Chapter 11: The Tiger Army
…
Early the next morning, the neighbors gathered in front of Zhao Han'er's house.
Zhao Han'er and Xie Shi heard the voice and hurriedly came out to check the situation.
Seeing that Zhao Han'er and the Xie family came out, Sun He, the eldest man of the Sun family, immediately shouted at the Xie family: "Sister-in-law of the Zhao family, I also want to go to Li Xianggong to be a soldier, and I also ask Brother Zhao to introduce us and others." ”
Zhao Han'er saw that so many people were going to vote for Li Cun, and said bluntly: "This ...... It's too much ......."
Without waiting for Zhao Han'er to finish speaking, Xie interrupted Zhao Han'er and said: "There is no problem, your eldest brother is highly valued by Li Xianggong, even if there is no place for others, there will inevitably be yours, no need to worry." ”
Hearing what Xie said this, Zhao Han'er hurriedly went to the corner of Xie's clothes and signaled Xie not to make promises.
But Xie ignored it and continued to tempt: "I'll wait for the neighbors to go together, and I just have a care, so I don't have to be bullied in the future." ”
"That's right."
"It's because of Brother Zhao's help that I don't go elsewhere."
“……”
Everyone gossiped.
Some people also took the opportunity to ask: "Can Li Xianggong take care of breakfast there?" Do I need to eat at home before going to the barre? ”
Xie Shi said with a big bag: "Naturally, I am in charge of the food, not only the food, but also the food." ”
When everyone heard this, they were even more happy, and they urged Zhao Han'er's family to leave quickly.
When Zhao Han'er and Xie walked back to call their two old men and five children to go to the grain drying field, Zhao Han'er asked Xie in a low voice: "How can you promise indiscriminately, what should I do if the lord doesn't accept them?" Also, how dare you say that you will feed them, there are so many of them, and if the lord refuses to take care of them, I will have to give them my own food. ”
When Xie Shi heard this, he said firmly: "I expect that Li Xianggong must have prepared good food and waited for them to come to the door." ”
“?”
Although Zhao Han'er had long known that Xie was intelligent, Zhao Han'er still couldn't believe Xie's guess.
But at this point, Zhao Han'er could only take these dozens of people to the barnyard.
There is still a short distance from the barn field, Zhao Han'er and others saw that there was a particularly tall bamboo pole erected in the middle of the barn field, and a blood-red flag was hung on the bamboo pole, and a mighty and majestic black tiger head was painted on the flag.
Someone was curious, pointed to the black tiger flag, and asked Zhao Han'er: "What is that?" ”
Zhao Han'er shook her head: "I don't know." ”
After Zhao Han'er and his entourage came to the threshing field, they saw that the threshing field had been cleaned, and several areas had been divided into white ash in the middle of the field.
However, the attention of Zhao Han'er and the others quickly focused on the area where He Jiu was busy with more than a dozen men and women, to be precise, on the ten steaming cauldrons in front of He Jiu and them, and those who came earlier than Zhao Han'er and the others, who were holding the big cooking cake on the plate with one hand and gobbling up the broth with the other.
"It turns out that breakfast is really here, or cooking cakes with broth!"
Zhao Han'er's group is all smiling!
Here, seeing Zhao Han'er and his gang coming, Fang Wuji, who was in charge of welcoming the newcomer, immediately greeted him, and then pointed to Zhao Han'er and asked Zhao Han'er more than a dozen young people: "Are they all here to join my Tiger Army?" ”
"Tiger Army?" Zhao Han'er looked dazed.
Seeing this, Fang Wuji said with a smile: "Tiger Ben, warrior also, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Tiger Ben Army was the emperor's exclusive army, without any restrictions, directly obeyed the emperor's orders, the most brilliant record of the Tiger Ben Army was that it raided the Hun 150,000 army with 3,000 people, and won a complete victory.......
Speaking of this, Fang Wuji couldn't go on, because he found that Zhao Han'er and his gang were staring at the tall cooking cakes and meat pots, and no one listened to what he was saying at all, he was completely playing the piano to the cow.
Fang Wuji shook his head and said, "All the soldiers who join my Tiger Ben Army can have enough meatloaf; Military dependents, enough broth, two cooking cakes. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered and rushed to He Jiu and the other gang leaders to ask for beef and cake broth, but only Xie Shi did not leave.
Xie Shi came to Fang Wuji's side and said: "I have seen the adult, the little woman Zhao Xie, these people are all recruited by Zhao Han'er, the official of my family, and I hope the adult knows." ”
When Fang Wuji heard this, he said: "Just waiting to talk to you about this, they all ran away, the general just gave an order, every time you introduce a young man to join my tiger army, you can get 200 Wen, there is no upper limit, your family officials recommend thirteen young people, you can get 2,600 Wen, you go there to find Hu Abacus, report the name of the young Zhuang recommended by your family officials, you can receive this money." ”
As soon as Xie Shi heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately gave Fang Wuji a blessing salute and said, "The little woman thanked the Lord for mentioning something. ”
After speaking, Xie Shi was ready to go to Hu Abacus to get the money.
Fang Wuji saw that Xie was behaving appropriately and talking like an ordinary village woman, so he stopped Xie: "Zhao Xie, let me ask you, can you read?" ”
Xie Shi hurriedly said: "Don't dare to hide it, the little woman once served as his little lady's personal maid in Hangzhou Qian Dayuan's house, and she has studied with the little lady for two years and knows some words." ”
After finding a few words and trying Xie Shi, seeing that Xie Shi was indeed literate, Fang Wuji took Xie Shi to see Li Cun.
Li Cun did not discriminate against Xie because he was a cripple.
After asking a few simple management questions, and seeing that Xie answered fluently, Li Cun happily appointed Xie as the women's manager, and asked Xie to immediately organize women to make cloth shoes, leggings, food bags and other things.
Afraid that Xie would not do a good job, Li Cun deliberately handed over the Jiao clan again, and there was a shortage of manpower, so he tried to recruit himself, and if he lacked things, he went to Fang Wuji to ask for it, but it should be noted that those who work must be paid enough wages, as for how much to give, Xie reported to Li Cun for approval after comprehensive consideration.
After explaining to Xie Shi, he explained to Xie what the cloth shoes, leggings and food bags he wanted looked like, and Li Cun, who had a lot of things to deal with, sent Xie away.
After leaving Li Cun's hall, Xie Shi pinched his thigh fiercely!
"It hurts!"
"I'm not dreaming?!"
It's no wonder that Xie Shi would be so unbelievable, but she never dreamed that Li Cun would entrust her, a lame woman, with a heavy responsibility.
At this moment, Xie's dedication was activated.
Xie felt that she had to do everything Li Cun had told her in order to repay Li Cun's kindness to her.
Thinking of this, Xie immediately went to the place where the women gathered, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, a great good thing has hit me and waited here......"
At the same time, Zhang Datie was also recruiting strong old and young men to build spear heads with him, while Fang Wuji led the remaining old and young straight ash rods, made rooster carts, built temporary toilets, built temporary bathrooms, and did other things that Li Cun had explained......
As for Li Cun, who has assigned all the chores, there is only one thing left to do - training!!
