After listening to Jia San's words, Huo Shan nodded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Next, after glancing at the town on the shore, he turned to ask, "Boss Jia, is there a garrison on this island?"
"Why are you asking this?" Jia San asked as he looked at him with some surprise.
As an old immigrant in the territory of the People's Army, over the past few years, he has been very familiar with some of the internal rules and regulations and laws of the People's Army, and knows that the troops stationed in the army are generally military secrets, and ordinary people will not inquire about this at all.
"Could it be that the guy I got up from the sea this time is a spy sent by the Qing Dynasty to our People's Army?" Thinking of this, Jia San was even more vigilant.
And at this moment, seeing the change in the expression on Jia San's face, Huo Shan knew that he had been misunderstood, and of course he was also glad that his people had such a sense of vigilance.
However, in order to achieve his own goals, the excuses and lies that should be found are still very much needed by Huo Shan.
"When I was in my hometown before, I often heard the merchants in the south say that the people's army in the south is very powerful, and it has defeated many foreign devils, and now it is fighting with the Americans, so I want to see what they are like!"
"Haha!"
Huo Shan's praise of the People's Army made Jia San feel honored, and the vigilance in his heart was also lowered a little.
"The army station is not something that ordinary people can enter, so you are destined not to be able to do so this time! But if you want to be a soldier, you can try it again when our People's Army is recruiting. It stands to reason that given the strength of your body, there should be no problem with getting in. ”
Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled and nodded.
'Be a soldier'. It seems that there is no soldier with a higher rank than him in the entire Huo family army now.
"By the way, Brother Huo, my ship is about to dock! There are still some things on the ship that I need to do, so I won't accompany you for now!"
"Boss Jia is welcome, please do it!"
"I almost forgot!" After just taking a few steps, Jia San turned around again, looked at Huo Shan and said, "If Brother Huo needs help with something." Just get to the bow deck and I'll just say it!"
"Okay! Thank you, Boss Jia!"
After listening to Huo Shan's words, Jia San nodded and strode away.
Seeing Jia San leave. After glancing at the harbor that was getting closer and closer, Huo Shan turned into the house and called out to Helen, who was still asleep.
"Xiaoshan, let me sleep again! people are so sleepy!" opened his sleepy eyes. Helen muttered after arriving at Huo Mountain. He closed his eyes again.
Looking at her cute appearance, Huo Shan's eyes couldn't help but show pity. The week of wandering with him in the rocky strip on the outskirts of the island must have exhausted her.
"Okay, little lazy pig! We're on the shore now, and when we get to the shore, we'll find a comfortable place for you to sleep!" Huo Shan said with a smile after gently scraping Helen's white nose.
"Docked?"
I was stunned for a moment. As the sleepiness on her face wore off, Helen remembered that they were no longer on the deserted island.
"yes! I'll find you a place to have a big meal, then take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep!"
After listening to Huo Shan's words, Helen's eyes lit up, these things that she could easily get when she was at home in the past, now she has not enjoyed them for more than three months. Now after Huo Shan said this, Helen's heart couldn't help but surge with strong longing.
"But we don't seem to have any money?" At the thought of this, Helen's big blue eyes dimmed again.
"Hehe, don't worry! I have my own way!" Huo Shan said confidently.
"Really?"
Looking at the look of surprise on Helen's face, Huo Shan smiled and nodded, "When have I ever let you down!"
"Okay, get up! The boat is docked!" Huo Shan said with a smile as he felt the vibration under his feet.
"Hmm!"
After obediently agreeing, Helen stood up and walked out of the cabin behind Huo Shan.
When they came to the deck, they happened to see Jia San paying the shipwright. At this time, the two of them were also interested and did not go up to bother.
It wasn't until all the shipwrights received the money for the completion of the ship and then happily disembarked and went home that Huo Shan took Helen to greet him.
"Boss Jia is really generous, ten silver dollars per person, enough for two months' living needs of ordinary people!"
Hearing this, Jia San smiled and said: "Hehe, it should be, it should be! I was also a boatman for other people, and I knew that this line of work was not easy, and if I went to sea and encountered a storm, I might even have to take my life." So it is also appropriate to pay them more. ”
"Moreover, I made a lot of money on this trip, and I don't want to be too stingy. Otherwise, it will be difficult to recruit people next time you go to sea!"
"In addition, our Nanyang People's Army here is different from the Qing Dynasty where you stayed before, and the wages of the workers cannot be denied by a penny, otherwise they will have to suffer a lawsuit!"
After listening to his words, Huo Shan smiled and nodded. At the beginning, the "Labor Protection Law" and the "Employment Law" were issued by him, and he was no stranger to what Jia San said.
"Okay, Brother Huo, I'm done here too! Let's go, when you get off the boat, you will live in my house first, and after you find a living, settle down, and make money, you can slowly find your father!" Jia San said.
"Thank you, Boss Jia, but I want to go to the official mansion here first!"
"Official?" Hearing this, Jia San was stunned, but thinking of what happened to Huo Shan, he didn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll take you!"
After finishing speaking, Jia San took Huo Shan and the two of them off the deck, and as for the boat, there would naturally be someone watching.
"Brother Huo, why don't we find a place to change the clothes on you and your younger siblings first?" Looking at the curious eyes of the two people gathered around Huo Shan, as well as the appearance of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law pointing and laughing in a low voice, Jia San hurriedly walked to Huo Shan's side and whispered.
Hearing this, coupled with the appearance on the faces of the people around him, Huo Shan also knew that the clothes on his and Helen's clothes were similar to beggars' clothes, which were indeed very eye-catching. And Helen is also a blonde and blue-eyed beauty. It's no wonder that this place with simple folk customs has attracted so much attention.
However, Huo Shan, who was anxious at the moment, did not plan to waste any more time to change clothes.
"No need, Boss Jia, let's go!"
After listening to Huo Shan's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Jia San's face, and he hurriedly continued in a low voice: "I'm afraid that when I get to the county government, people won't let you in! Alas, when I was on the boat, I only cared about chatting with my brother and forgot to change your decent clothes!"
Saying this, Jia San's face couldn't help but show a look of annoyance.
"Don't worry, Boss Jia! If someone doesn't let me in when I get there, then they don't deserve to stay in that position anymore!" Saying this, Huo Shan's majestic aura accumulated in a high position for a long time was revealed.
Jia San next to him couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that the shirtless young man next to him seemed to have become taller at this moment.
"It seems that this Huo brother is not an ordinary person!" With such a guess, Jia San nodded towards Huo Shan and walked ahead of the curve.
Although Yap Island is not small, there are more than 10,000 people. But the town, which is the seat of the Yap County government, is not too big, and the three of them walked for about ten minutes before stopping in front of a small two-story brick and stone building.
There is a fence around the small building, and after entering, there is a small courtyard of about 100 square meters, surrounded by flowers and trees, and then on both sides of the central aisle, there are stone tables and chairs for resting. The whole décor is not luxurious, but it is very tasteful. From these arrangements, it can be seen that the county magistrate here should also be a literate person.
"Brother Huo, this is it!"
Hearing this, Huo Shan nodded, looked at the nameplate of 'Yapu County Government of Yingzhou Province, Yingzhou Province, Chinese People's Army' hanging on the wall, and said, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Hearing his words, Jia San couldn't help but hesitate for a while, although he had lived in the Huo family army for three years, he grew up in the Qing Dynasty, and he still had a natural fear of the power of officials in his bones.
It wasn't until he saw that Huo Shan and Helen were about to enter the gate of the county government that Jia San gritted his teeth and hurriedly followed.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" Just as Huo Shan and the others walked in the door, they were stopped by an old man guarding the door.
"I want to find the county magistrate here!" Huo Shan replied with a calm expression.
"Looking for the county magistrate?!" the old man looked stunned.
Although the county magistrates of the People's Army were not as powerful as the county officials of the Qing Dynasty, they were above the common people. But in the past few years since he watched the door, he has never seen him dressed like this to find the county magistrate!
However, although the young man in front of him was poorly dressed, the aura of Yuanyue on his body was not something that ordinary people could have, and the foreign woman behind him, although his face was very dirty, but he also revealed a luxurious atmosphere.
Looking at these two people, the old man knew that they were not ordinary people. However, he didn't let the two men in immediately.
"What are you looking for from the county magistrate?"
Hearing this, Huo Shan frowned, this is really difficult for him to answer, "Why? Can't the county magistrate here see me?"
"It's not that you can't see it, but you carry a sword and a sharp weapon, of course you can't let you in!"
Hearing this, Huo Shan followed the direction of the old man's finger and immediately saw the saber he tied to the outside of his thigh. frowned, for this saber that has helped him a lot in the past three months, Huo Shan is very precious, and he doesn't want to leave for a while.
"Lao Zhang, who are you talking to?"
At this time, a young man of about twenty-six or seventeen years old with a black briefcase walked out of the door of the small building.
"County magistrate, are you off work?" Seeing the visitor, the old man hurriedly walked up. (To be continued......)
