Chapter 521: Conscription Notice

On the shore of Jiashui, several fishermen docked the fully loaded fishing boats on the shore, but the scene at the pier surprised them, "It's strange, when we come back on weekdays, there are people everywhere here, why are there so many less today?" ”

"Little Er, you still don't know? A notice was posted at the gate of the city, saying that the sailors had expanded their army and specially recruited heroes who were proficient in water. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" A merchant who often came to collect fish blocked the others behind, "I said Xiao Er, sell me all the fish on your boat, and add 10% to the old price." ”

"Phew, the price of fish in the city has risen by half today, and you are embarrassed to open your mouth if you only add 10%?" Someone immediately took a bite at him, "Xiao Er, I have packed all your fish, and I will add thirty percent to you." ”

"I'll talk about selling fish later, are you saying that the little lord has started recruiting troops again?" Yuan Xiaoer grabbed the merchant's arm, "Give me a good talk, whoever says it is good, I will buy the fish to whom." "I think that today's fish price is rising because the fishermen who are fishing have gone to the city to inquire about the news and no one is fishing, but the two brothers of Yuan Xiaoer didn't care about making more money, but took the opportunity to ask about the news.

"It's a notice from the Taiwei Mansion, and it's stamped with the big seal of the little lord." The merchant hurriedly said, for fear of being preempted by others, "This time we want to recruit 3,000 sailors, and the good men of Jiangnan West Road, Huainan Road and Lingnan Road can all apply, and the age must not exceed 30 years old, be healthy, be familiar with water nature, have experience in boat operation is preferred, and be given a general position as soon as you pass the training for reading and writing." ”

When they heard that they were under thirty years old, healthy, familiar with water, and had experience in boating, the eyes of the two brothers became brighter and brighter, but when they heard that they wanted to read and write, they couldn't help laughing, "If they were literate and literate, they would have gone to participate in the scientific examination to become the champion, who would go to the ship to suffer this crime?" Are you fooling us brothers? ”

"It's written in black and white at the gate of the city! Do I dare to falsely pass on the orders of the little lord? The merchant immediately swore an oath, "If that is the case, you will let me plunge into this water and become a king." ”

"Shopkeeper Fang is right, the notice is indeed written like this." It seems that this shopkeeper Fang is usually quite popular, so someone came out to help him speak, "I also saw it when I went out of the city, and there was a sea of people outside, and the men who were begging for a living on the water in all the towns and villages went to see it." ”

"Really? What are the requirements besides these? How much is paid each month? Yuan Xiaoer and the others suddenly became serious, and then a series of questions.

"Two taels of silver per month, if you pass the assessment and training, and finally join the sailor, there will be ten taels of silver for settling-in expenses." This person was quite envious between his words, "I said Xiao Er, the water nature of the three of you brothers is also ranked best in this Jiashui, you might as well try it, maybe you will be able to mix a big general back in a few years, and then it will be beautiful." ”

"Say it's two taels of silver, do you think you can really get it? That general can't be paid? Besides, now that the army is in chaos, what's so good about being a soldier, the swords and guns on the battlefield are not long-sighted, and it is better to live in peace at home. An old man persuaded, "Even if you win the battle, it is not those generals and masters who will be promoted and rich, when will it be your turn to be a little soldier." ”

"It was someone else's army, but now it's a recruit from the little lord." Although the notice was from the imperial court, they seemed to be no different from Li You's recruitment, the Li family's reputation in Jiazhou was good, and someone immediately came out to refute it, "When the little lord first started recruiting for group training the year before last, didn't you persuade others like this?" The result? My distant brother Yang Wu went, not only got two taels of silver every month, but also divided the land for his family, and he was constantly bloody every day in the barracks. After the extermination of the Mixed Yuan Sect, he made great achievements, and he was promoted to the top 100 president, and I heard that he had recently entered the martial arts, and the little lord personally taught them! You may not be able to be a general in the future! ”

"Well said! Even if the battlefield battle is dangerous, it also depends on whose army it is, has our little lord ever lost a battle since he led the army? Whether it is the thieves of the Mixed Yuan Sect, or the Tartars in the north, or the barbarians in the south, they have all been beaten to the ground by our little lord. After that, this person arched his hand to the two brothers of Yuan Xiaoer and said, "Xiao Er, if you become a general in the future, don't forget our past affection." ”

"The little lord is indeed invincible, but it was a battle on the ground, and now he is recruiting a sailor." The old man still refused to admit defeat.

"What about the sailors? Our little lord is a martial artist, invincible on the ground, and invincible in the water! The crowd coaxed, and the old man's voice was gradually drowned out.

"Now the sailor is in charge of the son of Prime Minister Qian, and the Qian family has been in charge of the canal for many years, and the doorway on this water is clear, so there is no need to worry about it." There were clear people who came out to dispel the concerns of the Yuan brothers.

Yang Wu's name Yuan Xiaoer also heard that he was just a homeless at the beginning, and he was so hungry that he couldn't hold it anymore before he went to participate in the regimental training of the little lord, but now he has become an officer, and I heard that he was also changed his name to Yang Wu by the little lord himself, every time he heard someone talk about him, Yuan Xiaoer was envious, he was conceited that he would not lose to Yang Wu, and he was diagnosed with fishing on this Jiashui for a living, and now he was picked up by everyone, so he could bear it, "Where are you recruiting now?" Or is it on the school grounds outside the city? ”

"That's where the foot soldiers are recruited, and the place where the sailors are recruited has long been changed." The merchant still wanted to sell a pass, but when he saw Yuan Xiaoer's wolf-like eyes and the increasing strength on his arm, he immediately swallowed back his words and gave a direct answer, "The place to recruit the sailor is in the sailor camp ten miles downstream, and you can go down the boat for a while." ”

"Okay." Yuan Xiaoer looked back at his two brothers, Yuan Xiaowu and Yuan Xiaoqi nodded again and again, "My brother is going to join the army!" ”

After that, he directly threw the fish on the boat and the fish with the net, "These are all yours, just weigh the money and send it to my house, and our brothers will leave!" ”

After that, the three brothers took up the penny and propped the boat up the shore, and went down the Jiashui, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision after a short time, leaving an envious gaze, "According to the skills of these three people on the water, they will not be able to be reused by the little lord in the future." ”

"Don't rob it! This is what Brother Yuan sold to me, and it has nothing to do with you. And the merchant was happy to protect the large pile of fish, and it seemed that he was going to make a small fortune today. (To be continued.) )
