Chapter 63: Rejoicing Too Soon?
Recently, the hottest resource in the barracks is the more than 1,000 wildebeests. How can there be infantry in the team escorting talented women into the palace, and riding skills must be indispensable in the process of escorting the team. Whoever can get more riding training opportunities for his men will definitely be supported by everyone.
Tao Zhe listened to Xiao Ding's description in his tent, and he was almost out of breath with anger. I have been a deputy commander for four years, why is there no one who pats his ass so nakedly?
"Deputy Commander Tao, the reason why Jiang Zhonghuai was able to be designated by Liu Hong as the temporary deputy commander is of course his slogan the loudest. Everything is under the command of the commander, and we will occupy wherever there is money!"
"People are veterans who have been in this position for more than ten years, and it is appropriate to have such an awareness! When you don't have this position, you will feel that everything is normal, but when you really sit in this position, you will find that many things are not under your control. ”
Tao Zhe vented his anger on the sheet he was holding in his hand, and his fingers were almost piercing the sheet: "Tomorrow afternoon in our camp should be riding training, if someone makes a mistake, they will be punished for not being able to do riding training for a month." If you can arrange it, you will definitely get unexpected benefits!"
Of course, Xiao Ding understood what Tao Zhe meant, and without the opportunity to train his horsemanship, he could only watch the sergeants of other battalions compete for the opportunity to participate in the military competition at the end of the month, not to mention the beauty of escorting talented women into the palace.
At that time, the anger of the sergeants of the whole battalion would be directed at Jiang Zhonghuai and Liu Hong behind him.
......................................
Being a commander can be exempted from all kinds of training, and Han Baoding, who is used to getting up early, appeared outside Liu Hong's camp tent before dawn. There is no hot water in the barracks to wash your face and take a bath, should you go to the back kitchen to find some hot water for the commander?
Thinking of this, he quickly disappeared into the morning haze.
When Liu Hong woke up, the sound of various slogans outside shook the sky. When he got up and saw a basin of steaming face wash on the table, he couldn't help but think of the many faces in the Baicaotang, and those guys, although philistine, were the true representatives of human nature.
Hearing the sound of water, Han Baoding opened the curtain and came in, walked quickly to Liu Hong's table and said, "Commander, after you wash your face, just put the towel in the basin, and I will do the rest." ”
"I'm not old enough to wring a towel, do I?
"It's not a big deal. When I had just gone to the stables to help you lead the horse, the groom told me that your horse seemed to be sick and would not eat any fodder. So, I left it there for the groom to heal. "Actually, he was trying to say that you can only walk everywhere today.
Hearing this, the towel in Liu Hong's hand fell into the basin.
When did I get a horse? I rode the horneed horse made of the paper sigil yesterday morning, could it be that my coebeest talisman had been used for 12 hours? That is, I would be freed from the city guard in no time?
Liu Hong just showed an excited expression on his face, and Bao Ye, who hadn't spoken for a long time, poured a basin of cold water on him: "Don't be too happy! Have you calculated the cost of a paper talisman made of fifth-order fierce beast leather?
The leather of an ordinary second-order beast is about 10 taels of gold, the third-order is about 50 taels, the fourth-order will multiply 10 times to 500 taels, and the fifth-order beast skin may not be able to be bought for 5,000 taels.
"A fierce beast leather can make up to 100 paper talismans, and the cost of 50 taels can only be used for one day, and there is really no military gate willing to buy it for his sergeants for training. ”
Although it was an empty joy, it still gave Liu Hong a lot of room for inspiration. There are fierce beasts in the barracks, as long as they learn to make animal skins, they can draw hundreds of wildebeest paper talismans for them every day, and there is no need to compete with other battalions for the training opportunity of wildebeest.
Thinking of this, he smiled again and said to Han Baoding: "My horse doesn't need to be fed or drink. I don't have to go out on errands today, so you can take it out and train yourself on riding. ”
Han Baoding's mouth opened wider and wider, and finally used the action of scratching the back of his head to express his incomprehension and shock.
Liu Hong didn't explain further, patted Han Baoding on the shoulder and said, "You go and inform Jiang Zhonghuai that all the activities of our battalion sergeants in the afternoon have been canceled, and they will gather in the courtyard of the back kitchen after lunch!"
.....................................
It wasn't until after the hour that the guys of Baicaotang finished disposing of the hundreds of fierce beasts they had received last night.
"Zhao Pu, are you that tendon out of order? Seven or eight of us were busy for one night, and we saved a hundred and ten taels of gold for Baicaotang, is it worth it?" Ding Kui's grievances are justified, they are not professionals, and it is really hard to peel off the leather of the fierce beast completely.
Although the blood stains in the courtyard have been washed once, the strong smell of blood still makes people uncomfortable.
What's even more terrifying is the pile of animal meat, which will definitely stink if you don't dispose of it as soon as possible. Zhao Pu could only divide the tired men into two groups, one group went door to door along the street to deliver meat to others, and the other group went with him to the military headquarters to collect animal skins.
Zhao Pu was also afraid that he had done something bad with good intentions, so after the carriage they called arrived, he confessed to Liu Qiaoyundao. "Liu Qiaoyun, if someone comes to sell the beast today, you must not agree immediately. When I arrive at the barracks, I will confirm with Brother Hong again as soon as possible. ”
Liu Hong, who received the notice, came to the gate of the barracks alone, and he watched from a distance as Zhao Pu and Ding Kui jumped out of the carriage first.
Seeing the appearance of Zhao Pu and Ding Kui, Liu Hong's eyes were slightly red, and he almost shed tears of emotion. I haven't been with them for a long time, and I didn't expect that they had only been separated for a day, and these guys kept rubbing their eyes when they saw them, and their eyes were all red.
Actually, we could have arrived here earlier, but last night we bought a lot of fierce beasts, and a few guys and I were busy all night before we took out all the hides. When Zhao Pu spoke, he showed a row of white teeth.
"Brother Hong, look at my eyes are red!" Ding Kui could barely open his eyes as he spoke.
Liu Hong, who was self-inflicted, almost planted a fight, and he was glad that he didn't shed amorous tears just now. After he returned to normal, he seemed to think of something, didn't all the guys in Baicaotang take a holiday? Why did they do such a difficult and unprofitable business as the acquisition of fierce beasts?
After he seriously asked Zhao Pu about the cause and effect of the matter, he didn't make a decision for a long time.
