The half-grown child is named Yang Chun, fourteen years old this year, and his family is from Chongzhou.

When he was a child, Yang Chun's family conditions were still good, because his grandfather Yang Zhankui had a reputation for showing talent, so he worked in the household of the yamen, which was quite a good position.

When the imperial court sent a large army to attack Jinchuan the year before last, Yang Zhankui led the soldiers and rice to supervise the transportation as a student, and led more than 1,000 people from various villages in Chongzhou to push chicken carts full of grain to the front line. As a result, when we reached the Songpan area, it rained heavily, causing many chicken buses to fall into ditches because of road slipping.

The misfortune is that at that time, a large number of Qing soldiers who had retreated from the Jinchuan front line fled in panic, and the people thought that the soldiers were coming, so they were so frightened that they abandoned the grain and fled, resulting in the destruction of all the soldiers and rice transported this time.

After tracking down, no one will listen to Yang Zhankui explain the cause and effect, who made him the person in charge of supervising Bingmi.

Soon, Yang Zhankui was deprived of his fame and expelled from the yamen, and he was also ordered to compensate the abandoned soldiers for 1,000 taels of rice, otherwise he would be taken to prison.

The final result was that Yang Zhankui sold all the houses and land in his family to repay the price of rice, and the Yang family, which was originally a wealthy family in Chongzhou, was immediately dilapidated and became poor at the bottom.

Twelve-year-old Yang Chun had to interrupt his private school studies, and in order to make a living and reduce the burden on his family, he became a pony of the Salt Gang with the help of his relatives.

In the past two years, Yang Chun has followed the adults in the gang to almost all over the whole province of Sichuan, experienced countless days of eating and sleeping in the open air, and tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, which made Yang Chun, who was only 14 years old, look a little wooden and did not like to talk.

The battalion soldiers who collected taxes at the East Gate before all knew Yang Chun and knew the character of this young man, but today they have changed a group of people, who have just come down from the front line.

The above arranged for this group of battalions who had been withdrawn to rest and recuperate to collect taxes at the city gate, also in order to let these guys who had been holding back in the mountains for several months get some benefits.

Because they are foreign soldiers, these battalion soldiers are definitely not as easy to talk as local soldiers, and their hearts are a little dark.

According to the previous rules, Yang Chun only needed to pay six coppers for the goods loaded on the horse, but these foreign soldiers had to pay him ten.

The extra four coppers may not be much in the eyes of others, but for Yang Chun, who still has a few younger brothers and sisters waiting to eat at home, it is unacceptable.

The other horses were also asked to pay more, and under the threat of the battalion soldiers, the old and the young, they did not dare to resist and could only pay obediently.

Yang Chun refused to pay.

Seeing that the half-grown child in front of him was reluctant to pay the money, the battalion soldier who collected the money was a little angry, pushed Yang Chun with the scabbard in his hand, and said impatiently: "Pay the money, don't you see that there are still many people waiting behind!" ”

Yang Chun still didn't move.

"Hey, boy, you're deaf!"

The battalion soldier lost his temper, and without saying a word, he raised his scabbard and smashed it towards Yang Chun.

Yang Zhi happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but say "oops": "Beat someone!" ”

"Huh?"

Jia Liu looked back, but saw that the half-grown child stretched out his right hand and held the scabbard that the battalion soldier had swung off.

"Damn, you still dare to block it!"

The battalion soldier who beat people didn't want the half-grown child to dare to resist, so angry that he wanted to take back the scabbard and fight again, but he didn't want the scabbard to be held by the half-old child, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it back.

After several attempts in succession, the faces of the battalion soldiers who beat people were swollen and red.

"Someone resists taxes!"

The other two battalion soldiers on the side who were collecting money saw that the situation was not right, and immediately rushed up to catch Yang Chun.

Yang Chun first threw the first battalion soldier to the ground with a fierce tug, and then reached out and clamped the two battalion soldiers who rushed over at the same time, throwing them to the ground like throwing chickens.

The action is fast and the strength is so great, I can see the master and servant of Jia Liu and Zhu Zhu who are not far away.

Three battalion soldiers were knocked to the ground in succession, and Yang Chun's actions were undoubtedly the biggest provocation to the authority of the battalion soldiers.

"Catch him!"

"Hack him!"

“.....”

More than a dozen battalion soldiers directly drew their swords and rushed over, and then a group of people, including Jia Liu, saw a young man in front of the city gate, and stacked more than a dozen sword-wielding battalion soldiers on the ground with a flat shoulder on horseback.

It's him, it's him!

Jia Liu's eyes were straight, his breathing was also faster, and his heart was beating harder.

It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

I didn't expect that the powerful person I had been looking for would be such a good-looking teenager.

There was a lot of commotion.

The horsemen who came with Yang Chun were either frightened and hid far away, or they stepped forward to grab Yang Chun, and some even snatched the flat burden from his hand, for fear that this kid would kill another battalion soldier on impulse, and that would be a real disaster.

A group of battalion soldiers armed with firearms rushed down from the city under the leadership of a general officer, and when they saw their wailing subordinates lying on the ground, the officer was furious, pointed at Yang Chun, who was persuaded by the horses, and shouted: "It's a thief, take him down, report to ask for credit!" ”

In one sentence, Yang Chun was characterized as a traitor.

"What kind of thief, don't scare other people's children, I am the blue flag of the Han army, I have seen everything just now, it's not a big deal, it's just that this kid is impulsive..."

Jia Liu stepped forward and threw his Buthabai Tang Ah waist card into the general hand.

The Han army is under the blue flag?

The general was stunned, looked down and saw that the brand in his hand was indeed used by the Eight Banners, and then listened to the other party's fluent Beijing films, and indeed there was indeed a Eight Banners soldier from Beijing who had just arrived in Chongzhou, so he did not doubt Jia Liu's identity.

Next, it is Jia Liu's general consultation with this general manager to deal with the aftermath.

Although the general manager is a seventh-rank martial artist, he obviously has no official authority in front of Jia Liu, the first Buteha of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

It just so happened that Zu Yingyuan passed by here with a group of people, and saw Jia Liu talking to the officers of the Green Battalion, and saw that there were still many Green Battalion soldiers lying on the ground, thinking that Jia Liu had done it with the Green Battalion.

"Team Jia, we're here!"

Zu Yingyuan was quite righteous, and rushed up with a hello.

Wang Fu was even more thief, and shouted while running: "Call people, call people, those who are full of eight banners, those who are full of eight banners, those who are full of eight banners, those who are full of eight banners, those who are from the Internal Affairs Office, and those of the Han army are all coming over to me!" ”

Things seem to be going bigger.

"Okay, why bother with a child, these ten silver rights will be used to pay for the medical expenses of the brothers on behalf of the child..."

"How can you break the bank! Hey, you're welcome! ”

The green camp saw more and more children of the Eight Banners gathered in the general eye, and knew that their own family would definitely not take care of it, so they were afraid that the matter would be too big and they would not be able to eat good fruits, so they pushed the boat down the river and collected the ten taels of medical expenses given by Jia Liu, and the matter was over.

After letting the crowd disperse, Jia Liu walked up to the half-grown boy and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

Yang Chun knew that the other party had saved him, but he was not good at words, and he didn't know what to say, so he nodded.

Yang Zhi was unhappy: "Little guy, don't you thank my young master?" ”

Yang Chun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed to Jia Liu: "Thank you!" ”

Jia Liu looked at the goods in the half-grown child's pack horse, and suddenly asked him, "How much money can you earn in a year doing this business?" ”

"Huh?"

Yang Chun hesitated and told Jia Liu that he could earn five or six taels a year by following the horse gang to run goods.

It's really hard work to earn a hard-earned money.

Jia Liu shook his head and said directly to the half-grown child: "That's it, I see that you are good, why don't you be a groom for me... Well, I'll give you twenty taels a year, how? ”

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to agree, he directly took out a silver ingot of five taels from the money bag and stuffed it into the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "This is paid to you in advance." ”

Looking at it, it's as if a half-grown child can't be a groom for him.

Yang Zhi muttered on the side: This kid is a groom, what should I do?

Yang Chun was also stunned by Jia Liu's move, and stood there stunned.

"Forget it, I'll tell you the truth, you have to be a good horseman, because although I saved you, I can't protect you every day, do you think you hurt so many battalions, they will spare you?"

Jia Liu is very honest.

Yang Chun was silent, he knew that what the other party said was the truth, even if those soldiers didn't come to trouble him, he wouldn't be able to work in the horse gang.

There is no work to do, what do the younger brothers and sisters eat at home.

"Don't worry, I won't lose you. You are so good, I will let you take the martial arts exam in a few years, and then I will find you an errand, how can it be better than running goods in the horse gang for the rest of your life? ”

Jia Liuyi wanted to pull the thug in front of him under his hands, and even planned for the future.

Seeing that the young master really liked this half-grown child, Yang Zhi also persuaded him: "Little guy, my young master has always counted when he speaks, and this is also your opportunity, you have to take advantage of it." ”

The half-grown child seemed to be thinking, and after about a dozen breaths, he finally spoke, but instead of agreeing, he put forward his own request.

"If you want me to do it with you, twenty taels is not enough, you have to add money."

Well?

Jia Liu felt that this was familiar.

Yang Zhi snorted: "Little guy, twenty taels is a lot, you only earn four or five taels a year..."

Jia Liu interrupted and asked the half-grown child directly: "Tell me, why do you add money?" ”

Yang Chun hesitated, and said calmly: "You are the military master of the Eight Banners, if I am a horseman for you, maybe I will have to fight for you on the battlefield... Twenty taels and ask me to sell your life to you, it's not worth it. ”

Jia Liu nodded slightly, this kid is not only good, but also very smart, which is completely different from the wooden and honest appearance.

"How much are you going to add?"

"One Chinese New Year's Eve."

“......”

Jia Liu thought that this half-grown child wanted how much he wanted, so he added ten taels without thinking about it, and agreed on the spot.

Such a good skill, let alone thirty taels a Chinese New Year's Eve, he has nothing to say a hundred taels a year.

"You take these ten taels of silver, whether you give it to your father or keep it for yourself, whatever you want... I have something to do now, so you can go back and look for me in the evening at the barracks outside the city. ”

After letting Yang Zhi give the half-grown child ten taels of silver, Jia Liu was about to enter the city, and remembered something again, "Oh, yes, I am the first Bute Ha Jia Dongge of the Han Army Banner, just report my name outside the camp." ”

Looking at the two silver ingots in his hand, Yang Chun was a little in a trance, hesitated and said in a sullen voice: "You're not afraid that I will take your money and run away?" ”

Jia Liuhaha smiled, and waved his hand to signal the bolt pillar to enter the city with him.

"Young Master, you haven't asked him what his name is?"

Yang Zhi thought to himself that the young master didn't even ask people's names, don't be wronged again, and he couldn't find anyone when he turned around.

The young master asked the half-grown child, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Yang Chun, and they all call me Xiao Chunzi."

"Yang Chun, Xiao Chunzi?"

Jia Liu couldn't help but be happy when he heard this name, shook his head and said: "What is the name of the manly husband, Chunzi, I don't know, I think you are a eunuch in the palace." ”

Yang Chun didn't say anything, in fact, he wasn't satisfied with his name, but who let this name be given by his father.

"That's it, since you met me, and you are willing to do it with me in the future, why don't you call Yang Yuchun."

Jia Liu thinks this name is good.

"Haruko-chan, what do you think?"

The bolt felt the need to consult the child's opinion.
