Chapter 8: All Rejoice
When the inspection envoy He Jun, Liang Jin and a group of them rode to Xiashui Village, they were about to arrive at the entrance of Xiashui Village.
"Huh~" He Jun suddenly reined in his horse, and then waved his hand behind him, and immediately more than a dozen riders behind him also stopped their horses.
"What's wrong, uncle? How did it stop? The seventh prince clamped the horse, made it slowly paced to He Jun's horse, and then asked puzzledly.
He Jun's eyes flashed with a cold color, he did not reply to the seventh prince's question head-on, but said lightly with a somewhat unsightly face: "Listen." ”
The Seventh Prince was a little puzzled, and at this time, there was no noise in their team of more than a dozen people, only the sound of horses snorting occasionally.
The Seventh Prince automatically blocked out the sound of the horses, but listened carefully to the sounds outside, and then sure enough, he heard a burst of shouts "Kill!" "Kill! "Kill!" The incessant shouting.
And when he heard this, he was suddenly a little shocked, after all, he was a rich and noble son, where had he encountered a fighting scene, and listening to these voices was quite close, it seemed that there was a group of murderers fighting not far away, and suddenly the seventh prince was busy saying to He Jun: "Uncle, is there a group of thieves fighting somewhere, since it is not peaceful here, let's turn around and go back?" ”
"Don't panic," He Jun pointed forward, "That's the location of Xiashui Village, and those shouts of killing came from there." ”
"Huh??" The Seventh Prince was shocked, and then looked back at Liang Jin with a sad face, and said to He Jun: "Doesn't that mean that the group of thieves are looting Xiashui Village at this time?" Isn't Xiashui Village in a catastrophe? ”
"Heh," He Jun just smiled faintly, but Xuan'er's voice became cold again: "If you don't encounter a big disaster, do you want to ask Liang Xian's nephew?" ”
At this time, Liang Jin also came to the side of He Jun and the two of them, and immediately asked He Jun: "My lord, my village is in front, why don't you go forward?" ”
Liang Jin and Zuo Zeguang were both behind more than a dozen horses just now, and then after suddenly stopping, after a while, the noble seventh prince turned around and cast a very pitying glance at him, which made Liang Jin a little confused...
He Jun said: "The front is your Xiashui Village?" I just heard the sound of shouting and killing in Xiashui Village, and it was very loud, and I think there are at least hundreds of people. This must be a drill, right? It's just that I don't know your village, so many people are practicing, and there is a burst of shouting 'kill', what is this for? ”
Hearing his uncle say that this was just the sound of shouting and killing in practice, not some looting of the village or something, the seventh prince couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and embarrassed at this time because he had just misjudged himself.
However, he also knew that he didn't have much experience, so he listened to the conversation between his uncle and Liang Jin on the sidelines, and the unpleasantness was just as if it hadn't happened.
As soon as Liang Jin heard He Jun's question, after thinking about it for a while, he knew what the other party was talking about, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiyu, you also know that this season, the current situation is really not peaceful, a while ago Nanguo Village was ransacked by a group of thieves, I think, this is for the sake of thousands of villagers in the village, it is better for our village to set up a village protection team, so that we can protect the safety of the old folks, and also share some for the peace of the town, which can be regarded as a contribution." ”
Hearing Liang Jin say this, He Jun's face suddenly darkened, and he said in his heart: "Okay, I haven't asked the teacher yet, so you put gold on your own face?" ”
"Hmph," He Jun said angrily, "Liang Jin, don't talk about this, you are a private placement township soldier, you give it to the county, even if it is the official here, do you say hello?" ”
Liang Jinxin said, greet you, it's strange if you agree, after all, what are these subordinates doing to you? And I'm going to set up a village protection team, this kind of township soldier nature, I want you to agree, cover it up in the official face, and I don't know how many benefits I want to send to you, is it really a gold basin in Shuishui Village?
Liang Jin thought so, of course he wouldn't say that, at this time He Jun said this, Liang Jin didn't have anything to say for a while, after all, there are two official words, right or wrong, it's not up to people to have the final say?
At this time, He Jun took the horsewhip and pointed at Liang Jin, and then seemed to be angry, and said: "Liang Jin, take a look at your family's brewing business this time, if I am happy this time, I will not see the matter of your village soldiers, if you don't satisfy me...... Hum! ”
After saying this, he immediately flicked his horsewhip and galloped in the direction of Xiashui Village, and then more than a dozen horsemen also galloped over.
Liang Jin was behind, his face was blue and white for a while, he spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground with hatred, and Xuan'er also galloped away, Zuo Zeguang, who was behind Liang Jin, saw that Liang Jin's face was not good-looking, and his heart sank.
Xiashui Village, at the entrance of the village, there are four members of the village protection team guarding at this time,—— this is a new measure implemented by Liang Jin of Xiashui Village, the purpose of which is to improve the safety precautions of Xiashui Village.
"Stop!" The four members of the village guard team who were standing at the entrance of Xiashui Village suddenly saw a team of about a dozen horses galloping towards the entrance of the village, and suddenly a guarding village guard shouted loudly at the team of people and horses.
And the team of centaurs seemed to have heard the cheers at the entrance of the village, and the team of centaurs gradually slowed down, but there were two horses in the team but did not slow down, and when the guards at the entrance of the village saw the two horses, especially the faces of the riders in front, suddenly the four guards were stunned, but they reacted quickly, and did not say anything else, but quickly opened the door to the outside world at the entrance of the village.
At that time, I saw that the guards at the entrance of the village opened the gate, and the dozen or so horsemen behind galloped over to this side,—— and soon the riders of the two people in front and behind were Liang Jin and Zuo Zeguang, and then the dozen horsemen were He Jun and them, who galloped into the village from the gate of the village entrance one after another.
Not far from the entrance of the village, there is the threshing place in the village, that is, the school field in the village and the school field that has been widened.
A dozen riders stopped at the edge of the front of the school field, and at this time, the dozen or so riders could no longer gallop towards the village, because the school field was full of members of the village protection team that was training, and they also blocked the way of the riders.
He Jun saw that there were at least hundreds of people on the school field in the village, and these hundreds of people, the larger ones were holding weapons in their hands, mostly spears and other long weapons, practicing stabbing movements, while on the side with fewer people, they seemed to be practicing martial arts, and the movements were uniform and neatly practiced.
Seeing this, the cold sweat on He Jun's face flowed down, and He Jun thought in his heart: "Where is this village soldier, look at the neat and uniform appearance of this action; In addition, those who practice stabbing look like new additions, but they are also listening to orders, stabbing at those straw men. It's all so neat and consistent, yes, it's very disciplined.
I know what the current situation of the barracks of the Great Wei State is, I can't afford to pay the soldiers, and the corruption in the barracks is particularly serious. As far as he is concerned, the group of 200 or so sword archers under his command are even more lazy. Even the regular military camp is like that, not to mention the group of inferior sword archers under his command. Looking at the situation in Xiashui Village now, maybe it is really as Liang Jin said, his village protection team may really be able to help the official. ”
As soon as he thought about this, He Jun found another word and said to Liang Jinxian: "Liang Xian's nephew, I think the number of your village protection team is almost five or six hundred people, right?" But I remember that there are only more than 1,000 people in your village, how did you recruit so many people, and they are all young and strong? ”
Liang Jin hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Don't dare to hide it from your lord, now that the situation is rampant with thieves, it is very chaotic, so I recruited some homeless people outside to supplement my village protection team." ”
He Jun heard Liang Jin say this, and secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case. But at this time, the conversation had already begun, and He Jun followed the conversation and said: "Virtuous nephew, I have a reluctant request, I don't know, heh, I don't know if the virtuous nephew can agree?" ”
Liang Jin hurriedly said, "Oh? Would you like to ask Uncle Shi to show me? Liang Jin saw that this He Jun was a virtuous nephew, so he couldn't stay too distant, so he called the other party "Uncle Shi", and he was happy to maintain a good relationship with this He Inspector.
"Ah that's the case," Inspector He said, "The virtuous nephew also said just now, this world is now in chaos, there are really a lot of thieves, didn't the virtuous nephew also said before, can you help me maintain law and order in the town?" That's what it means, right? ”
Liang Jin hurriedly said: "That's what it means. ”
"That virtuous nephew can't just talk about it, right?" He Jun said in a joking tone.
Liang Jin said very solemnly: "It's just a matter of one word from an adult." ”
"Good!" He Jun said with a satisfied look.
Liang Jin thought to himself at this time, since you have a request for me, then in terms of new wine, it must not be too difficult for me, right?
The group got off the horse, and at this time, the descendants of the Liang family had already come over, pulled more than a dozen horses to the horse shed, and fed the beans first.
After more than a dozen people got off the horse, He Jun, Qi Gongzi, Liang Jin and Zuo Zeguang, only the four of them went to the Liang family's winemaking workshop area.
He Jun and Qi Gongzi naturally don't know how to make wine, in the workshop, there are newly brewed spirits, He Jun and Qi Gongzi have tasted it, especially Qi Gongzi, he tasted it, and suddenly felt a flame of wine, down the throat to the stomach, immediately flowing all over the body, and suddenly said happily: "Well, good wine!" ”
A few people took a turn in the workshop again, in fact, He Jun's original intention was to take away the workshop, but he thought that there was still a request for Liang Jin just now, and now he wanted to take away the industry; Let's not talk about whether the industry is taken away or not, you have to use others in the future, but the village guards raised by other people also need money, a lot of money, in order to be able to afford it, you have taken away his livelihood now, so how can he raise the village protection team? Wouldn't people be able to help in the future?
What's more, the business of this wine was taken away, and it was also for the seventh son, who helped the seventh prince to seize the family property. So in other words, this is only beneficial to the Seventh Prince, but it is disadvantageous to himself.
Of course, the seventh prince is his nephew, and he should take care of him more, but taking care of him is not completely disregarding his own interests!
So at this time, He Jun was a little unable to open his mouth, and he still felt in his heart that it was best for the seventh prince not to speak, otherwise this wine business would be given to you, and my side would share the benefits.
The seventh prince obviously hasn't had much contact with society, and he is still a simple character.
After the seventh prince drank the wine, he immediately said to his uncle before, how good the Liang family's spirits are, but at this time there was no longer any doubt, at this time the seventh prince said to Liang Jin: "I said that, brother," you don't know how to call Liang Jin for a while, think about it or call the other party "brother", which also seems kinder, after all, your uncle and others have actually talked about world friendship and called others "virtuous nephews";
And looking at Liang Jin's age, he is only sixteen or seventeen, and the seventh son is already twenty years old, so it is not bad to call Liang Jin "brother".
"My brother Liang, can you sell me this wine?" The seventh prince looked at Liang Jindao with a smile.
And as soon as he said this, not only Liang Jin's face changed greatly, but also He Jun, the uncle of the seventh prince on the side, also looked a little ugly, thinking: This nephew of his own, the ambition in his heart is still very big, he doesn't need to mention it himself, he can think of getting this Liang family's liquor at one time, this kind of thing that breaks the roots of others.
But after thinking about it again, He Jun thought of this seventh prince and his family, and he was suddenly not so surprised, but he also wanted to persuade the seventh prince, after all, this is also related to the interests of the security of his town, but he just wanted to speak, Liang Jin was also ready to answer reluctantly at this time, but at this time, the voice of the seventh prince said:
"What? Two brothers don't want to? ”
The Seventh Prince was a little disappointed and depressed at this time, but he still cheered up and said: "I just want to buy out your wine at the market price, that is, how your wine is sold outside, I will buy it at whatever price, and I am a buyout, no matter how much of this spirit you produce, I will only be allowed to sell it outside in the future, and you can only supply my goods!"
No matter how much it sells, I think it's worth it as long as I can drink it, it's a unique wine; Of course, don't open your mouth at the market price, I will look up your wine on the market, if I find that I am wronged...... Oh yes, this Brother Liang, my name is Guo Ying, and I am the seventh son of the head of the Guo family in Fukang County. ”
'Guo family?? ’
Liang Jin was shocked in his heart at first, and then thought that he didn't expect this noble son of the Guo family to ask for my wine in such a way, and he thought about it wrongly before, thinking that he was going to rob me of this wine.
Liang Jin hurriedly said: "Since the seventh prince has taken a fancy to my wine, I will use the market price of this wine to sell it to the childe, rest assured, the market price is only a little higher than ordinary wine, and from now on, I will only supply you to the seventh prince!" ”
At this time, He Jun also laughed, and then said to the seventh prince and Liang Jin: "In this case, everyone will be happy, congratulations to the seventh prince for getting such a good wine!" ”
At this time, Liang Jin also understood, and thought in his heart: Why did I say that He Jun, the uncle, did not call his nephew the seventh son by his name, but called him the seventh son, it turned out to be the son of the Guo family, and the Guo family is basically the soil emperor of Fukang County, no wonder, no wonder!
