Chapter 207: Money and Food Are in Trouble Again?
In the Juyi Hall, I saw a big black man standing on the avenue between the two rows of vertical chairs, proudly showing the military flag between the two rough hands to the group of heroes, only to see the word "trapped" tattooed on it. Bao Xu, Xiang Chong and Li Gon stood next to Li Kui, all grinning and laughing. And Fan Rui, the demon king of the mixed world, was pulled aside by Wang Lun, listening attentively to what he said, and nodding his head from time to time in agreement.
"I said, black guy, do you know these two words? So proud! He couldn't get used to Li Kui's face, so he shouted.
"Didn't my brother say it's called 'trapped'! This is the name used by famous generals in ancient times, and you don't understand black charcoal! Ha Luha, today I am finally ...... It's ......" Li Kui shook his head, wanting to drag a word out to express his eagerness at this time.
"Throwing ...... Head show! Bao Xu reminded in a whisper with some uncertainty.
"Yes, yes...... I finally made a show up! "Li Kui doesn't care about so much, just use it when you take it.
In fact, he didn't understand the meaning of this word, but he just felt that Li Kui's face was full of confidence and seemed to be very powerful, and he couldn't help but turn around and ask Yuan Lang, after getting the answer, he suddenly saw that his stomach hurt with laughter, and he gave Li Kui a thumbs up at the moment and said: "You can do it, black guy, since you have shown up, it seems that I can't be convinced!" ”
Seeing that Li Kui said this, Li Kui was even more proud, and handed over the military flag to Bao Xu, Xiang Chong and Li Gon like a treasure, these four people each held a corner of the military flag, and Zou who went back and forth in this hall saw that they were all smiling on their faces, sharing this glory and happiness very much.
Unlike the extremely high-profile Li Kui, Lin Chong carefully accepted the military flag tattooed with the word "rock", and his best friend Lu Zhishen stood beside him, and did not speak, just watched Lin Chong's movements with a smile.
As low-key as Lin Chong, there is also the divine doctor An Daoquan, who saw that he was just about to put away the military flag. I didn't want Mu Jie to stretch out his hand and ask for the military flag, looking at the word "return to heaven" on it, only to hear Mu Jie sigh: "Medical skills are endless, and manpower can return to heaven!" ”
After seeing An Daoquan's magic skills, he had already looked down on life and death, and put all his life's pursuits on studying medical skills. Fortunately, An Daoquan is a person who does not hide his selfishness, and he answers all questions to Mu Jie, these two people meet together, they really meet late, and they are studying cases all day long. The Jeju Shuangli who followed him was very happy, and he was able to follow these two Xinglin divine medical skills, and he didn't know if it was a blessing that he had cultivated for several lifetimes.
Just when Li Kui's four-member group was displaying the military flag back and forth in the hall, they were not idle at that time, and just when everyone was shocked by Li Kui's wild words and retreated, they suddenly saw that the military flag that Wang Lun awarded to the drum flea was actually hanging under the beam of the Juyi Hall.
Seeing this, Tang Bin couldn't help it, and shouted at Wang Lun: "Brother, be eccentric!" It's just that Lin Jiaotou and An Shen Doctor have it, but Li Kui's guy and Shi Qian also have it. I waited but no! ”
Li Kui saw that he and the three brothers were smiling even more happily, and Shi Qian was also hiding on the side and snickering, obviously finding that Tang Bin was staring at him with wide eyes at this time, and Shi Qian also pretended not to see it. He just wouldn't look at him.
He was reluctant to take the military flag off the roof! You must know that there is the word "Di Ting" written on it! He didn't understand what he meant at first, but after asking Wen Junshi, he was immediately ecstatic! What is this truth? It was heaven and earth, and it was all heard. Omniscient existence! Shi Qian is not a person who is afraid of challenges, he is afraid of obscurity in this life, and at this time he has Wang Lun's ardent expectations. Immediately, he felt that his chest was full of infinite fighting spirit.
Seeing Tang Bin initiating a "complaint", Wang Lunwan smiled, put down Fan Rui, and smiled at everyone: "In fact, I have already prepared the military flag, but when I want to engrave the two words on it, it does not depend on me, but on the hearts and minds of the brothers. ”
As soon as Wang Lun finished speaking, there was a burst of applause in the Juyi Hall, and I saw that the new battalion commanders and generals who did not have a number for the time being secretly swore in their hearts that they would choose this soldier well and bring it well, and they would never let other brothers compare.
After laughing with everyone, Wang Lun beckoned everyone to sit down and discuss the most important matters.
Now the cottage has been set up according to the establishment of the forbidden army (command), and the establishment of the battalion level has the army and the box in turn, but these two formations are not used for the time being. The establishment below the battalion is: capital, a capital has a hundred soldiers, and the commander of the army at this level, the infantry army is called the head of the capital and the deputy head of the capital; The Ma army is called the military envoy and the deputy soldier and horse envoy. In the official system of the Song Dynasty, the deputy head of the capital and the deputy soldier and horse envoy were all from the rank of the ninth grade, which was regarded as the lowest level of officers. Further down, there are the military heads, ten generals, generals and marquis of Yu who belong to the military officials, the bureau and the officials.
After discussing with several military advisors, Wang Lun decided to simplify these five positions, and only three of them were retained at this time, namely: military head (jurisdiction over fifty people, similar to the platoon commander in later generations), ten generals (jurisdiction over ten people, similar to squad leaders in later generations), and detaining officers (different from ordinary non-commissioned officers, reserve candidates for ten generals. Similar to later non-commissioned officers)
At this point, the title of the small boss that has been used in general terms before the cottage will completely bid farewell to the historical stage, and in the next few days, the cottage will be divided according to the qualifications and merits of each small leader.
After discussing the last item, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, and the wine feast had already been prepared, Wang Lun nodded to Song Wan, and saw the seats, benches, and wine and food brought to the Juyi Hall, and Wang Lun instructed Jiao Ting to personally invite the white-haired tiger and horse who were guests in the cottage to the banquet together.
When waiting for others, Wang Lun went out to gather his personal guards to his side, and immediately explained his intentions, planning to ask them to take up positions such as the head of the capital (military envoy) or the deputy head (deputy soldier and horse envoy) in each battalion, and everyone was in tears when they heard this, and they all said that as long as they stayed by Wang Lun's side.
Wang Lun is also sighing in his heart, these brothers have been following themselves for a year since they were outside Xixi Village that day, and they have been following themselves for a year, everyone has been running around with them in these more than 300 days, going to Jiankang, Qiandengzhou, Qingzhou, Huangzhou, Benjiangzhou, where there is their own, where they are, thinking of this section, Wang Lun put his heart sideways, and said straightly: "Each has a good idea of where to go." Come to me after the feast and let me know! ”
At this time, the smiling horse came with a fist, Wang Lun solemnly bowed to his guards, and invited the stunned guests into the hall, Jiao Ting did not immediately follow Wang Lun in, I saw that he also bowed deeply to these dozens of big men, and then wiped his tears and left, and suddenly called the generous man who did not avoid the sword outside to cry.
It is said that the white-haired tiger horse entered the table with his fists in his fists, because he was very close to the heroes on Liangshan, and he was not seen at the moment, and he frequently took the initiative to toast during the banquet. The people he respected the most here, except for Wang Lun, belonged to An Daoquan. Wang Lun felt a little sad at this time, and the movements in his hands seemed a little slow, Lu Zhishen saw this and took over the burden, on behalf of the protagonist and the white-haired tiger to fight for wine, An Daoquan escaped the catastrophe, and looked at Master Lu with gratitude.
During the banquet, Zhang San, a street rat, and Li Si, a grass snake, came to pay tribute to Wang Lun on behalf of the guards, Wang Lun drank the wine and asked Zhang San and Li Si to stay. But seeing that these two people were dead, they didn't want to leave, as long as they stayed by Wang Lun's side, Wang Lun saw that their eyes were red, obviously moved by his true feelings. immediately made a decision and left them in Jiao Ting and Lu Fang's newly built battalion as adjutant generals.
When the two of them saw this, they cried and laughed, and they wanted to toast to Wang Lun. When he was drinking, he saw that the guards were all with tears in their eyes, and they came in with a wine bowl to toast Wang Lun. When Wang Lun saw these familiar faces, he was arrogant, and he slapped a jar of old wine, and everyone who came drank a big sip together, and the comer did not refuse, and he didn't know how many sips he drank, only to feel that the world was spinning for a while, and Wang Lun ushered in his first drunkenness after crossing.
Lin Chong saw that Wang Lun was drunk, so he took the wine jar from Wang Lun's hand, and bumped the cup with the remaining guards who had never toasted with Wang Lun instead of Wang Lun. Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and then they all cried and laughed and toasted with Lin Chong.
In this wine, Wang Lun was not the only one who was drunk.
After the worst, Li Kui drank too much, Bao Xu also drank too much, the two hugged their heads and cried, Li Kui cried and shouted that Wang Lun didn't want him anymore, but Bao Xu cried that he had no brothers, and it was so difficult to be alone in the mountains. But when I heard the two ghosts crying wolf, it was not sad.
Yang Zhi was also drunk, at first he just drank quietly, but after the end, he didn't know what stimulation he had, and began to cry, and he also learned from Li Kui to shout loudly, only saying that the court didn't want him anymore, and asked the master not to blame him.
At this time, Jiao Ting was helping Wang Lun, who still had a trace of residual consciousness, to retreat first, and when he heard Yang Zhi's miserable wail, Wang Lun opened his drunken eyes to see him, but what caught his eye was two lines of turbid tears in the corners of the eyes of Wang Jin, the head of the former 800,000 forbidden army.
……
I don't know how long I slept this night, anyway, when Wang Lun woke up, it was already dark. Seeing this, he asked Jiao Ting to go to the room and come back to eat something, Jiao Ting went out in response, I don't think it didn't take long for Du Qian and Jiang Jing to come together, seeing that Wang Lun had woken up, Du Qian stepped forward and poured three cups of hot tea, handed them to the three of them, and smiled and talked to Wang Lun for a long time, then looked at Jiang Jing and said: "Brother, this time I really helped the younger brother!" I have accumulated years of old accounts there, and in only two hours, I asked the Jiang Jing brothers to sort them out! You must know that Lu Dao is like this, if I don't work for my brother to go to Jiangzhou, I went to invite Brother Jiang Jing to come over and join the gang! ”
Jiang Jing's face was slightly red when he heard this, and he was busy giving up. Wang Lun slept all afternoon, rested early enough, and his mind was clear enough at this time, and he hadn't touched the accounts for several months, so he asked the two money and grain leaders in front of him about the family background of the cottage. Jiang Jing saw that he looked at Du Qian, but Du Qian smiled and asked him to speak, Jiang Jing and Wang Lun were also familiar with each other, so they saw that he was not twisting at the moment, and said straightly: "At present, there are 237,640 gold, silver, and copper coins in stock, and there are still 183,000 stones of grain in stock!" ”
"That's all there is left?" Although Wang Lun was not surprised when he heard this, he was also a little surprised.
Jiang Jing nodded and said, "The money and food brought by the four cottages are also included!" ”
Wang Lun saw that he looked straight at Du Qian, but he heard Du Qian sigh and explain:
"Originally, some time ago, the inventory of gold and silver was relatively abundant, but the brigade of men and horses was active outside for nearly half a year, which accounted for the majority, and said that the current cottage people have exceeded 50,000, including more than 30,000 soldiers, plus more than 6,000 military horses and thousands of large livestock forage expenses, the monthly consumption is close to 60,000 stone grain. My brother knew that I was here to do the right thing for the sky, and told the wicked people in the thirteen counties of the two nearby states to change their ways, not only did the rent be one percent lower than the market price, but now they didn't dare to oppress the people. Now it has been three months since the end of the New Year, and the cottage has only gone down the mountain eight times in total, with an average of less than three times a month. In addition, the object of borrowing grain cannot be all a century-old rich man who has 3,000 acres of land at home like Baozheng in Xixi Village that day, and most of the time it is very good to have more than 10,000 yuan of money and grain! Brother, if you go down like this, you will have to sit and eat nothing, so it is better to go and beat him in one or two state cities, so that you can have a year and a half of money and food to spend! ”
Wang Lun groaned for a while, and Du Qian and Jiang Jing saw that the owner of the village was deep in thought, and they didn't bother with anything, but just picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly.
At this moment, I heard a "squeak", the door was pushed open from the outside, and it turned out that Jiao Ting came back with food, but saw seven strong men standing behind him. When Wang Lun looked up, he found that the two people next to Jiao Ting were Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang and Tiedi Immortal Ma Lin, and behind the two of them stood five big men. When these five people saw Wang Lun looking, one of them was a black and thin man with a smile on his face, and the other was staring at Wang Lun up and down intently, and the remaining three people didn't know why, their faces were full of embarrassment. (To be continued......)
