Chapter 9 A bad old man named Tian Boguang
"Tian Boguang, come here!" Lin Potian shouted loudly.
"Hey, here, here, boss, are you looking for me?" A bad old man who was holding a pig's head and gnawing heard him, and hurriedly limped to Lin Potian, stretched out his hand to wipe his black shiny clothes, and asked with a flattering smile, his big black and yellow teeth were clearly visible.
"I have seen your new owner, and you will be the head coach of the Wang family's group training in the future!" Lin Potian said.
"Father-in-law, this, this is what you said about training talents, big heroes?"
Wang Dalun said in disbelief. Wang Dalun feels like crazy, a fierce general in the army and a rising star is such a lewd bad old man? Shouldn't it be the image of a soldier with a cold face, murderous eyes, and a soldier's iron bones? Returning Tian Boguang, this is too! Wang Dalun felt that Lin Potian was joking with him.
"Team practice? Boss, can I not go? Tian Boguang glanced at Wang Dalun and said.
"Don't take the child's words at ease, he has eyes and doesn't know Taishan! Just do me a favor, okay? Lin Potian said.
"Okay!" Tian Boguang said reluctantly: "But the master, let's say it first, if he doesn't use me, then don't blame me!" ”
"Dalun, don't judge people by their appearance! Apologize quickly! Lin Potian said angrily to Wang Dalun, and then assured Tian Boguang: "Don't worry, I am in charge of this matter, and he will be convinced when he sees your ability in the future!" ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it just now! From now on, you will be my head coach of the regimental training. Wang Dalun said reluctantly.
"Humph! If it weren't for Lin Dangjia's face, I wouldn't be the head of any group training, you think you are a broken group training, what is so rare! Tian Boguang snorted disdainfully.
After a while, he said with a wicked smile on his face: "Aunt Wang, now that you are my new owner, my salary must not be less." Also, I must arrange two good-looking maids to serve me, and I must have wine and meat for dinner every day! ”
Wang Dalun listened to the black lines on his head and was about to get angry, Lin Potian said on the side: "I agreed to all these on his behalf, is the salary?" How about eight taels of silver in a month? ”
"No, you have to get ten taels of silver, I won't do it without it!" Tian Boguang didn't give Lin Potian face at all, and the lion said with a big mouth.
"You might as well grab it! I can buy two rings for ten taels of silver! Wang Dalun said angrily on the side.
"Then let the Yahuan you bought train for you!" Tian Boguang turned his head and left.
"What to go? I promised, and there will be a bounty for doing well in the future! Lin Potian pulled Tian Boguang and said.
"Really?" Tian Boguang stopped and asked.
Wang Dalun was glared at by Lin Potian, and reluctantly confirmed: "Really! ”
"Ha Luha, great, I'm going to pack my things, when will it start?" Tian Boguang showed two big yellow teeth and smiled.
Do you have any luggage? Wang Dalun thought disdainfully, and replied: "From the day after tomorrow!" ”
"Okay, give me twenty taels of silver first, and then send ten people to me, I will prepare things first!" Tian Boguang stretched out his hand and said.
"What are you going to prepare, what are you going to do with so much money?" Wang Dalun asked strangely.
"Settling-in fee, don't you understand?" Tian Boguang asked as a matter of course.
Wang Dalun listened, smiled bitterly, and hurriedly gave him the money, and quickly sent him away, if he didn't leave, Wang Dalun estimated that he was going crazy.
Tian Boguang took the silver, happily returned to his seat and picked up the uneaten pig's head, and walked out of the house while eating.
Lin Potian looked at Tian Boguang's back and said, "Don't you feel like he doesn't look like a soldier?" ”
"Sort of!" Wang Dalun said depressedly, this kind of obscene and boring person is not worthy of the name Tian Boguang at all, although Tian Boguang, who is "lonely for thousands of miles", is a thief, but how bold and chivalrous he is, and this bad old man in front of him, in addition to obscenity, there is only a scoundrel.
"It's all forced by circumstances, when he was a prisoner, if he still insisted on his old ways, then he wouldn't be alive now. As a disabled person, he simply can't survive on the grassland if he doesn't have a slippery point. It's just that I usually put on too much, and it's gradually becoming a habit! Lin Potian explained.
"I just blamed him, it was really not easy for him to survive in that environment." Wang Dalun said guiltily.
"You don't know one thing, he's so greedy for money. But he never had more than a tael of silver on him, and he sent all the money back to the families of his subordinates who had gone on the expedition with him. Several times he wept bitterly at night, blaming himself for killing them! Lin Potian said and silently took a sip of wine.
"Although he doesn't look like a soldier now, in his bones he is still the iron-blooded soldier he was back then! You'll know the truth later! Lin Potian said with a sigh.
"Did he really send all the money to his subordinates? Don't they have a pension? Wang Dalun asked curiously.
"Everything in the Ming Dynasty has to be discounted, and even the horse material in the army has to be discounted, not to mention that the pension of the deceased, from the household department to the military department, and then to the family of the deceased, has long been plucked and plucked!" Lin Potian said angrily.
"Then he alone takes on the responsibilities of the imperial court and supports so many families by himself?" Wang Dalun was surprised.
"Well, though he never said that. He earned at least fifty taels of silver a year in the ranks, and the others got a share of the money, either gambling or visiting the kilns and buying women. But he rarely participated, and as soon as he had money, he asked someone to send him back to the mainland, and the address was completely different. ”
"Could that be the one where his relatives live, and he sent it to his relatives?" Wang Dalun proposed a possibility.
"At first, we thought so, but last year his children came to him, and we found out that he had sent the money back. Three hundred families, except for those who don't know the address of the road, he funded them for five whole years! Lin Potian said admiringly.
"Then he didn't send some back home?" Wang Dalun felt incredible.
"He never told us about the situation in his family, and we didn't ask, because we were all swarmed of people, and they all went out after they couldn't get along, and there was a history in the past, but it was the rule of our team to ask about the past." Lin Potian explained.
"Oh!" Wang Dalun said in disappointment, he is now gossipy.
But although he didn't say it, his subordinate son Shi Qing once said that he used to be the general, and Lao Tzu was still Grandpa Qi's personal soldier. I heard that his family is still good, and he is still strong in the local area. Lin Potian explained.
"Oh, no wonder he didn't send money back."
"No, he didn't contact his family at all." Lin Potian corrected.
"For what?" Wang Dalun was curious.
"I don't know how to do it, I guess he has a hard time."
"By the way, I wanted to talk about you just now, you kid, aren't you a little disdainful? I'm telling you, you've found a treasure! If it weren't for his physical failure, do you think I would be willing to give him to you? Lin Potian glared at Wang Dalun and said.
"Hehe, how can there be! It's not like I didn't react. Wang Dalun sneered, now he has a good impression of Tian Boguang, and the matter of funding the relatives of his subordinates alone is worthy of admiration.
"Don't look at him like this, but he is a good hand in the team, this old guy has been in the army before, and later in the Houjin and the Mongols, and he knows quite well the methods and tactics of the three sides. He is indispensable for every time we make plans, and he is responsible for the training of the team. ”
Lin Potian said proudly, and looked at Wang Dalun, showing that you don't know the goods.
"Oh, fortunately I had my father-in-law to help, otherwise I would have almost missed this talent." Wang Dalun said a little scared. That's a pretty awesome talent.
"Of course, let me tell you, the average member of the team earns a maximum of thirty taels of silver a year, but why can he, a bad old man, receive fifty taels? Because he is worth this money, you ask Sun Liu, who is not convinced? Lin Potian asked.
Oh, it turns out that people are originally high-paid people. Wang Dalun only now understands why Lin Potian agreed to a monthly salary of ten taels.
"Boy, treat this old guy better in the future, if you use his words well, he will bring you a big surprise. If you don't treat him well and he wants to leave, then don't blame me for digging into your corner, the old guy is old, but he is very sought-after. Lin Potian concluded.
"Don't worry, I will treat him well in the future!" Wang Dalun assured.
"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I have to explain a few words about my baby daughter before I go." Lin Potian said uneasily.
"Father-in-law, please speak!" Wang Dalun said respectfully.
"Don't be so restrained, I'm a Jianghu person, I'm very annoyed by these red tapes, relax, feel free." Lin Potian said impatiently.
"Well, what does my father-in-law have to say?" Wang Dalun straightened up and asked.
"You may have heard Wu Liang say, Xiaoqing, I'm sorry for her! She has no mother since she was a child, and she followed me to be hungry for a meal, not to mention a full meal, and such a small person followed me to live a life of licking blood from the knife edge. I'm ashamed of my father! ”
As he spoke, the corners of Lin Potian's eyes moistened as he only bled and did not shed tears.
"Father-in-law, it's not your fault, you, as a father, have done what you can!" Wang Dalun hurriedly comforted.
"Xiaojing is now married, and I am very grateful! Although she is a concubine, I can see that she is very happy! I haven't seen her for so long, I'm a little afraid to recognize her, how to say, she is becoming more and more like her mother, and she is starting to be feminine! ”
A happy smile appeared on Lin Potian's face, especially when talking about Lin Xiaoqing's deceased mother, Lin Potian looked happy and gentle.
"So Dalun, I handed over my sweetheart baby to you, you have to promise me that you must treat her well and make her happy every day. If Xiaojing is sometimes willful, please be more tolerant in my face! Lin Potian said solemnly.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiaoqing well, even if I am wronged, I will not let her be wronged, let her be happy every day!" Wang Dalun assured.
"Yes! Good! Lin Potian patted Wang Dalun on the shoulder, ignoring Wang Dalun, who was patted with bared teeth, and said happily: "You work hard, and strive to let me hold my grandson next year!" ”
