Chapter 35: Joining the Army?
Ignoring the greedy old man who had earned two hundred taels of silver from himself just now, Zhou Tai left the train station after sorting out the stack of newspapers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a result, as soon as I looked up, I found a huge sign. The sign reads, Welcome a certain brother Zhou Tai. Under the sign, there is a carriage and a ranger.
"What is this?"
"But Zhou Youping, a native of Jiujiang, used to run on the water to live?" As he spoke, the ranger also took out a sketch and compared it.
"It's me."
"That's right, I was sent by Boss Jiang to greet me. Let's talk as we go, shall we? If you're quick, you might be able to make it to dinner. ”
"Uh, okay."
Along the way, Zhou Tai kept asking the young ranger about Jiangdong, about Wu Guo, about Wu Guogong, and about Jiang Qin.
In the end, I can only sigh that my life over the years has been in vain. Living on the water village, except for occasionally going out to do business, it is almost isolated from the world!
It turns out that inadvertently, the world has changed so much! It's so big that I don't even know it!
Walk and walk, and there you are. At this time, Jiang Qinquan was standing at the door, followed by a little brother, waiting.
"Haha, Youping, you can be regarded as coming, coming, coming, coming in and drinking."
Seeing Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin was very excited, and strode over directly, hugged him fiercely, and slapped him a few times. Then, they dragged him in.
Zhou Taiyi was careless, and he was almost pulled. But fortunately, his cultivation was placed here, and he quickly adjusted.
But even so, it was difficult to hide the surprise in his heart. When the two separated, Jiang Qin's cultivation was not as good as his own, right?
But now, relying on the resources of the water village, he is only in the middle of the third order, and he only broke through with the help of the aura tide a few days ago. But at this time, Jiang Qin was even stronger than himself, this is really, I really don't know what to say.
Originally, Zhou Tai was not good at talking, and he didn't know how to speak, so he kept drinking and drinking. After a while, he was very drunk.
"Gongyi, your changes over the years are really big!"
"Hey, it's all thanks to Wu Guogong! In the past, I, the leader of the right rangers, actually lived like that. ”
"I don't get much money every month. You have to go up and down, and it's just a little money to work hard every day! At that time, let alone improving strength, even if it was used for cultivation, it was not enough! However, since Wu Guogong came over, everything has changed. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Almost every day, Wu Guogong would issue a variety of huge and meritorious tasks. There is even a squire of the Ministry of Officials, who is specifically responsible for this matter. ”
"For example, the original Shanyue Ordinance, also known as the Slave Hunting Ordinance, roughly meant to encourage rangers to go to the forest and capture the Yamayue people."
"Every adult Shanyue person is worth ten taels of silver. An adult Shanyue woman is worth fifteen taels of silver. As for the old man and the young children, it was five taels of silver. With this decree alone, I earned my first pot of gold. ”
"At that time, I took dozens of like-minded friends to the Ministry of Industry and bought a lot of special weapons for the military. Then, dozens of people hunted those small tribes together. ”
"Those small tribes have a population of only a few hundred, and the number of masters is very small. The strongest is just an innate cultivator. Moreover, there is no good inheritance, it is really extremely average! ”
"However, over the past 100 years, a lot of resources have been accumulated. Including gold mines, silver mines, etc. Often a small tribe of hundreds of people, up and down, can harvest more than 10,000 taels of silver! Sometimes, with a bit of luck, you can find small-scale gold, silver, and copper mines! ”
"According to the rules of the State of Wu, once these discovered minerals are reported to the government, they can enjoy a permanent benefit! Like now, I have three small gold mines, a medium-sized silver mine, and a medium-sized copper mine. ”
"With these minerals alone, my annual income has reached 100,000 taels of silver! In addition, I also have a large slave catching team in my hands, and I can easily earn 300,000 taels of silver a year, so it's not a problem! ”
Listening to Jiang Qin's words, Zhou Tai also nodded repeatedly, thirty thousand taels of silver in one Chinese New Year's Eve, so much silver, strength progress, it can be understood.
I am in Shuizhai there, and I do business without capital every year, even if it is the best year of business, it is only 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver, and that's it, the brothers up and down can get 30,000 taels, which is good.
"This, are there any restrictions on these tasks of Wu Guogong?" Zhou Tai said directly.
"Nope."
"Then do you think it's okay for me to be a brother?"
"Of course you can, but I don't recommend you to do that. Because, now there is a better opportunity! A chance to be knighted, a chance to get ahead! ”
"What chances? Is it to join the army? But if you join the army, aren't you afraid of being sold? ”
"Don't be afraid, because this time the general is me!"
"What? Gongyi, you're not drunk, are you? How can such an important position be given to you as the head of an army? Watch out for traps! Zhou Tai hurriedly said.
He now strongly suspects that his little brother has been cheated by the imperial court! Since ancient times, how many rangers have really achieved high positions? Isn't Mo secretly calculated by the villain?
Seeing this, Jiang Qin also laughed. After so many years, it is still the old brother who cares about himself the most. However, this time it was really not a government deception.
"That's right, Wu Guogong said that since ancient times, there have been many heroes in the recklessness. However, these heroes are not suitable for the strict military law in the army, and they can't stand the constraints of various laws after becoming officials. Therefore, the statement of group training was deliberately proposed. ”
"That is, after Wu Guo contributes, depending on the size of the contribution, he can set up his own group training, which is actually a private army! According to the scale, it is divided into a team of ten people and a small team of thirty people. In addition, there are 100-person group training, 500-person group training, 1,000-person group training, and 3,000-person group training. ”
"Of course, since the beginning of the 100-person group training, Wu Guo will send officials to the group training, one is to promote righteousness, and the other is to effectively record the merits. Third, it is for the purpose of better training regimental training and imparting correct training methods. ”
"Like now, I have a team of 1,000 people, all of whom are very reliable old brothers who are born and die. When the time comes, after going to the battlefield, I will also be under my own command. It can be said that, to the greatest extent, the fate of cannon fodder and death was avoided. ”
"Youping, why don't you join in?"
"This, okay!"
