Chapter 4 The Father is Precious to the Son

Huo Qubing hurried away, watching a group of majestic warriors riding the magical steampunk product steel war horse, Ah Guang couldn't help but yearn for it.

This barren-looking Han Dynasty has many secrets waiting to be discovered.

When the people left, Chu Yuxiong, the county guard of Hedong County, came over with a flattering smile: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo." ”

Huo Zhongru was flattered by the enthusiastic county guard: "Chu county guard, subordinates don't dare to bear this title." ”

Just kidding, yesterday he was a small county official, and now he is the father of the military chief of the Han Dynasty, can this be the same?

Chu Yuxiong said very flatteringly: "I have long heard that there is such a capable person as you in the county, I have wronged you as a county official before, you can rest assured that I will change your position when you go back, I heard that Mr. is good at handwriting, and the young government (main financial affairs) in the county is still vacant, I don't know if Mr. is interested." ”

In the face of Chu Yuxiong's flattery, Huo Zhongru said with a slight resignation: "County guard, I have a small ability, I'm afraid I can't afford this heavy responsibility." ”

"Sir is humble, it must be you."

After some pushing, Huo Zhongru took over the errand.

Chu Yuxiong wants to curry favor with Huo Zhongru, Huo Zhongru himself is an idle county official in the county, these Chu Yuxiong have investigated clearly on the way here, but his son general, Huo Guang promised to recommend because of Huo Qu's illness, and he will be like a palace errand in the future, and the official must be bigger than him.

It was so easy to be an official in the Han Dynasty, at this time there was no imperial examination system, the nobles controlled absolute authority, and if they wanted to be officials, they had to be recommended, Huo Qubing recommended him, and Huo Guang's starting point was higher than the vast majority of people.

Ordinary people who are not in the elite class want to take the career of official class, they have to show filial piety and honesty, and the examination and examination are complementary and mutually useful, but in fact, the more important thing is the link of recommendation, as well as the identity of the recommender.

Chu Yuxiong handed the gold given by Huo Quzhi to Huo Zhongru at this time: "Mr. Huo, this is the gold given by the general, I am afraid that you will not be satisfied with the handling, I think it is better to hand it over to you, it is better for you to handle it yourself." ”

Looking at the palm-sized cloth bag full of irregularly shaped gold, this money is nothing to Huo Quzhi, but for Huo Zhongru, he has never seen so much money in his life, and his son gave it, so he unceremoniously reached out and took it.

At this time, Huo Guang's hand grabbed Huo Zhongru's wrist, stopped his hand and said, "Father, this is the money that the eldest brother asked the Chu County Shou to help you purchase shop and farm property, and you don't know how to use the money, so let the Chu County Shou work hard to help." ”

Huo Zhongru has never seen this money, let alone the concept of financial management, these money are handed over to him, and he may not know where to spend it, and men will become bad when they have money, and men in the Han Dynasty are no exception.

So even if Huo Zhongru wanted to take it, Huo Guang held his hand tightly.

Chu Yuxiong didn't shirk and said, "Then I'll go back and show Mr. Huo some good places today, and I'll send them to Mr. Huo in two days." ”

Huo Zhongru had no choice but to reluctantly give the gold to Chu Yuxiong and take it away.

After Chu Yuxiong walked out a little, Huo Zhongru said with reproach: "You stupid boy, do you know him?" Give him some gold, what if someone cheats us? This money is more than enough to keep for you to get a three-room bride. ”

"Father, do you want to ask for a three-room bride by yourself?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, your father and I are absolutely dedicated to your mother."

Ah Guang didn't bother to argue with him and said, "Father, do you know why the eldest brother gave the gold to the Chu County Guard instead of giving it to you directly." ”

"The stupid boy can only fight, but he doesn't know how to manage money."

How embarrassed are you to say that others don't know how to manage money, Huo Zhongru's understanding of himself is very inadequate.

"Father, big brother is helping you."

"How?"

"You think, you spend your own money to buy a good shop, a good shop is naturally expensive, and people may not be willing to sell, you have to spend a lot of money to buy it, and the same is true for good land, but it's different for people to buy it, the head of a county, with a big face, a lot of news, and a wide range of roads, even if people are greedy for you to use some gold as labor fees, and finally spend all the gold given by the eldest brother, he must buy more than you buy, and buy it well."

"And Chu Junshou is entrusted by the eldest brother, and he will always do his best, you are cheap and good."

When Huo Guang said this, Huo Zhongru suddenly realized, but immediately grabbed Ah Guang's ears: "What do you mean that I am cheap and obedient, you kid is talking more and more impertinent now, I am your father, or you are my father." ”

"Pain, pain, father, I know it's wrong."

Huo Zhongru was placed in Huo Guang, today he was proud and beaming, but suddenly looked at Huo Guang very suspiciously.

"Father, why do you think of me like that?"

"Ah Guang, how do I feel that you are different from before."

"Yes...... Have it? Huo Guang was a little worried that his identity as a traverser would be revealed, after all, it was a little obvious.

"How can you be smarter than before? Enlightened? ”

Ah Guang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had woken up from a coma and said that he had a big brother was noticed, and now it seems that he was thinking too much.

At this time, Huo Zhongru's stomach rang, and he forgot to eat when he took care of Ah Guang before.

"Let's go, follow me out on the street and find something to eat."

"Father, don't you want to cook something to eat at home?"

"What do you think, our two are still cooking their own food in this identity? It's a joke to spread out, and when the shop and field property are purchased, I have to buy a few maids to serve our grandfather first, all those fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, and the older ones can't do it. Huo Zhongru's expression on the face of the feudal landlord class.

In this way, Huo Zhongru swaggered and took Huo Guang to the most prosperous section of Xiahe County.

The news of ancient times spread slowly, and the news that General Huo Qubing came to find relatives has not yet spread, and it is estimated that everyone will know that there is a person named Huo Zhongru in their county in two days.

At this time, Huo Zhongru took Ah Guang to the best restaurant in the area, they couldn't afford to spend it, but today Huo Zhongru came and ordered big fish and meat.

But the little guy is so happy.

"Father, we don't have any money now, how can we pay for this meal."

After thinking about it, Huo Zhongru called back to the little guy again: "It's all canceled first, let's have two bowls of clear water, no, add some shredded meat." ”

The little guy glanced at Huo Zhongru with contempt, and said bluntly: "I don't have the money to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf." ”

"Eh, you ......" Huo Zhongru was about to get angry, but was stopped by Huo Guang.

"Father, in two days, you will take the money to make him kneel and memorize the name of the dish, little Karami is not worth caring about."

Huo Zhongru's eyes lit up: "What is Karami?" But Ah Guang, your proposal is good. ”

After a while, two bowls of clear water were served, and the little guy put the bowl down very unhappily, and the soup was spilled out, and the Han Dynasty had no service attitude.

Huo Zhongru said coldly: "You memorize your recipes first." ”

"Sick in the brain." The little guy in the big inn has a higher vision.

The father and son began to suck and eat noodles, this was Ah Guang's first meal in the Han Dynasty, and the flavor of the noodles also made him eat very fragrant, because he was so hungry that he had been in a coma for several days before.

After eating, I touched my stomach: "It's a little bit of taste, only a little salt to taste, and it's a little bitter, if you make some seasoning, you can sell it for money." "Just thinking about it is a way to get money.

This is the dimensionality reduction attack of modern people on ancient people, what Huo Guang saw and heard is nothing among modern people, but it is unique in ancient times.

Just as Ah Guang was thinking about this, a noisy sound came from the street downstairs.

Poked his head out and saw that two groups of people were fighting on the street, a group of a dozen or so people with wooden sticks, and a group of only one person, resisting vigorously, fighting and retreating, and looking limping, it should be a leg injury.

syllable

Huo Zhongru slapped the table and stood up: "In broad daylight, the stick gang is too disagreeable, and they actually fought on the street." ”

As a county official, he is mainly in charge of public security, but he is not in charge of this street, and the small county officials can only manage the depressed streets.

It wasn't until the two groups got closer that Ah Guang could see clearly that the lame man was still holding a child in his hand.
