzi, this beautiful girl, one will be arrogant, one will be cold, and the other will be coquettish like a child, there is a way, Lu Haoshan simply let her solve this trouble.
"Okay, I'll find my cousin right away." After Hita Muzi finished speaking, she ran away like a gust of wind, for her, it was really in a hurry, and she was in a hurry.
Lu Haoshan and Li Nian looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads, and then continued to talk about the selection and allocation of the elite battalion, that is, the scout battalion.
I don't know what method Rida Muzi used, and she really persuaded Lin Yuexuan to agree to her joining Lu Haoshan's army, of course, although she agreed, but Lin Damei did not give Lu Haoshan a white eye, not only repeatedly asked Lu Haoshan not to let her cousin participate in dangerous tasks, but also carried out "non-violent non-cooperation" actions against Lu Haoshan, for example, Lu someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night to steal incense and jade, and the boudoir door that was opened when he knocked on weekdays, let Lu Haoshan knock again and again, but it would not be opened.
This made Lu someone unaware of how depressed he was.
However, Lu Haoshan can't take care of being depressed, there are too many things to do now, assisting the Zhao family to purchase spring tea, training his subordinates, recruiting talents, secretly purchasing grain and grass, preparing firearms workshops, building blast furnaces, etc., it can be said that he is very busy, and Lu Haoshan and Lin Yuexuan's marriage will also be held in late February, and the preparations for the marriage will also take a lot of Lu Haoshan's energy, which can be said to be very busy.
Fortunately, Lu Haoshan is not short of money for the time being, with the full assistance of Li Nian, the Zhao family and the Lin family, in addition to so many military households and craftsmen can be sent, all of them are progressing very smoothly, as a former top craftsman, Lu Haoshan's talent has been further released, training, construction, manufacturing all kinds of tools, blast furnaces, building large waterwheels, etc., in the eyes of all his subordinates, they have become omnipotent people, and the military households of spring ploughing also feel the blessing of the new thousand households. The great wheel, which turns and turns, brings the water from the river up to a canal through a wooden trough and finally flows into the dry fields to irrigate the crops.
When Lu Haoshan was designing, he had the idea of killing two birds with one stone, so that it could also hide the value of the big waterwheel.
Lord Qianhu is not only handsome, personable, and talented, no, those women saw Lu Haoshan one by one like bees seeing flowers, and kept secretly sending autumn waves, so that Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan came to deliver fruits, soup, etc., every other day, for fear that Lu Haoshan would accidentally let those women take away
After more than a month of hard work, Lu Haoshan can finally breathe a sigh of relief: the selection work has been completed, after discussion, the battalion formed as a special training is finally called the scout battalion, with a strength of 300 people, it is regarded by Lu Haoshan as the cornerstone, like Li Dingguo, Dashan, Sun Xiong and others have entered the scout camp to receive more rigorous training, they will become a sharp knife in Lu Haoshan's hands, and the soldiers of Wen Chong Qianhu have also expanded to more than 3,000 people, there are more people, Lu Haoshan and Li Nian also separated them according to the characteristics of these soldiers, It is cultivated according to different types of troops, and even the children of the Zhao family who use flying pigeons to transmit news under Zhao Min have also formed a communication team.
In addition, the firearms workshop has been built, and Zhao Yuqing has also sent the craftsmen who have been collected one after another, adding up to eight people, Lu Haoshan has ordered them to first play some farm tools, repair some weapons or something, one can practice their hands, and the other can also hide people's eyes and ears.
Lu Haoshan listed the firearms workshop as a forbidden area, ordinary people could not enter and exit casually, including military households, Lu Haoshan sent the original pickets to guard, which also meant to watch those craftsmen to prevent anyone from escaping and leaking the secrets here.
In fact, Lu Haoshan's worries are a little redundant, the craftsmen sent by the Zhao family are all selected from the homeless people, all of them are hungry like skin and bones, and they are said to be masters, when they see rice and meat, their eyes glow one by one, and they can't wait to lick the bowl clean when they eat, it is like a starving ghost reincarnated, it is estimated that they are hungry, there is food, drink and monthly money here, not to mention escape, even if they can't drive away with a stick, they work hard, Lu Haoshan is generous, they don't play sloppy, and they don't need to supervise when they work, It seems that he is afraid that Lu Haoshan will not be satisfied and drive them away.
There are two main reasons for not starting to build weapons: one is that it takes time to refine good iron, and second, the backbone has not been found, although there are seven or eight craftsmen, plus the craftsmen of the guard, there are more than ten people, but none of them are skilled, and the work is difficult to carry out, and now Lu Haoshan puts his hope on Zhao Gongchang, hoping that he can bring back Xu Xiang, who is proficient in firearms.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Before I knew it, it was February 26, the auspicious day of the zodiac, and it was appropriate to get married, and the wedding of Lu Haoshan and Zhao Min was held on this day.
Although Lin Yuexuan was once the sister of a thousand households, but a thousand households are also a kind of military households, the fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and once she falls, she can see the true face of those relatives, so that when she gets married, she only invites a few relatives who will never leave her, and then most of them are Wen Chong's military households, unlike Zhao Yuqing, who is well-informed, and has friends from all over the world.
Fortunately, the people of the Lin family don't care, and now marrying into the Lu family is in the way of a concubine, and it is not worth celebrating, Lu Haoshan also deliberately low-key, but no matter how low-key it is, it has become the focus, on the day of marriage, they all commanded Han Wendeng to send a pair of jade pendants as a congratulatory gift, and Li Liwei commanded Dong Jian to let the housekeeper send a set of gold jewelry to celebrate, in addition, the remaining four thousand household chiefs of Lizhou Wei, Zhang Yunhui, the commander of Jiangyou County, Cao Hu, the chief bookkeeper of Jiangyou, and the officials of the capital system who knew him at the birthday banquet of Han Wendeng also sent congratulations. It can be said that it has given enough face.
Marrying a beauty, Lu Haoshan is also in a good mood, he is smiling all day long, entertaining VIPs with a smile, witty words, and arrogantly pushing the cup and changing the lamp, drinking it all, he is very busy, fortunately, Li Nian, who has a strong ability, helps take care of it, and it looks neat and orderly.
Just when Lu Haoshan was entertaining guests, Li Nian suddenly appeared at Lu Haoshan's side, leaned down and whispered in Lu Haoshan's ear: "Dong Weng, good news, the east wind is coming." (To be continued......)
