Chapter Eighty-Five: Padang Fathers
Baili Wuji, who was busy and idle, planned to visit the doctors and nurses of the Black Flag Army who had been silently dedicating.
By the way, take a look at Lu Shiyun's master and servant.
Of course, the main thing is to look at Lu Shiyun.
Bailiren is also going, because he feels that he has not communicated with Xiaocui for a long time.
Baili Wuji and the two have the same goal, so they naturally come together.
Xu Shiming is inconvenient to stop.
Because he could not stop the envoy from inspecting the military medical department, which had made great contributions in this war.
Although there are many urgent official duties in hand, Baili Wuji needs to sign and draw.
But life often doesn't go as planned.
The yacha came to report, and more than a dozen squires from Badong County came to ask to see the envoy of Baili.
Baili Wuji had palpitations when he heard it.
These dozen or so people are not ordinary people, they are gray-haired people.
It is also a group of gray-haired old people who like to kneel at every turn.
Baili Wuji said: "Then who ...... Why don't you go and get a reception? ”
Looking back, Bailiren and Xu Shiming have already been scattered.
Come to the door of the government office.
Baili Wuji enthusiastically welcomed more than a dozen Padang elders into the mansion. At a glance, Zhu Jiang and the others were also mixed in.
Toast tea.
He asked respectfully, "Fellow villagers, I don't know what is important?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw more than a dozen people standing up at the same time, trembling and kneeling.
Whatever you're afraid of, you'll come.
Baili Wuji helped this but couldn't support that.
In desperation, Baili Wuji could only avoid it and said: "Elders, please get up and speak, although there is something to say, if you can do it, it will be incumbent." ”
Among the more than a dozen people, an old man with the whitest beard stood up: "Envoy of Baili, you will exempt Badong from paying taxes for two years, exempt the families of the dead from paying taxes for five years, and build tombs and monuments for the two thousand dead." The people of such a great Enbadong are deeply remembered in the five, and this time let the old decay and other representatives come to thank the envoy. ”
Baili Wuji said: "Elders, my words are serious, I led 5,000 Badong disciples to go on the expedition, and I lost 2,000. I felt guilty in my heart, and I had no shame to go back to face the people of Padang, how could I work for such a trivial matter to work the elders who came from afar. ”
The old man shook his hand again and again and said: "Don't let you talk like this, the children of Padang died well, although the people grieve the death of their relatives, but they will also be proud of these babies in their hearts, these babies are bloody, and now they don't give a thumbs up and praise a good man." ”
As he spoke, the old men present shed tears.
Two thousand young people, nine days, said that it is gone, it is gone, you can imagine the scene of the white flags fluttering in the whole county in Padang these days.
"Baili envoy, I heard a few days ago that you are recruiting young people again?"
"Yes."
"The people of Padang asked the old man to ask the envoy, do you still accept Badong baby? As soon as those children in Padang heard that the envoy was recruiting, they all thought of the law and ran to our house, and asked the old man to come and tell the envoy to accept them. ”
Baili Wuji was shocked, what is this for?
Do the people of Padang still think that not enough people have died in Padang?
A small Padang county, after recruiting 3,000 young people, how can it recruit soldiers again.
Baili Wuji knows the way, poor people, if it is not a hard life, most of them come for a fairly generous military salary, although there are also to seek a future, but the price of these is life. Now that they are exempt from paying taxes for a few years, coupled with the abundance of sweet potatoes, they can live a full life in the future.
Baili Wuji hurriedly refused: "Don't be old-in-law, Badong County is sparsely populated, and more than 3,000 people have just been recruited, how can you recruit again." ”
The old man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "The old man and others also understand this principle, but the people refuse, they are determined to follow the king to make meritorious deeds, and they can't stop it." ”
"This please absolutely can't do it, I can't do it." Baili Wuji categorically refused.
"I also ask you elders to go back and tell the people of Padang that if there are still young people willing to come to serve in the army somewhere in three years, I will definitely accept them, but the number is only 500."
Baili Wuji didn't want to hurt the hearts of the people of Padang, so he left a promise with a time limit and a maximum number of personnel.
More than a dozen old men left, escorted by Baili Wuji's personnel.
They were very relieved and glad that Baili Wuji did not continue to recruit young people from Padang and knew how to let the people recuperate; I am glad that Baili Wuji left a promise to Padang, which gave Padang's children a way out from now on.
Baili Wuji had already instructed Xu Shiming to arrange the bereavement benefits.
He also made a special account of spilling thirty jars of drunken immortal wine in front of the graves of those fallen soldiers.
This is his promise to those soldiers.
It's a promise, and it has to be kept.
Another taboo of Mowgli is - not believing in words.
Since ancient times.
The people are always easily satisfied.
As long as they receive a little favor, they always think about how to reciprocate.
As long as they can eat enough, they will not complain even if Zhumen's wine and meat stink.
But they always don't have enough to eat.
……。
Zhu Jiang and the others did not leave with the old men.
They have something to say.
"Hundred miles envoy, someone has something to ask for." It was Jiang Jiliang who opened his mouth first.
"Speak."
"I am here to thank you for receiving the dividends sent by the envoy."
"You don't have to be polite, you just have to say something."
"Don't blame you, that's the case, I heard that the envoy is going to build a new armory workshop in Chungju, and the two of them thought about it again and again, and decided to give the five thousand taels of dividends sent by the envoy and the twenty thousand taels of the same class, a total of 25,000 taels and then 40 percent of the shares?"
Baili Wuji was a little crying and laughing.
These two people have completely different personalities, but how similar the faces of the businessmen are.
It is estimated that I heard the news that Shu wants to buy firearms.
It's not profitable, and it's too early.
Zhu Jiang and the others saw that Baili Wuji was silent, thinking that Baili Wuji would not agree.
Jiang Jiliang hurriedly said: "Don't embarrass you, if forty percent is not good, three percent is fine." ”
Baili Wuji said: "I promised you, just count it as forty percent, and talk to the secretary in detail." ”
Zhu Jiang and the others left with great gratitude.
Baili Wuji didn't expect that after a few years, there would be two more arms dealers on the land of the Central Plains - officials and businessmen.
……。
Xu Shiming is very capable.
After Baili Wuji's command.
In half a month, a new medical office was established in Chungju.
A bigger and better medical department.
The second batch of medical workers and nurses began training.
Lu Shiyun and Xiaocui are very busy.
Busy willingly, happy.
Knowing the arrival of Baili Wuji, the medical workers and doctors rushed to come.
In their hearts, Baili Wuji is God.
Able to turn decay into a miraculous god.
They think that without a hundred cities and no mowgli, perhaps they will not be as respected in this life as they are now.
In the military, medical workers are respected.
Because I don't know when, they will save your life.
Baili Wuji cordially met with them, rewarded them, and praised them with words of praise.
At this time, Baili Wuji saw a group of people who seemed to be familiar.
