CHAPTER XLVII
Li Xiao, who had been thinking about it all night, was a little discouraged, 150,000 taels of silver was really a lot of money. But no matter how Li Xiao calculates, it doesn't seem to take a few months. There are just too many places to spend money, there is no way. If you want to pull people to work and fight, you have to spend money, and there is no market just by talking about it.
To be a man or to be honest!
If the boss is not interesting enough, there will be no interesting employees.
Although a person's life is worthless in these years, there must still be a price for someone to sell their lives.
Mao Wenlong's official worship was the chief soldier of the town, and the emperor personally received him. With Li Xiao, Ao Canghai, as well as Man Gui and Wu Ye, these small miscellaneous fish. There is also a chance to see the sky!
What kind of virtue the emperor has grown, Li Xiao is actually not curious. Anyway, it's all a nose and two eyes, if it looks like the Yangtze River No. 7, Li Xiao doesn't mind asking him for laser weapons.
He had to go to the military headquarters, because his seal and official uniform were in the military headquarters. Originally, officials of their level could be arranged by Wang Zaijin. But the emperor suddenly became interested and wanted to see the meritorious ministers. Li Xiao's trip to the capital, if you don't go, you have to go.
The itinerary is very tight, and he has to go to Shandong after going to the military department. There are old friends waiting for him there, and the last time he recruited was in Shandong. Li Xiao has a very good impression of the villagers in Shandong, mainly because of reality.
As long as you are summoned to the team, after Ao Ye's training, you will definitely be able to order and prohibit. In addition, the previous group of people went home one after another, and brought back all the money they earned this year. The foundation of Phi Dao among the masses in Shandong is quite solid.
After working Phi Island for two or three years, he returned home as a proper small landlord. The money saved in one year in Phi Dao may not be enough to work hard at home for five years.
This year, the team will be expanded by 2,000 people, and Li Xiao wants to solve all of them in Shandong. The huge Shandong has a large population, and it shouldn't take much effort to find 2,000 honest people to come out. This is the advantage of our China, which has a large population base. There is room for selection of whatever talent you want.
I slept all night in a daze, and after breakfast, I set off.
Li Xiao was surprised to see Zu Dashou in the send-off team, except for his sallow face, his eyes were scattered, and he needed help to walk, and he didn't seem to be uncomfortable.
Yesterday, I saw that he drank more than 20 bowls of liquor, and he counted several catties. Although he vomited a lot halfway, this is also the amount that can drink the dead. Li Xiao was also worried that if Zu Dashou died, Wu Sangui would come to him for revenge. Is he killing? Or kill? Or kill!
"Chief Soldier Zu, boy Meng Lang yesterday, please forgive your sins!" Seeing Zu Dashou leaning weakly on Wu Xiang's shoulder, Li Xiao hurriedly went over to give a salute. I still respect this guy in my heart.
"Huh! You said yesterday that you drank this wine, and the next day you will have a splitting headache and it is better to die. I've been taught, and I was thinking about suicide this morning. But my ancestor still wants to thank you for those things of yours. The brothers would not have to fight hard with the Tartars, and many fewer people would die. Thank you for my grandfather's birthday, and thank you for my brothers.
Sangui! Give Brother Li a gift for my uncle! ”
Brother Li? Then Wu Sangui didn't become his junior? Looking at Wu Sangui, who was a head taller than Li Xiao, Li Xiao had absolutely no way to associate the words "this peerless big yin and the junior".
Wu Sangui clenched his fists with both hands and slammed at Li Xiaochang to the ground to 90 degrees. Except for the movements in his hands, how do you look like a Japanese?
"Since the chief soldier calls me Li Xiao a brother, I, Li Xiao, will call me a big brother. In the past, I looked down on the Liao army, and I always felt that the Liao army saw the Tartars and fled. But seeing your eldest brother, I began to admire the Liao army again. At least admire your grandfather!
In order for his brothers to die a few less and be able to risk their lives, there are few chief military officers in this world who can do it. Based on this alone, I, Li Xiao, will hand over your eldest brother. After Li Xiao finished speaking, he also gave a deep salute to Zu Dashou.
"Huh! Good brother, my ancestor has inherited this love. In the future, if there is a place for my ancestors' longevity, just open your mouth. Zu Dashou took Li Xiao's hand and looked at Li Xiao's eyes full of sincerity.
****************************************************************
"Trash!"
"Slut!"
"Bing Youzi!"
"Scum!"
"Scum!"
Li Xiao rode on his horse, thinking about what had just happened in front of the gate of Shanhaiguan, and he was so angry that he whipped the tree on the side of the road with his horsewhip.
He now regrets dying for Mao, and under the excitement, he said, "If you need it, big brother, you just say." "That's a terrible sentence.
As soon as Li Xiao said this, Zu Dashou immediately hit the snake with the stick. Open your mouth and you're going to have two thousand bullets left! In front of so many people, the water that was spilled out of the words was spilled, and Li Xiao could only bite his molars and swallow them in his stomach.
Li Xiao, who couldn't regret it, got a valuable lesson, that is, Zu Dashou will be sincere, then the damn unless the sow will go to the tree.
Leaving Shanhaiguan is the border of Hebei, and Mao Wenlong goes to a county seat. There are county officials who are enthusiastic, after all, this is the chief soldier of the general town personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and his status is not ordinarily high.
Mao Wenlong, an old official, is naturally familiar with things in officialdom. On the surface, it was as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, and even scolded several officials because the reception banquet was too rich.
But in private, it was the cashier who received a cramp in his hand, and such a big official crossed the border. Everyone inevitably means that who knows where this boss will go in the future. Leave a piece of incense now, and in the future, there will be a horse stirrup short begging for others, and it will not seem abrupt.
Li Xiao didn't disturb Mao Wenlong's good deeds, but was a little worried about whether Man Gui would be able to rush to the capital in time to be sealed. His position is the same as that of Ao Canghai, he is the captain of Zhaoxin. followed Mao Wenlong to see His Majesty the Emperor, but people had to walk in front of Li Xiao.
Li Xiao basically doesn't interfere in the affairs of the team now, as long as he arrives at the station, he changes his clothes and takes Li Hu and Ai Husheng out shopping. When I see something fun that suits the situation, I buy some. When I came out this time, I still had to bring something back to Xiaoyu and Xiaohao.
Li Xiao is downplaying his position, after all, the first bird is easy to be shot. Now it's still under Mao Wenlong's wings and just quietly watching the Ming officialdom. As a novice, he is not the opponent of those old foxes. At this time, it is very valuable to pretend to be a little low-key.
After several days of driving, a black silhouette appeared in front of me. The city wall of Jingshi is like a beast lying in wait in the warm spring breeze, the black and swarthy stretches for dozens of miles, the seven-story wall is extremely magnificent, and the Mingzi banner is blown by the wind "whoosh" and "whoosh"!
Here it is, it's Beijing! In the end, this trip to the capital is a blessing? Or is it woe?
