Chapter Seventy-Four: See Lord Captain

Meng Xuan was originally very angry about Qin Zhen's decision to sell horses, but when he heard Qin Zhen's helpless explanation, Meng Xuan was silent, and in the past few days, Meng Xuan only saw Qin Zhen's composure and calmness in front of people, but now he saw Qin Zhen's difficulties behind people.

The people below can find him if they have a problem, and they can find Qin Zhen if they have a problem, but who should they turn to if Qin Zhen has a problem? Now no one can find it, so I can only find a way to solve it myself.

After becoming a family, he realized that firewood and rice were expensive, and Meng Xuan was now considered the head of Tong'an Town, and he also felt the difficulty of being a family.

"Why don't you go to Guo Duwei, even if these war horses are to be sold, it is best to sell them to Guo Duwei, and we can buy them back when we have money later." Meng Xuan gave his advice.

"The situation in Weizhou City is actually not much better than ours, Weizhou has increased a hundred war horses compared to before, Guo Duwei has increased his combat power at the same time, and the burden has also increased, even if I have the cheekiness to sell these fifty war horses to Guo Duwei, Guo Duwei has no money to buy it, rather than this, it is better to find a person who has the ability to buy, and I will collect the money at ease when the time comes." Qin Zhen said.

"Then what if Guo Duwei knows? Do you know what the crime of selling war horses is? Meng Xuan worried.

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "Guo Duwei is actually not as rigid as you think, he is now the head of the family in Weizhou, he knows the hardships of being a family member here, as long as he can get by, he will turn a blind eye." ”

"But this is not a simple matter, a full fifty war horses, can Guo Duwei pretend not to see it?"

"So this matter must be kept strictly confidential, except for you and Chen Luosheng, no one can know, when everything is settled, the money is in hand, we have room to turn around, no matter how Guo Duwei punishes it, I will bear it."

Saying that, Qin Zhen looked at Meng Xuan and said word by word: "I promise you, how many war horses I sell this time, it won't take three years, and I will buy them back double or even triple the quantity." ”

Meng Xuan looked at Qin Zhen, who had a resolute face and a firm look in his eyes, and nodded: "I believe that you can do it!" ”

Qin Zhen stretched out his palm, and Meng Xuan's palm hit it with a "snap", and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Meng Xuan suddenly said: "I went out with Luosheng, what about the training plan?" ”

Qin Zhen said simply: "You think on the way, come back and tidy up, it's almost time to start recruit training!" ”

"I'll go!" Meng Xuan's face was black.

......

After the autumn harvest, the land can not be ignored, and the field needs to be turned over again, after turning over, the soil in the field will become soft, and there will be a few snows in winter, and then you can fertilize and cultivate when you are stunned in the coming year.

He naturally spun linen at home, and the spun linen cloth could not only be used to make clothes, but also sold for some money to subsidize the family.

Aunt Li, a neighbor, came in and saw He who was spinning, and said with a smile: "Niu San's family, are you busy?" ”

Seeing Aunt Li coming in, He didn't stop the work in his hand, and said while spinning hemp: "It's the sister-in-law of the Li family, there is no big work in this field, I think about spinning some hemp while I am free, while exchanging some money, I also want to change some cotton cloth, and make some winter clothes for Lu'er and Shou'er, Shou'er is better, although the clothes worn by Lu'er are not good, but they can make do with it." But Lu'er has been skewering too much in the past two years, her clothes are obviously short, half of her legs are exposed in a pair of pants, and she has no suitable clothes, but now she is better, and she will not freeze to death in winter. ”

Aunt Li said, "Don't be busy yet, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Flying Eagle Regiment has made another new announcement. Just now, a group of us were talking and laughing and doing needlework, and the people of the Flying Eagle Regiment came over and posted a new announcement, and read the announcement to us on the spot, all of which were people's names, saying that on the fifth day of the ninth month, all the people on the announcement went to the barracks to discuss matters, and the name of our head was on it, and your Niu San was also on it, so I came to tell you. ”

Saying that, Aunt Li chuckled: "Suddenly, I heard Niu Dequan's name read on it, and I didn't react yet, but Wang Er was stunned and reminded me, and I remembered that it was your family." ”

He asked, "Didn't the announcement say anything?" ”

Aunt Li shook her head and said, "I didn't say this, I just talked about deliberations, and I also wondered what we ordinary people could discuss." ”

Before Aunt Li finished speaking, she heard a gong in the alley outside the courtyard, and then a loud voice came: "Fellow villagers, please pay attention, if you see your name on the announcement, go to the barracks to discuss the ...... on the fifth day of the ninth month."

When Niu San came back in the evening, He told Niu San the news he had heard during the day.

Niu San washed his face and said: "Today is the second day of the ninth month, and it is only three days before the fifth day of the ninth month. ”

He Shi was puzzled: "That's not right, I heard Aunt Li say that although there are many names on those announcements, they are incomplete after all, and there are many people's names that are not on them." ”

Niu San couldn't figure out about this matter, so he had to say: "We can't think of anything here, and everything will not be clear after we go." ”

On the fifth day of the ninth month, Niu San got up early, cleaned up, and went out a moment away.

When they arrived at the gate of the barracks, there were already a lot of people coming, and everyone gathered together in a bunch of east and west, and there was a lot of discussion.

As soon as he arrived, some people came out of the barracks, and Ma Rui, who registered Niu San, was inside.

Ma Rui cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone stand to the left, don't go beyond the line in front of me, every time I read a name, you shout 'to' and stand to the right, do you understand?" ”

"Understood!" One after another, voices rang out.

Ma Rui began to read the names on the list, and after reading the list, none of the people on it had arrived, which made Ma Rui greatly relieved.

Ma Rui, Ma Shun and others took everyone into an empty room in the military camp, Qin Zhen, Han Wenzhi, Han Ruoyun and others were already waiting here.

This empty room was originally used for the soldiers, although it was dilapidated, Han Wenzhi asked people to clean it up, and it was used to make do with it, and after Niu San and the others all came in, the room was a little crowded, Ma Rui reported to Qin Zhen and Han Wenzhi: "Report to Captain Qin, Han Teamzheng, this time to gather the people of Tong'an Town, a total of 100 people, all have arrived." ”

Niu Sanyi's eyes were attracted by Han Ruoyun as soon as he came in, of course, there was no shortage of Han Ruoyun's handsome face, and because there was only one woman in this group of people, of course, everyone's eyes were attracted by Han Ruoyun.

And Han Ruoyun faced everyone's gaze, her expression was calm, and there was no discomfort, which made Niu San secretly praise in his heart.

When he heard Ma Rui say the words "Captain Qin", Niu San was so excited that he knelt down without thinking about it, although he didn't know who was Captain Qin among the group of people standing above.

So when Ma Rui's words just fell, half of them were still standing in a daze, and the other half were already hula on the ground.

"Grass people, see Captain Qin."

"The grass people meet Captain Qin."

"Meet the Captain."

......

The other half of the people standing looked at the neighbors who knelt on the ground next to them, and listened to their voices one after another, they also reacted, and quickly knelt down, and the house instantly became lively.

"Silence!" Ma Rui shouted.

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and secretly looked left and right, looking at each other, and their hearts were suddenly uneasy.

Faced with this situation, Qin Zhen was a little confused, and he only then reacted a little, his current status as a lieutenant is a big official for ordinary people, and ordinary people need to kneel when they see him.

Qin Zhen was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, with a horizontal knife at his waist, took a step forward, and held his hands in a false position: "Don't kneel, everyone, stand up quickly." ”

Although Qin Zhen had already shouted for everyone to stand up, everyone didn't know who this coarse cloth boy was, the captain didn't speak, how could they dare to stand up at will, if they annoyed the captain of the school, they would have no good fruit to eat, so they knelt on the ground and didn't move.

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Qin Zhen had to say again: "I am Qin Zhen, the captain of the Flying Eagle Regiment, and now I order you to stand up, if there are still people kneeling, they will be fined one stone." ”

With a "bang", everyone stood up, and the speed was faster than the other.

Although Niu San had already learned from Ma Xuan and his nephew Ma Zifu that Captain Qin was a fifteen-year-old boy, when he really saw Qin Zhen, he couldn't help but be surprised, he really couldn't imagine that the young man in front of him who was wearing a coarse cloth robe, his face was a little pale, and he was weak and handsome.

The captain in front of them was wearing the same coarse cloth robe as they were, but this robe had no patches and was cleaner than the clothes they were wearing.

Qin Zhen seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and chuckled, "Do you think I don't look like a school captain?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, just think about it in their hearts, who dares to admit it and joke.

Qin Zhen didn't care about everyone's duplicitous response, but said with a smile: "I think all of you should know about the matter of looking for you today, that is, the land reclamation problem in Tong'an Town, you should be very strange why only you people come, don't worry, you will know it immediately, and I will make a specific explanation to you below." ”
