Chapter 103: Support
"Well, Chengguo is here? Haha, you're interesting, there's still a war there, and you're still out to do business. β
Jin Shuke looked at the other party's paperwork and asked with some surprise.
"Look at what the military master said, don't eat if you fight, don't do business?"
The leader of the caravan quietly sent a small bag of silver over.
Alchemy avoided it, and instead of taking the silver, he said:
"That's what you often say, don't want your life if you want money?"
"Of course, life is precious, but if you don't have money, you can't live this life."
Jin Shuke nodded and said, "It makes sense, let's go in, and then count and register." β
"Yo, thank you Jun Ye, please accept these little meanings and give tea to the brothers."
"Put it away, or you'll be convicted of bribery."
"Don't you dare, you don't dare."
The leader of the caravan immediately put away the silver and bowed a few more times before signaling his party to enter the city.
On the side of the city gate card, big oil and water can't be obtained, but small oil and water are often available, but because now under the "heavy ceremony" here in Shengle City, no one dares to stretch out this hand.
For this little bit of silver, I will lose my future and life for myself, which is not worth it.
Alchem waved his hand for one of his men to come over and whispered to him:
"Go and inform the third master's subordinates, and say that a caravan from Chengguo has entered the city."
"Yes."
After finishing the order, Jin Shuke stretched his waist and walked to Yu Huaping's side.
Sheng Lejun pays attention to the posture of standing in the army, and the picture is that General Zheng looks good when he inspects the troops.
Every month, all departments will gather to walk through the exercises, and evaluate the top three and the last three.
Therefore, many generals have extremely high requirements for the standing posture of their subordinates when they are on duty on weekdays, and even more, they will gather their subordinates to practice correct steps or something after they are on duty.
This point has significantly improved the "appearance of the city" of Shengle City.
Of course, standing in a military posture is really not difficult for Yu Huaping, he can stand in one posture from morning to night.
Alchemic took out a small bottle, poured out a little wind oil essence from it, put it on his fingertips, and rubbed it under his nose.
This is a commodity that has just come out of the workshop in the west of the cityβββ wind oil essence.
The refreshing effect is good, so I bought some for my own use.
Looking at the Chengguo caravan that was entering the city, Jin Shuke whispered: "Here, maybe there are spies from over there." β
Yu Huaping turned his face sideways and looked at Jin Shuke.
"I've already notified the other side." Alchemy can continue.
Yu Huaping nodded.
In the past few months, Yu Huaping has been conscientiously working as a city guard, a generation of sword saints, and he can really endure loneliness.
Even, even General Zheng, who hated the East Gate seven or eight times a day at the beginning, has gradually lost his freshness and no longer comes, but Jin Shuke has always been very attentive to this "subordinate".
seems to have decided that this person is not ordinary, and many times he will tell him some of his experiences, what is the purpose of what he does, and he will also share it with him.
Therefore, in this world, there are really some people who deserve to come out, and not everyone can have this kind of vision.
"Let's go for a drink after we get off duty?" Alchem asked.
Yu Huaping shook his head and said, "No, you guys go." β
Jin Shu didn't get angry at all, in fact, he was used to this kind of rejection, except for the time when his wife gave birth, Yu Huaping hadn't been to the other brothers' gatherings since then.
"Okay." Jin Shuke reached out and patted Yu Huaping's shoulder, imitating the expression of his original master, Zheng Fan, when he patted him on the shoulder.
After the lower value,
Yu Huaping put away his knife and began to walk back.
Walking on the road, he saw his apprentice waiting for him at the street intersection on time every day.
The little sword boy carried a wooden sword at his waist and stood straight.
Yu Huaping walked over, and she naturally followed.
The master and apprentice walked into a small alley in the city, a small courtyard that looked a little dilapidated, but it was clean.
Juggernaut came in and picked up the bucket and turned away,
The little sword boy took out a handful of candied fruit from his bosom and teased the little boy who ran out of the house.
The master and apprentice seem to have become accustomed to this division of labor, and they both blend in naturally.
Juggernaut lifted water back and forth twice, filling the tank.
The little boy ate the candied fruit a little and touched his little belly.
An old woman watched this scene happily, and when the Sword Master came back, she enthusiastically pulled the Sword Master over, measured the shoe board for him, and said that she would make him two pairs of cloth shoes.
"You soldiers, the boots you wear are good, but your feet are stuffy, those feet are smelly, and the shoes of the old woman and me are good, and you can wear them loosely."
Hearing this, the Sword Saint nodded, and said:
"That's it."
When it was getting late, the woman who had come down from the perfume shop returned home.
At this time, the Sword Master and the little sword boy were preparing to go out.
The woman pursed her lips and shouted:
"I'll go cook, let's eat together in the evening."
The Sword Master waved his hand and said, "Next time, next time." β
Speaking of which,
Left this home with the little sword boy.
Returning to the post station's residence, the post station steward brought two bowls of noodles.
The Sword Saint and the little sword boy each had a bowl of noodles, and the master and apprentice both ate very unimpressively.
"Master, why don't you stay there for dinner?"
"It's not time yet." Juggernaut replied.
According to the rules of Jindi, between men and women, if neither party has a spouse, then sitting at a table and having a meal is considered to be a partner.
The woman had spoken, but the Juggernaut had never answered.
"Is the master shy?" Xiao Jiantong asked.
Juggernaut hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I think that master is not bad, she is a down-to-earth person." The little sword boy said.
"How old are you to look at people?"
"Master, I can see what some people are thinking, and you don't know it."
The Sword Master suddenly lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.
The master and apprentice ate and ate,
The little sword boy began to practice swords,
The Sword Master took Long Yuan and began to carve.
He wanted to make a rattle and give it to the boy who was named "Tiantian" by Zheng Fan himself, and who had urinated in his arms six times.
He also wanted to make a small wooden sword and give it to her son, named Liu Dahu.
When the world's famous Sword Dragon Yuan was in the hands of the Sword Saint, it was used to make toys for children at this time, and I don't know if the sword maker of the Chu State would vomit blood in anger if he knew.
The blind man once came to ask himself, should this city guard continue to be a pawn?
If you want to continue to be in the job, then continue to be in the job, and at the same time ask if you want to be promoted, if you don't want to be in the job, then everyone will discuss other arrangements, even if you want to leave, you have to have a farewell banquet.
But he decided to continue to be the one, and continued to change his sword into a knife every morning and go to the city gate to watch the crowds come in and out.
The Sword Saint himself didn't expect that this city guard could be a city guard for so long.
What he didn't expect was that
The ceiling realm that he had been stagnant for a long time seemed to have already touched, and there were signs of loosening.
The Sword Master remembered that the blind man had answered a question about himself, that is, what kind of qi was his sword, and the blind man said that it was the qi of the earth.
Carved and carved,
The corners of the Sword Master's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
The little sword boy who was practicing the sword keenly captured this detail,
But he didn't stop practicing his sword,
Just snorted disdainfully in my heart:
"Oh, man."
β¦β¦β¦
"Where's the Pioneer?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Lord, he's waiting in the antechamber."
"Huh."
Zheng Fan smiled and threw the military order from the Great Prince in his hand on the table.
Several demon kings all put down their original work and gathered in the mansion for a meeting, because the army of the great prince has come to the border and is about to enter the kingdom.
Xue San opened his mouth and said: "Lord, this great prince is so majestic, he wants 10,000 people when he opens his mouth, and we want to be responsible for the supply and transportation of grain and grass for his army on the left, what the hell is this." β
Ah Ming nodded and said, "He treats himself as Tian Wujing." β
Tian Wujing entered the snowfield, Shengle City was responsible for raising and arranging grain and grass supplies, and did a good job in logistics support, of course, in the distribution of profits after the war, Shengle City also made a fortune.
The eldest prince obviously valued Sheng Lecheng's ability to be a "logistics soldier".
Zheng Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and didn't hurry to speak.
Siniang said: "Our Shengle is still in a huge loss, thanks to our thick foundation, we can afford to lose for the time being, if this is simply to support the supply of materials for a large army, this is really a loss-making deal, even if the lord's official rank is turned around after the war, then what's the point?" β
Only supplies of materials, grain and grass, this will definitely have nothing to do with you in the distribution of future results, after all, you didn't really send troops to participate in the war.
Liang Cheng said:
"This is a big wrong, you can't be a big one,"
Zheng Fan asked at this time: "How did Chen Yang deal with it?" β
Chen Yang was the chief military officer of Xinsu City, commanding 10,000 Jingnan troops.
The blind man replied: "Lord, Chen Yang can't hold out there, and the eldest prince's headquarters did not come forward to greet him when he crossed the border. β
Tian Wujing didn't speak, who dared to greet the Jingnan army.
Of course, you can also say hello, which means that you jump out of the Jingnan military system and jump into the arms of the eldest prince to ask for a hug, it's up to you to choose.
It's just that from Zheng Fan's point of view,
He left Tian Wujing and threw himself into the arms of the eldest prince before he left Tian Wujing and became a licking dog again.
Rentian Wujing's son is still raised in his own home.
"Tell the pioneer officer, just say that we are happy and poor, and we have been unable to make ends meet for a long time, and we really have no spare strength to support the army."
Can't make ends meet, that's for sure, because the Yan army of Jindi, Quhe City, Litian City, which was the base camp of the Helian family at the beginning, is okay, densely populated and economically and economically developed, while the Yan defenders in the rest of the country, the imperial court only pays half of the salary, and the remaining half is raised by themselves.
This can be regarded as an unspoken rule, and the court also knows that you have the ability to get money and food, and life will not be too bad, which is the same as the reason why some yamen in later generations still have countless people who want to get in.
Zheng Fan said again:
"In addition, make a bill of the military salaries, grain, grass, etc. that the court owes us in the past almost a year, and send someone to the eldest prince, begging the eldest prince for mercy, saying that our life is really too poor to live, and I hope the eldest prince will support."
