Chapter 40: Is my surname Cai?

However, the situation that worried Zhang Shou did not happen, although Granny Cai saw through herself, she didn't say anything, but just observed Zhang Shou from various angles along the way, which made Zhang Shou have goosebumps all over his body.

This old woman won't take a fancy to herself, will she...... Although he is very handsome, he definitely does not have his grandfather's special hobby of liking heavy mature women.

But fortunately, there is Sister Dou E in the car, the space of this car is very small, probably less than two square meters, Zhang Shou will touch Sister Dou E's body if he gives birth to his legs and feet, which makes Zhang Shou's excited heart beat non-stop, and there is a feeling that he wants to jump out of his throat and eyes.

"Is this what it's like to be in love?" Zhang Shou howled in his heart.

Just when Zhang Shou felt the beauty of the two heavens of ice and fire, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and then stopped urgently.

Dou E hurriedly asked in the car, "What happened?" ”

"Back to Miss, there are soldiers and horses, there is a large group of soldiers and horses in front, let's quickly pull over and avoid it! Otherwise, if you collide with these military exercises, you will be in big trouble! The handlebar was trembling and said, "Especially since you have two female dependents, it is even more dangerous."

"What are you afraid of when you meet officers and soldiers? Can they still hurt you? How do you feel scarier than banditry? Zhang Shou asked with a frown.

"This young master doesn't know, it's actually easy to deal with bandits, these bandits are entrenched in the mountains, and they generally don't want the lives of passers-by, just rob them of their money."

"Some bandits even only rob half of it, and give half to passers-by, otherwise if they kill too many people or rob too much, no one will dare to walk on this road, and then their business will not be successful."

"But the officers and soldiers are different, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and when they meet us passers-by, if they are in a good mood, they may let it go. But if the mood is too bad, or if the money is not enough, you and they will do anything. ”

"It is light to rob all the property in the car, and many soldiers are afraid of the incident, so they simply kill all the people after robbing the money to avoid leaking the news, and then they all push it on the bandits. More than half of the people in this world who were killed by bandits actually died at the hands of officers and soldiers. ”

"If a soldier encounters a war, it is even more terrifying. The imperial court generally records merit according to the head, and how can these soldiers have the ability to kill those bandits, and as a result, they like to specifically pick those good people to kill, call their heads the heads of enemies, and exchange them for rewards. As he spoke, he drove the car to the side of the road, and then shrank back respectfully, afraid of being noticed by the soldiers.

"Damn, the imperial court pays them millions of taels of military salaries every year, and they are still so greedy for money, they simply live up to the trust of the imperial court in them!" Zhang Shou was angry by the handlebar-style words, and said scoldingly.

"This young master, you are wrong again. In fact, you can't blame these soldiers for being greedy for money, because the military salary they can get every year is actually not much, only about four or five taels of silver! "Handlebar road.

"Impossible! Even if it is the lowest-level auxiliary soldier, according to the rules of the imperial court, each person receives one tael and five taels of silver per month, which is 18 taels of silver a year, and there is no problem in supporting himself, and the guard is also responsible for all the soldiers' rations.

If it is a soldier, then at least three taels of silver per month, it is 36 taels a year, enough for a family of five to live a rich life, how can it be only four or five taels? Zhang Shou said in disbelief.

"There is nothing wrong with saying this, but when will the money of the imperial court really fall into the hands of the common people? I don't know exactly how to get it, when I have a fellow who is a soldier, every time he asks me for a drink, he will complain a lot, as if after the military salary is down, their thousands of households will directly take away half of the military salary or something, I don't understand! The handlebar said, and Zhang Shou's face became even darker.

After he became the emperor, he had his own set of plans, and the first step was to encircle the army and completely control the entire military in the province, so that he could do other things.

According to Zhang Shou's original idea, he will pay the army next, and lead the army to fight in the first place, which is the most able to make the emperor's prestige in the army.

But I never thought that the military would be so harsh on military salaries, so what's the point of adding more? It's not that those military leaders are cheap, and if they continue to wage all kinds of wars and can't give enough military salaries, then the first one to blow up their hair, and I'm afraid it's the army that opposes them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou felt chills all over his body, if he really did it according to the original plan, God knows what bad ending would be in the end.

Just as Zhang Shou was thinking about these questions, the team of people and horses also walked on the side of the carriage, and Dou E, who was hiding in the curtain and peeking, saw the tall figure riding a horse at the forefront at first sight, and then exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother Zhang, is it you?" Brother Zhang!! ”

When Zhang Ruofei heard the voice, he immediately ordered the people to stop, then turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Dou E, so he walked over and said in surprise, "Miss Dou E, why are you here?" ”

"I'm coming back to see you, my hometown is from Shanyang!" Dou E hurriedly said, and at the same time asked curiously, "Brother Zhang, are you going to fight with so many military horses?" ”

"There are no bandits around here, what kind of battle are they fighting!" Zhang Ruofei shook his head and said, "This is not a military horse, these are the officials of the county government, only some of them are the soldiers and horses of the guard, I am going to encircle and suppress the silver mine controlled by the He family!" ”

"Oh!" Dou E nodded, and then began to chat with Zhang Ruofei.

At the same time, in the carriage, only Zhang Shou and Granny Cai were left alone, Zhang Shou obediently shrank in the corner and didn't dare to speak, but he didn't expect Granny Cai to suddenly say, "Boy, do you like my daughter-in-law?" ”

"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about...... Zhang Shou thought that Granny Cai would go straight to the point, and suddenly said with a red face.

"If you don't like my daughter-in-law, you will deliberately let people hurt their legs, just to stay with my daughter-in-law?" Granny Cai snorted coldly and said, "Your mother-in-law has never seen anything, and your wound is the kind of woman who has no knowledge to deceive my daughter-in-law, but you can't deceive Granny Cai's eyes." ”

"Mother-in-law...... That's it, since you can see it, I have nothing to say, let you dispose of it! Zhang Shou said so in his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart.

If this vegetable mother-in-law really wants to drive herself away from Dou E, then Zhang Shou can only stop acting, and directly send the embroidered guard to tie up Dou E's sister to her side.

Although he may not be able to win the love of Dou E's sister for the rest of his life, Zhang Shou definitely can't imagine that if he leaves Dou E, he will be such a walking corpse.

"At my disposal?" A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of Granny Cai's mouth, "Then are you willing to follow my surname Cai?" ”

"What?" Zhang Shou was stunned.

"Let me tell you the truth, my son is dead, and the Cai family will be extinct, so how can I have the face to see the old man of my family after I die. So if you really like my daughter-in-law, then recognize me as a mother and give me a son, and my mother's daughter-in-law will naturally be a daughter-in-law! Granny Cai said with a seductive face,

Don't say it, Zhang Shou is really moved!
